Chapter 34
Ye Tianhui went straight to her room. This east-facing room naturally did not receive as much sunlight as the south-facing one, but the large floor-to-ceiling windows provided a great view, which was enough for her.
The room also has a separate bathroom and toilet, so she can use it as she pleases.
There was a small cloakroom at the entrance. Ye Tianhui opened it and took a look. There was a whole row of clothes inside, all of which looked very expensive and fashionable.
As I was watching, someone knocked on the door. It was Sister Li.
Perhaps because of the shock just now, she was a little nervous. She whispered about the situation, saying that she had been taking care of Mr. and Miss Ye here, and she was responsible for cleaning and cooking at home.
He seemed to be a fairly well-behaved person, and he told me everything that was going on at home in a very polite manner.
Finally, he added, "As for the clothes in the cloakroom, they're all brand new. I was just worried that Miss wouldn't like the clothes outside, so I cleaned them all and you can wear them whenever you want. As for meals, I'll go upstairs and remind you when it's time for dinner."
Ye Tianhui thought what she said was interesting and asked other questions, which Sister Li answered patiently.
Finally, Ye Tianhui suddenly remembered: "This house is halfway up the mountain. There are no buses or taxis around. What should I do if I need to go out?"
The old man asked her to get a driver's license so that he could give her a car. But what if she didn't get her driver's license?
Sister Li said hurriedly, "When we servants go down the mountain, we usually take the cable car. However, our house is quiet and quite far from the cable car. Miss, there's no need to go that far. We have a driver who can take you down the mountain."
Ye Tianhui: "Oh, you have a few drivers at home, can you pick me up at any time?"
Sister Li explained, "Originally, we had eight drivers. But Grandpa said, 'Store enough to prepare for famine.' A driver's monthly salary wasn't bad, so there was no need to show off. So, we cut back on expenses and only kept five drivers. But that's not a big deal. Everyone usually drives their own car. Grandpa would keep one for when he needed one, but the others were available for everyone to use. If you need one, just let me know, and I'll talk to the driver and have them reserved for you."
When Ye Tianhui heard this, she felt that it seemed very troublesome. It meant that if she wanted to go out, she would have to use one of the five drivers in the company. She was afraid that the entire Ye family would know that she was going out. Therefore, in this wealthy family, learning to drive was actually the most basic survival skill.
She began to plan, and there were actually many things to do next. On the one hand, she had to adapt to this wealthy life, and accept whatever her family gave her, and get as much as she could. On the other hand, she had to complete three successful bets in the next inter-class competition and strive to get the old man's reward, which was the foundation for her to gain a foothold in this wealthy family in the future.
She also needs to learn to drive as soon as possible, otherwise it would be too conspicuous to call a driver every time she goes out.
Finally, you must get the money as soon as possible to buy Tengyunwu.
With this plan in mind, she went downstairs for another walk, looking at the living room, the dining room, and the kitchen. There was a large refrigerator in the dining room, a large refrigerator she had never seen before, which was filled with all kinds of fresh fruit drinks and cakes.
Seeing her coming over, Sister Li introduced her: "These are changed regularly. If Miss Tianhui has any preferred flavors, you can tell me."
Ye Tianhui took a look and was quite satisfied. She saw that there was a kind of cola inside, which she liked. The cool and refreshing taste was very special.
She took the ice cola, sat in front of the landing restaurant, and drank while enjoying the scenery.
She heard faint footsteps coming from upstairs. It sounded like Ye Wenyin was also at home, but it was obvious that she didn't want to see her and was hiding deliberately.
Let her be. It’s best not to let herself see anything that’s annoying. Be a little more conscious and avoid everything.
Otherwise, she is not that easy to talk to. The old man gave her face in front of the big family, but she is absolutely not kind to him in private.
Don't ask, the only thing she knew was that she saw Ye Wenyin was in a bad mood.
She slowly drank a sip of Coke, and felt relieved when she thought of Ye Wenyin's frightened and nervous look.
If Feng Suqin knew her daughter's current situation, she would probably be furious.
Of course, Ye Wenyin is not a good person either. She has no idea how many conspiracies she has plotted in private. Lin Jianquan was shocked, and she must have been behind it, not to mention the exclusion of herself.
How can I let him go easily now? I have to torture him slowly.
As she was thinking this, she saw a figure. It was Ye Lixuan returning.
After Ye Lixuan entered the room and saw her, he was silent for a moment, went to the bathroom first, washed up briefly, then walked over and sat opposite her.
Ye Tianhui: "Don't you have classes today?"
Ye Lixuan said calmly: "No."
Ye Tianhui smiled and said, "Then have some coffee. I'll pour you a cup."
She had just done some research and had already learned how to use the coffee machine.
Ye Lixuan looked at his daughter in front of him. She was wearing a simple shirt and trousers. She looked fresh and easy-going, with a smile between her eyebrows.
It seemed like she could enjoy everything comfortably at any time.
——Although he has an extremely bad temper, he always gives people a calm and comfortable feeling.
He sighed in his heart and said, "No need. I just want to ask, if you have any discomfort or need anything, you can tell me."
Ye Tianhui smiled and said, "There's nothing to get used to. As long as there's enough food, life will always be comfortable. As for if I need anything, the old man said he would give me a house in Causeway Bay. I want to go and see it, but I don't have a driver's license yet. I have to ask the driver to take me out tomorrow."
Ye Lixuan understood and said, "I'll take you there."
Ye Tianhui was a little surprised: "You, you don't go to work?"
Ye Lixuan: "You can send it over on the way."
Ye Tianhui naturally thought it was good.
Ye Lixuan then said, "I heard from the old man that you like horse racing?"
Ye Tianhui: "I wouldn't say I like it that much, I just think it can make money. I like anything that can make money."
Ye Lixuan was stunned for a moment, and then an indescribable expression appeared on his face.
Obviously, he was born into a wealthy family and never had to worry about money.
But his own daughter talks about money all the time.
After a moment of silence, he finally spoke: "I heard the agreement between you and the old man. What are you going to do?"
Ye Tianhui smiled and said, "I don't have any ideas yet. Let me take a look at the information about the recent inter-class competition first. I'm not sure about anything, so I can only take it one step at a time."
Ye Lixuan nodded and continued, "Don't feel any pressure. Besides, it will be the old man's 70th birthday soon, and your identity will be officially announced then. Before then, you probably have a lot of things to do."
Ye Tianhui: "For example?"
Ye Lixuan looked at his daughter in front of him: "It's a lot, you will have to be busy tomorrow."
************
Soon, Ye Tianhui knew what Ye Lixuan meant by "busy". That afternoon, some "consultants" suddenly came to the house and wanted to take her there to do image design and trim her hairstyle.
They held her there and tortured her for a long time, and even permed her hair.
When she heard about perming her hair, she was very unhappy. She didn't like having her hair permed into small curls. She still had the old idea in her mind that her hair and body were given by her parents, and she didn't want to damage them in vain.
Seeing this, the image consultant trimmed and blow-dried her hair, and finally made it into a black shawl.
Ye Tianhui stood up and took a look at it herself, and it seemed okay.
I took a closer look and thought it looked pretty good.
Anyway, at first glance, she at least looked like a lady from Hong Kong, not a grayish sweet potato that looked like it had been dug out of the soil—just as Gu Zhihan had said to slander him!
After finishing her hair, he began to customize her clothes. He took her to a high-end custom tailor shop and introduced her to it. "Every year, major brands send us their new product lists for the season for us to choose from. However, in addition to these brand new products, members of the Ye family also have their own custom clothes."
"If it's a serious suit or dress, I'll go to Paris, New York, Milan or Italy to have it custom-made, but for everyday clothes, I choose to have them custom-made here in Hong Kong. This shop has been open for over 30 years, and many well-known Hong Kong politicians and celebrities have had their clothes custom-made here."
Ye Tianhui naturally listened to everything and did whatever they said.
Although she had spent most of her life fighting outside, when she returned to Yanjing City and took off her armor, she also put on the fashionable women's clothing of Yanjing City. When she walked among the royal relatives, she looked like a lady from a noble family.
In addition to these, various subsequent procedures for buildings, equity and trusts need to be completed, and the procedures for learning to drive have also been completed. I have to learn as soon as possible and practice driving four times a week.
So Ye Tianhui ran around the whole day and had no time to rest. When she returned to her room at night, she lay on the bed and wished she could stay there forever.
She wasn't even this tired when she carried a sword and mounted a horse to fight!
**********
The next day, Ye Tianhui got up very early. She was going to take Ye Lixuan's car to go out. When she went downstairs, she found that Ye Wenyin and Ye Lixuan were both there. They were sitting at the dining table eating breakfast.
Ye Wenyin looked up at her and smiled, saying, "Tianhui, you're up now. Come and have breakfast. What do you like? If you like anything, you can ask Sister Li to make it for you."
She seemed quite friendly, unlike yesterday's frightened expression, and even spoke with the air of a hostess.
However, Ye Tianhui was too lazy to even be polite. What was the point of being hypocritical? So she ignored him and just sat down.
There's no need for a good start between her and Ye Wenyin; she's just like that.
The smile on Ye Wenyin's face froze a little.
Afterwards, she bit her lip, her eyes were a little moist, and she looked at Ye Lixuan for help, looking very pitiful.
Ye Lixuan's expression was calm, and he just said, "Sit down and eat."
Obviously, he turned a blind eye to Ye Wenyin's obvious act of complaining and chose to ignore it.
Ye Wenyin's expression became visibly different, but in front of Ye Lixuan, she managed to hold it back.
In fact, Ye Lixuan talked to her just last night.
Ye Lixuan said that he would still treat her as his adopted daughter and keep her under his name. When she gets married in the future, he would also fulfill his responsibilities as an elder.
But Ye Tianhui had suffered for so many years, and he felt sorry for her and wanted to make it up to her. He said that Ye Tianhui's personality was very sharp and he couldn't restrain her, so he asked her to be more tolerant in everything.
Ye Lixuan has always been elegant, kind, and of course, aloof. She has always thought so.
But now she suddenly understood that perhaps this was the blood relationship between family members, which she, an outsider, could not change.
Ye Lixuan, who is always strict and principled, is so unscrupulous and biased towards Ye Tianhui!
Just because she was her daughter?
Hadn't I called him daddy for so many years?
Besides, when he talked to me now, he only said that I had fulfilled my responsibilities as an elder, but not my responsibilities as a father. This is clearly different.
The grievance in Ye Wenyin's heart was like a broken dam, almost pouring out, but she finally held it back.
She had to hold it in.
Since he is so partial to Ye Tianhui, she must make him regret it and let him know who is the most useful daughter to the Ye family!
For a moment, the three of them ate in silence, each with their own thoughts.
At this moment, Ye Wenyin suddenly remembered something and glanced at Ye Tianhui: "Tianhui doesn't have a car yet, right? If you need it, let Tianhui drive my car first."
As soon as she said this, the scene fell silent for a few seconds.
Obviously Ye Tianhui didn't have a driver's license. She was kind enough to offer her a car, but Ye Tianhui didn't know how to drive at all.
In response to this, Ye Tianhui did not comment, as if she had not heard it, and stood up calmly.
Ye Lixuan said, "Tianhui doesn't have a driver's license yet. Wenyin, just drive your own car."
Ye Wenyin was surprised: "Really? You don't even have a driver's license?"
She suddenly realized, "That's right. Tianhui has never learned to drive, so she'll have to call a driver. How about I help call and ask them to reserve a car and a driver?"
Ye Lixuan: "No need."
He said calmly, "I have some free time today, so I'll just give her a ride."
As soon as these words came out, Ye Wenyin's gaze instantly fell on Ye Lixuan's face.
Ye Lixuan had no expression: "Tianhui, didn't you want to see the house your grandfather just gave you? Remember to take the key."
Ye Tianhui nodded: "Okay."
She felt Ye Wenyin's lost look, and said to Ye Lixuan with a smile: "I have the house key in my pocket, just go over there!"
Ye Lixuan: "Let's go."
Ye Wenyin looked at Ye Lixuan and then at Ye Tianhui, and suddenly found it ridiculous.
It's ridiculous.
Ye Lixuan actually treated this northern girl as a treasure, but one day he would find out that he was wrong.
She will marry into the Gu family and force Ye Lixuan to bow down and smile in front of her!
*********
This leaf garden is located in the high-end area halfway up the mountain. When the car drives out of the leaf garden, it will lead to the scenery of Taiping Mountain. Among the lush greenery, you can already see mottled red leaves.
Ye Tianhui turned her head to look out the window, looking at the scenery halfway up the mountain shrouded in thin morning mist.
The morning scenery in this area is naturally not something that ordinary people can easily see. Only those who live in this high-end area can see it when they go out in the morning.
Therefore, you should try to feast your eyes and enjoy the scenery of the rich.
Ye Lixuan, who was driving, suddenly said, "This is the leaf of the Liquidambar tree. It looks like a maple leaf at first glance, but it's not."
Ye Tianhui: “Oh?”
Ye Lixuan: "At this time of year, the maple leaves in Beijing's Xiangshan Hill are also turning red, right?"
Ye Tianhui: "Yeah, it's red. At first glance, they do look a bit similar, but we usually have to walk a long way to go to Xiangshan, and I haven't been there many times."
Ye Lixuan: "Then you live here now and can enjoy the scenery of the mountain every day."
Upon hearing this, Ye Tianhui glanced at Ye Lixuan.
In fact, when she got in the car just now, she remembered the diamond hairpin belonging to Ye Wenyin that she saw when she first took his car. It seemed that he often did this kind of thing to pick up and drop off his daughter?
He is actually a kind father?
Although it seems that he doesn't have much father-daughter affection for Ye Wenyin now, who knows.
Ye Lixuan felt her gaze: "What's wrong? What are you thinking about?"
Ye Tianhui smiled: "Nothing, I just feel that Daddy is very kind, I really didn't notice it before..."
This tone is quite sarcastic.
Ye Lixuan: "Whatever you want to say, just say it. Don't worry—"
He paused and said, "Anyway, I see that you are showing your true colors in front of me. There is no need to pretend."
Ye Tianhui: “…”
This was a very honest statement. After all, before the father and daughter met, they had already seen each other's worst side.
She looked at him with a smile: "Daddy, I just want to ask you, if Ye Wenyin and I fight, who will you help? Tell the truth!"
Ye Lixuan looked helpless: "If you two fight, can she beat you? I think from now on in this family, it will only be you bullying her, and there will be no reason for her to bully you."
When Ye Tianhui heard this, she felt unhappy.
Although this is true, who is he actually speaking for when he says this?
She snorted coldly, "So you want to protect her? Why don't you see who your own daughter is? You have to understand that being a good fighter doesn't mean you won't be bullied. Haven't I suffered enough in the past?"
She recalled the frustration she had felt before, when others were wearing riding clothes and she could only stand there and be yelled at.
That would be fine, but Ye Wenyin clearly wanted to drive him away.
If she hadn't forced me, and I hadn't been so desperate, why would I have to come to this wealthy family to flatter them?
It’s funny to think about it.
She taunted him, "I'm new here and don't know anything, yet they keep calling me 'Northern Girl' and even giving me their leftover snacks. You're raising your nanny's daughter, feeding her the best, and you expect her to pity me? Later, when she went to the horse ranch, she clearly knew who I was, but she pretended not to know. She asked me to serve her, to bring her tea and water. Even Gu Zhihan started ordering me around and mocking me, treating me like a nobody. Your own daughter is being treated like this, and you think you're so proud, don't you?"
Ye Lixuan said nothing.
Ye Tianhui continued, "Did I bully her? I just gave her a few cold looks. What? Am I wrong? She clearly took advantage of me. She wanted to harm me, prevent me from recognizing my relatives, and even humiliated me. Now she's just been given a few cold stares from me, and you're feeling wronged?"
"Besides, it was clearly her who provoked me this morning. Does she think I'm stupid? First she acted sensible and considerate in front of you, as if she were the master of this house, and then she deliberately mocked me for not having a driver's license. Can't you see what she's thinking? Or are you actually biased towards her? After all, you have a deep father-daughter relationship for more than ten years!"
As she was speaking, the sound of brakes was heard.
Ye Lixuan parked the car on the side of the road.
Ye Tianhui: “?”
Ye Lixuan turned his head to look at her in the passenger seat.
Against the sunlight, it was difficult to see his expression.
Ye Tianhui asked tentatively: "What? What... is wrong with you?"
I was driving well and suddenly stopped.
Ye Lixuan said: "If you have any dissatisfaction, you can tell me. I have plenty of time today and I can listen slowly."
Ye Tianhui looked at him and asked carefully: "Then what?"
Ye Lixuan: "I will do my best to make amends."
make up……
Ye Tianhui snorted and lightly frowned: "Don't say those hurtful words in the future. I will be grateful to you a thousand times. What can you do to make up for it?"
Ye Lixuan turned his head to look at her expressive eyes. He didn't know why, even though she was already a grown-up girl, he could actually imagine what she looked like when she was a child.
If she grew up with her parents and was spoiled, she would probably be very good at acting coquettish and very mischievous.
He said calmly, "Look at you. I just said one sentence, which is also an objective fact, and you contradicted me for a long time."
Ye Tianhui: "Isn't what I said an objective fact?"
Ye Lixuan admitted: "It's true, you are right, I apologize if what I said made you uncomfortable."
His good temper made Ye Tianhui lose her temper.
She is the type of person who responds to soft words and does not tolerate harsh treatment.
She had no choice but to say, "Forget it, let's not argue anymore. We are biological father and daughter, we should unite."
Ye Lixuan: "How to unite?"
Ye Tianhui: "Just listen to me, do whatever I tell you to do, and then we can be united."
Ye Lixuan: "..."
He paused with a subtle expression: "Shouldn't you listen to me? I'm the elder."
Ye Tianhui: "Didn't you say you felt guilty towards me and wanted to make it up to me? Why have you forgotten now and are you not keeping your word?"
Ye Lixuan sighed: "Okay, you have a point."
Ye Tianhui smiled and said, "Just admit it."
Ye Lixuan: "I do want to make it up to you, so if you have any requests now, you can tell me."
Ye Tianhui heard this and looked over: "Are you sure? Any request is acceptable?"
Ye Lixuan looked at her shining eyes and said slowly: "I will do my best within the scope of law and morality."
Haha, he spoke very strictly and immediately gave her a bunch of restrictions.
She smiled at him and said, "The last time you went to the horse farm, you were actually going to see Ye Wenyin off, right? But you met me on the way, so you showed your kindness and gave me a ride."
Ye Lixuan was silent for a moment, then nodded: "Yes."
Ye Tianhui: "Oh? Looks like I benefited from her. I should thank her?"
Ye Lixuan's expression was a little strange.
He pursed his lips and finally said, "I can't do anything about the past."
He also recalled how he had driven her away. She had actually guessed it at the time and wanted to talk to him about her background, but he didn't even have the patience to listen to her and had already formed a preconceived notion and misunderstood her.
Thinking about this matter, I feel guilty and regretful.
Ye Tianhui: "Alright, I can't bring up the past every day. How about this matter, she can drive anyway, she has a car, I don't have one, you can only give me a ride, not her, ever!"
Ye Lixuan: "..."
He felt that what she said was too childish, like a child protecting his food, and for a moment he looked a little helpless.
But he finally nodded: "Okay, that's no problem."
Anyway, he has been Ye Wenyin's father for eighteen years, and he has only picked her up and dropped her off two or three times. He will just avoid doing that in the future.
Ye Tianhui: "Okay, drive quickly, I'm still waiting to see my house."
Ye Lixuan started the car again: "If you get your driver's license as soon as possible, I will buy you a car."
Ye Tianhui: "Are cars expensive here?"
Ye Lixuan: "It's okay."
After all, he is the son of the Ye family, so he naturally has some things in his hands. A car is nothing to him.
Ye Tianhui: "How much did you pay for it?"
Ye Lixuan: "Whatever you want."
Ye Tianhui: "Then I want a good one, one that looks cool when I drive it, so that everyone can tell I'm rich!"
Ye Lixuan was silent for a moment, and a slight smile appeared on the corner of his lips: "Okay, buy the expensive one, the most expensive one, but you have to get a driver's license first, otherwise you won't be able to drive even the best car."
Ye Tianhui: "Driver's license...okay."
As he spoke, the car drove down the mountain and into the downtown area.
Ye Lixuan slowed down and looked sideways at Ye Tianhui: "Do you want me to go with you to see it?"
Ye Tianhui looked at the tall buildings here, and the thought that there was actually a house of her own here made her feel so happy that she almost overflowed.
She said quickly, "No need."
The answer was so straightforward that it was somewhat inhumane.
But she was happy just thinking about the house and couldn't wait.
Because of this happiness, his dissatisfaction with Ye Lixuan was reduced a little.
She turned her head and said to Ye Lixuan with a smile, "Daddy still has to go to class, I won't waste your time."
Seeing this, Ye Lixuan naturally understood that she was full of joy and anticipation for this house, and did not want such an unpopular father like him to stay there and affect her mood.
He didn't say anything at the moment, just nodded slightly: "You know my phone number, right?"
Ye Tianhui: "Yeah, I know."
Ye Lixuan: "Call me when you go back and I'll pick you up."
Ye Tianhui smiled and said, "Okay!"
As he said this, he got off the bus.
Ye Lixuan turned his head and looked at Ye Tianhui through the lowered car window. She was standing in the sun, her eyes and brows filled with joy, clear and pure to the extreme.
This is his daughter.
Even if you are happy for something as mundane as money or a house, that joy is as beautiful and open as the sunshine.
What's wrong with him? Is he partial to her because he knows she is his biological daughter?
To the point that even her shortcomings seem beautiful?
Ye Tianhui felt Ye Lixuan's gaze on her and raised her eyebrows in confusion: "Daddy?"
Ye Lixuan came back to his senses and said, "Nothing. By the way, here's what you need."
As he spoke, he handed her a white envelope.
Ye Tianhui took it curiously: "What?"
When she held it in her hand, she felt like there was a hard card inside.
This doesn't look like money.
Ye Lixuan: "I've opened a secondary card for you. There are a lot of shops around this house. You can go shopping and buy whatever you like."
oh?
Ye Lixuan looked at Ye Tianhui who was obviously not reacting and said, "This is an extra gift from me. It has nothing to do with what your family gave you. Just consider it as a small compensation for the fatherly love you lacked in your childhood."
Ye Tianhui laughed dumbly: "No need, actually I was just joking with you that day."
Ye Lixuan looked at her, and his usually calm and rational brown eyes showed warmth.
He whispered, "But I'm serious."
***********
Based on Ye Tianhui's superficial understanding of Hong Kong, Causeway Bay is the concentration of Hong Kong's commercial and entertainment venues. Walking on the streets here, you can see the surrounding high-rise buildings blocking the sunlight, and there are a dazzling array of colorful billboards. Walking on the streets, people become particularly small.
She checked the address and found the house, which was on a high floor. After taking the elevator up and opening the door with her key, her eyes lit up.
The house looks like it has been simply decorated. When you enter, there is the toilet door on the left and a built-in cabinet on the right where you can hang clothes and change shoes.
Walking inside, she saw a huge living room with floor-to-ceiling windows, from which she could overlook the Hong Kong River and Victoria Harbour. She looked down at the street, and the cars on the street became little beetles and the pedestrians became little ants. It was a wonderful experience.
She looked at each room again. In addition to the living room, there were three bedrooms. None of them were particularly big, but they were enough!
This house is naturally not as spacious as the Ye family's, but when she thinks that this is an asset that is completely registered under her name and belongs to her, she feels an irrepressible pleasure in her heart.
Belongs to you, belongs to you!
She even started thinking that she could renovate the house in the future. Naturally, one of the three bedrooms could be converted into a study, and another into a gym, where she could practice martial arts or something.
As for the living room, she can invite friends to her house, such as Jiang Lingfeng. He must have never seen such a nice house. When the time comes, she can ask him to come and bring his family to see it together. They can also cook in this house!
Lin Jianquan and Jessie are also welcome to come and have a look!
Ye Tianhui wanted to let everyone she knew see that she owned such a luxurious house.
She even studied the kitchen and toilet with great interest. It was obvious that no one had ever lived here, so there were only the most basic bathing and kitchen facilities. But it didn't matter. Anyway, they could meet the most basic living requirements. If she really wanted to move in, she could just buy some daily necessities.
But of course you have to buy good daily necessities. This decoration looks very luxurious and exquisite. Buying low-quality ones will not fit in and look particularly cheap.
Ye Tianhui looked at it from all angles for a long time and was extremely satisfied.
It’s great to be the daughter of the Ye family. She is given a house as soon as she gets married. She must roll up her sleeves and work hard to get more from that old man!
She looked for a long time until her stomach started to growl, so she reluctantly came out and planned to eat something first.
After going downstairs and onto the street, she took a look around. This place was indeed a flourishing one, with all the major brands and shopping malls selling everything. Both men and women were extremely fashionable, with big curly hair and heavy hairspray. Their clothes had big shoulder pads, miniskirts, and big platform shoes. The whole street was full of fashion!
Ye Tianhui touched the envelope in her bag.
Although the fact that Ye Lixuan gave her a card was enough to make her happy and surprised, her mind was on the new house just now and she had not had time to pay attention to it.
Now she opened it and saw a black plastic card in the envelope with some English BANK information written on it. There was also a note next to it with a few clear numbers written on it, which looked like a password.
She looked at the card and guessed that this was what Hong Kong people called a credit card.
In mainland China, everyone uses passbooks, which have printed information showing how much money is in them. But this small plastic card doesn't show the amount, so she wasn't sure if it would work.
But thinking about the gentle look in Ye Lixuan's eyes when he looked at me, since he said so, he would definitely not harm me, so it should be possible to use it, right?
She looked around and saw a bustling world. She decided to try to swipe some cheap ones to see if they worked. If not, she could at least pay with cash.
So she looked around and finally went to a small shop that seemed to sell small accessories, very delicate and fashionable accessories. The advertising sign was very small and could not be seen unless you looked carefully.
She intuitively felt that this store should be cheap.
She took the card over, picked out a hairpin and a small bundle of hair ties, and asked the owner if she could pay with a credit card. The owner knew from her accent that she was from the mainland.
She was a little surprised, but nodded: "Of course."
Ye Tianhui felt relieved and took out the black plastic card: "Swipe this."
When the shop owner saw this, he was a little surprised and looked at Ye Tianhui suspiciously.
Seeing her like that, Ye Tianhui felt a little uneasy: "You can't swipe, right?"
The shopkeeper asked carefully, "Is this your own card?"
Ye Tianhui was more cautious than her: "No...it's my dad's. He got me a secondary card. Can I use it?"
This father can't possibly cheat her, right?
Seeing her cautious look, the shop owner took the card, checked it again, and finally said, "This requires a password."
Ye Tianhui nodded quickly: "I know the password, my dad gave it to me!"
Seeing this, the owner didn't say anything, helped her swipe the card, and asked Ye Tianhui to enter the password.
In fact, Ye Tianhui was a little worried when entering the password.
Although she was fearless, it was embarrassing to make a fool of herself by holding a card that couldn't be used.
She was also a little worried that her father was playing tricks on her.
With a "beep", the machine slowly spit out a piece of paper with words printed on it. Ye Tianhui saw that it seemed that the swipe was successful?
The owner took out a note and asked her to sign it. Ye Tianhui took a look at it. It was all in English and she couldn't make out the name, but she could probably see the price, which was over 100 Hong Kong dollars.
