Chapter 483: Favor
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Ning Li’s lips curled into a smile.
“Sure.”
Upon hearing her affirmative answer, Old Madam Gu’s expression became even more gentle and joyful. Only then did she leave.
The group of people gradually disappeared into the distance.
“Ah Li.”
Yu Pingchuan called out to her.
Ning Li turned her head. For a moment, she did not know where to begin.
This matter…
“Teacher Yu, the ‘Yinyin’ that Old Madam Gu mentioned just now, is it the one you mentioned before…?”
She spoke hesitantly.
Yu Pingchuan knew that she was smart, so he immediately sighed.
“Yes, it’s the Fourth Miss Gu– Gu Tingyin.”
Ning Li thought to herself that it was as expected.
Recalling Old Madam Gu’s expression earlier, it was likely that she doted on this daughter very much.
She did not know why the Gu family’s fourth young miss had passed away back then, leaving Old Madam Gu feeling so sad.
However, this was a private matter of the Gu family. As an outsider, it was naturally inappropriate for her to ask too much.
However, every time she thought of the scene where the light in Old Madam Gu’s eyes had gradually disappeared, her heart also felt a little sour.
She touched her face and asked curiously, “I… Do I look very similar to the Fourth Miss Gu?”
Yu Pingchuan shook his head.
“I haven’t seen that person with my own eyes. However, I heard that when the Fourth Miss Gu passed away, she was only in her early twenties, not much older than you are now. I reckon that you look a little similar to her. Furthermore, you ride horses… Perhaps you look even more alike because of that.”
Ning Li nodded.
Gu Siyang had also said that Old Madam Gu’s eyesight was not very good. From afar, it did not seem strange for her to make this mistake.
The horse trainer asked respectfully, “Miss Ning, would you still like to continue?”
In fact, after Gu Siyang had lost his temper at the stables yesterday, all the staff here already knew that Ning Li was an honored guest that had been personally invited by Gu Tinglan.
Thus, his attitude today was extremely polite.
However, it now seemed to be even more cordial and respectful.
Everyone present could tell that Old Madam Gu treated this Miss Ning Li exceptionally differently.
Even Old Master Gu…
No matter what her background was, now that she was favored by the Gu family, she was on a different level altogether.
Ning Li stroked the head of the cyan-colored horse.
“No need, let’s call it a day.”
The horse trainer asked again, “Then, what do you think we should name it?”
All the horses in the horse farm were owned by the Gu family and were uniformly numbered.
Only after they had been auctioned off and had an owner would it be given an official name.
Now that the cyan-colored horse would not be going through the bidding process, and Old Master Gu had given it to Ning Li directly, that meant that it was already hers.
Ning Li thought for a moment and said, “Let’s call it Qingfeng.”
She touched its ears.
“Do you like this name?”
Qingfeng shook his head and rubbed his head against her palm.
Ning Li smiled.
“Then I’ll take it as your agreement. Remember to work hard tomorrow and get first place.”
She said seriously, “Whether or not Teacher Yu will have to sell one less painting or not, will all depend on you.”
Yu Pingchuan, “…”
Qingfeng neighed, as if responding to her words.
Ning Li looked at the sky.
“Teacher Yu, let’s go back too.”
…
At the Gu residence.
Gu Siyang helped Old Madam Gu to her room to rest. After seeing that she was fine, he quietly left the room.
When he arrived at the living room, she saw that only Gu Tingfeng was there. Old Master Gu was nowhere to be seen.
Gu Siyang looked around and asked curiously, “Dad, where’s Grandpa?”
Gu Tingfeng was sitting on the sofa, lost in thought.
When he heard Gu Siyang, he raised his head and looked over.
“Oh, your Grandpa went to the study.”

Gu Siyang looked in the direction of the study.
The door was tightly shut, and it was quiet.
He sighed.
Without thinking, he knew that his grandfather must have gone to look at the photo album of his fourth aunt again.
All these years, he had rarely gone to look at those photos. Every time he had looked at them, he would feel sad.
But today…
“Dad, I’ve seen Aunt’s photos too. I feel that Ning Li and her… don’t really look alike.”
Gu Tingyin had passed away when Gu Siyang was very young, so he actually had no impression of her.
Most of his understanding had come from the photos that he had seen later, as well as the descriptions of the past by the other members of the Gu family.
Gu Tingfeng pondered for a long time before saying, “If you only look at the photos, there is indeed only a slight resemblance, but… when riding a horse, the way she holds her back is really very similar.”
It was hard to tell from the static state, but the movements were much more vivid and clear.
Gu Siyang understood.
Gu Tingfeng sighed.
“No wonder your uncle said that he felt close to her when he saw her and was willing to take the initiative to help…”
Gu Siyang asked curiously, “I’ve never heard uncle mention this before though.”
Gu Tingfeng smiled, but there was a hint of bitterness and helplessness in his smile.
“Your uncle liked to stick to your fourth aunt when they were young, but when she passed away, he was only ten years old. How much could he remember?”
If Ning Li had not worn that riding outfit and helmet today, he might have thought that this girl only very slightly resembled Yinyin when he saw her. He would never have mistaken her and would not have thought too much of it.
“Sigh.” Gu Siyang was conflicted. “Grandma’s health isn’t very good to begin with. This…”
Gu Tingfeng shook his head.
“Your grandma didn’t coax you. She’s really happy today.”
It was when Ning Li held her hand and comforted her with a smile.
He could see it clearly from the side.
It had been so many years since the incident. Everyone in the Gu family knew very well that what they had lost would never come back.
None of them had ever dared to have such a fantasy.
But today, Ning Li had appeared.
Even if it was just a moment of consolation, it was still very precious to Old Madam Gu.
“This child…” Gu Tingfeng paused for a long time. “She’s quite good.
“If there’s a chance in the future, do invite her over.”
Gu Siyang agreed.
“Okay.”
…
The second horse race day.
The process of the race was exactly the same as the day before. At the same time, Ning Li and Yu Pingchuan went to the Dutian Racecourse.
Compared to the day before, the enthusiasm of the audience had not decreased. In the huge racecourse, the cheers were almost at boiling point.
Ning Li took a look at the field.
Qingfeng was in position for the first race.
“Teacher Yu, you should bet on Qingfeng today.”
Yu Pingchuan looked conflicted.
On one hand, he felt that Qingfeng had a fierce temper. Although he was quite obedient to Ning Li, he might not be able to get first place on the field.
On the other hand, he was really afraid of losing another painting.
Ning Li was a newbie, so he reckoned that she would be lucky?
He gritted his teeth.
“Alright!”
…
Box Number 6.
Gu Tinglan leaned back on the chair and looked at the field, a little lost in thought.
Last night, Gu Siyang had told him about the incident at the stables, and he was a little surprised.
He had seen Ning Li riding a horse before.
However, he had not paid much attention to the casual clothes she had been wearing at that time.
Did she really look like his fourth sister when she wore riding clothes?
“Young Master Lan.”
The senior director sitting next to him spoke, interrupting his thoughts.
Gu Tinglan looked over.
“What’s wrong?”
The director’s expression was a little strange. After a long while, he said, “That person has placed a bet again today. He bet on Number 9 to win alone.
“He seems to have…. bet on all the winnings from yesterday’s game.”
