Chapter 118

Lin Jianquan encountered such an unexpected change in the past two days, which indeed planted a big variable in the Derby. Facing the strong enemy's encirclement, the Hell King's chance of winning is not high.

However, what Ye Tianhui did not expect was that the people inside the Ye family did not say anything. Instead, several brothers and sisters of the Ye family came to comfort Ye Tianhui, saying that no one could have expected that Lin Jianquan would have such a thing, and it was impossible for him to win all the time, so it was okay if he lost.

It seems that at this moment, these brothers and sisters of the Ye family are still united, and no one wants to add insult to injury.

Of course, from Ye Tianhui's point of view, they finally recognized the situation, so they began to accept it, and after accepting it, they also knew what was best for them.

She likes smart people, so at least they can avoid fighting among themselves.

After dinner, Ye Tianhui also chatted with Old Master Ye. It seemed that Old Master Ye was also somewhat relieved. If he had been somewhat worried about the family affairs before, he could now feel relieved. It

can be said that he was relieved to hand over the Ye family to Ye Tianhui, and Ye Tianhui would take care of it in the future.

He also mentioned the engagement between Ye Tianhui and Gu Shizhang, saying that Old Master Gu had already mentioned it to him, and both old men hoped to settle it as soon as possible.

Anyway, Ye Tianhui had already discussed it with Gu Shizhang, and he didn't have any objections.

Seeing this, Old Master Ye became more interested and wanted to find Old Master Gu immediately to discuss the specific matters of the engagement.

He said very nonchalantly: "What kind of derby is this? If we lose, we lose. It doesn't matter. Anyway, we won the last season. The key is to organize our engagement party well!"

Ye Tianhui saw that Old Master Ye was full of energy and didn't look sick at all. He looked like he could live for another few decades. It was a little funny to think about it.

But besides being funny, she was also a little relieved.

In fact, she was naturally dissatisfied with Old Master Ye at first, but now that they have been together for so long, she must admit that this old man has his problems, but he also has his advantages. No one is perfect. At least at this moment, everyone can still be a kind grandfather and a filial grandson. This is enough.

Ye Tianhui had been immersed in the racecourse for the past two days. That night, because the derby was the next day, she and several capable assistants reviewed the possible strategies of the other teams for the last time, and continued to deduce and simulate, looking for their own way to defeat the enemy.

When the meeting ended, it was already late at night.

She touched the light-shielding ears soothingly, and went over to educate Teng Yunwu, and then planned to leave.

Who knew that when she walked out of the stable, she saw Lin Jianquan standing under the banyan tree next to the stable.

It was a moonlit night, and the moonlight shone through the gaps in the banyan tree and fell on Lin Jianquan's face, which made his eyebrows and eyes calm and peaceful.

He was tall and thin, and he looked like a handsome young man.

Ye Tianhui stopped and just watched quietly.

When they first met, he was thin and weak, but now, in just a short time, he seems to have grown up.

At this time, Lin Jianquan spoke up: "I'll take part in tomorrow's competition."

Ye Tianhui: "Oh?"

Lin Jianquan whispered: "I've talked to Zong Wan, this is his chance, he's willing to give it to me."

Ye Tianhui's expression was calm, she looked at him calmly: "How long have you not trained a horse?"

Lin Jianquan lowered his eyelids: "It's been six days since I last trained a horse, but it doesn't matter. I believe in the tacit understanding between me and the King of Hell, and I believe in my previous training day and night. These are engraved in my bones. I also believe that as long as I hold the reins and climb on the horse, I can immediately return to my previous self, and there will be no inferiority."

Ye Tianhui looked at him silently, looking at this stubborn boy.

It was already late at night, and the racecourse was particularly quiet at night, with only the occasional rustling of hay coming from it.

He stood there so stubbornly and quietly, the weak light from the window of the stable stretched the shadow of the banyan tree and him far away.

Ye Tianhui sighed softly: "Although you only won last season, I believe that the prize money you have won and the reputation you have accumulated, even if you are not rich, if you live a simple life from now on, it is enough to ensure that you will have no worries about food and clothing for the rest of your life. Since this happened, maybe it is an opportunity for you to retire."

She paused and added: "I will arrange a position for you, responsible for logistics work or horse management work, your future will not be bad."

Hearing this, Lin Jianquan's eyelashes suddenly raised and his eyes fell on Ye Tianhui's face.

Then he saw that at this moment, Ye Tianhui had a kind of tenderness that was compassionate and pitiful.

At this moment, his heart was washed by the surging emotions.

This almost suffocated him.

He looked at Ye Tianhui and said in a very soft voice: "Why, why do you arrange me like this, can't I be a jockey anymore, I already-"

His voice became humble: "Am I already so useless? Are you going to give up on me?"

Ye Tianhui chuckled, her smile was light and gentle: "Don't think so, Jianquan, do you still remember, when you first entered the horse farm, I asked you at that time, asked you why you wanted to be a bug, I wanted to persuade you to leave, how did you answer me?"

Lin Jianquan was stunned, he recalled what Ye Tianhui had said at that time.

Ye Tianhui: "I've said before that the road of a cricket is not easy. The road of a jockey may seem glamorous, but in fact, you have to endure so much suffering that others cannot endure. No matter how much suffering you have to endure, you have to swallow it yourself, and only let people see the glamorous side. It's okay when you are young,

but when you are a little older and can't control your weight, you will be squeezed out by others. Your career may be interrupted at any time. Even at the most glorious time, you may face career injuries. This road is not easy to walk." Ke Zhiming is a precedent. He is Ke Zhiming, who is admired by countless crickets and is the legendary Ke Zhiming in Hong Kong. However, there are so many hardships behind him, not to mention those whose names are unknown.

This road has never been easy to walk. Even though Lin Jianquan has already emerged, his future is not easy.

She sighed, "You also said at the time that you were on this path for your mother, for her, and you only hoped that there would be a ladder to success, so that you could take a shortcut and let your mother live a good life."

Lin Jianquan was silent.

Ye Tianhui: "We have known each other for a while, and now that I have this ability, I will give you a choice, a way out. Now you can go back and work from nine to five, earning a stable salary. You also have the bonus savings from before, so you can live better than ordinary people."

Lin Jianquan lowered his eyes and never spoke.

At this time, the night wind blew, bringing with it the mellow aroma of grass and the faint smell of sweat. This was the breath of the horse farm.

After a long time, he finally spoke: "But, I want to stay, I want to continue to be a jockey, I don't want to give up."

Ye Tianhui looked at him and asked, "Why?"

Lin Jianquan said in a low voice: "I originally chose to be a bug boy for money, to be able to become famous and have a family, to be able to embark on a road of success. Now that my mother is no longer in this world, I should really give up, but I don't want to, I-"

He finally said: "This time it's for myself, I like being a jockey."

Ye Tianhui He sighed softly: "Look at the jockeys, how many of them come from wealthy families, but aren't most of them forced into this path because of poverty? Do you think those rich people are stupid? Don't they know that they can become famous and wealthy by being jockeys, or are they just stupid? They don't have the talent to be jockeys?"

For example, Meng Yinian and Gu Shizhang, they were both excellent jockeys, but didn't they give up when they were a little older? At least they would no longer specialize in speed racing, but just treat it as a hobby.

Lin Jianquan raised his eyelashes and looked at her: "But I like it, I like the feeling of being on horseback."

He smiled: "When I was very young, I was born thin and weak. I was chased and beaten by others. I tried to resist, but it didn't work. I was just not as strong as others. No matter how much I hated it in my heart, my body was just weak and I just couldn't do it. Later I rode on horseback. At first I was scared because I couldn't control it. I was afraid that I would fall to death and I was afraid that they would be out of control. But now, I can do it."

Ye Tianhui looked at him silently. She saw the moonlight shining into his eyes, his eyes were very bright.

Lin Jianquan: "I ride on the horse's back and become

one with the horses. Their innate strength allows me to break free from the constraints of my innate abilities." He smiled and said, "When I ride a horse, I feel like we have become one and a stronger being. I use my brain to strengthen its thinking, and it uses its body to strengthen me. This makes me enjoy a feeling I have never had before, as if I have wings and I can fly."

He looked at her, pleading with sincerity: "I like it and I want to do it. This time it's not for anyone else, but for myself."

Never before has he known so clearly that the speed of running on the track is the scale of his life.

Ye Tianhui sighed: "If you are really a smart person, you should learn what it means to retreat while the going is good. This is your best chance to get out."

Lin Jianquan looked at her silently, then he chuckled: "But I'm not smart enough."

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

The Hong Kong Derby is the ultimate battle of the classic race for four-year-old horses. It is also an event that every racing horse can only participate in once in his life. The opening scene is naturally lively. Before dawn, photographers come with long guns and short guns, and horse fans from all walks of life flock to the scene. As soon as the racecourse opens, those horse fans rush in like a tide.

Ye Tianhui stood in the luxurious VIP room, watching the horse racing fans pouring in. Most of them were wearing brightly colored clothes, holding small flags or slogans in their hands, and rushing forward desperately.

Even from a high place far away, one could still feel the passion.

Today was the final round of the Derby, the final battle. There were a total of ten horses participating in this competition. Each of these ten horses was a precious horse that had passed five levels and killed six generals. Now they gathered together to compete for the four-year-old horse king throne that only comes once in this life.

The enthusiasm of the audience could be felt. It was said that the number of spectators today would set a record high for the Derby in the past six years. This was also the popularity brought by the King of Hell.

In addition to Ye Tianhui, other families also took their seats. The one who came from the Ning family was Ning Jize. Ning Jize even came over to greet Ye Tianhui, smiling and praising her for being very pretty, like a famous TVB actress who has recently become popular.

When he said this, the assistant beside him quickly winked at him.

The actress had filmed a third-level movie before, and it was said that she was involved with a wealthy businessman. The one in front of him was the eldest daughter of the Ye family. It was not a decent analogy. She might even slap him in the face in anger.

Ye Tianhui said calmly, "Mr. Ning is in a good mood and has a special liking for the eight o'clock drama. My maid's grandmother also likes to watch it. When you are free one day, Mr. Ning can communicate with the grandmother. Maybe they can have some common language."

Ning Jize glared at this and was so angry.

Ye Tianhui was insulting him.

He was so annoyed, but Ye Tianhui ignored him and smiled and went to his seat.

Coincidentally, the person sitting next to him was Meng Yinian.

Meng Yinian obviously saw the scene next to him and sighed, "I have always admired Miss Ye's teeth, and now I admire them even more."

Ye Tianhui smiled and said, "Compared to my teeth, maybe you admire my kung fu more, but it's a pity that I can't use it."

She rubbed her hands lightly, "I just hope that one day someone will come and offend me, and see how I will skin him."

These words were said coldly, but they were full of intimidation.

The people around heard it and their scalps tingled, and they immediately felt that they were going to be skinned.

Many people looked at Ning Jize. Is Ning Jize an idiot? How dare he make fun of Ye Tianhui? Is she the kind of person who can be teased casually? It's

what she deserves!

Ning Jize, who was standing by, also had a bad look on his face.

He naturally didn't dare to offend Ye Tianhui. After the Queen's Cup Mountain Bike Race, Ye Tianhui became famous. Who dares to offend such a Ye Tianhui? She is already the queen of Hong Kong horse racing.

He said this today just casually. Most women would feel helpless when they encounter such words, but they couldn't find any big problems. In the end, they could only endure it. He thought it should be like this. The reaction was too big. Everyone could just make a joke. Why bother?

I never thought there would be such a Ye Tianhui. How could she be so aggressive?

Now she is compared to a maid and threatened by rubbing her hands. He couldn't say a word and could only hold it in his heart.

He sneered and thought about the next Derby. The King of Hell has been arrogant for a long time. Now the jockey's mother has passed away. I don't believe that the jockey can be adjusted well if the jockey is replaced temporarily, so it's his turn to fall.

No one can win all the time, not even the King of Hell.

Ye Tianhui sat there, too lazy to pay attention to Ning Jize, and began to watch the excitement on the field with interest.

This annual horse racing event is indeed grand enough. A Derby Cap is given to all the entrants as a souvenir, and there are also Hong Kong beauty pageant champions and popular singers who sing famous songs for the audience at the variety show.

In addition to these, a well-known international movie star came as the Derby ambassador to cheer for the racecourse and the horses participating in the Derby. Jiang Lingfeng, as a rising star, also came with the senior.

Ye Tianhui saw it from a distance, but Jiang Lingfeng was guarded by a group of fans and obviously didn't care about anything else. He was interacting with the fans there.

As she was watching, she saw Meng Baohui coming over.

As soon as he came in, his eyes fell on Ye Tianhui first.

He looked at Ye Tianhui with a complicated look.

After the incident with Lin Jianquan's mother, he refused to admit it for the sake of his man's face. He thought that the matter would be vaguely passed. As for the fate of the mother and son, he had already cruelly denied it, so he didn't want to think about it.

After all, he still felt disgusted and repulsive after thinking too much.

So he never cared at all, so he didn't know that the child had actually climbed out of the mud pit and grew up, let alone that he actually walked into the horse farm, got into trouble on the spot, and defeated the precious horse that their Meng family had carefully cultivated, and became famous all over the world!

Regret, there is some, but more of it is anger out of shame, anger for the old things being reopened, and dissatisfaction with Lin Jianquan.

Of course, he couldn't stand Ye Tianhui even more. If it weren't for her, how could things have come to this point?

For a moment, he curled his lips, but asked his son: "How are the two horses in our family prepared?"

Meng Yinian heard this, his eyes were a little helpless.

His father is just like this, and he can't do anything about it.

He had no choice but to say, "Very good."

After all, he had to maintain a good relationship with Ye Tianhui, and he still wanted to win over Lin Jianquan, so he couldn't have a bad relationship with Ye Tianhui no matter what.

Besides, after Ye Tianhui mentioned it at the meeting of the Jockey Club, the whole horse racing circle now knew that the warriors under Ye Tianhui were the blood of their Meng family, and that Ye Tianhui had done a great favor to the descendants of the Meng family.

The Meng family couldn't go too far, and they had to remember this for the sake of face.

Who knew that after hearing this, Meng Baohui turned his head and looked at Ye Tianhui: "Miss Ye, Jianquan encountered this kind of thing. I'm afraid he can't participate in the competition today. It's really unfortunate."

He sighed: "But there is no way. I went to see him yesterday. Jianquan's condition is really not good. In this case, he should take a break. It's really not good to force himself to go to the court."

Meng Yinian became more helpless when he heard this.

Why did he say it as if Lin Jianquan had already recognized his relationship? He didn't recognize it at all!

The people around were also surprised. Everyone knew about this bloody story of the rich family, but they heard that Lin Jianquan didn't recognize this relationship at all. Why did it sound like he recognized it?

If he did, then Lin Jianquan would become Meng Jianquan, and the Meng family would naturally be able to establish themselves. The Meng family would obviously have to pay the penalty no matter what. By then, Ye Tianhui would be without such a talented jockey, and the pattern of the Hong Kong horse racing family would change.

Ye Tianhui chuckled when she heard this, "Why do you say that, Mr. Meng? Did you go to see Jianquan yesterday?"

Meng Baohui took a sip of tea to cover up, and then said, "Yes, I went to see him yesterday. He was not in good condition. There was nothing we could do. He is a filial son."

Everyone pricked up their ears at this time. Hearing this, they could not help but speculate, thinking that it seemed that he was really going to admit it?

Who knew that at this time, they heard a sound of footsteps, walking over lightly and evenly.

The footsteps were so distinctive that everyone subconsciously looked over.

Everyone was surprised to see that it was Lin Jianquan.

Lin Jianquan was wearing a black riding suit, with a thin waist and a slender figure, like a javelin.

He pursed his thin lips slightly, his face was slightly pale, and his pair of dark eyes were expressionless.

He seemed to completely ignore the surprised eyes of the crowd and walked straight to Ye Tianhui.

Meng Yinian frowned.

Meng Baohui was so surprised that the teacup in his hand almost fell.

Lin Jianquan stopped, bowed his head and looked at Ye Tianhui respectfully: "Mr. Ye, I'm coming."

The eyes of the people around him patrolled back and forth between Lin Jianquan and Meng Baohui, and then everyone found that Lin Jianquan didn't even look at Meng Baohui.

He simply ignored his biological father!

Ye Tianhui nodded: "Are you ready?"

Lin Jianquan: "Ready."

Ye Tianhui nodded slightly, and then said: "You know all the seniors present here, say hello to everyone, and then go down to prepare for the game."

Lin Jianquan: "Okay."

Meng Baohui's face turned ugly, especially ugly.

His biological son, in front of so many people, obeyed Ye Tianhui's orders!

Lin Jianquan didn't even look at Meng Baohui, he walked straight to the Jockey Club Chairman Feng and greeted him, his voice didn't have much emotion, but it was not impolite.

Chairman Feng said hurriedly: "Jianquan, you are very strong to be able to participate in horse racing at this time."

Lin Jianquan greeted the others, and everyone had to flatter him.

Everyone knew that Lin Jianquan had just experienced the pain of losing his mother, and it would be too hypocritical to say too many nice words at this time. He could only comfort and encourage him solemnly and implicitly. Besides

, there was Meng Baohui next to him, who was Lin Jianquan's biological father, staring at him with wide eyes.

Lin Jianquan greeted everyone for a while, but Ning Jize next to him suddenly said: "Mr. Lin is currently mourning his mother's death. I wonder if he has the energy to participate in horse racing under such grief?"

He seemed to suddenly remember something: "Oh, by the way, Mr. Lin hasn't had any horse training for a few days, right?"

Upon hearing this, Ye Tianhui sipped her tea leisurely and didn't even bother to say a word.

In her heart, she was thinking, although Zhou Wanlan's cheating was indeed inappropriate, Ning Jize was really not presentable, too not presentable, marrying such a person, she must have endured it all the time, and it must be very uncomfortable to endure it...

At this time, everyone heard Lin Jianquan say: "I have rested for six days."

Rested for six days...

You know, for ordinary jockeys, there must be no slackness. If you don't practice for one day, you will know it yourself, if you don't practice for two days, the racehorses will know it, and if you don't practice for three days, all the fans can see that this jockey is rusty.

Ning Jize heard it, and his face was a little proud. He glanced at Meng Baohui and Ye Tianhui beside him and opened his mouth to speak.

Who knew that at this time, Lin Jianquan had already turned around and said to Ye Tianhui: "But don't worry, Mr. Ye, I will definitely win, and our King of Hell will definitely be able to ascend the throne of the four-year-old horse king."

Ye Tianhui chuckled and nodded: "Wait and see."

Lin Jianquan finally looked at Meng Baohui at this time. This was the first time he set his eyes on Meng Baohui's face after entering the field.

So at this moment, the two looked at each other.

Meng Baohui saw the contempt, disdain and arrogance in Lin Jianquan's eyes.

His heart suddenly paused, and his fingers trembled.

This young man clearly told him with his own words in front of the public that he was determined not to look back, and he wanted to serve Ye Tianhui all his life.
