"I would definitely be willing to help, but..." Jiang Lu hesitated, feeling anxious. After all, it was a big occasion. Although she usually acted carefree, she couldn't help but feel nervous.
"Xiao Lu, just give it a try," Qin Xusha encouraged.
"Let's check out the outfits first," Jiang Lu said, knowing that some fashion pieces were bold and avant-garde. She didn't want to wear anything too daring and draw attention to herself.
"Take a look at these few sets," Ni Xingyi said as they waited for the traffic light to change. He pulled out his phone and showed Jiang Lu several fashion photos.
"These clothes are so beautiful!" Jiang Lu's eyes lit up.
Jiang Chen leaned in to take a look as well; the outfits were not revealing at all.
"They're indeed nice, Xiao Lu. If you're willing, you should go try them on," Jiang Chen said with a smile. Every girl loves beauty, and with such pretty clothes in front of her, how could Jiang Lu not like them?
"Then I'll go try them on." Seeing that Jiang Chen agreed, Jiang Lu felt more confident.
Back at the apartment, Ni Xingyi went home while Jiang Chen and the others rested in the apartment.
The next morning, Ni Xingyi came to pick up Jiang Chen and the others for breakfast. After they finished eating, Ni Xingyi mentioned that she was going to meet Mengli Delson's grandson.
In the suburbs, at a racetrack.
Li Wenhou said that today Mengli Delson's grandson, Bowen Delson, was holding an equestrian competition at the racetrack and had specifically asked Ni Xingyi to bring Qin Xusha and Jiang Lu along.
At the entrance of the racetrack, Li Wenhou, dressed in riding attire, was eagerly waiting. When he saw Ni Xingyi's car arrive, he hurried over to greet them. However, upon noticing that Jiang Chen had also come along, his brow furrowed slightly.
"Oh, Mr. Jiang, what brings you here? I'm sorry, but this racetrack is an exclusive venue with a membership system. You need to have a membership card to enter. I wasn't aware you would be coming, so I only arranged membership cards for the three ladies. Unfortunately, yours wasn't processed. What should we do? Perhaps you could wait for us at the café outside?" Li Wenhou said as if he had just remembered something important, his tone laden with meaning.
Ni Xingyi understood that Li Wenhou was trying to make things difficult for Jiang Chen. She quickly intervened, "Since Jiang Chen is here, why don't we all go in together? How much is a membership card? I'll get one for him."
"Miss Ni, money isn't really the issue. I just don't want someone to come in and embarrass us. Those who can enter here are all people of status; especially the men are from high society. If someone like him enters, it would be like a chicken among swans—completely out of place," Li Wenhou replied dismissively, clearly looking down on Jiang Chen.
He didn't want Jiang Chen tagging along; in such settings, the number and quality of women around a man reflected his charm. Li Wenhou wanted to take Ni Xingyi, Qin Xusha, and Jiang Lu inside to show off; having Jiang Chen there would only overshadow him.
Ni Xingyi felt somewhat helpless but didn't want to offend Li Wenhou since she needed his help today.
"Jiang Chen, why don't you wait outside for us? I'll go inside to meet someone and will be back quickly," Ni Xingyi suggested.
"Who cares about going in? Bro, I'll keep you company for coffee," Jiang Lu said affectionately towards her newly recognized brother.
"I'll stay too," Qin Xusha smiled. "Xing Yi, you go handle your business inside; we won't go in and be third wheels."
"That's fine," Ni Xingyi nodded.
However, seeing that both Qin Xusha and Jiang Lu were not going inside made Li Wenhou reconsider; rather than continue being the bad guy, he might as well be magnanimous.
