The Rise of the Ranch King

Chapter 82 82. The transformation of old Hans

"Jasmine, where did you go last night? Don't tell me. At Teresa's house, I called Dr. Dedmon and you were not there. And why did you turn off the phone? Answer me now."

Hans Grando, who was sitting on the sofa, looked very angry and was questioning his daughter who stayed out all night.

Sitting next to her was her mother, Susan, who seemed to have stayed up all night because of her daughter's "disappearance."

"I was with Lin Feng all night."

Jasmine was very candid.

Hans didn't expect his daughter to be so frank and was speechless for a moment.

Susan caressed her husband's hand and looked at her daughter tenderly, "Jazmine, no matter where you go, you should tell us."

Jasmine: "I know my dad doesn't want to know, but I love him, so I didn't tell you."

Hans stood up immediately, "Little girl, don't you think I should know?"

"He's a good guy."

"He's the one who made my daughter lie twice, and I did it for your own good!"

"Shouldn't it be up to me to decide what kind of person he is? You don't even know him!"

Seeing that the quarrel between father and daughter became more and more fierce, Susan immediately pulled Jasmine away when she saw this.

But Jasmine still stood there, tears streaming down her face instantly.

Hans stood up and softened his tone, "Very good, my daughter has grown up. If that brat can't win the game today, let's see how I deal with him."

"Also let me see how much he loves you, preferably like you say he does."

Jasmine knew that her father had compromised, at least for now.

"Go get ready, we're going to leave soon."

After Jasmine went upstairs, Susan came over to straighten her husband's collar.

"We were younger than them when we were together. Do you think there were no friends to remind me to be wary of you? Do you think they didn't say anything bad about you?"

Susan continued: "Just like you did with Lin, but I don't judge you by listening to anyone's guesses about you. What I see is your character."

Hans shook his head, "But that boy made his daughter lie to me. He didn't even dare to take Jasmine away in front of me. He kidnapped my daughter in the middle of the night and stayed away all night. This is not the responsibility a man should have. "

"That's because he's afraid of you. Everyone in Riverdale knows how hot-tempered Hans Grando is."

"Am I that bad?"

Susan laughed and said, "That's not a bad thing."

Hans sat on the sofa again and sighed, "If he is serious about Jasmine, then have the courage to see me and stay with me at any time."

"Wait Susan, go talk to Jasmine. He hates me so much now." Hans said with a silly smile.

Susan kissed her husband and then went upstairs to her daughter's room.

"Tell me about your China boy."

Jasmine turned around and smiled, "A bit stupid...a bit stupid, but a good man."

"That night my hand was injured, and he kissed my hand directly. Mom, you can't imagine how careful he was."

"He made me feel safe and cared for. It didn't come from money or physical strength. It was a kind of spiritual strength."

Seeing her daughter being so protective, Susan knew that boy must be very good, just like when she fell in love with Hans Grando without hesitation.

Mom said: "I will tell your father this and let him know about that Chinese boy."

Later, the couple talked on the sofa.

After Susan relayed her daughter's words, Old Hans breathed a sigh of relief, "Maybe you are right, that boy is different, but he needs to prove himself in today's game."

At eight o'clock in the morning, two cars drove out from the Grando Ranch.

Jasmine drove her mother and Patricia. The car started, and Susan said: "Your father sat in the living room all night last night, waiting for you to come back. She only has you as a daughter, so try to understand."

"I know, Mom."

Jasmine is much calmer now.

Patricia, who was sitting in the back row, was eating a sandwich, "Don't forget your only little son, Mom, I love you and will never spend the night outside with a man."

Jasmine turned back, "You can't tell. Maybe one day you will come back with a bad man with an unshaven beard and kneel in front of your parents to make them happy."

Patricia spread her hands, "No, no, no, even if that day comes, I will still be the attacker."

Susan glanced at her younger son, signaling that he could shut up.

Half an hour later, Jasmine saw Lin Feng outside the only gym in town.

He came up and gave him a big hug, not caring that his father was standing not far behind and watching.

But Lin Feng was a little worried. Hans Grando had his arms crossed as if he was ready to rush over and punch him at any time.

However, he knew very well that at times like this, he had to express himself bravely, otherwise he would be looked down upon by the old cowboy.

"Hello, Mr. Grando, I am Lin Feng."

Lin Feng generously went over to greet Hans' family and shook hands with everyone.

"Young man, how are you preparing for the game?"

Hans smiled and patted him on the shoulder instead of shaking hands.

Lin Feng's eyes were firm, "I will win the championship, sir."

Hans said, "Where is your horse? Let me see."

When he arrived at the stables, Lin Feng saw Joey, who looked full of energy.

Hans knelt down and looked at Joey, "The Appaloosa hybrid is an ordinary riding horse. Are you sure it can outrun Bennett's five million horse?"

Lin Feng responded, "Mr. Grando, I think the horse's bloodline is only part of the equation, and the tacit understanding between the rider and the horse is the main factor that determines the competition."

Hans stood up, "Okay, I have a good thoroughbred horse, which is a descendant of the former Australian champion Sonic Cat, and I can lend it to you."

Lin Feng firmly refused. He knew how much Joey fit in with him now.

"Well, good luck to you, young man."

After saying that, Hans turned and left.

Jia Simin was surprised that her father did not say any harsh words. She happily blinked at Lin Feng and gave him a kiss.

"You will succeed, sir."

Lin Feng was encouraged, but there was something he didn't understand.

"Wait a minute, Mr. Grando, why are you willing to lend me the horse? Logically speaking, you should hope that I lose miserably." Lin Feng smiled and spread his hands.

Hans didn't look back, "I just don't want people to know that the daughter of the Grando family is dating a rookie who can't even ride a horse. At least my horse won't make you a joke."

"Thank you for your kindness, but I'm going to prove you wrong, sir."

Hans said nothing and just waved his hand.

Jasmine kissed Lin Feng again and told him to see him later.

She still has to work today, doing security checks at the gym.

The bull riding competition venue was temporarily transformed from the town's only open-air stadium. It was actually very simple. In addition to building bullpens around the venue, the bull riding competition venue was just to spread loess on the flat ground in the middle a few days in advance.

After pouring water, the soft loess turned into solid hard soil after a few cold nights. Finally, a thin layer of soft soil was spread on the surface and it was done.
