Chapter 14

The audience at the racecourse cheered in surprise, and the old men in front of the TV all stared with their eyes wide open, holding their breath.

Everything seemed to be in slow motion, "Pianpian Ruyan" almost flew into the air, and after a difficult turn, its front hooves just landed on the ground, and then continued to sprint forward.

At this time, "Pianpian Ruyan" was already driving side by side with "Invincible Warrior", but left "Crazy La La" behind.

There were uncles who sighed and cried out in regret, while there were uncles who shouted with their hearts in their throats: "Invincible warriors, charge!"

The bald uncle who had also bet on "Pianpian Ru Yan" was originally frustrated by what everyone said about him. Now, seeing this scene, he suddenly became excited.

His face was flushed, and he stared at the TV screen without blinking, and shouted excitedly: "My "Pianpian Ru Yan", "Pianpian Ru Yan", come on!"

Ye Tianhui also held her breath and stared at the screen without blinking.

This was not a big deal. The importance of this matter was not even comparable to a small encounter in her previous life.

But now it was of vital importance to her. It was related to her money. She invested several hundred Hong Kong dollars, which was almost half of her property.

She must win back, she must win back.

A penny can make a hero fall. Now, for the once majestic general, the victory or defeat of a horse is related to her food, clothing, shelter and transportation!

The last few seconds became particularly long, and her heart seemed to stop beating.

She just watched "Gianpian Ru Yan" and "Invincible Warrior" go hand in hand, watching their galloping become slow motion in her eyes.

At the last second, finally, "Gianpian Ru Yan" suddenly stretched forward -

accompanied by incredible exclamations from the crowd.

Not to mention the audience on the TV, even the old uncles in front of the TV were all stunned.

Afterwards, everyone reacted: "'Pian Pian Ru Yan' won the first place? 'Pian Pian Ru Yan' is first?"

The bald old man stared at the field in a daze, then he jumped three feet high and shouted: "I won, I won! I won, my 'Pian Pian Ru Yan'!"

He shouted so hard that veins popped out of his temples, and his voice was deafening.

The old men who had criticized and educated Ye Tianhui before were dumbfounded: "This 'Pian Pian Ru Yan' actually won the first place?"

One old man almost wanted to cry, and slapped his thigh in annoyance: "Wrong, wrong choice! I'm so unlucky!"

Some people even hung their heads and were angry: "I'm so angry!"

Only the bald old man was almost dancing on the spot, which made the others very angry.

Ye Tianhui looked at this scene and finally breathed a sigh of relief.

She had eight bets. She won the first race, leaving her with only four bets left. Now she won the second race, leaving her with only two bets left.

The two bets depended on the last race.

If one of the two horses she selected won the last race, she would win the grand prize. Judging from the latest odds today, the odds were estimated to be several dozen times higher.

Even if she was unlucky and didn't win the first prize, as long as one of the two horses was in the top two, she would still get a consolation prize.

As for the next race, she was actually quite confident. She

stopped watching it at that moment. Since she wouldn't lose money anyway, she went upstairs first.

She wanted to continue studying the next bet. She

was actually too hasty and careless this time. She must study the rules carefully and try to make a big and sure bet next time.

Of course, she can contact Gu Shizhang when she has time to find a handyman. She can't just rely on horse racing. Otherwise, if she gets unlucky one day and loses everything, she will be hungry.

When she stood up, the other old men suddenly remembered and shouted, "Sister won. You also chose 'Pianpian Ruyan'!" As

soon as the old man said that, the others looked over. Everyone was envious and surprised.

One of the old men even asked, "Sister, do you have any tips?"

Ye Tianhui shook her head and said, "I don't have any. I just chose blindly."

After that, she said goodbye to everyone and hurried upstairs in the envious eyes of everyone.

***********

The last race seemed to be scheduled for a later time, a twilight race, so Ye Tianhui read magazines in her room, studied horse racing, and studied the situations of the jockeys.

Horse racing is like fighting a war, you have to study the weather, the location, and the people, and you also have to study probability, permutations and combinations, etc. Fortunately, she went to school during this era and learned these in high school. Although she may not have learned them very well, she has some concepts and can deal with the calculations.

There will be many opportunities in the next horse racing season. Since she won the first prize and made some money, she must work hard to make good progress, step by step, and double her money bit by bit, and strive to make a fortune through this season.

After that, she would settle down and find a job, or try to study here or something - of course, the premise is that she can earn some money to support herself in school.

At noon, she casually flipped through the box and took out a piece of barbecued pork from the box given by Gu Shizhang. Then she took it and heated it up to eat with salty porridge.

I have to say, although it is the same barbecued pork, the one in the Jockey Club tastes better. Both the ingredients and the cooking methods are probably top-notch, and it is many times better than the ones sold in street stalls.

————It seems that you still need money. In this world of glitz and glamour, only rich people can enjoy delicious food.

After eating, she buried her head in her study for a long time. Suddenly, she heard cheers from downstairs, so she tilted her ears to listen. However, the noise was too much, and she couldn't make out anything, so she had to go downstairs and take a walk. Soon she knew the result of the evening race.

Of the two horses she bet on, one won first and the other came in second.

In other words, she only had two bets left, one for the grand prize and one for the consolation prize.

Ye Tianhui was not too excited about the result.

The race she watched on TV downstairs in the morning had already overdrawn her expectations. If she won that race, she would have already won.

Now it was just a matter of settling down.

The money was about to be in her hands, and she relaxed. She looked at the time and saw that it was still early. There were still the sounds of mahjong and laughter outside. She was not in a hurry to go to bed, so she took out the old magazines she bought. There were quite a few about the Gu family and the Ye family. She flipped through them one by one.

The old magazines that Ye Tianhui got were mainly various street gossips, various melodramatic gimmicks, and sensational headlines. The colorful headlines looked unreliable at first glance.

However, from the lines, Ye Tianhui still learned some information about the Ye family.

Ye Laoyezi, Ye Tianhui's grandfather, originally had a first wife in his hometown Beijing, but when he went to study in London, he fell in love at first sight with a female student from mainland China who was studying abroad. After that, he returned to Beijing from London and brought the female student back as his second wife. In the early 1940s, he went from Beijing to Hong Kong and married two more wives in Hong Kong. He also had quite a few wives who were not properly married and kept outside.

In short, Ye Tianhui's grandfather can be said to have been a playboy all his life, with many wives and concubines, and naturally many children.

Ye Laoyezi had a total of seven sons and three daughters. Among them, the eldest son and the third son were born to the first wife in Beijing, which was called a legitimate son in the past - of course, we don't care about that now.

The eldest son died young, and Ye Tianhui's biological father was the third son of the legitimate family. When Ye Tianhui was born, the first wife had long passed away, so there were naturally some intrigues in the big mansion.

Ye Tianhui speculated that the Ye family hurried to Hong Kong to develop, but only the third young master and the third young mistress were left, and it was estimated that there were some intrigues.

She looked through it again, searching for information about her biological father, the third young master of the Ye family, Ye Lixuan, but there were only a few words, mentioning that Ye Lixuan had returned from studying abroad and taught at the University of Hong Kong, engaged in physics teaching.

This biological father seemed to have some achievements in scientific research. He was once selected as a member of the Asian Young Scientist Program, and was specially hired as a professor by a famous American university. He also won a scientific research award.

She couldn't quite understand it, but she felt that her father was engaged in scientific research and had some achievements.

This was good news for her. According to her observations over two lifetimes, scholars in her time were always noble and adhered to some principles, while modern people, intellectuals, at least allowed themselves to maintain a certain bottom line as a human being - never mind whether it was true or false, at least that was how it seemed.

This kind of people pay attention to their integrity, and pay attention to not eating the food they complain about.

If he manages to recognize a biological daughter like himself, the other party shouldn't be too cold-blooded, right?

She continued to read on. The rest of the gossip was about the three generations of the Ye family, that is, her blood cousins. Today, the third son kept a little star, tomorrow the fourth wife participated in a charity gala and auctioned something, the day before yesterday, the second wife had a lavish birthday and some upper-class people came to celebrate, etc.

Of course, the possible marriage between the Ye family and the Gu family is now the focus of these magazines.

Not only because the Ye family is a well-known family in Hong Kong, but also because of the status of the Gu family in Hong Kong.

The Gu family's ancestral home is Fujian. They immigrated to Malaysia in the early years. In the early 1930s, they shifted the focus of the family business to Hong Kong. In recent years, the Gu Group has developed rapidly in Hong Kong. The family business involves real estate, finance, hotels and other fields, covering Singapore, Malaysia and Hong Kong.

Ye Tianhui looked at the unfamiliar words in traditional Chinese characters and slowly read: "... a multinational conglomerate that integrates real estate, banking and financial services. Its stocks have been listed in Europe, America and Singapore."

She continued to read: "Now their family assets have reached an astonishing number. It can be said that they are the leader in Southeast Asia."

It looks amazing...

She continued to look through other magazines and finally found the situation of Gu Zhihan after searching for a long time.

The head of the Gu family, Gu Kanyuan, studied at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology in his early years, and then studied for a doctorate in business economics at Harvard University. He is now the chairman of the Hong Kong International Chamber of Commerce.

As for Gu Zhihan, he is the grandson of Gu Kanyuan, the head of the Gu family. His name is Gu Zhihan. Gu Zhihan was sent to a top American university when he was young. This year, he returned to Hong Kong to work after obtaining a degree. In order to avoid family leniency, he first interned in a friend's company, hoping to accumulate experience before working for the Gu family.

From the reports, Gu Zhihan is obviously quite good, and his appearance is really stunning, but his temperament is really bad, and his good looks are wasted.

Ye Tianhui continued to read on, slowly flipping through these gossips, and saw that the media used an exaggerated tone to describe it, saying that "Gu Group controls the lifeline of the Three Kingdoms."

In comparison, the Ye family is naturally far inferior to the Gu family. If Ye Wenyin can marry the son of the Gu family, it will be of great help to her.

In this way, Ye Tianhui roughly guessed the situation of the Ye family.

A person like Mr. Ye, who was able to maintain the family business in the turbulent times and was able to decisively avoid risks at critical moments, shows that he is a decisive and courageous person. Such a person must see the greater family interests.

Whether a granddaughter is real or fake, maybe in his eyes she is just a tool.

This tool can be used to get close to the Gu family, then it is useful. She is his own granddaughter, and he will naturally value her.

As for a bloodline that is lost outside, not raised by his family, and not sure if it is useless, he does not care too much about such a granddaughter. Even if he cares, he is not so anxious, after all, he still has many granddaughters.

Besides, the head of such a big family usually favors boys over girls. She is just a granddaughter, not a grandson.

With this speculation, Ye Tianhui has no great interest in going to the Ye family to recognize his relatives.

The Ye family is a big family. There must be some factional struggles within such a big family. There are conflicts of interest and comparisons between the branches. These are all possible.

Now it is clear that if he goes back, it will inevitably affect the position of Ye Wenyin, the daughter of the Ye family.

The Ye family and the Gu family were married, and the Ye family actually wanted to cling to the Gu family. If that was the case, then her appearance would be an insult to the Gu family, and would make the Ye family lose face in front of the Gu family.

In other words, her appearance would damage the interests of the Ye family and might make the Ye family a laughing stock. In this case, the Ye family's indifference to her was understandable.

In the eyes of a wealthy Hong Kong family like the Ye family, a northern sister from the mainland would definitely not be on the stage, and the granddaughter who was carefully raised by her was the useful one.

She subconsciously disliked Ye Wenyin, so there was no need for her to shamelessly approach her, but to be criticized by others.

As for her biological father,

she could try to contact him privately. After all, they were blood relatives. If he had some affection for her, she could see his attitude. Whether he acknowledged her or not, it wouldn't be a bad thing to at least get some benefits from him in private.

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

The next day, Ye Tianhui got up very early. He first looked around and saw that there was no one around. When the betting station opened, he was the first to enter.

She won a three-point prize and two three-point consolation prizes. After the betting station owner verified it, he said congratulations in a row: "Congratulations!"

After congratulations, he quickly calculated the odds for Ye Tianhui. Because "Pianpian Ruoyan" was a surprise this time, Ye Tianhui's combination was rarely selected, so the odds were particularly high, as high as one to ninety-three.

Although only one-eighth of the three hundred Hong Kong dollars won the prize, the return was still very considerable because of the high odds, not to mention that there were two consolation prizes as a bonus.

After some calculations, she probably won 12.5 times the prize. After the betting station owner calculated it for her, she finally exchanged nearly four thousand Hong Kong dollars.

After redeeming the bonus, the boss was naturally very happy. He congratulated her repeatedly and asked her if she wanted to continue betting.

At this time, other customers also came one after another, and everyone looked at Ye Tianhui with envy.

Ye Tianhui didn't want to cause trouble, so she refused immediately and naturally didn't dare to bet again. She walked out with the four thousand Hong Kong dollars.

She wanted to continue betting, but she would definitely not continue to bet in this betting station. In fact, she now has experience. The next time she bets, she will have to go to several betting stations and spread out. In this way, even if she makes money, it will not attract too much attention.

Who knew that as soon as she walked out of the betting station, she was stopped by someone. Standing in front of her were several gangsters.

Ye Tianhui looked over and found the two leading the group familiar. She had met them a few days ago. They were obviously stalking her a few days ago, and now they were here to pick a fight.

They were either wearing colorful Hawaiian shirts, had hair gelled all over their heads, had tattoos, had cigarettes in their mouths, or even had metal chains on them. They looked like they were not good people.

They stopped Ye Tianhui, tilted their heads and looked at it, and then said with a smile: "Beautiful girl, you won the prize, have you made a fortune?"

Ye Tianhui said calmly: "Yes, you have made a fortune."

After saying that, she took out two hundred Hong Kong dollars from her pocket: "I won the lottery. There are two red-shirted fish here. I'll treat you all to a drink, so please accept it."

A man who knows the current situation is a hero. Ye Tianhui can deal with Li San, or he can deal with a bad guy, but in such a group, she doesn't want to fight hard.

She has always known what it means to be able to bend and stretch.

Who knew that the flowery shirt sneered: "You made a lot this time, right? Two redwood fish, and you just want to shut our mouths? Are you sending the beggars away?"

As they spoke, these people moved forward, and seven or eight young and Dangerous boys surrounded them.

Ye Tianhui remained calm, quickly observing the positions of these people, and plotting the next escape route in her mind.

These guys were probably all martial artists, and they might even have guns. If she had beaten these people seriously in her previous life, she would naturally not have taken it seriously, but she had not trained much in this life, so there was a difference in her physique.

A good man does not suffer a loss in front of him. If there was a big commotion, with his current temporary resident status, she would be the one to suffer in the end.

Since they didn't care about the two hundred yuan, he could only run away.

However, it was obvious that these people were also experienced. A group of people approached from different directions, almost blocking all her roads, and she could not escape even if she had wings.

Seeing this, Ye Tianhui sighed, and then reached into her pocket, and then said: "In this case, I'll give you the money. I'll spend it to buy peace, okay?"

The gangster saw this and laughed: "He who knows the current situation is a hero!"

Ye Tianhui nodded, and then took out a handful of money from her pocket, and the moment she took it out, she suddenly threw it behind the gangsters.

The gangsters saw colorful banknotes flying all over the sky, and immediately rushed to catch them.

At this time, Ye Tianhui suddenly jumped up, and took advantage of their unpreparedness, and whooshed out from between the two of them.

These people were caught off guard, and when they looked closely, they found that what they were holding was actually colorful advertising papers. They were furious and chased after them!

Ye Tianhui didn't dare to stop and ran forward. She wanted to run to Hong Kong, and she actually put in a lot of effort to practice. She would get up every morning to run, otherwise she wouldn't have the energy to swim across the harbor.

But the problem was that those gangsters were not pushovers. They obviously did this kind of business every day and were familiar with the area.

Ye Tianhui suffered this loss. Although she also looked at the terrain, she never thought that after passing through the high-rise buildings, she would accidentally turn into a street corner. There were small stalls and vendors everywhere, and there were grocery stores everywhere, and people carrying baskets and carrying baskets!

It was inevitable that she would bump into things when running around on this street, which caused a group of people to be dissatisfied. However, the gangsters behind her were familiar with the place and chased after her.

Ye Tianhui had no choice. She knew that if she fought hard, the other party had weapons and she would suffer.

It would be fine if the other party robbed her of her money, but she was a girl and she could not bear such an insult! As

she ran, she saw a foundation church in front of her. There were stairs leading up the mountain. They were so dense that she could not see the top.

She saw that the people behind her were catching up, so she could only climb up.

Who knew that as soon as she climbed up the stairs, she saw a figure coming out from the side. The man pulled her aside and said, "Follow me!"
