Chapter 43
After seeing Ye Tianhui off, Gu Shizhang walked home by himself, and he walked very slowly.
As he walked, he recalled what Ye Tianhui had said just now.
It was like going back to the past, when they practiced sword skills together in the mountain stream, and read together in the study. She accompanied him on his patrols in the border towns. At that time, he had not yet ascended the throne as emperor, and she was still young and innocent.
Everything was beautiful, as beautiful as the picture in a clear stream, so beautiful that he was walking on thin ice, afraid of breaking the beauty before his eyes.
He just walked home, opened the door, and walked straight to the phone to make a call to Ye Lixuan.
The moment the call was connected, he hesitated slightly.
He also didn't expect that she was actually Ye Lixuan's daughter.
He knew that Ye Lixuan's daughter had been found, but he didn't pay much attention to it. He subconsciously thought it was just a very young girl, but he didn't expect it to be her.
He also showed her the coffee he had collaborated with his friends today...
Gu Shizhang suppressed his thoughts and finally said, "Lixuan, which horse did you want to buy last time?"
Ye Lixuan: "Yes."
Gu Shizhang: "If you want that horse, I'll give it to you."
Ye Lixuan: "Oh? So sudden?"
Gu Shizhang: "Well, the plan has changed recently. The horse's performance was average, so I have other ideas. If you want it, I'll give it to you."
On the other end of the phone, Ye Lixuan was silent.
After a moment, he said, "Let's talk about it later. I have a change of plan."
Gu Shizhang: "That's fine. It depends on your needs. We can talk about it later."
*************
After Ye Tianhui returned home, she was in a very good mood. Her whole heart was filled with joy, as if she was flying in the air. So when she returned to Ye Garden and stepped into the hall of the third room, her steps were particularly brisk.
She hugged the furry dog and thought about the way Gu Shizhang talked to her. She felt her heart blossoming with joy and infinite sweetness.
Who knew that when he walked up to the second floor and into the corridor, he would run into Ye Lixuan.
Ye Lixuan had obviously just taken a shower, his hair was still a little wet, and he was wearing casual black satin clothes, which made his face look pale and noble and cold.
Her smile faded, and she looked very obedient: "Daddy, you're back. You came back early today."
Ye Lixuan looked at his daughter. There was no one else in the long and narrow corridor. The dim corridor light came on, and Ye Lixuan clearly saw the smile on his daughter's face that had never faded.
In fact, he saw her from the balcony upstairs before she walked in. She was radiant, her face and eyes were full of smiles, and her whole body was filled with sweetness.
This clearly looks like she's in love with someone.
Ye Lixuan suddenly felt an irrepressible annoyance in his heart.
His eyes were cold as he stared at her and asked, "What about you? Why did you come back just now?"
Ye Tianhui was also surprised when she heard this: "Now, isn't it just getting dark now? Is it very late?"
She came back after dinner. Is that late?
Ye Lixuan: "You haven't got your driver's license yet, you don't have a car, and you don't let your family driver pick you up. How did you get back? A taxi?"
Ye Tianhui nodded: "Yes, I took a taxi back."
Ye Lixuan: "You're a single girl going up the mountain at night. It's not safe, you know?"
Ye Tianhui: "Daddy, don't worry about this. I'm very good at boxing and kicking. I can beat three people by myself. There's no need to be afraid."
Ye Lixuan's eyes had already fallen on the fluffy dog. The soft plush toy was held in his daughter's arms.
It was obvious that this was a gift from a man.
A man who was close to her had dinner with her and then coaxed her into being happy with a stuffed toy.
At this moment, for the first time in his life, Ye Lixuan truly felt what it felt like to be a father of a girl.
His daughter looked innocent, as if she knew nothing. She could sit in the passenger seat of a strange man without any precautions, not noticing that the fabric sticking to her back might make the man distracted. She would also hug the stuffed toy given by the man with an intimate look on her face on such a night.
Ye Lixuan felt a tightness in his chest. He couldn't accept it and couldn't help but catch the bastard who desecrated his daughter and beat him up.
But he clenched his fists and suppressed his anger.
Then, he tried to speak in a calm tone: "What are you holding?"
Ye Tianhui hugged the furry dog in her arms and said with a smile: "It's a dog, quite cute."
Ye Lixuan: "Oh, did you buy it yourself?"
Ye Tianhui heard this and naturally felt what Ye Lixuan meant, so she readily admitted: "I was on a date with a friend, and he gave it to me. We had dinner together tonight."
Ye Lixuan raised his eyebrows slightly and said calmly, "Really? A man?"
He then recalled the day when he saw her outside Zhang Linji with a young man.
It’s that slightly immature man. Is she together with that man?
Ye Tianhui smiled: "Yes, a man, a boyfriend, I guess."
Ye Lixuan immediately grasped the key words: "Is it?"
Ye Tianhui: "Well, this is just the beginning. We are still discussing it, but we may not know about it in the future. Let's talk about it later."
Her tone was somewhat nonchalant, which pushed Ye Lixuan's patience to its limit again, and violent anger was already brewing in his heart.
He just forced it down.
He continued to ask: "Where did you eat? What did you eat?"
Ye Tianhui: "Let's go to his house and eat noodles."
Home? Eating noodles?
Go to someone’s house!
A mediocre bowl of noodles!
Give me a cheap stuffed toy!
This is how people coaxed her into being so happy!
Ye Lixuan's expression turned uncontrollably cold. He stared at her closely: "Who is this person? How did you two meet? Why did you suddenly start dating?"
Ye Tianhui couldn't stand his tone anymore. "Daddy, even though you are my daddy, there's no need to be like this. I'm already eighteen years old. I've lived well for the past eighteen years without anyone caring about me. Now you've only been my daddy for a few days, and you're already meddling in my affairs?"
She reasoned with him seriously: "I'm dating someone, and this is my right. If you want to know, I can talk to you about it, but what qualifications do you have to talk to me like this?"
Ye Lixuan listened, his expression becoming increasingly gloomy. "I'm not qualified? This isn't a question of qualification, but whether I should be responsible for you. You're only eighteen. Don't think you're that old. You're still very young. And you've only just arrived in Hong Kong. It's far more impetuous and complicated here than on the mainland!"
At this point, he became even more furious and heartbroken. "How much do you know about this place? How much do you know about the man you know? He easily coaxed you into his clutches with a cheap stuffed toy. What do you expect me to think?"
Coaxed into it?
Ye Tianhui looked at him in disbelief: "What do you mean by coaxing a cheap stuffed toy into your hands? They said it was brought back from abroad. Is it okay to say the gift is small but the sentiment is great? And what do you mean by coaxing it into your hands? Am I that stupid? It's more like I coaxed him into my hands!"
With a high-quality man like Gu Shizhang, she still thinks she has gotten a great deal!
He has the looks, the money, the house, the skills, and he can even judge horses and ride horses! He can also make pasta and coffee!
Where can I find such a man!
Ye Lixuan's voice was low and cold: "How old is that man? You followed a man to his house and came back so late, what do you want me to think?"
Ye Tianhui found it extremely funny. Could it be that he had misunderstood something?
She looked at him incomprehensibly: "Are you crazy? You have to think so badly of me. I just followed someone home and you started to imagine things. Am I that careless? You're insulting me!"
Ye Lixuan ignored her doubts and asked coldly: "Who is he? What's his name? Tell me."
Ye Tianhui felt that he was more and more unreasonable.
At first I thought he was a well-mannered and elegant university professor, but now it seems that he is actually an old pedant, old-fashioned, domineering and feudal patriarch!
She raised an eyebrow and said sarcastically, "Why, you acknowledge me as your daughter and think you should exercise your rights as a father? I can tell you, it's too late. For the past eighteen years, you knew nothing about the truth. You raised someone else's daughter while your own biological daughter suffered in the mainland. In order to survive, I did everything I should and shouldn't have done."
Ye Lixuan's eyes instantly turned cold, and he gritted his teeth and said, "What are you talking about?"
She pursed her lips and smiled, "When it comes to judging men, I'm definitely much better than you. To be honest, I've seen probably ten thousand times more men than you have. So many men have fallen at my feet, obeying me and never daring to disobey me. Now I've come to this tiny little place, Hong Kong, and I'm just in love. I can kiss and sleep with you whenever I want. I don't need you to teach me or control me!"
After saying that, she no longer paid attention to Ye Lixuan, holding the plush toy, and was about to pass by Ye Lixuan sideways.
I don't want to bother with him anymore!
Ye Lixuan stood by, breathing heavily, staring at his daughter's profile.
He looked at her cold and angry expression, listened to the words she threw at him, and watched her hug the stuffed dog in her arms.
When his beloved wife was pregnant, he also dreamed of having a little daughter, a little daughter holding a plush toy, very well-behaved and soft, held in his arms and spoiled like a little princess.
That was his old dream.
After eighteen years of being in a trance, she woke up from the dream and said that she could sleep when she wanted and kiss when she wanted. She was unruly, rebellious and eccentric!
At this time, Ye Tianhui had already passed Ye Lixuan and walked towards her room. She was too lazy to even look at Ye Lixuan.
Who knew that at that moment, Ye Lixuan suddenly flashed over and grabbed her wrist.
Ye Tianhui was slightly surprised: "What are you doing?"
She doesn't want to commit treason and kill her father!
Ye Lixuan grabbed her wrist, staring at her with a dark gaze. He said in a low and dangerous voice, "Tianhui, everything that happened in the past was my fault. It was my incompetence that caused you so much suffering. But now that you're back home, it's my responsibility to take care of you."
After saying that, he grabbed the stuffed toy in his hand and said, "Give it to me."
Ye Tianhui defended him: "I'm not, are you crazy? Why are you stealing my things?"
Ye Lixuan said sarcastically, "Did he give you anything? It's just a toy for coaxing children. Are you so shallow? You were coaxed away for such a small thing?"
Ye Tianhui was very annoyed when she heard this. She pushed Ye Lixuan directly and said, "What's it to you? I just like it! Let go. This is mine!"
Ye Lixuan gritted his teeth and was about to snatch the stuffed dog: "For a man, you——"
Who would have thought that at this moment a "hiss" sound would be heard.
Ye Tianhui was surprised and looked over quickly, only to find that the furry dog's ears were actually torn while the two people were fighting.
Ye Tianhui subconsciously raised her hand to push Ye Lixuan: "You're going too far!"
Ye Lixuan staggered and retreated suddenly.
The furry dog fell to the ground, with a few strands of fur scattered on the ground.
Ye Tianhui looked at the furry dog on the ground in a daze, anger and pain intertwined in her chest, impacting her brain.
How could he do this!
This was the gift Gu Shizhang had just given him, and he was going to ruin it!
She raised her head and looked at Ye Lixuan incomprehensiblely: "What are you doing? What exactly are you going to do?"
At this moment, the atmosphere in the corridor was depressing and heavy.
Ye Lixuan looked at his daughter, his voice extremely hoarse, and asked word by word: "Do you know what you are doing? Since you are willing to return to the Ye family, I am willing to use all my patience to take care of you, but what are you doing? You go to hang out with a wild man whose identity is unknown, run to his house for a whole night, and you still say these things to me, are you doing it on purpose?"
He murmured, "You are my daughter. How old are you? You are still so young..."
Ye Tianhui was amused and angry, and blurted out, "Then I won't be your daughter, okay? I've lived happily for eighteen years, why should I be controlled all day long as soon as I come to the Ye family? What kind of father are you? What qualifications do you have to control me? I won't listen!"
After she yelled at him, she went straight into her room and slammed the door shut!
************
Ye Tianhui was very angry with Ye Lixuan.
She thought, if she didn't care about Ye Lixuan at the beginning, just wanted to be a decorative father, and didn't care at all, then she wouldn't be so angry now.
She still cared.
Because he was young and good-looking, she thought it was nice to have a father like him, and also because he seemed to be trying to be nice to her, trying to show her patience and fatherly love.
He peeled chestnuts for her, drove her out personally, gave her a card to swipe at will, and chatted with her about horse racing and betting on it.
He has shown so much love to me, but now he is suppressing me roughly, wanting me to obey his arrangements?
You wish!
Ye Tianhui gritted her teeth, wishing she could pull Ye Lixuan over and give him a good beating, or immediately sever their father-daughter relationship.
But after thinking it over, she felt that she shouldn't act on impulse. He was just a father, a blood father, so there was no need to bother with him. Shouldn't she just be perfunctory with him a few times and then squeeze out the maximum surplus value from him!
For example, he is the second generation of the Ye family after all, and can at least give her an identity as a member of the Ye family.
He is also very rich!
Thinking of money, Ye Tianhui suddenly found a way to vent her anger. She took out the card that Ye Lixuan gave her and squeezed it hard!
Ye Tianhui swore and swore something, then went to bed with great ambition.
Early the next morning, she called a driver and went straight to the shopping mall.
She would go to the most expensive shopping malls to buy all the exquisite jewelry and gorgeous clothes. She would buy whatever she wanted and spend money until he went bankrupt!
When Ye Wenyin woke up early in the morning, she saw Ye Tianhui running out in a hurry. She naturally saw the dispute between the father and daughter.
It seems that the father and daughter have a falling out.
She thought about it for a moment, then ground the coffee herself and brought it to Ye Lixuan's study.
The study was silent, and it was obvious that Ye Lixuan had been sitting here for a long time.
He was supposed to go to work today, but he didn't seem to be in the mood.
Ye Wenyin knocked gently on the door, and a slightly hoarse voice came from inside: "Come in."
Ye Wenyin pushed the door open and saw Ye Lixuan sitting at the desk.
He pursed his lips slightly, his eyes were cold and his face showed no expression.
Ye Wenyin bit her lip and whispered, "Daddy, I saw that you didn't go to work after getting up today, and you didn't have breakfast. I was worried about you."
Her voice was soft and sweet, but there was a hint of loss in her eyes.
Ye Lixuan: "Nothing, I just don't have class today."
Ye Wenyin walked forward, placed the tray on Ye Lixuan's desk, and said considerately: "Daddy, I brewed coffee according to your taste, and I also made freshly baked bread, please try it."
Ye Lixuan nodded slightly: "Thank you Wen Yin, put it down first."
Ye Wenyin didn't leave. She looked at Ye Lixuan and asked tentatively, "Daddy, I see that you don't look well. Did you...did you not get enough rest last night?"
After hearing this, Ye Lixuan raised his eyes and glanced at his daughter.
His daughter was brought to Hong Kong when she was a baby. He once thought that she was his biological daughter, but in the end, his daughter was not close to him. Instead, she had close contacts with his second wife.
He was not without sadness about this, but after thinking about it carefully, he simply thought that he had few relatives, lost his wife at a young age, and had a distant relationship with his daughter. He had no choice but to pin his hopes on academics and bury himself in the laboratory every day.
He just never expected that Ye Wenyin, who had been raised by him, was not his biological daughter.
When he first met Ye Tianhui, he felt vaguely familiar with her, but because of various misunderstandings, that familiarity and closeness were suppressed.
By the time she told him the whole story, he had already believed it about 70% of the time.
Maybe Ye Tianhui doesn't fit in with the bustling Hong Kong, but when he looks at Ye Tianhui, he can imagine that if everything has not changed, the little daughter whom he and his wife have taken good care of may grow up to look like Ye Tianhui.
Looking at Ye Wenyin again at this time, he really couldn't feel close to her.
He knew that it was not Ye Wenyin's fault, as she was just a baby at the time. But when he thought of what his daughter said last night, those words were like a knife piercing his heart.
He would subconsciously vent his anger and blame everything on everyone and everything that caused all these consequences.
Besides, he also understood that Ye Wenyin's current tolerance was because she just wanted an identity in the Ye family. As for who her father was, she probably didn't care.
He lowered his eyes slightly, suppressing his complicated thoughts, and finally said, "Nothing, I just didn't have much work to do today, so I read a book in the study. What's wrong, Wen Yin, is there something wrong?"
Ye Wenyin shook her head: "Nothing, I just saw Daddy staying in the study and was worried about you. If there is nothing else, I will leave first."
Ye Lixuan nodded: "Okay."
Ye Wenyin stood up and was about to go out, but halfway through, she suddenly seemed to remember something and turned back and said, "Oh, Daddy, last night..."
She seemed to be hesitant to speak: "Did you mention Tianhui last night? I seemed to hear some noises, and Daddy sounded very angry. I wanted to come out and persuade him, but I was afraid that Tianhui would misunderstand something..."
Ye Lixuan actually didn't want to mention last night.
When he mentioned last night and remembered what Ye Tianhui said, his temples began to ache.
But in the end, he said: "Wen Yin, Tian Hui just returned to the Ye family. Whether it's her and me, or her and the others in the Ye family, these things need to be slowly adjusted. This is not a big deal, you don't have to worry."
After he said this, Ye Wenyin's heart sank slightly.
She understood. The meaning was very clear. They were father and daughter. Even if they had disputes, it was just a way for them to get along. However, outsiders were not allowed to interrupt, and she was that outsider.
As she thought about this, her face slowly turned pale, and her hands clenched quietly under her sleeves.
From this incident on, everything became awkward and delicate.
She knew that she was not the daughter of this family, and she was also trying hard to please Mr. Ye and Ye Lizhen. She maneuvered skillfully and gave full play to her greatest value in order to maintain her status as the daughter of the Ye family.
Ye Lixuan didn't care about the affairs of the Ye family, so she didn't care. She felt that the key was Ye Lizhen, and she chose so.
But now, when she saw how much Ye Lixuan cared about Ye Tianhui, she felt differently.
Seeing Ye Lixuan's favoritism towards Ye Tianhui, she was so jealous that she went crazy. She wanted it too, she wanted Ye Lixuan to be so good to her!
I have called him daddy for eighteen years, and he has never been so indulgent to me. Why should she be able to do so just because Ye Tianhui is here!
She stood there, staring at Ye Lixuan, this aloof and elegant man.
She really hoped that he would be as passionate about her as he was about Ye Tianhui! Even better than Ye Tianhui!
She took a deep breath, suppressed her emotions, and finally said, "Okay, then, I'll go out first."
Ye Lixuan nodded slightly.
After Ye Wenyin closed the door and left, Ye Lixuan raised his hand and gently rubbed his forehead.
Ye Wenyin's words reminded him again, reminding him of everything that happened last night.
He stood up, walked to the cabinet beside him, and took out the furry dog.
Yesterday my daughter came home with a fluffy dog in her arms. She obviously loved it very much and wanted to hug it while walking. But we ended up tugging at it so hard that the fluffy dog fell to the ground and its ear was torn.
This furry dog was quite lifelike, with its bright eyes and half-crooked ears looking at him, looking very innocent.
He looked at the shaggy dog for a long time, and finally, he made a phone call.
It took a long time for the call to be picked up.
The person who answered the phone was Gu Shizhang.
He whispered, "Do you still want to transfer your horse?"
Gu Shizhang: "What's wrong? Didn't you get enough rest?"
Ye Lixuan shook his head: "Give me that horse."
Gu Shizhang: "No problem."
Ye Lixuan: "Is it convenient for you now? I need to go over there. I need to discuss some details about the Panama coffee plantation with you. I'm bringing the horse manager with me, so I can handle the transfer procedures for the racehorses. You just need to sign."
Gu Shizhang was also a little surprised, but he still asked: "Where are you? I'll go to your school to find you?"
Ye Lixuan: "What about you?"
Gu Shizhang: "I'm at home today."
Ye Lixuan: "Then I'll come to your house to find you. After I'm done, I have to go to school. I have classes today."
Gu Shizhang: "Okay."
After hanging up the phone, Gu Shizhang pondered for a moment, then picked up the phone to call Ye Tianhui.
Ye Lixuan suddenly ignored everything and was eager to buy the horse from him. This horse must be a gift for Ye Tianhui.
This shows that there was some dispute between father and daughter, which is why Ye Lixuan was so eager to please his daughter.
After he made the call, the phone rang for a long time and no one answered.
He raised his eyebrows helplessly and could only give up.
***********
Ye Tianhui ran to the mall. She now had some knowledge of the brands of these jewelry, and she also knew that some clothes and bags would be very expensive.
But she felt that there was no need to buy these things herself, as her family would provide them for her anyway.
Since she wanted to spend Ye Lixuan's money lavishly and make him feel distressed, she had to buy some jewelry and jade, so that she could save some private money. If she parted ways with the Ye family in the future, she could pack up her belongings and leave.
People must have long-term thinking!
So she ran to the most famous gold jewelry store in Hong Kong, looked around, and first bought five big gold bracelets and then a gold necklace. After buying them, she felt unsatisfied, so she ran to the Swiss watch store next door and bought the most expensive limited edition watch!
She knows these hold value.
After she chose a watch for herself, she wanted to buy one for Gu Shizhang.
If Ye Lixuan knew that she spent his money to buy a gift for her boyfriend, he would probably be so angry that he would die!
very good.
But after taking a look, I found that the watch was quite expensive, so I hesitated.
Finally, I gritted my teeth and decided not to buy a watch for Gu Shizhang. I’ll buy something else, but it can’t be too expensive!
Otherwise it will be a big loss!
Although Dad is not capable, Gu Shizhang cannot be given too much advantage.
When she came out of the watch shop, she saw an antique shop next to it. Out of curiosity, she went over to take a look.
Naturally, she had some discerning eyes, and she knew a little about porcelain, calligraphy and paintings. She quickly picked out a few good ones and packed them all up to take back!
After buying these, she spent a lot of money and her mood immediately improved a lot.
She searched the mall for the fluffy dog.
The furry dog that Gu Shizhang gave her had its ears torn and was thrown on the ground. She didn't want to pick it up and wanted to find another one that was exactly the same.
But who would have thought, she looked everywhere but couldn't find that style at all. She found the owner of an imported toy store and described it to him, but he also said he had never seen anything like it.
He just analyzed: "It sounds like it should be specially customized, right?"
Ye Tianhui felt helpless, thinking that Gu Shizhang must have bought such a furry dog from somewhere, and she couldn't even find the same one.
She felt a little depressed and helpless.
The one Gu Shizhang gave her was torn to pieces.
Thinking of this, he felt even more annoyed with Ye Lixuan.
She walked helplessly, and when she passed by a public telephone, she thought of calling Gu Shizhang.
I need his comfort especially at this time.
She put down what she was holding and called Gu Shizhang directly.
**********
The doorbell rang, Gu Shizhang went to open the door and welcomed Ye Lixuan in.
Ye Lixuan: "You didn't go back home this time?"
A few years ago, Mr. Gu bought a large piece of land in Hong Kong and built a house. The land was even larger than the Ye Garden of the Ye family. As the youngest son of Mr. Gu, Gu Shizhang naturally lived in the old house of the Gu family.
However, in recent years he has been traveling around the world and started doing some things on his own, so he rarely goes back.
Because Ye Lixuan and Gu Shizhang have always had a good relationship, he knew about Gu Shizhang's house.
When Gu Shizhang was not in Hong Kong before, he asked Ye Lixuan to help him get something, so Ye Lixuan was quite familiar with this place.
Gu Shizhang welcomed Ye Lixuan into the living room: "I don't have such plans for the time being."
Seeing this, Ye Lixuan stopped asking.
Although they are very familiar with each other, they also maintain a certain distance. Gu Shizhang is not the kind of person who likes others to ask about his life, and neither is he.
Gu Shizhang stood up and made coffee for him. Ye Lixuan had already taken the relevant documents sent by the horse manager, some of which required Gu Shizhang's signature.
Gu Shizhang made him some coffee and was about to pick up the information to read, but at this moment, the phone rang.
Ye Lixuan lowered his head and continued to look at the information, while Gu Shizhang stood up to answer the phone.
After the call was connected, he heard a wronged voice on the other end: "Gu Shizhang, what are you doing?"
When Gu Shizhang heard this voice, his expression paused slightly, and then he looked at Ye Lixuan beside him inconspicuously.
He was looking through the information and didn't notice anything.
Gu Shizhang said: "I am at home and I have guests."
After he said this, he lowered his voice slightly: "What's wrong? Did something happen?"
When Ye Tianhui heard this, she knew it was inconvenient for him, and hurriedly said, "Then I'll talk to you later, you just entertain the guests."
Gu Shizhang: "It's okay, wait a moment, I'm in the living room, I'll call you from the study, can you give me your number?"
Ye Tianhui then gave the number.
Gu Shizhang wrote it down and hung up the phone for the time being.
Ye Lixuan was looking at the horse's information from the side. When he heard this, he asked, "What's wrong?"
Gu Shizhang: "I'll make a call, it'll be quick."
Ye Lixuan nodded slightly: "Okay, let's talk later. Let me take a look at the plantation data first."
Gu Shizhang went to the study, where he shook the number.
When the phone rang, he looked at the wooden door of the study and thought of Ye Lixuan who was across the study.
The man looked obviously depressed. He was in a bad mood because of his daughter.
He had a quarrel with his daughter and they were upset, and he took it very seriously, so he came to me specially, wanting to get Tengyunwu from me to please his daughter.
As he was thinking this, the phone rang and he heard Ye Tianhui's voice.
The low voice was filled with sadness, without any concealment.
She has always been like this, and has been like this since she was very young. Her unhappiness is written in her clear eyes, and someone has to coax her patiently, and it takes a long time to make her laugh.
Gu Shizhang lowered his voice and said in the most gentle voice he had ever used: "Tell me, what happened?"
Ye Tianhui thought of the fluffy dog and felt very depressed: "Gu Shizhang, I'm sorry...but I'm so sad."
Gu Shizhang: "What's wrong?"
Ye Tianhui: "I have broken the fluffy dog you gave me. Its ears are crooked."
She felt even more upset when she thought of the furry dog with its ears crooked and thrown to the ground.
Gu Shizhang smiled when he heard this: "It's no big deal. If you like it, I'll give you another one, exactly the same."
Ye Tianhui: "But——"
She said unhappily, "I've been asking around in the mall for a long time, but no one sells this. I can't buy it."
Gu Shizhang: "Of course you can't buy it here. I bought this stuffed dog from a friend in England. He still has some. I'll buy you another one later, or a few more. You can have as many as you want."
Ye Tianhui: "Okay."
Although I still feel a little sad, at least this will make me feel much better, and I will feel that at least this regret is not irreparable.
Gu Shizhang listened to her somewhat reluctant tone and chuckled: "It's just a furry dog, not expensive. I'll give you another one, so there's nothing to be sad about, right?"
Ye Tianhui knew that he was softening his tone to coax her, and this was exactly what she needed, which made her very happy.
Then the loss and frustration in her heart slowly dissipated, and she smiled and said, "There's nothing to be sad about."
Gu Shizhang: "So what happened? How could it go bad?"
Hearing this, Ye Tianhui sighed: "It's still my father!"
Gu Shizhang; “…”
He raised his eyes and glanced at the study door.
In fact, the sound insulation of the study is not very good, because he is the only one living in the house, and he did not put any special effort into this aspect when it was renovated and designed.
So when he was talking to Ye Tianhui, theoretically Ye Lixuan could hear some of the sounds, but he couldn't hear them clearly.
Now, separated from the father by a door, he was listening to his daughter's complaints about her father.
He lowered his voice and asked tentatively, "What happened to your father?"
Ye Tianhui: "He is such a domineering and feudal person. Last night when I came back, he actually said I came back late and wanted to control me."
Gu Shizhang understood: "You had a disagreement and started arguing, so you tore the Maomao dog apart."
Ye Tianhui: “Yeah.”
Gu Shizhang: "Did you do it?"
When Ye Tianhui heard this, she was not convinced: "How could I have done it? It was him who did it!"
Gu Shizhang sighed softly, "If we talk about fighting, even if he is a seven-foot-tall man, he may not be able to do anything to you."
This is the truth. He knows her strength and Ye Lixuan is no match for her.
Ye Tianhui was helpless: "I just pushed him, a gentle push, who knew he was still holding my furry dog, and it turned out to be broken!"
Gu Shizhang: “…”
He took a deep breath and said, "No matter what, he is your biological father."
Ye Tianhui snorted: "He is against me dating you."
Gu Shizhang: "Shouldn't he object?"
Ye Tianhui couldn't believe it: "What do you mean? You actually sided with him? You mean I should listen to him and break up quickly, okay, okay, then let's break up!"
Gu Shizhang: "Tianhui, you know that's not what I meant. I just wanted to say something fair."
Ye Tianhui was obviously unhappy, but still said: "Then tell me."
Gu Shizhang: "Honestly, if I had a daughter who had been living away from home and suddenly came back to me and found a boyfriend in the blink of an eye, and someone I had never met, I would definitely not accept it. I would definitely ask about his ancestors for 18 generations and might even break his legs."
Ye Tianhui was confused: "Do you have a daughter? You have a daughter? Gu Shizhang, are you married?"
Gu Shizhang: "No, I'm not married, I don't have children, I've never had any children. I'm just assuming."
Ye Tianhui: "That's it, why do you make such an assumption?"
Gu Shizhang: “…”
He was helpless, but still tried to explain to her: "He must be worried about you, right? You just got reunited as father and daughter, so you're not familiar with each other. He was using his own way to care for you, but he used the wrong method and it offended you."
Ye Tianhui thought about it and finally said, "There is some truth to that."
Gu Shizhang smiled and said, "Maybe it's only one percent true, but we can use this one percent to think about why he did this."
Ye Tianhui sighed: "Actually, I'm not that angry anymore. I just bought a lot of things."
Gu Shizhang: "Hmm?"
Ye Tianhui: "Use his card... Anyway, I'll use his money to get back at him!"
Gu Shizhang's lips curled up slightly. "That's right, just buy whatever you like. The mall in Hong Kong has everything, there must be something you like. Anyway, since he didn't support you before, he should make it up to you now. Don't be soft-hearted, just max out his card."
Ye Tianhui: "Blast off? What does that mean?"
Gu Shizhang: "Even the highest credit card has a maximum limit. You can use it frequently and buy everything you like. That way, the credit limit on the card is used up, and it's called a maxed-out card."
Ye Tianhui: "I see! I thought it would never be finished!"
If so, that's great, she can keep buying more!
Gu Shizhang listened to the free and easy voice over there. The little girl's spirit returned and she looked full of fighting spirit, as if she wanted to buy the whole world.
This reminded him of his previous life.
He liked to look for interesting and novel trinkets among the tribute items from all over the place, and would ask people to keep them, collect them, and give them to her when she returned.
When she is in a bad mood, give it to her and she will immediately smile.
But this seemed to be when she was still young. After she turned twenty, she was not so easy to coax.
She became more and more concerned and more wary of him.
Those little gadgets that took a lot of effort to make her smile could no longer easily bring her smile.
After hanging up the phone, Gu Shizhang recalled the bittersweet yet warm memories and pushed open the door.
In the living room, the man was looking down at the documents on the table.
He heard the door open and looked up.
With a slight nod, they both understood each other.
He knew that he was in love, but he obviously didn't intend to ask more questions. It was not a good idea to ask too much about such things.
Of course, I'm not interested in asking.
Gu Shizhang was silent for a moment, but then took the initiative to speak: "My girlfriend's phone number."
Ye Lixuan raised his eyebrows: "Congratulations, waiting for good news."
Gu Shizhang curled his lips, chuckled, and said, "My girlfriend was in a bad mood, so I tried to coax her a little more and wasted time."
Ye Lixuan was obviously not interested in this topic. He said indifferently, "I'm surprised that you are like this."
Then he added, "You've been tempted by worldly desires."
Friends who are familiar with him all know that Gu Shizhang has driven countless women crazy since he was young, but he has always been cold-hearted and unmoved by them.
Gu Shizhang smiled and said, "My girlfriend doesn't have a good temper. I have no choice but to coax her."
Ye Lixuan raised his eyebrows and looked at Gu Shizhang in confusion.
But he didn't think much about it.
After all, Gu Shizhang, who had just returned from England, was a top nobleman who was particular about food, drink and clothing. He was completely different from his unruly daughter.
His thoughts quickly returned to Teng Yunwu, and he wanted to get the horse as a gift to his daughter as soon as possible.
He just wanted to make her happy quickly.
