Chapter 41

Ye Tianhui studied the information about the class competition carefully these two days. She had to find the most confident match.

However, after screening all kinds of information, she still couldn't be sure.

It's not easy to find a good thing like the previous two times. It's not always so sure. The competition is always full of uncertainty. If she can't bet on the last time, then she will definitely fail.

After studying for two or three days, she still has no clue. She has to focus part of her mind on the driver's license test - this driver's license test must be taken.

On this day, after she successfully took the written test, she recalled her answers and felt that there was no problem. She also felt much more relaxed.

It happened that she had nothing to do that day, so she went to the horse farm to see Teng Yunwu.

Teng Yunwu participated in another competition, but his results were just average. She hugged Teng Yunwu and felt sorry for him: "If you continue like this, you may be eliminated soon. When you are really eliminated, your master will give up on you, and then I will take you home."

Of course, this is just a beautiful idea.

Teng Yunwu is now somewhat familiar with her. When he heard this, he rubbed her arm with his horse head. The action was very intimate, which was a bit like the last life. She liked him more and more, and she wanted to hug Teng Yunwu tightly.

After seeing Teng Yunwu, she stayed at the racecourse for a while and studied all the horses here, trying to find some clues from them, but unfortunately, there was no suitable opportunity. As

she looked at it, she was about to leave, but when she was about to leave, she saw a car next to her.

She recognized it at a glance. It was the car of Sun Qiren, Ye Lizhen's special assistant. The license plate of the car was very special. She remembered it.

In fact, there was nothing strange about Sun Qiren coming to the racecourse. After all, Ye Lizhen was going to run the Ye family's horse racing business, and it was normal for his special assistant to come to the racecourse to study the situation. However, she clearly remembered that in the morning when she went to greet the old man, Ye Lizhen mentioned to the old man that he was going to Sha Tin today.

When he said this, Ye Tianhui felt that something was wrong with his expression.

The feeling was only fleeting at that time, and she did not care too much. It was just that if Ye Lizhen went to Shatin, why didn't his special assistant go there? What was Sun Qiren doing here?

The autumn sky was high and the clouds were light in the racecourse. There were several horses training. Everything looked quiet and beautiful, but Ye Tianhui felt a hint of conspiracy.

As a female general who had fought for more than ten years in her previous life, it was almost an instinct for her to smell the strange atmosphere in the air, to be sensitive to the breath of conspiracy, and to avoid it in time.

Moreover, from the perspective of human nature, she had won twice in a row.

If he wins the third time, Ye Lizhen will definitely give up some of his power to him. How can he be willing?

His three inter-class competition bets were so simple and crude, and his power was actually very weak. He only relied on the support of his grandfather. Once he loses, even if his grandfather wants to help him, he will find it difficult to convince him.

What's more, there are many people in the Ye family who don't like him.

From the second wife of my grandmother's generation, to Ye Lizhen of my father's generation, to Ye Wenyin of my peers, and some others that he can see or not, they don't want to see him take a share from them.

Common interests will prompt them to unite and jointly strangle his budding achievements.

Ye Tianhui smiled.

She was naturally familiar with various military tactics. The so-called way of using troops is to show softness and then meet it with strength, to show weakness and then take advantage of it with strength, to retreat and then respond to it with expansion, and to show the east when you want to go west.

Since they want to deal with me, that's fine. I will just use them and turn the tables on them.

In this way, the bet that I was not sure about originally can be confirmed by them.

She walked out of the horse farm and found a public telephone booth outside the horse farm. She called Manager Hu directly.

She naturally understood that Manager Hu was the kind of tofu that was smooth on both sides. Although he greeted me with a smile, he would not be useful to me. I was new here and my feet were not stable. In fact, I had no talent to use.

But it didn't matter. Not to mention those who had no stance, even if they had a firm stance on the other side, I might not be unable to use them.

After the call was connected, Manager Hu was naturally very respectful, calling her Miss Ye.

Ye Tianhui did not hide her intention and directly stated her purpose, saying that she had taken a fancy to several horses in a class race and asked the other party to provide her with some information. Manager Hu readily agreed and was very positive.

When she was about to hang up the phone, Manager Hu smiled and said, "Miss Ye has a good eye. If she bets on the first horse this time, she will make a fortune again. I think we can also follow Miss Ye to benefit from it."

Ye Tianhui smiled and said, "If you often walk by the river, you will get your shoes wet. If there is a general who always wins horse racing in this world, then horse racing can be a thing of the past."

After that, she hung up the phone directly.

Manager Hu on the other side thought about what Ye Tianhui had just said, savored it carefully, and suddenly he suddenly understood.

She thought that although Miss Ye was from the mainland and was very young, what she said was extremely exquisite!

After Ye Tianhui hung up the phone, she thought about this matter.

As a general fighting outside, she naturally did not do things properly. She had to consider the weather and location, the morale of the people, and the heart of the emperor in the capital. She didn't know how much worry she had.

Now that she wants to win this small class competition, she naturally has to use all her skills to get things done properly.

After returning, she will have a detailed discussion with Mr. Ye to slightly adjust the situation of the bet. At the same time, she will let Mr. Ye restrict everyone in the Ye family and never buy horse tickets at will to avoid falling into the trap of others.

If Mr. Ye disciplines them, and some people still buy privately, and then become victims and lose everything, then it can't be her fault.

She figured it out and felt relieved, so she wanted to take a taxi back to Ye Garden.

Just then, she saw a taxi coming and it was about to stop outside the racecourse. It seemed that a customer was getting off here, so she thought about waiting for it, but who knew that a person got off the car, and he looked familiar.

The man was tall and slender, wearing a high-collared windbreaker. In the rustling autumn wind, he looked elegant and noble.

It was Gu Shizhang.

Ye Tianhui greeted him indifferently: "Mr. Gu, long time no see."

This greeting, with a sophisticated Hong Kong flavor, was full of alienation.

Gu Shizhang nodded slightly to the taxi driver, and the taxi driver left.

Seeing this, Ye Tianhui was about to wave to the other party to stay, and she was about to leave, but who knew that the taxi driver just drove away as if he didn't see her.

Ye Tianhui laughed, but suppressed it and kept a calm expression.

Gu Shizhang walked over to Ye Tianhui's side, lowered his eyes slightly, and just looked at her.

He was so tall that Ye Tianhui could only see his chin when she looked straight at him.

He was wearing a close-fitting thin sweater with a high collar under his underwear, and the collar slightly touched his protruding Adam's apple. He looked elegant and noble, but also gentle and sophisticated.

She didn't say anything, and he didn't say anything either, just looked at her with his eyes lowered. His eyes were calm and peaceful, full of patience, as if he had to wait to find out something.

Ye Tianhui rebelled.

She turned her face away: "What are you looking at!"

Gu Shizhang finally spoke: "How did I offend you? Are you angry with me?"

Ye Tianhui was surprised: "What do you mean? How could I be angry with you? When I saw you, I greeted you so politely."

Gu Shizhang looked at her like this, curled his lips, and said with a smile: "Really, not angry? Well, we haven't seen each other for a long time, please treat me to dinner."

Ye Tianhui snorted: "I have never seen you like this. When you see me, you only know to let me treat you to dinner. Why don't you treat me to dinner? You only know to let me treat you to dinner, you are too stingy!"

Gu Shizhang raised his eyebrows: "Oh? Well, to prove that I am not stingy, today Can I have to eat? "

Ye Tianhui:" ... "

She didn't want to ignore him, and turned to leave:" Don't! " Gu

Shizheng followed:" Why not ? " " Gu Shizhen:" Then I ignored it? "

Ye Tianhui:" Don't you want to ignore it? " Gu Shizheng suddenly made a voice :" Ye Tianhui. " Suddenly, it had a headache . She sneered and said, "Gu Shizhang, I think I have one biggest advantage. Do you know what it is?" Gu Shizhang's dark eyes locked on her. Ye Tianhui: "You helped me a lot in the past, I am very grateful, a drop of water should be repaid with a spring, this is the truth of the world, but my biggest advantage is-" She said word by word: "Ungrateful! I would rather let the world down than let the world let me down! Even if you help me, don't think about repaying the favor. I will never pay attention to you. If you dare to show your displeasure to me, I will never pay attention to you in my life!" After that, she lifted her legs and walked away. Who knew that Gu Shizhang would come forward, suddenly turn his wrist, and hold her directly: "Ye Tianhui, you must tell me clearly, how did I offend you, did I do anything wrong?" Ye Tianhui was annoyed and struggled, but he was so strong that she couldn't break free. He was actually a martial artist! She sneered: "Let me go!" Gu Shizhang didn't let go at all. He stared at her: "Give me a reason." Ye Tianhui was stared at by such a look, took a deep breath, and said: "Do you want to know?" Gu Shizhang: "Yes." Ye Tianhui: "I think you don't look good, okay? I hate people who don't look good!" As soon as she said this, Gu Shizhang's face suddenly sank, and the air around him suddenly became a little colder. Ye Tianhui's stubbornness came out completely, she held her chin high and stared at him. She would never admit defeat. Gu Shizhang looked at her like this for a long time, and finally said: "Can you tell me who you like? I've only been away for a short time, and you think others like me and dislike me so much?" He curled his lips sarcastically: "You are indeed worthy of being Ye Tianhui." Ye Tianhui looked up at the sky and said nonchalantly: "It's good to know, please let me go, or I will call the police." Gu Shizhang asked stubbornly: "Tell me, who is the one who caught your eye?" Ye Tianhui: "It's none of your business." Gu Shizhang smiled, a half-smile, with coldness in his eyes: "You don't want to say it, right? Then you can take a look, whether it has anything to do with me or not——" However, halfway through his words, Ye Tianhui suddenly attacked. Her punches were fast, sharp and fierce. Gu Shizhang had some basic skills in martial arts, but he was not on guard against her at all. In this defenseless situation, she had no way to avoid it and could only bear it. There was only a dull sound, which was the fierce contact between fists, bones and muscles. Ye Tianhui looked over and saw that Gu Shizhang's face had turned pale. She withdrew her hand expressionlessly, rubbed her wrist that had just been grasped, and said lightly: "I hate others holding me like this, and you are no exception." She tilted her head slightly: "Do you think you can treat me like this?" Even her own father can't! Gu Shizhang pursed his bloodless lips tightly, and looked at her with eyes that showed no emotion. Ye Tianhui snorted: "I'm leaving. We have nothing to do with each other in the future. Don't chase me to repay my kindness. If you really want to collect the debt, you can. Just give me a bill. If I'm in a good mood, maybe I'll pay it!" After that, she left. Without looking back. She didn't stop until she was far away. Close your eyes, then open them again. Standing on the street, the high-rise buildings lined up one after another, the bustling crowds, the dazzling goods signs, and the blue sky that can be seen through the gaps, all of these have become illusory and blurry shadows in front of you.

And in this emptiness, a face became particularly clear.

His eyes were dim and his face was pale. He pursed his thin lips and just looked at her.

Ye Tianhui shook her head slowly, trying to get rid of the shadow, but her conscience and guilt rose like the unstoppable morning mist, making it difficult for her to think calmly.

She just punched him. A

punch in the chest.

Although her strength and speed in this life are not as good as in her previous life, she knows that her boxing skills, the angle, and the force are enough to seriously injure ordinary people.

Is she a little too cruel?

After all, he has helped her a lot. Even if there are one or two things about him that she doesn't like, it is not a big sin. Why should she treat him like this?

In fact, analyzing her own heart to reflect on it, she just turned shame into anger.

She knew that she cared, but everything was not as she wished, and she was afraid, afraid to know the truth.

She was afraid that Gu Shizhang would eventually abandon her silently like He Qingxu in his previous life, leaving her to guess, to doubt, and then to resolve the helplessness in her heart.

At this point, she had to admit that she didn't care that much about He Qingxu, so she let it go easily.

But if it happened again, if the same thing happened to Gu Shizhang, she didn't know if she could let it go easily and not care.

Because she was afraid that she couldn't, she began to escape and began to arm herself with tough words.

She would rather hurt him than hurt herself.

She looked up at the sky, staring blankly for a long time, and finally turned around and walked back.

This was her own knot in her heart, and she couldn't hurt others because of this knot.

She should ask clearly, and if the worst outcome was, they would be estranged from each other from then on, or just be distant friends.

Why did she treat him like this?

So she finally walked back, walking in front of those tall buildings, through those crowds of people.

While walking like this, she couldn't help thinking in her heart that maybe he had left, and from now on, the two of them had no relationship at all, he would not forgive her, and she would not turn back and say anything.

At a turn, she finally looked up, and was caught off guard by his eyes.

It was already sunset, he stood there silently facing the setting sun, still maintaining the same posture as when she left. The people passing by him in an endless stream separated and came together, as if they were the sea waded by Moses.

The wind blew his hair, and the short strands of hair moved slightly.

But he seemed to be frozen, and kept the same posture as when he left, just staring at her direction.

Even though their eyes were now far apart, he didn't seem to react at all.

She hesitated for a moment, but finally walked in front of him.

Their eyes met silently, and she actually blushed a little.

So she bit her lip slightly, looked away, and said casually: "I hit you, it's my fault, I apologize."

He didn't say anything, and there was still no emotion in his deep eyes, just staring at her tightly.

Ye Tianhui: "But you insisted on holding me, and you didn't let go even when I asked you to. I don't like this."

At this time, Gu Shizhang spoke: "Why?"

His voice was very light, without any emotion, but very stubborn: "Why are you suddenly angry with me?"

Ye Tianhui said vaguely: "Actually, it's nothing."

Gu Shizhang: "Tell me."

He said in a very low voice: "Let me die with a clear mind."

His voice was a little weak, which made Ye Tianhui feel more guilty.

In the final analysis, she hit him, which was not right.

He looked like a saint, he was good to her, she shouldn't hit him for such a small matter.

So she finally said: "I can tell you the reason, but you are not allowed to laugh at me, and don't ask why."

Gu Shizhang: "Okay, you tell me."

Ye Tianhui didn't know how to express her feelings and thoughts for a moment. After all, this kind of thing was unfamiliar and she had no experience.

So she said in a low voice: "Let me tell you first, it doesn't matter if we can't be friends. I won't be angry with you. I hit you, and if you need to go to the hospital, I can help you treat it. I have a lot of money now, I can compensate you and pay for your medical expenses. You can pay as much as you want."

Gu Shizhang was silent for a moment, and finally said: "It seems that you have made a fortune. When you hit someone, you were already thinking about how to compensate."

Ye Tianhui: "..."

Gu Shizhang: "Just say it, I don't want you to pay, I just want to know why."

Ye Tianhui was thinking about the wording and how to say it, and her eyes wandered for a moment.

Seeing this, Gu Shizhang said, "Come over here, we'll talk slowly."

Ye Tianhui: "Okay."

He took her to a quiet place, and then said, "I'll ask you what you don't want to say, and you answer truthfully, okay?"

Ye Tianhui nodded: "Okay."

Gu Shizhang: "Did someone say something bad about me?"

Ye Tianhui shook her head.

Gu Shizhang: "Did you know something about me?"

Ye Tianhui nodded.

Gu Shizhang: "Did someone else say it? Who?"

Ye Tianhui's eyes flickered.

Gu Shizhang lowered his voice and said softly and patiently: "Well? Can you tell me?"

Ye Tianhui sighed, and finally said: "Let me think about how to say it."

Gu Shizhang nodded: "Okay."

Ye Tianhui thought about this matter. It was really embarrassing to admit that she cared about that woman, but once she asked, she exposed her inner feelings.

This was even more embarrassing.

At this time, Gu Shizhang said, "You know, you are really heartless. I have been away on business for a long time and haven't contacted you. In fact, I have been thinking about you. Last time, you didn't leave me your phone number, and you didn't call me later. What should I do? After I came back this time, I wanted to find you, but you were not there and I couldn't get through. I came to the racecourse today, hoping to meet you. I saw you from a distance just now, so I got off the car, but you ignored me, like a bucket of cold water poured down on me."

Ye Tianhui didn't expect that he would say such straightforward words.

These words were like a glass of fine wine pouring on Ye Tianhui's heart, extinguishing all her previous anger and entanglements.

She also began to feel a faint expectation in her heart.

She finally stopped thinking and asked directly: "How many days have you been back from abroad? Where have you been living these days?"

Gu Shizhang was a man who understood everything after hearing this. He guessed: "You called me and knew that I was back. You thought I didn't contact you after I returned, so you were irritated with me?"

Ye Tianhui's secret was exposed, so she had to say: "Now you are just saying nice things to coax me, but you don't really care at all..."

It was really embarrassing for her to say such words. She felt a buzzing in her ears after she said it.

It was a bit embarrassing, as if she was irritated that others didn't care about her.

Gu Shizhang explained hurriedly, "I came back the day before yesterday, but after I came back, I had some mundane and interpersonal matters to deal with. Although I don't care much about those things anymore, I can't avoid them. I really didn't know you called me. I have a part-time worker at home to help me with housework. It's a habit I used to have. She is already thirty-four years old, and she loves her husband. They have one son and two daughters. When I'm not around, I'll ask her to help me clean the house. Apart from that, there's no one else in my family."

Ye Tianhui: "..."

Part-time worker? She has a son, a daughter, and a husband?

She suddenly felt that all her petty quirks were so ridiculous.

How embarrassing!

She had no choice but to say, "These things have nothing to do with me. You don't need to tell me about your family affairs, and I don't care about them."

Gu Shizhang: "Tianhui, I told you that my family lives in Singapore. We have also developed in Hong Kong in recent years. I also have family in Hong Kong, but it has been several years. I don't have much contact with them, and my own career has nothing to do with them. So I don't think these mundane things are important, and I haven't told you. If you want to know, I will tell you one by one."

Oh...

Ye Tianhui said, "Actually, it's not necessary. Since you don't care, then I don't care about these things too much."

She really didn't care about who he was or what kind of family he had.

As long as he was not the prodigal Meng who attracted bees and butterflies, it was enough.

She felt that she and Gu Shizhang had not yet developed to this point, and she didn't want to tell him the truth, nor did she want to hear what he said.

Gu Shizhang saw her avoiding him as much as possible, and naturally understood her thoughts.

She seemed to be carefree, but in fact it was just a façade to deceive the world. She was one of the most outstanding generals of the Ye family for a hundred years, and the daughter of the Dingbian general Ye Bubian who was carefully trained. How could she be a reckless general with courage but no strategy?

She was the most defensive and suspicious person, and she could not easily open up to others.

When she was stationed at the border, those memorials impeaching her were not without reason. He knew more or less what money and food she had hoarded privately.

In the final analysis, she did not trust him and was wary of him.

She went to Beijing in the rain that night because she was afraid that he would catch her by the braid, so she deliberately told those lies to coax him.

To this, he just turned a blind eye.

Whether in public or private, he doesn't need to care about those little details.

At this time, Gu Shizhang raised his eyelids and looked at Ye Tianhui, who was in another world, and finally sighed: "It turns out that you would rather let the world down than let the world let you down, Ye Tianhui."

When Ye Tianhui heard it, she immediately said: "Why, are you not used to it?"

Gu Shizhang looked at her somewhat righteous look, thinking of her arrogance when she once held the two-foot-long sword in her hand.

He finally smiled.

He smiled and said, "What can I do if I'm not used to it?"

His smile was so charming and beautiful that Ye Tianhui blushed. She immediately turned the tables and said, "But through this incident, I found that you are not a good person. You just grabbed my wrist and were very fierce to me. If I had no strength, you would have hurt me."

Gu Shizhang: "But I know you won't be hurt. Isn't it me who is hurt?"

Ye Tianhui : "That's because you're facing me. If it were someone else, you would have hurt him long ago."

Gu Shizhang: "But I won't face others either. I will only face you."

Ye Tianhui didn't care about that and directly replied: "Anyway, you are vicious!"

Gu Shizhang: "...Yes, I am indeed vicious. I will reflect on it and will never do that again in the future. OK?"

The way he admitted his fault made Ye Tianhui lose her temper.

She has always been soft-hearted, not to mention Ye Lixuan or Gu Shizhang.

She smiled and said, "Forget it, I won't talk about you anymore. Let's go. You promised me to treat me to a meal."

Gu Shizhang: "Do you want to come to my house with me?"

Ye Tianhui was a little surprised and felt it was sudden.

Gu Shizhang looked at her with dark eyes and explained in a gentle voice: "I bought you a gift in England and put it at home, so I thought I would give it to you. Besides, I can cook at home, so we can cook together. I asked the hourly worker to buy some ingredients, which is better than eating out."

Ye Tianhui: "Well, okay."

She felt that this was a little unexpected, but she also felt that it was not bad.
