Chapter 116

It was already late when Lin Jianquan walked out of the racecourse.

His mother had recently returned to the nursing home, so there were not many people at home. In addition, the recent Derby was very intense, so most of the time he would stay at the racecourse to train until very late, and simply live in the rest room of the stable at night.

Only occasionally would he go home to get a change of clothes, and then visit his mother in the nursing home the next day.

When he returned home that day, he just walked downstairs and saw a luxury car parked not far away, and next to the car stood three or five sturdy figures, obviously professional bodyguards.

He immediately understood who they were.

In fact, the Meng family had come to him separately in the past two days. Meng Baohui came to him and wanted to recognize him as his relative and to have a deep father-son relationship with him. Meng Yinian had advised him that he was sorry for him and that he would treat him as his younger brother in the future, take good care of him, and give him money and property.

But these were meaningless to him, and had no meaning at all.

This just made him understand a truth, that when you are weak and down and out, the so-called family affection is meaningless. Only when you climb to a high place and shine, the father-son affection will have value and the so-called blood is thicker than water.

If it weren't for Ye Tianhui, if I hadn't come this far, how could the Meng family, knowing the truth, admit it so readily and be so eager for him to recognize his ancestors?

At this time, the car door was opened, and he saw Meng Yinian helping an old man with gray hair get out of the car.

The old man raised his eyes and looked at him, with kindness in his eyes, a kind of kindness without calculation, just like an ordinary old man.

However, Lin Jianquan felt mockery when he saw this look.

In that cold winter, his family had no food for the next night, and the mother and son were starving and cold. They went to other people's doors for help but were driven away. Amid the scolding and expulsion of the security guard, he looked back and saw only the hard and cold luxurious courtyard wall.

At that time, inside the tall courtyard wall, was this kind and gentle old man holding tea and chatting about family matters?

At this time, Meng Yinian helped the old man walk to his side.

The old man looked at Lin Jianquan and sighed, "Jianquan, can we talk?"

Lin Jianquan looked at the old man silently.

He felt mocking in his heart, but he also knew that he didn't need to act on impulse. If he acted on impulse, it meant that he had hatred in his heart, but he no longer hated it now, and he was more rational and stayed out of it.

The so-called rationality is that he understood that the arrival of the old man of the Meng family meant that the highest authority of the Meng family had arrived. This was already the greatest respect for him, and it was also the time for him to make a request.

He nodded at the moment: "Mr. Meng, of course."

The four words "Mr. Meng" were polite and distant, and Mr. Meng obviously realized this.

But he still smiled and said, "Do you live here? Is it convenient to take me in to have a look?"

Lin Jianquan: "It's not convenient."

Mr. Meng was slightly stunned, and then smiled.

Lin Jianquan: "There is a tea restaurant in front, it's quite quiet, let's go there and chat."

Old Master Meng smiled: "Okay, okay."

As soon as he said this, his bodyguards rushed to the tea restaurant. So when Meng Yinian supported Old Master Meng and went to the tea restaurant with Lin Jianquan, the whole tea restaurant was already silent, there were no customers, and the waiters lined up respectfully to greet them.

Lin Jianquan looked at this scene, his expression became colder.

After a few people sat down, Master Meng said, "I really didn't know about what happened back then. I haven't been in good health these years and have been recuperating abroad. But this matter is still my fault. I didn't do well and didn't educate my son well, so that you and your son suffered a lot of grievances. I want to apologize to you for this."

Lin Jianquan said calmly, "Mr. Meng, you are too serious. I don't need to apologize."

Master Meng said, "I just think you have suffered a lot of grievances in these years. It shouldn't be like this. You should have enjoyed a wealthy life, without worries about food and clothing. You shouldn't suffer this kind of suffering. This is my fault. I never thought that my disappointing son would be so ignorant! If I had known at the time-" When

it comes to this , his eyes even showed moisture, and he said with great pity: "Grandpa, I'm sorry!"

Lin Jianquan smiled: "Mr. Meng, I said, I don't care. As for the fine clothes and delicious food you mentioned, what does that have to do with me?"

He looked at Grandpa Meng: "The road I take is naturally humble and difficult in the eyes of bystanders, but so what, I was born like this, and since I was sensible, I have to crawl out of the mud little by little. I have been walking on this road for fifteen years, I have become accustomed to this kind of life, and try to do better on this road."

Grandpa Meng listened, frowned slightly, and looked over in the slightly dim light of the tea restaurant, but saw that the young man in front of him had clear and calm eyes.

He nodded slightly: "You did a good job indeed."

Lin Jianquan: "Everyone has his own destiny. This is my destiny. Maybe I have complained about the unfairness of fate, but now, I have struggled to find a way to survive. Since I have struggled out, I will be grateful."

He looked at Old Man Meng and said, "The me of today, the me you see now, is not a simple and static me, but the me who has been condensed and tempered by the experiences of the past fifteen years from birth to now. So today's Lin Jianquan also includes the Lin Jianquan of the past fifteen years."

Old Man Meng was obviously a little surprised when he heard this.

He let out a breath and looked at Lin Jianquan with admiration: "You are so young, but you can think so clearly. It's rare."

Lin Jianquan smiled at Old Master Meng: "Now you tell you to apologize to me, saying that I shouldn't live this kind of life, saying that I should have another life, but if I were in another life environment, I would not be the Lin Jianquan I am today. I would take another path and become a Lin Jianquan that I am completely unfamiliar with, a stranger."

He finally said: "I don't like the life you are talking about, because it means another life. Although I will envy it, it does not belong to me. If I really have it, then I will no longer exist, and that is a denial of myself."

Old Master Meng looked at his grandson, his face was still calm, but his heart was already in turmoil.

He must have this grandson, and let him recognize his ancestors and return to his roots.

Meng Yinian, who was standing next to him, was also a little shocked when he heard this.

In his opinion, Lin Jianquan was Ye Tianhui's riding coach. What kind of person was he? He was extremely quiet, as quiet as the air.

He had delicate eyebrows and beautiful eyes, but he always kept his eyelids drooped, and his eyes were indifferent to nothing.

Such a young man seemed to be surrounded by a layer of mist from the world.

Only after the young man got on the horse and entered the racecourse did he instantly burst out with strong vitality and become a radiant existence.

For such a person, Meng Yinian would inevitably feel that the other party might be ignorant of the world. He only knew horse racing and his mind was only on horses.

But what Lin Jianquan said this time made him understand that he had misjudged this young man.

The rough experience since childhood has polished this young man so thoroughly, confidently and calmly.

At this time, Master Meng gave Meng Yinian a look.

Meng Yinian understood and said, "Jianquan, this time the old man came to see you, actually I want to discuss something with you."

Lin Jianquan looked at Meng Yinian. In fact, his attitude towards Meng Yinian was quite good.

He immediately said, "Mr. Meng, please speak."

Meng Yinian: "First of all, it's about your contract. You have signed a 30-year contract with Miss Ye. What do you think about this contract?"

Lin Jianquan: "What do you think? Mr. Meng, what do you mean?"

Meng Yinian: "Whether you recognize your ancestors or not, we want to consider it for you and help you solve some practical problems."

Meng Yinian looked at Lin Jianquan: "I hope to persuade Miss Ye to give up our If your contract requires any price, the Meng family will bear it. "

At this time, Mr. Meng said: "Jianquan, you don't have to think too much. It doesn't matter whether you agree with us or not. The key is that we want to think about you and let you be free and no longer bound by the contract."

After hearing this, Lin Jianquan understood: "Mr. Meng has already talked to Miss Ye, Miss Ye disagrees, so Mr. Meng came to me?"

Meng Yinian looked: "Maybe she agrees?"

Lin Jianquan smiled.

Meng Yinian has been staring at Lin Jianquan. He keenly noticed that when Lin Jianquan smiled this time, a trace of almost invisible warmth flashed in his eyes.

Lin Jianquan smiled and said, "According to the contract, she can indeed transfer my contract, but I believe that she will not transfer my contract without discussing it with me."

His eyes slowly turned from Meng Yinian to Old Man Meng: "I have this trust in her, she will not transfer me to others casually." Old Man Meng

frowned: "Jianquan, what about you? Are you willing to work in her stable for the rest of your life and obey her orders for the rest of your life? People, don’t you want to have your own stable and your own racehorses? "

Lin Jianquan: "So this is what I want to say, and I also hope that Mr. Meng and Mr. Meng can understand this."

After that, his voice became serious: "I believe she will not sell me out, and she will believe that I will not betray her. There is this kind of trust and tacit understanding between us, and it will always be there." After he

said this, the scene was silent, and the grandfather and grandson looked at each other.

Lin Jianquan continued, "As for the contract, it is indeed for thirty years, a contract of sale, but that's nothing. I'm a knight of the Ye family in life, and I'll be a ghost of the Ye family in death, so I'll sell myself."

Old Master Meng's expression suddenly became complicated: "Jianquan, are you going to sell your life for the Ye family like this?"

Lin Jianquan: "When my stomach was empty, she gave me a bite to eat; when I was nearly killed in a frightened horse, she saved me at all costs. Later, she gave me opportunities and single-handedly brought me to my current position. Now I'm famous in Hong Kong, but it's all her credit."

He looked at the old man in front of him, his expression calm: "I am willing to be her cash cow and let her drive me. This will not change no matter what my background is."

Old Master Meng was completely speechless.

Meng Yinian didn't know what to say.

In fact, both of them felt very upset. After all, this was the blood of the Meng family, but he ended up falling into the hands of the Ye family, who were completely devoted to him.

The Meng family had such a rare and talented young knight, but they couldn't use him. It was even more bitter.

After a long while, old man Meng finally sighed: "We can understand what you said. Miss Ye has indeed been very kind to you. We naturally agree that you are willing to repay her kindness. This is the character of our Meng family. But I also hope that you can understand the guilt of an old man like me."

Lin Jianquan: "Mr. Meng, I have said what I should say. If you have anything to say, just say it directly."

He was very straightforward, and old man Meng did not hide anything: "Now I think that I can't do much for you for a while, but I have treated you badly over the years, and I hope to make it up to you a little." As

he said that, old man Meng nodded slightly, and an assistant handed him a document.

Old Master Meng pushed the document in front of Lin Jianquan: "This is some property that you deserve. It's a birthday gift from me, your elder, for you. I hope you won't refuse it."

Lin Jianquan lowered his eyelids and glanced at him indifferently: "I appreciate your kindness, but for the gift. After all, my surname is Lin, not Meng, and I feel unworthy of such an expensive birthday gift."

Meng Yinian: "Jianquan, this is the old man's heart. Just accept it, otherwise the old man will be sad for nothing."

Lin Jianquan smiled and said, "I'm sorry, I can't accept it. In fact, I suggest that Mr. Meng should persuade the old man. If you don't persuade him, the old man will be stubborn and insist on giving it. If it is rejected in vain, wouldn't it make the old man sad and disappointed?"

Meng Yinian was slightly stunned when he heard this, thinking what a boomerang.

Lin Jianquan has learned to be eloquent from Ye Tianhui.

Master Meng: "Forget it, since you don't want it, just keep it with me for now. I can give it to you anytime you want it. But there is another important thing, I want to..."

He paused, then continued: "I want to meet your mother, is that okay?"

When Lin Jianquan heard this, his eyes suddenly raised.

Old Master Meng was aware of his vigilance and he hurriedly said, "You don't have to worry. She suffered a great injustice back then. I feel bad talking about this. It's been many years and many things are irreversible. But I still hope to say sorry to her and clear his name. What do you think?"

Lin Jianquan looked at Old Master Meng for a long time and finally said, "Okay."

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

The Meng family has obviously been having a headache because of Lin Jianquan these days. The old man of the Meng family, Meng Baohui and Meng Yinian almost took turns to persuade Mother Lin to agree to let Lin Jianquan recognize his ancestors, but it was obvious that Mother Lin was stubborn. Meng Baohui refused to recognize him back then, and she had been holding her breath for many years and almost harbored hatred for half her life. Now that the Meng family has come to beg her, she is willing to recognize him.

She was mixed with joy and anger, but she seemed relieved.

The anger that had been held for years finally came out.

Ye Tianhui also felt particularly happy about this. This plot development really made people feel relaxed.

It happened that when they returned home that day, Master Ye ordered his assistant to notify all the children and grandchildren in the family to come over for dinner.

Since the incident with the second wife, this was the first time that Master Ye had such an interest, so naturally everyone came to support him.

Moreover, Ye Lixuan was back this time, which was obviously a big deal. The atmosphere at home changed, as if it had returned to the past.

During the meal, no one dared to spoil the fun. As for the matter of the second wife Ye Lizhen, everyone tried their best not to mention it, and instead talked enthusiastically about this derby competition.

Today's Ye Tianhui is naturally different from the past. Whether it is in the upper class circles of Hong Kong or in the horse racing festival, her status is obvious to all.

Mentioning Ye Tianhui, everyone couldn't help but praise him.

In fact, it is more or less a sign of admiration. Obviously everyone knows that Ye Tianhui must be the next generation successor of the Ye family. At this time, it is natural to quickly please some, which can be regarded as seeking some benefits for the future.

Ye Tianhui just listened to this. She had heard countless flatteries in her previous life, so this was nothing.

Her experience in listening to flattery is that since others are willing to say it, it is to give her face, and she doesn't have to be embarrassed, just take it as it is.

But what to do next, no matter whether you pat the horse or not, they will all be treated equally, so those people will find that patting them seems to be in vain.

Who knew that while talking like this, Master Ye would bring up the topic: "By the way, after the Derby, Tianhui will go to England to study, right?"

He suddenly brought this up, and Ye Tianhui said, "That's the arrangement for now."

Master Ye nodded, "Then Shi Zhang will go with you?"

Ye Lixuan heard this and said, "Yes, I talked to Shi Zhang, and he will go with you, so we can rest assured."

Ye Lixuan had naturally been dissatisfied with Gu Shi Zhang in the past, but now that he had experienced so many things, Ye Lixuan naturally accepted his fate. Once he accepted the fact that Gu Shi Zhang was his future son-in-law, it seemed that there was nothing he couldn't accept.

At least Gu Shi Zhang was more reliable than most men in this world, and he couldn't be more relieved to have him accompany his daughter to study in England.

But now he obviously has a cold attitude towards Grandpa Ye. Although he gave Grandpa Ye a lot of face and accompanied him to eat this family dinner, his tone of voice was not enthusiastic, just perfunctory.

When they talked like this, the other children and grandchildren beside them all lowered their heads slightly, and no one interrupted.

In fact, everyone knows that Ye Lixuan is dissatisfied with Grandpa Ye now, but there is nothing he can do. He has emotions in his heart, and Grandpa Ye also knows that he is wrong, so he can only bear it. In fact,

it is funny to think about it. A person like Grandpa will have to bear his son one day.

At this time, Master Ye looked at his son and asked tentatively: "What are your plans for Tianhui and Shizhang?"

Ye Lixuan: "Plans?"

Master Ye: "Yes, I mean engagement. Tianhui will be 20 years old after the Chinese New Year. Even if she doesn't get married, she can consider getting engaged first."

Engagement?

Ye Tianhui was also surprised. She looked at Master Ye and said, "We haven't considered getting engaged yet."

In fact, she had guessed that Master Ye urged her to get engaged to Gu Shizhang just to make the marriage more real.

Since he wanted to hand over power to her, he naturally hoped that she could have a stronger backer and make him feel more at ease.

In fact, Ye Tianhui didn't have any aversion to the engagement, but she just thought it was unnecessary.

Whether she married Gu Shizhang or not, she believed that Gu Shizhang would help her. If that was the case, why bother to tie her down with marriage?

Ye Lixuan also said, "She's still young, don't worry."

Old Master Ye looked at Ye Lixuan and then at Ye Tianhui.

He sighed and shook his head, "Okay, let's talk about it first."

The father and daughter now have a tacit understanding.

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

Ye Tianhui was busy at the racecourse that day. The final round of the Derby will start in a few days. Naturally, she has to intensify her training between the competitions. In addition to the Hell King, she also has to devote some energy to the care of the two pregnant mares.

In fact, it was okay to have a light horse. It was just pregnant, so she just trained as usual and urged it to exercise more.

But isn't it that Zhao Guang has chosen a lazy horse, Teng Yunwu, as his spouse? Teng Yunwu, the eldest master, is lazy himself and thinks that his wife should be lazy too. He

loves his wife very much and secretly saves his hay and food at night to feed Zhao Guang.

This silly Zhao Guang is really obedient. He eats whatever Teng Yunwu gives him. After a while, it is obvious that he eats too much and needs to lose weight and exercise.

- After all, a pregnant mare cannot be fat!

Sun Jiajing and others tried to tell Teng Yunwu that the eldest master loves his wife but you can't love her so much. This is not loving her but harming her. However, who made him a horse? He can't understand human words!

Sun Jiajing was at a loss and tried to separate the two horses, but he angered the eldest master. Teng Yunwu was so angry that he made a whine sound from his nose and kicked his feet in the stable.

It was also a coincidence that a reporter came to interview him that day and spread the news of Teng Yunwu's anger. As a result, some horse fans came to protest and demanded that Teng Yunwu and Zhaoguang reunite.

For a moment, everyone was really at a loss for words. There was no choice but to quickly meet the eldest master's request and let the couple reunite. However, weight loss is necessary, dieting is also necessary, and exercise is even more indispensable.

If a pregnant horse does not exercise properly, it will be troublesome to give birth in the end.

For this reason, Ye Tianhui also devoted more energy to the horse farm. When she had nothing to do, she would accompany Teng Yunwu to run more often to let them exercise. At the same time, she specially customized special hay from Europe for pregnant women, which can provide nutrition without making the two horses fat.

Sun Jiajing and Lao Zhou breathed a sigh of relief.

Teng Yunwu now knows his identity and status very well. He is very proud. Most people can't control him, only Ye Tianhui can control him. He dare not make too much noise in front of Ye Tianhui.

That day, after Ye Tianhui had run a few laps with the horses, it was getting late and gray, as if it was going to rain, so she packed up and waited for Gu Shizhang to pick her up.

It was agreed that he would pick me up today, and we would go out to eat delicious food together.

Jessise happened to come over at this time, and he mentioned: "Jianquan just received a call and suddenly ran away, as if something important happened."

Sun Jiajing listened and wondered: "I've never seen this happen before, what happened?"

Jessise guessed: "Could it be that the Meng family is looking for him? Want him to inherit the family property?"

Everyone was naturally surprised to know that Lin Jianquan was the young master of the Meng family, and Jessise was the most shocked.

He sighed: "At the beginning, I worked with Miss Tianhui, and Miss Tianhui became a lady of the Ye family. I also hoped that I could become a rich kid, but I didn't expect that Jianquan did. It turned out that I was lucky for others."

His resentful look made everyone want to laugh, and now everyone joked that he might be a Portuguese prince who had fallen into the common people.

Ye Tianhui was puzzled when she heard this: "It must be the hospital calling, he should have rushed to the hospital."

Sun Jiajing: "It seems so, maybe he is sick again?"

Ye Tianhui looked at the sky outside, it was gloomy and it was about to rain, the wind blew from all directions, blowing the flags on the racecourse.

She ordered: "I will tell Assistant Yang to let him go to the hospital, you should also be alert, if Jianquan calls, take care of him if there is anything, and call me by the way."

Sun Jiajing: "Okay, I understand."

As he said this, he saw a car driving into the racecourse not far away, it was Gu Shizhang's car, obviously coming to pick her up.
