Chapter 30
She smiled at Grandpa Ye: "Grandpa, don't you think I am very similar to you in some aspects?"
Grandpa Ye looked at Ye Tianhui, a girl who looked a bit like his son and daughter-in-law. After a while, he looked at Ye Wenyin with difficulty: "Then Wenyin--"
When Ye Wenyin heard this, she burst into tears: "How is it possible, Grandpa, don't believe it, I am Daddy's biological daughter, your granddaughter, Daddy!"
She pursed her lips and stared at Ye Tianhui with grievance and anger: "Who are you and what are you doing here! You have made my daddy angry. If anything happens to Daddy, I will never forgive you!"
At this point, Ye Wenyin could only bite the bullet and gamble.
She wanted to gamble on her father's feelings for her, on the fact that this northern sister would become a disgrace to the family, on the fact that her grandfather would not want such a granddaughter, and on the fact that Ye Tianhui's tough temper was far less pleasing than her own!
However, Old Master Ye said, "Shut up!"
His voice was not loud, but it was deep, powerful and full of majesty. Ye Wenyin was startled, with tears on her face, staring blankly, and dared not say anything.
All the people present did not dare to breathe, and just stood there with their heads down.
At this time, Mr. Ye looked at Ye Tianhui with a serious expression: "Miss Ye, you can't say such things casually."
Ye Tianhui: "In order to reunite with the flesh and blood, I have said what I should say. If you unilaterally refuse to believe it and think that I am making trouble, then I have nothing to say. I will leave now. Just treat it as nonsense."
After saying that, she turned around and left.
Everyone watching from the side was surprised and didn't know how to react for a while.
But everyone saw that this girl named Ye was not someone to be trifled with!
At this time, Ye Lixuan suddenly said: "Stop!"
Ye Tianhui stopped.
Ye Lixuan suppressed the turmoil in his chest with difficulty and looked at Old Master Ye: "Dad, this matter needs to be investigated in detail."
Old Master Ye frowned and looked at his son.
As the father and son looked at each other, it was obvious that Old Master Ye had understood what Ye Lixuan meant. He had already believed more than half of the questioning of this little girl.
Ye Lixuan said in a low voice: "Maybe she really is."
Old Master Ye looked at Ye Tianhui again. This little girl who made him like her as soon as she appeared was brave, resourceful, courageous, and decisive in doing things.
Such a little girl could actually be his biological granddaughter?
Master Ye finally said, "Take her back first. We need to investigate the details."
***********
Master Ye was clearly shaken.
Ye Lixuan's words, Ye Tianhui's courage and determination made him begin to believe that perhaps Ye Tianhui was really his granddaughter.
He immediately ordered to block the news and took his family members and subordinates away from the racecourse.
Fortunately, when Ye Tianhui revealed the news, only the Ye family members were present, and Manager Hu was not there, so Master Ye gave an order to block the news. Before
there was a definite conclusion, this matter naturally could not be easily spread.
When the Ye family was leaving in a mighty stream, Manager Hu was just running over with the blood sample of the black rose. He saw that the Ye family was about to leave, and he was confused for a moment.
He hurriedly asked a secretary of the Ye family he was familiar with, but the secretary frowned and shook his head, signaling him not to ask any more questions.
Manager Hu was even more puzzled, and whispered, "That Ye Tianhui is the technical backbone of our horse farm. We want to focus on cultivating her."
When the secretary heard him mention Ye Tianhui again, she quickly winked at him, telling him not to say anything.
Ye Tianhui was really bold, and directly claimed that she was the daughter of the Ye family who was stranded outside. Regardless of whether this was true or not, Ye Tianhui could not continue to stay in the horse farm.
However, Manager Hu didn't know that he was still thinking about Ye Tianhui. Seeing the Ye family members getting on the stretched sedan and leaving in a mighty manner, he couldn't help but hang his head and sigh: "How can this be?"
At this time, Ye Tianhui had already got on a sedan alone under the arrangement of Mr. Ye, accompanied by two maids.
She naturally understood that Mr. Ye obviously had some intention of monitoring her.
This was an old man who looked kind at first glance, and he was such a kind and amiable person.
But once it came to the interests of the family, his face changed instantly.
However, Ye Tianhui had enough confidence, knowing that she should at least have a place in the Ye family, and no matter what method they used, they would settle her down.
After all, it seemed that Ye Lixuan had some feelings for his deceased biological mother. When she took out the earring, she was holding Ye Lixuan's heart.
As for entering the Ye family, it didn't mean that she had accomplished everything. As far as the situation of the Ye family was concerned, she still had a long way to go.
Ye Wenyin would definitely not give up, and Ye Lizhen was not a pushover either. There were still many people she needed to deal with.
But she was not afraid of anything. It didn't matter what these wealthy families were doing, whoever had the means could do it. As someone who had been on the battlefield, she was not afraid of this group of people. Anyway,
it was enough to have good food and drink, and fighting with these people was just a way to relieve her boredom.
She thought back on her series of actions and felt that it was quite successful. Everything was done to the best of her ability, and it was a fatal blow that would make Ye Lixuan feel guilty for the rest of his life.
No need to compensate too much, just remember to get more money from the Ye family.
She breathed a sigh of relief and leaned back in the seat with some comfort. The leather sofa seat was really comfortable. Luxury cars were indeed different, and they were many times better than the seats on the bus.
She closed her eyes slightly, thinking about today, and somehow she remembered some things from her last life.
For example, when she returned to the court to meet the emperor.
She remembered that year, slanders arose, saying that she had too many troops and was good at making decisions. She traveled thousands of miles back to Yanjing City to apologize, and the night she arrived in Yanjing City was a rainy night.
The sage summoned her to Yu's study that night. She asked her deputy general, who was both civil and military, to write a statement of the situation for her. She read it through and recited it before entering the palace to meet the sage.
She knelt on one knee in Yu's study and recited the statement of the situation with a sad and sincere voice full of emotion.
As she carried him like this, suddenly, the saint spoke: "Really?"
She bowed her head, knelt down, and said without hesitation: "Every word I say is from my heart!"
But the saint above did not speak for a long time.
Outside the window, the wind and rain blew against the window frame of Yu's study. Ye Tianhui could clearly hear the swaying sound of the palace lantern and the clear sound of the copper pot dripping.
She lowered her eyes and watched a drop of rain slowly fall on the jade floor tile along the sleeves of her battle robe.
After a long time, the voice of the saint sounded again from above: "The king is like heaven and earth, and all things depend on him for survival... I hear the sound of herding horses, thinking of the king's great grace, and can't sleep at night?"
Ye Tianhui listened, and said respectfully and sincerely: "I will work hard to repay the emperor's grace. I think about it day and night, and I wish I could die!"
However, her loyalty was only exchanged for an ambiguous "Oh" from the saint.
She was slightly startled, and looked over with some confusion, but saw that behind the desk, the saint was wearing a loose brocade silk cotton robe, and his black hair lazily hung on his shoulders...
It seemed that he had gone to bed and got up, and even crawled to the study without washing?
Is it appropriate to torture an emperor like this?
She blinked, wondering if she came at the wrong time?
At this time, the saint gently supported his chin with his thumb, and said with a smile that was hard to understand: "General Ye, you traveled thousands of miles and came to Beijing on a rainy night to disturb my sweet dreams, just to tell me that you are at the frontier, but your heart is with the king, thinking about him day and night, and you even can't sleep at night?"
The luxury car suddenly stopped, and Ye Tianhui paused.
During this pause, her thoughts were withdrawn from the distant memories, and she looked at the busy traffic outside the window.
However, the saint's elusive lazy smile still appeared in front of Ye Tianhui, making her blush and feel ashamed.
No one ever mentioned the slanderous words again. They disappeared without a sound. She went to the palace on a rainy night and spoke her heart out. In return, the emperor rewarded her with a wave of his hand.
But she was not happy.
At a certain moment, she was upset.
She felt that the memorial written by her subordinates was too outrageous, making her say unrealistic things like a fool!
But soon she felt that the saint had gone too far.
Why did he smile at her like that? Why did he pick on her between the lines? He clearly knew what she meant!
In the days that followed, when she was riding a horse, when she was reading at night in the military camp, or when she was looking out at the vast wilderness, the saint's eyes that night would occasionally appear in her mind.
Finally, one night, she woke up with a red face, clearly realizing that she might have been teased by him.
Ye Tianhui raised her hands and covered her eyes, trying to block the phantom that reappeared in front of her eyes.
She thought, she has lived her life again, the wars and battles she once had are already in her dreams, and the former majestic imperial power may have turned into a speck of soil beside the desolate imperial mausoleum. Who would care?
If he teased her, she didn't suffer any loss anyway.
As for Gu Shizhang, he does look like him, but so what, he is not, and if he is not, then he is not.
Even if he is, she will not admit it!
***********
The fleet of luxury cars finally stopped when they climbed halfway up the mountain. Ye Tianhui looked out the window. From the roadside signs, she roughly recognized that this was Repulse Bay. Based on her superficial knowledge of Hong Kong, Repulse Bay seemed to be a luxury residential area.
Looking forward, the luxury car seemed to be parked in front of a large courtyard. The wall of the courtyard was seven or eight meters high. You could vaguely see green trees inside, and the tops of off-white Western-style buildings were exposed.
It was obvious that this was a luxury residence, a place like a palace.
The car door was opened, and she was asked to get out by the security guard in a suit. Then she walked forward surrounded by two maids and two security guards, passed a heavily guarded iron gate, and suddenly saw a view in front of her.
This garden covers a large area, with wooden decks paved between the grass and trees, and colorful pebbles artistically scattered on the white stone paths. Various neatly trimmed precious trees were interspersed among them, lush and lush, showing the exquisiteness and calmness of this garden.
Ye Tianhui was surrounded by the security guard and the maid and continued to walk forward. She first entered a hall. The hall was decorated in an artistic style, with white leather sofas all over the place. It looked very expensive and empty.
Since she was reborn, she has been accustomed to the simplicity of Beijing. Occasionally, looking at the exquisite carvings on the red brick and gray walls, she can imagine the luxury of the old city.
But everything has passed away, leaving only a few traces.
But now that she is here, she understands that it is the same in any era. There will always be some people standing at the top of the pyramid, enjoying the luxury that the world can hardly imagine.
She was led forward, up the stairs, along the incredibly bright floor, through a corridor hung with various famous paintings, and finally arrived at a room.
A woman in a suit and with a bun who looked to be in her fifties came and introduced herself, saying her last name was Tan and she was known as Mother Tan.
Mother Tan smiled and told her to stay here first.
Seeing this, Ye Tianhui didn't ask anything.
Anyway, she would stay if she was allowed to. The Ye family was not an ordinary family, and Old Master Ye was not an ordinary person either. Now that he knew about it, he would definitely investigate. If
they wanted to investigate, let them investigate, and she would just wait for the result.
Before that, she didn't need to worry. In fact, the one who should be most anxious now was Ye Wenyin.
And her biological father Ye Lixuan.
At this time, Mother Tan stood up and was about to go out, but Ye Tianhui stopped her: "Mother Tan, wait."
Mother Tan turned around: "Miss Ye, do you have any other instructions?"
Ye Tianhui looked at Mother Tan: "I have a question."
Mother Tan smiled and said gently but unquestionably: "If you have any questions, just wait until Miss Ye sees the gentleman and ask."
Ye Tianhui: "But I just want to know, is there anything to eat here? I'm hungry."
She raised her eyebrows and looked at Mother Tan: "You guys don't want to starve me, do you?"
Mother Tan smiled slightly, looked at Ye Tianhui, and said: "Of course there is food, what does Miss Ye want to eat?"
Ye Tianhui said calmly: "The Ye family is a wealthy family. Don't they learn some hospitality skills? Are they so rude? They even asked me what I want to eat? I want dragon liver and pheasant gall. Do you have it?"
Mother Tan was silent for a moment, and then said: "It's not dinner time now. Miss Ye, would you like to have afternoon tea first?"
Ye Tianhui nodded and ordered: "Okay, order whatever you want, in case the food here is not to my taste."
Mother Tan looked a little strange: "What does Miss want? " What would you like to drink? Milk, coffee, or juice? "
Ye Tianhui: "Milk, pure milk, hot."
Mother Tan: "Okay."
Mother Tan went out for a while, and Ye Tianhui carefully studied the bedroom. It was a spacious guest room, luxuriously decorated, with a balcony. Standing in front of the wooden vertical floor-to-ceiling window, looking out, across the scenery in the yard, and the security personnel at the entrance in the distance, looking into the distance, you can see the sky is high and the clouds are light, and even the bay scenery of the Hong Kong River can be seen faintly.
This is really a Feng Shui treasure land with an excellent view.
She couldn't help but feel a little emotional. Before, she was nesting in Shenzhen, looking here from the coast, thinking about how to get here. Now she has finally succeeded and can look back at Shenzhen from the room in this villa.
She went back to the bedroom to study it, and found that the vase next to it seemed not to be an ordinary vase. The glaze was smooth and green-yellow, and it looked quite old. It must be an antique.
After all, she was born into a wealthy family in her previous life and had seen the world. She knew at a glance that this was a valuable ceramic.
Ye Tianhui couldn't help but sigh.
So for the Ye family, any guest room is decorated with valuable antiques? Then the paintings in the corridor along the way, couldn't they all be valuable Western paintings? If
a family like them really wanted to kick her out of the house, then if she just moved a brick and left, wouldn't it be enough for a few months of food money?
She sighed, studied it again, and found that there was a sliding door next to it. After pushing it open, she found that it was a bathroom.
This bathroom is more spacious than the room in the house she rented before. It is full of marble furniture, alternating between gold and white. There is a shower room and toilet on both sides, separated by a gauze glass wall.
There is a very luxurious round bathtub in the bathroom, which looks like it would be very comfortable to take a bath in.
She fumbled around in the bathtub and quickly figured out how to take a bath and how to do it conveniently.
When she was in the mainland, she naturally had never seen these things. She rented a house by herself, and the toilet was also very simple. She had never enjoyed such luxurious facilities, so she couldn't help but be eager to try. Soon
two Filipino maids came, carrying a tray with a cup of hot milk and various cakes. Ye Tianhui was very satisfied after seeing it, and asked them to arrange it on the small stone table on the balcony.
Ye Tianhui saw that they had finished the arrangement, and then said, "Please prepare new clothes for me, as well as bath towels and other supplies."
The two Filipino maids looked at each other.
Ye Tianhui looked at their confused expressions and suddenly realized that they had not spoken a word.
She pointed to the balcony, and they placed the afternoon tea on the stone table on the balcony, but in fact they might not understand.
In other words, the Filipino maids did not understand Chinese.
Ye Tianhui smiled and said in a calm voice, "If you don't understand, then learn it. Go out first."
She waved her hand, motioning them to go out. The two Filipino maids looked at each other and then left.
Ye Tianhui washed her hands and face first, then sat on the balcony, admiring the scenery outside and tasting the various delicacies.
At first glance, the pastries made by the Ye family look the same as those sold outside, but once you eat them, the taste is different. Ye Tianhui ate a mango glutinous rice dumpling and felt that the glutinous rice skin was soft and delicious without sticking to your teeth. The mango inside tasted very good. There were also banana cakes, pot cakes, and sesame rolls, each of which tasted unique.
She thought that maybe a family like the Ye family would have their own chefs, and they would carefully select good chefs.
In her previous life, Ye Tianhui's family naturally had good chefs, but she was away from home all year round and didn't stay at home much, so she didn't enjoy it much.
She drank milk, tasted the pastries slowly, and admired the scenery outside, which was very comfortable.
While eating, they heard a knock on the door. Ye Tianhui said calmly, "Come in."
It was Mother Tan who came in: "Ms. Ye, may I ask what you wanted me to do just now?"
Ye Tianhui said without turning her head, "Please prepare some new clothes for me. I want to take a shower."
Mother Tan: "Okay."
Ye Tianhui: "Also, next time don't let those Filipino maids who don't understand Chinese come over."
Mother Tan listened and looked at Ye Tianhui with a smile. "Miss Ye, you probably don't know that the maids are Filipinos, they all speak English, they don't understand Chinese."
Ye Tianhui said calmly, "Oh, in my Chinese territory, in the Ye family's house, if you don't know English, you don't deserve to eat?"
Mother Tan raised her eyebrows, "But they really don't understand Chinese."
Ye Tianhui looked very calm, she looked at Mother Tan, and said, "Then let the nanny who speaks Chinese come over."
Mother Tan was startled.
Ye Tianhui in front of her clearly had a calm expression, but there was an indescribable sense of oppression in her eyes, which made her feel that she could not resist.
She had only felt this feeling in Master Ye.
She had no choice but to say, "Well, then I'll arrange it."
Ye Tianhui nodded.
After that, she said slowly: "The servants in the house don't understand Chinese, so the owner and the guests can only speak English. If you dare to say such things in front of the old man--" But
she didn't say anything, just smiled at Mother Tan.
Mother Tan was speechless for a moment.
Ye Tianhui was right.
The old man was an old-fashioned scholar and businessman in the Republic of China. He had old ideas and traditions. He couldn't stand young people speaking a few words of English. Although many people working in Hong Kong government departments now speak Chinese and English, and ordinary people have begun to use some English words in their speech, the old man is very disdainful.
He believes that speaking English when dealing with the British and Americans is fine, but if the Chinese speak English on a daily basis, it means they have forgotten their roots. If he is asked to speak English at home, he will definitely be angry.
Seeing the look on Tan's mother's face, Ye Tianhui knew that she had guessed correctly.
She smiled and said, "You go out and get ready first. Wait for me to eat. I want to take a shower."
Tan's mother looked embarrassed, nodded, and went out.
**********
When Ye Tianhui had eaten and drunk her fill, a Chinese-speaking maid came in and brought her a change of pajamas and bath towels.
Ye Tianhui took those things to the bathroom and took a comfortable bath.
When she was in the mainland, she could only go to a bathhouse to take a hot bath. Later, she wanted to go to Hong Kong. She suffered a lot and was poor along the way. Even if she rented a house to take a bath, she could only stand there and take a bath. Because the surrounding environment was messy, she was always careful not to relax.
Now lying comfortably in the bathtub and taking a hot bath is naturally an indescribable enjoyment.
There is a light rose scent in the hot steam, which makes her a little drowsy.
She stretched her limbs comfortably, letting herself float in the water, feeling the sense of complete relaxation.
Closing her eyes slightly, she thought about herself in her last life, and also about herself in this life.
The honor and pride she once had, the persistence she once held on to, the passion she once fought for, the pursuit she once was willing to spend her whole life on, were actually nothing but passing clouds.
What she should do now is to lie down and enjoy life.
No matter what, she had to make herself eat something good.
After taking a shower, she wiped her body, blew and washed her hair, and then changed into pajamas that had been prepared long ago.
The pajamas were very soft, like mulberry silk, but not exactly like it. Ye Tianhui had never seen such fabrics before, she just thought it was good and must be very expensive.
When she walked out of the bathroom, she saw the Chinese maid coming again, bringing her some clothes, which looked like daily wear, including thin sweaters, trousers, coats, etc.
When Ye Tianhui saw these clothes, she understood that since her identity was unknown, Master Ye would not let her leave the Ye family. As for how to deal with it, he still needed to investigate and discuss.
Ye Tianhui didn't care about this. Anyway, there was food and drink here and she was comfortable. She might as well enjoy it first.
She sat in front of the dressing table and combed her hair while pressing the bell.
Soon, Mother Tan came. As
soon as Mother Tan came in, she saw Ye Tianhui sitting in front of the dressing table, wearing a loose silk pajamas. Her jet-black hair hung lightly on her shoulders, which made her lips look rosy and her skin as white as snow.
She was a little surprised.
Before, Ye Tianhui was dressed in rustic clothes and looked like a northern girl. She didn't expect that after she washed up like this, she was a beautiful girl.
Ye Tianhui saw Mother Tan come in, but she didn't say anything. She continued to comb her hair and let Mother Tan wait.
She had met many people, and she knew what kind of person Mother Tan was as soon as she saw her.
There were also such people in the palace. They thought that they were also officials because they served in front of the saint. They were used to using the little power in their hands to control others. They were submissive and fawning in front of the saint, but they were arrogant in front of the officials.
So she would not be polite to such people.
After letting her wait for a while, Ye Tianhui asked, "I want to go out for a walk. Do you have any recommendations?"
Her words were very ambiguous. "Go out for a walk" could be said to be in the yard or outside. After asking this question, it depends on how Mother Tan responds.
Mother Tan was slightly surprised and said, "Miss Ye, if you want to go out, we will have to send a car. I'm afraid it's inconvenient. The old master didn't mention it, and we dare not make the decision on our own."
Ye Tianhui chuckled, "Look at you, you think a lot. There are food and drinks here, and people serve you. Why should I go out? I'm just strolling in the yard."
After hearing this, Mother Tan realized that she had misunderstood, and said, "Miss Ye wants to stroll in the yard, that's of course fine, but you have to pay attention. Some places
you can't just go there." Ye Tianhui: "Okay, tell me everything."
Mother Tan then mentioned it. After all, some of the buildings here are the old master's office area. If he wants to meet important guests, etc., they, the servants, cannot go there without permission.
Ye Tianhui listened, nodded, and then asked other questions. Soon she found out that this big villa was fully equipped. There were several houses. This one was the guest room. Guests usually stayed here.
There was a gym and a library on the fourth floor of this villa. In short, all the facilities were complete. As for the telephone, there was one in the room, so she could make a call at any time.
Ye Tianhui thought it was good. It seemed that Mr. Ye didn't want to imprison her. She could make calls.
Of course, this old man probably didn't mind anything. After all, she came from the mainland and had no relatives. Even if she called the police station, the police wouldn't respond to her.
After Mother Tan left, Ye Tianhui went out to explore. The fitness equipment was really boring, and she didn't think much of it. She might as well practice some kung fu.
But the library was good. She looked around and picked out a few books about horse racing to take back to her room so she could read them when she was bored.
For the next two days, Ye Tianhui was quiet and didn't care about anything. She just asked for whatever she wanted to eat and whatever she wanted to play. After these two subtle confrontations, Mother Tan almost always agreed to her requests.
She also walked downstairs from time to time, but she didn't see anyone else from the Ye family after the area designated by Tan's mother. She studied it and found that the mansion was really big, and it seemed to be divided into areas. The Ye family members went out by taking the shuttle bus to the door, so it was not easy to meet them if they didn't go out for a walk.
It was better this way, so as to avoid the embarrassment of meeting.
Meanwhile, a team of doctors came in the morning and said they wanted to examine her and draw her blood.
She guessed that she must have a blood test, and estimated that some advanced technology in foreign countries could verify whether it was a biological child.
When drawing blood, Ye Tianhui recalled Ye Lixuan's look at the time. Was he convinced by her?
This surprised her a little. She thought he would be stubborn and not believe it until the last second.
She recalled how he had accused her of being mean before, and his eyes of disgust and rejection. How could such a man suddenly believe that she was his biological daughter?
It was quite interesting.
Ye Tianhui began to look forward to what kind of expression this father would have when facing her after the truth came out. Guilt? Or would he act as if he was your father and he was right?
After finally drawing blood, she returned to the room and was bored for a while. The waiting process was always boring. Now, except for the servant, she could not contact anyone else.
She could also pick up a book and flip through it casually.
While flipping through it, she saw a phone next to her, and her heart moved.
She thought of Gu Shizhang. Maybe she could give Gu Shizhang a call?
She thought that she had some feelings for Gu Shizhang. There was no need to play dumb about this. She did have some feelings for him.
But now she couldn't tell where this feeling came from. Was it because he was so much like a saint in temperament and appearance, so she wanted to deceive the emperor and covet the saint?
Or was it because she was alone and helpless, and when she met such a man who was nice to her, she began to have feelings for him?
Thinking of this, she was somewhat helpless. She didn't expect that she would start to worry about a man so easily.
But she still couldn't help it. She couldn't help but think again of that rainy night in Yu's study, the saint's meaningful eyes, and the way he smiled at her.
He did tease her.
This is the common ruler of the world, the emperor, but he also looks like a man.
A man who got up in his pajamas in the middle of the night
because he was startled by an urgent report. Maybe he was still dreaming and lost his sense of proportion? Or did this man drink before going to bed?
Ye Tianhui sighed softly. In fact, she never understood him.
She couldn't guess why her seven urgent letters didn't bring any food or fodder. Was there something wrong or did he want to kill her?
She and he were childhood sweethearts. They studied together in Yu Academy and practiced swordsmanship in Qinglong Mountain. However, the emperor was ruthless and she didn't dare to have any illusions.
After thinking about it, Ye Tianhui finally called Gu Shizhang.
I don't know if it was a coincidence, but the call was picked up immediately.
Ye Tianhui listened to the voice on the other end and didn't say anything.
Gu Shizhang: "Tianhui, is that you?"
Ye Tianhui smiled and said, "It's me."
Gu Shizhang: "Why are you calling me so suddenly? What's the matter?"
Ye Tianhui: "Nothing, just asking how you are doing in the UK?"
Gu Shizhang: "It's a bit tricky. I may have to go to the United States and it will probably take a few days to come back. How about you? How are you doing recently?"
Ye Tianhui: "As for me, I'm going to get rich."
Gu Shizhang: "Oh?"
Ye Tianhui smiled Ye Tianhui said, "I will soon become a big shot in the sky, so you should come back soon. Otherwise, if you come back too late, I will be successful and might not recognize you as my old friend."
Gu Shizhang laughed when he heard this: "What's the matter? How many lottery tickets did you buy?"
Ye Tianhui: "That's not it. I'll tell you when you come back!"
Gu Shizhang: "Okay, I'll wait to hear from you."
He laughed again and said, "I have some investments here. In fact, I came here to deal with investment issues. If I'm lucky, Maybe I can make a fortune, and when I do, I will go back and treat you to a meal at Zhang Lin Ji.
" Ye Tianhui: "Yes, remember the gift."
Gu Shizhang: "I know, little money-grubber, I can't forget your gift."
Ye Tianhui: "Since I have become a money-grubber, let me remind you, remember to buy me an expensive gift, otherwise you will live up to your reputation as a money-grubber."
Gu Shizhang smiled helplessly: "Just wait, I will move the Buckingham Palace in England back to you."
Ye Tianhui snorted: "This is just like saying I will work like a slave for you in my next life, it's all nonsense!"
Gu Shizhang: "Even if it's nonsense, it's good to say it out--"
His voice became meaningful: "How about you tell me one?"
Ye Tianhui: "What?"
Gu Shizhang: "Of course it's something nice, such as you will work like a slave for me in your next life, or you will remember me and come to find me."
His voice was teasing, but Ye Tianhui's heart suddenly tightened.
She clenched the phone receiver and said calmly: "Oh, why should I remember you in my next life?"
Gu Shizhang smiled nonchalantly: "I'm just talking, don't you want to remember me so much?"
Ye Tianhui's face flushed: "Who wants to remember you."
She said this, but there was no sound from the other side.
Across the overseas phone, she felt a moment of silence that made her nervous.
She closed her eyes and vaguely heard his breathing, which was clear, steady, and magnetic, hitting her eardrums, making her fingertips feel like they were electrified.
After a long time, his voice rang again, but it was low: "Is it about three o'clock in the afternoon there?"
Ye Tianhui said "hmm" very lightly.
Gu Shizhang: "Our time difference is seven hours. It's eight o'clock here in the morning. Outside my window--"
He smiled and said, "Looking out from my window, I see an old brick-red castle, old-fashioned black metal gas street lamps, it's raining outside, the ground is wet, and outside my window there's a white couple, they're holding a blue umbrella and walking on the street together."
Ye Tianhui imagined the scene, but she had never been to England, so she couldn't imagine it.
Gu Shizhang: "Do you want to listen to the rain outside?"
Ye Tianhui: "Can you hear it?"
Gu Shizhang: "Wait a minute."
Then, Ye Tianhui heard a rustling sound coming from the other end of the phone, and then she became quiet.
Then, she heard a very light "tick-tick" sound, moist and humid, ringing one by one.
Then, in an instant, the distant damp mist seemed to have a concrete shape.
She could even imagine Gu Shizhang in a suit, elegant and graceful, strolling on the streets of London with an umbrella.
She smiled and said, "I heard it."
Gu Shizhang: "Yeah."
His voice was mellow and pleasant: "This is the sound I hear every night in the past few days, and now you hear it too."
