Chapter 38
Ye Tianhui knew that no one was optimistic about Life Legend, but she made this judgment after careful research. She not only studied the horses in the various inter-class races, but also the jockeys' past performances and even the participants in the previous and subsequent inter-class races. After comprehensively assessing various situations, she chose this seemingly insignificant inter-class race to bet on, and bet on this two-year-old colt.
There are two reasons.
The first is harmony among people. Although the trainer and jockey of the little stallion have not achieved any results so far, they were once students of the famous American trainer Kane Greenberg. The horses trained by Kane Greenberg have achieved very good results in the US Championships several times.
Therefore, during the training process, the trainer must have consulted his mentor, Kane Greenberg, and learned a lot of lessons.
The second is the horse itself. The father of this horse is the British stallion White Caviar, and the mother is the Argentinian stallion Chibola. Both of his parents have performed well in the arena. The mother even competed in Ascot at the age of two and repeatedly showed her strength in the group stage.
The third factor was timing. She had carefully studied the other eight horses in this inter-class race and had tabulated their participation procedures. Four of the horses would have to give way to the two-year-old colt, three would participate in a speed race and an obstacle course, and the other two horses would perform mediocrely and would not pose a threat to the two-year-old colt.
Now that the open season is approaching, there are several inter-class races at the racecourse almost every day. She was able to pick this one out of so many inter-class races to bet on, which must have been a result of her careful consideration and comprehensive consideration of various factors. According to her own deduction, the possibility of this little stallion winning the first place is almost over 90%.
Of course, she couldn't say these things easily. No matter what they thought, she just had to wait and see the results.
At that moment, she was too lazy to say anything to her peers in the Ye family. She stood up and found the manager of the horse farm. She wanted to talk to him about the issue of Teng Yunwu again. This time, her identity was different, so the manager of the horse farm was naturally quite polite to her and revealed more information to her that he would not easily mention to others.
The horse owner who owns Teng Yunwu is a mysterious wealthy businessman. He now has six or seven racehorses in his horse farm, and Teng Yunwu is just the most inconspicuous one among them.
As Ye Tianhui listened, hope naturally arose in her heart, and she sincerely expressed her willingness to buy Tengyunwu again.
She said sincerely, "If the other party is willing to give it up, I can let them offer whatever they want."
In fact, this is not the way to do business in general. She was exposing her desire to buy Tengyunwu too much. But she also understood that she had asked twice and her purpose was obvious, so there was no need to hide it.
Moreover, since the other party is a wealthy businessman, seems to have considerable wealth, and has seven or eight racehorses, Teng Yunwu is quite inconspicuous among his horses, so perhaps he would be willing to sell it.
However, the manager of the horse farm was helpless: "Ms. Ye, I'm afraid it will be difficult for the other party to agree to transfer Tengyunwu."
Ye Tianhui naturally refused to give up easily. She used her eloquence and persuaded him to contact the Malaysian tycoon again.
The manager of the horse farm had no choice but to say that he would try to contact the other party.
Ye Tianhui didn't leave, but waited there to see what the outcome would be.
The racing manager had no choice but to go back to the office and try to make a phone call.
Ye Tianhui was waiting in the reception room outside.
About ten minutes later, the manager of the horse farm came out. He looked helpless and said, "Ms. Ye, fortunately, the other party has returned from the UK. I contacted him and spoke on the phone, but he made it clear that he would not sell Tengyunwu."
Ye Tianhui: "Did he say why?"
The racing manager said, "No, he just politely declined. I hope you understand. I can't ask any further questions. It would be a bit unreasonable."
Ye Tianhui had nothing to say.
Obviously, the other party is from a very prominent background. In fact, if he can foster several horses at this horse farm at once, then he must not be an ordinary person. He will not sell his horses for a few dollars. There is no need for that at all.
Now, she has no way to convince the other party face to face because of the phone and the messenger. If she wastes more time talking, it may only make the other party more disgusted.
She sighed and said nothing more, thinking about going over to see the rising clouds and mist.
The manager of the horse farm said hurriedly: "That's fine, I will arrange for staff to accompany you there."
After thanking them, Ye Tianhui went to the stable accompanied by the staff of the stable.
As she passed the green lawn and looked at the rows of stables in the distance, she couldn't help but recall the first time she came here.
She had sneaked in at that time, fearing that her identity would be discovered. Gu Zhihan scolded her with disdain, while Ye Wenyin was kind to her. In the eyes of others, she was just a poor mainland girl who came to make a living.
Now that I'm part of the Ye family, everything is different. Even if I go to see Teng Yunwu, there will be someone to accompany me and I can go there openly.
When I came to the stable again, it was still as quiet as usual. The horses lowered their heads peacefully, occasionally shaking their tails. The air was filled with the scent of hay, which gave me a warm and rich feeling.
Through the wooden lattice window of the stable, Ye Tianhui looked at the horse whose name in this life was Teng Yunwu.
On its left is a bay Arabian horse with shiny fur, and on its right is a tall and strong black British purebred. Both the left and the right look agile and well-proportioned, and are full of the beauty and strength of a horse.
Teng Yunwu, who was sandwiched between the two, looked really woeful. He was a little thin and listless, and even his eyes seemed to be filled with laziness and indifference.
Even the movement of lowering its head to eat grass was very slow.
Ye Tianhui watched it eating grass. It first used its nose to dig in the fluffy hay, and after a lot of picking and choosing, it finally picked up a handful of grass.
——This made Ye Tianhui feel like a person trying to pick out a piece of pork from the fish-flavored pork shreds.
After the horse picked it up, it held it in its mouth and chewed it slowly.
Its cheeks moved while it chewed, and the whole movement was very slow, but it looked very enjoyable. It even closed its eyes slightly in comfort, as if it was enjoying the supreme delicacy.
Ye Tianhui looked at Teng Yunwu through the window lattice, and she confirmed once again that this was her Chi Yan.
In order to please the saint, the king of Dayuan carefully selected a group of top-quality horses from among the good horses of Dayuan. After that, he traveled thousands of miles through the countries of the Western Regions and finally arrived at Yanjing, the capital of Dazhao, and presented them to the saint.
Afterwards, the imperial stables of the imperial court carefully selected another group of horses, which were praised by the saints as celestial horses.
Her red goose was the most outstanding among the celestial horses and was given to her by a saint, thus forming a bond that lasted for the next three years.
The red geese had accompanied her to listen to their caws in the vast sea and sky, to walk through the lush green mountains amidst the green grass and bright sun, and to watch and listen to the sound of the waves of the Yellow River at the foot of the great green mountains.
In the end, he accompanied her through the disaster in her life and sacrificed his last piece of flesh and blood.
When Ye Tianhui thought of these past events, she finally understood that although everything in the past was gone, she had never forgotten it. Although she had been reincarnated as a human, she was still the female general who died with her eyes open in her bones.
How could she be willing?
It’s a pity that that distant dynasty has long since turned to ashes, and there is no trace of it in history books.
Where can she go to restore order and turn the tide?
She looked at the reincarnated Chi Yan for a long time, and finally walked forward.
She reached out her hand and tentatively touched Teng Yunwu.
At this time, Teng Yunwu raised his eyes from the grass and looked at her.
She didn’t know if it was her illusion, but she felt that Teng Yunwu knew her.
It’s not the familiarity with the master that one felt in the previous life, but rather a vague familiarity in this life.
It seems that this is a horse with a very good memory. It remembers that it came to see it last time.
Ye Tianhui smiled: "The saint said you are a Pegasus. You are indeed extraordinary. You have such a good memory."
She remembered that when she was a child, she picked up some old books while picking up trash. The yellowed storybook contained the story of the Little Mermaid.
The story says that only humans can possess immortal souls.
Ye Tianhui stroked the horse and said, "You see, you also have a soul that can be reincarnated, so we can meet again by chance."
The rising cloud tilted its head and looked at her curiously.
After looking for a while, he finally lowered his head and continued to eat grass.
Ye Tianhui saw a feeding manual and a record sheet next to it. She picked it up and saw that it was recorded by the stable staff. It was Teng Yunwu's feeding and training situation, including its results in the last three inter-class competitions.
As expected, its performance was still poor, and it even came in last place once.
Ye Tianhui sighed: "Look at you, you came in last, but that's a good thing. Your current master might give up on you one day, and then he'll sell you to me. Let me tell you, I used to be a thief who climbed over the wall in a hurry, but now my identity is different. I'm the daughter of the Ye family, and I'm rich--"
Having said that, she thought about it and felt that her pocket money probably wouldn't be enough to buy Tengyunwu, but it didn't matter, she could save some money or ask Ye Lixuan to lend her some money.
So she continued, "Anyway, you don't have to worry about the money. I will definitely find a way to buy you sooner or later. Then I will support you. It doesn't matter if you are lazy and eat a lot. If you don't want to participate, then don't participate. We can just lie down every day."
It was not known whether Teng Yunwu understood what she said, but it rubbed its head on Ye Tianhui's arm very docilely.
Ye Tianhui smiled and said, "If your master doesn't want to give you up, it doesn't matter. I will come to see you often. If he dares to abuse you, I will take care of it for you. From now on, I will be your family!"
Teng Yunwu was obviously a little fond of her, and it made a humming sound through its nose. Ye Tianhui then spoke to it in a low voice, not caring whether it understood or not. She just talked to it first to build up its relationship with her.
As she said this, Ye Tianhui felt a gaze on her.
She turned around and saw Ye Lixuan standing outside the door.
Ye Lixuan was wearing a well-tailored suit today, paired with a spotless white cotton shirt and a blue tie. He looked intellectual and elegant, yet a bit cold and aloof.
He is a very strange person.
When he appeared alone, he was very eye-catching, with the aloof and somewhat aloof air of a Wei and Jin scholar, timeless and handsome. But when he appeared at the Ye family, he was like a chameleon, hiding among them, seemingly not letting anyone notice his presence.
It took Ye Tianhui a moment to recall that he had also attended the Ye family's horse racing meeting.
He might not have followed the old man back, but came to find me when he heard the manager of the horse farm mentioned that I was coming here.
She asked, "Why is Daddy here?"
Ye Lixuan then walked in and said, "I thought you didn't have a car, so I'll take you back later."
Ye Tianhui: "I wanted to see this horse, so I came here. I should have told you earlier."
Ye Lixuan nodded slightly, and stood in front of the manger with Ye Tianhui, watching Teng Yunwu.
He looked at it for a while before asking, "Do you like this horse?"
Ye Tianhui: "I like it. I want to buy it, but the owner won't let me go."
Ye Lixuan: "Oh, is there something special about this horse? I don't know how to judge a horse, so I can't see anything special about it."
Ye Tianhui smiled: "It's not outstanding, nor is it anything special, but when I saw it, I fell in love with it at first sight."
Ye Lixuan looked at the horse and he also realized that something was wrong with it. Unlike other horses that were full of energy, it looked very slack, as if someone kicked it, but it would still look at it blankly without any reaction.
Afterwards, he heard Ye Tianhui say, "The one you like doesn't necessarily have to be the best."
Ye Lixuan was silent for a moment, then nodded in agreement: "Yes, liking someone is an emotion in itself. It doesn't require any rationality or reason."
Ye Tianhui tilted her head and looked at Ye Lixuan: "Why does this sound so philosophical? Daddy, you obviously studied physics!"
Ye Lixuan also smiled. He seemed to smile very rarely, but when he smiled, his eyes were surprisingly warm, and this warmth broke his original indifference.
He smiled and said, "We who study physics will eventually turn to philosophy after a long time. Different paths lead to the same destination."
Ye Tianhui was curious: "Are there any similarities between physics and philosophy?"
Ye Lixuan: "Have you studied physics?"
Ye Tianhui nodded: "Yes, small ball sports, electromagnetic circuits and so on, anyway, that's all, I'm just average at it."
Ye Lixuan smiled and said, "In fact, physics and philosophy both explore the principles of matter. Macroscopic existence has its own macroscopic principles of matter, and microscopic existence has its own microscopic principles of matter. Consciousness itself is a kind of material existence without rest mass."
He smiled at her and said, "So, broadly speaking, physics and philosophy are essentially one and the same."
Ye Tianhui thought for a moment and said, "I didn't understand it, but I think it makes sense."
So dad is dad, just different from her.
She didn't want to think about these profound principles when she was reincarnated as a human being. It gave her a headache just listening to them.
Ye Lixuan smiled.
Ye Tianhui: "Let's go, I've seen enough horses."
Ye Lixuan nodded, and Ye Tianhui said goodbye to Teng Yunwu, promising to come back to see it, and then left.
Perhaps because she was in a particularly good mood today, or perhaps because of the card Ye Lixuan gave her, Ye Tianhui had a better impression of Ye Lixuan and started talking more.
Ye Tianhui: "By the way, there is one more important thing I have to do when I go back later."
Ye Lixuan: "Oh, what?"
Ye Tianhui: "Looking for a horse racing betting station, I want to place a bet."
Ye Lixuan was puzzled.
Ye Tianhui: "I've already bet on Life Legend, so of course I have to take this opportunity to place a bet. This way, I can gain a reputation with the old man and make money outside. Isn't that wonderful?"
Ye Lixuan raised his eyebrows: "Are you so sure you can win?"
Ye Tianhui: "Of course!"
Ye Lixuan: "Then how much do you plan to bet?"
Ye Tianhui calculated her monthly allowance and available funds, and after considering other expenses, she finally said, "30,000 Hong Kong dollars."
Thirty thousand Hong Kong dollars is naturally a considerable amount of money.
The salary of an ordinary worker is about 2,000 Hong Kong dollars, and 30,000 Hong Kong dollars is equivalent to a worker's salary for 15 months.
But for the Ye family, this is really nothing.
A little gambling for fun.
Ye Lixuan thought for a moment and said, "Okay, I'll go with you, and by the way—"
Ye Tianhui: "What?"
Ye Lixuan said, "I just received this month's salary, so I'm going to make a bet and try to take advantage of your luck."
Ye Tianhui:? ?
**********
Not far away, Ye Wenyin stared at the father and daughter in a daze, and was unwilling to move forward for a moment.
She was about to leave, but her car broke down and her cousins were also leaving. They wanted to take her back, but she suddenly thought of her dad. Seeing that he had not left yet, she wanted to see him, so she refused.
She was curious and came back to the stable, only to see this scene.
Under the warm sunshine, on the white gravel road among the green lawn, the father who was always elegant and cold was now talking and laughing with Ye Tianhui, and there was even a hint of intimacy in his expression.
I don’t know what Daddy said, but Ye Tianhui actually laughed out loud, and laughed very happily.
This was something she had never experienced before.
So, even though Daddy doesn't know that she is not his biological daughter, he still doesn't like her?
Why?
She is so hardworking and outstanding, so why does Ye Tianhui get all the love from Ye Lixuan as soon as she arrives?
Seeing the two people coming over, Ye Wenyin bit her lip, turned around, and went to the parking lot by herself.
When I walked to the parking lot, I saw Ye Lizhen.
Ye Lizhen, dressed in a suit and tie, was waiting there quietly with two bodyguards and a secretary beside him.
Ye Lizhen and Ye Lixuan have very different temperaments.
Ye Lixuan is only thirty-eight years old, looks very young, and has the intelligence and aloofness of a scholar.
Ye Lizhen is forty-five years old. Although he looks only six or seven years older than his wife, he looks very much his age and has the business shrewdness of a mature man.
Ye Wenyin narrowed her eyes slightly and walked forward.
Ye Lizhen didn't expect that Ye Wenyin hadn't left yet. He was a little surprised and asked with a smile, "Why hasn't Wenyin left yet?"
Ye Wenyin pursed her lips and smiled, looking up at Ye Lizhen: "Second Uncle, my dad and the others have left, and my car has broken down. Can I take your car?"
Ye Lizhen was a little surprised. He looked at Ye Wenyin's smile.
The girl's smile is soft and beautiful, with a hint of dependence.
He smiled and said, "Of course, get in the car."
*********
The next day was Saturday, and Ye Tianhui went to Mr. Ye’s main house.
Mr. Ye’s tea room is located in a floor-to-ceiling glass room facing the villa garden. It is elegantly decorated and unique. One can enjoy the winter snow and spring scenery in the garden, while also having air conditioning and televisions and other modern amenities. It can be said to combine modern conveniences with romance.
According to Ye Tianhui's observation, Grandpa Ye likes this glass house. If the Ye family wants to come here to listen to lectures or attend family meetings, they all come here.
At this time, the TV was already on. At ten o'clock, the inter-class competition that Ye Tianhui bet on was about to begin.
Today is Saturday and no one has to go to work. Ye Lizhen, Ye Lixuan and other important figures of the Ye family have arrived one after another.
Ye Wenyin, Ye Wenjing and others also came over and stood quietly by the side. Only Ye Tianhui was called by the old man to sit next to her.
At this time, Mrs. Tan came over with two Filipino maids and brought up tea sets.
The old man turned his head and asked Ye Tianhui: "What kind of tea does Tianhui like to drink?"
Ye Tianhui knew it at a glance and said, "Grandpa likes to drink scented tea, right?"
The old man laughed when he heard it: "Yes, Tianhui has good eyesight, I love drinking scented tea!"
The so-called scented tea is actually jasmine tea. In the eyes of serious southern tea lovers, this is tantamount to losing the original flavor, but old Beijingers love it. On the contrary, those genuine good teas from the south are not popular. It is said that when Emperor Xuantong left the palace, the Forbidden City Cleanup Committee sold a batch of remaining materials at Shenwu Gate. The high-quality Yunnan Pu'er tea in it was sold at a lower price than the ordinary jasmine scented tea on the market. When the Guangdong people found out later, they were heartbroken.
Ye Tianhui smiled and said, "This jasmine tea has a rich flavor and a fresh floral fragrance. It's naturally incomparable to other varieties. I remember reading a poem by Wang Zhenzeng from Fuzhou when I was studying. He mentioned that the fragrant buds are dripping with dew, and the fragrance is lingering. His delicate hands have measured the pearls, and he still remembers the ice tray where they were stored. It was referring to the jasmine tea."
The old man laughed and said, "Yes, yes, you are so young, but you know all this!"
At that moment, he was very impressed with Ye Tianhui, and asked Mrs. Tan to pour tea for Ye Tianhui and taste it together.
Ye Tianhui listened and naturally understood. If it weren't for her experience in her previous life, she would never have known how to taste tea.
Tea tasting is a leisurely activity, a way to savor life in a state of affluence. She has never had enough to eat in this life, so how could she know how to taste tea and win the old man's praise.
This is actually a bit ironic.
While thinking this, Mrs. Tan was already half-kneeling in front of Ye Tianhui to pour tea, very respectfully.
Ye Tianhui just glanced at him indifferently. This old servant who had been in the family for many years would probably have two different faces in front of the person in power and in front of an ordinary lady, but she didn't bother to care about it for the time being.
While sipping tea, the inter-class competition began. Everyone looked at the TV screen. The commentator began to introduce today's horse races. Several horses were warming up. Through the camera, you can see the horse Life Legend that Ye Tianhui had bet on. It can be seen that this is indeed a very strong little stallion with well-developed muscles and looks ambitious and eager to try.
Old Master Ye did not hold out hope at first, but after seeing this scene, he began to have some hope.
Soon the race began. As soon as a bell rang, several horses rushed out of the gate in an instant. With the thumping of their hooves, the horses were galloping side by side with almost no distinction between the front and the back.
The sound of horse hooves rang out in the living room, and everyone stared at the TV screen with tense expressions.
No matter what, horse racing always gets everyone's attention, not to mention that this seemingly insignificant horse race is also related to the future distribution of power and resources of the Ye family.
Ye Tianhui looked at the picture on the screen. The Life Legend she had her eyes on was not as strong as she had imagined. It rushed forward with all its might, and its hind legs almost stepped on the belly strap. Finally, it was half a horse's head ahead of the other horses around it.
The commentator's voice became excited: "This is our two-year-old colt, Life Legend, and he's ahead!"
The old man patted the armrest of the sofa and said excitedly: "This horse is so capable!"
As soon as this sound came out, it was like a hammer hitting Ye Lizhen's heart.
The reason why this horse is capable is that Ye Tianhui has good vision. If Ye Tianhui has good vision, she will be favored by the old man even more.
His eyes were fixed on the horse. He hoped that the horse would fall, that the horse would have an accident, that the horse would be unlucky!
Other horses should hurry up and catch up and overtake it!
Ye Wenyin was also watching with bated breath, but she still had hope in her heart.
Now Life Legend is in the outer circle. If it wants to overtake other horses, it must change lanes to the inner circle, otherwise its advantage will be gone in the next two turns!
However, on this kind of racetrack where a slight difference can make a huge difference, it is not easy to overtake other horses' lanes. How can other horses possibly give way when they are only half a head ahead!
The others naturally understood this as well, and they all kept their eyes locked on the screen, watching what was happening next.
But the two-year-old stallion quickened its pace, using all the strength of its young body to rush forward. In this gallop, it surpassed the noses and necks of other horses. Later, it even surpassed the stomachs of other horses. Finally, it surpassed almost half of the horse's body!
Ye Wenjing clenched his fists and couldn't help but roar: "Come on, come on!!"
But after shouting, he suddenly realized that he was not at the racecourse, but in the living room, and he suddenly felt embarrassed.
He was just about to apologize when the other young cousins couldn't help but yell, "Run!"
The unusually quiet living room suddenly became lively, and even the old man said in a hoarse voice: "Good job, run!!"
Ye Lizhen looked at the scene in front of him with a grim face. Are these people hoping that he will lose?
The most infuriating thing is that the person shouting "Come on!" is actually his own son!
Is he stupid? He just hopes Ye Tianhui can win?
He was secretly annoyed when suddenly he heard a cheer from the living room: "Oh my God, it really works!"
Ye Lizhen was slightly surprised and looked over quickly.
When I saw it, I was also shocked.
This two-year-old stallion was really fearless. When he had surpassed the opponent by more than half a horse's length, he actually wanted to occupy the inner circle!
How is this possible!
It's so cruel!
The commentator on the scene also became nervous and began to explain the situation to the audience.
"Is this rider trying to kill himself?"
"This horse is disobedient and crazy! It's out of control!"
Ye Tianhui also noticed that this horse was stubborn and undisciplined and wanted to occupy the runway in advance.
This is very dangerous!
The deafening roar of the audience came from the TV screen, and the commentator's voice trembled. It was obvious that everything seemed to be out of control.
People saw that Life Legend's rider straightened his back and pressed his body against Life Legend's mane. He had no control over the horse and could only cooperate.
Then, everyone saw the rider pull the left rein, and then Life Legend leaped into the air, the horse neighing, hooves flying, and the horse leaped forward with huge momentum.
In mid-air, his body was agile and strong, and every muscle showed his strength.
Shock swept through the audience, and roars came like huge waves!
Who would have thought that a mere five-horse race would produce such exciting scenes!
Everyone in the Ye family widened their eyes and held their breath. No one could make a sound.
Then in a moment, everyone saw that the horse landed in the shock of speed and power, and landed steadily on the track. At the same time, with the help of its previous inertia, it miraculously occupied the inner circle of the track.
It worked!
The commentator roared, "It actually succeeded! It took over the inner track and gained an unprecedented advantage!"
Ye Tianhui looked at the scene in front of her and knew that she had made the right bet this time.
This horse already has an advantage of more than half a horse's length, and now it has aggressively and domineeringly occupied the inner circle of the other horses, which means that it will have an incomparable advantage in the next turn of the track.
No horse could come close to it anymore.
Sure enough, everything went smoothly afterwards, and with almost no suspense, Life Legend won the first place.
There was thunderous applause at the scene, and many people began to cheer Life Legend's name. Obviously, this two-year-old colt won the first battle. He won honor for himself and also won future opportunities for himself.
Old Master Ye was very happy: "Tianhui really has a unique vision. Tianhui, tell me, how did you choose this horse?"
Everyone around looked at Ye Tianhui.
Ye Tianhui then told Old Man Ye about her analysis. Of course, she concealed some information. She didn't want to reveal all her key information. Anyway, as long as she could convince everyone, that was all she needed.
After she said this, Old Master Ye nodded and praised: "Excellent, excellent, no wonder you were able to predict the outcome. According to Sun Tzu's Art of War, you have figured out the right time, place, and people!"
Ye Wenyong smiled at the side: "Tianhui is so amazing, her eyesight is really good."
The young men in the family were all amazed for a moment. Ye Wenbin next to him suddenly said with regret: "That was also a guess. If I had known earlier, I should have asked you and bought some lottery tickets as you said. Wouldn't I have made a fortune -"
He suddenly stopped talking in the middle of his words and didn't want to continue.
The scene suddenly became quiet, and he looked at Mr. Ye with some guilt.
Fortunately, Mr. Ye was in a good mood and didn't care. He even laughed and said, "Yes, Tianhui, give us some tips!"
Ye Tianhui listened and laughed, "It's not that easy. I've collected countless information and screened countless inter-class competitions before picking out this one I'm sure of. It's fine to just guess, but if I give out tips, I'll quickly ruin my reputation."
But this time she bought it herself. She had already looked at the odds and found that they were 1:3.5, which meant that she made about 70,000 to 80,000 Hong Kong dollars!
Although she married into the Ye family and had a professor father who was quite nice to her, it seemed that she would not be short of money at the moment, but of course more money was better. She wanted to save more money, so that maybe one day the Malaysian tycoon would be willing to sell Teng Yunwu, and she could buy it back.
Otherwise, it would be difficult for her to buy Tengyunwu with the pocket money she had now.
She remembered that Ye Lixuan had also placed a bet, and it seemed that he had bet 10,000 yuan, so she glanced over, and Ye Lixuan happened to look at her as well.
She raised her eyebrows proudly.
Ye Lixuan paused for a moment, a slight smile in his eyes, but he looked away.
Ye Wenyin, who was standing next to him, saw this scene and her face turned unhappy.
She felt suffocated ever since that horse called Life Legend took first place.
At this moment, she felt that she had reached the most embarrassing peak in her life.
She worked so hard and was so outstanding since she was a child, but what did she get? Ye Tianhui came, and this mainland girl easily won the favor of her daddy and grandpa just by horse racing.
At this time, she saw Ye Lizhen standing beside her.
Ye Lizhen sat there expressionlessly, his face showing no emotion.
She took a deep breath and closed her eyes slightly.
**********
Ye Tianhui quickly finalized the next inter-class competition and bet on the winning horse that she had long favored.
Perhaps because of Ye Tianhui's previous victory, the members of the Ye family and the horse manager did not dare to underestimate her. As soon as they heard about Ye Tianhui's choice, they all went back to study it. So after leaving Grandpa Ye's room, everyone was in a hurry with their own thoughts.
There were also a few cousins who were curious and wanted to ask, but were obviously too embarrassed to speak up.
Only Ye Wenbin actually followed Ye Tianhui all the time, quite enthusiastic and curious.
Ye Tianhui recalled the gossip she had seen before. It seemed that he was now close to a small celebrity in the entertainment industry and they had made a vow to each other, but his family was against it.
The little star was called Hu Yunjiao and was originally from the mainland. Ten years ago, her family came to Hong Kong on a private boat. However, they encountered huge waves and the boat capsized. The whole family was buried at the bottom of the sea, but Hu Yunjiao survived.
Later, Hu Yunjiao entered the entertainment industry by relying on her beauty. Naturally, there were many romantic scandals and her reputation was not good. Ye Wenbin was obsessed with Hu Yunjiao and wanted to marry her, but Old Master Ye refused to give in. Ye Wenbin was so anxious that he grabbed the wall.
Seeing that he was following closely behind her, Ye Tianhui insisted on finding out the reason. He must be short of money.
Families like the Ye family are naturally wealthy and powerful. Ordinary people would think they are carefree. In fact, those in power are worried about the future, about the land in Sha Tin, and about whether their descendants can enjoy wealth forever a hundred years later.
Children in ordinary families can only freely use the monthly allowance. They are rich at the beginning of the month but tight at the end of the month. If they want to use other money, they will probably need approval from their elders. It is not so easy to do as they please.
Ye Wenbin was obviously looking for a way to make money.
Ye Tianhui confessed directly: "I am indeed somewhat certain, but you have to know that there is no such thing as 100% certainty in this world. If I were certain, I would have made a fortune long ago. I can only tell you my own judgment. As for how you are doing, it is none of my business. If you bring it up to Fourth Uncle or if the old man asks about it, it will naturally have nothing to do with me. Don't mention anything you do to me."
Ye Wenbin naturally kept saying: "You didn't tell me anything, I just heard what you and the old man mentioned, so I acted on my own!"
Ye Tianhui nodded. In fact, she was very confident about the next game. She had already secretly placed a bet of 100,000 Hong Kong dollars, hoping to win a big prize.
After placing the bet, she patiently waited for the next inter-class competition, and also began to devote herself to learning how to drive and getting a driver's license.
When it comes to driving, she was a little confused at first. After all, whether for Ye Tianhui in her previous life or Ye Tianhui in the mainland of this life, it was something too far away. In the mainland, car drivers are considered to be good positions among the eight major officials, which are simply out of reach for ordinary people.
However, after a day or two of contact, she finally got the feel for it. In a sense, there is no difference between driving a car and driving a horse. The only difference is that a car is mechanical, and the various buttons and the car's mechanical responses are fixed, while a horse needs to be judged by feeling.
So after two or three days of learning, she got the hang of it and was able to operate it almost smoothly. Even the coach praised her for her talent, and she felt pretty good about it too.
However, if he wanted to get a driver's license, he would have to pass a written test, which was naturally very troublesome. He would have to memorize a lot of information, which gave Ye Tianhui a headache. He had no choice but to study hard.
She felt bored in this difficult study and couldn't help but want to go out and play.
Besides, she was also thinking about another matter. In the past few days, she had been asking about the mailing of the Ye family's letters without leaving any trace. She knew that the Ye family's letters would be placed in a public mailbox and then handed over to the post office by the servants.
After she did some research, she wrote a letter to send back to the mainland, and planned to find a time to mail it.
Of course, she didn't want to use a public mailbox like the one at Ye's.
In this case, she had to go down the mountain.
She had many plans for going down the mountain, and she calculated that Gu Shizhang would probably be back from abroad.
She immediately tried to call Gu Shizhang, and the call was picked up. She was overjoyed and said with a smile, "You're back!"
However, who knew that there was a woman's voice on the other end of the phone, and the other party asked her who she was.
She was a little confused.
To her, Gu Shizhang was just Gu Shizhang, a clean and honest Gu Shizhang. He might have his social connections and personal background, but she had never met him.
He never asked about her past or where she was going, and she would not ask him either. In this vast world, the interactions between two people somewhat ignored the spiritual level of identity and background.
Now, a woman's voice suddenly came out, and Ye Tianhui didn't know what to do.
She could only say dryly: "I'm looking for Mr. Gu, Mr. Gu Shizhang."
When the woman heard this, she said, "Mr. Gu is not at home right now. What do you want to talk to him about? Do you need me to write it down for you?"
Ye Tianhui had actually already given up: "It's nothing, I'm his friend, I knew he went abroad, I wanted to see if he came back, it's nothing, you——"
She still said, "Please don't help me convey it. I'll find him when I have time."
The woman listened and agreed.
After hanging up the phone, Ye Tianhui felt uncomfortable no matter how she thought about it, extremely uncomfortable.
She even began to think about the way the woman spoke. She sounded very young, with a very sweet voice, and seemed to have a very well-behaved temperament.
There was actually such a woman hidden in his house.
Isn’t this like being in a melon field with a plum tree?
He never told himself!
When Ye Tianhui thought of this, she was also surprised that she actually had such thoughts about Gu Shizhang, to the point that he had a woman in his family. She felt uneasy and even felt that he had let her down.
How could she think like that?
Although there were some subtle things between the two of them before, and they might have had feelings for each other, neither of them had made any promises, yet she actually had so many expectations of him.
How can this be?
Of course Ye Tianhui would not allow herself to do this. It was obvious that Gu Shizhang had never been transparent in front of her, and she could not understand him. But now she was about to fall into it and began to have many expectations of him.
Ye Tianhui picked up the water cup beside her and drank several mouthfuls of water in a depressed mood, trying to expel the feeling of frustration in her heart.
She should go out for a walk. She can’t stay at Ye’s house anymore. She wants to go out and make friends.
Who to go to first?
She quickly thought of going to find Jiang Lingfeng first.
