CHAPTER 45: CHAPTER 45: SCANDAL

Qin Yikuo didn’t dare say anything more, fearful of causing another stir. After the last incident finally calmed down, any more trouble could further jeopardize his entertainment career.

The manager also didn’t want to involve the police since it was his oversight. The racecourse’s members are either wealthy or noble, and making a fuss would negatively affect the racecourse. Hence, he only intended to scare him a bit.

Waving his hand, the manager signaled for them to take Qin Yikuo away before turning toward Bo Yimo, "Young Master Bo, are you satisfied with this handling? I’m truly sorry."

Bo Yimo’s long, almond-shaped eyes narrowed slightly, "The person you should apologize to isn’t me."

The smart manager paused briefly and looked at Tong Yan, then immediately approached her with nods and bows, "Miss Tong, I’m really sorry for the inconvenience caused due to my negligence. Nanshan will definitely compensate for your loss."

Tong Yan waved her hand, "It’s alright, don’t worry about it." As for Qin Yikuo, wasn’t she familiar with him? After years of knowing each other, he would stop at nothing to achieve his goals, which partly explains his past success.

Even if Tong Yan didn’t want compensation, the manager dared not agree. A big figure was standing beside him; if unhappy with the handling, not only his job but possibly the entire racecourse would be in jeopardy.

After negotiations, Tong Yan and Yin Weiyi became lifetime VIPs at Nanshan Racecourse, granted free access for life, along with compensation of a car worth 200,000 for Tong Yan. She had no intention of accepting it, but the manager insisted, leaving her unable to refuse...

Tong Yan found this visit to the racecourse quite peculiar; initially a lowbrow experience of a lavish lifestyle, somehow it felt like she accidentally became a tycoon, and happiness came so abruptly she was caught off guard.

After the matter was settled, Tong Yan lost interest in continuing and prepared to leave after notifying Bo Yimo.

Bo Yimo, "Let’s go."

Tong Yan hadn’t yet reacted when Yin Weiyi nodded, "Let’s go, let’s go, big bust, we’ll leave with Young Master Mo."

"Weren’t you driving..." Yin Weiyi covered Tong Yan’s mouth, interrupting what she was about to say.

The two followed Bo Yimo out, only to encounter Qin Yikuo at the door, detained by two waitstaff and unable to leave.

Spotting Tong Yan, he stood up excitedly, "Yanyan, quickly tell them we’re friends, I only came to find you, not trespass into the racecourse."

Tong Yan’s smiling face turned cold instantly, looking at him indifferently, "Sir, do we know each other?"

Saying that, she pulled Yin Weiyi away, who nodded with satisfaction, defiantly raising her fist at Qin Yikuo, silently indicating: Serves you right.

Qin Yikuo watched their departing figures, his expression shifting unpredictably; veins bulging on his clenched fists, his brows legibly sinister, unsettling the waitstaff and softening their grip.

Bo Yimo dropped them home and left.

Jolted by a question, Tong Yan stood still; she never told Emperor Bo her address, so how did he know?

Yin Weiyi tugged her, "Everyone’s gone, what are you thinking about."

Early the next morning, major online media and newspapers reported Tong Yan and Bo Yimo’s joint horse riding adventure, yet not a word mentioned Qin Yikuo, filled instead with praises unusual in such reports.

Due to the well-written reports only stating they met during filming and are merely acquaintances, Tong Yan didn’t get blackened much, with her fanbase splitting into two factions: CP fans with Wen Shu and ones with Bo Yimo, often embroiled in debates under her Weibo.

Seeing this, Tong Yan felt helpless; imagining being with God Bo? Just the thought made her shudder, something she dared not envision. As for Wen Shu, he was still too young for her to consider.

Meanwhile, Qin Yikuo was indeed taken to the station, held for several days and specially looked after as mandated from above, emerging quite worn out.

Gu Feng was astounded how a simple horse ride turned into such a fuss; couldn’t this girl stay out of trouble for a moment? He thoroughly educated her for a whole day, leaving Tong Yan utterly drained.
