Chapter 113

Obviously, Master Ye was hit hard.

He had always known about the fights between the branches of the family, and he had always thought that everything was under his control. He felt that he could manipulate people's hearts, and that his children should be filial.

He had built a structure in which each child of the Ye family occupied a small building, but with him as the center. He felt that all the children were united around him, and he could command them at any time with a single command.

But now, he finally realized that he was old, and everything was not as beautiful as he thought.

It turned out that the seemingly prosperous family had already been buried in crisis.

And what hit Master Ye the most was probably Ye Lixuan's reaction afterwards.

Ye Lixuan called the police and asked for the relevant people to be punished, and at the same time he moved out of the old house of the Ye family.

It was just moving away, which might not be a big deal for some new-style families, but it was a big blow to Mr. Ye, which meant that his authority in the family had been broken. He was old and could no longer control the family. On a deeper level, the Ye family might even be facing collapse.

Mr. Ye had no way to stop his son from leaving, and he could not say anything. With the help of Ye Tianhui, he managed to take care of the household affairs.

Gu Zhihan was devastated by Feng Wenyin's fake pregnancy. He had put so much effort into it and felt guilty. He tried his best to protect Feng Wenyin, but he didn't know that it was all a scam and that there was no such fetus in the world.

He was devastated and gave up on Feng Wenyin.

Ye Lizhen was implicated by the second wife and naturally had no time to take care of Feng Wenyin. As a result, Feng Wenyin was left without anyone to protect her. The Ye family handed Feng Wenyin and Feng Suqin over to the Hong Kong Police Station to handle the case.

Feng Suqin was not originally a formal resident of Hong Kong, and now she has been accused of many crimes by the Ye family, so she is imprisoned. After serving her sentence for several years, she will be expelled from Hong Kong.

As for Feng Wenyin, her past actions have already triggered the law, and she is being investigated by the Hong Kong Police Department. Naturally, she will be sentenced and imprisoned.

The Ye family has been merciless in dealing with Feng Suqin and Feng Wenyin.

However, it is not so simple for the second wife and Ye Lizhen. After all, they are Ye family members, and they are also their own family members who are sent to the police and prosecuted by law.

Master Ye wanted to suppress this matter, but Ye Lixuan naturally refused. Ye Lixuan usually kept silent, but at the critical moment, he was more stubborn than anyone else. He just wanted to avenge his wife and could not tolerate it.

Behind Ye Lixuan were Ye Yibai and Ye Tianhui, who were not easy to deal with.

As for Ye Tianhui, she had the full support of Gu Shizhang, so Master Ye could not and would not force her.

After weighing the pros and cons, Ye Lizhen lost everything in Hong Kong, including the inheritance rights of the Ye family. He then left Hong Kong and was sent to Europe to open up markets. He was not allowed to return to Hong Kong. Ye Laozi and the second wife dissolved their marriage. The second wife left the house with almost nothing and left with her son Ye Lizhen. This was the last dignity that Ye Laozi fought for for the mother and son.

The matter finally came to an end. Ye Laozi was devastated and depressed after this blow.

He stayed at home for several days to recuperate and rarely saw outsiders. He was discouraged.

Ye Yibai was amused by this: "Who cares? If the second wife hadn't been condoned by him, she wouldn't have dared to do such a thing. He brought such a woman back from studying abroad. He was really a troublemaker. Now he finally knows that he was wrong. It's too late. It's all in vain!"

Ye Lixuan was also somewhat shocked by this incident, and he felt more guilty towards Ye Tianhui.

That day, Ye Tianhui went to see him and mentioned Ye Laoyezi: "He is old, and he seems to be devastated after this blow."

Originally, they were half-way relatives, and they were separated by generations. Ye Tianhui didn't have such deep feelings for Ye Laoyezi.

Without such deep feelings, she was more of a mutually beneficial idea, so from a rational point of view, she was not so angry with this old man who was a remnant of the feudal era.

Ye Tianhui even felt that her treatment of Old Master Ye was somewhat like the treatment of the emperor by the ministers of the previous generation. You can't expect to be open with the emperor, but the emperor won't be too stupid, so as a minister, you should be content.

Therefore, Ye Tianhui can now rationally persuade Ye Lixuan: "Daddy, if you are not happy with the Second Wife and Ye Lizhen, then I will naturally have ways to deal with them. They can't go back to Hong Kong, and they can't live a good life outside. As for the old man, now we are both father and daughter and we are in power. He is old and is just a decoration. Why should we bother with such an old man who can only be a mascot?"

At least he should be respectful on the surface and not be too outrageous, otherwise if he is stabbed in the back, what will happen to the inheritance rights?

Ye Tianhui felt that this grandfather was hateful, but not to the point of being unforgivable, so they didn't need to go against Qian.

But Ye Lixuan was different. Ye Lixuan regarded that man as his biological father. He truly believed that his biological father had feelings for his biological mother and never forgot her. Now that his biological father's second wife had harmed his wife, he was emotionally traumatized.

Now when he heard this, he said calmly: "I won't go back to live for the time being. Anyway, you are supporting the family, so I don't have to go back."

Obviously, he didn't want to mention the old man, so he changed the subject and said: "How is your work recently, the development of Shatin, and the upcoming Derby?"

Ye Tianhui: "It's okay, anyway, I'm doing it."

Recently, the old man Ye was in a low mood. On the one hand, Ye Tianhui ordered people to take good care of him, and on the other hand, she used the emperor to command the princes, taking the opportunity to expand her influence in the Ye family and seize the power of the Ye family.

As for Ye Wenyong and other cousins, she kept some discretion and gave them a lot, without any intention of squeezing them out.

However, it would take time for the brothers and sisters to observe and test each other. Of course, some of them wanted to instigate the old man and use him to check and balance Ye Tianhui. After all ,

although the old man was old, his status was still there. Ye Tianhui alone would not be able to defeat the old man.

Ye Tianhui was not worried about this. If they wanted to make trouble, then let them make trouble. They could see who would win in the end when they got home.

Expecting the old man to support them and defeat them, it could only be said that they did not understand the situation at all.

Besides, she had more important things to do now. After all, the sensational four-year-old horse classic race had already begun.

In fact, the reason why the Derby has attracted so much attention in Hong Kong is related to the characteristics of horse racing in Hong Kong. Although Hong Kong is a mainstream horse racing area, it is not a horse breeding area itself, so the classic series starts with four-year-old horses.

The Four-Year Classic is divided into three stages, namely the 1,600-meter Classic Mile and the 1,800-meter Hong Kong Classic Cup. Only after passing these two stages can one participate in the Hong Kong Derby, which is known as "Four-Year-Old Fame, Once in a Lifetime".

And this day is the 1,600-meter Classic Mile. As the first stage of the three classic stages, the Jockey Club naturally attaches great importance to it. Ye Tianhui also rushed over to watch the race.

Who knew that when he arrived outside the racecourse, he happened to meet Meng Yinian.

Since last year's season, the new racecourse was chosen in Shatin, and Shatin also began to reclaim land. The Ye family, which owns a large area of ​​Shatin land, has become the most direct beneficiary. The land owned by the Ye family was originally purchased at a low price. Now the water has risen and it is time to make a fortune.

Because of the Hong Kong government's emphasis on Shatin and the future establishment of the racecourse, the Ye family will inevitably play an important role in it, so the Ye family's status in Hong Kong has been greatly improved.

It can be said that this is the first time that Hong Kong has reclaimed land on a large scale. The Ye family has caught up with this sensational history and also reaped the dividends of this great change.

In contrast, the land under the name of the Meng family has not caught up with this wave at all, and because of the wrong chips, the value of those lands has been greatly discounted. If you don't move forward, you will fall behind. So much money has been invested, and it is impossible to get it back for a while. Their family seems to have encountered some financial troubles, and they are currently planning to sell a piece of land under their name at a low price.

Now Ye Tianhui met Meng Yinian, who was quite graceful. He smiled and greeted Ye Tianhui, and the two exchanged a few words.

Meng Yinian expressed his implicit greetings about the Ye family's affairs. Apparently, the Ye family's affairs had spread and became a topic of conversation among Hong Kong's upper class.

But it was no big deal. Anyway, such affairs come and go. After this period, everyone will naturally have new topics to talk about. Besides, in such a large circle, who doesn't have some affairs?

Last year, the Meng family lost the dispute over land reclamation. During the Chinese New Year, Zhou Wanlan and the Ning family were arguing about divorce. After the Chinese New Year, Gu Zhihan of the Gu family was arguing about having a mistress outside. There were also many other things worth mentioning, and I was thick-skinned and pretended that nothing had happened.

Now that Meng Yinian was concerned, Ye Tianhui said, "Thank you for your concern. Now that the dust has settled."

Meng Yinian nodded, "That's good. Miss Ye is very popular now. I just feel sorry that I can't see you on the battlefield in this Derby. If you take action, all the horses in our family will be willing to avoid the fight."

Ye Tianhui smiled and said, "How can that be? We can't let all the horses in Hong Kong stop fighting just because of me. We still have to compete. For this reason, I have always been here. After this, we have to retire from the world of horse racing. Everyone should train horses well. We, the King of Hell, are now practicing diligently every day, hoping to meet a worthy opponent and have a good fight. "

Meng Yinian: "Okay, this time we will have two horses to participate in the battle, and hope to see the style of the King of Hell again in the final of the Derby."

As they talked, the two arrived at the horse farm, and who knew that they happened to meet Jessise, who was carrying a big bag filled with horse blankets, spare saddles and water.

He saw Ye Tianhui and hurriedly greeted her, and Ye Tianhui asked about the preparations.

Jessise briefly explained the situation, and when talking about logistical preparations, she suddenly remembered: "By the way, Jianquan's mother also came to watch him compete today."

Ye Tianhui was surprised when she heard this: "Really?"

She knew that Lin Jianquan's mother's condition had been getting better recently, but she didn't expect that she would come to watch Lin Jianquan's competition today.

Jessise smiled with her white teeth showing: "Yes, I think Mother Lin is in good condition. She is very gentle and doesn't talk much, as if she is afraid of bothering us. Look, I brought her some food, she can eat it when she is hungry later."

Ye Tianhui nodded: "Ask a few more people to the logistics area to take good care of Mother Lin."

Jessise said: "Understood!"

Meng Yinian was surprised: "Is Mr. Lin's mother in poor health?"

Ye Tianhui: "Well, not very well."

As she spoke, she saw Jessise took a lot of things, so she simply took a few of them: "I'll go with you, and say hello to Mother Lin by the way."

After explaining a few things to Meng Yinian, Meng Yinian went upstairs accompanied by his secretary. Ye Tianhui went to the preparation area and indeed met Lin Jianquan's mother.

Ye Tianhui had only met Lin Jianquan's mother once. At that time, her hair was messy and she could only vaguely see some of her eyebrows and eyes. She knew that she was pretty, but not really.

Now she is mentally normal. Although she doesn't dress up deliberately, she just keeps herself decent, but it can be seen that she must have been a great beauty when she was young.

Of course, she is still pretty now. She looks only in her thirties. Although she has been tortured by illness, her aura is still there.

Ye Tianhui walked forward and greeted her with a smile. When Lin Jianquan saw her, he briefly introduced her. Lin Jianquan's mother's surname is Lin and her name is Yuehua.

When Lin Jianquan's mother heard that this was Ye Tianhui, she came over solemnly and thanked Ye Tianhui.

At this time, there was still some time before the game, and Lin Jianquan was nearby. Ye Tianhui felt that Lin Jianquan seemed somewhat uncomfortable, so she invited him, "Sister Lin, it's windy today, and you're weak. Come with me to the stands over here, and we can sit and watch together?"

It was obvious that Lin Jianquan's mother also wanted to say a few words to Ye Tianhui, so she agreed.

At one point, the two of them went to the quiet box viewing area nearby, and Ye Tianhui asked someone to bring in cakes and snacks, and the two of them talked while tasting them.

Obviously, Mother Lin was a little weak. She leaned slightly on the sofa, smiled apologetically and said, "I'm sorry, I have been ill these years. I don't understand many things and haven't seen much of the world. I'm sorry to embarrass you."

Ye Tianhui smiled and said, "Sister Lin, you are polite. You can talk casually. First, Jianquan and I have known each other since childhood. We were friends before he became my jockey coach. I still regard him as a friend. Since we are friends, there is no need to be so formal. Second, I came from the mainland. Although I am now in a wealthy family, I have never paid much attention to those red tapes. Between you and me, just say whatever you want to say."

Mother Lin's smile slowly subsided. She looked out the window. Outside the window, Lin Jianquan was standing in the crowd, surrounded by a group of staff. It seemed that he was preparing to be weighed and the competition was about to begin.

Mother Lin sighed: "Miss Ye, you know the situation in our family. My child is a miserable person and has been pitiful since he was young. I have been crazy these years, and even when I woke up, he was not in good condition. He has worked so hard."

Ye Tianhui listened: "Yes, I know a thing or two, Jianquan is a very good child."

Mother Lin smiled bitterly: "I have also thought about it, since he is my child in this life, I should raise him well. This is also my responsibility, but I have been..."

Ye Tianhui saw that there was indescribable pain in her eyes.

That was the pain that could not be dissolved after the years had settled. Ye Tianhui could even feel how hard she had tried to get rid of it, to forget it, to struggle out of it, but the pain still remained in her heart.

She was silent.

Words are pale, and the so-called comfort from outsiders is meaningless, because there is no real empathy in this world.

At this time, the game began, the starting gun sounded, and the twelve horses shot out like bullets. The applause on the field was thunderous, and many people shouted the name of the King of Hell and Lin Jianquan.

Mother Lin looked at the boy running the horse through the glass curtain wall. While looking at him, she looked a little dazed.

She seemed to be trapped in some kind of memory, or rather, she saw another person through Lin Jianquan, a person who could bring back many memories for her.

Ye Tianhui then remembered Lin Jianquan's words about his background.

At one point, Ye Tianhui also had doubts, perhaps this mother had lied in a cover-up, what was the truth?

At this time, Mother Lin spoke. She murmured, "He has grown up. He is very good, very good."

Ye Tianhui said softly, "Yes, he is a well-known jockey in the horse racing world. He is at the peak of his career. He is still young. He will only get better and better and have a bright future."

She smiled and said to Mother Lin, "You see, any pain can be overcome."

Mother Lin was stunned when she heard this, and then she showed a weak smile, "Yes, you are right. I really have nothing to worry about."

As she spoke, she looked at Ye Tianhui, "Thank you, Miss Ye. Actually, I have seen you on TV. I am always curious about you. I really want to see you and say thank you in person, but I haven’t been in a good condition. I’m also afraid that I will embarrass him and have a bad influence on him, so I haven’t dared to go out. "

Ye Tianhui heard this and advised: "Sister Lin, what are you talking about? If you can go out and walk around, I think I will be happy to see Quan."

Mother Lin nodded slightly: "I really should go out and walk around. I also want to see what he looks like, but--"

When she said this, she sighed lightly, and a trace of helplessness appeared in her eyes: "I’m afraid I don’t have that blessing."

Ye Tianhui heard this and her heart moved. She looked over and saw that Mother Lin’s expression was getting more and more sad, and there was a hint of the afterlife in that sadness.

For a moment, she was slightly surprised.

Thinking about how Mother Lin has been acting very different these days, is there something wrong?

Mother Lin was still looking out the window. She murmured, "Miss Ye is a good person. I feel relieved that he can meet a good person like you."

Ye Tianhui had already guessed something in her heart, but she remained calm and said, "I heard Jianquan say that you are studying cooking now. He likes it very much and is worried that you will gain weight." Mother Lin:

"The doctor said I should learn to do something to comfort my mind."

Ye Tianhui: "When I have time, I will come to visit you. I look forward to having the opportunity to taste your cooking."

Mother Lin smiled and said, "If you don't mind, you are welcome."

While the two were talking, the competition was over. Lin Jianquan took the lead and won the first place. Although there was not much suspense, there was still cheers in the stadium.

Ye Tianhui smiled and said, "Sister Lin, I'll go down with you to have a look. Jianquan is about to come out."

Then Lin's mother also said, "Okay, let's go together."

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

After the four-year-old classic race started, Lin Jianquan can be said to have won many battles and was invincible all the way. Among the participating horses in this year's Hong Kong Derby, he is among the best.

At the same time, the Meng family's Bai Er De De and Wandering Desert, and the Ning family's Lucky Horse also won in the race. What surprised Ye Tianhui the most was the war horse Mcgaffick owned by the Indian horse owner. In fact,

there has always been a lack of famous racing horses from all over the world who have come to Hong Kong to compete in major races in Hong Kong. Most of them have a lot of tracks and backgrounds, so that in the Derby over the years, the number of times that local racing horses have won the championship is very few.

This year, the Meng family, the Ning family, and the Ye family have all invested heavily in this Derby, determined to fight to the death with the foreign racers. From the perspective of the Hong Kong Jockey Club, they naturally want to encourage more and let the local Hong Kong racers win honors.

Because of the recent Hong Kong races, there are naturally foreign bigwigs coming to Hong Kong. It can be said that it is a time of great opportunity. Among them, there are huge engineering projects involving Shatin reclamation, and there are many interests involved. Among

them, several of the world's top rich people happened to come, and the Hong Kong government hosted a banquet for them. This is naturally something that ordinary people in the Hong Kong upper class circle cannot touch. Gu Shizhang happened to be familiar with those people, so he simply took Ye Tianhui over and introduced Ye Tianhui.

Because of the last Queen's Cup, Ye Tianhui already had a good reputation in the horse racing world. Now that she appeared as Gu Shizhang's girlfriend, she naturally attracted more attention.

There were also a few people who were quite close to Gu Shizhang and were surprised by Ye Tianhui: "I didn't expect Gu to have a girlfriend. I always thought he was going to become a monk."

This made everyone laugh. Some people praised her and felt that Gu Shizhang and Ye Tianhui were a perfect match.

The banquet ended that day, and Gu Shizhang took Ye Tianhui away.

Sitting in the car, Gu Shizhang bowed his head slightly and whispered: "Who asked you to drink?"

Ye Tianhui's face was slightly red, and her eyes were a little wet.

She leaned slightly on the leather seat, blinking her eyes, with an innocent look: "I just took a few sips, and it was red wine."

Gu Shizhang kissed the corner of her lips and said with some pity: "Don't drink next time."

Ye Tianhui reacted for a while, and felt that she should be tough, so she said: "You control me, I will drink!"

Gu Shizhang listened to her stubborn tone and was helpless for a moment: "You won't get drunk--"

The former female general, that person could drink a thousand cups without getting drunk.

He continued, "It's just that you're bound to cause trouble when you're drunk, and it's inevitable that you'll go crazy."

Ye Tianhui was not convinced: "Have I ever gone crazy?"

Gu Shizhang raised his eyebrows and smiled: "I don't think so."

In fact, of course, he had a banquet in the palace, and she drank a few cups, and then she didn't know how to run to his harem and cut down the crabapple tree outside his study.

If it were anyone else, they would have to deal with someone who was plotting something unlawful.

In order to avoid criticism, he had to secretly order the tree to be uprooted, saying that it was cut down because it affected the light in the study.

He kissed the corner of her lips helplessly: "Come to my place tonight."

He whispered in a coaxing tone, and his voice was moving. Perhaps it was because he drank some wine, but it made people feel soft inside.

It was late at night, and the wind was blowing from all directions outside. On such a night, coupled with some alcohol, Ye Tianhui couldn't help but have many ideas.

She raised her hand and hooked his neck: "Okay."

Since the ban on the outlying island was lifted, the two of them actually didn't have any big concerns in this regard. Anyway, they just did what they should do. His skills were getting better and better, and she liked it very much.

Life is short, enjoy it first.

Gu Shizhang saw her with a dazed look in her eyes and long eyelashes. Against the dim light in the carriage, her eyes looked particularly innocent.

Even the way she hooked her arm around his neck looked innocent and simple.

She looked completely different from usual, and this look would make a man have some thoughts.

He took a deep breath, suppressed that feeling, tilted his head slightly, and kissed the corner of her eye with sympathy.

The corner of her eye was slightly red, which made her look even more attractive.

He whispered, "Your dad is still living outside?"

Ye Tianhui: "Who knows him? They are angry with each other, so let them be angry. Am I going to be the one caught in the middle..."

Now Old Master Ye is somewhat annoyed with her, but let him be. She should get what she deserves first. As for who is angry, why should she care about that?

Gu Shizhang sighed lightly: "Your dad was also hit by this matter. He looks very depressed recently."

But there is nothing he can do about it. The truth of the past is so hurtful. He needs time to digest it.

Ye Tianhui: "Well, everyone feels bad about the quarrel in our family."

She is actually fine. After all, she has been mentally prepared. It's just that the shock is greater for others.

Gu Shizhang: "Things in your family are too chaotic. After the Derby, I will accompany you to England to relax."

Ye Tianhui: "I think so too."

After the big fuss at home, it is impossible to recover immediately. It takes time to get through it slowly.

The old man also needs time to figure it out and get over this hurdle.

It's just right that she can avoid the right and wrong of Hong Kong and steal a half day of leisure.

As she thought about this, she thought of Lin Jianquan.

Although Lin Jianquan is now famous, Ye Tianhui has also thought that he can't just do speed racing all his life. After all, there are height and weight restrictions. A person should not be confined to speed racing forever.

In order to seek more development, he should see more of the outside world. Maybe when he has time, he should go abroad to study, either in the United States or Europe.

She said, "When there is a chance, let Lin Jianquan go abroad to study and improve himself."

Gu Shizhang raised his eyebrows and said, "You really care about him."

His words were inevitably a little sour.

Ye Tianhui raised her hand, hugged his neck, tilted her head and said, "Why are you so sour? Of course I care about him!"

After all, he was her cash cow for thirty years.

Gu Shizhang bowed his head, bit her earlobe, and gritted his teeth: "You are such a heartless little thing."

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

The Derby was in full swing, and Ye Tianhui was also planning a trip to the UK. At this time, she suddenly heard the news that Lin Jianquan's mother had fallen ill again and started to go crazy, so she had to be rushed to the hospital to take compulsory measures.

Ye Tianhui was also surprised when she heard it. That day, Lin Jianquan's mother was clearly in good condition. How could such a calm and gentle person suddenly come to this point?

She did not dare to delay and hurried to visit Lin Jianquan's mother.

At this time, Lin Jianquan's mother suddenly returned to her past state. She was forced to be locked in the ward, saying some strange words, and her mind was upside down. She no longer saw the weak but gentle appearance of that day!

Lin Jianquan was obviously shocked. He couldn't understand what happened.

He muttered: "Isn't it all right? It was all right. Why did it suddenly become like this..."

It happened that there were no competitions in the past few days. Ye Tianhui asked him to have a good rest and asked Jessise to accompany him there in case something happened.

But after leaving the hospital, she couldn't help but feel confused.

She started chatting with Gu Shizhang: "When Aunt Lin talked to me that day, I always felt that she seemed not very optimistic about the future--"

Gu Shizhang: "Huh? Why not optimistic?"

Ye Tianhui thought for a while: "It's as if... she feels that her life is coming to an end, so she is not very reassured about Lin Jianquan. When she talked to me, it reminded me of the feeling of entrusting an orphan to someone else."

Gu Shizhang pondered for a moment and said: "But from the perspective of the hospital examination, she should indeed have been caused by mental stimulation."

After all, mental illness is uncontrollable and unpredictable, and she could not have predicted her condition in advance. Ye Tianhui: " Let's put

it this way. This time she is in the hospital, I will remind Jianquan to take the opportunity to do a comprehensive physical examination on her and let him pay more attention to the results of the physical examination." As she said this, she suddenly thought of: "However, the pessimism in her words that day and her sudden mental stimulation later should be two different things. That day--" She thought for a while and finally said: "Could it be that she saw someone who was mentally shocked, so she got sick?" Gu Shizhang: "Oh, the racecourse, who did she meet?" Ye Tianhui's heart suddenly paused. She suddenly thought of a possibility. She frowned: "Could it be Meng Yinian? She met Meng Yinian, and was stimulated after seeing Meng Yinian?" Gu Shizhang: "Yinian?" Ye Tianhui remembered all the subtle feelings before, and the inexplicable hostility of Lin Jianquan when facing Meng Yinian. She felt more and more that there must be something here. She nodded: "Go and check it out, starting with your good friend." If it is really as she guessed, then this matter will be interesting.
