Chapter 100
Ye Wenyin watched Gu Zhihan walk into the inner hall.
That inner hall is naturally not an ordinary place.
Mr. Gu has been doing business in Hong Kong for many years, and people from all walks of life have to give him face. A special private banquet table has been set up in the backyard. Those who can sit at that table are naturally extraordinary people. It can be said that it brings together important figures from both the political and business circles of Hong Kong.
For a banquet like this, not to mention a grandchild like Gu Zhihan, even for Gu Zhihan's father's generation, only those with promising family backgrounds could sit at the table.
Ye Wenyin naturally understood. For example, in this arrangement, only two people of Ye Lixuan's generation could sit at the banquet table. One was Ye Lizhen, who now controlled the family business, and the other was Ye Lixuan.
Ye Lixuan is naturally inferior to other uncles in the family, relying on his "legitimate" status and the face of an academic master. Businessmen care about these things and pay attention to what they lack.
Ye Wenyin felt relieved that Gu Zhihan's father could sit at that table.
Gu Zhihan's father has a promising future in the Gu family. Now that he has agreed to her marriage with Gu Zhihan, she actually has nothing to worry about.
Even if Gu Zhihan's mother objected, so what? She understood that in such a family, Gu Zhihan's mother's opinion was actually not worth mentioning and she could ignore it.
After she gets married, she will naturally try to win over her mother-in-law's heart. Even if she fails, she will be able to control Gu Zhihan.
At this time, Gu Zhihan went to the inner hall and happened to see his father Gu Shili. He immediately told Gu Shili about this matter.
Gu Shili was also shocked: "You actually——"
He sighed, "How can you do this? You are so tactless!"
She's pregnant!
Gu Zhihan hung his head. "Daddy, there's nothing we can do about it. She's pregnant with our Gu family's child now. What can we do? We can't just leave our Gu family's child stranded out there, right? We have to find a way to marry her off. If you don't tell her today, she'll probably have an abortion. After all, she's a daughter of the Ye family, and she has her dignity to uphold."
Abortion...
Gu Shili took a deep breath and almost wanted to say, if you want an abortion, then go ahead and have one!
Who are you threatening!
But looking at his son's anxious look, he couldn't bear it, so he sighed and said, "Okay, I'll talk to your grandfather about it today, in front of Old Master Ye. I'll make this matter public, and I'll make sure you marry her."
Gu Zhihan was naturally delighted when he heard this, and nodded repeatedly: "Daddy, my mommy is here too. She has never liked Wen Yin, so you can't let her know. At least wait until Grandpa and Grandpa Ye agree, and then tell her. That way, she won't be able to object."
Gu Shili nodded helplessly: "Okay, okay, I understand."
**********
For a while, Gu Shizhang accompanied Ye Tianhui to the VIP room. Ye Tianhui knew several people present, and the two of them came forward to greet them.
It was fine for Ye Tianhui, after all, she was Mr. Gu's granddaughter. Everyone had seen her recently and had introduced themselves to her, so there was no need to be too polite. However, when they saw Gu Shizhang, everyone's eyes lit up.
You should know that Gu Shizhang's economic influence is not in Hong Kong, but in Europe and the United States. His recent big spending in the UK has attracted even more attention. It is said that he was invited to attend a banquet of the British royal family some time ago because of this big spending. Such a person is naturally the object that everyone must curry favor with - this is also one of the reasons why Mr. Gu sits firmly in the top position among Hong Kong celebrities, he has a promising son.
At that moment, everyone naturally stood up. The government official Mr. Lu even stepped forward and shook Gu Shizhang's hand, as if he was very friendly and familiar with him. He called him "Shizhang" and invited him to take a seat.
Then he turned around and said to Old Man Gu with a smile: "Old Man Gu, Shi Zhang is here, why didn't you mention him at all? I think we treated him badly."
So at the invitation of everyone, Gu Shizhang and Ye Tianhui both sat down.
However, after they sat down, everyone vaguely realized that something was wrong. According to common etiquette, Ye Tianhui was the grandson of Grandpa Ye, so he should naturally sit below Grandpa Ye's son Ye Lizhen. Gu Shizhang was the son of Grandpa Gu, and his status was relatively high. He should be of the same generation as his brother Gu Shili and Grandpa Ye's son Ye Lizhen, and should sit next to them.
In such an occasion where many bigwigs gather, special attention should be paid to such details.
But now the two of them were actually sitting together. Everyone was inevitably surprised to see this scene, but then they thought that maybe they were just sitting casually. After all, Gu Shizhang had been abroad for many years and might not care much about these things, so they didn't think much about it.
At this time, I heard Mr. Gu say: "By the way, everyone, our family has a big happy event recently, and I forgot to mention it to you."
When everyone heard this, they immediately asked, "What's this great news?"
Old Master Gu smiled and said, "As for our Shi Zhang, you all know him. He has always been lawless. I can't control him. Sometimes when I think about it, I feel that having this son is as good as not having him. I don't expect him to get married and have children anymore."
When Mr. Lu heard this, he quickly said, "No, no, Shi Zhang is a rare talent. Among all of us here, who can compare to him?"
Even Meng Baohui smiled and said, "If we had a son like this, we would have been secretly happy a long time ago."
When everyone was praising him like this, Mr. Gu was naturally happy. Mr. Ye next to him was also very proud for a while, thinking that this was going to be his grandson-in-law.
This time he invited everyone over, firstly to plan his birthday party, and secondly to celebrate his joining the Jockey Club.
However, it remains to be seen how much influence and weight he will have once he joins the Horse Racing Committee.
Naturally, he also wanted to strengthen his voice, and strengthening his voice, betting on the Gu family's vote, or even borrowing Gu Shizhang's influence, was crucial.
Today, Gu Shizhang has great economic influence in Europe and the United States and has extensive connections, which makes him the target that the Hong Kong government is trying hard to win over.
In this case, Gu Shizhang became his grandson-in-law, and his status in the underworld would naturally be greatly improved.
So when he heard everyone complimenting Gu Shizhang, he was naturally very satisfied, but he still had a calm smile on his face, not revealing any of it.
Meng Baohui, who was standing next to him, had already asked with a smile: "Mr. Gu just mentioned that there was a big event. What kind of happy event is it? Could it be that Shi Zhang's wedding is about to happen?"
When everyone heard this, they hurriedly asked about it. Grandpa Gu smiled and said, "Now our Shi Zhang finally has a girlfriend and is in love. He's become a little more human after all."
He sighed with satisfaction: "In other words, there is finally a woman who can control him!"
When everyone heard this, they were naturally surprised: "Congratulations, this is great news. May I ask which family this daughter is from?"
Mr. Gu smiled and said, "It's far away in the horizon, but it's right in front of us!"
Old Master Ye also laughed a few times when he heard this.
At this time, Gu Shizhang smiled and raised his hand, implicitly holding Ye Tianhui's hand, and then said: "Tianhui and I knew each other a long time ago. We became friends because of horse racing. We gradually became familiar with each other over time, and we are currently dating."
ah?
Everyone was surprised.
After all, Gu Shizhang is Mr. Gu’s son, and Ye Tianhui is Mr. Ye’s granddaughter. The two are of different generations!
But when everyone thought about it, it was no big deal. They were of similar age and were a perfect match, so what was wrong with that?
Everyone immediately congratulated them and praised them a lot. They praised Gu Shizhang for his youthful talent and Ye Tianhui for being as capable as a man. They talked about how the two of them were a perfect match and a match made in heaven. The praise made both the Ye and Gu elders smile from ear to ear.
Gu Shili, who was standing by, was shocked when he heard this. You know, he had originally planned to mention the fact that his son was in love with Ye Wenyin. He didn't quite agree with this matter, but his son said that today, and it sounded like Ye Wenyin was pregnant, so he had to bite the bullet and mention it as soon as possible.
Now Gu Shizhang is actually with Ye Tianhui. The two of them suddenly announced this news. It would be inappropriate for him to mention his son again.
After all, Ye Tianhui and Ye Wenyin are of the same generation. Now two girls from the Ye family of the same generation are going to marry into the Gu family, and marry uncle and niece. If this gets out, won't people laugh at them?
Besides, he also knew what his father was thinking. His younger brother had an unruly character and it was impossible for ordinary people to restrain him. Now that they were finally in love, he naturally couldn't say anything to hinder him.
He is about twenty years older than Gu Shizhang. He watched Gu Shizhang grow up and is very fond of his younger brother.
He thought about this matter. After all, Ye Wenyin was not the daughter of the Ye family. Now that she was pregnant, he could only keep it secret. When the incident was over, it would not be too late to let Ye Wenyin change her name and then enter the Ye family.
Or considering all the factors, maybe we can only keep it outside?
As he was thinking this, he heard his father say with a smile: "Speaking of which, I suffered a great loss in this matter. I was a generation inferior to Mr. Gu for no reason. Look at him, he is laughing so proudly!"
Old Master Ye burst into laughter: "How can I not laugh when I have a grandson-in-law like Shi Zhang? I am so happy even in my dreams at night!"
Old Master Gu smiled and said, "Speaking of which, our Shi Zhang really has good taste. Tianhui is a capable child, extremely capable, and she is also beautiful!"
Old Master Ye: "That's true, Mr. Gu. I'm not bragging. The fact that our Ye family has some success in horse racing is all thanks to Tianhui. Among all the grandchildren in our Ye family, Tianhui is the most outstanding."
Mr. Feng, who was standing nearby, echoed this, saying, "That's right. Tianhui handpicked the horse and the jockey. They're both cash cows, and the future is promising!"
Ye Tianhui holds a thirty-year contract with Lin Jianquan and Chen Zongwan, which is almost a lifetime contract. She can be said to be the cash cow of the Ye family.
The scene was lively for a while, with the two old people praising each other, and others naturally praised them as well, and asked when they could drink in the wedding wine of the two young people.
When Mr. Gu heard this, his eyes lit up and he looked at Gu Shizhang, obviously very expectant.
Gu Shizhang smiled and said, "We are still young, there is no need to rush for now."
Mr. Gu was a little disappointed: "Yeah, then let's wait another two years."
Of course, he also understood that Gu Shizhang was already 25 years old and was probably eager to get married, but Ye Tianhui was only 20 years old after the New Year, so maybe she didn't want to get married too soon?
It’s nothing, we’re young after all, so let’s just date for now.
*********
After Gu Zhihan talked to his father, he had actually been worried. Now he found an opportunity, sneaked into the inner room, listened to the conversation over there, and saw if his father had mentioned it to the two old people.
Across a kumquat tree, he heard Old Master Ye laughing, "Old Gu, even though my granddaughter grew up on the mainland and her parents aren't around, she's really beautiful. In terms of looks, courage, and ability, she's as good as any man. You'll be so lucky to have such a wonderful granddaughter marry into your family!"
Gu Zhihan was shocked when he heard this.
What's the meaning?
He quickly looked inside through the kumquat tree, but saw that the table was full of politicians and business tycoons, all of them old men. The only younger ones were Ye Lixuan and his uncle Gu Shizhang.
Even my father is not here!
He groaned in his heart, what's going on? Where's his father? Shouldn't his father take the opportunity to bring it up? He wants to marry Ye Wenyin, not Ye Tianhui!
At this time, I heard my grandfather chuckle and say, "Your Tianhui is no ordinary girl. If I were to say, I'd see no one in the whole of Hong Kong who could compare to her. If a girl like her married into our family, I'd laugh out loud in my dreams at night!"
Gu Zhihan could hardly believe it and gritted his teeth. Why did he suddenly ask Ye Tianhui to marry him? What was going on? How could this be possible!
He was feeling sad when suddenly someone patted him on the shoulder.
He looked over in surprise, and it was his father, Gu Shili.
When Gu Shili saw his son, he frowned and said, "I'm afraid that your relationship with Wen Yin won't work out. You can't marry Wen Yin. We need to discuss this matter again."
When these words came out, it was like a bolt from the blue: "Daddy, didn't you agree to tell me? What do you mean by this? I see that grandpa and the others mentioned Ye Tianhui. What does it have to do with her? Why?"
When Gu Shili heard his son say this, his face changed slightly and he looked around quickly. There was already a customer looking over there. He was a business friend.
He didn't have time to elaborate on his son's topic, so he just said, "Don't talk nonsense. Go back to your seat first. I'll explain it to you later. Go back quickly and talk about your thoughts later!"
Gu Zhihan pulled his father: "Daddy, what do you mean, why does Ye Tianhui want to marry into our family?"
Gu Shili glanced at his son and said, "It's not decided yet. Don't worry about it for now. Let's not talk about you and Wen Yin for now."
After saying that, he hurried over to say hello to his friend.
Gu Zhihan saw someone coming, and he couldn't move around in his seat, so he had to leave quickly. However, as he walked in the corridor, he felt mixed emotions and didn't know what to do.
What does it mean that Ye Tianhui suddenly wants to marry me?
He recalled that the other brothers in the family actually had girlfriends or were not of the right age. If Ye Tianhui had to marry into the Gu family, then he would be the only one left.
But--
I have already promised to marry Ye Wenyin!
Gu Zhihan felt very uncomfortable and suffocated.
He thought, she had clearly rejected him before and was very disdainful of him, so why did she suddenly become like this now?
Did she change her mind?
Why is she so fickle, changing her mind one moment and then the next?
If she had told me earlier that she was interested in me, I wouldn't have ended up with Ye Wenyin today!
But now, he and Ye Wenyin have already had an intimate relationship, and Ye Wenyin is pregnant with his child. He would never dare to abandon her.
Gu Zhihan felt very uncomfortable.
He gritted his teeth and closed his eyes with difficulty.
He thought, in fact, he still liked Ye Tianhui, but it was too late, too late, and he couldn't turn back on this path.
He thought of everything that had happened between him and Ye Wenyin, and for a moment he felt only bitterness in his heart, as if it were all a dream.
If she hadn't been so heartless, if she had given me hope, I wouldn't have gotten together with Ye Wenyin while drunk!
At the same time, he thought that Ye Tianhui was really hateful, capricious, and unpredictable. How could there be such a woman!
I really hate her!
He thought about going over to ask Ye Tianhui to confirm and see what she thought. Maybe he had misunderstood and this was not what she meant?
As he was thinking this, he happened to see Ye Tianhui and his biological mother walking over. His mother was actually holding Ye Tianhui's hand, and they looked quite intimate.
He frowned for a moment, thinking that Ye Tianhui was really scheming!
My mother doesn't like Ye Wenyin, but she actually took advantage of the situation and tried to please my mother.
He frowned and walked over. As he got closer, he happened to hear his mother laughing, "Your aunt and I have always been good friends. Who would have thought that her niece would marry into our family? This is a perfect match. You can keep me company from now on."
Gu Zhihan was stunned. Was it already a done deal? Just like that, they just acted first and asked for permission later, with no one paying attention to his opinion?
At this time, Gu Zhihan's mother saw Gu Zhihan and frowned at his silly look: "Why are you standing here like an idiot? Look at yourself-"
Gu Zhihan took a deep breath.
In front of his mother, no matter how many complaints he had, he had to endure it and walked up to greet Aunt Ye Tianhui.
As she said this, it was almost time to cut the cake. Mother Gu had a friend to meet, so she had to go first. Ye Tianhui then went over to the group of Ye sisters so that she could cut the cake later.
Gu Zhihan watched coldly from the side, feeling extremely hateful.
Ye Tianhui noticed the look in Gu Zhihan's eyes when he looked at her, and she felt both puzzled and amused.
But when I think about the fact that he is Gu Shizhang’s nephew, I think it’s okay. He is just a junior and there is no need to bother with him!
After talking with a few sisters for a while, Ye Tianhui went to get something to eat. Unexpectedly, she saw Ye Wenyin coming towards her.
Ye Wenyin felt somewhat relieved after listening to what Gu Zhihan and Gu Shili said.
Afterwards, she quietly moved closer and heard faint voices of congratulations from inside, which showed that everyone agreed.
It's done!
At that moment, she was naturally very confident, but now when she saw Ye Tianhui, the feeling was different.
That is condescending and intolerable.
I married into the Gu family and became their daughter-in-law, and my status has changed since then.
She looked at Ye Tianhui and said with a smile: "You may not know?"
Ye Tianhui: "What?"
Ye Wenyin then announced, "I can tell you that Gu Zhihan and I are in a relationship now. We will announce our relationship today. I will marry into the Gu family in the future. After we get married, I will be the Gu family's legitimate daughter-in-law. From now on, the Ye family will always treat me as a rich daughter, and grandpa will always treat me as his own granddaughter. Even if dad doesn't like me, so what? He still has to recognize me. It's not up to him!"
Ye Tianhui: “…”
She looked at Ye Wenyin in surprise: "Are you sure you are not sleepwalking?"
What is all this talking about?
Ye Wenyin ignored him completely: "Don't think that just because you put on a gorgeous and fashionable dress, you have truly become the eldest daughter of the Ye family. Your vision and your thinking will always be that of a northern girl from the mainland. You can only hang out with a few horses and those rough men."
Ye Tianhui frowned, becoming more and more confused. What was going on?
Ye Wenyin: "Tianhui, I actually sympathize with you. You don't understand the rules of Hong Kong's upper class society at all, so no matter how hard you try, you are just a pawn."
Ye Tianhui had no expression on her face anymore; she could only watch her perform.
Ye Wenyin: "Isn't it? Don't you even understand this?"
Ye Tianhui thought for a moment, and finally found the topic again. She said with some difficulty: "I just didn't expect... Don't you think you are not a chess piece? Who isn't a chess piece?"
Ye Wenyin raised her head slightly. "If I have to be a chess piece, I'll be the most important one. You've been buried in the stable, hanging out with those rough men. You'll never understand how you lost the qualifications you once had. Do you think I'm unprofessional? Do you think I'm inferior to others in skills? In fact, you don't understand at all."
Seeing this, Ye Tianhui said: "You understand, can you tell me about it?"
Ye Wenyin sneered: "I know you are mocking me in your heart. You think you have won everyone's praise, thinking that you are capable and different from many other rich girls in Hong Kong. But I want to tell you that others are just praising you and praising you high. In fact, in the end, everyone else is marrying into a good family. Who doesn't have a good place to go——"
She slowly scanned Ye Tianhui's body, then said, "In reality, no wealthy family would want a daughter-in-law like you. You're destined to be alone, unable to even get married. In the end, you can only find someone with little wealth and no background. But I'm different, because I'm familiar with the rules of this world. I know what kind of chess piece I am."
She smiled and said calmly and gracefully, "I will always be beautiful and elegant. I will marry into a wealthy family, take care of my husband and children. I don't need to do anything else. I just need to dress elegantly and appropriately, and occasionally do charity work to show my love. That's enough."
Ye Tianhui sighed: "Do you think you can get what you want? Don't be too sure about everything."
Ye Wenyin: “Oh?”
Ye Tianhui smiled and said, "You're pinning all your hopes on marrying into the Gu family. Isn't that a bit too much of a bet? After all, whether you can marry into the Gu family or not is still uncertain."
Who knew that just as she finished speaking, she heard a voice saying, "She can't marry into the Gu family, can you?"
Ye Tianhui looked over and saw Gu Zhihan, who had a gloomy look on his face.
Ye Tianhui looked indifferent and was too lazy to pay attention to him.
After all, this is Gu Shizhang's nephew. Since she is talking to Gu Shizhang, as an elder, she should be more tolerant and not bother with him.
Unexpectedly, Gu Zhihan looked at Ye Tianhui coldly: "What on earth are you doing?"
Ye Tianhui: "What?"
Gu Zhihan looked at Ye Tianhui, who seemed to be fine, and gritted his teeth and said, "What do you mean? You said such harsh words to me at the beginning, but now you actually agreed. You even went to please my mommy. You are really good, you are so scheming!"
Ye Wenyin next to her was startled and looked at Ye Tianhui in confusion.
Gu Zhihan was extremely amused: "Do you think that if you please my mommy, I will be willing to marry you? You can marry into our family. Let me tell you, Ye Tianhui, you are dreaming! How shameless do you have?"
Ye Tianhui was surprised: "Gu Zhihan, what do you mean? Do you know what you are saying?"
Gu Zhihan questioned, "Do you think I don't know? You want to marry into our family? I tell you, you're dreaming!"
At this time, he happened to see his dad, his mom, and several elders from the Ye and Gu families walking towards this side.
Since there are no outsiders here, he will just go crazy in front of them today!
He pointed at Ye Tianhui angrily: "You are a deep-minded, sinister and cunning person. You have been bullying Wen Yin in various ways, but I can tell you that from now on, she will have me to protect her and I will never allow you to bully her like this!"
As he spoke, he pulled Ye Wenyin over and held her hand tightly: "I declare that I only love Wenyin, and I want to marry Wenyin! I will never marry a woman like you, you northern girl, just give up, how could I be interested in you!"
Ye Tianhui was very surprised: "Did I ever say I wanted to marry you?"
Gu Zhihan was extremely amused: "That's perfect. I just want to emphasize to you, and tell you solemnly, don't even think about marrying into the Gu family in this lifetime!"
At this time, a voice was heard saying, "Zhifan, what are you doing?"
Gu Zhihan looked over in surprise and found that it was Gu Shizhang.
He was wearing a royal blue suit, looking elegant and dignified, tall and slender, and a serious look that was rare in his daily life.
At this moment, Gu Shizhang was looking at him and asked calmly, "What are you talking about?"
