Chapter 40
The "delicious food" Jiang Lingfeng was referring to was Western food, not proper Western food. It was actually a popular Western fast food restaurant in Hong Kong. The decor was unusual. Inside, there was a foreigner wearing yellow clothes and fluffy red hair. Did he look like a clown? A sign next to it had both traditional Chinese and English characters. The traditional characters read something like "Free McDonald's Gift Certificate."
Ye Tianhui: "Gift certificate?"
She doesn't understand and has never eaten it.
Jiang Lingfeng seemed to understand very well. He took her to a seat, asked her to sit down, and then he went to order food.
Ye Tianhui was curious and followed over to see: "How do I order this?"
Jiang Lingfeng saw her curious look and said, "Then follow me and see how I order."
Ye Tianhui nodded vigorously, and the two of them went over together. They found that there was a queue here and many people wanted to order food, so they ordered a set meal. Jiang Lingfeng ordered a hamburger, French fries, and fried chicken nuggets.
After taking an order slip, he took Ye Tianhui to the side to wait for the food.
Ye Tianhui whispered, "It's done so quickly?"
Jiang Lingfeng: "So it's fast food, of course it's faster."
Ye Tianhui: "Oh, I see."
It turns out that Western capitalism is different!
Ye Tianhui ate hamburgers and fried chicken. She liked the fried chicken and hamburgers because they were delicious and fragrant.
What surprised her even more was that there was Coke here, which tasted the same as the one she drank at home.
After eating fried chicken and burgers for a while, I felt sick of them. At this time, drinking Coke is very good because of its cool taste. It is especially thirst-quenching!
Ye Tianhui was very satisfied: "No wonder so many people come to eat, this is delicious!"
Jiang Lingfeng: "This is very famous. This shop just came to Hong Kong recently."
Ye Tianhui: "No wonder!"
Jiang Lingfeng: "Tell me about you, what happened to you recently? I went to the horse farm to look for you before, and they said you were gone."
He looked at her clothes curiously. Although he didn't quite understand, he could feel that her clothes were different from before. Although the clothes she wore now looked casual, they seemed very expensive.
Ye Tianhui drank a sip of Coke happily, then told Jiang Lingfeng about her situation, explaining the whole story.
Finally, she said comfortably, "That's it. I already have a house in Causeway Bay. If you have time, you can come over and take a look. I'll treat you to a meal!"
Jiang Lingfeng listened and felt that the story was too bizarre.
He asked tentatively, "So... you are the daughter of a wealthy family now?"
Ye Tianhui nodded. "That's theoretically possible. After all, they recognized me and gave me some assets. But being the daughter of a wealthy family isn't all good. They gave me assets, documents, equity, and various cards, and I can use them at will. But I have a lot of worries now. I have to get involved in the intrigues and deceptions of wealthy families. I have to learn everything I need to, otherwise they will swallow me whole."
Jiang Lingfeng heard her say: "Isn't your dad very good to you?"
Ye Tianhui: "It's hard to say. I don't think Daddy cares much about the family disputes. If I don't worry about it myself, I can't rely on him."
Jiang Lingfeng: "Then you can just take your time and persevere. After all, with your current status, you can enjoy a good life. At the very least, it's better than before."
Ye Tianhui: "Well, that's the only way I can think of it."
But of course she had to think about gaining more resources and more rights in the Ye family.
You must climb up at all times. Only by climbing up can you gain more freedom. Otherwise, you will just be a tool to be manipulated.
In her time, there were princesses sent to marry foreign princes.
Jiang Lingfeng: "Then what about the marriage you just mentioned?"
Ye Tianhui gave a brief account of the situation, and finally she analyzed, "Of course I can't possibly marry that Gu family member. If they want an arranged marriage, let Ye Wenyin do it. I can't do that. I'm only after money. I absolutely can't ruin my marriage with them."
She thought of Old Master Ye and sighed, "He hasn't been through socialist transformation. His head is full of feudal ideas, like arranged marriages and large families. But I don't think many of his grandchildren listen to him. They're all keeping celebrities, cheating on their wives, and who knows what will become of this family when he's gone!"
Jiang Lingfeng pursed his lips, staring at her in silence for a long moment before finally asking, "If that's the case, do you really want to get involved with their family? It sounds like this kind of family is very troublesome."
Ye Tianhui: "Of course, I want to get involved for the money."
Jiang Lingfeng: "How much money do you want?"
Ye Tianhui: "I don't know, I think the more the better."
Jiang Lingfeng: "If you don't like them, forget it. You can make money on your own."
Ye Tianhui said, "No, I just want money! They are my biological grandfather and father. They never raised me. Instead, because of their neglect, I have been hungry for so many years. If I had been born into a decent family when I was reincarnated, I would not have suffered such injustice."
She sighed, "I blame myself too. I've never had a peaceful life because of my poor reincarnation skills."
Jiang Lingfeng: "...You make it sound like you've been reincarnated countless times."
Ye Tianhui was silent for a moment, then smiled.
There are probably very few people in this world who have been reincarnated twice like her.
After eating at McDonald's, Jiang Lingfeng took her on a bus to Victoria Harbour. Hong Kong's economy is developing rapidly now, and this place is also prosperous and bustling. Busy ferries, cruise ships, sightseeing boats, etc. can be seen on the coast, and there are also some slightly old and dilapidated small boats mixed in.
Jiang Lingfeng took Ye Tianhui to take the ferry. It was actually just a small boat that could accommodate about twenty people, and a ticket was only a few Hong Kong dollars. Jiang Lingfeng paid for two tickets and took Ye Tianhui on board.
Because it was cheap, everything was extremely simple. The deck from the dock was made up of only wet wooden boards, which looked like they were about to rot and looked very flimsy.
Jiang Lingfeng jumped over first, then took Ye Tianhui's hand and went over.
The interior of the cabin was lined with dark red wooden seats with traditional Chinese advertisements posted above them. Although the cabin was not very large, there were not many people there at this moment. Apart from the two of them, there was only a white couple and two or three young students, so it seemed spacious and comfortable.
The two of them sat in seats by the window, overlooking the harbor. The sea breeze brought a wet and salty scent.
Ye Tianhui smiled and looked into the distance. In the distance, she could faintly see the buildings on the opposite bank. They should be low stilt houses, shrouded in mist.
She laughed and said, "Looking at it this way, it's not really that long. It's a very short distance, but I felt like I swam for a long time."
Jiang Lingfeng turned his head slightly and looked at Ye Tianhui.
The cool autumn sea breeze blew her hair, and a strand of soft hair gently fluttered on her fair cheek, making her cheek appear a little flushed.
She reminded him of the peaches he had seen when he was a child.
After walking a long way, I saw a peach orchard on the side of the road in my thirst. The peaches there were ripe, with a hint of pink, and it seemed that they would be juicy if I just bit them.
He just can't eat it.
He looked down at the mud between his toes, then finally took a step forward and left.
Later, the peach remained in his dreams, and its fragrance lingered for many years.
He retracted his gaze and said, "Why did you come here? You can survive by yourself anyway."
Ye Tianhui: "To have enough food to eat."
She chuckled and said, "In my previous life, I starved for a long time before I died. I only wanted to eat something good in this life. Who would have thought that my reincarnation skills were not good enough. I have been hungry since I was born and have never eaten anything good. I don't care about justice in the world, let alone who is right or wrong. I just want to make money, eat delicious food, and enjoy all the wealth in the world!"
She was telling the truth, but Jiang Lingfeng obviously didn't take it seriously and just thought she was joking.
Jiang Lingfeng pursed his lips, smiled, and said in a low voice: "Now you have finally got what you wished for. You have entered the Ye family and become the daughter of the Ye family. You will no longer have to worry about wealth."
Ye Tianhui looked at the petrels flying over Victoria Harbour and smiled, "It seems I don't have to worry anymore, but I'm not quite satisfied. I always feel like everything is just a castle in the air. I don't like others giving me charity. I'm like a pig in a pigsty, staring at the trough all my life, relying on the owner's charity to survive. Even then, I'm still worried, worried that others won't give me the next meal and I'll have nothing to eat."
Jiang Lingfeng understood.
She entered the Ye family and became a rich lady, but she was not willing to be a pawn of a wealthy family, nor was she willing to be married off as a tool for marriage by her elders. She wanted to fight for some power in this wealthy family and control the wealth.
It is rare to find a woman like her in this world.
But if you think about it, you can understand how many strong men have lost their lives in the turbulent waves in this area, not to mention a young woman like her.
She was able to cross the raging sea to the Hong Kong River, and survive the chaos of refugees behind her. She even had the energy to help her grandmother and sister. Such a woman is not an ordinary person.
He still clearly remembers that night when everyone called their friends and helped each other build temporary houses, spread out their bedding, accommodated the elderly and children, and began to get busy settling down.
But she stood up, without any reluctance or hope, and turned away.
Jiang Lingfeng always felt that he was a loner, but she seemed to be even lonelier than him.
There is also a sense of humanity amidst the loneliness and coldness.
He remained silent for a long time, and finally whispered, "You can do it."
**********
It was already late when Ye Tianhui said goodbye to Jiang Lingfeng.
It was the rush hour for office workers to get off work. The lights were just coming on, the bus station was crowded, and the taxi horns were blaring.
Ye Tianhui couldn't help feeling unhappy when she thought about going back to the Ye family and facing those people.
It’s one thing to be full of fighting spirit, but it’s not pleasant to have disputes and disputes as soon as you enter the door.
So now that she was talking to Jiang Lingfeng like this, freely and frankly, she felt a little nostalgic, and even thought that if she didn't have to enter the Ye family, it would not be a bad idea to live by winning some money from watching horse racing.
As Jiang Lingfeng waited for the bus with her, he whispered to her, "I was born poor, so I don't understand the gossip of wealthy families. But I do hear people talk about it occasionally, and I'm afraid that even though those wealthy families live under the same roof, they might not be united and might be fighting against each other. You're new here, so it's not going to be easy for you these days."
He paused briefly, looked at her, and said, "If you have anything to say, just tell me. I don't have any special talents, but I have strength. I will do whatever I can for you."
Ye Tianhui listened and said, "Thank you."
She reached out her hand and gently shook Jiang Lingfeng's hand. Looking at the bustling crowd, she said, "You are the first friend I have met since coming to Hong Kong. If I encounter any difficulties, I will definitely consult you."
As they were talking, the bus Ye Tianhui was about to take arrived. She let go of Jiang Lingfeng's hand and said, "I'm getting on the bus. You should go home early, otherwise you'll worry about your grandma for nothing."
Jiang Lingfeng nodded: "Okay."
He said this, but he didn't move. He just stood there, watching her get on the bus in silence and watching the bus go away.
Then he raised his hand and looked down at the hand she had held.
He knew that she was a woman who didn't care about trivial matters, and her heart was clear, and she had absolutely no feelings for him, whether male or female.
But there was still some lingering fragrance in his hands.
*********
When Gu Zhihan played tennis with the younger generation, he always counted the games he lost. He was a little absent-minded, wondering where Ye Tianhui had gone.
She had just become the eldest daughter of the Ye family. Didn't she know how to be polite and follow the rules? If her grandfather didn't like her behavior or her parents disliked her, how would she be able to enter the Gu family in the future?
Gu Zhihan was deeply worried about this and wanted to find Ye Tianhui as soon as possible to tell her what to do.
He felt that she was so useless. She was indeed from the countryside and didn't know the etiquette of a wealthy family.
But he soon forgave her. It was normal that she didn't understand these things. She had been living in the mainland and was said to have often gone hungry. She had suffered so much, so how could she know these things?
When Gu Zhihan thought about this, he suddenly felt pity for Ye Tianhui. He thought, if that was the case, if she married him in the future, he must treat her well and never let her suffer again.
He thought of Ye Wenyin again. Ye Wenyin in sportswear had a graceful posture and looked very beautiful.
Such a Ye Wenyin is certainly attractive. He used to think Ye Wenyin was good, but he always felt that she might be lacking something, at least she could not be compared with Ye Tianhui.
Ye Tianhui leaped forward, and her graceful figure had already entered his heart, making him unable to forget it.
Gu Zhihan spent the entire half day in this trance. When he was about to leave, he said goodbye to his grandfather and Old Man Ye. However, he heard Old Man Ye looking at him with admiration and saying that Zhihan was very successful at a young age and would definitely achieve something great in the future.
He was moved when he heard this and wondered what this meant.
Then he heard his grandfather say that he was impetuous and needed to gain experience. He also mentioned that Ye Tianhui wanted to learn how to drive and asked Zhihan to help her, as Zhihan was a good driver.
The two old men chatted and laughed, and it seemed that everything had been arranged. Later, when they asked him what he thought, he of course nodded in agreement.
As the old men were talking to each other, Gu Zhihan understood that they were going to make arrangements for himself and Ye Tianhui.
He only felt his face burning, as if it was being roasted, but his heart was bubbling with bubbles, those were bubbles of happiness.
It seems that the two elders also think that he and Ye Tianhui are suitable for each other!
As long as she doesn't feel too awkward, then things will go smoothly between her and me!
In this feeling of floating happiness, Gu Zhihan got into the car and left with the main force.
**********
Just as the Gu family was leaving, Ye Tianhui was taking a taxi up the mountain. She naturally saw the convoy coming down the mountain and guessed that it must be the Gu family.
Very good, perfect miss.
She leaned back comfortably in her chair, planning her next steps. The second inter-class race she had chosen was about to begin that evening. Now that she had enough information about the horse racing situation, she was very confident.
If she wins this time, her prestige in the Ye family will definitely increase.
Next, she also wants to win the last inter-class competition.
After winning three inter-class races, she will be able to gain partial control of the Ye family's racehorses, and thus begin to gain an indispensable position in the Ye family.
As for Ye Wenyin, there is no way she can compare with her.
If she wants to arrange a marriage, then let her do it. Anyway, from what we see now, both Gu Zhihan and Gu Jiayue are useless, and it is hard to say whether they will have to rely on the Gu family in the future.
If she could gain a certain amount of power in the Ye family, she would naturally make things very prosperous. Even if she failed miserably in the end, she would definitely leave her name in history.
Ye Tianhui had made such a wishful thinking, and she felt very happy. She even seemed to have returned to the past when she was arranging troops and fighting on the battlefield.
Thinking of this, I naturally thought of Gu Shizhang.
She felt that the reason she thought of Gu Shizhang at this time was definitely not because of her restless daughterly feelings, but because he was like a saint.
Gu Shizhang cannot be trusted.
Gu Shizhang is not a person you can confide in.
She repeated it to herself a hundred times.
She even trusted Jiang Lingfeng more than Gu Shizhang.
Because she knew it was honest, just like in her previous life, those good friends who could fight alongside her were brothers who fought together through swords and guns.
There is nothing that cannot be discussed.
But Gu Shizhang was different. She felt that there was a layer between her and Gu Shizhang. She was reserved towards Gu Shizhang, and she also knew that Gu Shizhang was reserved towards her.
He may not just be a jockey. His knowledge and cultivation are far higher than that of an ordinary jockey.
But Ye Tianhui didn’t want to guess anything. There were some people she shouldn’t have guessed about.
So, forget this person, she should never think about him again!
*********
After returning to Ye Garden, Ye Tianhui walked into the living room and saw Ye Wenyin, who was wearing a windbreaker and was about to go out.
Looking up and seeing Ye Tianhui, she smiled: "Miss Tianhui is finally back."
There must be a lot of sarcasm in these words.
Ye Tianhui could see through Ye Wenyin's character very well. At first glance, she seemed weak and innocent, kind and gullible, but in fact, that was just a mask she faced to the world.
In front of me, she is very sharp. She always wants to see me in trouble and wants to drive me out of the house.
From the moment she appeared in Hong Kong, the battle between her and Ye Wenyin was a life-and-death one.
Ye Tianhui said calmly: "An important guest came today, it seems you have made a good harvest."
Ye Wenyin adjusted the collar of her coat, then opened the door and was about to leave: "This isn't something you need to worry about, but I want to kindly tell you that Grandpa said he'll let you go over when you come back."
Ye Tianhui: "That's right, there's an inter-class competition tonight."
When talking about the inter-class competition, Ye Wenyin's face turned a little unhappy.
She knew that some of the younger members of the family had become superstitious about Ye Tianhui, and some had secretly bought horse racing tickets based on Ye Tianhui's inter-class races. Ye Wenbin probably bought quite a few as well.
These people all wanted to get rich overnight and take shortcuts, but they pinned their hopes on Ye Tianhui.
Of course she hoped that Ye Tianhui would fail. Once Ye Tianhui failed, it would mean that her brothers and sisters would also have to pay compensation, and everyone would hate Ye Tianhui together. Reality was so cruel.
She smiled and said, "Good luck to you."
After saying that, he went out.
Ye Tianhui went upstairs, tidied up a little, and then went to Mr. Ye’s main room.
As soon as I entered the main room, I saw that everyone from each room was there, except Ye Lixuan and myself. I heard that Ye Lixuan had gone out for an important meeting, so I was the only one who was late for no reason.
As soon as she arrived, everyone's eyes were on her.
The old man looked unhappy and asked, "Where did you go to play today? Why did you come back just now?"
Ye Tianhui stepped forward and said respectfully: "I made an appointment with a friend before and went out early in the morning."
The old man said with a straight face: "What friend?"
Ye Tianhui: "I met him when I first came to Hong Kong."
She paused before adding, "We're just ordinary friends, both from the mainland. We used to help each other, and now I've suddenly found my roots and wanted to share the good news with my friends."
When she said this, everyone present couldn't help but feel a little contemptuous.
As soon as they heard the name of the friend from the "mainland", they knew that he must be a poor and low-class person, who might live in a pigeon cage in the slums. Such people are obviously not the same kind as them.
In fact, even the Ye family's servants were too lazy to deal with those people.
Who knew that after hearing this, the old man nodded slightly and said: "Although your status is different from before, since we are friends, we can't become alienated just because of the change in my status."
Ye Tianhui nodded and said respectfully: "Okay, Grandpa is right, I will keep it in mind."
The old man continued, "But we have distinguished guests coming today, so why are you still out? You should say hello first, right?"
Ye Tianhui listened, but was puzzled: "Distinguished guest? What distinguished guest?"
The old man frowned: "You don't know?"
Ye Tianhui: "I do know there are guests, but I thought that since Grandpa invited guests over, they must be business guests. I don't understand those things, and it doesn't matter whether I'm there or not, so I went out to play. Now that Grandpa said so, I will just tell him before going out to play in the future."
Her unaware look naturally made the old man suspicious, and he immediately glanced at Mrs. Tan beside her with his sharp eyes.
Mother Tan panicked and said hurriedly, "I told Miss Tianhui at the time, and mentioned the distinguished guest, but Miss Tianhui didn't listen at all!"
She sighed: "Miss Tianhui wants to go out, I can't stop her, what can I do!"
Ye Tianhui was surprised: "But didn't you say that when distinguished guests come, we should learn etiquette and how to entertain them? Seeing you like that, I feel that I haven't learned it well enough. I'm also afraid that if I show up, I'll be laughed at and lose face for the Ye family. That's why I just go out and hide!"
Mrs. Tan had never expected Ye Tianhui to say this in front of everyone, and she hurriedly explained, "Master, how dare I say this to Miss Tianhui? I tried my best to persuade her, but, but I——"
The second wife next to him suddenly said, "Forget it, Aunt Tan, don't say anymore."
After she said this, Mrs. Tan dared not say anything.
Mrs. Tan relies on the Second Wife. Now, in front of so many people, the old man is showing a bad face to Mrs. Tan, which is actually to save the Second Wife's face. At this time, the Second Wife can only speak up.
The Second Wife looked at Mother Tan with a cold expression, "You have no right to explain yourself here. Regardless of who is right or wrong, since the matter was not handled properly, you will not be held accountable."
Mother Tan fell silent and dared not say another word.
The people around naturally understood that the second wife felt that the old man scolded Mrs. Tan in person, making Mrs. Tan lose face, which was a loss of face for her, so she had to speak up herself.
At this time, it was obvious that the old man had to come out and give some advice, speak a word for Mother Tan, and things would be fine once they were calmed down.
However, what no one expected was that the old man ignored it.
He ignored her and left the Second Wife there. After all, she was someone in his room. It would be inappropriate to continue scolding her, but it would also be unreasonable to just let her go. She didn't know what to do.
The atmosphere at the scene suddenly became a little stagnant, and everyone felt a subtle feeling in their hearts.
At this time, everyone understood that Ye Tianhui actually missed the distinguished guest and went out. It was obvious that Tan's mother did this on purpose, but Ye Tianhui might not be wrong. If it were another child, he would definitely be reprimanded and educated.
But the old man did not blame Ye Tianhui. Instead, he used Tan Ma as an example. This was clearly to make an example of her to scare the monkeys, so that the servants in the house would know that the new Miss Tianhui was not someone they could bully at will.
Some people also looked at Ye Tianhui secretly.
In fact, if Ye Tianhui spoke up and admitted her mistake at this time, it would also give the second wife a way out.
But the problem is, Ye Tianhui just doesn't say anything. She seems to understand nothing and just keeps silent.
The second wife's face turned red. Apart from the old man, she was the most prestigious person in the family, and she had never been humiliated like this before.
Seeing this, Ye Wenyin whispered, "Grandpa, Second Grandma, calm down. I don't think Aunt Tan did it on purpose. She has a lot of things to worry about every day, so even if she forgot for a moment, it's not uncommon."
Her words finally eased the situation, and the others agreed.
The second wife looked at Ye Wenyin gratefully.
Ye Wenyin smiled softly.
Who knew that at this time, Mr. Ye said: "Mother Tan has been very busy recently, right?"
Mother Tan said hurriedly, "I wouldn't say it was hard work, but there was so much to do, and I might have been a little inconsiderate. That's my fault, and I'll try harder in the future."
Old Master Ye nodded and sighed, "Mrs. Tan hasn't looked well lately and hasn't had much energy. In that case, you should take a break. I'll let Mrs. Sun take care of your work for the time being."
Everyone was surprised.
The second wife could hardly believe her ears and looked at Mr. Ye in surprise.
Mother Tan was even more shocked and couldn't understand. After she understood, her face turned pale.
With just a few words, the master actually wanted her to "rest". She knew what "rest" meant better than anyone else!
Rest means that she is not allowed to work, and she is only paid the most basic double food, provident fund and medical care. Nothing else is given, not a penny of salary!
If the break is longer, it will be completely cut off and there will be nothing left!
Mrs. Tan was completely confused. She stared at the Second Madam blankly, looking for help.
The Second Wife was also totally surprised. She looked at Old Master Ye and said, "There's no need to make such a fuss about this, right?"
Old Master Ye: "Actually, I've been thinking about this recently. Although our Ye family is wealthy and has some reputation, we still have to store grain to prevent famine. Some insignificant things should be saved if possible. Although this may not increase income, it can reduce the burden and can be considered as saving money."
Since he had said this, no one dared to say anything else and could only say yes.
The second wife's face flushed red and blue, and she finally managed to say, "You are right."
The others who listened were secretly shocked, thinking that the old man was trying to help the mainland girl establish her authority!
Mrs. Tan's face was ashen and her legs were weak. She looked at the Second Madam sadly. Seeing the Second Madam's expression, she didn't dare to say anything more and had to move her legs down.
The old man then ordered, "Let's eat first. After dinner, the results of the inter-class competition that Tianhui selected will probably be out. I'll call and ask later."
Because this game was a twilight game and there was no TV or live broadcast, I could only find out the result by phone.
When he said that, everyone became more energetic.
Because Ye Tianhui made the right bet in the last inter-class competition, everyone bought some lottery tickets this time and was looking forward to the result.
During the meal, the table was silent most of the time, with only occasional small talk with the old man.
In her previous life, Ye Tianhui's banquet etiquette was actually more particular than that of the Ye family. Although she came from a family of military generals, she had been blessed by the emperor for generations and was from a family of wealth and power. When she was young, she also mixed with princes and princesses. When she entered and left the palace, her etiquette was naturally impeccable.
However, it seems that although the Ye family is a little particular about this aspect, they are not strict, and talking is allowed at their dinner table.
As they talked, they naturally mentioned Mr. Gu. It turned out that the reason why the old man attached so much importance to him today was not only because Mr. Gu came, but also because Mr. Gu's youngest son came.
From what they said, the youngest son of the Gu family was a legendary figure, very unusual. Even the younger generations of the Ye family spoke of him with some respect.
As for Mr. Ye, he praised it repeatedly and was obviously very appreciative.
Ye Tianhui felt a little rebellious after hearing this, and thought that if he was really that outstanding, then he should join the family and make some achievements. After studying for so many years, traveling around the world in the end didn't sound reliable!
There's nothing new about this kind of rich and dissolute young man, he doesn't work hard.
Besides, he is just the uncle of Gu Zhihan. With a nephew like that, the uncle must be just so-so.
I'm just listening casually at the moment.
At this time, everyone had finished their meal and the maids had already come to clean up, but it was obvious that everyone present was already a little impatient.
According to the schedule, the results of the inter-class competition have come out, and everyone wants to know the situation. However, due to the old man's calmness, no one dares to say anything.
Finally, the old man raised his hand and said, "Wen Jing, go call the racecourse and ask, have the results of the race that Tianhui bet on been released?"
After receiving the order, Ye Wenjing stood up and walked to the side. There was a phone next to the floor-to-ceiling window, so he called the horse farm.
Everyone listened to the sound of the phone ringing and waited anxiously.
After all, it's their money that's at stake...
The second wife sat next to the old man, helped him make tea, and glanced at Ye Tianhui inadvertently.
Ye Tianhui felt it, looked over, and looked at her with a smile and a face full of respect.
The second wife turned her eyes away coldly.
Ye Tianhui knew that the second wife must disliked her, but it didn’t matter, just let her be.
And just beside them, Ye Wenyin lowered her eyes slightly, not knowing what she was thinking, while Ye Lizhen lowered his head as if thinking about something.
In the midst of everyone's own thoughts, Ye Wenjing's phone call came through. After the call was connected, they naturally exchanged pleasantries first, and then asked questions, and the other party gave a passionate report.
From such a distance, everyone could only hear Ye Wenjing nodding in agreement and expressing his gratitude. As everyone listened to his words, their minds fluctuated like the waves blown by the wind.
Finally, the call ended.
Everyone's heart was hanging in the air, just hanging there.
Ye Wenjing, what’s going on with the inter-class competition? Please say something!
At this time, Ye Wenjing hung up the phone, walked to Mr. Ye, and prepared to report.
Everyone pricked up their ears and listened.
Ye Wenjing: "Grandpa, I just asked the manager, this game has been broadcast, and the videotape will be delivered soon."
When everyone heard what he said, they were so angry that they wanted to go up and shake him.
What nonsense are you talking about? Just tell me the result!
Old Master Ye nodded slightly.
Ye Wenjing then continued: "The winner is——"
Everyone's heart was raised to their throat.
Even Ye Wenyin looked up and stared at Ye Wenjing.
Ye Wenjing said slowly: “It’s horse number four, the mighty general.”
General number four, Ma Weiwu!
This is exactly the horse Ye Tianhui chose!
As soon as these words were spoken, the atmosphere in the living room suddenly changed.
Although no one laughed or cheered, the living room was instantly filled with joy and excitement.
Ye Wenbin's mouth suddenly cracked and he almost laughed, but he quickly held it back and tried hard to hold it back.
He bet a lot of money, and this time he won big!
As for the other bettors, they were naturally happy and elated because they had won money.
You have to know that although the Ye family is rich, the cash each person has is limited. Who wouldn’t want to buy lottery tickets to make easy money!
Of course, some people are regretful. They regret that they didn’t like it at the time and didn’t believe it, so they didn’t buy it. Now they missed the opportunity!
Old Master Ye listened and nodded with satisfaction: "Very good, very good, Tianhui's eyesight is really amazing!"
If it happens once it could be a coincidence, but twice it is strength, a strength that convinces people.
I have to say, this granddaughter is so capable as to dare to make such a boast.
Horse racing requires judgment of comprehensive information, assessment of time and place, and control of horses and jockeys. Being able to bet on the first horse twice is an absolutely extraordinary ability.
The other children and grandchildren who had gotten the upper hand were naturally delighted and nodded in agreement, "Winning once would be fine, but winning twice in a row is truly admirable! If Tianhui were to sell tips, she would surely make a fortune!"
