Chapter 59
Ye Tianhui looked at him silently, wondering if she should say hello or ask when she would go to pay respect to her mother.
Who knew that at this time, Ye Wenyin happened to come downstairs.
As soon as Ye Wenyin saw Ye Lixuan, she hurried forward and said in surprise: "Daddy, you are back!"
Ye Lixuan nodded: "Yes, I just got home on today's flight."
Ye Wenyin had already taken the luggage from Ye Lixuan's hand diligently: "Daddy, didn't you say that you would arrive tomorrow? I was thinking of picking you up. Why did you come early?"
Ye Lixuan: "The plan has changed."
Ye Wenyin: "Daddy can come back early, grandpa said that everyone will go over to eat tonight, so everyone is here."
Ye Lixuan nodded.
Then he looked at Ye Tianhui.
Ye Tianhui ignored it and pretended not to see it.
Ye Wenyin smiled again and said, "Daddy, Zhihan and Jiayue may come over tomorrow, and we can play together. Grandpa also said that you are not here."
Ye Lixuan heard this and understood that Gu Zhihan was probably going to formally talk to Ye Wenyin. He
immediately said, "I will be resting tomorrow, and I will be at home."
He also hoped to finalize it as soon as possible, so that Ye Wenyin can get engaged smoothly, and he will no longer have any responsibilities to fulfill, and Ye Wenyin will move out by then.
Ye Wenyin smiled and said, "That's fine!"
She accompanied Ye Lixuan into the house. Ye Lixuan looked at Ye Tianhui and was about to speak, but Ye Wenyin suddenly remembered, "By the way, Daddy, didn't you mention on the phone a few days ago that it was cold there and that it might snow? Did it really snow?"
Ye Lixuan shook his head, "No."
Ye Wenyin: "That's good, otherwise I'm really worried that you would catch a cold. You're so busy attending meetings, and you probably don't have time to buy warm clothes."
Ye Tianhui watched from the side. They met again after a long separation, and the father and daughter were filial. It was a beautiful picture.
She turned around and went back to her room.
He called Ye Wenyin while on a business trip?
Very good, very good.
It seems that he treats her very well, but in fact he only cares about his daughter.
********
That night, everyone went to the old man's room for dinner. Old Master Ye said that he had been to the Jockey Club today and had met Mr. Feng there. He also learned about the arrangements for this year's Jockey Club. He said that there would be a major adjustment in the prize money.
When Ye Tianhui heard this, she remembered what Gu Shizhang said and was naturally interested.
The other people in the family had also heard the rumors to some extent, but they were not sure. Now they all pricked up their ears to listen.
Old Master Ye told everyone in detail that the Hong Kong Jockey Club was preparing an adjustment plan. In this season, the prize money for the race would be greatly increased to a record high of HK$700 million.
HK$700 million?
When this number came out, everyone was a little shocked. This was a huge sum of money no matter who looked at it.
Ye Lizhen said solemnly: "The prize money for a single season in the past years has never increased so much. This increase has also set a historical record."
Old Master Ye nodded: "Yes, it has never been so high."
He looked at Ye Tianhui for a moment: "Tianhui, what do you think about this?"
Ye Tianhui said: "Although I have just arrived in Hong Kong, I often read some economic newspapers and magazines. I roughly know the current situation. The Jockey Club has significantly increased the prize money this time. , of course, it is not for the horse racing industry, but probably to boost the economy, to make horse racing a rush, to increase the enthusiasm of the whole people, and to create an economic hotspot. "
After hearing this, Mr. Ye praised it very much and said with a smile: "Although Tianhui has just come to Hong Kong, her enthusiasm for research is really worth learning from. You see, she is now very clear about the economic situation in Hong Kong, and she has a keen sense of smell!"
He praised Ye Tianhui so much, and everyone naturally had different thoughts.
Ye Tianhui was very calm about this. In fact, this was reminded by Gu Shizhang. She really only thought about making money and didn't think much about it for the time being.
Gu Shizhang reminded her, and combined with the news she usually read, she thought about it carefully and probably understood what was going on.
Mr. Ye sighed, "During the financial crisis a few years ago, horse racing betting was also affected. It can be said that Hong Kong horse racing is in a historical downturn. This time, the Jockey Club also proposed a new prize pool model to encourage betting and revitalize the Hong Kong economy. There will be various classes of horse racing, as well as distance races and brand alliance races."
He smiled and said, "In short, this time there are many types of competitions. Even if the horses are not in the top three, as long as they work hard, everything is possible. This is also to encourage more horses to participate. In this situation, whether our Ye family's horses can stand out depends on this time."
Ye Wenbin's eyes were already bright.
What does this news mean? It means that horse fans may get more money! It's time for the whole nation to have a share of the spectators!
He asked carefully, "This news has not been released yet, right?"
Master Ye said, "It will be in the next two days. The horse racing in Hong Kong will soon heat up. You should all be prepared."
Then he asked, "Tianhui, Wenyong, what is the current situation of your horses?"
Ye Wenyong hurriedly told the situation of the horses under his command. It was obvious that Ye Wenyong had quite a few good horses under his command.
The most promising one was a horse called "Xuantie 14". That horse was introduced from the UK a few years ago. It performed well in the Hong Kong season last year. After that, it went to the United States to participate in two international competitions. Now it has regrouped and returned to Hong Kong.
Master Ye was obviously very satisfied. He nodded slightly and then asked about Ye Tianhui again.
Ye Tianhui briefly described her situation. Ye Wenjing beside her was surprised when he heard it: "That Hell King? That horse is the most likely to cause trouble!"
When he said this, someone burst out laughing.
Someone else said: "Even Wenjing knows his name, this must be a rare horse!"
Ye Tianhui was too lazy to pay attention to this, and briefly told Ye Laozi about Hell King's situation: "In short, I think this horse has great potential, but it needs conditioning and training."
Ye Laozi frowned slightly: "How much time do you need to condition a horse like this? Now that the season is imminent, can this horse be used?"
Ye Tianhui said: "Grandpa, among the horses under my command now, one was purchased from a friend with my own money, one is the King of Hell, which was bought from a slaughterhouse and didn't cost much, and the other is the pregnant Black Rose. These are the only horses I have now, and they are all weak and infirm. I will use them first, whether they are good or not. I will be happy if they can achieve good results, but if they can't, then there is nothing I can do."
Gu Shizhang gave Shaoguang to Ye Tianhui at that time, and specially changed Shaoguang's temporary name. At that time, he wanted to avoid attracting attention before the season and to keep a backup plan. Even in the subsequent training, he tried to keep it confidential.
So now the Ye family only knows that Ye Tianhui got a horse, but they don’t know how much it cost and where it came from. As for the outside world, it is even more hidden.
Even Grandpa Ye doesn’t know the specific situation of the light-digging.
At this time, Grandpa Ye frowned more and more after hearing this, and looked at Ye Wenyong with a gloomy face.
Ye Wenyong was stunned.
He looked at Ye Tianhui, a little bit unbelievable. They are all family, why do you talk like this?
If you say that he excluded her, then he did exclude her. The black rose was indeed thrown to her because no one wanted it, but... he only did three points, why did she exaggerate it to ten points?
This will make him speechless!
Seeing this, the people around him also lowered their heads slightly in embarrassment.
This is offending people, this is complaining, this is a very straightforward complaint, just short of pointing directly at Ye Wenyong's nose and saying: "He squeezes me."
If she had been more tactful, Ye Wenyong would not have been so speechless.
Ye Lizhen frowned even more, and he looked at Ye Lixuan.
Under normal circumstances, would this father come out and say a few words?
Who knew that Ye Lixuan's face was normal, as if he didn't hear it, and he didn't mean to ask.
This...
Just as everyone was embarrassed, Master Ye asked: "What's going on?"
Under Master Ye's authority, Ye Wenyong hurriedly said: "This, this is what Tianhui wanted to buy!"
He quickly organized his words: "Master, according to the regulations, Tianhui has a part of the funds that she can use, and the horse was also bought by Tianhui herself. She naturally has her own ideas. I can't interfere with what she wants to buy... As for the black rose, it is indeed mine. It was given to her, but Grandpa, Black Rose is a top-quality horse, and you saw how Black Rose performed last time. "
Grandpa Ye didn't want to listen to his explanation: "So you only gave Tianhui a pregnant Black Rose? The race is less than a month away, and she has the money but no horse. Do you want her to buy a horse today, fight tomorrow, and win the championship the day after tomorrow?"
Anyone who knows the business knows that this is absolutely impossible. Training a racehorse is a slow and meticulous process, and it takes time.
Spending money may not necessarily produce results, not to mention that there is only a month.
Exposed, Ye Wenyong had no choice but to continue to make amends: "Grandpa, but Black Rose is also a good horse and a famous general. Everyone saw Black Rose's potential at that time, and Tianhui is also good at this horse."
Ye Tianhui watched coldly and naturally saw Ye Wenyong's helplessness at this time.
Yes, she did it on purpose. Since she squeezed him out, no matter if it was one point or ten points, it was still squeezing him out, so she told him off!
Besides, the old man might not be unaware of it, but was just pretending to be stupid, and now he was exposed.
In this awkward moment, Ye Lizhen sighed and pretended to criticize: "Wenyong, how do you do things! Since Tianhui is in charge of horse affairs, you should at least give her some good horses!"
At this time, Ye Tianhui said to Old Master Ye: "Grandpa, don't be angry. Brother Wenyong is also thinking about me. Anyway, there are only a few horses. I will just do some casual things. Just as a practice. I know he is afraid that I will feel pressured. He is kind."
Kind...
kind bullshit!
Ye Wenyong heard this and felt that Ye Tianhui had said all the right words, sarcastic words, and bad words.
But at this time, he had no choice but to reluctantly say, "I really wanted to let Tianhui practice first. The horses under my command are all managed by professional horse management assistants. If they are suddenly transferred, those racehorses may not be able to adapt."
Ye Tianhui also said, "Brother Wenyong is very thoughtful, Grandpa. This matter is really not Brother Wenyong's fault."
Ye Wenyong: "..."
He didn't know what to say. What kind of face did this young lady play?
Seeing this, the old man smiled and said, "Tianhui is still sensible."
Ye Lizhen echoed from the side, "Yes, yes, Tianhui is sensible, much better than other children in the family..."
But in his heart, he thought that this little girl was not a good person. He knew it from the beginning. Now it seems that she is not a good person.
Ye Tianhui naturally noticed Ye Lizhen's thoughts.
But why should you be a good person when you are dealing with people who are not good people? Seeing their embarrassed looks, she was quite happy.
The topic passed by, and Grandpa Ye mentioned that several young people from the Gu family would come the next day, and asked the Ye family to entertain them at home. Everyone naturally agreed.
After a while, the young people gradually dispersed, and Ye Tianhui was kept by the grandpa to talk.
Ye Lixuan wanted to stay, but who knew that the grandpa said, "You go back first."
Ye Lixuan glanced at Ye Tianhui next to him and said, "Dad, Tianhui and I have something to talk about later."
To this, Ye Tianhui just pretended not to hear.
The old man directly attacked Ye Lixuan: "Go away, your daughter is so old, why does she need you to accompany her? I can't eat her!"
Seeing this, Ye Lixuan had to get up, but said: "Dad, she is still young, she was too noisy just now, but she didn't mean to sue Wen Yong, she just couldn't keep it to herself."
The old man waved his hand and motioned him to leave. Ye Lixuan looked at Ye Tianhui, but saw that her face was tense and she looked very cold, so he had to leave first.
Ye Wenyin actually wanted to stay here, she wanted to hear what the old man said, but it seemed that there was no reason, she couldn't get in the topic, so she had to follow Ye Lixuan back.
Ye Tianhui looked at the backs of the father and daughter indifferently, and felt sour.
Master Ye took a sip of the coffee and said with a smile, "What's wrong? Did you have a quarrel with your dad?"
Ye Tianhui said calmly, "No."
Master Ye shook his head and laughed, "Look at him. He was afraid that I would say something bad about you. He just wanted to make up for you! He is just too worried about you!"
Ye Tianhui didn't appreciate it: "He just said it casually, what does it have to do with me."
The old man: "Yes, he has no brains, you are much better than him, do you need him to worry about you?"
Ye Tianhui liked to hear this.
This is a father who holds his feet!
The old man sighed: "But, there is no overnight hatred between father and daughter, don't make such a fuss, your dad still loves you, he knows that you have suffered in the past, and he wants to make up for you, even though his temper is sometimes too stubborn, I don't know what he is thinking, but he is your father, you-"
Old man Ye wanted to say "you should be more tolerant", but he felt something was wrong halfway through the words.
Shouldn't he advise a father to be tolerant of his daughter, why is he asking a daughter to be tolerant of her dad now?
He frowned and said: "You should be more considerate of him."
Be considerate of him?
He is truly the best young master in the world!
Ye Tianhui: "Grandpa, he is the father. If I want to learn to be considerate, he must set an example for me first. If the upper beam is not straight, the lower beam will be crooked. If he can't learn it, don't expect me to learn it."
Old Master Ye was stunned, and then he couldn't help laughing: "You, you, how could your father give birth to you!"
**********
Ye Tianhui knew that she didn't need to argue with Ye Lixuan, but why did he call Ye Wenyin instead of calling her when he was on a business trip?
Ye Wenyin deliberately said that in front of her to show off.
He gave Ye Wenyin the opportunity to show off, so of course she was uncomfortable.
For her, any mercy he showed to Ye Wenyin was dazzling!
Not to mention this kind of warm concern, it was simply too much!
Ye Tianhui gritted her teeth, thinking that they should just break up, and quickly break up.
Who knew that when she went upstairs and was about to return to her room, Ye Lixuan stopped her.
Ye Tianhui was not very happy: "What's the matter?"
Ye Lixuan: "I need to talk to you about something."
Ye Tianhui said unhappily: "Daddy, we don't have anything to talk about, right?"
Ye Lixuan: "Come to my study."
Ye Tianhui: "Daddy, it's so late, I'm eighteen years old, do you always let me go to your study, is it appropriate? Even if you are your biological daughter, you have to be more particular, right?"
Ye Lixuan's eyes showed a trace of embarrassment, and he frowned.
Seeing him like this, Ye Tianhui smiled. She deliberately waved at him: "I'm going back to my room first, good night!"
She returned to her room and never went out again.
If you don't want to pay attention, then don't pay attention!
The next morning at breakfast time, Ye Lixuan seemed to want to talk to her, but she always had a cold face and refused to communicate.
What is there to talk about? You can't give her the shop now.
Humph, she doesn't want it!
- If you really want to give it to her, just take it out and put it next to her, why bother talking...
After breakfast, everyone went to the old man's place together, but saw that several younger generations of the Gu family had already arrived, including Gu Zhihan, Gu Jiayue, and the other two children of the Gu family.
Ye Tianhui looked at one of them and felt that he looked familiar. Then she heard him introduced as Gu Zhiming.
She immediately remembered that he was the host of a horse racing program. His comments were humorous and his opinions were sharp and unique. She had also seen some of his comments. He was still something.
She couldn't help but feel a little curious, so she looked at him a few more times, thinking that she could have a chat with him later.
At this time, Gu Zhiming also happened to look over. When their eyes met, Gu Zhiming smiled at Ye Tianhui.
Ye Tianhui nodded slightly and smiled at him in a friendly manner.
At this time, Gu Zhihan, who was talking to Ye Wenyin, secretly looked in the direction of Ye Tianhui.
Although he hadn't seen Ye Tianhui recently, he had actually been paying close attention to her. He knew that Ye Tianhui had won and had now taken over the work of Ye's Horse Company.
He was naturally happy for Ye Tianhui, and he felt that his vision was really good, and she was destined to shine.
He had talked to his mother before coming here, and his mother also admired Ye Tianhui. After listening to her, he felt relieved and felt that most of the obstacles to marrying Ye Tianhui had been removed.
He thought that he must make it clear with Ye Tianhui this time, and it would be best to finalize this matter, and then ask Mr. Ye's opinion. If Mr. Ye had no objection, then this matter could be done.
Today, he came with Gu Jiayue. After they came, Gu Jiayue pulled Ye Wenyin to talk intimately. He had no choice but to pretend to talk to Ye Wenyin, but his eyes were always on Ye Tianhui.
At first, Ye Tianhui didn't pay attention to him, which made him feel a little disappointed.
But soon he felt that Ye Tianhui's eyes seemed to be cast in his direction and looked at him for several times.
This feeling of being secretly watched by his sweetheart made Gu Zhihan blush. His ears were hot, and he felt as if this was a tacit understanding between him and Ye Tianhui in public.
He hid his thoughts more and more and looked at Ye Tianhui secretly.
At this moment, he saw Ye Tianhui actually pursed her lips and smiled in his direction.
That smile, clear and gentle, made his heart beat faster instantly.
She smiled, she smiled at herself.
It seemed that she also knew the reason for today's gathering, their affairs were about to be finalized, and she was willing.
Gu Zhihan felt that his whole body was floating, happiness rushed into his brain, making him almost lose the ability to think,
all this was really wonderful!
At this time, the second wife came over, she greeted everyone with a smile, chatted with everyone for a few words, and suggested that the young people go to the garden to play tennis.
The old man nodded and said, "Yes, you go and play tennis, I think it's interesting to watch you play."
After the old man said this, everyone went out to the garden, and Ye Tianhui naturally followed him out.
Ye Family Garden has all kinds of sports facilities, including online games and a swimming pool. However, the weather is a little cooler now, and the water in the swimming pool is gone. There are only a few scattered leaves that rustle in the wind.
Tennis is a doubles game, two on two. When forming teams, Gu Zhihan volunteered to be in a team with Ye Tianhui. Ye Tianhui didn't have any objection to this, after all, it was just a game of tennis.
Now she doesn't dislike Gu Zhihan too much, and she won't want to beat him up whenever she sees him.
The team on the other side happened to be Ye Wenyin and Gu Zhiming.
Ye Wenyin changed into sportswear and said with a smile: "Tianhui, can you play tennis?"
Ye Tianhui: "I've never played it before. Please tell me the rules."
When she said this, everyone looked at her in confusion.
Don't know the rules? Then why did she participate in the game?
Seeing this, Gu Zhiming smiled and said, "Let me talk to you."
Who knew that Gu Zhihan had already volunteered, "It's okay, I'll talk."
Ye Tianhui naturally said that anyone could talk, so Gu Zhihan told Ye Tianhui the rules of tennis. Gu Zhihan spoke eloquently and logically, and soon explained the rules to her clearly.
Gu Zhihan: "Have you remembered it? Is there anything you don't understand?"
Ye Tianhui: "Nothing to understand, let's start."
She played table tennis in China, and now she sees that it is nothing more than a ball game, you hit it back and I hit it back, the rules are just different in details.
Gu Zhihan comforted Ye Tianhui: "Tianhui, this is your first time to fight, it doesn't matter if you lose, don't worry."
Ye Tianhui looked at Gu Zhihan in confusion: "Lose? Why should I lose?"
She hasn't even started fighting yet, and you're saying she'll lose?
Gu Zhiming on the opposite side heard this and laughed: "It doesn't matter, let's just fight casually, friendship first and competition second."
Seeing this, Ye Wenyin couldn't help but laugh, thinking that these two brothers are very warm to Ye Tianhui? But it doesn't matter, if she wants to embarrass herself, let her do whatever she wants!
She will naturally win.
At this time, the game started, and the two sides fought back and forth.
Obviously, Gu Zhiming wanted to give in to Ye Tianhui, and Gu Zhihan was also a little worried that Ye Tianhui would lose face because she didn't know how to fight.
At first, Ye Tianhui was not very familiar with it, but after a few rounds, she got the hang of it.
She was quick to react, agile, and had amazing jumping ability. It was simply -
too wonderful!
The others present were naturally not optimistic at first, but after a few rounds, everyone looked at each other in surprise.
At first, she didn't seem to be pretending to not know the rules, but now this speed and strength are simply professional level!
She is so amazing!
Old Master Ye was also incredible: "Tianhui's tennis skills are amazing."
The second wife next to her looked at Ye Tianhui and frowned secretly, but she smiled and said: "Yes, she looks really good like this."
Ye Wenyin was even more surprised. She played tennis well, but she found that she was completely incomparable with Ye Tianhui on the opposite side. Ye Tianhui actually learned fake moves very quickly, or suddenly came up with a backhand slice.
The racket was just like a toy in her hand. She played it very well. She couldn't tell when she changed the racket or when she switched it!
In the end, Gu Zhihan, Gu Zhiming and Ye Wenyin all became her foils. Ye Tianhui dominated the whole court!
As for the descendants of the Gu and Ye families, they were all dumbfounded. They looked at each other. No one dared to run over and embarrass themselves.
They were far inferior to Ye Tianhui!
This -
did she really not understand tennis before?
Although Gu Zhihan became a foil, running back and forth, he was very happy.
He only thought that Ye Tianhui was good, she was good, she was good, she was the best!
And I am about to date her, that feeling is so happy!
After a game, Ye Tianhui won a great victory, the old man smiled and said: "Tianhui's skills are really good, have you practiced this specifically?"
Ye Tianhui smiled and said: "When I was in the mainland, I only played table tennis, not this, but I think the skills are similar, the key is to test the reaction ability, agility and speed."
Of course she is not bad at these, some of the training in the previous life is still engraved in her bones, learn the rules, she will immediately be a top player.
Old Master Ye smiled and said, "You all play with Tianhui."
His order made everyone a little timid, but there was nothing they could do. They had to bravely step forward to play with Ye Tianhui. Ye Tianhui swung her racket like the wind, reacted quickly, and hit the ball quickly, fiercely and accurately. All the brothers and sisters were beaten to a pulp and wailed.
Ye Lixuan stood in front of the French window, and from his angle he could just see the children playing ball.
The most eye-catching one here was naturally Ye Tianhui.
She was wearing a light blue casual sportswear, and her movements were smooth and light when she jumped, like flowing clouds and water, and she was heroic.
This reminded him of the day when she ran on the side of the road.
This little girl was like this, full of ups and downs, vitality, and full of blooming vitality.
When he thought about it, he remembered what Ye Tianhui said that night.
Just like what she said that day, she was ambitious, undisguised, and had a sharpness that no one could compete with.
She was like the blue sky and red sun in the cold winter, bright and dazzling, as hot as fire.
So, Ye Lixuan was strangled by a helpless feeling of inferiority.
He thought, Ye Tianhui was right, he was not worthy at all.
Compared with such a daughter, he was so shallow and ignorant, and his vision was so narrow and closed.
He was really wrong.
In fact, those accusations he made against her were nothing but impotent anger.
Because she didn't believe in him, she used him, and she didn't open her heart to him, so he was angry.
He was so selfish. He was so angry that he started to speak without thinking, saying so many unpleasant things to make himself feel better.
Now, she was angry with him and ignored him as a father.
He just looked out the window, frowning and thinking, how can he make his daughter happy now?
