Upon hearing that this person knew who he was, Liu Fang raised an eyebrow in surprise, but did not refuse, and walked to the two of them.
The staff were very happy after taking the photos and thanked the two people excitedly.
Lin Leyao smiled, said goodbye to the staff, and went to the horse race with Liu Fang.

Chapter 47
Xin Ying left work early in the afternoon and returned to the villa. After receiving the news that Lin Leyao wanted to stay out for dinner, she did not stay at home but went back to the Xin residence.
Although Mr. Xin had many children, only Mr. Xin Guangjin and Mrs. Xin Dai Jiaozhi lived in the old house for most of the year.
Xin Ying's sudden return without prior notice surprised Xin Guangjin, who happily ordered the kitchen to prepare more dishes.
Dai Jiaozhi has been unwilling to sit at the table for meals for more than a decade. Except for very important guests, she usually eats in her room.
That evening, at the Xin family's old house, Xin Ying and Xin Guangjin were having dinner together.
Just as he finished eating and put down his chopsticks, Xu Hong heard the noise and rushed over.
The Xu residence and the Xin residence were very close, and the two families had always maintained contact. In addition, Xu Hong and Xin Ying were good friends, and Xin Guangjin had always been kind and approachable to Xu Hong.
The two didn't go to the room to whisper to each other, but instead nestled on the sofa in the Xin residence, chatting idly.
Xu Hong cracked sunflower seeds and said, "I've done everything you asked me to do."
Xin Ying looked up, shifting her gaze from her phone to Xu Hong, and asked, "Did you make this yourself?"
"How could that be!" Xu Hong denied it with an exaggerated expression.
"It was my old man who did it."
Xin Ying said, "Didn't Grandpa Xu ask you why?"
Xu Hong replied, "You didn't even tell me why I started Canghaiyun Technology, so what reason do I have to tell Grandpa? When I told Grandpa a while ago, I said I didn't like the boss of this company and asked him to deal with it. My grandpa thought I was being bullied outside, so he's been really ruthless towards this company! I bet the CEO of Canghaiyun Technology has been so worried that he can't sleep at all lately."
After saying all that in one breath, Xu Hongchong raised his chin at Xin Ying and said smugly, "It seems that your Huanning Group's scope of development is still too narrow. If you want to deal with this company, you'll have to have my family step in."
Xin Ying was too lazy to refute, and said, "This company does have a lot of overlap with your company's development areas."
"So what are you planning to do now? Are you really going to acquire this company?"
"No need, just teach them a lesson."
Xu Hong gave an OK sign: "I'll go back and tell my grandpa."
After they finished talking, Xu Hong noticed Xin Ying constantly checking her phone and asked, puzzled, "Who are you waiting for a message from? How many times have you checked your phone tonight?"
Xin Ying didn't speak. She looked down at her phone screen, and just then the screen, which had gone dark, lit up again.
Xin Ying opened the message and saw that Lin Leyao had replied, saying that she had run into someone she knew and would be back later.
After reading, Xin Ying put her phone aside and stopped looking at it frequently as before.
Seeing this, Xu Hong twitched the corner of his mouth, leaned close to Xin Ying, and whispered, "Haven't seen you in a long time, are you excited? You look pale and restless. Have you been tired these past few days and are you a little weak?"
As she spoke, Xu Hong touched Xin Ying's waist and said, "Your kidneys aren't doing so well either. How about I order you a hundred skewers of grilled kidneys to help you recover?"
Xin Ying slapped Xu Hong's hand away and coldly cursed, "Don't talk nonsense."
"Tsk tsk tsk."
Xu Hong curled her lips and narrowed her eyes, leaving the Xin residence with a wicked grin.
After Xu Hong left, Xin Ying didn't stay long and returned to her villa.
Lin Leyao hadn't returned yet, so Xin Ying went to the study to handle some work.
In the quiet study, Xin Ying, wearing silver-rimmed glasses, was intently looking at the documents on her desk.
Suddenly, a piercing bell rang out.
Xin Ying's phone rang, so she put down her documents and picked up her phone.
It wasn't Lin Leyao who made the call, but Xu Hong.
Xin Ying clicked to answer, and was about to hear an unfamiliar female voice coming from the phone.
"Hello, are you Xu Hong's friend?"
"I am."
"Ms. Xu had a car accident while racing in Wanlong Mountain. Could you please come to Yihe Hospital?"
"Okay, I'm coming right away!"
Xin Ying immediately got up, grabbed her coat, went out, and drove at high speed to Yihe Hospital.
Just two hours ago, Xu Hong was sitting and chatting with me. How come she got into a car accident so soon after I stopped seeing her?
It was a car accident during a race!
This guy hasn't raced in ten years, why is he suddenly thinking about racing again tonight?!
Wanlong Mountain and the suburbs where Lin Leyao is currently located are in completely opposite directions. There is a racetrack on Wanlong Mountain that frequently hosts races of all sizes. When Xu Hong was a teenager, she spent almost every day at the racetrack. However, after Bai Xin returned from abroad, Xu Hong's passion for racing was drawn to Bai Xin, and she almost stopped racing altogether. Later, for some unknown reason, Xu Hong completely stopped participating in racing altogether.
It's been over ten years, and I never expected Xu Hong to have an accident at the racetrack today.
And why did the hospital call her first instead of Bai Xin? Xin Ying pursed her lips helplessly, feeling like she was starting to understand.
It took Xin Ying more than an hour to drive to Yihe Hospital, where she saw Xu Hong, who had already undergone surgery, lying in her hospital bed.
The girl is still under anesthesia and is still fast asleep.
Xin Ying carefully examined Xu Hong and saw that she only had casts on her arms and legs and had bumped her forehead, but there were no other problems, so she slowly felt relieved.
Xin Ying was quickly called over by the attending physician. After carefully understanding Xu Hong's condition, Xin Ying returned to the ward, where Xu Hong had already regained consciousness.
Upon seeing Xin Ying, Xu Hong, lying on the hospital bed, grinned and said, "Why do you look so pale? I'm not dead yet."
Xin Ying ignored Xu Hong's joke and asked coldly, "How did you get into a car accident? Did you do it on purpose?"
Xu Hong exclaimed and immediately denied it: "How could that be? I'm not stupid. I couldn't actually make myself look like that with a self-inflicted injury!"
Seeing that Xu Hong's expression seemed genuine, Xin Ying's expression softened, and she asked, "The doctor said you kept vomiting when you were brought to the hospital. Are you hungry now? Do you want me to buy you something to eat?"
"No need, I have a mild concussion and I'm dizzy and nauseous, so I can't eat."
Xin Ying nodded: "Then you should sleep for a while, and eat after you wake up."
"Um."
Xu Hong lay in bed, but she wasn't sleepy at all. She just lay there, and finally she couldn't help but reach out and touch her phone on the bedside table next to her.
Seeing her movement, Xin Ying pressed Xu Hong's hand down.
After several attempts, Xu Hong couldn't help but say, "I really can't sleep."
Xin Ying gave a cold snort and asked, "Why did you have the doctor contact me? Where is Sister Bai?"
The smile that had been on Xu Hong's face visibly faded. She opened her mouth and finally said, "Sister Bai should have boarded the plane by now. She's leaving the country tonight."
"So you didn't contact her?" Xin Ying asked casually, then shifted her gaze from the magazine in her hand to Xu Hong on the hospital bed.
Then, her calm voice continued to echo in the room, and the next second, Xu Hong's eyes widened suddenly.
“But I told Sister Bai on my way to the hospital that you had been in a car accident.”
Upon hearing Xin Ying's words, Xu Hong's expression kept changing. She wanted to say something to Xin Ying, but she didn't know what to say to her.
After a few seconds of stunned silence, she suddenly closed her eyes, pulled the covers over herself, and pretended to be asleep.
Seeing that she suddenly became timid, Xin Ying couldn't help but chuckle softly.
Half an hour later, footsteps could be heard outside.
The next second, the ward door was pushed open, and Xin Ying called out to the person who came in: "Sister Bai".
The person in the hospital bed suddenly opened her eyes, but the next second she realized something and quickly closed them, lying quietly on the bed.
Bai Xin took off her mask, and Xin Ying glanced at her, noticing that Bai Xin's complexion wasn't much better than Xu Hong's after the car accident.
Bai Xin looked at Xu Hong, who was lying quietly on the hospital bed, and asked softly, "Is she asleep?"
Xin Ying glanced at the person on the hospital bed and then hummed in agreement.
Bai Xin walked to the bedside, lifted a corner of the quilt, and looked at Xu Hong sleeping soundly with her eyes closed.
Xu Hong makes some cute little movements when she's asleep, but having lived for so many years, she probably doesn't know what she looks like when she's asleep. That's why Bai Xin can tell at a glance that she's faking sleep.
Bai Xin stared at her face for a long time before finally looking away and asking, "Are you still going to pretend to be asleep?"
Xu Hong immediately opened her eyes.
Xu Hong was very happy when Bai Xin arrived.
Xin Ying sat on the sofa without making a sound, quietly playing on her phone, not wanting to disturb the young couple.
After an unknown amount of time, Xu Hong, who was still immersed in the joy of Bai Xin's arrival, gradually calmed down and noticed Xin Ying, who had been sitting blankly to her side.
After glancing at her several times, Xu Hong couldn't help but ask, "What's wrong? You look so grumpy. Are you being overwhelmed by the stench of our romance?"
Bai Xin gently patted her head: "Don't talk nonsense!"
Taking advantage of the situation, Xu Hong pretended to be injured, clutching her head and repeatedly yelling, "Ouch, ouch, my head hurts so much!"
Although Xu Hong's acting was terrible, Bai Xin was still frightened and quickly cupped Xu Hong's face to check if the wound had been hit.
At this moment, Xin Ying's mind was not on the two of them at all.
My phone notification bar just sent a Weibo post.
Upon seeing the name "Lin Leyao," Xin Ying clicked on it, and a group photo posted by a fan in the super topic immediately appeared before her eyes.
Although Lin Leyao was wearing a mask in the group photo, Xin Ying could still recognize her at a glance. The fans in the photo blurred their faces, while the other person's face was not covered at all; this person was Liu Fang.
