Chapter 110

Ye Lixuan accompanied Ye Tianhui to Yuen Long. Coincidentally, this road was exactly the one Ye Tianhui had walked on, from Yuen Long to the city.

Walking on this road again, Ye Tianhui couldn't help but feel a little emotional.

At that time, she had just arrived and knew nothing. Everything here was new, advanced, and even wealthy.

Now that she is used to the prosperity of the city, looking at Yuen Long with its endless farmland, she feels an inexplicable sense of familiarity and feels that this place is quiet and peaceful.

Ye Lixuan was also looking out the window. As he was looking, he suddenly said, "This suburban scenery reminds me of Beijing in the old days."

Ye Tianhui: "Yeah, me too. I wonder when I can go back and take a look."

Ye Lixuan looked sideways at her: "Do you want to go back?"

Ye Tianhui smiled: "After all, I miss it a little. Actually, now that I think about it, I lived a good life in those years. I had some childhood friends who played with me, picked up waste to sell, and went to the river to catch shrimps and fish."

Ye Lixuan smiled: "That sounds good. How are those childhood friends now? Are they all working?"

Ye Tianhui: "Some are soldiers, some went to the countryside as educated youth and didn't go back. Of course, some work in factories, some work in offices, and they do all kinds of things. Everyone is going their separate ways."

She leaned back comfortably on the leather seat: "I suddenly remembered that there was another person who wanted to date me, and he said he liked me."

Ye Lixuan was surprised: "Really? Then, what kind of person is he? Did you agree?"

Of course she didn't agree, otherwise Ye Tianhui wouldn't have come to Hong Kong, but Ye Lixuan still asked subconsciously.

Ye Tianhui smiled and said: "I said we should have a fight, and if you can beat me, then I will date you."

She sighed: "Of course he lost, how could he beat me!"

Ye Lixuan laughed out loud: "You just don't like him."

Ye Tianhui admitted: "Yes, he is not good-looking!"

Not only is he not good-looking, but he can't give her meat, so of course she is not happy.

Ye Lixuan sighed: "Actually, the key is still good-looking. You just like good-looking things."

Ye Tianhui: "Isn't it the same for men? Who doesn't like good-looking things? Of course I like them too. I like good-looking people and I also like generous people."

Ye Lixuan raised his eyebrows and thought of Gu Shizhang: "He has been very generous recently?"

Gu Shizhang has been very generous recently. He gave her a private island and some European properties. Of course, there are also properties in Hong Kong. In short, he stuffed everything into her.

That day, she said she didn't want it anymore, but he held her face and asked softly what was wrong, asking if she was angry, and then explained for a long time...

In short, he seemed to have no choice but to accept it!

Now, with Gu Shizhang's gifts, she has a considerable amount of assets under her name.

Ye Tianhui nodded: "Yes."

Ye Lixuan sighed: "He is just afraid that you will run away."

In fact, Master Gu mentioned it a few days ago, saying that although Ye Tianhui is young and not in a hurry to get married, they can actually get engaged first.

Ye Lixuan understood when he heard this. It was naturally Gu Shizhang who mentioned it, but he just asked Master Gu to speak.

He wanted to tie Ye Tianhui tightly, and now he has stuffed a lot of assets into her, and he wants to send himself over directly.

Ye Tianhui naturally understood: "There is a little bit of that meaning."

But she also admitted it. What else can she do? With Gu Shizhang around, she can't look down on other men.

Hearing this, Ye Lixuan sighed, "I have done two things recently."

Ye Tianhui: "What?"

Ye Lixuan: "I prepared a dowry for you, which should be quite generous."

Ye Tianhui was surprised: "I didn't say I was going to get married, why do you suddenly want to marry me off?"

Ye Lixuan smiled and said, "I'm not in a hurry for you to get married, I'm just preparing first."

Ye Tianhui: "...Okay."

In fact, she is certainly not short of money now. Not to mention anything else, the shares of Sha Tin are also rising, and she herself has quite a fortune.

Ye Lixuan: "Look, besides the dowry, there are other things. My shares in the Ye family will all be yours in the future. I have asked the lawyer to prepare a will in advance."

Ye Tianhui was more and more surprised. She tilted her head to look at Ye Lixuan and became worried: "Daddy, you are not terminally ill, are you? Don't scare me..."

Ye Lixuan looked at her worried look and laughed: "It's not easy for me, and finally you worry about me."

Ye Tianhui didn't understand: "You... What on earth do you want to do?"

Ye Lixuan restrained his smile and said seriously: "Don't think too much. I feel that he obviously wants to buy you and smother you with money, for fear that you will run away. I just want to tell you that except for your own assets, everything here will be yours in the future. You don't have to be tempted by him. If you like, you can be together. I naturally have no objection, but if you don't like it, you can back off at any time. You don't have to worry about anything."

Ye Tianhui was surprised to hear this.

She tilted her head and silently looked at Ye Lixuan's profile. He had a straight nose, wore gold-rimmed glasses, and his facial features were sparse and gentle.

This was completely different from his general father in his previous life.

But she always inadvertently felt a similar aura to her general father.

She understood what he meant.

He used to be against Gu Shizhang and didn't like him, but now he accepts it, but still wants to give her a choice, the right to choose freely.

Even when facing the powerful Gu Shizhang, he will try to arm her, wanting her to have more confidence.

She chuckled, then raised her hands and hugged him.

Ye Lixuan's body stiffened slightly: "What's the matter?"

Ye Tianhui smiled: "Daddy, thank you, you are the best to me!"

Ye Lixuan was silent for a moment, then sighed: "It's just a little money-grubber. When I heard about the dowry, I immediately praised me."

Ye Tianhui let him go and laughed even more: "You said it all, what's yours is mine, dowry or not, it's all mine anyway!"

Ye Lixuan smiled: "You think very clearly."

As they talked, the two of them rushed to the village where Ye Tianhui had landed. Revisiting the old place, she naturally felt fresh. Some things that seemed strange and new at the time, after she had experienced all kinds of things in the big city, seemed old and common, but also a bit familiar.

They found the old lady very smoothly. When the old lady saw that the big man came to find her, she was so scared that she couldn't speak.

Ye Tianhui went over and explained the situation to her, but the old lady didn't dare to recognize her. She just shook her head and waved her hands. After Ye Tianhui explained, the old lady looked at her for a long time before reluctantly recognizing her: "It's you."

However, the old lady was very hesitant in front of Ye Tianhui at this time. It was obvious that she had never met such a wealthy family and was afraid.

Ye Tianhui didn't force herself to thank the old lady. She gave the old lady some expensive snacks and fruits, and gave her three thousand Hong Kong dollars as a thank you. The old lady was very surprised and thanked her again and again.

In fact, considering Ye Tianhui's financial resources, it was naturally a bit too little to come all the way here to give only 3,000 Hong Kong dollars. However, firstly, it was just a kind word of advice back then, which was not a great favor. Secondly, if he gave too much, the sudden wealth might bring trouble to the old lady.

These 3,000 Hong Kong dollars were not too much, but not too little. It was at least more than a month's salary for an ordinary person, and it was a great surprise for the old lady.

After saying goodbye to the old lady, Ye Lixuan wanted to go back to the city because he had an important meeting to attend, while Ye Tianhui wanted to hurry back to the racecourse. The two left separately.

After seeing Ye Lixuan off, when Ye Tianhui was about to get on the car, she saw a thin figure standing in front of her, wrapped in a scarf, standing under the banyan tree.

It was Zhou Wanlan.

She was looking in his direction, obviously waiting for him.

Ye Tianhui was busy with the reclamation in Shatin recently, and had not paid much attention to Zhou Wanlan, but she probably heard some news.

Knowing that Zhou Wanlan and the Ning family had a big fight, she also paid a price, but finally succeeded in the divorce.

Zhou Wanlan is now a free person, and there are not many people in her family, so she has a large share of her family's shares. Although her influence is not as strong as before, she is still worth a lot.

Zhou Wanlan suddenly appeared here, obviously she was waiting for her, which surprised Ye Tianhui.

She immediately ordered the driver to stop the car, got out and walked over.

This place is on the seaside, and the sea breeze is strong amid the sound of the waves, and the wind blows with a wet and salty breath.

She saw the wind blowing Zhou Wanlan's curly hair, gently patting her cashmere scarf and her red lips.

Ye Tianhui felt that Zhou Wanlan looked charming and beautiful like this.

This made her wonder why.

A beautiful and elegant woman, who had a marriage that was not satisfactory but acceptable, seemed to be satisfied with her life. She had been working hard to defend all of it, her identity, status, wealth, and reputation.

But suddenly one day, she gave up everything she had to pursue illusory love.

If it were me, what would I do?

At this time, Zhou Wanlan looked at Ye Tianhui and chuckled: "Miss Ye, I have something to say to you."

Ye Tianhui: "Well, go ahead."

Zhou Wanlan looked at Ye Tianhui in front of her and smiled: "Actually, I envy you very much because you have something I don't have." Ye

Tianhui: "Oh."

Zhou Wanlan said again: "You are younger than me and have a beautiful love."

She smiled bitterly: "Youth is something I once had, but love may be something I will never have."

Ye Tianhui looked at Zhou Wanlan silently. She thought she might just want to say something, so she said nothing and just listened quietly.

Zhou Wanlan: "I used to wonder why Shi Zhang likes you. I was not convinced and unwilling. In fact, I don't have any idea about him anymore. I just... wonder and don't understand."

Ye Tianhui looked at Zhou Wanlan. She felt that this was actually the bad nature of human beings. She couldn't get it and had never conquered it. If this man was originally heartless and would not fall in love with anyone, she would have accepted it.

But this man was not like that. He was moved by another woman, and she felt uncomfortable. She always felt like she had lost.

But she didn't expose her directly. At this point, she was able to come to her and say these things, which was considered to be opening her heart. There was no need to say it so clearly and hurt her.

Zhou Wanlan looked at Ye Tianhui: "But later I finally figured out why. You are different from most girls. You... I don't know how to describe you. You are full of energy. Sometimes you even seem to be glowing. Your light is enough to impress everyone. I think you are a very powerful person."

Ye Tianhui: "You have been here enjoying the sea breeze for a long time. Are you waiting for me like this just to praise me?"

Zhou Wanlan: "No, I won't ..." I want to thank you for praising you."

She chuckled: "Thank you for defeating Zhiming in an upright way. You gave him an excuse, an excuse to leave willingly and sincerely. I have known him for many years. He truly admires you and is grateful to you. I also thank you for giving him the last dignity." For

a jockey, the last dignity is not to have never failed. Failure is not a shame. After all, people are not gods and will eventually fail.

A jockey must always leave a straight back for the audience and hide the pain and hardship in the dark to endure alone.

Ke Zhiming's pride made him never want the world to know that he was a poor man who lost an eye.

Ye Tianhui: "Okay, I understand what you said, and I accept your gratitude."

She looked at Zhou Wanlan and smiled: "You just said that you envy me?"

Zhou Wanlan: "Yes, I think everyone will envy you, you have so many things that others don't have."

Ye Tianhui: "Then do you know why I came to Yuen Long?"

Zhou Wanlan shook her head, curious: "Why? I thought you were very busy recently?"

Ye Tianhui: "I swam here from the mainland, Basketball was prohibited, so I collected a lot of ping-pong balls and tied them to my body. I went into the sea when the tide was high. There were seven or eight people going into the sea with me. After I went into the sea, I saw their bodies. The red blood dyed the sea red. I swam into the sea in the bloody water. "

Zhou Wanlan was surprised. She knew Ye Tianhui's past, but she didn't take it seriously. Only when she heard Ye Tianhui say this did she realize that she had been walking between life and death.

Ye Tianhui continued: "I escaped the rain of bullets, but caught up with the storm and waves. "

She pointed to the sea in the distance. The wind blew, stirring up waves. In the distance, several fishing boats were tossing in the waves.

Ye Tianhui said, "Look, waves like this are just the most common waves, but those fishing boats all looked helpless and small. What I encountered was a violent storm in the middle of the night, with lightning and thunder, darkness, strong winds, and fishy waves. They came one after another, leaving no chance for me to breathe. I struggled with my own flesh and blood for a whole night before I had a chance to survive."

Zhou Wanlan was speechless for a moment. She stared blankly at the sea in the distance. The scene described by Ye Tianhui was beyond her imagination.

She can swim and likes swimming, but she always swims in a clean swimming pool to relieve her boredom and enjoy the comfortable feeling.

She couldn't imagine the scene described by Ye Tianhui.

Ye Tianhui: "I was almost in despair. I felt that I was swimming in a sea of ​​suffering. God didn't want me to live. I was tired, really tired, and I didn't have any strength at all. I thought I might as well give up. It would be easier to die in the sea than to live..."

Zhou Wanlan murmured: "Then what? Did someone save you?"

Ye Tianhui smiled: "How is it possible? No one saved me. At that time, in that sea area, taking a step back meant being shot. Taking a step forward meant being sent away, which was sneaky and shady. Who could come to save me?"

Zhou Wanlan suddenly realized her own naivety after hearing this.

Ye Tianhui: "I endured it by myself, and finally reached the sea in the early morning. After I reached the shore, there was a very kind old lady who showed me the way and advised me to go back to the mainland. Although it was just a few words, it was good enough for me at that time. I once said that if I had a good day, I would definitely repay her. I went to Shatin recently, and thinking of the past, I thought about coming to see that old lady."

Zhou Wanlan didn't know what to say for a while.

She really envied Ye Tianhui. She felt that Ye Tianhui had everything going for her, and had the love and favor of Gu Shizhang. She had everything she needed, and Gu Shizhang would give her whatever she needed.

But it was not easy for her. Her love and marriage were so bumpy. She devoted herself to the family business in the past. She suffered for so many years and suffered a lot.

But now when Ye Tianhui mentioned it, she suddenly realized that her misfortunes were actually based on having enough food and clothing, and even a luxurious life in a wealthy family. She had never worried about food, clothing, housing and transportation, let alone being in such a life-and-death situation. What

she was worried about were higher-level emotions and deeper needs, such as love, family business, asset depreciation, and loneliness in a secluded house.

She envied Ye Tianhui. In fact, everything Ye Tianhui had now was what she had fought for.

She was silent for a moment, and finally sighed: "Maybe I'm naive. I was born a young lady, and my life troubles are just those, which are different from yours."

Ye Tianhui: "I can understand that everyone has a different understanding of suffering, and naturally a different understanding of happiness. In fact, even if I no longer worry about survival and food and clothing, I will also have some other worries, such as my horse is pregnant with a foal, and whether my jockey is training seriously. It is impossible to have no worries in life. Whatever stage you stand on, you will have the vision and worries of that stage."

Zhou Wanlan smiled: "Yes, I agree, you are very insightful."

Ye Tianhui: "You asked me to talk today, not just to hear these, right?"

Zhou Wanlan said bitterly . He laughed: "Actually, I don't know. I just want to talk to you. For example, you are telling me these things now. These are all things I have never thought about."

Ye Tianhui looked at Zhou Wanlan and said: "Maybe you want to hear about Shi Zhang and me, right?"

Zhou Wanlan's expression moved: "Can I? If you want to talk, I am willing to listen."

Ye Tianhui: "Then I can tell you that we have known each other for a long time, for many years."

Zhou Wanlan was surprised: "Ah?"

Ye Tianhui: "At least before you met, we were very familiar friends."

Zhou Wanlan was a little unbelievable: "Is that so?"

After all, they knew each other when they were young. It turned out that Gu Shi Zhang was already very familiar with Ye Tianhui at that time?

She felt incredible and couldn't understand, but Ye Tianhui didn't seem to be lying. Ye

Tianhui smiled and said, "If you still have some regrets about the past, then I can tell you, it's not that you are not good enough, but because I have always been in his heart and he always remembers me, so he can't see anyone else in his heart."

Zhou Wanlan was at a loss: "It turns out to be like this..."

Ye Tianhui thought of the past, chuckled, and his eyes were full of memories: "A long time ago, he has always been good to me, always loved me, and I am always in his heart and eyes. Even if I don’t understand these, he has been waiting for me."

Zhou Wanlan became more and more confused.

She looked at Ye Tianhui, saw the tenderness between her eyebrows, and finally said: "I don't understand, but I believe what you said."

She took a deep breath: "Thank you, I am finally relieved."

Ye Tianhui: "Yes, you can let it go."

Zhou Wanlan: "Actually, I don't care too much now. I plan to go to the United States to find him. I will also have my own love. I think I can also have love. I don't need to envy others."

Ye Tianhui: "Then I wish you happiness."

****************

Ye Tianhui knew that if Gu Shizhang knew what she and Zhou Wanlan said, Gu Shizhang would definitely have some guesses, and it might even break the window paper between the two of them.

That day in front of the picture of the galloping horse he drew, she actually wanted to ask.

But she didn't have the courage.

Everything is beautiful now, life is so satisfying, love is so sweet, she doesn't want to take any risks, she doesn't have the courage to take that step.

But she still told Zhou Wanlan now.

She thought that she and Gu Shizhang, maybe in this life, they will never mention the last life, the two of them tacitly concealed their thoughts, and maintained the sweetness of this life together, until the day they grow old, they are willing to reveal their true feelings.

Of course, it is also possible that at some inadvertent moment, they suddenly know each other.

What will happen if they know?

A big party between the monarch and his subjects, holding hands and looking at each other in tears, reminiscing about the past years, or instantly returning to the gap between the monarch and his subjects in the previous life, questioning each other?

Ye Tianhui suppressed those thoughts.

She clearly understood that the heroic female general Ye Tianhui was dead.

She is that person, but not completely. If everything is revealed, she has no idea what role she should play in front of Gu Shizhang.

How could the reputation and dignity she had built up with her glorious military exploits turn into the tenderness she has now, and the sweet cuddling with him? She

even had such an intimate relationship with him.

That is a blasphemy to her past self.

Or in other words, with all the experiences in this life, she has walked a different path, which is completely different from her previous life.

She couldn't accept standing in front of Gu Shizhang with the title of her previous life.

This kind of entanglement and contradiction made her not want to think about it carefully, and leave everything to fate and time.

That day, Gu Shizhang seemed to mention it inadvertently, saying that Zhou Wanlan had left, and that she should go to find Ke Zhiming.

Ye Tianhui also mentioned Zhou Wanlan's visit to her. Gu Shizhang was surprised: "What did she tell you? Why did she come to you?"

Ye Tianhui: "I just mentioned her and said goodbye."

She didn't want to tell Gu Shizhang the details. Seeing this, Gu Shizhang didn't ask, but talked about further studies in the UK.

Gu Shizhang naturally agreed with Ye Tianhui and Ye Lixuan's plan. He was more proactive than Ye Lixuan in making arrangements. Now he has already found Ye Lixuan and asked about the progress.

Ye Lixuan is now indifferent to him. He accepted it and had no objection, but his attitude is just like that. Anyway, it's enough for the father-in-law to see his son-in-law.

However, since it is about his daughter, he also mentioned the next arrangement to him.

The two men hit it off and started planning their studies and itinerary. Before Ye Tianhui could figure out what was going on, the two men had already arranged everything for her.

Soon, they received a letter of recommendation from the British royal family and got a chance to study at a well-known century-old university, where they studied business management and horse racing management.

Ye Tianhui was very satisfied with the start of school. It was right after the Derby that she could go to England. It was a good free time and would not interfere with her work here.

Gu Shizhang was obviously very satisfied. He planned enthusiastically to accompany Ye Tianhui to compete in Hong Kong first, and then go to England with Ye Tianhui. It just so happened that he had some work to deal with. When he had some free time, the two of them could travel around Europe.

He was familiar with the area, so he could naturally take her to enjoy various things.

The two of them planned with great relish, and at this time the Derby finally started in full swing.

The Hong Kong Derby began in 1873. In fact, it followed the tradition of the Epsom Derby in the UK. Later, it gradually developed into a Hong Kong tradition and became an important prize in Hong Kong horse racing. It also became the supreme honor coveted by jockeys, horse trainers and horse owners.

Therefore, at the beginning of this year's Derby, the horse racing magazine and the TV station launched the slogan "Four years of glory, once in a lifetime".

The age of participation in horse racing actually varies slightly according to the different horse breeds in the northern and southern hemispheres, but among the horses under Ye Tianhui, only Hell King meets the age requirement, so everyone began to train Hell King with all their strength.

Hell King won the quarterly horse championship in last season's race and became famous in Hong Kong. He will participate in the Derby again this year, so he is naturally highly anticipated. Many horse fans are crazy about Hell King's situation.

Ye Tianhui also got information from certain channels, knowing that this time the Ning family, the Meng family, and several other families, even including several horse racing families from overseas, have set their sights on Hell King, determined to defeat Hell King, the Hong Kong Horse King.

Ye Tianhui probably also heard the news, and they even planned to unite and cooperate to form a siege against Hell King.

He who wears the crown must bear the weight, and the challenge facing Hell King is not small.

The only thing to be thankful for is that the weight of this Derby is uniformly regulated, and there is no need to give up the weight, but there is no need to pay any extra price for last year's Horse King.

As for riding Hell King, it is naturally Lin Jianquan. In fact, Lao Zhou and Sun Jiajing have also been observing this period, observing the compatibility between Lin Jianquan and Hell King, and the result is very satisfactory.

That day, she watched Lin Jianquan riding the Hell King again, and was a little surprised for a moment.

Lin Jianquan is taciturn, cold, and aloof. Such a person is not likable in reality.

But once he gets on the horse, that state is completely different.

He is like water, like a vine, and can transform himself into different states to perfectly match the horse he rides.

He can gently control the smooth black rose like a ribbon, and he can also cooperate properly with the unruly Hell King.

He seems to be able to match any type of horse and perfectly achieve their tacit understanding.

Ye Tianhui remembered what Meng Yinian said as a joke, he said he was jealous.

She must admit that she found that Lin Jianquan was talented at the beginning, but she didn't expect him to have such potential, which was also beyond her expectations.

While thinking this, Lin Jianquan had already finished a lap and got off the horse. Sun Jiajing and Jessise continued to slow down the jogging for the Hell King and prepared for post-exercise care.

Lin Jianquan also put on a horse towel and wiped the sweat from his forehead with a white towel.

He looked at Ye Tianhui: "You came early today."

Ye Tianhui: "That day, even Meng Yinian said that you were very talented, and he began to be jealous of me."

Lin Jianquan's expression changed slightly after hearing this.

Afterwards, he said calmly: "It's not that I have any talent, but you taught me well."

Ye Tianhui smiled: "I don't think I taught you these."

Lin Jianquan: "You taught me."

He smiled and whispered: "That day you gave me Black Rose and told me to experience Black Rose's feelings with my heart. In fact, I have been thinking about how I should use my heart and how I should understand this horse."

"Later, I fed it grass, I slept in the stable with it, I held it in my arms on rainy and thundering nights, I felt its rhythm on its back again and again, and then one day I finally understood that it is my friend, another part of my body, I will love it with all my strength, and I must also believe that it will not let me down at the critical moment."

Ye Tianhui's heart moved slightly when he heard this, but he thought of some past events, those that he had forgotten.

After a while, she chuckled: "You are a very talented student. I believe you will surpass everyone one day, including me."

Lin Jianquan: "I hope so too, but I know there is a horse that I will never be able to ride."

Ye Tianhui: "Oh?"

Lin Jianquan smiled and looked at Ye Tianhui: "Teng Yunwu, it only belongs to you, no one can drive it."

Ye Tianhui laughed dumbly: "Yes."

As she said this, the assistant ran over and said that it was Lin Jianquan's mother who came to see Lin Jianquan.

Ye Tianhui was a little surprised.

Lin Jianquan explained, "Her condition has suddenly improved recently, and she occasionally comes to see me accompanied by the nanny. I was a little surprised, but I thought that since she was willing to come out, I also hope that she can go out and walk around, which is better than staying at home."

Ye Tianhui: "Yes, it's good to get out and relax."

After a while, he said, "If you need anything, just tell me anytime, whether it's medical resources or manpower."

Lin Jianquan: "I understand. Now I have some money after all. I can take good care of her, whether it's nutrition or medical care. It turns out that money is the most effective."

Ye Tianhui listened to this and looked at Lin Jianquan. His dark eyes were smiling slightly, and he looked completely different from before.

She asked, "Why did you go to the racecourse to be a clerk?"

Lin Jianquan paused for a moment before saying, "For money, so that I can have money to take good care of her."

"She endured many grievances to give birth to me and raise me. I will never be able to repay her for the rest of my life. We are so poor. I am willing to sell my life to racehorses so that she can have no worries about food and clothing."
