Chapter 313: To race or not to race.
The silence on the other end of the line seemed to judge Mei Mei before her mother could even respond. Why couldn’t she be trusted, the answer was easy.
HER FIRST MARRIAGE!!!
Mei Mei growled. "I know what you are thinking mother but move on. Yes, I married a terrible man but that does not mean this one decision should ruin the rest of my life. I am allowed to redeem myself and I am tired of people acting like I have a neon sign on top of my head which reads "here comes the idiot that married the wrong man even though her parents warned her multiple times not to do it."
On the other end of the phone, Chi Lian was arching her brows because she had not said any of the things Mei Mei was saying. But, her daughter had always been prone to leaping to conclusions early sometimes.
Mei Mei huffed. "When are we going to move on?"
"Who says we haven’t?" Chi Lian asked her.
Mei Mei was stunned and her lips thinned. The response her mother gave was not what she was expecting to hear. Now what? Suddenly she was feeling stupid for ranting like an idiot.
Chi Lian said, "Mei Mei the Vermillion derby is going to be held in three weeks. I assumed you were joining and you would not have time to participate in small things like the ruination of a small fish like Hui Zhenting."
Mei Mei’s hand tightened around her phone. The idea of joining professional horse racing had not crossed her mind since she returned to her origins. Granted, she was once a rider bred for greatness but that had been a decade ago. Now, she was a has been. There were a lot of young riders, some of whom performed tricks that were once thought impossible.
The Vermillion derby was hosted by the royal family for nobles. Each noble family had to send a rider to represent them in the race.
