Chapter 1271 Risking one's life to win
Huo Yanchen was taken aback: "What did you call me?"
This was the first time someone had called him that. He hadn't heard it clearly. Jiang Manman, please say it again?
This was the first time Jiang Manman had ever properly called someone "husband"—not counting the husbands in TV dramas!
She had already told others about his relationship with Huo Yanchen, so calling him again wouldn't have been a problem. However, when Jiang Manman caught sight of her father walking over not far away, she immediately chickened out.
"Go, Uncle Huo!" Jiang Manman shouted.
Hearing this, Jiang's father came over and asked, "Manman, what are you doing bothering your Uncle Huo again?"
Jiang Manman said, "He's going to race, and I'm cheering him on."
"Brother Yanchen, you're going racing? Not bad, not bad. I'll just have to see how you young people play." Jiang's father came over and stood next to Jiang Manman, his eyes fixed on Huo Yanchen, determined not to let Huo Yanchen do anything inappropriate.
"Dad, why don't you old folks go over there and play on the bumper cars?" Jiang Manman didn't know why her father had come to join in the fun.
Jiang's father said, "You think I'm too old? Well, if you like younger people, then find someone even younger in the future. How about eighteen?"
He felt that eighteen years old was acceptable, but definitely not an old man in his thirties!
Jiang Manman subconsciously looked at Huo Yanchen, then said to her father, "Dad, what nonsense are you talking about? You should go play."
Huo Yanchen was very unhappy about not getting his future father-in-law's approval, and his gaze towards Bo Qing became sharp.
“I won’t give in to you,” Huo Yanchen said.
Bo Qing scoffed: "Do I need you to give way?"
"Enough talk, let's begin."
Bo Qing replied, "Haven't you been the one talking nonsense all along?"
Huo Yanchen and Bo Qing went to change into their racing suits together, and the two chose different racing cars.
Huo Yanchen was an extremely flamboyant bright red, while Bo Qing was a white car.
The race cars were parked side by side at the starting line, and even before the race started, you could feel the tension between the two drivers.
As the whistle blew, Bo Qing and Huo Yanchen rushed off the track together.
They were going extremely fast, accelerating almost immediately, and the two cars were almost side by side, neither giving way to the other.
However, some curves are destined to be crossed by only one person at a time, and two cars simply cannot pass each other side by side. Whoever gets there first is likely to leave the other far behind.
Huo Yanchen's driving style was even wilder than Bo Qing's. He practically floored the accelerator. Racing cars are much faster than ordinary cars, and the audience could only see the two cars in the drone footage. They were currently vying for the right of way on that bend.
Shen Yuan knows racing and has great confidence in Bo Qing. She knows Bo Qing's driving skills and that he is a confident person. He has a wife and children and a family, and he would never joke with his life.
If he wasn't confident, he'd rather lose the game than risk his life.
Shen Yuan had told Bo Qing countless times that no matter what the circumstances, life was more important, and if he dared to do anything reckless, he could forget about ever entering the house again.
Jiang Manman's palms were sweaty with nervousness. It was the first time she had ever seen such a thrilling race car. She felt like the wheels were about to produce sparks from friction. The speed was just too fast! If there was a collision or a rollover, the people inside could be in mortal danger.
"Sister Yuanyuan, I don't dare to watch anymore, I'm so nervous!" Jiang Manman covered her eyes with her hands.
Shen Yuan said, "Don't be afraid, nothing will happen. They are both sensible people."
No sooner had he finished speaking than Huo Yanchen's car crashed directly into Bo Qing's car. He was acting like he didn't care about his life, driving at such high speed and hitting the car with such force, just to make Bo Qing slow down so that he could turn faster.
Sure enough, when Huo Yanchen crashed into him, Bo Qing slowed down a bit, and the impact was not serious.
But those two seconds gave Huo Yanchen time. He accelerated and sped toward the bend.
The curve only allows one car to pass at a time, so the two cars that were originally side by side now have Huo Yanchen in front.
Huo Yanchen drives too recklessly, much more aggressively than Bo Qing.
Gu Sijue and Ston both started discussing: "Is Huo Yanchen so desperate to win that he's willing to risk his life for Brother Bo to be his underling?"
“Exactly, that’s going too far. Does he know that the boss values his life and that the boss will go easy on him?” Ston agreed.
Gu Sijue continued, "That's right, he's betting that Brother Bo won't risk his life to joke with him, so he's being very arrogant now."
"Pah, Huo Yanchen is shameless!"
Gu Sijue agreed: "Yes, there's a reason why someone like him has no friends!"
The two men were cursing Huo Yanchen relentlessly, treating him as their mortal enemy.
Upon hearing this, Jiang Manman stepped forward and said, "How can you talk about Huo Yanchen like that? Huo Yanchen is also very capable. He just takes every match seriously. Since he said he was going to compete, what's wrong with wanting to win?"
Although Huo Yanchen's actions were somewhat risky, his desire to win was not wrong.
"Also, Huo Yanchen doesn't need to give way. Whether he wins or loses, he will always be the best in my heart!" Jiang Manman added.
Gu Sijue stared at her, then took a deep breath: "How come Huo Yanchen is so lucky? Where did he find someone as love-struck as you?"
"I'm not love-struck, nor am I taking Huo Yanchen's side; I'm just stating the facts objectively."
"If Huo Yanchen committed murder and arson, would you also think he did the right thing?" Stanton asked.
Jiang Manman said, "It depends on the situation. If Huo Yanchen really does that, he must have his reasons. He's not the kind of person who would just lay a hand on anyone. It must be that someone did something wrong to offend him."
Stanton said, "Look, look, you're not just love-struck, you think everything Huo Yanchen does is right."
"Huo Yanchen is not that kind of person, he is a very good person!"
Gu Sijue also said, "I'm afraid you're the only one who thinks Huo Yanchen is a good person. Of course, I'm not saying you have a problem, but Huo Yanchen really isn't a good person."
Hearing this from the side, Shen Yuan also said, "You two, that's enough. How can you bully such a young girl? Besides, Manman is right. Huo Yanchen may have some shortcomings, but he is still good in some aspects. You shouldn't be so hostile towards him."
Jiang Manman stood next to Shen Yuan: "That's right, you two are just prejudiced."
Gu Sijue said, "Little Yuanyuan, why are you still taking Huo Yanchen's side?"
Shen Yuan said, "Huo Yanchen's strength is beyond doubt. He just acts a bit flamboyantly and is a bit too targeted. But it is undeniable that those who think Huo Yanchen is ruthless are those who are not as strong as him."
