Chapter 33
When everyone heard this, they all frowned and listened carefully to the old man's family precepts.
The old man took a leisurely sip of tea before speaking, "Hong Kong's economy has begun to develop in recent years. As you've all seen, great opportunities are emerging in all sectors, including clothing, electronics, catering, and real estate. This presents a challenge for our Ye family. Perhaps you think that the Ye family, with its wealth and power, isn't afraid of these challenges, but you should also understand that precisely because of our wealth and power, we must seize the best development opportunities in Hong Kong."
He sighed, "If a small family couldn't seize this historical opportunity, that would be fine. There would always be other ways to make money. But we are different. If we don't advance, we will retreat. We have to catch the main wave. If we can't catch the main wave, we will only take the biggest one. With our family wealth, if we only take small fish and shrimp, we will be eating up all the resources, declining, and falling behind."
Everyone listened, either nodding in agreement or keeping silent.
Ye Tianhui deeply agreed with what he said. Managing a family is like governing a country, and governing a country is like steering the ship. It's the same principle.
The Ye family is one of the wealthiest families in Hong Kong. He cannot just take small profits, as small profits are not enough to maintain the huge system of the Ye family. They can only catch big waves. If they fail to catch them, the family's status will decline.
Old Master Ye swept his wise eyes over the crowd and said, "I have repeatedly dragged our Ye family to this point today, and I am already content. Now that I am old, what I want to do is to seize more opportunities for you while I am still here, lead our Ye family ship to a wider sea, and create more opportunities for you."
A young man nearby spoke up, "Grandpa is absolutely right. We all listen carefully to your teachings."
After hearing this, Ye Tianhui looked over and remembered that the man was Ye Wenyong, the son of Ye Lizhen.
It seems that sons who follow in their father's footsteps are all quite good at pretending.
Old Master Ye continued, "Behind closed doors, we're all family. I'll tell you something from my heart. The Gu family has been entrenched in Southeast Asia for over a hundred years, and in recent decades, their business has flourished. Their current family businesses span real estate, finance, and the service industry, and their reach has extended to Europe and the United States. The old man of the Gu family and I have been friends for many years. This marriage between our two families was something I begged for at the cost of my reputation, and I absolutely must see it through because it affects our future cooperation plans with the Gu family. This cooperation plan is a golden trick I've left for you, a way out for you when you're in dire straits."
He sighed again, "It's just that times have changed. It's not the same as it was back then. Back then, we relied on parents' orders and matchmakers' words. Now you want to be free to fall in love, and I can't say anything. But now that Wen Yin and Zhi Han are finally dating, as elders, we all think it's a good thing and are happy to see it happen. Isn't this a great thing? We're also cooperating with the Gu family, and now this has happened. What do you want me to do?"
Ye Wenyin beside him lowered her head and listened obediently.
She naturally understood that Gu Zhihan was her last straw, and marriage to the Gu family was her only hope.
If she can't grab this straw, she will have no hope at all.
The old man continued, "I've already talked to Mr. Gu. He wants to continue the marriage between the two families, but it depends on Zhihan's opinion. After all, we are all open-minded families now, and we can't force you to do anything. This is also for the overall benefit of our Ye family."
What he said was the conclusion of the matter.
This is the general direction of development for the Ye family. This is a rare opportunity for marriage under the premise of free love, so Ye Wenyin's identity is necessary, otherwise the Ye family will not be able to find other suitable marriages.
Ye Wenyin finally felt relieved. Gu Zhihan should have known the truth. As long as he was still willing to marry her and the Gu family had no objection, her identity and status would be completely preserved.
Old Master Ye looked at Ye Tianhui again: "Tianhui, you are magnanimous. There is no need to mention the past if you can. You have suffered all these years. It is the Ye family that has wronged you. I will definitely try to make it up to you if I can."
Ye Tianhui bowed her head respectfully and said in a calm voice, "Grandpa, I understand. You will not owe a little junior like me anything."
**********
After the family meeting was over, Mr. Ye called Ye Tianhui to the study.
Mr. Ye’s study is located on the third floor of the villa area. It seems that this third floor has no other use and is just Mr. Ye’s study.
The corridor is long and elegant, and is decorated with a scholarly atmosphere.
Led by her secretary, Ye Tianhui walked along the corridor for a long time. Just when she thought the corridor had almost no end, she finally arrived at a big door.
It was a gate that was almost two meters high, an antique gate with a golden nanmu plaque on it, on which were carved four large characters in a flamboyant style: "Only goodness is a treasure."
The secretary gently knocked on the door, and a slightly hoarse voice came from inside: "Come in."
Then the door was pushed open and Ye Tianhui walked in.
As soon as you walk in, the first thing you see is a pot of green bamboo placed in the reception area. When you look around the reception area, you will see Mr. Ye.
He was sitting at a rosewood desk, frowning slightly, looking down at some documents.
The spacious office is luxurious and quiet.
It is so quiet that it almost gives people the illusion that this place is isolated from time and space.
This reminded Ye Tianhui of the time when she went to the imperial study in her previous life. The saint's imperial study also gave people this feeling. It was always quiet and oppressive, making every visiting minister feel insignificant.
Ye Tianhui walked to the desk, but she didn't speak.
She felt that she should be depressed and a little resentful now.
A little girl's emotions should be shown in real time at this moment, that's what it means to be real.
This would also allow Old Master Ye to feel at ease in front of her - with her current status, she would never challenge the old man's authority.
At this time, Mr. Ye stopped what he was doing and looked up at Ye Tianhui.
It was only at this time that Ye Tianhui discovered that Mr. Ye's facial features were very profound. It was obvious that he must have been a handsome man when he was young. It was estimated that Ye Lixuan today was very similar to him when he was young.
At this moment, his worldly-wise eyes were exceptionally kind and looked at her with love.
It was as if the majestic patriarch had disappeared.
This made Ye Tianhui admire this person. He was really a master at manipulating people's hearts.
Obviously, because of his son Ye Lixuan's rebuttal on the spot, Mr. Ye lost face and felt that his authority was damaged, so he spoke sternly to restore some face for Ye Wenyin.
He gave Ye Wenyin face to leave a way out for the future. He was probably thinking that if Ye Wenyin still married into the Gu family in the future, he would not let Ye Wenyin down because of what happened now.
But after all, she is his granddaughter, and he doesn't want to give her up, so he comes to comfort her privately.
He is the one who is said to be as smooth as a tofu cut with a knife.
Ye Tianhui had seen many people like this in her previous life, so she was not surprised.
At this time, Old Master Ye finally spoke: "My child, in fact, from the first time I saw you, I felt a kindred spirit in my heart. I felt that this child looked familiar and that we had a good relationship. Later, when I learned that you were my granddaughter, I had only one feeling in my heart, and it was indeed so."
Ye Tianhui didn't say much.
Seeing this, Mr. Ye stood up, walked around the rosewood table and came to Ye Tianhui.
He raised his hand and patted Ye Tianhui's shoulder lovingly: "Flesh and blood love is the most precious thing in this world. Nothing can compare to it. Child, I look at you and my heart aches!"
Ye Tianhui raised her eyes and looked over.
The old man's eyes are honest and full of love. At first glance, he is an old man who cares for his younger generations.
Anyone else would be bewitched by him and would probably burst into tears of gratitude.
Ye Tianhui whispered, "Grandpa, I feel bad when you say this. You should know that. It's just that I couldn't help but give you face in front of everyone just now, but I don't feel good at all."
Old Master Ye listened, but seemed a little surprised, and asked in confusion: "Why, Tianhui, are you angry with Grandpa?"
Ye Tianhui: "Grandpa, you know very well why I was left in the mainland and abused by that adoptive mother. I suffered so much. What is the reason behind this? You know it better than anyone else, right? I thought that once I found my relatives, someone would seek justice for me. You're making me feel that you are not my biological grandfather, but Ye Wenyin's biological grandfather."
Old Master Ye sighed and said helplessly, "You kid, aren't you talking nonsense? No matter what, you are my granddaughter. How could I bear to let my granddaughter suffer? Grandpa will definitely think about you. As for those outsiders, there is nothing I can do about it. In fact, I am definitely on your side in my heart. Can't you understand Grandpa's thoughts?"
Ye Tianhui couldn't help laughing when she heard it.
With this method, it would be a shame if he didn't become an emperor in ancient times to win over the people's hearts!
Old Master Ye naturally noticed his granddaughter's dissatisfaction. He walked over to the large French window and looked out at the scenery before saying, "This mansion of ours was actually the land and property we bought before the war. We built the house then, but it wasn't until the late 1940s when I came from the mainland to settle here that I decided to renovate our residence. I also bought all the surrounding land and finally expanded it to its current size. I thought at the time that all my wives, children, and descendants, the descendants of our Ye family, would live here, passing it down from generation to generation, and everyone would live in harmony and happiness forever."
Ye Tianhui: "A beautiful wish."
Most emperors who have established a great foundation and achieved great success hope that their descendants will enjoy the glory forever. For example, Qin Shihuang hoped that the dynasty would be passed down to the second and third generations.
Old Master Ye was obviously no exception. He built the huge Ye family mansion, but who knows what happened after his death? Before he even died, I'm afraid his descendants from different families have already been fighting over some minor benefits.
Old Master Ye naturally saw the sarcasm in Ye Tianhui's smile, and he also laughed: "Look, you are laughing at me, an old man. I know it's ridiculous, but child, when you reach my age, maybe you will understand me more."
Ye Tianhui: "Grandpa, I believe that when you were my age, you would also want to laugh when you heard such a beautiful vision."
Old Master Ye was stunned for a moment, then burst out laughing: "Yes, yes, yes, when I was seventeen or eighteen years old, I was full of vigor and vitality, and I really couldn't stand the old people's way of thinking. People always have different ideas at different ages."
After a while, he stopped laughing and said, "Son, your father's mother is my first wife. You should know this."
Ye Tianhui: "Yes, but I know that you have someone else in your heart, Grandpa. Your original wife is just a wife who has lived with you through thick and thin."
Old Master Ye shook his head and sighed, "You're just a child, you're so blunt and outspoken, you keep saying things you shouldn't. What do you mean by a wife who has been with you for so long? No matter where we go, she's still my first wife. Your father is now my only legitimate son, don't you understand?"
Ye Tianhui: "...I seem to understand a little bit."
Old Master Ye said, "My child, you may think I'm cold-blooded and heartless, but I'm your grandfather and the head of the Ye family. I shoulder the responsibility of the entire family, so what I say to you today will be from the bottom of my heart."
Ye Tianhui knew that the old man was serious, so she restrained herself: "Grandpa, just say it, I'm listening."
Old Master Ye nodded, his hands behind his back as he slowly paced around the office, saying, "I must have this marriage between the Gu and Ye families. I've already explained the reasons. Currently, the only unmarried person of the right age is Gu Zhihan."
He looked at Ye Tianhui and said, "Now we should prioritize the overall situation and secure this marriage. Wen Yin is the best guarantee for this marriage. As for her position in our Ye family, that's up to you."
Ye Tianhui: "Look at me?"
Old Master Ye's eyes softened. "You are my granddaughter. Although you grew up in the mainland and have never been carefully taught, I believe that you are no worse than the girls raised in the Ye family. As long as you are willing, you can be good enough. You can also try this marriage."
Ye Tianhui: "Me? Me and who?"
Mr. Ye: "Of course it's Gu Zhihan."
Ye Tianhui: “?”
Mr. Ye: "I just want you to have some contact. In fact, Wen Yin and Zhi Fan are just in contact at the moment."
Ye Tianhui was speechless for a moment. Is this possible?
Are wealthy people so unpretentious?
Old Master Ye: "Tianhui, let me tell you something from the bottom of my heart. The reason why I chose Zhifan in the first place is actually related to the layout of the Gu family. Old Master Gu has four sons in total, and the youngest one is the most outstanding, but too outstanding. It's just that he is too outstanding. Not to mention us, even the Gu family can't control him."
"He's still overseas and hasn't returned. Even if he did, he wouldn't necessarily care about the Gu family's affairs, so we can't consider it. The other three sons all have their own plans. Zhihan is the son of the second wife, and the second wife now controls the financial investment business, which will be the Gu family's key development direction in the future. So, among the several branches of the Gu family, I chose the second wife. I chose the most promising branch of the Ye family for marriage. Apart from Zhihan, the other sons of the second wife are not suitable in age."
He looked at Ye Tianhui: "It's not that I have to force you, I just want to give you a chance to get in touch first. Whether it succeeds or not is up to you."
Ye Tianhui: "I have met the young master of the Gu family. It seems that he cares a lot about Ye Wenyin."
She paused before saying, "So, it's the second branch of the Gu family, that is, the parents of this young master of the Gu family, who don't agree with this marriage?"
When Mr. Ye heard this, surprise flashed in his eyes. He looked at Ye Tianhui and then smiled.
His smile gradually showed appreciation: "Very good, you are very smart, very smart."
He smiled and said, "You guessed right. It's the second wife who can't stand it. She doesn't like Wen Yin. Now she's just doing it to save face for Mr. Gu, but privately she can't help but feel some resentment. I was thinking of getting married, since it's the best of both families. If the parents have some objections, there will always be hidden dangers. So I also thought, you should give it a try. If you think it's suitable, and the Gu family has no problem with it, then this opportunity will naturally be yours."
After hearing this, Ye Tianhui finally understood the old man's wishful thinking.
It is to let her compete with Ye Wenyin. Ye Wenyin's advantage is that she and Gu Zhihan are in love, but her disadvantage is that Gu Zhihan's mother does not like her and will not let her go. Moreover, she is not a biological daughter, and obviously the Gu family also knows it.
Anyway, the old man is trying to coax both sides now. When the time comes, whether it is a real granddaughter or a fake granddaughter, he can use her.
So, she and Ye Wenyin are like two dishes on the table, and it depends on who looks better and tastes better.
hehe.
She then asked, "Can I ask about the fourth son of the Gu family? What's his situation?"
Mr. Ye said, "He's a rare figure in the Gu family, and even in Hong Kong. He should be developing in Europe and the United States now. I heard from him a few days ago that he is in the UK, taking advantage of the British economic crisis to acquire shares in British manufacturing at low prices."
Ye Tianhui didn't ask any more questions and brought up her own business: "Grandpa, since I've married into the Ye family, I naturally have to serve the family. But do you think that I was able to grow up safely in the hands of that vicious woman, and then ride the turbulent waves to Hong Kong, and finally appear in front of you, finally making you acknowledge my identity. Am I useless for anything else? Am I only worthy of being a tool for marriage?"
After hearing this, Mr. Ye looked at Ye Tianhui seriously and finally said, "Oh, what? You don't want to get married."
He raised an eyebrow and guessed, "You know horses. Do you want to get involved in the family racing business?"
Ye Tianhui: "Yes, haven't I already proved my strength to you?"
Old Master Ye laughed: "Very good, tell me about your plan."
Ye Tianhui said, "In a while, the new racing season in Hong Kong will begin. I know that the Ye family has purchased a total of four horses from the UK. I hope to gain management rights for these horses. This is an opportunity for me to show my strengths."
Old Master Ye: "This...Tianhui, I can't agree to your request at the moment."
Old Master Ye was obviously a little surprised. The request made by Ye Tianhui was really too abrupt. Old Master Ye wanted to observe first before making any plans.
However, Ye Tianhui is ambitious.
If she didn't have any ambition at all, she wouldn't have to force her way into the Ye family. She just wanted to use the Ye family's resources to stir up trouble.
So, she suggested, "I know Ye Wenyin studied horse racing in the UK and may have rich professional knowledge, but Grandpa, this incident has also proved that horse racing is a more practical project. I have rich practical experience with horses. Compared with those well-read doctors, I think I am better. As for horse racing, Grandpa, I believe you must have done some research on me. I came to Hong Kong with 200 Hong Kong dollars in my hand and was able to settle down. I think you should believe in my ability, right?"
Old Master Ye chuckled. "You registered with the mainland refugees a few days ago, and then started working at the racecourse. I do know a little about your work there. You were able to help the poor and needy in times of crisis, and you managed to escape unscathed. You're truly courageous."
Ye Tianhui looked at Old Man Ye with a smile and asked, "So, I don't deserve Grandpa's trust?"
Old Master Ye suppressed his smile and remained silent for a moment before speaking, "Tianhui, you're my granddaughter, so naturally I trust you. But this horse race is a matter of great importance. It concerns our reputation in the Hong Kong horse racing community. You have to understand that in Hong Kong, reputation is a social calling card and a means of advancement. Regardless, Wenyin assisted your uncle in purchasing these four horses from England. She's familiar with the entire process, and I can't easily replace her just because of you."
Ye Tianhui sneered and pressed directly, "Grandpa, since you've investigated, you should know what caused the accident at the racecourse last time. Haven't you ever doubted your good granddaughter?"
Old Master Ye's expression paused for a moment, and his sharp eyes suddenly shot towards Ye Tianhui.
Ye Tianhui smiled calmly: "Grandpa, this season, you want to win, right?"
Old Master Ye took a deep breath and remained silent for a long moment before he sighed. "If you want to compete with your second uncle for this job, it's not impossible. But if I rashly hand it over to you, I'm afraid no one in the family will accept it. After all, Wen Yin, or your second uncle, hasn't made any major mistakes so far."
Ye Tianhui understood that this old man Ye was going to set a trap for her, and immediately said, "Grandpa, just tell me."
Old Master Ye said, "There will be several inter-class races at the racecourse. If you can bet on the first-place horse three times, I can give you a chance to become the director of the family's horse service company. At that time, you will be on equal footing with your second uncle in the horse service company."
He stared at Ye Tianhui: "How about it, do you dare?"
Ye Tianhui listened and naturally didn't expect it.
The conditions offered by Mr. Ye at the moment are harsh but also generous.
What is meant by "harsh" is that it is not easy to bet on the horse that comes in first place every time in three consecutive inter-class races. After all, the racing field is always full of surprises. This is not even a competition that can be completely dominated by strength. It requires multiple factors such as weather, race, and rider condition.
Even the best horse judges cannot do this unless they manipulate the results of the competition behind the scenes.
But the rewards are also rich.
Because even Ye Wenyin has always been involved in the Ye family's horse racing business, but in fact she does not have independent decision-making power. The main person in charge of horse racing is Ye Lizhen, and Ye Wenyin is just involved in it and plays a supporting role.
And as long as she wins, she will be able to compete with Ye Lizhen.
While Ye Tianhui was pondering, Old Master Ye smiled and said, "You can think about it carefully. I'll give you two days."
Ye Tianhui made a prompt decision: "I agree."
Old Master Ye raised his gray eyebrows and looked at Ye Tianhui: "You agree? Are you so confident?"
Ye Tianhui said: "Just give it a try. Even if it doesn't work, Grandpa, you still have to support me, your granddaughter, right?"
Upon hearing this, Old Master Ye laughed heartily. "Okay, then it's settled! Next, I'll make arrangements for you. My secretary will explain your plans to you. As for you, you only need to choose three races from the inter-class races at the racecourse and bet on the first place winner!"
He looked at Ye Tianhui: "Let me see how you can convince the whole family!"
********
Ye Tianhui certainly understood that this old man Ye was also a shrewd and scheming man.
He dreamed that his children would be united and harmonious, and live in the Ye Garden he built for generations to come. However, in reality, he himself was calculating against his own children and grandchildren, and his descendants were influenced by his superiors. Why did he think that his children were simple, kind, and valued family affection?
Now this old man has placed a big pie in front of her, but in fact he just wants her to run for him like a horse, just to get those rewards.
Of course, he is an old man, he is rich, and he can control everyone's destiny, so as Ye Wenyin, I can only run on the track he designated to strive for possible resources.
It's no big deal.
Ye Tianhui was thinking about something when she came out of the old man's room. After coming out, she was led by the secretary to another room, which was not too big. A man in a suit was waiting for her inside.
The other party smiled and nodded at her: "Hello, my last name is Peng, I am the old man's lawyer, and now I have been entrusted by the old man to tell you about the gift you will receive next."
Ye Tianhui nodded: "Hello, Lawyer Peng, please tell me."
Lawyer Peng politely shook hands with Ye Tianhui and explained to her what the old man was about to give her.
Speak in detail one by one.
From the education trust fund she should have received at birth, to the annual birthday gifts, to the reward she should have received when she turned eighteen, and an additional property in Causeway Bay.
Lawyer Peng: "In short, Mr. Ye said that he would compensate you as much as possible. These are not gifts that he has the right to give to you."
Ye Tianhui actually didn't quite understand all of this. After all, there was no such thing in the mainland, nor in her dynasty. Moreover, the lawyer's words were inexplicably mixed with a few English words.
But she listened hard and tried to digest it.
Finally, the lawyer pushed a stack of documents in front of her and said, "Ms. Ye, please take a look at these documents. I will explain them to you in detail if you have any questions. If you have no objections, please sign them. I will assist you with the subsequent procedures as soon as possible."
Ye Tianhui looked over and saw a pile of documents of various kinds.
She picked up one of them and took a look. It contained both traditional Chinese characters and English. Relying on her intuition about traditional Chinese characters, she could barely understand it. It was a transfer document for a property in Causeway Bay. It seemed to be the mansion that Lawyer Peng had just mentioned, which was about 700 square feet.
Ye Tianhui actually had no idea about real estate, but based on the conversion between feet and square meters, she figured that this house was probably equivalent to a two-bedroom apartment in the mainland?
One of her classmates lived in an old Soviet-style building with two bedrooms, which was quite comfortable to live in.
In a place like Hong Kong where pigeon cages are everywhere, such a big house can indeed be called a mansion.
Although this may not mean anything to the Ye family, she is quite satisfied with it. After all, she now has her own property.
She asked, "This house will be transferred to your name, right?"
Lawyer Peng smiled and said, "Of course."
Ye Tianhui blinked.
In fact, she wanted to ask, if she and the Ye family broke up, could the Ye family still get the house back.
But it's not easy to ask such questions.
Lawyer Peng looked at her, as if he could see through her thoughts, and said, "After it is transferred to Ms. Ye's name, it will become Ms. Ye's asset. Personal property is protected by law and no one can deprive it of its ownership."
Ye Tianhui understood, and she felt very good after understanding it. She couldn't help but take the property documents and look at them carefully. The more she looked at them, the more she liked it.
A house of your own!
Ye Tianhui was overjoyed. She felt that she had made the right move in recognizing her relatives. Getting a house for free was not much better than renting a house that cost more than HK$100 a month, but it was much better than the stable dormitory.
After fully savoring the joy of owning a property of her own, Ye Tianhui continued to read on.
In addition to the house, the Ye family also gave her some money. The money was given under various names, including education expenses, birthday gifts, reimbursement of luxury car rewards for her eighteenth birthday, and other things. It was divided into many documents and in various forms.
After looking at it for a while, she asked, "I can't just spend this money casually? They all have their uses, right?"
Lawyer Peng explained to her that the education trust fund was for studying. She was only eighteen years old and could not use it yet. She could only withdraw it as a wedding gift when she was twenty-four years old and confirmed that she was no longer receiving education.
The birthday celebration gift money could have been used, but because she had not received it for a long time, it is now paid in one lump sum. The money will be set up in a trust fund specifically for her, and she can only withdraw it on a monthly basis.
Lawyer Peng said, "Ms. Ye, don't worry. As a child of the Ye family, you will receive a fixed monthly allowance for your spending. This money will be deposited into your personal account on the first day of each month. You can spend it as you please."
After hearing this, Ye Tianhui felt a little relieved. At least she was not penniless and had money to spend.
She was very practical. She had a shallow foundation after all when she entered this wealthy family. There were gossips everywhere in the wealthy family, and she might not be able to get any advantage. So, as a person, one must set the lowest requirements. After entering this door, she should at least ask for some real advantages to give herself a way out.
What equity, what trust funds, all those are only available thanks to the Ye family.
There are many economic means in a capitalist society. She comes from the feudal agricultural era and the socialist society. She will definitely not be able to fight against their capital scheming.
Therefore, what he got was his own. Now, the things he could control most were the real estate under his name and the monthly salary. These were the things he could use freely without being controlled by the Ye family.
Now that she has the money, she will consider buying Tengyunwu first!
Ye Tianhui was about to sign the documents immediately.
Lawyer Peng hurriedly asked, "There are some documents. Miss Ye, would you like to take a closer look?"
Ye Tianhui smiled and said, "No need, just sign it."
Anyway, she is not afraid of those who wear shoes even though she is barefoot. When she first came to Hong Kong, it was just a life and two redwood fish. Now that she has married into this wealthy family, there is nothing to be afraid of. She can just sign the contract.
Seeing this, Lawyer Peng instructed her to sign everywhere.
After Ye Tianhui signed, Lawyer Peng looked at Ye Tianhui's flamboyant handwriting, which was so majestic and powerful that he couldn't help but smile: "Ms. Ye has a beautiful handwriting."
***********
Ye Tianhui has always considered herself to be unlearned. She had gone to the palace to study with the princes and princesses since she was a child, and accompanied them to listen to the instruction of the prince's tutor. However, she really had no talent in this area, and her calligraphy skills were even worse.
The reason she was able to write the name well was actually because she was frightened by the saint who was still a prince at the time. He said that anything else was fine, but one must write his own name well.
He threatened her that if she couldn't even write her name properly, her signature on war reports would look ugly and she would be laughed at by many people.
Ye Tianhui thought it made sense, so she practiced writing her name hard, and sure enough, she wrote her name very well.
After her rebirth, her original name was naturally not this, but coincidentally her last name was Ye. After she grew up, she immediately changed her name to the one from her previous life, and she felt relieved.
Now she actually has the opportunity to show off her calligraphy skills that she has practiced so hard when signing her signature.
Ye Tianhui took the copy of the document and looked at the property she was about to get. She was very excited for a moment. When she had time, she wanted to go and see the house, her own house!
The splendid and prosperous Hong Kong, the Hong Kong where the unfamiliar Cantonese is spoken, is filled with the trivial atmosphere of fireworks, with the warmth and coldness of human nature, but it is also indifferent and unfamiliar.
But here, she will have her own place to stay, a house that would be considered a mansion to ordinary people.
The more Ye Tianhui thought about it, the more she liked him. Even the old man's shrewd face became cute.
Next, she moved from the guest room building to the main courtyard of the Ye family. The main courtyard was a complex of buildings centered on the main house where Old Master Ye lived. The main house covered an area of more than 6,000 feet and was divided into three floors. It was where Old Master Ye lived and worked.
The main house extends to the east, west, south and north, with some independent small buildings. Each building has two floors and is equipped with corresponding kitchens and bathrooms. It can be said that it is an independent villa.
She couldn't help but find it a bit novel, which was interesting and in line with the old man's thoughts.
On weekdays, each doorman lives alone, but after all, each family is connected by blood. The old man can just make a phone call and be able to reach his guest room in just two or three minutes. It is much more convenient than everyone living in a high-rise building.
Ye Tianhui naturally lived with Ye Lixuan and Ye Wenyin. She didn't have much luggage, so the housekeeper took her directly to the house.
The house has two floors. The lower floor is the living room, nanny room, kitchen and living room, etc. Upstairs are four bedrooms. Ye Lixuan's study and bedroom each occupy one, Ye Wenyin lives in the south-facing room, and the other faces east. Now they are quickly decorated for Ye Tianhui to live in.
When Ye Tianhui moved in, Ye Wenyin was drinking tea in the restaurant downstairs. Seeing her come in, she looked up and said, "I'll call you Tianhui from now on."
Ye Tianhui simply pretended not to hear and called the servants to serve her tea and food.
She wants to eat.
The maid's name was Sister Li. After hearing this, she hurried to serve Ye Tianhui tea and pastries. Ye Tianhui was very demanding and wanted this and that. Soon, piles of cups, plates and dishes came over, almost occupying the entire dining table.
Ye Tianhui swaggered and glanced at Ye Wenyin: "There are so many delicious foods, you don't have to be polite, try some too?"
Ye Wenyin: “…”
The corners of her mouth twitched.
Ye Tianhui has just arrived, but she acts like the owner!
Ye Tianhui looked at Ye Wenyin and said, "Wenyin, what's wrong? Are you feeling unwell? Why are the corners of your mouth twitching? Do you want to see a family doctor?"
Ye Wenyin didn't know what to say for a moment.
She even knew about it, her family doctor?
Sister Li on the side was also surprised. This new lady was really amazing. If you didn't know her, you would have thought she had lived in this house for ten or six months.
Ye Wenyin said firmly, "No need."
Ye Tianhui sighed, picked up a piece of cake with a fork, and with a "pop", threw it directly into Ye Wenyin's plate.
The projection was precise, without any error, and it covered up Ye Wenyin's original delicate little dessert perfectly.
Ye Wenyin shuddered suddenly and hid back in fear.
She looked at her warily, with a slightly frightened expression
Sister Li was watching from the side, and her eyes were also not right.
This new lady might have some amazing skills, right?
Ye Tianhui was very calm and said with a smile: "Wen Yin, although you and I have no blood relationship, don't worry. Since you are raised in our family, I will talk to Daddy and let you continue to stay here. You will have your share of mine. You won't be short of anything. Don't worry."
She kindly comforted him, "As for the food, there's no need to be so reserved. Come on, come on, eat more. Otherwise, people will say that our Ye family is abusing our adopted daughter."
Ye Wenyin's eyes were dazed when she heard this. How shameless could she be to think of herself as the hostess as soon as she arrived.
She stood up carefully, and then without caring about anything else, she hurried back upstairs as if escaping.
Ye Tianhui looked at her panicked back, playing with the fork in her hand and sneered in her heart.
If it were her personality, she would naturally kick Ye Wenyin and beat her to a pulp, then tear her body apart and throw her out.
But she also understood that she couldn't be so simple and rough with this wealthy family.
Always think positively, she is now settled in a wealthy family, eating and drinking well, and Ye Wenyin is nothing more than an eyesore.
But it doesn't matter, she will sort it out slowly.
Feng Suqin sent her daughter to Hong Kong to enjoy a life of luxury and wealth, but she treated herself so harshly and made herself suffer. So, after she came to Hong Kong with great difficulty, why should she let me see her fulfill her mission?
Not only does she have to take back what she lost, but she also has to watch Feng Suqin's efforts go in vain!
Of course, there is still a long way to go.
Now she just wants to enjoy this luxurious life to the fullest.
