Chapter 36
At this moment, Gu Zhihan was thinking back to his childhood. He was actually very timid when he was young. He was afraid of flying, but if he wanted to go to Singapore or the UK, he had to fly.
Mommy said that he couldn’t let anyone know that he was afraid of flying, otherwise people would laugh at him.
He could only endure it.
But every time he flew on a plane, he felt like something was piercing his ears and brain, and he would lose all his hearing and feeling.
Now, she simply called him "Mr. Gu", and Gu Zhihan felt as if he was riding on a plane for the first time in his life.
However, what accompanied the huge roar was not fear, but anticipation and excitement.
He looked at her straight, holding his breath, waiting for her to continue.
Ye Tianhui just felt confused.
The way he looked at me, it seemed as if they had some deep hatred for each other. What was this?
Isn’t it just a handbag?
She was extremely amused, but her face remained calm. She simply said, "Enjoy your fun, Mr. Gu. I'll be leaving now."
After saying that, he walked past Gu Zhihan and went to the door of the villa.
Gu Zhihan stood there in a daze, unable to react for a moment.
He imagined that she would walk up to him, smile and chat with him, and he would definitely put on some pretense, but as long as she softened her stance a little, he would immediately forgive her, and then the two of them could talk and get to know each other better.
The result, is this?
She just left him and went into the house?
She actually ignored herself? ?
Gu Zhihan was stunned for a long time before finally reacting. He whispered, "Stop!"
Ye Tianhui was getting more and more confused. She stopped and looked at him with raised eyebrows: "What's wrong?"
At the same time, she held the gold handbag tighter.
I did buy this handbag on purpose, and it was indeed to make it impossible for Gu Jiayue to buy it, but it was also reasonable, legal and aboveboard, and I bought it with my own money.
If you have the guts, ask the store to make another one. If you have the guts, buy the store and don't let them sell it to her.
Now he ran to the door of his house, but he was glaring at him and shouting at him. What was this? Was he planning to rob him openly?
Ye Tianhui looked at Gu Zhihan coldly, thinking that if he dared to snatch it, she would beat him!
I wonder if I could teach him a lesson? I'm afraid he doesn't know what traditional Chinese martial arts are.
Gu Zhihan looked at Ye Tianhui, and seeing her strange and rejecting eyes, he felt sad and angry.
She actually looked at me like this? Didn't she know how to comfort me? Why did she look at me like this?
I have already decided to give her a way out. As a girl from the mainland, can't she be more humble?
He gritted his teeth and looked at Ye Tianhui: "Don't you want to explain? What exactly do you mean by doing this?"
Ye Tianhui was amused. She raised her hand and deliberately showed him the gold hollow handbag in her hand. Then she said confidently, "What's there to say? I like it, okay? Why can't I have it just because I like it?"
like?
Gu Zhihan's anger disappeared in an instant, and only two words echoed in his mind - "like".
He stared at Ye Tianhui: "Do you really like me? If you do, why do you treat me like this?"
Ye Tianhui was increasingly baffled. She looked at him in surprise, "How did I treat you? Mr. Gu, this is my home. I don't care who you're looking for. I was just politely greeting you. What's wrong? How did I offend you? What are you talking about?"
Gu Zhihan didn't understand why Ye Tianhui brought this up. His mind was a little confused, but he quickly grasped the key point - she specifically mentioned that he was here to find Ye Wenyin.
Are you jealous?
Gu Zhihan took a deep breath, and he put his hands in his trouser pockets with dignity, looked at her and said, "I came here to visit Mr. Ye, and I came specially to give him a calligraphy piece by my grandfather. I didn't come to visit anyone in particular. I'm sitting here, just looking at the scenery here-"
He wanted to distance himself from Ye Wenyin so that he could explain everything to Ye Tianhui.
Who knew that at this time, Ye Wenyin pushed open the door of the villa's living room and walked out.
She was holding a tray with freshly baked cakes on it, steaming and emitting a sweet aroma.
What Gu Zhihan was about to say suddenly stopped.
Ye Wenyin glanced at Ye Tianhui, and then her gaze shifted from Ye Tianhui to Gu Zhihan.
She blinked and asked in confusion, "Zhihan, are you guys chatting? Then, why don't you go into the living room and talk?"
Gu Zhihan clenched his hands in his trouser pockets in annoyance and said, "Just a few words."
Ye Wenyin bit her lip: "Then you guys talk, I'll go into the house first."
Ye Tianhui looked at this scene and felt more and more confused. Besides being confused, she also felt that she was in a compromising situation.
Why was he arguing with Gu Zhihan here? Just over a handbag? If this got out, it would be hilarious!
Besides, Ye Wenyin might have misunderstood and thought that I wanted to steal her fiancé?
Gu Zhihan was indeed good-looking. When she first saw the magazine cover, she also thought it was really handsome and pleasing to the eye.
The problem is that temperament——
It’s really hard to put it into words!
Even if she was blind, she would never be interested in something like this!
She smiled, glanced at Gu Zhihan, then looked at Ye Wenyin: "You two continue, I'm still busy, I'm going upstairs."
After saying that, he pushed the door open and walked into the house.
Gu Zhihan took a step forward, subconsciously wanting to chase after her, but Ye Wenyin was also walking forward. He suddenly bumped into her tray and heard her scream "Ouch".
Gu Zhihan supported her, but as he did so, the tray fell to the ground.
The exquisite porcelain shattered and the fragrant cakes rolled to the ground.
Gu Zhihan asked Ye Wenyin: "Are you okay? Are you hurt?"
Ye Wenyin squatted there, head lowered, and said nothing.
Gu Zhihan: "Wen Yin, what's wrong?"
We grew up together and have known each other since childhood, so it was natural that I was surprised to see her suddenly burst into tears.
Ye Wenyin lowered her head and remained silent.
Gu Zhihan was about to ask in detail, but he saw a tear falling, and it fell with a "plop" sound, and just like that, it dripped onto the white broken porcelain.
He hurriedly held her shoulders: "Wen Yin, what's wrong?"
Ye Wenyin raised her face slightly, and Gu Zhihan saw a pair of eyes filled with tears and lips that were bitten by teeth but were clearly trembling.
Gu Zhihan hurriedly asked, "Wen Yin...where is she hurt?"
Ye Wenyin sobbed and turned her face away: "No, I'm not hurt anywhere... I just feel uncomfortable."
Gu Zhihan: "What happened?"
Ye Wenyin sobbed and said, "The cake fell to the ground. I baked it for a long time and thought you would like it, so I wanted to give it to you."
Gu Zhihan finally understood. He sighed and comforted her, "It's nothing. Just don't eat it. Don't cry."
However, Ye Wenyin still couldn't stop crying.
************
After Ye Tianhui went upstairs, she closed the door immediately. After closing the door, she placed the small gold handbag on the shelf in the cloakroom. She felt happy looking at it and liked it very much.
After that, she went to wash her hands and change her clothes. She changed into a loose home dress and called the nanny, Sister Li, on the internal line to ask about dinner. She was told that dinner would be ready soon and would be served when her husband came back. If she was hungry, she would be served some appetizers first.
Ye Tianhui didn't want to go downstairs for fear of encountering him again. She hoped that Gu Zhihan would leave quickly, so she asked Sister Li to bring the food to her.
She walked to the window to see if Gu Zhihan had left. If not, when Ye Lixuan came back, would he have to stay for dinner?
When she looked out the window, she happened to see Gu Zhihan holding Ye Wenyin's fingers with a look of pity. It looked as if Ye Wenyin's fingers were injured?
She shook her head, sighed, and was about to close the curtains.
Who knew that at this moment, Gu Zhihan happened to look over and their eyes met through the glass.
She frowned, then simply lowered the blinds and ignored it.
Bad luck.
**********
That day, Old Master Ye went to the Galloping Racecourse, mainly to check on the situation of Black Rose. If he had free time, he might go to Happy Valley again to check the schedule of the inter-class competition there, and also to start the bet between him and Ye Tianhui.
Ye Tianhui was accompanying Grandpa Ye, and the other grandchildren naturally did not have this honor. Ye Wenjing and Ye Wenyin got on the RV at the back together. After getting in the car, Ye Wenjing looked at Ye Wenyin next to him.
But she was seen leaning slightly on the leather seat, looking out the window blankly, with a look of loss clearly on her face.
After all, this is his sister who he has grown up with, so he naturally feels distressed when he sees her.
When I looked forward through the car window, I saw that a motorhome in front had already started. The person who could get on that car must be Mr. Ye’s confidant and was spoiled by Mr. Ye.
In a big family like theirs, the subordinates usually look down on others and are very good at calculating those who are superior to others. Seeing that the old man dotes on Ye Tianhui, he naturally looks down on others. Everyone has been like this since childhood.
Ye Wenjing sighed and whispered to Ye Wenyin, "I heard that the mainland girl bought a gold handbag a few days ago. She snatched it from Jiayue, which really pissed Jiayue off."
Ye Wenyin knew this all along, but she still deliberately said, "A gold handbag? Why would you buy this for no reason? That's too much of a fuss! Jiayue must be furious to have her prized possession stolen."
Then she quickly said, "But it's nothing. I'll talk to Jiayue and comfort her so she doesn't get too angry."
Ye Wenjing was not willing to accept it: "Wen Yin, you are a kind person. Why should you pay for the trouble she caused?"
Ye Wenyin smiled bitterly. "Actually, after she came over these few days, I've always tried to please her and make her feel good, but she always looks at me with a bad face. Living under the same roof with me is very difficult for me, but there's nothing I can do. I think it's not easy for her either. She must have suffered a lot in the mainland. I owe her all of this. Even if I cut off my flesh and blood to give it to her, it wouldn't be too much, not to mention helping her maintain some dignity."
Ye Wenjing felt sorry for Ye Wenyin when he heard this, but he also felt that she was considerate and sensible: "Wenyin, you are really wronged. In fact, what does this have to do with you? You were also a baby back then. You didn't know anything. Why did she treat you so harshly?"
Ye Wenyin bit her lip and said helplessly, "Third brother, I feel much better when you say that. At least in this family, there are still people who can understand me and know that I am not just a cuckoo in the magpie's nest."
Ye Wenjing said hurriedly, "Wenyin, don't worry. No matter what happens, I will always treat you as my sister. We grew up together and have been brother and sister since childhood. Even if we are not blood relatives, so what? We grew up eating from the same pot, and no one can take that away."
He was quite disdainful when he mentioned this: "As for that mainland girl, she is nothing like us, vulgar and rough, knows nothing, can't even speak Cantonese or English well, has no knowledge, and only cares about coming to our house to make money. How can I recognize such a girl!"
Ye Wenyin sighed, "Third brother, there's no need to say that. It's not easy for her either. I see her at home, wanting to eat anything delicious she sees. I guess she must have been starving in the mainland and hadn't eaten anything good."
However, when Ye Wenjing heard this and thought about Ye Wenhui's poor look of "wanting to eat everything", he became more and more disdainful.
He naturally hated Ye Tianhui to the extreme, and then he looked sideways at Ye Wenyin. She lowered her neck, looking very patient and gentle, which made Ye Wenjing feel very sorry.
This is the sister I grew up with. Why does that mainland girl have the right to be so favored by the old man?
He looked at that mainland girl with disdain, thinking that she would bring shame to the Ye family, and he would not acknowledge that sister.
In a motorhome in front, Grandpa Ye looked at his granddaughter and was very satisfied.
After some care, the granddaughter's appearance and temperament have improved a lot, and she no longer looks like a backward country girl.
Of course, what made him even more satisfied was that although Ye Tianhui was slender and thin, there was a heroic and lively look between her eyebrows and eyes, which was something that other granddaughters in the family did not have.
Most of the other granddaughters and granddaughters were born and raised in Hong Kong. They have enjoyed luxury since childhood. Although they are proper ladies from famous families, he is usually very satisfied with them. However, compared with Ye Tianhui, they are less lively and energetic.
Besides, this granddaughter is really bold and reckless, as if she doesn't care about any rules. Her reckless courage is somewhat similar to his when he was young.
He leaned back slightly on the soft, high-end leather seat, and with a kind smile, he looked sideways at Ye Tianhui: "Tianhui, how have you been feeling these past few days? Are you adjusting well?"
Ye Tianhui smiled and said, "It's not bad. I didn't know anything before, but now my assistant is teaching me, and I've gradually learned some things. But I spent a lot of money on clothes and accessories."
The old man laughed out loud when he heard this: "Just buy whatever you like. You get some pocket money every month, so buy whatever you want. If it's not enough, just ask your dad and he'll buy it for you."
Ye Tianhui: "Okay, my dad also gave me a card."
The old man nodded repeatedly as he listened, then asked with a smile, "Do you have any favorite horses for this inter-class race?"
Ye Tianhui: "I have some preliminary ideas, but I still want to go to the racecourse to see the details before making a final decision."
The old man smiled and said, "Tianhui, do you have any complaints in your heart? Do you think I'm too harsh on you?"
Ye Tianhui smiled and said, "Grandpa, that's not the case. I understand your good intentions."
Old man: “Oh?”
Ye Tianhui: "I was born in the mainland and have never received a Hong Kong education, nor have I learned the etiquette of high society. I'm new here, and even though I'm a legitimate descendant of the Ye family, I'm afraid of being looked down upon. If Grandpa rashly entrusts me with such an important task, others may not accept it. Now that Grandpa is setting a test for me, it's killing two birds with one stone."
Old man: "Kill two birds with one stone?"
Ye Tianhui smiled at the old man and said, "Isn't that right? Grandpa wants to purchase a few horses with potential in Hong Kong before the official season. If I can predict the results of the inter-class races, I can convince everyone, and I can take the lead in purchasing and training the horses. Then, no one will object."
The old man smiled and said, "You seem careless, but you are very attentive. You are very good at guessing my thoughts."
Ye Tianhui joked, "After all, she is your granddaughter, right? This is the induction of blood!"
The old man laughed: "Well said!"
The grandfather and grandson were chatting and laughing for a while, but Ye Tianhui thought about the past. When she was a minister, trying to figure out the emperor's thoughts was a compulsory course.
Although she kept guessing wrong, she at least gained a lot of experience.
As they were talking, the Gu family's RV had already arrived at the racecourse in a grand manner, and Manager Hu came up to greet them first.
Manager Hu saw Ye Tianhui walking beside Mr. Ye at a glance. It was obvious that Mr. Ye valued her very much. He was both happy and worried for a moment. He was happy that Ye Tianhui was valued so much by Mr. Ye, but he was worried that now that Ye Tianhui had climbed up the social ladder, he was afraid it would be difficult to keep her at the horse farm.
He smiled and invited Mr. Ye to sit down, then respectfully handed over the detailed log report of Black Rose over the past few days.
Old Master Ye was looking through the diary and listening to Manager Hu's report. It seemed that Black Rose's condition had improved in the past few days, and the discomfort in the early stages of pregnancy seemed to have disappeared.
Manager Hu had almost finished his report, and his eyes would occasionally glance at Ye Tianhui, giving her hints with his eyes.
Ye Tianhui looked at him in confusion.
Manager Hu was helpless when he saw her ambiguity. He had no choice but to make it clear: "Tianhui, you have to understand the situation at our horse farm so that you can report it to Mr. Ye later."
He really had no idea what was going on and didn't know how the conversation between Ye Tianhui and Old Man Ye went, so he had been thinking about this matter for the past two days.
Ye Tianhui was surprised to hear this, but then she immediately understood. Could it be that Manager Hu didn't know her identity?
But think about it, the news was blocked before, just in case, it was not spread outside. Manager Hu said that the situation of Black Rose needed to be thoroughly investigated, so Manager Hu really didn't know either.
She blinked, trying to give Manager Hu a hint to stop talking.
But Manager Hu obviously didn't understand. He frowned, winked, and gave her hints.
She had no choice but to look away and ignore him.
When Manager Hu saw this, he felt a little disappointed.
This time, the Ye family purchased several famous horses from overseas, and these horses must be raised in their stables. This is no longer a matter of management costs, but a matter of reputation.
If they keep the horses here and then decide they are not suitable, and move them to another horse farm, they will lose a big customer like the Ye family, which will inevitably lead to a chain reaction and they may lose other customers.
Manager Hu was thinking that he couldn't let Mr. Ye take Ye Tianhui away directly. He had to go through the procedures of their horse farm, and he could offer Ye Tianhui a high salary.
While he was thinking about this, it happened that Mr. Ye took the diary and handed it to Ye Tianhui: "Tianhui, take a look?"
After he said that, Manager Hu was both happy and sad.
It seems that Ye Tianhui has a good relationship with the Ye family? But being too close is not a good thing for him.
Ye Tianhui listened, took the diary and opened it. She also wanted to see how Black Rose was doing in recent days. This was related to the next season and whether Black Rose could participate in this competition.
As she watched, she heard Manager Hu start talking to Mr. Ye, cautiously probing the issue and speaking politely and respectfully.
Ye Tianhui was helpless and hurried to stop Manager Hu, but who knew that Mr. Ye had already spoken: "Manager Hu, do you mean to let Tianhui continue to stay at the racecourse and let her take care of the family racehorses full-time for us?"
Manager Hu smiled broadly. "Yes, Tianhui is a highly trained technician. She's a very professional person. She will take care of all the horses for Mr. Ye and will report back to you on time. Of course, our stable staff will also be available to cooperate with Tianhui at any time."
He smiled at Ye Tianhui and said, "Tianhui, don't worry. We will have the best training opportunities in the future, and the treatment will definitely satisfy you."
Old Master Ye frowned as he listened to this. At first, he didn't understand what Manager Hu was talking about. Later, he realized that Manager Hu clearly didn't know that the person in front of him was his granddaughter of the Ye family.
Although he has always been a deep-minded person, he couldn't help but find it funny when he saw Manager Hu trying so hard to flatter Ye Tianhui to keep her. Besides feeling funny, he couldn't help but feel a little proud.
After all, my granddaughter, although she had a tragic fate and grew up alone in the mainland without receiving any teachings from her elders, she still grew up so well, bright and confident, neither arrogant nor humble, and had courage and knowledge.
He smiled and said, "Manager Hu, I understand what you mean. Tianhui is a capable person at your horse farm. You want to keep her here because you're afraid I'll poach her, right?"
Manager Hu felt embarrassed when his secret was exposed, but he still smiled and said, "Please forgive me, Mr. Ye."
Upon hearing this, Mr. Ye became even more delighted.
She is my own granddaughter. Even if she doesn’t have the identity of Miss Ye, people will look up to her wherever she goes!
His face flushed, and he looked at Manager Hu with a smile: "Tianhui's eye for horses is indeed good, she really has a way. Manager Hu, I understand your feelings, it's understandable, hahahaha!"
Manager Hu was stunned when he saw this scene. He didn't understand why Mr. Ye was so happy.
Doesn’t he intend to return Ye Tianhui to himself?
Ye Tianhui watched from the side and naturally understood what Old Man Ye was thinking.
As an old man, no matter how deep his thoughts are, he is still an old man.
Since he is an old man, he has the common problem of old people. He likes others to praise his children and grandchildren. He feels proud when his children and grandchildren are successful.
Suddenly I felt that Mr. Ye was not that deep after all, and he had a lovely side to him.
A group of people nearby were also there, watching this scene, and they all found it funny, but they were also not convinced. As for Ye Tianhui, had she ever seen horse racing in the mainland? There was no horse racing in the mainland, so how could she understand
Old Master Ye laughed heartily, feeling quite pleased with himself. He then said, "Manager Hu, let me make it clear to you. Forget paying Tianhui a high salary to look after our horses. Tianhui will only be able to help our family with work from now on."
When Manager Hu heard this, his heart skipped a beat. He thought, is this a living person gone?
Mr. Ye looked at Manager Hu's expression and said with a smile, "Do you think I'm trying to steal your people?"
Manager Hu hurriedly said, "Mr. Ye, that's impossible. I didn't mean that. In fact, it's a blessing for Tianhui to be able to go over and help Mr. Ye look after the horses."
Old Master Ye waved his hand and said with a laugh, "What's this about blessing or not? Let me make it clear to you, Tianhui, this is my granddaughter, my granddaughter! Isn't it only natural for my granddaughter to help us look after the horses? Do we still need your stable to pay her?"
granddaughter?
Manager Hu was stunned and wondered what was wrong with this old man. Why did he say such a thing?
Although you both have the surname Ye, she is from mainland China and can't even speak Cantonese fluently. How can she be your granddaughter?
Seeing that Manager Hu didn't understand, Ye Tianhui said, "Manager Hu, thank you for your care before. I have been away from home for many years for some reason, but now I have returned to my roots."
ah?
Manager Hu was surprised and looked at Mr. Ye in disbelief.
Old Master Ye nodded, his face full of pride as he said, "Manager Hu, this is my granddaughter. Actually, I should thank you. If it weren't for the Black Rose incident, we wouldn't be reunited so soon."
Manager Hu was obviously dumbfounded.
You have to know what a mainland girl means. She is poor, backward and unsophisticated. Originally, I could just easily arrange for Ye Tianhui to help me pick horses with her eyesight. But now she has become the daughter of the Ye family. This, this is different!
The identity is completely different!
He took a deep breath, quickly reacted, and immediately said with a flattering smile, "Congratulations, congratulations, great news!"
He looked at Ye Tianhui with a smile: "I was blind to the truth. I didn't realize that this was the daughter of the Ye family! As expected, the daughter of the Ye family is extraordinary!"
Mr. Ye was in a good mood and said with a smile, "My granddaughter has been away from home for many years. Now she has finally returned. This is also the blessing brought to me by this horse farm. Our horses will still be kept with you from now on. Manager Hu will take good care of them."
Manager Hu finally felt relieved after hearing this. He became even more enthusiastic and kept saying congratulations.
Ye Tianhui took a look at the Black Rose's physical examination and observation log, and thought it was good.
The old man was naturally satisfied, so he took Ye Tianhui, Ye Wenyin and others to see Black Rose.
When Mr. Ye looked at the black rose, he felt much better.
He turned his head and looked at the people around him, then asked, "Do you think Black Rose can participate in this year's competition?"
You should know that for this kind of annual official season competition, even if the racecourse owns many horses, it is impossible for all horses to participate in the competition. There are quota restrictions. The Jockey Club will make a comprehensive assessment based on the results over the years, the number and level of horses owned, and of course the charitable donation data for racehorses, and then give a quota.
The Ye family’s quota is four horses, which means that the Ye family can send out four horses.
Because the places are so rare, the opportunity is hard to come by, so you have to be careful when choosing the horses to race.
Ye Tianhui said, "Old man, although I can tell that Black Rose is pregnant and I know a bit about horses, I don't have any experience in whether a pregnant horse can compete. I still need to ask the professionals at the horse farm."
In fact, Ye Tianhui knew horses very well in her previous life, so she naturally knew these things. Horses are different from humans. Human babies cannot crawl after ten months of pregnancy, but foals know how to run after they are born. This is the difference between the gestation of animals and humans.
The mare's physical strength will basically not be affected in the first few months of pregnancy. For example, this is just like the first month of pregnancy of human females, who generally do not notice anything, and exercise will not have any impact on pregnancy.
However, Ye Tianhui was not familiar with the modern horse racing rules for mares.
Manager Hu felt a surge of pride when he heard Ye Tianhui's words. He immediately analyzed Black Rose's situation, "A mare's gestation period is eleven months. A foal gains over sixty percent of its weight in the last three months of pregnancy. This means that the foal only gains a small amount of weight in the first eight months. During the first five months of pregnancy, the mare's body doesn't undergo any significant changes."
The veterinarian nearby added, "Horse racing has been around for centuries, and we haven't heard of any cases of miscarriage or other injuries caused by pregnant mares competing. According to our current regulations, mares can compete before they are four months pregnant."
After listening to this, Mr. Ye felt relieved and asked the technician next to him, "We spent a lot of money to buy Black Rose at an auction. Now that she's pregnant, we must be cautious and absolutely guarantee her safety. Now that you say so, I'm relieved. But will her performance be affected by her pregnancy?"
The technicians looked at each other and said, "There's no definitive answer on this. There are opinions from all sides at the moment."
At that moment, everyone talked about what they knew. Everyone said all kinds of things. Some people thought that there were many pregnant mares that achieved impressive results, while others thought that the results of pregnant mares were not satisfactory.
Seeing this, Mr. Ye smiled and said, "I do have a way. This kind of thing is like a pony crossing a river. We have to try it out to see how it works."
Ye Tianhui understood after hearing this: "Grandpa, do you want Black Rose to try it herself?"
Mr. Ye nodded in approval, then asked Manager Hu, "Can you arrange a match for Black Rose? We'll see how it goes."
Manager Hu nodded: "Of course, even though she's pregnant, she still needs to do morning exercises and horseback riding every day. Otherwise, it will be bad for Black Rose's health. Now is the time to have a competition and see how Black Rose is doing before making a decision."
Mr. Ye then instructed Manager Hu to prepare as soon as possible and bring two good horses for a race.
Soon everything was ready, and Manager Hu also sent over the detailed data of several horses participating in the competition and distributed it to everyone.
Old Master Ye looked at the participating horses and saw that they were all high-quality horses from the ranch, and were no worse than Black Rose.
He flipped through the information, looked at the grandchildren present, and asked with a smile, "Guess whether Black Rose can win."
After Grandpa Ye said this, all the grandchildren present became excited.
You have to know that there were seven or eight grandchildren present, including Ye Wenyong, Ye Wenjing, Ye Wenyin and Ye Tianhui. Grandpa Ye asked everyone to guess. If they guessed incorrectly, they would not lose money, but they would lose face and appear incompetent.
There are many children in the family, and each of them must strive to show more in front of Mr. Ye. Only by doing this slowly and accumulating, can they please the old man and get greater benefits in the family property and other aspects in the future.
In a family like theirs, interests are everywhere and must be fought for every penny, and no concessions are allowed.
At that moment, everyone perked up. Some looked at the assistants next to them for help, some frowned in thought, and some recalled what Ye Wenyin had just said. Everyone reacted differently.
In the end, it was Ye Wenyong who spoke first: "Grandpa, in my opinion, the horses competing against Black Rose are quite strong. Even if Black Rose's pregnancy is not affected in any way, it will not be easy for her to win. I have analyzed it and Black Rose should have no problem finishing in the top three, but I am afraid that winning the first place is unlikely."
Old Master Ye nodded and looked at the others. The others didn’t have many thoughts and naturally agreed with Ye Wenyong.
At this time, Ye Tianhui said, "Grandpa, I actually think that Black Rose has a high chance of winning. If I were to place a bet, I would bet on Black Rose to win."
Mr. Ye raised his eyebrows: "Oh, why?"
Ye Wenyong, who was standing next to him, smiled slightly when he heard this: "Sister Tianhui is indeed thoughtful. If we place a bet, your chances of winning will definitely be dozens of times higher."
Ye Tianhui felt that these words contained a hint of mockery.
Ye Wenyong is now the general manager of Ye's Horse Service Company, which means he has been exposed to practical work. He was just exchanging glances with his assistant. The assistant is professional, so he must be confident now.
But she was not just saying this casually. She had just looked at Black Rose's condition and believed that Black Rose was not affected by the pregnancy at the moment. In fact, she was very motivated.
Ye Wenyin continued, "I think Brother Wen Yong is right. In fact, I've also done research on pregnant mares. I've looked at the performance of pregnant mares in the first three months of pregnancy over the past ten years."
When Old Master Ye heard this, he was surprised. He didn't expect her to be so meticulous. He immediately said, "Tell me about it."
Everyone around looked at Ye Wenyin, and Ye Wenyin's face naturally lit up. She then started talking to everyone with a gentle smile.
"I've compiled data from world-class horse racing over the past decade. Over the past seven years, I've counted all pregnant mares competing in flat races in Europe and the United States. A total of 443 mares competed in 1,542 races, an average of 3.5 starts per horse. Yet, the probability of a winner is only 8.23 percent. For mares over three years old, the probability of a winner is 9.35 percent. So, statistically speaking, competing while pregnant does have a certain negative impact on performance."
She smiled and said, "Grandpa, maybe someone will give us some cases of mares that still achieved good results after becoming pregnant, but in fact this is just an illusion, because those pregnant mares that did not achieve good results have disappeared from our sight, and only those that achieved good results after becoming pregnant will be mentioned."
Her analysis was very logical, and Old Master Ye nodded repeatedly: "That makes sense."
Even Manager Hu, who was standing nearby, praised her, saying, "Ms. Ye is truly a professional in horse racing research. She's already produced such a professional analysis. It's true that those who study in the UK are truly exceptional."
When the people around saw this, they remembered that Ye Tianhui supported Black Rose to win the first prize, and their expressions became a little subtle.
Old Master Ye also remembered. He looked at Ye Tianhui with a smile: "Tianhui, what do you think? Have you changed your mind now?"
