Chapter 513 Giving a small gift led to a misunderstanding.
Buy it for myself?
Huo Zhijing was surprised that Ning Yao would say such a thing, and a fleeting look of astonishment crossed his eyes.
"You can race cars?" After a brief moment of shock, Huo Zhijing regained his composure and continued to ask, "Does Miss Ning Yao participate in racing competitions?"
Since he can assemble race cars and has some racing skills, it would be a shame if he didn't participate in competitions.
He had to admit that he was genuinely interested in Ning Yao's racing skills.
There are quite a few female car models, as well as female assistants who follow the race car drivers, but only a small number of women actually sit in the driver's seat and drive, and enjoy racing.
Even among those who enjoy racing, very few are professional racers, and women who assemble their own racing cars are even rarer.
Huo Zhijing knew of one such person, an international professional female race car driver whom he was very interested in and wanted to meet.
Because that woman accepted the invitation to participate in the competition, he took time out of his busy schedule to reassemble his car and compete against the renowned female racer.
Unexpectedly, besides that female race car driver, there were other women in the world who loved racing, and he actually bumped into them right under his nose in the black market.
"I didn't have enough time before, I was too busy, so I only participated in a few competitions," Ning Yao said truthfully.
It's a real shame. If she had participated more often, she might have won several championships in a row and made a name for herself in racing history.
"That's pretty good too. Are you assembling this race car to participate in a competition?" Huo Zhijing smiled as he looked at Ning Yao, his eyes filled with interest—an appreciation based on shared interests, devoid of any other ulterior motives.
The biggest motorsport competition recently is the Formula One World Championship, but only professional racing drivers can participate.
Huo Zhijing never imagined that Ning Yao would be a professional. She had only participated in a few competitions, so it was very likely just a hobby for her.
Although Huo Zhijing only mentally assessed Ning Yao, his eyes showed a hint of disdain.
"Hmm, isn't the Formula One Championship about to start? Has President Huo been invited to participate?" Ning Yao looked steadily at Huo Zhijing.
She had participated in Formula One championships before, but had never seen Huo Zhijing appear.
Moreover, she watches the live broadcast of the championship every year, so she would definitely remember if Huo Zhijing had ever participated.
Therefore, Huo Zhijing's assembling of the race car will not result in an invitation to participate in the championship, but her question is not very harmful, though it is somewhat insulting.
Ha, who gave him permission to look at her like that?
Ning Yao thought to herself, if I don't teach Huo Zhijing a lesson, he'll really think of her as an unknown little racer.
"Coincidentally, I was also invited to participate in this Formula Championship. Originally, I didn't have time, but there's a racer I'm quite interested in who will be participating, so..." At this point, Huo Zhijing shrugged, his smile appearing quite sincere.
After hearing Huo Zhijing's words, a thought flashed through Ning Yao's mind so quickly that she could barely grasp it.
"I wonder which race car driver Mr. Huo is interested in?"
"Coincidentally, she is also an internationally renowned female racing driver, but she rarely appears in the public eye and has participated in Formula One championships only a handful of times."
"If Miss Ning Yao has a habit of watching Formula One championships, she should remember this."
"She is Vera, the Formula One champion from two years ago."
As soon as Huo Zhijing finished speaking, Ning Yao's fox-like eyes widened instantly, utterly shocked.
Vera, and the Formula One racing champion from two years ago—just those two things combined would make any misunderstanding impossible.
So, the rival that Huo Zhijing was interested in was her?
Could he be...?
"You're Giken?" Ning Yao's tone changed, revealing an expression of utter disbelief.
What a coincidence! She actually ran into Giken himself in the black market of the capital.
Ever since they both participated in the Formula One World Championship and won, videos comparing the two have been circulating wildly online.
"Hmm." Huo Zhijing let out a low groan, glancing at Ning Yao as if he understood.
It seems that Ms. Ning Yao is addicted to disguise. Vera is actually a European she disguised herself as, because Ning Yao is not short to begin with, so it is very convenient for her to disguise herself as any nationality.
Therefore, the Vera that appeared on the field was her disguised appearance.
"I never expected that Giken would also be from China, and the head of the Huo Group in the capital city." Ning Yao exclaimed in amazement.
No wonder Giken always wears a head covering during matches; it turns out Huo Zhijing doesn't want to be in the spotlight.
"The world is full of wonders, it must be fate. Miss Ning Yao, would you do me the honor of having a drink?" Huo Zhijing said with a smile.
“No problem, but I’ll have to wait until I’ve bought all the racing car parts. Would you mind waiting a bit, Mr. Huo?” Ning Yao looked at Huo Zhijing, her eyes already calm.
Such a sudden turn of events would shock anyone, and Ning Yao was no exception.
Huo Zhijing nodded, then made a gentlemanly 'please' gesture.
The two parties involved had recovered from their emotions, but Huo Muxi was a little dazed and mechanically followed Ning Yao.
What are Ning Yao and her third uncle talking about? She can't understand a word they say. The two of them look like old friends who haven't seen each other for a long time.
Realizing this, Huo Muxi was still happy. If her third uncle could improve his relationship with Ning Yao, things would go more smoothly for her and Ning Chen.
Huo Muxi followed Ning Yao even more diligently, introducing her to many shops along the way.
Ning Yao eventually bought a top-quality polygonal-cut orange diamond from the Sonora Desert and gave it to Huo Muxi as a gift.
This crystal-clear orange diamond is a natural, hexagonal cut. Ning Yao knows its value; she knows that even if she buys it for three times its market value, she will not lose out, and it will definitely appreciate in value over time.
However, Huo Muxi didn't have that discerning eye. She only saw that Ning Yao bought it at a high price and then gave it to her.
The moment Huo Muxi received the orange diamond, tears almost welled up in her eyes, which quickly filled with tears.
This thing is very expensive, especially since it's being sold on the black market, where the price has been more than doubled.
But Ning Yao didn't even blink. Seeing that she liked it, she simply took out her black card and swiped the card...
Huo Muxi was truly touched!
So, could she take this as a betrothal gift from Ning Chen's mother?
It must be a betrothal gift. Such a precious orange diamond, could it just be a simple thank-you gift for her accompanying him to the black market?
Huo Muxi sniffed, her voice trembling with tears: "Mother-in-law, I really like this gift. I will cherish it and treat Achen even better. I will definitely not let you down!"
Upon hearing this, Ning Yao suddenly raised her eyebrows, a strange emotion surging wildly in her eyes: "???"
She felt she should give Huo Muxi a small gift to express her gratitude for the long time Huo Muxi had spent with her.
But Huo Muxi seems to have misunderstood something...
Otherwise, why would her eyes be so excited, and why would she call herself "mother-in-law" again?
Ning Yao felt it necessary to explain the purpose of giving the Desert Orange Diamond. She cleared her throat and said slowly, "I apologize for taking up Miss Huo's time. This gift is just to express my feelings. I hope Miss Huo will not have any other misunderstandings."
"By the way, don't be fooled by the high price you paid now, which is almost three times the market value. This Sonora Desert Orange Diamond will definitely appreciate in value in the future, so Miss Huo will only make a profit."
Huo Muxi was even more moved. It turned out that Ning Yao had already made plans for her future. This orange diamond was truly precious!
"Yes, yes, I understand your intention... Mother-in-law, I love you!"
"???" Why do they still call her "mother-in-law"? Did she not explain something clearly enough?
Ning Yao opened her lips, but couldn't utter a single word. Caught off guard, she was suddenly embraced by Huo Muxi.
