Chapter 16

Ye Tianhui was also surprised: "Why are you here?"

Gu Shizhang: "I have a friend who works at this university. I came to see him for something. I didn't expect to meet Miss Ye."

He looked at her with a smile: "What about you, why are you here?"

Ye Tianhui didn't want to mention her great cause of adopting a father, so she said casually: "I just took a look. The campus here is really beautiful."

Gu Shizhang looked at the campus. At this time, the autumn wind had risen, and the purple and red petals of the Bauhinia trees fell from the trees, floating all over the ground. The campus seemed to be covered with a layer of petals snow, which was really beautiful.

He retracted his gaze and asked Ye Tianhui: "Do you like this place?"

Ye Tianhui: "I can't really say, I just think it's fun. I've never seen such a place."

Gu Shizhang looked at her: "If you like it, you can come here to study if you have the chance in the future."

Upon hearing this, Ye Tianhui shook her head quickly: "No way! I'm not cut out for studying."

Gu Shizhang saw that she was avoiding him as much as possible: "Really? Didn't you want to bet on horse racing before? Did you place a bet?"

Ye Tianhui: "I bought it."

Gu Shizhang: "It looks like you won?"

Ye Tianhui nodded vigorously and said with satisfaction: "I won a little."

Gu Shizhang saw that her cheeks were slightly puffed up, and she looked very satisfied as if she had gotten an advantage, so he laughed dumbly.

He smiled and said, "You can even study horse racing tickets, so it's not difficult to study."

Horse racing tickets have complicated rules. You have to study the weather, the location, and the people, study the horses and jockeys, and calculate the odds. If you can understand horse racing tickets, you won't find it difficult to learn anything.

Ye Tianhui said, "That's not the case! Studying horse racing tickets is different from studying horse racing tickets. Studying horse racing tickets can make money."

Gu Shizhang sighed, "Okay, Have you eaten yet? How about I treat you?"

Ye Tianhui: "I have already eaten. I just had dinner with a friend!"

Gu Shizhang: "Oh, friend?"

Ye Tianhui nodded, but didn't say anything more: "Yes, we just had something to eat."

Gu Shizhang was silent for a moment, and said: "I haven't eaten yet. I wanted to treat you to dinner, but I didn't expect that you had already eaten with your friends."

Ye Tianhui: "..."

She was also a little helpless. She looked around and supplemented: "Do you drink coffee? I'll treat you to coffee. Look, there is a cafe over there."

Gu Shizhang looked at her with his dark eyes and asked with a smile: "What do you like to drink? Coffee?"

Ye Tianhui shook her head honestly: "I don't like it, it's not tasty at all!"

Gu Shizhang: "Then why did you treat me to something you don't like?"

Ye Tianhui: "..."

She looked at him and snorted: "I'm kind-hearted and want to treat you to something good. Drinking coffee is very trendy. I usually can't bear to drink it myself!"

Gu Shizhang: "I don't like the coffee in that cafe. It must be not tasty."

Ye Tianhui: "You have such high requirements!"

She quickly thought that he was here to find friends. He had friends on the university campus, which showed that his social circle was very high-end.

Coffee seemed very trendy and rare to her, and she had never drunk it before, but he might not be rare at all.

Gu Shizhang: "Let's go, let's eat something else, you treat me."

Ye Tianhui: "Okay..."

The two walked along the street for a while. For some reason, Gu Shizhang was a little silent and didn't talk much.

Ye Tianhui turned her head to look at Gu Shizhang. He was wearing gold-rimmed glasses that hid his slightly sharp eyebrows. He looked gentle and calm, with a hint of dignity.

Although the times were different and the attire was different, this profile still gave Ye Tianhui a sense of familiarity.

For example, in the study, when the young emperor lowered his eyes and flipped through the memorials, and the beads on the crown fell, there was a depth between his high eyebrows that Ye Tianhui could not understand.

Occasionally, he would smile at Ye Tianhui and be very easy-going, but Ye Tianhui could never ignore his powerful majesty, the kind of power that could easily shock civil and military officials.

Gu Shizhang felt Ye Tianhui's gaze, and he looked at her: "What's wrong?"

Ye Tianhui retracted her gaze and shook her head: "Nothing... You, are you nearsighted?"

Gu Shizhang: "No, but I'm used to wearing glasses in this season."

Ye Tianhui: "Is that so."

She didn't quite understand, but she didn't want to ask in detail.

Gu Shizhang: "Have you thought about what to treat me to?"

Ye Tianhui: "Oh..."

He was really rude, and he actually insisted on asking her to treat him to dinner.

She was helpless and said frankly: "Just tell me what you want to eat. I'm new here, and I haven't eaten anything good. I can only treat you to a bowl of chicken wings. Do you want to eat?" She

subconsciously felt that Gu Shizhang was not someone who could be fooled by a bowl of chicken wings.

Although he seemed to be just a horseman, Ye Tianhui still felt that it was a blasphemy to let him sit on a bench at a roadside stall to eat chicken wings.

Maybe he looked too much like a saint, and that was the admiration engraved in Ye Tianhui's bones.

Gu Shizhang's eyes swept over her lightly: "Did you treat people to chicken wings just now?"

Ye Tianhui: "Yeah, it was quite delicious."

Gu Shizhang: "So you treated others to chicken wings just now, and now you want to use chicken wings to get rid of me?"

Get rid of?

Ye Tianhui: "You can't say that, I'm sincere, just tell me what you want to eat, if I can afford it, I will definitely treat you, no doubt!"

Gu Shizhang looked at her like this, and chuckled casually.

He smiled at her: "Are you worried that I will cheat you and let you treat me to delicacies?"

His laugh was surprisingly pleasant.

Ye Tianhui felt a little dazed when she heard it. She gathered her thoughts and shook her head: "I have to thank you for what happened that day. If you insist on cheating me, I can only accept it."

Gu Shizhang: "Don't worry, I won't cheat you too much."

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

He really didn't seem to be interested in the cart noodles and bowls of chicken wings on the street, but fortunately, he didn't ask her to go to a fancy restaurant, but just to a small shop on the roadside.

Although the decoration of this shop was OK, but based on her experience, she felt that this shop was not too expensive, and estimated that it was only a little more expensive than the street vendors, so she was relieved.

After getting the menu and looking at the price list, her heart was completely at ease. She immediately became generous and smiled sincerely, saying to Gu Shizhang: "Are you hungry? It's my treat today. You can eat whatever you want. Just order it!"

After that, she added generously: "You can pack it up if you can't finish it!"

Gu Shizhang's slender fingers gently pinched the menu and looked at it. Hearing this, he lifted his thin eyelids and looked at it. She: "Are you generous now?"

Ye Tianhui said generously: "Friendship is priceless, a drop of water is returned with a spring of water, whatever you want to eat, I will pay for it even if I am stingy, just order it!"

Gu Shizhang smiled: "Okay, then I won't be polite."

So Gu Shizhang ordered several dishes, including fried crab in the typhoon shelter, black pepper beef ribs, dry fried beef river boat porridge, etc., and also asked for apricot juice stewed eggs.

The dishes were ready, and the chef started to cook. The restaurant was not big, even if you sat by the window, you could vaguely feel the smoke rising from the kitchen, the open pot was on a high fire, and the pots and spoons were clinking, which was very smoky.

Gu Shizhang looked at Ye Tianhui and asked with a smile, "How much did you earn?"

Perhaps due to some subconscious instinct, Ye Tianhui did not hide anything and reported her achievements honestly.

Gu Shizhang looked at Ye Tianhui with a faint smile in his dark eyes and listened attentively.

Listening to this, he suddenly spoke: "What about the next race? Do you have any ideas?"

Ye Tianhui: "I have some ideas, but I'm not sure."

Gu Shizhang: "Oh? Why are you not sure?"

Ye Tianhui sighed: "The rules of horse racing are too complicated and there are too many things to pay attention to. If you don't calculate well, you will lose. I thought I could win every battle with my horse-selection skills, but now it seems that it's not that simple."

Gu Shizhang said: "You obviously won a race, but you are still calm and not a little impetuous. This kind of mentality is rare."

Ye Tianhui muttered: "I'm just getting started..."

Gu Shizhang was originally wiping the tableware with his eyes downcast. Hearing her words, his movements paused slightly.

Her voice was soft and mumbling, and there was a hint of the naivety of a little girl.

It was a very familiar voice,

and his memory was pulled back, as if he had returned to the distant past.

He raised his eyes and glanced at Ye Tianhui in the dim light of the restaurant.

She was young and bright, and her buds were about to bloom. Her clear eyes expressed all kinds of emotions, frustration, expectation, and desire.

She was so frank that she was defenseless.

Gu Shizhang's eyes softened inch by inch.

When he spoke again, he said in an extremely gentle voice: "You still have a lot to learn, but it doesn't matter, you can take your time."

Ye Tianhui held her chin, looked at him and said: "I have a lot of things I want to ask you."

At this time, Gu Shizhang had unprecedented patience: "Well, for example?"

Ye Tianhui: "It's those odds and those rules... I know them now, but I still feel that I don't understand them thoroughly enough."

Gu Shizhang: "You want to learn about horse racing systematically."

Ye Tianhui: "Yes, yes, so is there any way to do this?"

Gu Shizhang thought about it for a while, "In fact, the Jockey Club has now set up a public racing school where you can learn equestrian knowledge and horse care knowledge, including horse racing knowledge. If you are interested, you can sign up to participate. The price itself is not cheap, but now there is an internal employee recommendation quota, which can provide a very favorable discount."

Ye Tianhui tentatively said, "...how favorable?"

She certainly understood that equestrianism is a relatively high-end sport in Hong Kong, or an aristocratic sport. It is not something that ordinary people can afford, so the teaching price must be expensive.

Gu Shizhang looked at her cautious look and naturally guessed her thoughts: "I know a friend who may have an internal quota. If so, I estimate that the entire course will cost about 5,000 Hong Kong dollars?"

5,000 Hong Kong dollars?

Ye Tianhui frowned: "It's too expensive, this is absolutely impossible! I don't have that much money."

Seeing this, Gu Shizhang said, "You can also go to the horse farm and be a stable assistant, but it will be a bit harder."

Ye Tianhui: "Stable assistant? What are the responsibilities of this job?"

Gu Shizhang: "Cleaning the stables, preparing materials, and cooperating with the rider and trainer to prepare for morning exercises."

He continued to introduce: "At the beginning, you can only be an apprentice assistant. The salary is estimated to be not high, but after working for about a year, you can take an exam."

Ye Tianhui: "Another exam?"

She found that it was obviously a riding job, which was a physical labor, but there were exams here and there, as if you couldn't do this kind of job without taking exams.

Gu Shizhang: "Of course. You need to take a qualification exam. Once you pass it, you can stay in the stable and become a formal stable assistant. Your salary will increase. At the same time, if the horse you are in wins the race and gets a prize, all the employees in this stable will have a certain percentage of the share, so the stable assistant will also share the bonus."

Ye Tianhui's eyes lit up: "Share? That's good!"

Gu Shizhang: "You want to do this?"

Ye Tianhui nodded repeatedly: "Please introduce me to it. I want to do it. This is also a hobby for me. It's better than unloading goods at the dock."

Unloading?

Gu Shizhang looked somewhat helpless: "You..."

He sighed softly and said helplessly: "Then I'll find out about this job for you, but now our racecourse is fully staffed, so we can only ask other private racecourses. Are you willing to go?"

Ye Tianhui nodded repeatedly: "Of course, any racecourse will do, as long as you can get into this industry."

Gu Shizhang smiled and said: "Okay, I'll ask my friends in the same industry and try to find a position to squeeze you in."

Ye Tianhui nodded repeatedly: "Okay, okay! Thank you first!"

At this time, the food finally came up, Gu Shizhang: "Eat first, I'm afraid you're hungry again."

In fact, Ye Tianhui was no longer hungry, but the dishes ordered by Gu Shizhang were very appetizing. Besides, it would not be good for her to watch him eating, so she also tasted a few bites. After tasting it, she had to say that it was better than the ones sold in the stalls outside.

Gu Shizhang pushed the apricot juice stewed egg white in front of her and said that it was ordered for her.

She didn't hesitate to take a bite. It was very tender and mellow, with a strong taste of apricot juice and fragrant milk. She was satisfied with the meal.

Gu Shizhang raised his eyes and saw that she was enjoying the meal.

He didn't say anything else, just looked at her quietly.

Ye Tianhui had almost finished eating when she remembered something: "By the way, do you read newspapers regularly? Do you follow gossip about wealthy families?"

Gu Shizhang was obviously puzzled: "Why do you suddenly ask this?"

Ye Tianhui wiped her lips and said, "Do you know the Gu family? They have the same last name as you! I mean the Gu family, the richest family in Hong Kong."

Gu Shizhang glanced at Ye Tianhui indifferently.

He considerately picked up the tissue and handed it to Ye Tianhui, then said slowly: "I know, their family business is very big."

Ye Tianhui: "What about the Ye family?"

Gu Shizhang: "I know too.

" Ye Tianhui: "Tell me about it!"

Gu Shizhang raised his eyebrows slightly: "Oh?"

Ye Tianhui asked: "For example, their family marriage, that Ye Wenyin, the daughter of a rich family, didn't we meet at the racecourse that day? Is their two families a marriage of interest? Is Ye Wenyin very favored, she is very outstanding, right? And the Gu family, is the Gu family very rich? How rich are they?"

She threw out a lot of questions in one breath.

Gu Shizhang looked at her excited look: "So what you really want to know is Ye Wenyin and Gu Zhihan, right?"

Ye Tianhui: "..."

He was so perceptive that he could see through her thoughts directly.

She was a little embarrassed, but still said, "More or less. Miss Ye is pretty. She was kind enough to give me some snacks the other day. Is she dating Gu Zhihan?"

Gu Shizhang held the chopsticks elegantly with his long fingers and said, "Actually, I have been away from Hong Kong for many years. When I was in South Africa, I had nothing to do with Hong Kong. After I came back, I was busy with business and horse racing. I am not familiar with their situation. I just heard some rumors, which were also related to horse racing. Now I know something about it."

He said lightly, "But I don't know whether it is true or not. I will just say it for the time being and you can just listen to it for the time being."

Ye Tianhui: "Then tell me."

Gu Shizhang: "The Ye family has always been a family of three . They used to be in the consumer goods industry in Shanghai and Beijing in mainland China, producing and selling daily necessities and daily care products. In the 1930s, they expanded their business to Hong Kong. In the 1940s, they moved here with their family and have been engaged in daily necessities. Their business is pretty good, and they have gained some reputation abroad in recent years."

Ye Tianhui: "Then their business is booming."

Gu Shizhang: "But a few years ago, Mr. Ye's son got older and handed over the family business to his eldest and second sons. The two new officials took office and invested the funds in the real estate sector."

He paused, looked at Ye Tianhui: "You know the development of real estate in Hong Kong in recent years, right?"

Ye Tianhui was at a loss, shaking his head. Head: "I don't know."

Gu Shizhang said: "Starting from the past few years, Hong Kong began to demolish old houses and build new ones. The real estate price rose very quickly. Let me tell you in detail. In 1960, one square foot in Central was only 800 Hong Kong dollars, but in 1963 it doubled to 2,000 Hong Kong dollars."

Ye Tianhui was amazed: "This is simply a money grab!"

Gu Shizhang: "Because the land price rose too fast, a lot of hot money poured in. Singapore, Malaysia, the Philippines, and Australia all had their hot money, so the real estate was hot, and the Ye family fell into this pit."

Ye Tianhui didn't understand: "Since the real estate was hot and the land price rose, they did this Isn't it to make money? How did they fall into the trap?"

Gu Shizhang looked at her with a smile: "Because they used loans, high leverage, and borrowed money to buy land, so once there is a problem with real estate, the bank will be in crisis, and these land grabbers will also fall into the trap."

Ye Tianhui suddenly realized: "It's like borrowing high-interest loans to buy horse racing tickets!"

Gu Shizhang nodded: "Yes, so the funds of the two brothers of the Ye family had liquidity problems, and Master Ye had to step in again to take charge of the situation. When you went to the racecourse that day, did you see the daughter of the Ye family and the young master of the Gu family?"

Ye Tianhui: "Yes."

Gu Shizhang: "The sixth young lady of the Ye family has loved equestrianism since she was a child, and she studied at Nottingham Trent College, her undergraduate major is horse racing and business management, which is a major designed specifically for the horse racing industry. According to the time calculation, she has been enrolled for two years, and this year is the last year. This time she came back to Hong Kong, it should have two purposes, one is to help the family, and the other is to complete her graduation project practice. "

Ye Tianhui listened, a little confused: "You mean, the Ye family is going to enter the horse racing field?"

She read a lot of gossip, but there was no mention of this aspect.

Sure enough, those gossips didn't have anything serious.

Gu Shizhang: "Yes."

He said slowly: "Didn't I mention the real estate development in Hong Kong just now? The Ye family wants to enter the real estate field, but there is a lack of new hot spots at the moment. They have accumulated a large piece of land in Shatin. Now they need to increase the value of these lands, and the method they need to use is horse racing."

Ye Tianhui: "How to increase it?" Gu Shizhang: "More than ten years ago, the Hong Kong government carried out a reclamation project in To Kwa Wan and connected Haixin Island to To Kwa Wan. Just a few years ago, they built Haixin Park. In this case, the value of Haixin Island has increased significantly, right?" Ye Tianhui: "How to increase it?" Gu

Shizhang: "More than ten years ago, the Hong Kong government carried out a reclamation project in To Kwa Wan and connected Haixin Island to To Kwa Wan. Just a few years ago, they built Haixin Park. In this case, hasn't the value of Haixin Island increased significantly?"

Tianhui: "They bought the island and want to reclaim land?"

Gu Shizhang nodded: "Yes, the Hong Kong government wants to reclaim land now. There are currently two options, one is Yuen Chau Kok, and the other is Stonecutters Island, a naval base next to the Kowloon Peninsula. As for which one the government will choose, there is no final decision yet."

Ye Tianhui's mind turned quickly and soon understood: "Now Hong Kong's racecourse is in Happy Valley. The government wants to build a new racecourse and vigorously develop the horse racing industry to stimulate the economy. However, this kind of racecourse requires a large area of ​​vacant land, so the government chooses to reclaim land and build it around a certain island?"

Gu Shizhang's eyes flashed with admiration, he smiled and said: "Yes, so you naturally guessed that the Ye family happened to spend a lot of money to hoard such a large piece of island land. They must find a way to intervene in the horse racing industry to compete for their own island to become a reclamation planning site. After reclamation, this land will be included in the functional site for horse racing development."

Ye Tianhui: "Nowadays, there are luxury houses near Happy Valley, and the prices are very expensive. There are cemeteries there, but they are still so expensive. If a new horse racing functional site is developed, then the land they have hoarded will naturally be a rare commodity."

Gu Shizhang: "Yes, the housing prices around Happy Valley have been skyrocketing in recent years. Now that the government intends to develop a new horse racing economic center, it is naturally something that everyone wants to fight for. "

Ye Tianhui: "Which island is the Ye family's? Who are they competing with?"

Gu Shizhang smiled and said, "There are several big families in Hong Kong. These people work together to control Hong Kong's economy. They are the Gu family, the Ye family, the Meng family, and the Liang family. Now you know the situation of the Gu family and the Ye family. How much do you know about the Meng family?"

Ye Tianhui thought about it. The gossip she read seemed to mention the Meng family. She recalled: "Their ancestors ran gold shops and silver shops, and also did some foreign exchange trading. They were mainly based in Guangzhou. They came to Hong Kong before liberation, and now they have begun to get involved in the real estate field?"

Gu Shizhang: "Yes, the Ye family invested heavily and occupied Yuen Chau Kok in Shatin, and the Meng family bet a lot of money on the The two families in Chuen Chuen Island are also old friends, but now that both have invested a lot of money and there is a lot of profit to be made, it is inevitable that there will be a rift. Now they are competing openly and secretly. "

Ye Tianhui: "Ye Wenyin is studying horse racing in the UK. She should not have returned to China. Is she returning to China to help? Because the two families will compete in the next horse racing season, this is related to the planning dispute of the horse racing land later. "

Gu Shizhang nodded: "Yes, horse racing originated in the UK, but it took root and grew in Hong Kong. In recent years, the enthusiasm of the people to participate has increased greatly. Now Hong Kong has successfully established a Jockey Club. The club currently has a chairman and six members to handle daily affairs, how to choose the racecourse in the future, and how to arrange the horse racing. The committee naturally has a lot of say."

Ye Tianhui: "Does the Ye family want to join the Jockey Club?"

Gu Shizhang: "Yes, the Ye family has tried their hand in the horse racing field a few years ago, but the results were not satisfactory. Now the chairman of the Jockey Club is old, and the six committee members are also facing retirement. The wealthy circles in Hong Kong are all eyeing this position."

He smiled and said: "In this circle in Hong Kong, reputation is social capital. Among the major families in Hong Kong, whoever can stand out in the next horse race and prove his influence in the horse racing industry will naturally be able to join the Jockey Club and gain the initiative in the horse racing venue."

Ye Tianhui listened to this and naturally had many plans.

If I just bet to gain profits, not to mention the small-scale bets, I might lose everything if I am not careful, which will not last long.

Now the Ye family is naturally going to develop the horse racing business, so wouldn't it be a good opportunity for me to show my strengths? It seems that their daughter doesn't necessarily have to be a princess married to a foreign country, so I can still fight for the identity of a rich lady.

She thought about it and became curious again: "Since the Ye family wants to go the horse racing route and develop their influence in the horse racing world, why is it involved with the Gu family?"

Gu Shizhang glanced at her indifferently.

Ye Tianhui felt that his eyes were not right, and wondered: "What's wrong?"

Gu Shizhang's eyes were slightly mocking, and he smiled: "If you want to know about the Gu family, you can ask directly, there is no need to go through such a big circle."

Ye Tianhui: "...I just want to know more!"

Gu Shizhang continued: "The head of the Ye family has always been steady in doing things. The Meng family has also invested in horse racing in previous years. The Ye family has just entered this industry, so naturally they dare not bet their lives on horse racing. The marriage with the Gu family is a way out for the Ye family."

Ye Tianhui was thoughtful.

Gu Shizhang took a sip of tea and stopped talking.

Ye Tianhui suddenly asked, "There was a man named Gu Zhihan who went to the horse farm that day. It seems that he is the marriage partner of the Ye family."

Gu Shizhang nodded, "Yes, you met him last time?"

Ye Tianhui: "Yeah."

Gu Shizhang said without any expression, "He seems to be mixed-race. His mother is British."

Ye Tianhui: "Oh."

Gu Shizhang raised his eyebrows, "What are you thinking about? Are you thinking that he is quite good-looking?"

Ye Tianhui was a little surprised to hear this, but she still admitted honestly, "He is quite good-looking. The first time I saw him in a magazine, I thought he was the prince charming in the fairy tale."

Who knew that after she said this, she felt that the air seemed to be a little colder.

She raised her eyebrows in confusion, "What's wrong with you? Are you feeling unwell?"

Gu Shizhang said indifferently, "Nothing."

Ye Tianhui was a little confused. She didn't understand what was wrong with him and was a little embarrassed for a while.

In order to ease the embarrassment, she had to lower her head to eat and took the snacks on the table.

After finishing two pieces of cake, she finally felt something was wrong. She drank a sip of tea to moisten her throat and continued to ask: "That...why don't you tell me more."

Gu Shizhang's expression was cold: "What?"

Ye Tianhui coughed lightly: "I'm curious, the Ye family, the Gu family, or the Meng family, it's all fine."

Gu Shizhang expressionless: "So interested?"

Ye Tianhui: "Well, I am quite interested. These Hong Kong wealthy families are too new to me. I have never heard of such stories."

Gu Shizhang was silent for a moment before he spoke again, but he said: "I don't know much. After all, I have left Hong Kong for a few years, but the Gu family The marriage with the Ye family should be inevitable, which seems to be the agreement between the elders of both sides. "

Ye Tianhui: "You just mentioned the eldest and second sons of the Ye family, what about Ye Wenyin, which branch is she from?"

Gu Shizhang: "She is from the third branch, and her father is Ye Lixuan, the third son of Mr. Ye."

He paused and said: "Ye Lixuan teaches at the University of Hong Kong, which is the university we just went to."

Ye Tianhui immediately became interested: "How old is this Ye Lixuan? Is he very handsome? Very talented? I see many students like him and admire him!"

Gu Shizhang frowned and looked at her with an indescribable look.

Ye Tianhui: "I'm curious. When I heard those students talking about it, I just don't understand. What's so good about a middle-aged man?"

Gu Shizhang: "Professor Ye is not yet 40 years old. He is in his prime and has made achievements in his professional field. It's not surprising that he is admired by young students."

His tone was exceptionally calm, so calm that there was no disturbance.

Ye Tianhui: "So is he good-looking? Does he look young?"

Gu Shizhang: "It's just so-so. After all, as you said--"

He raised his thin eyelids, looked at her and said: "He is in his forties, and his daughter is already that old. He will be old in a few years."

Ye Tianhui agreed: "That makes sense. Even if he is not old, his daughter is already that old. He must not be very good-looking." He must

look like a father.

Gu Shizhang nodded: "Yes, that's right. Besides, he is a university professor, teaching and educating people. He is usually obsessed with learning. Can you imagine that kind of stern and serious look?"

A father who teaches and educates people?

Ye Tianhui suddenly felt a chill on her back. The

scenes of following the princes and princesses in the Shangshuzhai and listening to the prince's tutor's lectures on the sutras appeared before her eyes.

She took a deep breath and sighed, "He is like this!"

It is better to stay away from such a father!
