Chapter 98
Ye Tianhui has been training horse racing intensively these past two days, but she has also taken some time out of her busy schedule to arrange a meeting between Ye Yibai and Gu Shizhang.
Gu Shizhang is obviously very positive about this matter. He has already mentioned it to Old Master Ye, and Old Master Ye is tacitly aware of it. Now Ye Lixuan has no opinion on this matter. He naturally doesn't care what other people in the Ye family think, but he obviously still wants to get Ye Yibai's approval. Ye Yibai and Ye Lixuan have a good relationship and are considered to be Ye Tianhui's closest relatives.
So on this day, Ye Lixuan arranged a meeting at a top restaurant. The restaurant is backed by mountains and faces the sea, and you can see the sea view of Victoria Harbor. It is said that it has been rated as a Michelin first-class restaurant for seven consecutive years.
Ye Tianhui and Gu Shizhang went there together. After arriving at the restaurant,
Ye Yibai smiled when she saw Gu Shizhang: "I never thought that you would be with my niece. What do you think we should do now?"
Gu Shizhang pursed his lips and chuckled, looking helpless: "What else can we do? I am not at your mercy now. Do you want me to call you aunt? Or should I call you auntie first?"
Tao Yunqiao beside him couldn't help laughing: "Call me aunt, then you can call me uncle, and I will be a generation ahead of you!"
Ye Tianhui heard this and said quickly: "Aunt, uncle, we are just in love now, Since they haven't said they want to get married, there's no need to rush to let him call them aunt and uncle."
Ye Yibai: "It doesn't matter, just call them like that first, so that we can also enjoy the pleasure of being the elders."
Seeing this, Gu Shizhang smiled and said: "Okay, then please have your seats, aunt and uncle."
Everyone laughed when they heard this.
The dishes came up one after another. The snacks in this restaurant are very well made and very delicate. They are placed on the luxurious tableware, just like works of art.
During the meal, Gu Shizhang's words were also quite respectful and careful, and he played the role of the younger generation very appropriately.
He smiled and said, "I remember that my aunt loved honey-glazed barbecued pork and deep-fried crab with pepper and salt. This restaurant makes them very tasty."
Ye Yibai smiled and said, "I haven't had much authentic Cantonese cuisine in the past few years when I was abroad. I'm so lucky to be back now." Tao
Yunqiao was full of emotion, "Shi Zhang was very arrogant in the past. I remember one year when Master Gu hosted a banquet, he showed up and said hello and then disappeared. If someone talked to him again, he wouldn't even look them in the eye."
Ye Yibai also smiled and said, "Yes, since then, "He had never looked anyone in the eye before, and he was so arrogant. We all said at that time that if Shi Zhang got married in the future, his wife would have to stay alone and be cautious, otherwise she would definitely annoy him. Who would have thought that today, she would be completely controlled by our niece and call us aunt and uncle!"
The two of them went over the past accounts. Gu Shi Zhang was calm and said with a smile: "It's nothing for aunt and uncle to make a few jokes."
Ye Tianhui said from the side: "Yes, it's better than getting beaten."
Get beaten?
Ye Yibai and Tao Yunqiao were surprised: "Who beat you?"
As they talked, their eyes fell on Ye Lixuan.
Ye Lixuan beat Gu Shi Zhang?
Ye Lixuan looked cold and expressionless and said: "Do you have to mention this?"
Gu Shizhang also looked at Ye Tianhui: "Huh?"
Suddenly met with the common protesting eyes of the two, Ye Tianhui knew she was guilty and immediately changed the subject: "Let's not mention such unpleasant things. By the way, this is really delicious, everyone try it!" As
she spoke, she used serving chopsticks to pick up the swan pastry for Ye Yibai and Tao Yunqiao, poured tea for Ye Lixuan, and secretly grabbed a handful of Gu Shizhang with her hand.
Seeing this, Ye Yibai didn't mention it anymore, but brought it up instead: "Since you are dating and your relationship is relatively stable, why haven't you mentioned it to anyone yet?"
Ye Tianhui: "Not yet. It's because of the generation gap, so we want to choose the right time."
Gu Shizhang listened and said, "Last time I visited the old man, he also mentioned it. He said that it's the horse racing season now, and our horses are participating in the competition, and it's also at the forefront of public opinion. He thought that the matter between Tianhui and me would attract people's attention, so he wanted to wait until the end of the racing season to announce it, so that it can be handled in a low-key manner."
Ye Lixuan also said, "Anyway, we're just dating, it's not a big deal. Are you in a hurry?"
Ye Yibai said, "That won't do. Although we are just dating, we can't have no name or status."
Gu Shizhang heard this and said, "According to custom, my father will hold a banquet to entertain relatives and friends on the winter solstice in a few days, and then the announcement will be made?"
Ye Yibai listened and said, "That's good."
Gu Shizhang's winter solstice banquet for relatives and friends is actually a big deal, because Hong Kong has always attached great importance to the winter solstice, and there is a custom of celebrating the winter solstice like the New Year. The front and back of the Gu family's house are full of maple trees, and the maple trees happen to change color on the winter solstice, so taking this opportunity, Mr. Gu will invite political and business celebrities to come and appreciate the red leaves and eat hot pot together.
The level of this family dinner is naturally extraordinary. The announcement on this occasion also shows that the Gu family attaches great importance to the relationship between the two people. Ye Yibai is naturally satisfied.
Gu Shizhang heard this and looked at Ye Lixuan again: "Uncle Ye, what do you think?"
When Uncle Ye appeared, Ye Yibai and Tao Yunqiao both felt awkward. After all, they didn't get along like this before.
But this is a different time, and everyone can only suppress it, as if they are calm.
Ye Lixuan: "If Uncle Gu has no objection, of course I have nothing to say."
But after he finished speaking, he also felt that something seemed wrong.
If he called Gu Shizhang's father uncle, what would Gu Shizhang call himself, wouldn't the generation division be messed up?
But now he couldn't address Old Master Gu as an equal, so he could only ignore it.
Gu Shizhang listened and said with a smile: "I have already mentioned it to my father, and he naturally has no objection. If he wants to, then when my father comes to visit in a few days, I will take the opportunity to bring up this matter?"
Ye Yibai smiled and said: "Okay, I think it's a good idea, what do you think, brother?"
She looked at Ye Lixuan, and Ye Lixuan nodded: "Then let's do it."
**********
After returning home that day, Ye Lixuan told Old Master Ye, and Old Master Ye was naturally satisfied. He specially called Ye Tianhui over for tea that day.
The so-called tea, of course, is to talk about serious matters.
Old Master Ye said with a smile: "I haven't even asked you how you and Shi Zhang started dating."
Ye Tianhui: "We just saw that each other was good-looking, and then we got together."
Old Master Ye laughed when he heard this: "Come to think of it, you guys have already started talking about it?" Ye Tianhui nodded.
Old
Master Ye: "Last time he came to our house, I felt that he had something to say, and I was wondering why, but I didn't expect it was because of this. He can hold it in!" Ye Tianhui smiled but said nothing. Old Master Ye: "This kid has good taste, too good taste, the best granddaughter of our Ye family is taken by him!" He was naturally satisfied with this granddaughter, very satisfied. In fact, when he first saw Ye Tianhui at the Benteng Racecourse, he was very impressed, but at that time he never thought that this granddaughter could be so outstanding, and all aspects were beyond his expectations. She was simply the most outstanding offspring of the two generations of the Ye family. As he thought about it, he suddenly thought of something: "Since you have been together for a long time, when he came, you actually called him uncle, you——" Old Master Ye took a breath and said, "Young man, what are you thinking about!" In fact, although he was a little concerned about this generation division, he didn't care that much. After all, he was very satisfied that Ye Tianhui could be with Gu Shizhang. You know, Old Master Ye was a little worried about his birthday this time. You must know that since the opening of Hong Kong, wealthy families that have been rich for generations have been born. These wealthy families have become the top of the wealthy circle in Hong Kong. Among them, several large families are old-fashioned top nobles, including the Gu family, the Meng family, and the current Ning family. Compared with these big families, the Ye family can be mentioned in terms of wealth and strength, but they only moved to Hong Kong in the 1950s, and it has only been 20 years. Compared with those traditional wealthy families, their foundation is a little shallow. This is why Mr. Ye wants to develop in horse racing, which can also enhance the status of his family in the Hong Kong circle. Now Ye Tianhui's racehorse is breaking through the gates and defeating the generals on the racecourse, making great strides all the way. This is the time when the Ye family is at its strongest. Naturally, he also wants to take the opportunity to improve his status and expand his influence to the business, judicial and political circles. All of these require an opportunity, and the Gu family is naturally his opportunity. Mr. Gu's winter solstice family dinner is an annual ritual for the big guys in Xiangjiang. At that time, political and business celebrities will come to attend the banquet. Mr. Ye will naturally go there in previous years, and Mr. Gu naturally intends to help him. However, Mr. Ye also understands that some people have conservative ideas. Even if the Ye family's financial strength is acceptable, there are still some people who feel that the Ye family is not enough to join the circle of top celebrities. This year, one is that his family is in the limelight by overcoming all obstacles on the racecourse, and the other is that Gu Shizhang is also called his grandson-in-law. It is conceivable that he will definitely steal the limelight. And what will follow is his birthday banquet, which will naturally attract the support of all parties. When the time comes, he will take the opportunity to establish his status in all walks of life and enhance his voice. This is his plan. Thinking of this, Grandpa Ye sighed: "I have discussed with Grandpa Gu, and we will announce the good news between you and Shi Zhang at the winter solstice family dinner." "Good news"? Ye Tianhui listened and frowned slightly: "Grandpa, we are just dating now, not getting married." Grandpa Ye nodded: "I know, I know, you are dating, dating is falling in love, it's the same thing." Ye Tianhui: "..." She knew it. Once it was announced, it actually meant that many things were out of her control. But thinking about the relationship between her and Gu Shi Zhang, it seemed that there was nothing to hesitate about. If it really came to that, it was not impossible. She had no choice but to say, "I'm still young anyway, and I don't want to get married for the time being." Old Master Ye smiled when he heard this, "I understand, don't worry, Shi Zhang has mentioned all these to me." ************** During the daytime of the past two days, Ye Tianhui has been immersed in the horse farm. Now she has marked out a horse training area for herself, deliberately avoiding the big jockeys and horse trainers, so that she can practice on her own. This is not strange. Now that the season is about to begin, each family naturally has its own secrets, and no one wants others to see them training horses. After the training that day, she took a simple shower, but Gu Shizhang came over. When Gu Shizhang pushed the door of the stable and came in, he saw her just about to go out, with a few strands of soft black hair wetly sticking to her fair ears. After taking a hot shower, her cheeks were flushed, and she looked like a bud about to bloom, so charming. Gu Shizhang pursed his lips and said calmly: "Don't wash your hair at the horse farm in the future." Ye Tianhui: "What's wrong?" These few days when she was at the horse farm, he would come to pick her up, take her out for dinner or something, and then send her home. He was familiar with the routine now. Gu Shizhang: "It's cold, I'm afraid you'll catch a cold easily." Ye Tianhui thought about it, but still said: "I just rode a horse, I'm sweating, and I feel uncomfortable. Why don't I go home and wash it." Gu Shizhang understood what she meant. If she went home to wash it first, she probably wouldn't be able to date him in the evening. He didn't say anything, but just took a scarf and tied it on her. The scarf was soft and comfortable, and his slender fingers deftly tied a beautiful knot. Ye Tianhui felt his fingertips accidentally brushing her chin, which was a very comfortable feeling. She looked up at him and smiled: "You seem to be very good at tying scarves." Gu Shizhang smiled and said: "Don't think too much, this is my first time too, who else can I tie a scarf for besides you." He held her face and looked at it. The scarf covered her hair and mouth, leaving only her eyes and nose exposed. The tip of her nose was curled, which was very beautiful. But her eyes were big and bright. When looking at each other like this, looking into her eyes, I just felt full of love and tenderness. He smiled and said: "My Huihui is getting more and more beautiful, the most beautiful in the world." Ye Tianhui blinked: "I think so too." Gu Shizhang chuckled, and while laughing like this, he put his coat on her and put his hat on her. Ye Tianhui felt that his smile was warm and comfortable, and he was also warm when he took care of her. In a somewhat cold winter, all of this was really enjoyable, and she couldn't help but stay in his arms. Gu Shizhang held her hand and said, "Let's go."
Ye Tianhui followed him out. At this time, Lin Jianquan and Chen Zongwan happened to pass by. When they saw her, they said hello.
They were used to it and knew that Gu Shizhang would come to pick her up every day.
However, they had not made it public yet. Gu Shizhang was very careful in doing things. Only a few of them knew about it. Every time he came and went, he was silent.
Ye Tianhui saw Lin Jianquan and Chen Zongwan, and then she instructed them: "Tomorrow we will train the horses. Remember to trim Black Rose's hooves after morning exercises."
Lin Jianquan nodded: "Yes, I know, I will remember."
After a while, Gu Shizhang took Ye Tianhui's hand and left, and went to park the car.
Walking on the road, Gu Shizhang smiled and said, "Your two favorites look better than before."
Ye Tianhui: "Oh, how are they better? I also want to hear your evaluation."
Gu Shizhang pondered for a moment and said, "Before, they were more aggressive than before, but not stable enough. Now they are more patient than before."
Ye Tianhui glanced at Gu Shizhang.
In any case, this man had been an emperor for so many years in his previous life, so he still had some ability to judge people.
She was satisfied that he could give such an evaluation to the two riders.
Gu Shizhang: "The finals of the King of Hell will also start by then. Isn't it difficult for you to arrange it?"
Ye Tianhui: "Let's talk about it later."
She actually said that.
Gu Shizhang looked at her: "It seems that you are confident." Ye Tianhui smiled and said, "It's about the same." Seeing this, Gu Shizhang didn't ask any more questions
. She didn't want to say it, but she had her reasons. The two of them got in the car, and Gu Shizhang started the car: "What do you want to eat?" Ye Tianhui leaned lazily on the leather seat: "Whatever, I don't have much appetite today, I'm tired, so I want to rest early." Gu Shizhang looked at her. The light in the car was dim, and she leaned back there, highlighting her clear and beautiful profile lines. He asked softly: "Are you going back to Mid-Levels today?" Mid-Levels is the old house of the Ye family. Ye Tianhui occasionally goes there these days, and sometimes just lives in Causeway Bay. The Ye family knows that she is busy now, and they also know that she may not go back. Now she has an extraordinary status in the Ye family, and no one dares to ask or control her. Ye Tianhui was a little tired, half-closed her eyes, and hummed, "I'm not going back." Gu Shizhang: "Then go to my place?" When he said this, his voice was a little soft. Ye Tianhui opened her eyes lazily, and when she looked over, her eyes were a little strange. Since the last time, although the two of them were still close, they had not tried again. What he said made her think about it. Training horses is very hard now, and she feels that she needs some comfort. She thought about it and said, "I won't help you like last time, I'll be tired too!" Tired wrist. Gu Shizhang heard this and his eyes suddenly fell on her face. He smiled bitterly, and then said helplessly: "You-" Why can she say this kind of thing so openly, guiltlessly, and without any shame. He paused and finally said, "I won't let you work hard." Ye Tianhui raised her eyebrows: "Oh? I asked you to study more, did you learn?" Gu Shizhang pursed his lips and said implicitly: "I learned." Ye Tianhui was somewhat interested, she looked at him: "What did you learn?" At this moment, Gu Shizhang felt like a primary school student being questioned by the dean. However, he still said truthfully: "We can try something else." Ye Tianhui: "Okay!" Gu Shizhang's car drove slowly on the street, and he said gently: "Today I went to visit the old man and talked about our affairs. It seems that he likes it very much. However, he also mentioned that there is a difference in our generations after all, so we should not be rash. I thought that we should wait until it is officially announced. Before that, we need to lay more groundwork and be careful not to spread it. Otherwise, those tabloids will just make up something and who knows what to say." This is also the reason why Gu Shizhang has been acting extra cautiously recently. Even when he came to pick up Ye Tianhui, he was careful everywhere and avoided the crowd. Whatever happened in private, he still had to consider Ye Tianhui's reputation in public. He didn't want people to make random guesses before the official announcement. Ye Tianhui naturally understood what he said. This was actually equivalent to the consent of the elders on both sides. So in this case, it didn't seem to be a heresy to try it out - of course, the most important thing was that both of them were very interested. *************** Perhaps because she had already had some ideas or expectations, as soon as she entered Gu Shizhang's house, Ye Tianhui felt that the atmosphere was very different. There was an ambiguous air flowing around, and even the lights were hazy. The simple dinner was also charming. Occasionally, when he picked up some food for her, she felt that his eyes were very special. But after the meal, he didn't seem to say anything and kept silent. The two of them sat on the sofa and watched TV. They were watching the Horse Racing Channel. Now the Horse Racing Channel studies popular horses every day and analyzes the day's races. As for Hell King, Black Rose, Invincible and Dragon Beauty, they were the focus of attention. Now Hell King is already quite famous, and Ke Zhiming's Dragon Beauty is even more popular. The other horses are also well-known. The host discussed the pros and cons of several horses enthusiastically. From time to time, there were calls on the hotline to consult about the betting situation. It seems that most people prefer Dragon Beauty, and the number of fans who invest in Dragon Beauty has increased dramatically. Gu Shizhang looked at this scene and whispered: "Change the channel, don't watch it anymore." Ye Tianhui smiled: "It doesn't matter, just watch it, what's the big deal?" Gu Shizhang: "I know you are confident, but don't affect your mood." After speaking, he stretched out his hand and turned off the TV directly. Ye Tianhui smiled and leaned on his shoulder. She raised her eyes and looked at him and said, "How do you know I'm confident?" Gu Shizhang lowered his eyes and looked at her: "This is a kind of intuition. Intuition tells me that you will definitely win." He paused for a moment: "Maybe because you are Ye Tianhui."
Ye Tianhui smiled, she raised her arms and held Gu Shizhang's neck: "What did you learn? Tell me now."
Gu Shizhang saw that she was a little arrogant, so he held her in his arms.
He leaned down and whispered in her ear: "Then don't talk."
The hot air sprayed gently on Ye Tianhui's neck, and Ye Tianhui felt itchy: "Why?"
Gu Shizhang was silent for a while, frowned, and said with some confusion: "Why do I feel a little embarrassed when you talk?"
Ye Tianhui was stunned for a moment, and then almost laughed out loud.
She smiled and raised her hands, holding his face: "You won't blush, will you? Come, let me see."
Gu Shizhang couldn't stand it anymore, he leaned down and kissed her: "Shut up."
********
It must be said that Gu Shizhang is very good at it now.
He is very good at kissing.
He is very measured, gradual, and not too excessive, but he makes people feel very comfortable, and she is addicted to it.
The temperature in the room gradually rose, and Gu Shizhang's breathing became rapid. He held it in his mouth greedily, and then pulled it lightly, so that the two plum blossoms bloomed charmingly.
Gu Shizhang said hoarsely: "It's pink."
The light pink, the color of the thin and soft petals, was different from what he imagined, and very different from his own color.
Pink, but also small, smaller than he thought.
Maybe she is smaller?
But he still liked it very much, liked it so much that he wanted to swallow it in one gulp.
Ye Tianhui's face was full of charm. When she heard this, her ears were also hot, but she still asked curiously: "What color are you?"
Gu Shizhang directly covered her eyes: "Okay, don't say anything, be good, you just need to enjoy it."
Ye Tianhui was not very satisfied. She wanted to see more, but he didn't let her, so she had to stop.
In fact, she felt very comfortable when he did this, and she wanted to continue.
So she hugged his head and squeezed it lightly.
This action was subconscious, but it made Gu Shizhang more excited.
Of course, he tried to control himself and be careful.
After all, now is not the time, it is impossible to get married, and it is impossible to make her pregnant.
He held the two handfuls of snow and looked at them in the hazy light.
It was not big, but delicate and lovely, yet firm and sweet.
She was very beautiful, and he was so fond of her that his heart was trembling.
He bent down more and more, eating greedily, eating it in, pulling it gently, watching the plum blossom bounce back, feeling her tenseness, and the low moans that could not be suppressed.
She obviously liked it too, and she took the initiative to coil around him and entangle him like a vine.
Gu Shizhang took a breath.
He stopped moving, closed his eyes, felt silently, and used his willpower to suppress and resist.
This was what she brought to him, and it was very touching.
After a long while, he finally suppressed her stubbornness and whispered, "Don't move."
She didn't mean to do it, but she might have seen something, subconsciously, and he couldn't stand it at all.
At this time, Ye Tianhui raised her face slightly and looked at him curiously: "Don't you like this? I think you are always like that..."
Gu Shizhang took a deep breath: "Be good, don't move, you will get pregnant."
Pregnancy...
Ye Tianhui probably understood and quickly retreated: "I know, I know."
