Chapter 39

Ye Tianhui has arrived at the Ye family now, but she hasn’t told Jiang Lingfeng yet. She can bring more food and go to Jiang Lingfeng tomorrow, or just go to the squatter’s house to see Jiang Lingfeng’s grandmother and sister!

The next day was her second class match, but after looking at the schedule, it was scheduled for the evening, a dusk match.

She was not in a hurry and planned to go out for a walk today.

She packed up a little and found a letter. This was written by her last night, to Feng Suqin, and she planned to find a chance to send it back to the mainland. She

tied her hair into a ponytail and asked Sister Li to prepare some cakes for her - the cakes at home were better than those sold outside, and she wanted to take them to Jiang Lingfeng to taste.

Who knew that just as she was about to leave, Aunt Tan came over.

Perhaps because she came to convey the old master's order, she was particularly reserved, with her chin slightly raised, looking at Ye Tianhui and said: "The old master has ordered that there are important guests. Miss Tianhui, please make some preparations and dress yourself up. Go to the old master later and the old master will introduce you."

Her eyes swept over Ye Tianhui's sportswear, and a trace of picky contempt appeared in her eyes: "Please choose a presentable one, Miss Tianhui."

Ye Tianhui was not surprised by her attitude.

When she was in ancient times, those powerful maids and eunuchs were very arrogant, and they were also like this in front of some unfavored little princesses in the palace.

But of course she didn't need to tolerate such a person. Now that she had entered the Ye family, she would definitely not suffer such anger.

She said, "Mother Tan, since you are the one who conveyed the old man's words, then you should make it clear what the specific situation is. Don't be vague. Otherwise, if it gets out, people will think that Mother Tan, who is old, is not as smart as a little girl and can't speak clearly."

After hearing this, Mother Tan knew that Ye Tianhui was not someone to be easily dealt with, so she said, "It is said that they are guests from old friends, one of whom is from overseas. The old man attaches great importance to them and wants Miss Tianhui to meet them."

As she said this, she looked Ye Tianhui up and down and said, "When meeting such guests, you must be polite and courteous."

Ye Tianhui: "Old friends?"

Mother Tan said, "Yes."

Ye Tianhui looked at Mother Tan's expression and guessed what she had.

Suddenly, a family friend came to visit, saying that they were important guests and asked her to meet them. They must be the Gu family.

If she had any plans for the Gu family's marriage, it would be a great opportunity. Mother Tan deliberately kept it vague and didn't tell her the truth. Did she want her to miss this opportunity?

She smiled and couldn't help thinking that the Ye family had many factions, and she didn't know what the lady was thinking when she looked at her unmoved appearance.

When she looked at Mother Tan like this, Mother Tan's expression became a little uncomfortable.

In fact, Mother Tan was also well-informed. It was not easy for her to be a mother in a family like the Ye family. But now, being looked at by Ye Tianhui's dark eyes, she actually felt like she was seen through.

She is just a young girl, but her eyes are so sharp that it is unexpected.

Ye Tianhui looked at Mother Tan's obviously guilty expression, smiled and retracted her gaze, saying lightly: "Didn't the old man say that he would introduce me publicly at the party in a few days? As for now, I'll forget it for now. Besides, I have something to do today and I have an appointment with a friend."

Mother Tan was obviously slightly relaxed, but still said: "Miss Tianhui, this is the old man's order, are you sure you don't want to go?" Ye

Tianhui: "No."

Mother Tan: "The old man said this is a very important guest."

Ye Tianhui glanced at Mother Tan: "My eyes are not good, or your ears are not good? What did I say, can't you hear it?"

Mother Tan was stunned. She only felt that when Ye Tianhui said this, her voice was light and clear, but the momentum was overwhelming.

She was silent for a moment, then lowered her head and said, "Well, then I'll go talk to my husband."

Ye Tianhui opened the door of the cloakroom and casually ordered, "By the way, I'm going out, get a driver ready for me."

Mother Tan looked at Ye Tianhui with some surprise when she heard this.

She stood in front of the cloakroom, choosing among those expensive and fashionable dresses, looking very leisurely.

She ordered herself to prepare a car without even looking at herself.

What a ladylike demeanor.

Mother Tan was unhappy and funny. A mainland girl, who was like a sweet potato before, was almost dug out of the soil, eating with her mind full of food, and was happy to eat anything she was given. It seems that she has never even seen a proper bathtub.

It's only been a few days, but she's already acting like a big shot, like she was born to be a big shot.

A poor person suddenly becomes rich!

Mother Tan suppressed her contempt and said, "Miss Tianhui, I'll talk to the maid for you and ask her to call and register the car. But there are only a few drivers in the house. One of them is used by the old man every day and cannot be used. The other two also need to be kept busy."

Ye Tianhui was choosing among the hanging dresses at this time. She heard Mother Tan's tone and knew that she was dissatisfied with her ordering her around.

She didn't bother to pay attention to it.

Mother Tan was also asking for trouble, and she would soon make her pay a little price.

She flipped through the clothes and finally found a shirt and trousers. They were simple and casual, which was very suitable for going out today.

After Mrs. Tan went out, she changed into the clothes and looked at herself in the mirror. It was indeed not bad.

This kind of expensive brand-name clothes looked ordinary at first glance, nothing special, but it was different after putting it on. The material was indeed comfortable, and it made people look very fashionable, or very trendy, with a strong Hong Kong style.

She liked the way she looked now. At this time, the maid came over and said that the car was ready. Ye Tianhui went out and got in the car.

The house was located halfway up the mountain. The advantage was that you could see the small Hong Kong River, but the disadvantage was that you had to have a car to go out. There were no taxis or public buses here. Even if you wanted to take the Ding Ding Bus, you had to walk a long way.

However, those who can live here are all wealthy people, and most families have cars and drivers.

Ye Tianhui sat in the back seat, admiring the scenery halfway up the mountain, thinking about her plans for today.

While thinking about this, she felt the car slow down. Ye Tianhui subconsciously looked over and saw a row of cars driving up the mountain from the bottom of the mountain. Of course, they were all luxury cars of famous brands.

She couldn't help but take a closer look.

Judging from the distribution of luxury houses on this road, the array of luxury cars and the time, this must be the Gu family's car.

Sure enough, today is very grand. It is estimated that the old man of the Gu family and several younger generations of the family have gone there, otherwise there would not be such a big scene.

She naturally understands that if she escapes this time, she can't escape in the future. It is estimated that she will meet the Gu family sooner or later.

But it doesn't matter. She knows her character very well. Let her do something else, maybe it will work, let her marry -

in the next life!

Anyway, Gu Zhihan doesn't like her. He is probably complaining about his sister's gold handbag.

**********

At this moment, in the extended RV passing by on the opposite side, Gu Shizhang lowered his eyes slightly and closed his eyes to rest.

Sitting next to him were Gu Zhihan and Gu Jiayue.

Gu Shizhang remained silent, and neither did the siblings at first. Later, Gu Jiayue whispered, "I had already set my eyes on that bag and wanted to buy it. I called my mom and she agreed. I was about to buy it, but when I turned around, I saw the bag hanging on her wrist."

Gu Jiayue got angry when she mentioned this, and almost gritted her teeth, "She even raised her hand to greet me on purpose. She did it on purpose to show off to me. When did I offend her? Why did she treat me like this!"

Gu Zhihan let out a breath and suppressed the turmoil in his heart.

He has been feeling depressed these past few days, not because of anything else, but because of Ye Tianhui.

That day, Ye Wenyin hurt her hand, and he couldn't help but comfort her, but who knew that Ye Tianhui saw it.

She was probably angry about his closeness to Ye Wenyin, and then she saw that scene, and she didn't know how angry she was. She was probably misunderstood and thought that he didn't like her at all.

Gu Zhihan sighed, thinking that women are always troublesome, and it's inevitable that they will be jealous and think about all kinds of things.

But then he thought again, after all, she came from the mainland, and she was not raised by the Ye family. Compared with the children who grew up in a proper Ye family, she is not as good as others. How can she not feel inferior?

With such inferiority, how could she dare to believe that he actually liked her?

She must be very sad...

Gu Zhihan thought about these things and couldn't help but be fascinated.

He originally wanted to put on a high profile and pretend that he didn't care, letting her pursue him hard, and then he would suddenly tell her that, in fact, he likes her, and then she would cry for joy, and the two of them could be together.

But now it seems that he should explain a little, give her some hope, and let her know that he only has brotherly love for Ye Wenyin.

Hearing Gu Jiayue say this, he casually said: "Don't be too upset, she may just buy it because she likes it, who would deliberately make you uncomfortable."

Gu Jiayue almost got angry when he heard it: "Brother, who are you speaking for!"

Gu Zhihan: "I help the reason, not the relatives!"

Gu Jiayue was not convinced: "This is the character of poor people who suddenly become rich, they may have never seen good things, and grandpa also said that we should see her get along well, Who wants to get along with a country girl! What can she understand!"

Gu Zhihan hurriedly comforted: "Grandpa is also considering Mr. Ye's favor."

Gu Jiayue disdainfully: "Brother, I told you in advance that if you really listen to grandpa and take care of that mainland girl, I will not recognize her! You won't--"

She looked at Gu Zhihan curiously: "You won't fall in love with that mainland girl, will you?"

Gu Zhihan was hit on the heart and suddenly blushed, Subconsciously, he quickly denied it: "How could I be attracted to her? How could I be attracted to a girl from the mainland? I can't, I can't!"

Gu Jiayue felt better this time: "Brother, you studied abroad, you have the knowledge and status, even if she is the daughter of the Ye family, so what? Her poor Cantonese, poor English, illiterateness, unkempt appearance, and rudeness are all very strange to me. "I absolutely don't want a woman like that to be my sister-in-law!"

Hearing this, Gu Zhihan glanced at his sister unhappily and said, "Don't say that, or Grandpa will be angry."

Gu Jiayue: "Let's talk about it in private. Why would Grandpa be angry? Besides, I don't know what Grandpa is thinking about. Why would he want to let a country girl into our Gu family!"

When she said this, she suddenly felt the air in the RV condense.

Then, she heard a faint voice saying, "Jiayue."

The voice was cold and deep, and it sounded lightly, but it was very important.

When he said this, Gu Zhihan and Gu Jiayue were slightly surprised. The two looked at each other and felt guilty for a while.

It was Gu Shizhang who spoke.

Gu Shizhang is only a few years older than them, but he is completely different from them.

Gu Shizhang is the old man's late son. He has been doted on since he was born. The old man, who was already in his forties at the time, devoted more effort to Gu Shizhang than any other child.

And Gu Shizhang is indeed an unusual child.

He has never cried since he was born, and has never been interested in anything that children like. He started to recognize words at the age of three and started to read at the age of four. He has been extremely smart and talented since he was a child, with a strong athletic talent and amazing artistic talent. He applied to a top British university at the age of fourteen and obtained a British doctorate at the age of twenty.

It can be said that Gu Shizhang's first twenty years were brilliant. He was a genius that the Gu family had never seen in hundreds of years, and was also the greatest pride of Grandpa Gu.

At the age of twenty, Gu Shizhang got his doctorate and prepared to return to Hong Kong to join the family business. However, who knew that on his way back to Hong Kong on a private plane, he encountered a bad turbulence and the plane crashed.

Gu Shizhang survived the disaster and lay in bed for two months.

Two months later, he seemed to have seen through the world and gave up everything he had insisted on. Instead, he traveled to all corners of the world and even managed to travel to the mainland for several months.

Everyone regretted Gu Shizhang's various actions, but Grandpa Gu just let it go.

Gu Shizhang is now 25 years old. He comes back to Hong Kong once every one or two years. He is so elusive that almost no one in the family has any contact with him.

The grandchildren of the Gu family are quite in awe of their uncle and dare not breathe in front of him.

He doesn't talk much, his language is concise and he is very frugal. But when he speaks occasionally, his dark eyes look at people as if they can see through them.

It can be said that apart from the old man, the descendants are most afraid of Gu Shizhang.

Originally, this uncle is a mysterious dragon that is hard to find and does not live in Hong Kong, so everyone just treats him as if he does not exist.

Who knew that a few days ago, this uncle suddenly came back, and he didn't care about anything else, but picked on Gu Zhihan's faults and scolded him, which frightened Gu Zhihan.

After scolding him, he left, and everyone was relieved.

As a result, he suddenly came back these few days, and it seemed that he would stay at home for a long time. What

made everyone even more unexpected was that today, Gu Shizhang, who had always been a recluse and didn't interact with people, actually took the initiative to ask to follow the old man to visit the old man under Ye.

So a simple visit suddenly became complicated, and they, the grandchildren, also accompanied him carefully.

Originally, Gu Shizhang was riding in a car alone, but who knew that there were many people accompanying him this time, and Gu Zhihan and Gu Jiayue were actually assigned to Gu Shizhang's car to travel with Gu Shizhang.

Both of them were very nervous and careful.

This was also because the car had been driving for such a long time, and Gu Shizhang had not spoken a word, as if he did not exist. The two thought he was asleep, so they talked in a low voice.

Who would have thought that they would suddenly wake up this god!

Now that Gu Shizhang said it so lightly, the two were slightly startled.

Gu Zhihan quickly gathered his mind and said, "Uncle."

Gu Shizhang raised his thin eyelids and his eyes slowly fell on Gu Zhihan's face.

Gu Zhihan felt that his eyes were actually a little cold, a kind of creepy cold.

Gu Zhihan moved his lower lip and said, "Uncle, you're awake. I thought you were asleep. Did we... wake you up?"

Gu Shizhang: "What were you talking about just now?"

Gu Zhihan said hurriedly, "Nothing. Jiayue was just talking about her clothes shopping."

Gu Jiayue didn't expect her brother to pull her into this with just one sentence. She had to say hurriedly, "Uncle, we were talking about a friend of our old friend's family. We just mentioned it casually. It's not a big deal."

Gu Shizhang looked at Gu Jiayue with a slightly cold look. "Friend? A girl from the mainland?"

Gu Jiayue didn't expect that Gu Shizhang heard it clearly, so he had to say, "Yes... from the mainland..."

Gu Shizhang tapped the leather seat handle lightly with his fingertips and said in a low voice, "Oh, who did you learn this from?"

Gu Jiayue felt a little sad, and she explained quickly, "It's just that others said so, I didn't say that."

She quickly added, "We were just discussing it, it's other people's business."

Gu Shizhang retracted his gaze and looked out the window.

Outside the window, a car happened to drive out from the direction of the villa in the mountain and passed by their car.

**********

After going down the mountain, Ye Tianhui asked the driver to stop at any place. It was lively here, with streets, public buses and public telephones. She didn't need a driver to follow her closely. After

the driver left, she felt free immediately.

Although the scenery of this wealthy family is indeed beautiful and the delicious food is also memorable, it is indeed uncomfortable to have people looking at her wherever she goes.

Thinking about her previous life, she actually had many choices in her life. She could choose to be a lady from a famous family, she could find a good man of equal status to marry, or even she could choose to marry into the royal family.

Among so many paths, she chose the most difficult one in the eyes of the world. I think it was determined by her own temperament. She couldn't stand those constraints.

She picked up the letter she had prepared and mailed it first. This letter was sent to the mainland, to Feng Suqin. She also sent Feng Suqin 500 Hong Kong dollars.

500 Hong Kong dollars should be a lot of money for Feng Suqin at this time. It was enough to tempt her and make her eagerly come to Hong Kong.

After sending it, she walked leisurely on the street with the money in her pocket, thinking about her next plan.

While walking, she saw a public telephone on the side of the road.

A thought suddenly came to her mind.

She still held a glimmer of hope for Gu Shizhang, and wondered whether she should give him another call.

It would be better to ignore him. Didn't he call her after returning to China? There is another woman in his family, maybe a servant or a relative, but she may also be his girlfriend or even his wife.

Ye Tianhui is very entangled.

She thinks it is shameful to be entangled because of such things, which makes her look down on herself, but she can't control it.

She always thought that she was indifferent to the love between men and women.

For example, in her last life, in fact, in her seemingly boring military career, she had developed some feelings with a man.

The man was from a noble family, handsome, cheerful and upright, and had a natural good appearance. She liked him very much at that time and even almost promised to be with him for life.

It was a pity that the man let her down in the end. He did not explain and got engaged to another woman inexplicably.

She did not understand, but she soon got relieved. The two of them were not suitable for each other. They were just confused by each other's appearance. Now that he withdrew, she could forget it.

She sincerely wished him a harmonious life together and even gave him a generous gift. Later, when his family encountered misfortune, she helped him and saved him from imprisonment. The man's wife once knelt down to thank him in person.

Looking back, this incident was also a training for her.

So she thought that she could control Gu Shizhang better. After all, everything was her own feeling. In fact, the relationship between the two of them was so illusory that there was nothing.

But now, she thought about it again and again.

After a long silence, she finally laughed at herself: "What's the big deal? Just make another call. If you have any questions, just ask him. If he has already married or has a girlfriend, it's his own fault for misleading me. It's not my fault. Then we'll just part ways and never see each other again."

After she figured it out, she resolutely called Gu Shizhang.

The phone rang quickly, one ring, two rings, three or four rings.

Ye Tianhui only felt that the ringtone was really boring and annoying. The ringtone rang for who knows how many times, and was finally hung up automatically. No one answered.

Ye Tianhui was stunned for a while, and took a deep breath: "Forget it, forget it, why should I bore myself, I shouldn't be so self-righteous, he was just kind to me for a while, and he felt sorry for me, why did I think he actually treated me differently, he went abroad and forgot about me a long time ago, but I still miss you here!"

"What else is there to listen to the sound of rain, bah, it's just a man's sweet talk!"

She stopped thinking about it and got on the bus. She wanted to find Jiang Lingfeng. She had brought so many snacks to share with Jiang Lingfeng.

Who knew that after finally arriving at their store, the sign had already been changed. She went to ask around, but only a few gangster-like people looked at her with playful eyes. Someone even smiled and said, "Sister, half a redwood fish, do you want it?"

She glanced at the man coldly and left.

It seems that Jiang Lingfeng's previous gang is no longer there. The underworld of Hong Kong is naturally a place where various forces rise and fall. Today your family is glorious, and tomorrow his family is majestic. It is normal. But I don't know what Jiang Lingfeng did after losing this job.

She thought about it for a moment, and finally realized that she was worried about Jiang Lingfeng, and she simply took a bus to the shantytown in Jiulongshan.

In a short time, many shantytowns have been built here, crowded together. On the narrow streets, there are people selling steamed buns, barbers, and some people selling some daily necessities. Outside the shantytown, there are colorful clothes hanging, and there are piles of pots and pans, full of the breath of life, the breath of life of the poor.

Perhaps because she has lived in the Ye family villa for a few days, now looking at this shantytown, she only feels crowded and cramped.

After asking around, she finally found Jiang Lingfeng's grandmother. The grandmother was very happy to see Ye Tianhui, and held her hand and pulled her into the house warmly, and Ye Tianhui went in.

The room was very crowded and narrow, but it was clean and tidy. It was obvious that the old lady was a capable person. Jiang Lingfeng's sister Xiaoyuer was a little shy and sat in the corner, flipping through a book.

Ye Tianhui took out the snacks she brought and gave them to the little sister. The little sister was embarrassed, and her eyes were bright, looking at her aunt with some expectation. The old

lady said: "Your sister Ye brought it, so you can try it."

The little girl whispered thank you and took it.

The old lady sent the little girl out to play. She poured a glass of water for Ye Tianhui and talked to Ye Tianhui.

She obviously felt sorry for Jiang Lingfeng: "He is not at home day and night. I asked him, but he didn't tell me. When I asked him again, he said he was busy outside. Sometimes I saw him fall asleep as soon as he came back. He was so tired!"

Ye Tianhui had to listen and agree with her.

The old lady said again: "Tianhui, our Lingfeng is a dull person. He doesn't have many friends. Now he finally has a friend like you. What's wrong with him? You should take care of him."

Ye Tianhui hurriedly said: "Lingfeng is a very good person. He helps me a lot."

The aunt smiled: "He is a good child."

Then she mentioned the difficulties of Jiang Lingfeng. She said that he is now looking for work everywhere and saving all the money he earns. He plans to keep it for his sister's schooling. She also said that he lost his parents at a very young age and had a hard life.

Ye Tianhui listened patiently and imagined the various things that Jiang Lingfeng experienced when he was a child.

In her impression, Jiang Lingfeng was a somewhat cold boy. She could not imagine that he was fragile and bullied when he was a child.

After talking for a while, someone outside greeted them. It seemed that they were here to pick up the work. Aunt Jiang Lingfeng was doing some work to earn pocket money.

Seeing this, Ye Tianhui also stood up and said goodbye.

Who knew that as soon as she walked out of the shack, she saw a person hurriedly walking over in front of her. It was Jiang Lingfeng.

As soon as she saw Jiang Lingfeng, she smiled and waved quickly: "Jiang Lingfeng!"

Jiang Lingfeng raised his head and saw her. He was slightly stunned, and then smiled.

At this time, a bus stopped and the door opened. Many people got off, and some people squeezed to get on. The flow of people suddenly separated Jiang Lingfeng and Ye Tianhui.

The bustling crowd blocked Ye Tianhui's sight. Across the narrow street, she could only see the gray broken signboards and the old buildings built on the hill in the distance.

She hurriedly called out, "Jiang Lingfeng!"

However, the crowd was surging and she could not see his shadow at all.

Just when she was helpless, she suddenly heard a cheerful voice beside her: "Ye Tianhui, I'm here."

Ye Tianhui looked over and saw Jiang Lingfeng. He was wearing a cheap suit that was a bit shabby, and his hair was covered with hair gel. He was smiling at her.

Ye Tianhui: "Hey, why are you running over here!"

At this time, a two-decker bus arrived at the station, and another group of people got off. She quickly grabbed his arm and ran to the side. She stopped when she ran to an old store.

Jiang Lingfeng: "Why are you here?"

Ye Tianhui also asked with a smile: "How about you, why are you wearing a suit? What are you going to do?" You

can't be the leader of a gang of young and dangerous people, right? Mobile phone?

Jiang Lingfeng was also very happy. He looked at her with excitement in his eyes and said: "My original gang was closed. After it was closed, I thought about finding another job. Who knew that it was my luck that I met a fellow villager who worked in Wutai Mountain. Seeing that I looked young and knew some kung fu, he introduced me to be a martial arts stuntman. The salary for this job is very good, and the key is that it is also a serious job."

Ye Tianhui: "Wutai Mountain? Where is the Wutai Mountain in Hong Kong?"

Jiang Lingfeng explained: "It is the Wutai Mountain on the Hong Kong Broadcasting Channel. TV station, because there are five TV stations there, it is called Wutai Mountain."

Ye Tianhui suddenly realized: "I understand!"

Jiang Lingfeng: "If I perform well, I may have a chance to appear on camera, and I can make more money that way."

Ye Tianhui also thought it was good: "If you work hard, you may become a movie star one day. I heard that there is a Chinese star named Bruce Lee, who is a world martial arts star."

In fact, she also wanted to take this path at first, but she felt it was boring and didn't want to be so public.

Jiang Lingfeng: "I don't expect so much, how can I think so much, first make some money to support my family."

Ye Tianhui nodded vigorously: "Yes, yes, yes!"

Jiang Lingfeng: "Why are you here?"

Ye Tianhui: "I just went to your house and met your grandmother and your sister. Your sister is a good girl at first glance!"

She smiled and said: "I heard that your sister's school has been contacted and she will be able to go to school soon. Congratulations!"

Jiang Lingfeng: "Not bad."

He looked at her: "Are you here to see me? Why did you come to see me suddenly?"

Ye Tianhui: "I just happened to have time today, so I came to see you. I don't have any other friends in Hong Kong."

Jiang Lingfeng smiled, a faint smile, but he looked very good when he smiled.

He smiled and said: "What are you going to do?"

Ye Tianhui: "Just strolling around, no idea, just some fresh air." Jiang Lingfeng

: "Have you eaten?"

Ye Tianhui: "I had breakfast, I'm not too hungry now."

Jiang Lingfeng lowered his head slightly, thought seriously, and said: "Then I'll treat you to a delicious meal, and then accompany you to Victoria Harbor? I heard the scenery there is beautiful."

Ye Tianhui smiled: "Okay!"

***********

The Gu family entered the Ye family in a mighty procession and sat down as guests. Grandpa Gu and Grandpa Ye were obviously in good spirits and talked about everything. Grandpa Gu asked about the new granddaughter of the Ye family. Grandpa Ye said helplessly, "I heard that she left early in the morning. I told her to stay at home, but it's too late. This child is really unruly." Grandpa Gu

smiled and said, "She's just a child. Who cares? " It would be nice if there was nothing to do. Now we can't always let the young people accommodate us. Besides, we came

here unexpectedly today. We were presumptuous." Mr. Ye kept talking about something else, and for a while he mentioned Ye Tianhui: "This child is new to the family and has a lot to learn. Look, she is even learning to drive. She is busy."

The two old men were talking and laughing, but Gu Zhihan felt irritated. He never thought that Ye Tianhui was not there! He

wanted to explain to her, to make it clear to her, at least there would be some progress, but who knew she was not there.

Why was she not there, avoiding him on purpose? Was she angry?

This little girl from the mainland, she has a really bad temper!

Gu Zhihan was a little impatient, thinking that he couldn't marry a wife with such a bad temper, and he shouldn't worry about her, but thinking about Ye Tianhui's various things, he felt unwilling. She was so good, maybe he could be more tolerant? Fortunately,

at this time, the two old people were going to read calligraphy. They liked quietness, so they naturally didn't like the younger generation to follow them, so everyone dispersed. Several second-generation people were drinking tea and talking on the side, and the young people said they wanted to play tennis.

Ye Wenyin next to him looked at Gu Zhihan: "Zhihan, are you going?"

Gu Zhihan didn't really want to pay attention, but thinking that it would be good to go out for some fresh air, he also got up.

There is a swimming pool and a tennis court in Ye Garden, with all kinds of facilities. The second wife asked the Filipino maid to prepare all kinds of snacks for the young people to eat and drink.

At this time, the garden was full of colorful fallen leaves, delicious food, and a group of young people in bright clothes, playing ball and chatting, making it very lively.

On the terrace of the study nearby, Ye Lixuan handed the freshly ground coffee to Gu Shizhang: "Try this and see how it tastes."

Gu Shizhang thanked him, took it, tasted it elegantly, and said: "Silky and delicate, with excellent oil quality, and a faint scent of fruit."

Ye Lixuan smiled: "The coffee grown in Panama at an altitude of 1700-1800 meters is indeed extraordinary. It seems that this kind of plantation has great potential."

Ye Lixuan is 38 years old this year and Gu Shizhang is 25 years old. Although there is a 13-year age difference between them, on the one hand, they are of the same generation, and on the other hand, Gu Shizhang is a precocious person. He has been like a little adult since he was three or four years old, so the relationship between the two has always been good.

Both of them are coffee lovers, and they are very particular about coffee. They simply bought a farm in Panama. The farm was originally a ranch, but they started to grow coffee in recent years. Now they plan to manage the coffee trees in the farm in a meticulous manner and introduce high-precision coffee machinery and equipment to standardize the coffee farm.

However, both of them are just idle and have snacks occasionally, so the coffee planting is naturally left to professionals.

Now that they are rarely together, they simply discuss their next plans. The two of them naturally hope to participate in the coffee competition to gain some fame and perhaps make the coffee this time.

At the moment, the two of them are sipping coffee and chatting.

Suddenly, Gu Shizhang raised his eyes and looked at Ye Lixuan: "Lixuan, you called me here specially just to talk about coffee with me?"

Ye Lixuan was exposed and did not hide it, and said: "I have an unreasonable request."

Gu Shizhang: "Oh?"

Ye Lixuan: "Do you raise a few horses at Happy Valley Racecourse?"

Gu Shizhang looked at him inquiringly: "I don't remember you were interested in horses."

Ye Lixuan: "I suddenly feel interested now."

Gu Shizhang raised his eyebrows: "So?"

Ye Lixuan: "I have taken a fancy to a horse, I hope you can give it up."

Gu Shizhang: "Which one?"

Ye Lixuan: "A horse named Teng Yunwu."

Gu Shizhang smiled: "You have a good eye. You actually took a fancy to this one."

He stood up and looked out the window in the rich aroma of coffee.

Outside the window, the autumn wind was rustling. Several grandchildren from the Gu and Ye families were playing ball enthusiastically, and some of them ran to the swimming pool.

He said calmly, "I'm sorry I can't give up this horse."

Ye Lixuan: "Oh?"

Gu Shizhang turned around and looked at Ye Lixuan, then slowly explained, "That horse is very important to me."

Ye Lixuan raised his eyebrows and said nothing.

Gu Shizhang: "That's the betrothal gift I gave to my future wife."

Ye Lixuan was surprised: "Future wife? Are you in love? Are you engaged?"

Under normal circumstances, he would not ask about other people's private matters, but this was unexpected. Gu Shizhang actually had a girlfriend?

Gu Shizhang smiled and said, "I'm not engaged and I'm not in love, but that doesn't mean I won't fall in love and get married. I will have a wife eventually."

Then he said, "I believe my wife will like that horse. It's my betrothal gift to her."

Ye Lixuan: "..."

He was silent for a moment before saying, "How do you ensure that your wife likes it?"

Gu Shizhang: "Because I won't marry a wife who doesn't like that horse."

Ye Lixuan was speechless for a moment.

Gu Shizhang: "Let me guess, you are not doing this for yourself, but for others, right?"

Ye Lixuan said gloomily: "Yes."

Gu Shizhang: "Oh? Who is it that makes you so concerned?"

Ye Lixuan glanced at Gu Shizhang and said coldly: "It's nothing, since this horse means a lot to you, forget it."

Gu Shizhang: "Lixuan, I actually have a few good horses, you can take a look at others."

However, Ye Lixuan just gave him a long look.

Then he said without any expression: "Let's talk later."
