Chapter 60

At this time, a breeze blew, and the small-leaved banyan tree rustled.

The old man felt cold and tired easily at his age, so he planned to go back. A group of young people were playing their own games, and some were playing games on the side.

Ye Tianhui was still playing tennis, and the game was fierce. After Ye Wenyin and Gu Zhiming were defeated, Gu Jiayue was obviously not convinced. She pulled a cousin to compete. Seeing this, Gu Zhihan was proud: "You will definitely lose if you compete with us." Gu

Jiayue's face was not good. She bit her lip and glared at Gu Zhihan secretly. What kind of person is this? He is siding with outsiders!

At that time, Gu Jiayue did not say anything, but secretly competed with others, wanting to win.

Ye Tianhui soon discovered that the two children of the Gu family were quite capable. It seemed that they were not just embroidered pillows, so she focused on them.

She naturally had no reason to lose in playing ball, so after a few rounds, Gu Jiayue showed signs of defeat. She was obviously not convinced, and used her skills to deliberately tamper with the serve, deliberately letting the ball hit the net.

The ball that hit the net depended on whether Ye Tianhui could save it.

If she couldn't save it, it didn't matter if she hit the net herself, she just couldn't do it.

When everyone saw the ball hitting the net, they were naturally worried and watched with wide eyes.

But they saw Ye Tianhui leap in the air and save the ball steadily with a beautiful and incredible arc.

Everyone was more and more amazed. This stress response ability and secondary activation ability were simply amazing. Is this still a human being? !

Ye Tianhui won beautifully. She was a little tired after exercising for a while. At this time, the maid brought all kinds of snacks and fruits. She sat down at the stone table and drank some water while watching others play.

As soon as she sat down, Gu Zhiming walked over to her and sat down. She smiled and greeted him.

It was obvious that Gu Zhiming was quite interested in her. He smiled and mentioned the three inter-class competitions she won:

"You were able to win three times out of three bets. This shows your vision. I have studied horse racing for many years but still cannot achieve your vision. I really admire you."

Ye Tianhui smiled and said, "It's nothing. It's the right time, right place, right people and some luck."

She took a sip of Coke and said, "If I could win every time I bet, I would have made a fortune long ago. Sometimes it's just a little bit of luck."

Gu Zhiming smiled and said, "You still have the ability. Nine points of ability plus the last point of luck."

Ye Tianhui: "That's about right."

Ye Tianhui was interested in Gu Zhiming's work. She smiled and asked about the topics of the horse racing TV program. Gu Zhiming would give a detailed explanation of a topic on horse racing every week and would also comment on the famous racehorses in Hong Kong. Ye Tianhui had some questions and took the opportunity to ask them. The two of them had a great conversation for a while.

Who knew that while they were chatting, Gu Zhihan suddenly came over and said, "Tianhui, they said they wanted to go over and see those birds. Do you want to go with us?" The

Ye family garden not only has some flowers and plants, but also birds, all of which are valuable species. Some of the parrots are even more beautiful and clever.

However, Ye Tianhui was not very interested. She glanced at Gu Zhihan and said, "Zhihan, thank you, but it's not necessary. You guys go and see."

Gu Zhihan listened and was naturally disappointed. Just as he was about to say something, who knew that Ye Tianhui had already continued to talk to Gu Zhiming. Gu Zhiming was telling her about international equestrian competitions, the difference between equestrian competitions and speed competitions, and the inclusion of equestrian competitions in the Olympics.

Ye Tianhui listened with great interest, she knew about the Olympics: "I remember in the 1930s, one of our Chinese athletes traveled across the ocean to the United States to participate in the Olympics?"

She only remembered seeing a report about this in an old newspaper somewhere. She was deeply impressed at the time and also a little curious. After all, it was a distant world to her.

Gu Zhiming said, "Yes, this person is Liu Changchun, and he is the first person from China to participate in the Olympics

." He paused, then said, "At that time, Japan was entrenched in the three northeastern provinces and supported the pseudo-Manchuria. In order to gain a status in the international arena, the pseudo-Manchuria wanted to go to the United States to participate in the Olympics and create a lot of publicity."

These were naturally unfamiliar to Ye Tianhui. The report she saw was already yellowed, and they were all simple interviews, not so detailed.

She guessed, "So the fake Manchuria wanted to gain international recognition by participating in the Olympics. Once they participated in the Olympics as an independent country, they might have more reason to gain a firm foothold in the future?"

Although the times limited and various books were scarce in the mainland, she took advantage of various opportunities to collect historical books to read. Combined with some experiences in her previous life, she could naturally see this matter clearly.

It looks like a sports competition, but in fact, it is a struggle for legitimate reputation.

This is like a branch of a small country in Pangbang that killed the king at the time to usurp the throne. The first thing it did was to bring tribute and send envoys to Dazhao. In fact, it was to gain the recognition of Dazhao. Once Dazhao responded, or even conferred a title, the status of the branch that usurped the throne would be determined.

No matter what era, a political power must pay attention to its status; without it, it is difficult to gain a foothold.

Gu Zhiming's eyes were filled with admiration: "Yes, you are right. That's why China had to send people to participate in that Olympic Games. It absolutely could not allow the Pseudo-Manchuria to participate in the name of China. So this was not a sports competition, but a competition for China's national destiny."

Ye Tianhui nodded: "I see."

Gu Zhiming: "Mr. Liu Changchun was actually extremely talented, but it was a pity that he came too late. He had a long journey without rest, and he went to the competition alone after a long journey. He failed to enter the finals by a small margin, which left him with regrets."

Although Ye Tianhui knew the outcome of this matter, she still felt a little regretful when she heard what Gu Zhiming said.

Although her dynasty left no trace on the Chinese land, the people there were nurtured by the Yellow River. They were the same as today's China in terms of culture, geography and even some history. They could be said to have the same roots and origins. Facing the white-skinned, curly-haired Westerner, she naturally hoped that the sons and daughters of China could show their prowess.

She sighed, "It's a pity, but it's enough that he can represent our Chinese nation to participate in the competition. At least it prevents the conspiracy of the fake Manchuria from succeeding."

Gu Zhiming nodded, "Yes, Mr. Liu Changchun had a long journey and was in a tight schedule. He was weak and exhausted when he arrived in the United States. There were only two people in the entire delegation. In order to increase their influence, they found a few overseas Chinese to participate in the opening ceremony together-"

He paused and said, "One of the overseas Chinese was my cousin. He happened to be in Los Angeles, USA at the time."

Ye Tianhui was surprised, "So that's how it is."

But it is not surprising if you think about it carefully. The Gu family had its roots in Singapore in the early years and also had some assets in other countries. At that time, the Gu family was concerned about the country, so it was reasonable for them to go to pick up the players from their homeland and join the team at that time.

Gu Zhiming: "About 20 years ago, the mainland actually participated in the Olympics once, but then it stopped, which is a pity."

When he mentioned this, he smiled bitterly: "Because equestrian events have become an Olympic event, I have also been paying attention to it in recent years. In the past few years, I even went to the Olympics as a guest to participate in the commentary, but there was really nothing I could do. There were other countries' flags flying there, but not ours. I hope we can see some changes in our lifetime."

When Gu Zhihan listened to them talking about this, he was actually not interested. He was thinking about his own thoughts.

She was actually chatting with Gu Zhiming enthusiastically, and Gu Zhiming still wanted to mention these to her, so what exactly did they mean?

Gu Zhiming actually wanted to compete with him?

As for Ye Tianhui, didn't she understand that it was herself who wanted to talk to her, not Gu Zhiming, so what was the meaning of her talking to Gu Zhiming like this?

Ye Tianhui and Gu Zhiming were chatting happily, and when she looked up, she saw Gu Zhihan standing aside, with a gloomy face, neither leaving nor talking. She couldn't help wondering:

"Zhihan, what's wrong with you? Is there anything else?"

Gu Zhihan listened to this, pulled his lips, and smiled sarcastically: "Okay, you guys chat, I'm leaving first."

He turned and left.

But in his heart, he was thinking, he was angry.

He was really angry!

If she didn't coax him well, he would definitely not forgive her!

Then don't talk about it for now, just hold her back and wait for her to reflect on it!

**********

Ye Lixuan searched for his daughter in the crowd, but she was gone.

He looked over and saw Gu Zhihan standing next to Ye Tianhui under the arched pavilion next to the carved iron fence, as if he was talking to Ye Tianhui.

Next to him was Gu Zhiming.

He frowned immediately.

He naturally understood what the old man meant, but he didn't think much of Gu Zhihan. This boy was so impetuous, how could he be worthy of his daughter?

He looked at the way Gu Zhihan talked to his daughter. The two seemed to be talking very seriously. Did Gu Zhihan seem to blush?

He couldn't help but ponder, thinking about his daughter's boyfriend.

In any case, he didn't want his daughter to marry this Gu Zhihan.

*****

After Ye Tianhui and Gu Zhiming chatted for a while, she was called by another grandson of the Gu family to play tennis. The kid was obviously proficient in tennis and was unwilling to admit defeat, so he challenged her. Ye Tianhui was not polite and gave him a killer move, which made him convinced.

She won and was in a good mood. She was thirsty at this time, so she simply stopped playing and went back to her living room.

She took a large Coke from the refrigerator and went up the stairs. After climbing up the stairs, she was going back to her room. Who knew that when she turned around, she saw the figure standing in front of the French window.

A wisteria flower hung from the quaint dark green window frame, and the light came in, reflecting a warm red.

He was wearing a white casual suit, and his figure was tall, like a drop of ink in the water, forming a black and white shadow

. She stopped in her tracks.

She wanted to leave, but she didn't move.

He was obviously waiting for her.

She pursed her lips and held the Coke bottle in her hand: "What's the matter? Is there something wrong?"

The tone was not very friendly, and even had a little bit of arrogance.

Ye Lixuan: "Come here, let's chat."

Ye Tianhui said indifferently: "Is there anything we can talk about?"

Ye Lixuan looked at her unfamiliar appearance, and it was clear that she was a little annoyed with him.

He said softly, "There is no overnight hatred between father and daughter. If you are angry about something, we can talk about it."

Ye Tianhui thought of Ye Wenyin's provocation yesterday, and she snorted, with a proud look on her face, "I remember what you said, I despise the poor and love the rich, I am vain for power, I am greedy for money and I am full of lies."

Hearing this, Ye Lixuan frowned slightly, "Your memory is not bad, you remember every word I said."

Ye Tianhui: "Of course, it hurts so much, so I remember it clearly."

Ye Lixuan: "Then why don't you remember what your family doctor told you to do? You need to take care of your body and replenish your nutrition. Have you forgotten?"

Ye Tianhui: "..."

She frowned and looked at him in disbelief.

Now that she was angry with him, shouldn't he comfort her? He even wanted to control her?

How could he be someone's father? Would he be able to comfort a child?

Ye Lixuan stepped forward, took the Coke bottle from Ye Tianhui, and then held her hand: "Come here."

Ye Tianhui was reluctant: "Don't hold my hand. I'm so old, a grown-up girl. Even if you are my father, please stay away. Men and women should not touch each other."

Ye Lixuan was amused and angry. He had been manipulated by her with this last night, so he naturally didn't fall for it now. He said directly: "Don't talk to me about this. What? You are my daughter, and I can't talk to you? I can't hold your hand?"

As he said that, he directly pulled her to the terrace.

Ye Tianhui was reluctant to let him hold her hand, but she didn't struggle.

Ye Lixuan asked her to sit on the sofa next to the tea table.

After they sat down, he said gently, "Would you like something to drink?"

Ye Tianhui's face was full of reluctance: "No." Ye

Lixuan looked at Ye Tianhui with a smile: "Okay, let's get down to business. First of all, I must admit that what I said that day was inappropriate. Tianhui, I solemnly apologize to you. It's my own fault that I'm too shallow. You see farther than me and think more than me. In this regard, I will never be as good as you."

Ye Tianhui listened to him apologizing, looked at him, and sighed helplessly.

Afterwards, she said, "Daddy, since you've apologized, I won't say anything."

Ye Lixuan smiled and said, "Then do you forgive me?"

Ye Tianhui: "What if I don't forgive you?"

She sighed and said with no hope in life: "Actually, this is not the first time you apologize to me. I'm used to it. Some people always make mistakes again and again. There is no way to change them. Anyway, if they make mistakes, the worst thing to do is to apologize."

This mocking...

Ye Lixuan smiled bitterly: "Actually, what I mean is that since we have become father and daughter in this life, this is the fate we cultivated in the previous life, and we should cherish it."

Ye Tianhui: "But I definitely didn't have you in my previous life, and you are not my fate!"

She had never met such a person in her previous life.

Even if there was, such a person would have been kicked aside by her long ago.

Ye Lixuan didn't argue with her and continued: "Maybe we don't understand each other well enough, but everything can be done slowly, right?"

Ye Tianhui raised her eyes and looked at Ye Lixuan.

Ye Lixuan then felt that the pair of black and white eyes were looking at him seriously.

Ye Tianhui sighed again, shook her head, and said helplessly: "Actually... if you are willing to admit your mistakes and apologize to me, then I won't have to bear a grudge against you. A prime minister can hold a boat in his stomach. As a daughter, why should I argue with a father? Let's forget about this matter."

Ye Lixuan: "Can you really forgive me and not be angry with me?"

Ye Tianhui: "Of course, I'm not the kind of person who likes to bear grudges. It's just something, I won't worry about it."

Ye Lixuan smiled: "Okay, then let's end the cold war."

However, Ye Tianhui looked at him and asked: "But there is one thing I have to ask."

Ye Lixuan: "Hmm?"

Ye Tianhui: "What about the shop, do you still want to give it to me?"

Ye Lixuan: "..."

He smiled bitterly: "Yes, of course, how dare I not give it to you? I have already prepared the procedures, and I will let my assistant take you to do it later, In addition to these, I will give you a credit card limit, okay? "

Ye Tianhui smiled: "That's right, look at you, do you have any other blood besides me? Aren't all your things mine, right? Can you let outsiders take advantage of them?"

Ye Lixuan: "...It seems to be the case."

Ye Tianhui: "That's it, anyway, I think you have such a bad temper, no woman will like you, are you willing to You will definitely not be able to give birth to a new child!"

She looked at him and sighed: "So, you only have this one child of mine. In order to avoid me kicking you out of the house when you are old, you should know what to do, right? Can you still count on Ye Wenyin? Can she take care of you until the end of your life? Don't be silly, your biggest problem is that you can't face the reality. If you have no money and are not the son of the Ye family, you would have been kicked aside long ago!"

Ye Lixuan laughed dumbly.

Then he smiled at her and said: "It doesn't matter, I naturally can't expect her to take care of me in my old age. In fact, when I am old, you don't have to worry about me. I can live in a nursing home, and then I will give you all my property, okay?"

Ye Tianhui: "That will be many years later."

Who knows what will happen in the future.

Ye Lixuan stopped smiling and said, "There is one more thing you will like very much. I need to mention it to you."

Ye Tianhui: "Hmm?"

Ye Lixuan: "Actually, I wanted to tell you last night, but you ignored me and delayed it."

Ye Tianhui frowned: "What is it?"

Ye Lixuan said, "You know, you have an aunt, right?"

Ye Tianhui: "Yes, grandpa mentioned it."

That day, she met so many branches of the Ye family and relatives of the Ye family in one go. Her grandfather mentioned this aunt, saying that she married into the Tao family and is now in the United States to accompany her husband for treatment, and she has no time to spare.

This aunt is the only one who has the same mother as Ye Lixuan. According to the past saying, this is a legitimate relative.

Ye Lixuan smiled and said, "She is naturally very happy to know that you have returned to your ancestral home. She has prepared a gift for you."
