Chapter 100
Ye Wenyin watched Gu Zhihan go to the inner hall.
The inner hall was not an ordinary place.
Mr. Gu had been doing business in Hong Kong for many years, and all kinds of people had to give him face. A special private banquet table was set up in the inner hall. Those who could sit at that table were naturally extraordinary people. It can be said that it brought together important people in Hong Kong politics and business. For
such a banquet table, not to mention Gu Zhihan's grandson, even Gu Zhihan's father's generation had to choose those who had a promising family to have a chance to sit at that table.
Ye Wenyin naturally understood, for example, in this arrangement, only two people from Ye Lixuan's generation could sit at that banquet table, one was Ye Lizhen, who now controls the family business, and the other was Ye Lixuan.
Ye Lixuan is naturally inferior to other uncles in the family, but it is because of his "legitimate" status and the face of academic masters. Businessmen care about these things and pay attention to what they lack.
And Ye Wenyin feels relieved that Gu Zhihan's father can sit at that table.
Gu Zhihan's father has a bright future in the Gu family. Now he has agreed to her marriage with Gu Zhihan, so she has nothing to worry about.
Even if Gu Zhihan's mother objects, so what? She understands that in such a family, Gu Zhihan's mother's opinions are actually insignificant and she can ignore them.
After she marries, she will naturally try to win over the heart of this mother-in-law. Even if she can't win, she can still make Gu Zhihan obedient.
At this time, Gu Zhihan went to the inner hall and happened to see his father Gu Shili. He told Gu Shili about this.
Gu Shili was also shocked: "You actually-"
He sighed: "How can you do this, you are too tactless!"
She is actually pregnant!
Gu Zhihan hung his head: "Dad, there is nothing we can do about it. Anyway, she is pregnant with our Gu family's flesh and blood now. What can we do? We can't let our Gu family's flesh and blood wander outside, right? Don't we have to find a way to marry her? If you don't tell her today, she will probably have an abortion. After all, she is a lady of the Ye family, and she has to save face."
Abortion...
Gu Shili took a deep breath and almost wanted to say, if you want to have an abortion, then have an abortion!
Who are you threatening!
But looking at his son's anxious look, he couldn't bear it and sighed, "Okay, I'll mention it to your grandfather today, in front of Grandpa Ye, and at least make this matter public, so you can marry her."
Gu Zhihan was naturally happy to hear this, and nodded repeatedly, "Daddy, my mother is here too. She has never liked Wen Yin, you can't let her know. At least wait until grandpa and grandpa Ye agree, and then tell her. This way she won't be able to object."
Gu Shili nodded helplessly, "Okay, okay, I got it."
**********
For a while, Gu Shizhang accompanied Ye Tianhui to the VIP room. Ye Tianhui knew several people present, and the two of them stepped forward to say hello.
As for Ye Tianhui, they didn't care. After all, they were the grandchildren of Mr. Gu. Everyone had met them recently and had explained everything to them. So they didn't need to be too polite. However, when they saw Gu Shizhang, everyone's eyes lit up.
You have to know that Gu Shizhang's economic influence is not in Hong Kong, but in Europe and America. His recent big spending in the UK has attracted a lot of attention. It is said that he was invited to attend the banquet of the British royal family a few days ago because of this big spending. Such a person is naturally the object that everyone must curry favor with - this is also one of the reasons why Mr. Gu is firmly in the first seat among the celebrities in Hong Kong. He has a promising son.
At once, everyone stood up. The government official, Mr. Lu, even came forward and shook Gu Shizhang's hand, as if he was very friendly and familiar with him. He called him Shizhang and asked him to take a seat.
He then turned around and smiled at Mr. Gu and said, "Mr. Gu, Shizhang is here, why didn't you mention him? We are sorry for not treating him well."
So, under the invitation of everyone, Gu Shizhang and Ye Tianhui sat down.
However, after they sat down, everyone found something wrong. According to common etiquette, Ye Tianhui is the grandson of Mr. Ye, so he should sit under Mr. Ye's son, Ye Lizhen. Gu Shizhang is Mr. Gu's son, and his status is relatively high. He should be of the same generation as his brother Gu Shili and Mr. Ye's son, Ye Lizhen, and should sit next to them.
In such an occasion where many bigwigs gather, such details should be paid special attention to.
But now the two of them are sitting together. Seeing this scene, everyone is inevitably surprised, but at the same time, they think that maybe they are just sitting casually. After all, Gu Shizhang has been abroad for many years, so he may not pay much attention to these things, so they don't think much about it.
At this time, Grandpa Gu said, "By the way, everyone, there is a big happy event in our family recently. I forgot to tell you."
Everyone asked immediately, "What is this happy event?"
Grandpa Gu smiled and said, "As for our Shi Zhang, you all know that he has always been lawless. I can't control him. Sometimes when I think about it, I feel that it's better to have this son than to have him. I don't expect him to get married. "He has a son."
Mr. Lu said hurriedly when he heard it, "No, no, Shi Zhang is a dragon among men. If we talk about the people present here, which son can compare with him?" Even Meng Baohui said with a smile, "If we had a son like this, we would have been secretly happy a long time ago." When everyone praised him like this, Mr. Gu was naturally happy. Mr. Ye next to him was also very proud of thinking that this would be his grandson-in-law. This time he invited everyone to come, one to plan his birthday banquet, and the other to celebrate his entry into the Jockey Committee. But after he entered the Jockey Committee, how much role he could play and how much weight he would have, all of this was unknown. He naturally wanted to strengthen his own voice, and strengthening his voice, betting on the Gu family's vote, or even borrowing Gu Shizhang's influence, was crucial. Today, Gu Shizhang has great economic influence in Europe and the United States, and has deep connections. This is also the target that the Hong Kong government is trying hard to win over. In this case, if Gu Shizhang becomes his grandson-in-law, his status in the underworld will naturally be greatly improved. So when he heard people complimenting Gu Shizhang, he was naturally very satisfied in his heart, but he still had a calm smile on his face, not showing any. Meng Baohui beside him asked with a smile: "Just now, Mr. Gu said there was a big event. What kind of happy event is it? Could it be that Shi Zhang is about to get married?" Everyone asked immediately after hearing this. Mr. Gu smiled and said, "Now our Shi Zhang finally has a girlfriend and is in love. He is at least a little more human." He sighed with satisfaction: "In other words, there is finally a woman who can control him!"
Everyone was naturally surprised when they heard this: "Congratulations, this is great news. May I ask which family's daughter is she?"
Old Master Gu smiled and said: "She is far away in the sky, but she is right in front of us!"
Old Master Ye also laughed a few times when he heard this.
At this time, Gu Shizhang smiled and raised his hand, and implicitly held Ye Tianhui's hand, and then said: "Tianhui and I knew each other earlier. We met because of horse racing. We gradually became familiar with each other over time, and we are currently dating."
Huh?
Everyone was surprised.
After all, Gu Shizhang is the son of Old Master Gu, and Ye Tianhui is the granddaughter of Old Master Ye. The two are a generation apart!
But everyone thought, it's not a big deal, they are close in age and they are a perfect match, what's wrong with that?
Everyone immediately congratulated them and praised them, praising Gu Shizhang for his youth and talent, praising Ye Tianhui for her ability, saying that they are a perfect match, and they are made for each other, which made the two old men, Ye and Gu, smile. Gu Shili,
who was standing by, was shocked when he heard this. You know, he was going to mention his son's love affair with Ye Wenyin, and he didn't agree with it, but his son said that today, and it sounded like Ye Wenyin was pregnant, so he had to bite the bullet and mention it as soon as possible.
Now Gu Shizhang is actually with Ye Tianhui. The two of them suddenly announced the news. If he mentions his son again, it will be inappropriate.
After all, Ye Tianhui and Ye Wenyin are of the same generation. Now two girls from the Ye family are going to marry into the Gu family, and marry uncle and nephew. If it is made public, won’t it make people laugh?
Moreover, he also knows his father’s thoughts. His brother is a bohemian character. How can ordinary people restrain him? Now that they are finally in love, he naturally can’t say anything to hinder him.
He is about 20 years older than Gu Shizhang. He also watched Gu Shizhang grow up and loves this brother very much.
He thought about this matter. After all, Ye Wenyin was not the daughter of the Ye family. Now that she was pregnant, he could only keep it to himself. When the incident was over, he could let Ye Wenyin change her name and then enter the Ye family.
Or considering various factors, maybe she could only be raised outside?
While thinking about this, he heard his father laughing and said, "Speaking of which, I suffered a great loss in this matter. I was a generation inferior to Mr. Gu for nothing. Look, he was laughing so proudly!"
Mr. Ye laughed, "How can I not laugh when I have a grandson-in-law like Shi Zhang? I can be happy in my dreams at night!"
Mr. Gu laughed and said, "Speaking of which, our Shi Zhang is really good at vision. Tianhui is a capable child, especially capable, and beautiful!" Mr.
Ye: "That's right, Mr. Gu "Old man, I am not bragging. Now our Ye family has some achievements in horse racing, which is all managed by Tianhui. Among the many grandchildren of our Ye family, the most outstanding one is our Tianhui."
Mr. Feng beside him also echoed, "That's right, Tianhui picked the horse and the jockey, they are all cash cows, the future is promising!"
Ye Tianhui holds the 30-year contract of Lin Jianquan and Chen Zongwan, which is almost bound for a lifetime, and can be said to be the cash cow of the Ye family.
For a while, the scene was lively, the two old men came and went to flatter each other, and naturally, others also praised them, and asked when they could drink the wedding wine of the two young people.
When Grandpa Gu heard this, his eyes sparkled and he looked at Gu Shizhang, obviously looking forward to it.
Gu Shizhang smiled and said, "We are still young, so there is no rush for now."
Grandpa Gu was a little disappointed: "Yeah, let's wait another two years."
He certainly understood that Gu Shizhang himself was 25 years old and probably wanted to get married, but Ye Tianhui was only 20 years old after the Chinese New Year, so maybe she didn't want to get married too early?
It's okay, we are young people, so let's just date first.
*********
After Gu Zhihan talked to his father, he was actually worried. Now he found an opportunity, secretly went to the inner room, listened to the conversation there, and saw if his father had mentioned it to the two old people.
Across the kumquat tree, he heard Mr. Ye laughing and saying, "Old Gu, don't look at my granddaughter who grew up in the mainland and whose parents are not around, but she is really good-looking. In terms of appearance, courage, and ability, she is as good as any man. You will be very lucky if such a good granddaughter of mine marries into your family in the future!"
Gu Zhihan was shocked when he heard this.
What does that mean?
He quickly looked inside through the kumquat tree, but saw that the table was full of politicians and business tycoons, all of whom were old men. The only younger ones were Ye Lixuan and his uncle Gu Shizhang.
Even his father was not here!
He complained in his heart, what was going on, where was his father? Shouldn't his father take the opportunity to bring it up? He wants to marry Ye Wenyin, not Ye Tianhui!
At this time, he heard his grandfather laughing and said, "Your Tianhui is not comparable to ordinary girls. If I look at the whole Hong Kong, there is no one who can compare to her. If a girl like her marries into our family, I will laugh out loud in my dreams at night!"
Gu Zhihan could hardly believe it, and gritted his teeth for a while. Why did he suddenly let Ye Tianhui marry him again? What was this? How could this be possible!
He was worried there, and suddenly, someone patted his shoulder.
He looked over in surprise, but it was his father Gu Shili.
When Gu Shili saw his son, he frowned immediately: "I'm afraid that your relationship with Wen Yin is not going to work out. You can't marry Wen Yin. This matter must be discussed again."
When these words came out, it was like a bolt from the blue: "Dad, didn't you agree to tell me? What do you mean? I saw grandpa and the others mentioned Ye Tianhui. What does it have to do with her? On what basis?"
When Gu Shili heard his son say this, his face changed slightly, and he quickly looked around. There was already a customer over there who was leaning over to look at him. He was a friend from the business world.
He didn't have time to talk to his son in detail, so he just said, "Don't talk nonsense, go back to your seat first, I'll talk to you in detail later, hurry back, and talk about your thoughts later!"
Gu Zhihan pulled his father: "Dad, what do you mean, why is Ye Tianhui going to marry our family?"
Gu Shili glanced at his son: "It's not decided yet, don't worry about it for now, and don't mention your matter with Wen Yin for now."
After saying that, he hurried over to say hello to the friend.
Gu Zhihan saw someone coming, and he didn't want to disturb his seat, so he had to leave quickly. However, walking in the corridor, he felt mixed emotions in his heart and didn't know what to do.
What does it mean, Ye Tianhui is suddenly going to marry him?
He recalled that the other brothers in the family actually had girlfriends, or their ages were not suitable. If Ye Tianhui had to marry into the Gu family, then he was the only one left.
But -
he had already promised to marry Ye Wenyin!
Gu Zhihan felt very uncomfortable and suffocated.
He thought, she had clearly rejected him before and was very disdainful of him, why is she suddenly like this now?
Has she changed her mind?
Why is she so fickle, one moment this and the other moment that!
If she had said that she was interested in him earlier, how could he and Ye Wenyin have come to this day!
But now, he and Ye Wenyin have already had a close relationship, and Ye Wenyin is pregnant with his child, he dare not give up.
Gu Zhihan felt very uncomfortable.
He gritted his teeth and closed his eyes with difficulty.
He thought, in fact, he still liked Ye Tianhui, but it was too late, too late, and he couldn't turn back on this road.
He thought of all the things he had with Ye Wenyin, and his heart was filled with bitterness for a moment, as if it was a dream in a trance
. If she hadn't been so heartless, if she had given him hope once, he wouldn't have gotten together with Ye Wenyin when he was drunk!
At the same time, he thought, this Ye Tianhui is really hateful, fickle, unpredictable, how could there be such a woman! He
really hates her!
He thought about going over to ask Ye Tianhui, to confirm, to see what she thinks, maybe he misunderstood, in fact, all this was not her original intention?
Thinking of this, he happened to see Ye Tianhui and his own mother walking over, his mother actually holding Ye Tianhui's hand, looking quite intimate.
He frowned for a moment, thinking that Ye Tianhui was really scheming!
His mother didn't like Ye Wenyin, but she was so good that she took advantage of the opportunity and tried to please his mother.
He frowned and walked over. When he got closer, he happened to hear his mother laughing and said, "Your aunt and I have always been good friends. Who would have thought that her niece would marry into our family? This is a closer relationship. You can keep me company in the future."
Gu Zhihan was stunned. Is this already settled? Just make a decision first and ask for permission later, and no one cares about his opinion?
At this time, Gu Zhihan's mother saw Gu Zhihan and frowned when she saw his silly look: "Why are you standing here like an idiot? Look at you--"
Gu Zhihan took a deep breath.
In front of his mother, no matter how many complaints he had, he had to endure it and went up to greet Aunt Ye Tianhui.
As she said this, because it was almost time to cut the cake, Gu's mother had friends to meet, so she had to go first, so Ye Tianhui went over to the group of Ye sisters to cut the cake later.
Gu Zhihan watched coldly from the side, feeling extremely hateful.
Ye Tianhui noticed the look in Gu Zhihan's eyes when he looked at her, and inexplicably, she found it funny.
But thinking that this was Gu Shizhang's nephew, forget it, just a junior, no need to pay attention!
After Ye Tianhui talked to a few sisters for a while, she went to the side to get some food, but she saw Ye Wenyin coming towards her.
Ye Wenyin just listened to what Gu Zhihan and Gu Shili said, and she felt relieved.
After that, she quietly went to the vicinity and heard some congratulations from inside, which showed that everyone agreed.
It's done!
At that time, she was naturally very confident, but now that she saw Ye Tianhui, the feeling was different.
That was looking down on her, which was something she was not used to.
She married into the Gu family and became the daughter-in-law of the Gu family. From then on, her status was different.
She looked at Ye Tianhui and said with a smile, "You may not know?"
Ye Tianhui: "What?"
Ye Wenyin then announced, "I can tell you that I am in love with Gu Zhihan now. We will announce our relationship today. I will marry into the Gu family in the future. When we get married, I will be the Gu family's legitimate daughter-in-law. From now on, the Ye family will always treat me as a rich lady, and grandpa will always treat me as his granddaughter. Even if dad doesn't like me, so what? He still has to recognize me, and it's not up to him!"
Ye Tianhui: "..."
She looked at Ye Wenyin in surprise: "Are you sure you are not sleepwalking?"
What are you talking about?
Ye Wenyin ignored her: "Don't think that you have become the eldest daughter of the Ye family just because you put on a gorgeous and fashionable dress. Your vision and thinking will always be that of a northern girl from the mainland. You can only hang out with a few horses and those rough men."
Ye Tianhui frowned, becoming more and more confused. What is this crazy?
Ye Wenyin: "Tianhui, I actually sympathize with you. You don't understand the rules of the Hong Kong upper class society at all, so no matter how hard you try, you are just a pawn."
Ye Tianhui had no expression on her face. She could only watch her perform.
Ye Wenyin: "Isn't it? Don't you even understand this?"
Ye Tianhui thought for a moment and finally got back to the topic. She said with some difficulty: "I just didn't expect... Don't you think you are not a chess piece? Who is not a chess piece?"
Ye Wenyin raised her head slightly: "If I have to be a chess piece, I will be the most important one. You bury your head in the stable and hang out with those rough men. You will never Understand, how did you lose the qualifications you originally had? Do you think I am not professional enough? Do you think I am not as skilled as others? In fact, you don’t understand at all.”
Seeing this, Ye Tianhui said: “You understand, can you tell me?”
Ye Wenyin sneered: “I know you are mocking me in your heart. You think you have won everyone’s praise, thinking that you are capable and praising you for being different from many Hong Kong daughters, but I want to tell you that Let me tell you, others are just exaggerating, praising you highly. In fact, in the end, others all marry into good families, and everyone has a good place to go—"
Her eyes slowly scanned Ye Tianhui up and down, and then said: "In fact, no wealthy family would want a daughter-in-law like you. You are destined to be alone and unable to get married. In the end, you can only find someone with no wealth and no background. But I am different, because I am familiar with the rules of this world, and I know what kind of chess piece I am?"
She smiled and said calmly and elegantly: "I will always be beautiful and elegant. I will marry into a wealthy family, take care of my husband and children, and I don’t need to do anything. I just need to dress elegantly and appropriately, and occasionally do charity work to show my love. That’s enough."
Ye Tianhui sighed: "Do you think you can get what you want? Don't be too sure about everything."
Ye Wenyin: "Oh?"
Ye Tianhui smiled and said: "You put all your hopes on marrying into the Gu family. Isn't it a bit too much? After all, whether you can marry into the Gu family is uncertain."
Who knew that as soon as she finished speaking, she heard a voice saying: "She can't marry into the Gu family, can you?"
Ye Tianhui looked over and saw Gu Zhihan, who had a gloomy look on his face.
Ye Tianhui's eyes were indifferent and she didn't bother to pay attention to him.
After all, this is Gu Shizhang's nephew. Since she talked to Gu Shizhang, she, as an elder, should be more tolerant and not bother with him.
Unexpectedly, Gu Zhihan looked at Ye Tianhui coldly: "What are you doing?"
Ye Tianhui: "What?"
Gu Zhihan looked at Ye Tianhui who seemed to be fine, and gritted his teeth and said: "What do you mean? You said such nasty words to me at the beginning, but now you agree, you actually go to please my mother, you are really good, you are so scheming!"
Ye Wenyin next to her was shocked and looked at Ye Tianhui in confusion.
Gu Zhihan was extremely amused: "Do you think I will marry you if you please my mom? You can marry into our family. I tell you, Ye Tianhui, you are dreaming! How shameless are you?"
Ye Tianhui was surprised: "Gu Zhihan, what do you mean? Do you know what you are talking about?"
Gu Zhihan questioned: "Do you think I don't know? You want to marry into our family, I tell you, you are dreaming!"
At this time, he happened to see his dad, his mom, and several elders from the Ye and Gu families walking here.
Anyway, there were no outsiders, so he went crazy today for them to see!
He pointed at Ye Tianhui angrily: "You are a deep-minded, sinister and cunning person. You have been bullying Wenyin in various ways, but I can tell you that I will protect her from now on, and I will never allow you to bully her like this!"
As he said that, he pulled Ye Wenyin over and held her hand tightly: "I declare that I only love Wenyin, and I want to marry Wenyin! I will never marry a woman like you, you... "You northern girl, just give up, how could I like you!"
Ye Tianhui was very surprised: "Did I, did I say I would marry you?"
Gu Zhihan was extremely amused: "That's perfect, I just want to emphasize to you, solemnly tell you, you will never marry into the Gu family in this life!"
At this time, a voice was heard saying: "Zhihan, what are you doing?"
Gu Zhihan looked over in surprise, it turned out to be Gu Shizhang.
He was wearing a royal blue suit, looking generous and elegant, slender and tall, a rare solemnity.
At this time, Gu Shizhang was looking at him and asked in a calm voice: "What are you talking about?"
