{Chapter: 103 Five hundred thousand per game! Winner takes all!}
When Lin Yuan mentioned that his blind date would be arriving in just a few minutes, Yan Ruyue instinctively turned her gaze forward.
With her intuition as a woman, she immediately looked at Qiao Siying, and in an instant, she was certain—this girl had to be Lin Yuan's blind date.
Especially upon noticing the emotions flickering in Qiao Siying's eyes, Yan Ruyue became 100% sure of her assumption.
Then, without hesitation, Qiao Siying suddenly rushed toward them at full speed.
Yan Ruyue was momentarily stunned.
Does this girl like Lin Yuan that much?
She looks as if she's about to throw herself into Lin Yuan's arms the moment she sees him!
That was the most logical explanation Yan Ruyue could come up with—after all, considering Lin Yuan's outstanding appearance, his immeasurable wealth, and his unmatched charisma, it wouldn't be surprising if women couldn't help but be drawn to him.
However, the next second, Qiao Siying's actions completely shattered Yan Ruyue's expectations.
The moment she reached Lin Yuan, Qiao Siying didn't act like a lovestruck girl swooning over her prince charming. Instead, she angrily pointed at him and shouted, "Lin Yuan! I finally caught you! Let's see if I don't beat you to death today!"
Without waiting for any reaction, Qiao Siying fiercely grabbed Lin Yuan's wrist, her grip as tight as iron.
Hearing Qiao Siying's furious exclamation, Yan Ruyue immediately realized—she had misunderstood everything.
Her beautiful eyes flickered as she observed the scene, reassessing the situation.
On the other hand, Lin Yuan remained completely unfazed as he looked at Qiao Siying, his expression as calm as ever.
"Miss Qiao," he said lazily, "haven't I already taught you that men and women shouldn't have excessive physical contact? Why is it that every time you see me, you rush toward me like this? Are you sure you aren't the one who keeps getting too close to me?"
"You dare to talk back?! You bullied me, cheated me out of my money, and made me suffer all kinds of humiliation! And you still have the audacity to act innocent?!" Qiao Siying fumed, her anger only intensifying at Lin Yuan's composed demeanor.
Unable to contain her frustration, she clenched her small fist and aimed to punch Lin Yuan.
However, before she could land a hit, Lin Yuan effortlessly caught her wrist mid-air.
"Miss Qiao, please clarify exactly when I bullied you, how I cheated you, and what kind of humiliation you supposedly suffered. I genuinely don't recall ever doing anything to you," Lin Yuan said, his voice cool and detached.
"You—!"
Qiao Siying opened her mouth, wanting to argue, but then she hesitated.
Her thoughts involuntarily drifted back to their very first encounter…
At the time, she had initially wanted to fool Lin Yuan, but in the end, she was the one who got deceived instead.
Then, she had plotted to trap Lin Yuan through a blind date setup, only for her plan to backfire spectacularly—she even ended up stepping on something disgusting in the process!
Now that she thought about it, every single time she was embarrassed, she had actually been the one to initiate the situation.
From beginning to end, Lin Yuan never actively did anything to her…
Yet, she was always the one who ended up suffering!
Qiao Siying's mouth opened and closed, but she found herself unable to refute him.
After a few seconds, she suddenly stomped her foot and said shamelessly, "Who cares! You bullied me, and you cheated my money! That's the truth!"
At this moment, the group of people who had been with Qiao Siying finally approached them as well.
With Qiao Siying's status, beauty, and figure, it was natural that she would have many admirers and followers. The licking dogs.
Sure enough, two young men immediately stepped forward, their faces darkening as they glared at Lin Yuan.
"Hey! What do you think you're doing?! Let go of Miss Qiao this instant!" One of them shouted.
Their names were Zhang San and Wang Wu—two typical rich second-generation heirs who always followed Qiao Siying around, hoping to gain her favor.
Qiao Siying frowned at their interference.
Although she despised Lin Yuan, she hated these two bootlickers even more.
However, Zhang San and Wang Wu obviously intended to act tough in front of Qiao Siying, trying to play the role of heroes rescuing the beauty.
The two men arrogantly reached out, attempting to pull Qiao Siying away from Lin Yuan while posturing as if they were about to teach him a lesson.
But before they could even touch Lin Yuan, everything happened in a flash—
Lin Yuan casually released Qiao Siying's wrist and, with a swift motion, landed two precise kicks.
Bam! Bam!
Zhang San and Wang Wu were sent flying several meters away before they crashed heavily onto the ground, groaning in pain.
The surrounding people were completely stunned.
The entire group fell into an eerie silence.
Even Qiao Siying quietly withdrew her hand from Lin Yuan's arm.
Yan Ruyue, on the other hand, was utterly shocked.
Since when did Lin Yuan become this skilled at fighting?!
Among the group, one person's expression shifted the most—Tang Bowen, the leader of the group.
Although he was a rich playboy who indulged in pleasure, he wasn't foolish. He immediately stepped forward, attempting to de-escalate the situation.
"Alright, alright, let's not cause trouble here," Tang Bowen said with a forced smile.
Then, turning to Qiao Siying, he asked, "Miss Qiao, may I ask… who exactly is this gentleman?"
Qiao Siying pouted and huffed, "Him? His name is Lin Yuan."
"Lin Yuan… Lin Yuan…" Tang Bowen muttered to himself before his eyes suddenly widened in realization.
He abruptly looked up and blurted, "You mean the young master of the Lin family? The legendary god of stocks, Lin Yuan?!"
"Yes, it's him," Qiao Siying scoffed. "But don't call him a god of stocks—call him a scam god!"
Everyone present immediately understood the significance of Lin Yuan's identity.
The Lin family was one of the top families in Jiangbei, an existence they couldn't even begin to compare with. Even the Qiao family and Tang family were barely on the same level as them.
Zhang San and Wang Wu, who had initially wanted to intimidate Lin Yuan with their family background, quickly scrambled up from the ground.
Without another word, they lowered their heads and pretended that nothing had happened.
Meanwhile, the eyes of the girls in the group were practically sparkling.
The young master of the Lin family was not only incredibly wealthy but also impossibly handsome.
"It turns out you really are that Lin Yuan—the one who made thirty billion in ten minutes! Your name is legendary!" Tang Bowen exclaimed, his tone full of admiration.
"Thank you," Lin Yuan replied indifferently.
Tang Bowen then turned back to Qiao Siying and asked, "Miss Qiao, what exactly is your dispute with Master Lin?"
"…." Qiao Siying opened her mouth to answer, but no words came out.
She had no valid argument!
Tang Bowen, sensing the tension, quickly came up with an idea.
"Master Lin must be an equestrian here, and Miss Qiao is also an equestrian."
"Well, let me boldly advise. Let's not fight and hurt physically. Since we are already on the racetrack, let's use horsemanship to resolve grievances, how about that?" he suggested.
Lin Yuan immediately saw through Tang Bowen's motive.
This guy was obviously interested in Qiao Siying and was trying to help her.
After all, Qiao Siying is not only a mixed-race beauty but also has the Qiao family behind her.
In the original novel, Tang Bowen was beaten several times by Ye Feng, the protagonist, because of Qiao Siying…
And now Tang Bowen intends to help Qiao Siying.
He doesn't know Lin Yuan's equestrian skills, but he knows how good Qiao Siying's equestrian skills are.
When Qiao Siying studied abroad, she often raced horses.
Sure enough, after hearing Tang Bowen's words, Qiao Siying's eyes lit up.
"Yes! Let's use horsemanship to compare who is better! Lin Yuan, if you lose, you'll give me back the money you scammed from me!"
Still, Lin Yuan smirked. "Miss Qiao, when did I cheat you? It's not impossible to compare. I can give money if I lose, but what about your bet?" Lin Yuan smiled.
Tang Bowen hurriedly said: "Just follow our usual rules! Five hundred thousand yuan per game! Winner takes all!"
Tang Bowen explained the rules.That is, everyone who participates in the race has to pay a deposit of 500,000 yuan, and whoever reaches the finish line first can get the deposit of all other participants.
Qiao Siying, who is already good at horse racing, often comes here to race to earn money from the rich second generation.
Qiao Siying knew that Lin Yuan would not admit the money that he cheated from her, so she nodded and said to Tang Bowen's proposal: "Yes."
Lin Yuan chuckled. "No problem"
Seeing this, Tang Bowen was relieved.
"Then it is settled." Tang Bowen announced.
Qiao Siying then added, "But today, I'm adding another rule—we must race at least three times!"
