Chapter 26
Ye Tianhui fell onto the grass while holding Lin Jianquan.
This was the route she had planned the moment she rushed out. She had calculated the speed, distance, height of the hill, force unloading route, and the location of rolling perfectly.
The grass was lush and soft, with piles of old fallen leaves on it, which could relieve the final momentum of her and Lin Jianquan.
Even so, the fall still caused a great shock to the two people.
Maybe she had calculated wrong. The Ye Tianhui in this life was not the same as the one in the previous life. There was still a big difference in their basic physical qualities.
She hugged Lin Jianquan tightly, closed her eyes, and silently endured the pain of the fall.
After a moment, she finally opened her eyes and looked at Lin Jianquan in her arms.
His thin body was as tense as a fully drawn bow, every part of his body was as stiff as stone, his face was pale and bloodless. He was trembling, shaking violently in her arms, like a yellow leaf hanging on a dead branch in late autumn.
She hugged him tighter, giving him some comfort.
Lin Jianquan seemed to feel it, he buried his face in her arms, greedily feeling the soft warmth, his lips trembling, as if he wanted to say something, but no sound came out at all.
Ye Tianhui didn't say anything and just hugged him silently.
Soon, the horse farm staff rushed over, Jessie and others also ran over, and people gathered around.
Ye Tianhui wanted to let go of Lin Jianquan, but Lin Jianquan still held her tightly.
His thin arms trembled as he clung to her body, his dark eyes wide open.
This was the first time Ye Tianhui saw a childlike confusion and fear in his eyes.
Ye Tianhui couldn't bear it.
She understood that this must not be just because of the danger just now. His eyes clearly bore the mark of his entire dark childhood.
But then the bald horse trainer's voice rang out, and he rushed over and yelled, "What's going on? What's going on? Doctor, come quickly, doctor!"
Hearing this voice, Lin Jianquan shuddered, and then the emotion in his eyes disappeared, and his originally trembling arms seemed to be controlled by himself. He instantly recovered from the fear of surviving the disaster.
The bald horse trainer came, and the medical staff came too. People surrounded them, gave them a quick physical examination, and were about to put them on stretchers.
Lin Jianquan pushed away the hand that was supporting him and also pushed away the stretcher.
He stood up, his face pale, his body straight, his expression indifferent and stubborn.
Ye Tianhui felt that at this moment, he instantly turned into a sword, a cold and sharp sword, which was his shell in front of the world.
He said in a strangely hoarse voice, "I'm fine. I can continue the game."
The bald horse trainer looked at Lin Jianquan like this, and looked at him with the same eyes as he looked at cattle, horses and cargo, and suddenly laughed as he looked at him.
His laughter was filled with complacency and pride. "Very good, very good. Remember, failure isn't terrible. What's terrible is the fear you've developed! Fear is a jockey's biggest enemy. An outstanding jockey is never cowardly and is always invincible. Even if you're seriously injured, you have to get up, climb onto the horse's back, and crawl to the finish line!"
Ye Tianhui also refused the help of the medical staff. She was very clear about the impact she had suffered. She would not have any internal injuries, just some abrasions.
She stood up and was about to leave, but Jessie supported her and asked her in a concerned and low voice.
She chuckled softly, "I'm fine."
When she made the sound, many people around looked over, including the bald horse trainer.
Everyone naturally saw what happened just now and knew how the light blue shadow rushed onto the horse's back in a magical and graceful manner and brought the thin rider down.
Everything is so beautiful that it is amazing.
In this surprise, people looked at the track again. The tragedy had already happened on the track and some riders were already wailing.
It makes people feel scared after hearing it.
The bald horse trainer took a deep breath and looked at Ye Tianhui: "Thank you for saving him. If it weren't for you, he would have been seriously injured."
Ye Tianhui: "You're welcome. It was just a coincidence."
Some people looked at him curiously: "Do you know Kung Fu? Qinggong?"
Ye Tianhui: "I know a little bit of Kung Fu, but it's not any light Kung Fu. I just have good athletic ability and it just happened to happen."
Now that the tragedy has happened, some riders' careers are bound to be ruined, and their lives may even be in danger. This accident will inevitably be investigated, and she is afraid that she will be implicated.
At this time, other staff members arrived and began to deal with the situation on the scene. They ordered all personnel not to move. Someone took Ye Tianhui away to question her about her sudden appearance, and Lin Jianquan would also be taken away to participate in the investigation.
Just as Ye Tianhui turned to leave, Lin Jianquan raised his long eyelashes and looked at Ye Tianhui with his dark eyes.
Ye Tianhui felt his gaze and gave him a silent smile.
Lin Jianquan's eyelashes fluttered, and he lowered his eyelids again.
************
In fact, it is not uncommon for accidents to occur at the racecourse.
Horse racing is naturally a very popular sport, but the sport itself is very dangerous for both the horses and the riders. According to statistics from the United States, almost three to four hundred purebred racehorses die every year, and the number of injured riders is countless.
The young Chongzai entered this industry with his poor and frail body. It was a desperate attempt out of desperation. If he won, he might be able to change his life by gaining fame and fortune like Ke Zhiming. If he lost, it would be good to be unknown and suffer pain. What was even worse was that he lost his life.
The arena was in a mess at this time, with wailing and screaming. Ye Tianhui didn't know what had happened, but she knew that those wailing riders would probably never have another chance.
The world of riders is a cruel competition in itself, and those who let out howls of fear will definitely be eliminated.
Ye Tianhui was taken to a room, a closed room without windows. A man wearing a hat and with sharp eyes began to interrogate her, asking her about the situation at that time.
She saved Lin Jianquan, but after all, such an accident happened, and she shouldn't have appeared on the track, so they needed to investigate the situation.
Ye Tianhui told the man everything she saw. The man did not express his belief or disbelief in her story, but just wrote it down with an expressionless face.
She knew that the other party would not only interrogate her, but also others. They would interrogate everyone individually and then compare the situation at that time.
After being interrogated, she was locked in a stable. The stable was locked and still had no windows. The air was filled with the smell of horse manure mixed with a musty smell.
Because there was no light, she could not see the changes in light and dark outside and could only estimate the time based on her feelings.
This kind of darkness where you can't see your fingers in front of your eyes can easily make people mentally collapse, but Ye Tianhui is not an ordinary person after all. She will not let herself be affected by such a small matter, so she lay quietly on the bed, calm and composed.
In this silence where time seemed to stand still, Ye Tianhui also thought of a lot.
The experiences of this life are barren, so barren that it is not worth Ye Tianhui to recall. She is thinking about her previous life.
In her previous life, she had experienced so many battles that occupied most of her memory, so much so that she thought that her short twenty-five years were a magnificent military career.
But now, as she looked at the darkness, many details that she had never paid attention to emerged from the cracks in her memory, making her start to consider and reflect on herself.
She recalled the details of when she was holding Lin Jianquan in her arms.
It was obvious that fear had completely strangled his frail body. He was trembling and numb to the point of stiffness. He wished he could turn into a baby and curl up in his arms to escape this strange and cruel world.
But when everything returned to reality and his sanity returned, he suddenly became strong and indestructible, as if he was so indifferent that he didn't care about anything.
Of course Ye Tianhui knew that it was fake, he just wrapped himself up and armed himself.
She thought of his thin, frail, yet straight figure.
There had never been such a person in her memory, but she felt familiar with him, as if someone had given her this feeling before.
She closed her eyes, and in the endless darkness and silence, when she was free from the troubles of this world, she finally saw that it was the young emperor.
That year, she was fourteen, dancing with a sword in the Wanquan Stream of Qinglong Ridge. The sage was seventeen then, not yet in the East Palace. He stood beside the clear, silky waterfall, scooped up a handful of white waves, and sighed, "This pool of waterfalls, flowing into this Wanquan Stream, waves surging and waves splashing, jade and pearls flying, is also free and joyful. Huihui, what do you think?"
Ye Tianhui put away the two-foot-long sword and looked at the young man in the vast sea of smoke. Although he was naturally calm and reserved, there was a hint of confusion between his eyebrows.
She thought for a moment before saying, "Rivers flow a hundred miles, and the sea flows a thousand miles. If one can embrace a hundred rivers, why should one be content with confining oneself to this corner?"
At that time, Da Zhao was under pressure from the Qiang and Di tribes abroad and worried about financial resources at home. It was a time of great difficulty for the country.
His general father once said that the country is in turmoil and only a wise ruler is needed. Looking at the sons in the palace, the only one who can rebuild the world is the third prince.
Ye Tianhui opened her eyes.
She no longer remembered what the sage said afterwards, or what she said. She only remembered that just over a month later, he entered the Eastern Palace, and two months later, he ascended the throne and became emperor.
She let out a breath, trying to dispel the memories.
In fact, the sage is different from Lin Jianquan. The sage is tall, handsome, and vigorous, which is a rare demeanor in the Kingdom of Dazhao. No matter when and where, he is always at ease, as if he can control the sun and the moon with one hand and rule the universe with his feet.
He expanded the territory and made great achievements that will go down in history.
Even if there is no trace of him in this era, the vast starry sky can bear witness that in a certain time and space, there was a young emperor with great talent and strategy who once opened up a magnificent era.
So, why did she have this illusion and compare a mere Lin Jianquan with him?
She finally calmed down and fell asleep.
Everything in the past has long gone. She was born in a brand new era and there are still many things waiting for her to do.
************
The wooden door of the stable was pushed open, and the dazzling sunlight from outside poured in, making Ye Tianhui feel dazzled.
After a moment, she adjusted to the light and saw two horse farm staff and two policemen coming over. Without saying a word, they took her to a house and interrogated her again.
It’s still the same questions from yesterday, asked repeatedly, over and over again, and asked from different angles.
Ye Tianhui understood that her answer could not be wrong at all.
A major accident occurred at the horse racing scene yesterday and the police are investigating. As one of the parties present at the scene, the police obviously have some doubts about her.
She is a girl from mainland China and only has a work residence permit. Once she becomes a criminal suspect or is suspected of something, she will be fired or deported, and then she will lose all her opportunities.
Obviously, they interrogate themselves first, then lock themselves in a dark room, put psychological pressure on themselves, make them collapse, and then take advantage of this time to interrogate themselves again. This is their trick.
If it were an ordinary person, he would probably be unable to bear it and start to collapse at this time. However, Ye Tianhui has a strong psychological quality and a calmness that has been tempered by long experience. He can remain calm even when facing a crisis.
Of course, she couldn't act too calm. After all, in the eyes of these policemen, she was just an ordinary person. If she was too calm, it would arouse their suspicion. On the contrary, if she showed some nervousness and fear, she would gain their trust.
After about two hours of interrogation, she signed the results of the interrogation and was finally released.
At this time, Jessie and others had been questioned and released. After surviving the disaster, everyone was excited to see each other and couldn't help but hug each other.
Jessie hugged Ye Tianhui: "It's terrible! How could this happen!"
Ye Tianhui was a little breathless in his embrace, and reached out to push him away, but couldn't: "Isn't this resolved? It's okay."
Jessie was still hugging Ye Tianhui, deeply moved. "I've been thinking back to that moment. Oh my god, Tianhui, you're amazing! You're so amazing! I can't believe you flew over and saved Lin Jianquan!"
Ye Tianhui: "We don't seek to achieve anything, but we do seek to avoid mistakes. It's fine as long as we don't get implicated!"
Jessie let go of Ye Tianhui, scratched her head, and murmured uncertainly: "I don't think so."
Hiding in that stable was clearly against the rules of the stable. If they hadn't made any noise, they would have been fine. However, Ye Tianhui ran out, and something happened after she ran out.
To be fair, if Ye Tianhui had not run out, Lin Jianquan would have been in trouble. The best result would have been serious injuries. As for the other riders, I am afraid they would still not be spared.
Now she ran out and saved Lin Jianquan. Lin Jianquan was safe and sound, but the other riders were still in a bad state. It was difficult to judge the right and wrong of this matter.
If the rules are rigid, Ye Tianhui may still be held accountable.
In fact, Ye Tianhui had already thought of this, but she could no longer care about it. After all, she had already done it, so she sighed: "I will leave it to fate. I just want to do things with a clear conscience."
In fact, there is no need to consider so many things. When you see that the situation is not good, rushing out is just a matter of a moment. This is intuition and instinct. As for the consequences, you can analyze them slowly after you calm down.
Soon, she was called to Manager Hu. Manager Hu looked serious and had a long talk with her. He praised her fearlessness in the face of danger and said that if it were not for her, Lin Jianquan would have died. He also praised her quick reaction and her excellent kung fu.
Ye Tianhui felt something was wrong when she heard this praise.
This is clearly praising first and then criticizing.
Finally, Manager Hu looked at Ye Tianhui and said, "You really helped us. In view of your outstanding performance, we will reward you with one thousand Hong Kong dollars. Can you accept it?"
Since there is money to be made, Ye Tianhui will of course accept it.
However, there was no joy on her face. She looked at Manager Hu calmly, waiting for his next change of tone.
As expected, Manager Hu said, "But I also hope you understand that this accident has caused losses to our stable. An experienced and mature rider was implicated and suffered a serious fracture after being trampled by a galloping horse. Two other riders are likely to be eliminated. These are riders we have trained with real money and effort, so this loss is enormous."
Ye Tianhui raised an eyebrow and asked directly, "But what does their accident have to do with me? I only saved Lin Jianquan. I'm a mortal, I can't save more people. If I don't take action, only one more person will get hurt."
Manager Hu sighed, "Ms. Ye, I'm sorry, but you're just assuming. Regardless, the consequences have already occurred. We can't make assumptions. The current situation is that the incident has occurred and has led to a bad outcome."
He looked at Ye Tianhui and said, "Ms. Ye, you must admit that your appearance may have disturbed the subsequent horse races, causing congestion and chaos."
Ye Tianhui sneered: "You're putting the blame on me, but why don't you investigate the culprit? Who kicked Lin Jianquan's racehorse? Why did he do that? To win the race? What right did he have to do that? Was he instructed by someone else? Why would he do this to Lin Jianquan?"
Manager Hu looked at Ye Tianhui for a long moment before finally speaking in a serious tone, "Ms. Ye, it seems you don't understand much about the competition among the bug boys. When we train bug boys, we must select those with exceptional talent. Their stress response, perception, balance, and athletic ability all need to be top-notch. Beyond talent, they must also possess a strong mind and the ability to endure hardships. Only then can one rise to the top. I don't know how many bug boys simply give up halfway through."
Ye Tianhui frowned when she heard this.
Manager Hu said, "There's only one path to success. It's a job that requires the sacrifice of thousands of others. When one jockey rises, it means others lose opportunities. When one jockey falls, it inevitably creates opportunities for another, or several, riders. Before Ko Chi-ming, the most famous jockey was a British rider who won the Hong Kong Jumping Race three times in a row. Unfortunately, he fell and fractured his sternum. As he was being rushed to the hospital by ambulance, dozens of jockeys were already eyeing his spot. Everyone scrambled to get it, and only then did Ko Chi-ming get his chance, becoming the legendary Hong Kong jockey he is today."
Ye Tianhui understood.
Every bug wants to climb to the top of the pyramid, but there are only one or two at the top, and the road is too narrow. If you want to climb through, you must push others down.
A tree that stands out in the forest will be destroyed by the wind. Lin Jianquan's excellence has threatened the future of others.
Perhaps there were other people behind the rider's backing, but jealousy was his biggest motivation.
Lin Jianquan will encounter such things many times in his future horse racing career, even on regular racecourses, where it is possible that he will be ambushed at a critical moment.
Where there are people, there is right and wrong; where there are successes, failures and honors, there are intrigues, and this is also an aspect that he must cultivate in his horse racing career.
Manager Hu sighed. "There may be other reasons behind this, but that's beyond my control. We'll naturally punish the rider, and the police will handle it. He also suffered a broken bone, which may have ruined his racing career. But we can't keep you here any longer. I also hope you can consider our difficulties. Do you understand?"
Of course Ye Tianhui could understand that this must be Ye Wenyin putting pressure on her through her words.
As the VIP guests of the racecourse, the Ye family is the one that the racecourse wants to serve with all its might, not to mention that if the Ye family becomes famous this season and is promoted to the Jockey Club Committee, they will have more say in the horse racing field.
If you think about it more deeply, if the Ye family's Shatin area can be developed into a new horse racing venue, all the racecourses in Hong Kong will have to rely on them.
In this situation, with just a glance from Ye Wenyin, Manager Hu would definitely do his best, and she herself was so insignificant that she was naturally not worth mentioning and could be sacrificed at any time.
Ye Tianhui stopped making meaningless arguments. The best thing to do now was to get rid of her identity as soon as possible.
According to what she had heard before, it sounded like the Ye family would be coming over on Monday, and that would be her chance.
Otherwise, she is actually no different from Lin Jianquan. She can only rely on her own flesh and blood to struggle at the bottom, and it is difficult for her to get out.
So she had to find a way to meet Mr. Ye.
And for this purpose, she can just lower her posture as long as she can achieve her goal.
She seems carefree, but in fact she has never been a person who acts on short-term courage. A little impatience can ruin a big plan. She can be heroic on the battlefield, but she cannot act on impulse.
She immediately softened her tone, looked at Manager Hu and said, "Manager Hu, I understand your difficulties, and I won't stay here and embarrass you, but I have an unwelcome request, is that okay?"
Seeing that she actually accepted it so well, Manager Hu naturally breathed a sigh of relief. He immediately became generous and said, "As I said, to thank you, we will give you a bonus of HK$1,000 as a token of our consolation and gratitude. As for the rest, I will definitely help you within my ability and scope of my ability."
Ye Tianhui: "I started working here a few days ago and just moved to the stables yesterday to work the night shift. Before moving in to save on rent, I had already given up my house. Suddenly, it's hard for me to find a place to stay. Can you at least give me some time to find a place to stay? Can you let me continue working here over the weekend? There may be guests coming to the stables on Monday, but I'll leave early in the morning so that no one will see me. Is that okay?"
Manager Hu listened with some hesitation. He certainly hoped to get Ye Tianhui to leave the horse farm as soon as possible, which would also be beneficial for his subsequent communication with the Ye family.
Seeing this, Ye Tianhui pleaded again, "I came from the mainland and don't have much money. I finally found a job here, and I wanted to work hard. I didn't expect to get into trouble like this after only two days. I feel guilty. Now I hope you can at least let me work here for two more days. I don't want the weekend wages, I just hope I won't end up living on the streets for these two days."
Her words were sincere and somewhat pitiful, so Manager Hu couldn't bear it. He sighed and said, "Okay, but on Monday, you have to move out early in the morning. As for the weekend, we may have some cleaning work here. You can help out. We won't miss your salary."
Since Ye Tianhui had already received this promise, thinking that she would be able to meet the old man of the Ye family on Monday, she thanked him and left.
*******************
She was going to be fired anyway, so she told Jessie about it. Although Jessie was not fired, she was punished.
He was a little listless, but surprisingly still very gossipy. He told Ye Tianhui in detail about his interrogation, the injuries and future of those riders, and he also mentioned Lin Jianquan.
Lin Jianquan was hardly injured, but he heard that the Ye family was very dissatisfied with him and planned to give up. He also lost the initiative because of this incident, his reputation was not good, and all his efforts were wasted.
However, due to his talent, the stable decided, after comprehensive consideration, to keep him and train him well, hoping that after things had settled down, they would bring him out to participate in competitions, let him accumulate points, and then sell him for a good price.
Jessie was indignant about these arrangements. "This was clearly your contribution, yet they're trying to get rid of you. They're just picking on the weak, and you've become the victim."
Ye Tianhui no longer had any emotional fluctuations about this matter. She would just wait and see what would happen next.
She smiled and said, "It's nothing. Actually, my original purpose for coming to the racecourse was not pure. Now that I've been here for a while, I can say that I've made some progress."
She originally thought it would be a good idea to work at the horse farm to learn some knowledge and get in touch with horses. However, after arriving, she found that there was a lot of trivial work to do, which actually wasted her time and was not cost-effective. She might as well go to the library to borrow more books and buy some horse readings to study.
Jessie sighed, "I heard that the Ye family's horses are now being kept at the stables. It seems that something is wrong with Black Rose. They are also feeling guilty, so they can only try their best to please Miss Ye and hope that Miss Ye will say a good word for them."
Ye Tianhui listened and said, "It seems that the horse is indeed in trouble."
Jessie nodded and comforted Ye Tianhui: "You go find a place to live first. I will also ask my friends. If there is a job opportunity, I will introduce you."
After expressing her gratitude, Ye Tianhui left the racecourse first.
She thought of Gu Shizhang and wanted to call him, but then she remembered that he was far away in England.
Although he gave her his contact information in the UK and the phone number of an assistant, she thought about it and decided not to.
Although the two of them were friends and he was very good to her, she didn't want to report everything to him. Moreover, she was not willing to talk about her various connections with the Ye family in detail when the matter of recognition of relatives was still unresolved.
I gave up the idea and rushed back to my original rental house to ask the old lady about the house.
After she walked out of the racecourse, she hurried to the bus stop. However, when she passed the roadside parking lot, the door of a car next to her opened and a man got out of the car.
When Ye Tianhui saw him, she immediately remembered that this was the person who gave her a ride that day.
She looked at the man and remembered how she had rushed to work that day, full of hope, and now she was about to be kicked out.
Finally I met this man again.
But she was too lazy to pay attention and went to the bus stop.
Who knew the man would say, "What did you want to say to me that day?"
Ye Tianhui paused and looked back at the man.
She smiled: "Nothing."
Ye Lixuan pursed his lips and looked at her silently, with a probing look in his eyes.
Ye Tianhui didn't want to pay any attention to him at first, after all, she was involved in a lawsuit. But when she saw the look in his eyes, she felt disgusted for no reason. The look was scrutinizing, defensive, and inquiring.
This person is really disgusting. He actually treated her as a woman of questionable character. Has he never seen a woman before? He actually thought too much just by seeing a little girl.
She just asked him if he was Ye Lixuan. Since he was not, then so be it. Why would she chase after him?
Ye Tianhui felt that this person really needed a little education.
She walked up to him and looked at him: "Sir, actually when I first saw you, I felt that you looked very familiar and friendly."
Ye Lixuan looked at her silently, without any emotion in his eyes.
Ye Tianhui smiled and said, "The reason I asked you those questions is because I have a relative and I think you look a lot like him."
Ye Lixuan: "Oh?"
Ye Tianhui sighed sadly: "My relative is my dear uncle."
Ye Lixuan frowned slightly.
Ye Tianhui continued, "He was weak since childhood, with a low IQ, skinny, and ugly, and everyone despised him. When he grew up, he was uneducated and indulged in drinking, gambling, and whoring, and contracted a lot of diseases. My grandfather kicked him out of the house, but my father was still thinking about this relative and kept looking for him. The first time I saw you that day -"
She looked at him sincerely, her eyes revealing true feelings: "I feel that you really look like my uncle, whether it's your expression, temperament or appearance, they are very similar, so I asked you."
Ye Lixuan's eyes suddenly turned cold: "You——"
He naturally understood that she was deliberately slandering him.
Ye Lixuan had never met such a presumptuous and bad girl in his life.
Ye Tianhui sighed: "Although you look a lot like my uncle, I don't think you are. After all, you look a lot older than my uncle."
She looked at him kindly and said, "I hope you can have a healthy and happy life. Don't let yourself fall into depravity, and don't be too self-deprecating about your intelligence and appearance. In fact, you are not that bad. Really, just believe me. Goodbye."
She turned and left.
Behind him, Ye Lixuan said coldly: "Little girl, didn't your parents teach you what manners are?"
Ye Tianhui laughed bluntly and said, "Uncle, didn't your ancestors teach you what self-knowledge is? Look at you, your face is full of wrinkles that can kill a mosquito, and when a young girl comes to talk to you, do you actually have wild thoughts? How filthy are you!"
Ye Lixuan: "Don't you know what you said? Did you deliberately say your last name is Ye? And you're still guessing my identity!"
Ye Tianhui naturally understood that the Ye family was a wealthy family. No matter which branch of the Ye family the man in front of her was from, as long as he had the name "Ye", there would be no shortage of women throwing themselves at him.
The words I used when trying to strike up a conversation that day were indeed easy to be misunderstood, making people think that I had other intentions, and that I had planned this carefully for a long time.
But she still found it funny.
He then said, "I'm telling you, my uncle's name is Ye Lixuan. I came to you because of a misunderstanding. Since you said you're not called that name, then why are you still pestering you? As for my last name—"
As she spoke, she rolled up her sleeves, revealing her smooth arms. "I won't change my name or surname. My surname is Ye, and I've been named Ye for two lifetimes. What's it to you what my surname is? If you bring this up again, I'll beat you up, believe it or not."
Ye Lixuan stood upright beside the parking lawn, frowning slightly, staring coldly at the unruly little girl in front of him.
Initially, he thought she was beautiful and bright, but later he discovered that she had evil intentions and ulterior motives. Now he realized that she could be extremely vicious and cruel.
He took a deep breath and finally said, "Little girl, you are still very young and have a long way to go in life. Take care of yourself."
