Vinnie stared resentfully at Lu Zhi, hoping he would show some compassion and not help Jiang Yining harm her.
However, the next moment, Lu Zhi said without hesitation, “Miss Vinnie, you should have heard what my wife said. Please give her the horse.”
Vinnie clenched her lip so hard it felt like she was about to draw blood.
She had never been humiliated like this in her entire life!
Jiang Yining!

She would remember her!
Vinnie remained quiet for a moment, then muttered to her servant, “Hand the horse over to them.”
“Okay.”
The servant dared not disobey and quickly led the horse over to Jiang Yining.
Jiang Yining took the reins and gently stroked the horse’s head. The horse seemed to sense her emotions, calming down from its earlier agitation.
Jiang Yining smiled at Lu Zhi and said, “This horse is really good. Let’s airlift it back to our country.”
The jewelry they won from Vinnie Austin and Luna would easily cover the cost of transporting three horses and building a new horse farm.
“It’s up to you.”
He would unconditionally support whatever his wife wanted to do.
Jiang Yining was overjoyed.
Mr. Manchester and the reluctant Luna approached, with Mr. Manchester smiling as he said, “Yining, you’re really amazing.”
In his lifetime, he had never seen a girl with such exceptional horsemanship, especially a Chinese girl.
“You’re too kind, Mr. Manchester. 1 just have a basic understanding. My grandfather is the true expert in riding. I learned everything from him,” Jiang Yining modestly replied.
Mr. Manchester was very interested in meeting her grandfather to see what kind of master could produce such a talented student, but he didn’t press for more information.
Instead, he turned to Luna and said, “Luna, didn’t you make a bet with Ah Zhi just now? It’s time to fulfill the bet.”
Luna’s lips twitched slightly as she reluctantly approached. “All Zhi, you wouldn’t ask for something unreasonable from your aunt, right?”
She tried to use her seniority to exert pressure on Lu Zhi, hoping he wouldn’t propose any humiliating conditions.
However, Mr. Manchester promptly said, “Ah Zhi, the bet is unrelated to status. Feel free to make your request.”
“Father…”
Luna stomped her foot, feeling wronged.
However, Mr. Manchester remained unfazed.
“I initially wanted you to apologize to Yining because you underestimated her. But upon reflection, 1 think it’s unnecessary. Whether you hold Yining in high regard or not is irrelevant to us. We don’t care,” Lu Zhi said indifferently, making it clear that Luna, her aunt, held no value for him.
Luna’s became increasingly uncomfortable.
Lu Zhi paused and continued in a languid tone, “Nevertheless, since we made a bet, 1 will propose something. Let Yining treat Abby.”
What?
Let Jiang Yining treat Abby?
No!
Luna was the first to oppose this. She exclaimed, “What is she, really? She isn’t a qualified doctor. 1 can’t entrust my daughter’s life to someone unqualified!”
“Yining is highly skilled, and she’s a licensed physician in our home country. She has a medical qualification,” Lu Zhi replied, embracing Jiang Yining’s shoulder, full of trust. “She’s treating my illness.”
“Can she compare to experts? At such a young age, what kind of medical skills can she possess?” Luna continued to express her distrust of Jiang Yining, full of rejection.
“Even experts can’t cure Abby. If they can, will Abby still be sick?” Lu Zhi said.
“As long as you entrust Abby to Yining, 1 guarantee Abby’s recovery.”
“And how can you guarantee that?” Luna asked, her tone confrontational.
“With my life. If I don’t see any improvement in Abby’s condition before leaving Sweden, you can do as you please,” Jiang Yining said in a calm tone.
Luna stared at her in silence, feeling that Jiang Yining couldn’t possibly be so benevolent. Despite all the mistreatment, even suggesting that Vinnie should marry Lu Zhi, Jiang Yining was willing to help her daughter get medical treatment? Could there be an ulterior motive?
She couldn’t afford to give Jiang Yining such an opportunity!
Luna began to voice her refusal, but Mr. Manchester intervened firmly, “Very well, 1 allow you to treat Abby. If you can cure Abby, I will acknowledge you as our daughter-in-law in the Manchester family.”
Mr. Manchester, too, did not recognize Jiang Yining, considering her background less than reputable. He had always treated her with politeness, aiming to make a good impression on Lu Zhi and facilitate his return to the Manchester family.
He had always addressed Jiang Yining as “Ms. Jiang,” rather than using a more intimate form of address, to maintain a certain distance.
However, after witnessing Jiang Yining’s courage and ability at the racetrack just now, he changed his mind. Perhaps having Ah Zhi marry someone like her could lead the Manchester family to a brilliant future.
Mr. Manchester’s words made Luna’s expression change entirely.
“Father! How can you allow this wild girl to join our Manchester family?” she protested.
“Luna, the decision 1 made is not for you to question,” Mr. Manchester retorted, his voice carrying a tone of authority.
He was not just her father but the emperor of the entire House of Manchester, looking at the bigger picture and the future.
Luna knew her father’s character well, understanding that she couldn’t sway his decision, so she fell silent.
She glared at Jiang Yining, warning her directly, “I warn you, if anything happens to Abby, 1 will take your life!”
She didn’t care about Lu Zhi’s presence now. She was making a direct threat.
Jiang Yining smiled and remained silent as Luna turned and left.
Mr. Manchester had someone bring Abby to them and then said to Jiang Yining, “You can ask for anything you need from me. As long as you can cure Abby, I’m willing to take the risk.”
“Okay,” Jiang Yining replied. She gently touched Abby’s soft curly hair and said, “Little one, your sister will be spending more time with you in the coming days.”
Abby looked up at her with innocent joy and replied, “I like my sister. I’m happy to spend more time with her. Sister, can 1 sleep with you tonight?”
Before Jiang Yining could respond, Lu Zhi, in a cold tone, declared, “No.”
He hadn’t even slept together with Yining, so of course, this little one couldn’t either. He was her uncle, but that didn’t change his decision.
Abby looked disappointed.
Jiang Yining smiled and reassured her, “Don’t listen to him. You can sleep with me, no problem.”
“Yay!”
Abby’s face lit up with a bright smile.
Lu Zhi’s expression became somewhat gloomy.
He regretted giving in to Luna’s condition and agreeing to let Yining treat her.
Mr. Manchester observed the harmonious trio and felt a hint of nostalgia, but it quickly faded.
In the evening, Jiang Yining conducted a thorough examination of Abby and formulated a treatment plan.
Since she and Lu Zhi didn’t have much time in Sweden, they needed to employ methods that would produce faster results.
Once the treatment showed its effectiveness, the House of Manchester would naturally come to believe in her medical skills.
For the subsequent treatment, she planned to entrust it to other doctors to handle. Jiang Yining promptly prepared a herbal bath for Abby, just as she had done with Lu Zhi.
She had Abby soak in a tub filled with Chinese herbal medicine while simultaneously using silver needles to puncture her acupoints and detoxify her.
Abby was still a child, and her poisoning was quite severe.
Throughout the treatment process, the little one had teary eyes, appearing pitiful. Even the assisting servants felt sorry for her.
Despite the discomfort, Jiang Yining maintained a stoic expression as she encouraged Abby to persevere.
Abby obediently followed her guidance and remained inside the herbal medicine tub.
After a complete treatment session, Jiang Yining gently carried Abby out.
The originally tawny-colored herbal solution had been tainted into a dark brown by the toxins within her body.
Exhausted, Abby laid in Jiang Yining’s arms and fell into a deep slumber.
Jiang Yining cradled her, entered the bedroom, covered her with a blanket, and left quietly.
As she stepped into the corridor, she spotted Lu Zhi leaning against the wall, patiently waiting for her to emerge.
His well-defined facial features were cast into a subtle shadow under the dim hallway lighting, exuding an air of restraint.
It stirred an irresistible allure, making one’s heart flutter. The masculine charm was undeniably enticing.
Jiang Yining approached him and asked, “Why haven’t you gone to sleep?”
Lu Zhi replied with a faint smile, placing his hand on her shoulder and massaging it gently. “I was waiting for you to finish the treatment. Are you tired?”
Jiang Yining sighed, “Exhausted. I haven’t rested the entire day. How could I not be tired? I’m so worn out that 1 could fall asleep right here.”
Lu Zhi proposed, “How about going to my room? I’ll give you a massage.”
Jiang Yining teased, “Why the sudden kindness?”
Lu Zhi explained, “You saved Abby for my sake. I have to repay you.” With those words, he led her to his bedroom.
Jiang Yining was indeed weary and, following his lead, collapsed onto his plush bed. She muttered, “Fine, you still have a conscience. Help me with a five-minute massage, and then I’ll leave.”
“Alright,” Lu Zhi agreed. He brushed her hair to the side and began kneading her shoulders.
Jiang Yining felt so comfortable that she sprawled out.
After a while, Jiang Yining’s face turned bright red. “No more massage,” she requested, attempting to sit up.
Lu Zhi, however, forcefully pushed her back down and said, “We haven’t finished the massage yet. What’s the rush?”
Jiang Yining was speechless.
Hadn’t they agreed to repay her for treating Abby? Why did it feel like a coerced transaction?
Lu Zhi continued to focus on massaging her.
Time passed, and Jiang Yining’s body completely relaxed. Her eyelids grew heavy and gradually closed.
She fell asleep completely.
Lu Zhi noticed that she was no longer moving and ceased his ministrations. He gently turned her over, undressed her, and put her in pajamas.
“Good night, my little cat. Sweet dreams..”
