Chapter 102
Ye Tianhui felt that Gu Shizhang was very strange and was naturally confused, but since he didn't seem to want to talk about it, she didn't ask.
Recently he has come to the stable to help her almost every day. He is very familiar with these horses and if he says he can handle them, then he can handle them.
Ye Tianhui went to take a shower, and Gu Shizhang simply rinsed her. After she finished showering, he came over to help Ye Tianhui blow-dry her hair. After everything was done, it was already late, and as the sun set, the two of them went hand in hand to the parking lot.
Who knew that while walking, I happened to see a person coming towards me from the direction of the parking lot.
It’s Zhou Wanlan.
Zhou Wanlan was also surprised when she saw them at first, but she quickly understood.
News spreads quickly in this circle. After Mr. Gu's appreciation party that day, the news spread quickly. Everyone knew that the daughter of the Ye family was actually hooking up with Gu Shizhang of the Gu family. No one had expected this.
Who is Gu Shizhang? He is the eldest son of the top wealthy Gu family. He is the one who doesn't want to give up the family business and make a name for himself in the world.
His assets now spread across Europe, America and Southeast Asia. His economic strength cannot be underestimated. Even the top political and business celebrities in Hong Kong have to give him some respect.
Such a person is not even within the reach of the average wealthy daughter of a wealthy Hong Kong family.
And who is Ye Tianhui? She has lived in the mainland since she was a child, has no knowledge, and can be said to have been born in poverty.
Even though she is quite capable in horse management now, so what? In people's minds, her status is still a little bit inferior to that of Gu Shizhang, a wealthy and old-fashioned man.
In people's subconscious, a man like Gu Shizhang is the best in terms of appearance, wealth, and background. Such a man will eventually match a lady from a noble family who is both beautiful and talented, well-educated, has a diploma from a top foreign university, and is both talented and talented, rather than someone like Ye Tianhui.
Zhou Wanlan naturally admitted that Ye Tianhui was excellent. In her heart, besides being wary of Ye Tianhui, she also had some admiration for her.
But she still felt that Ye Tianhui could not be compared with Gu Shizhang.
Gu Shizhang is the moon in the sky that many socialites in Hong Kong cannot reach, lonely and desolate.
No matter how outstanding Ye Tianhui is, she will never surpass herself.
But now, this Ye Tianhui actually made Gu Shizhang bow down to her.
Zhou Wanlan's gaze fell on their gently clasped hands, and she forced a smile.
Afterwards, he said softly, "Shi Zhang, this is very unkind of you. You didn't even tell me that you were dating Miss Ye before."
Gu Shizhang laughed and said, "It's my fault, but there's nothing I can do. At that time, she was having a quarrel with me, and I wasn't sure. Besides, I hadn't told my family yet, and I didn't want to make it public."
What I said...
Zhou Wanlan also didn't expect that Ye Tianhui would actually let Gu Shizhang say such words. Is this still the aloof and cold Gu Shizhang of the past?
As she thought about this, she suddenly remembered the voice she heard when she called Gu Shizhang that day.
That voice turned out to be Ye Tianhui!
Ye Tianhui can order Gu Shizhang around like that!
She couldn't believe it for a moment.
Gu Shizhang had already said, "Are you coming to see the horses?"
Zhou Wanlan took a deep breath and finally found her voice: "Yes."
Ye Tianhui: "We are about to leave and go to eat."
Gu Shizhang smiled and said, "Yes, Huihui just said she was hungry, so we'll leave first."
Huihui...
Zhou Wanlan felt dazed when she heard this name. She suddenly remembered that she had called Gu Shizhang over that day, as if she and Gu Shizhang were very familiar with each other. He must have been with Ye Tianhui at that time.
No wonder he wanted to ask Gu Shizhang for help, but Gu Shizhang always refused. His opponent was his girlfriend, so how could he possibly help him?
At this moment, many small memories came to her mind. She remembered the strange look in Meng Yinian's eyes when she was talking to Gu Zhiming that day. It was obvious that Meng Yinian had known that they were together for a long time, so he had that expression. Because Ye Tianhui was there at the time, the scene was inevitably a little awkward.
She suppressed her thoughts, nodded slightly, and said with a smile: "Congratulations, you two are together, I never thought."
She didn't know what to say for a moment, and subconsciously asked, "When can I drink at your wedding?"
Ye Tianhui listened to this and said: "It's still early, there is no such plan at the moment."
This question has been asked many times since she and Gu Shizhang got together.
To be honest, I'm a little impatient.
The legal marriage age in Hong Kong is 20 years old, and she is only 19 years old. How could she possibly get married?
Gu Shizhang took Ye Tianhui's hand and said with a gentle smile: "Huihui is still young and doesn't plan to get married for the time being. Let's talk about it in two years. Anyway, I'm not in a hurry."
Zhou Wanlan nodded and said, "That's true. I understand."
Ye Tianhui walked to the parking lot, and Zhou Wanlan took a few steps forward, but she couldn't help but look back.
But Gu Shizhang was seen holding Ye Tianhui's waist considerately, looking very caring.
She then recalled the tone in which Gu Shizhang had mentioned Ye Tianhui just now, calling her Huihui, doting on her like he was very protective of her. It was as if he was holding her in the palm of his hand.
It was obvious that Ye Tianhui spoke in a somewhat arrogant manner in front of Gu Shizhang. She shouted that she was hungry and said nonchalantly that she was not in a hurry to get married and did not care about Gu Shizhang at all.
She never thought that one day she would see Gu Shizhang treating a woman like this.
And that woman happened to be her opponent.
She pursed her lips slightly, feeling bitter in her heart.
In fact, the love I had in my youth has long gone, and now when I think about it, it is just a faint memory.
Now she has experienced so many things, got married, had children, and even has her own beloved lover.
She used to be very young, and like Ye Tianhui, full of vitality, dreams, and longing for love and sweetness.
But now she is married to someone she doesn't love, is dealing with someone she doesn't like, and is having an affair with a man who is simply impossible for her.
She became the kind of person that her former self completely didn't understand.
It was only that evening, when she saw the deep sweetness between Gu Shizhang and Ye Tianhui, that she suddenly understood what she had wanted.
What she longed for so much, she couldn't get.
The pale pink sunset shone down, and she stood under the banyan tree. Suddenly, she didn't even have the strength to walk.
Ke Zhiming came over from the side and walked to her side.
He glanced into the distance and saw that the man and woman had already gotten into the car, which was slowly driving away.
As they looked at each other, Zhou Wanlan finally raised her gaze to him. Ke Zhiming felt it and looked over, and then the two people's eyes met in the twilight.
When their eyes met, he smiled bitterly: "I thought that for you, all this is in the past."
Zhou Wanlan looked at him wearily. "For me, Gu Shizhang has indeed become a thing of the past. But at this moment, when I see him being so caring towards another woman, I still feel a little bit upset. And that woman happened to be my competitor."
She sighed: "If anyone else received the same care and love as him, I would be calm and wish her the best. But why is it her?"
She said incomprehensibly, "I think she's very good and admirable. She grew up in the mainland and must have had a hard life. It's not easy for her to grow up like this. I do admire her, but I think she's still a little bit behind, right? Can she be better than me?"
Ke Zhiming sighed softly, then held her hand and led her to a secluded corner.
Then he hugged her gently.
He held her in his arms and whispered, "How can she compare to you? She's not as good as you in anything. Not as pretty as you, not as capable as you, and not as kind as you. As for the final race, we will definitely win. You see, I will come out on top and make Longhua Beauty the Horse King. I will beat Nie Pingqi and Lin Jianquan, and then you'll be happy."
Zhou Wanlan rested her chin on Ke Zhiming's shoulder and chuckled, "Okay."
**********
Mr. Ye's birthday party was proceeding in an orderly manner, and everything was carried out according to Ye Wenyong's previous plan. It was obvious that Mr. Ye's birthday party was inseparable from the horse racing season, and commending the winners of the Queen's Cup had become part of the program.
At this time, everyone knew that Ye Tianhui had actually registered Teng Yunwu for the Queen's Cup Mountain Race, and they all felt a little embarrassed for a moment.
Everyone knows what the situation is with that horse. It is a pet horse that cannot be relied upon and a lazy horse.
Ye Wenyong was very cautious: "The competition that day was just a casual one, it's not a big deal anyway."
His meaning was very clear. He just wanted to compete casually and not take it too seriously. Otherwise, it would be too grand and if he lost in the end, it would become a laughing stock. After all, it was Mr. Ye's birthday party and this matter could not be taken lightly.
The news spread quickly, even Ye Lixuan knew about it and advised her to keep a low profile. Even Ye Yibai called to ask about it and advised her not to put too much pressure on herself.
Ye Tianhui nodded naturally after hearing this, but she had other thoughts in her mind.
That day, she locked herself in the audio-visual room and watched Ke Zhiming's games over and over again. She already had a hypothesis in her mind, but she needed to confirm this hypothesis and come up with a strategy.
Ke Zhiming is a top master and a genius on horseback. He looks so mediocre in normal times that Ye Tianhui feels that it is a pity for Zhou Wanlan to choose such a man as her lover.
But we have to admit that when Ke Zhiming rides on horseback and when he steps on the horse in the arena, he exudes unparalleled charm.
He seemed to have an indescribable talent that allowed him to predict everything three seconds in advance and always accurately judge the situation.
This is the king on horseback, the god on the racetrack.
When Ye Tianhui stared at Ke Zhiming in the video recorder over and over again, she couldn't help but cheer for this man. It seemed that she could also understand Zhou Wanlan and why she would throw herself into the arms of such a man.
If a person, regardless of gender, can be so outstanding in his or her professional field, when he or she focuses on it, the charm he or she exudes is enough to make people fall in love with him or her.
Ye Tianhui watched so many of his games, but she couldn't confirm her guess at all, because this person was at ease in any game, so he could hide his shortcomings very well.
But in the match between Nie Pingqi and Ke Zhiming, his perfect performance finally revealed a flaw, which allowed Ye Tianhui to finally confirm one thing.
There is a secret hidden in this impeccable jockey, which is his Achilles' heel. If she masters this secret, she can defeat this impeccable opponent and win.
In fact, once Ke Zhiming's secret was known, this person was destined to disappear from the racecourse.
The video recorder was still making clicking sounds, the tape was turning, and the picture was moving forward, but Ye Tianhui no longer needed to watch it.
She looked at Ke Zhiming in the picture, the unstoppable jockey, but she thought of the couple snuggling together in the hazy morning light on the yacht in Victoria Harbour.
She believed that Zhou Wanlan was not a woman who would sacrifice herself for the sake of profit, so there must be a lot of love between the two of them.
A woman is full of desire for success. She hopes that her beloved man will pick up the sword and slay demons for her.
For the sake of his beloved woman, a man concealed his biggest secret and went to the battlefield to try to create glory for her.
This is a very romantic thing.
It was so romantic that Ye Tianhui felt a little reluctant at this moment, and couldn't bear to destroy this romantic perfection.
However, Ye Tianhui certainly understood that when the Hong Kong racing season was changing, there was a competition for interests behind every horse, and everyone was fighting for their own position. Zhou Wanlan wanted to win, Meng Yinian wanted to win, and of course she wanted to win too.
Nie Pingqi will be gathering momentum and waiting for a desperate counterattack, Ke Zhiming is still in his prime and is determined to create another miracle, and his two young jockeys also want to achieve their own success and glory.
There is no right or wrong in this world, but everyone naturally gathers in this horse racing feast. The supreme honor can only belong to one person. The racing field is like a battlefield, and a winner must be decided.
In this Hong Kong racing season filled with famous horses, if there is destined to be only one winner, everyone hopes that person will be themselves.
So there is no room for mercy between them.
When I walked out of the audio-visual room, Ah Rong came over and said, "The old man just sent someone to invite Miss over."
Before, Arong called Ye Tianhui "Miss Tianhui", but now she just calls her "Miss".
Of course, she became more and more aware of the situation and knew that Ye Tianhui's status in the Ye family was rising steadily. Even the young masters of the Ye family had to look at her face.
Ye Tianhui nodded slightly and went to the main hall immediately.
Old Master Ye was sitting there drinking tea. When he saw Ye Tianhui, he smiled and motioned for her to sit down.
Ye Tianhui sat down.
Old Master Ye smiled and started talking to Ye Tianhui. After a few words of family matters, he asked, "What have you been busy with these days?"
Ye Tianhui: "Study the competition."
Old Master Ye sighed: "As for this competition, do your best. You have done well enough. I am very satisfied with your current results."
Ye Tianhui: "Well, I also think that Ke Zhiming is not someone to be dealt with easily."
Old Master Ye nodded: "Yes, it's nothing to be defeated by Ke Ke Zhiming. Besides, his Longhua beauty is indeed not an ordinary person."
Ye Tianhui smiled and said, "Longhua Beauty is indeed a top-notch horse. Compared to the horses under our Ye family, she may be slightly inferior or on par with them. But Ke Zhiming is indeed a legend of his generation and well-deserved."
She sighed, "My two jockeys are definitely less experienced than him."
Mr. Ye said, "The horses he rode have won the title of Hong Kong Horse King several times. They are undefeated and have also represented Hong Kong in several overseas races, winning huge prizes. A man like Ke Zhiming is not easily defeated."
Ye Tianhui smiled and said, "But Grandpa, if we lose this game, it will be very embarrassing for us!"
Old Master Ye sighed softly, "One should be content. Failure is no big deal. I've experienced many ups and downs in my life, and I've experienced failure before. So what if I fail? I want to have a happy birthday party, right?"
Ye Tianhui nodded: "Grandpa is quite open-minded."
He sighed and said, "Tianhui, I'm just glad that you can come back to Hong Kong. Our Ye family has you, and it's like our ancestors are growing grass at our graves. You have given me a great gift!"
Ye Tianhui smiled when she heard this: "Grandpa, I will give you an extra gift at your birthday party."
Old man: "Oh, what gift?"
Naturally, the younger generation would send gifts to his birthday party, but Ye Tianhui's tone of voice was a little peculiar, which made him confused.
Ye Tianhui smiled and looked out the window.
As the winter wind blew, the green window frames were decorated with colorful lanterns and longevity characters.
She smiled and said, "Grandpa will know when that day comes."
**************
The scene of Mr. Ye’s 70th birthday party was luxuriously decorated. The inside was sparkling with pearls and flowers, and the outside was also exquisite and warm. The huge crystal suspenders were gorgeous and beautiful. As soon as you stepped into the venue, it was like walking into a fairy tale world.
This caused a sensation in Hong Kong, and almost all government officials and the richest people from several major families in Hong Kong were present.
Mr. Ye did not expect this. According to his original idea, everyone should go to the Queen's Cup first and then come to his birthday party. As a result, these celebrities actually came to the birthday party first, waited until the competition started to watch a game, and then came to attend the banquet.
You have to know that such a big shot actually held such a special event for him, which really gave him enough face.
Of course, it was also Ye Wenyong's proper arrangement. The birthday banquet was just a few steps away from the racecourse, which was really convenient.
Seeing this scene, Mr. Ye naturally became more proud and his face flushed.
Of course, he was even more satisfied with Gu Shizhang. In order to celebrate the old man's birthday, Gu Shizhang specially airlifted a top-of-the-line limited edition Rolls-Royce Phantom to give to the old man as his car. He also chartered a plane and scattered colorful ribbons on that day to add luster to the birthday celebration.
This generous move naturally amazed everyone.
Everyone knows that Gu Shizhang is wealthy, but as a grandson-in-law, or a future grandson-in-law, it is really astonishing that he is so generous.
At the banquet, everyone congratulated each other and talked about the upcoming horse racing, because the Queen's Cup competition was about to begin and everyone would go to watch the horses soon.
The old man smiled and said, "I'll go over and join in the fun later. After we finish watching the horse racing, we can come back to cut the cake."
Everyone naturally agreed, but who knew that at this moment, Zhou Wanlan's husband Ning Jize suddenly mentioned: "Mr. Ye, I heard that your horse is also participating in the Queen's Cup Mountain Race?"
As soon as he said this, everyone on the field turned to him.
Ning Jize studied for a doctorate in the United States, but after returning to China to join his family business, he did not achieve much and his performance was always mediocre. Fortunately, he married a young lady, Zhou Wanlan, who was a capable woman. She had to manage the Ning family's business and work hard for her mother's family's company, and she managed both sides well.
When everyone heard Ning Jize say this, they had only one feeling: the eldest young master of the Ning family must have been spoiled by his father and mistress, so how could he say such a thing?
No one is a fool, and everyone knows that the Ye family's horse is simply a lazy horse, and this kind of horse is just there to join in the fun.
At a time like this, please at least give me some face. What else is there to bring up?
When Old Master Ye heard this, he didn't seem to care. He smiled and glanced at Ning Jize: "Yes, we have a horse participating in the competition today, but of course we can't compete with your Longhua Beauty. How can we compare? There is no comparison!"
He sighed.
Zhou Wanlan was helpless and embarrassed when she saw this.
But she was a smooth talker, so she stepped forward and said with a smile, "Friendship first, competition second. Although the horse racing season is in full swing now, and several of us have horses, we are bound to fight it out, but that's just horse racing. Who wins or loses is of no consequence. Today is Mr. Ye's birthday party. What's the point of bringing up such a thing?"
When the people around heard this, they naturally laughed and thought that the matter was over.
After all, no matter what business disagreements everyone has, he's the birthday boy, so why bother with such bad luck? Even the Jockey Club Chairman Feng smiled and interrupted, trying to change the subject.
Old Master Ye laughed heartily, "It's nothing. Even though it's my birthday today, I just wanted to find an excuse for us all to have some fun together. It's horse racing season now, and all of Hong Kong is buzzing with excitement. Who wouldn't want to join in the fun?"
Everyone said: "Yes, that's right, it's just for fun."
The atmosphere was harmonious for a moment, but then Ye Tianhui stepped forward and said with a smile, "Grandpa, today is your birthday. I was just about to say that as your granddaughter, I want to give you a big gift today. This is a gift I specially prepared for you."
Mr. Ye smiled: "What gift?"
When everyone saw Ye Tianhui, they all looked over, of course some of them were observing and judging.
Gu Shizhang and Ye Tianhui officially announced their relationship. Although they were just dating, for the children of wealthy Hong Kong families to publicly date was basically an engagement, and it was rare for them to regret it, especially for someone like Gu Shizhang.
Therefore, now everyone looks at Ye Tianhui as the future daughter-in-law of the Gu family.
Ye Tianhui smiled and said, "Grandpa, look, this is my jockey certificate. I just got it two days ago. It's fresh!"
Old Master Ye took it in his hand and looked at it, naturally thinking it was good: "You said you wanted to take the exam before, and I thought it wouldn't be that easy. Who knew you would take it so easily, and now you have the certificate in hand."
Chairman Feng, who was standing nearby, was also full of praise when he saw this: "Tianhui is really different from other girls. She even got a jockey certificate. This certificate is not easy to get."
Ning Jize's sudden words just now were somewhat inappropriate, so Mr. Ning took the opportunity to say, "Young people are really capable. Elder Ye has such a granddaughter, which is really enviable!"
Everyone around was full of praise and admiration. Even Zhou Wanlan smiled and said, "I put a lot of effort into getting the Jockey Master title back then, but Tianhui is different. She got it right away."
She actually thought it was nothing, it was just a jockey certificate, she could get it easily. Today, Ye Tianhui was making a fuss about a jockey certificate, which attracted a lot of praise from everyone. She couldn't help but find it funny.
Ye Tianhui heard this and smiled, "Since I have obtained the jockey certificate, and today is the day for our Ye family's Black Rose to fight for the starting position in the final, so I thought -"
She looked at Mr. Ye and said, "I have decided to personally control Teng Yunwu to compete in the Queen's Cup Mountain Bike Race."
