Chapter 49
At this moment, in another room across the corridor, Ye Tianhui was talking on the phone with Gu Shizhang.
Gu Shizhang asked about her inter-class competition, and Ye Tianhui gave him a brief introduction.
Gu Shizhang said coldly: "You never told me."
Ye Tianhui was surprised: "Really? But you didn't ask!"
Gu Shizhang chuckled softly, "You never tell me anything. When you're with me, all you think about is eating. You keep the important matters secret."
Ye Tianhui was increasingly surprised and couldn't understand: "But why would I tell you all this? Do I look like someone who would nag you about this for no reason?"
When you go out on a date, you just talk about love and romance, why bring up these things?
Gu Shizhang: "You just don't trust me and don't want to mention it to me."
Just like a deer born in the wilderness, it looks tame and well-behaved, opening its clear eyes and looking at you innocently, as if you are its only one.
In fact, it can turn around and run away, and kick you before leaving!
Ye Tianhui was helpless: "Don't always escalate the issue and put flattery on me. You say that about me, but what about you? Have you told me anything? Have you told me about your story? Didn't you tell me that I forced you to ask?"
Gu Shizhang was silent for a moment.
He said tentatively, "You can ask me any questions you have."
Ye Tianhui simply replied: "I don't have anything to ask you!"
Gu Shizhang: “…”
Ye Tianhui lay down on the soft sofa, admiring the beautiful view outside the window, and said lazily, "Shi Zhang, I'm still young and have a long life ahead of me. We don't plan to get married for now. You don't need to know so much. I just need to know that we are in love."
This was the truth. She didn't want to care about Gu Shizhang's identity and background.
It’s not that she is so stupid that she doesn’t know how old her boyfriend is when she is in a relationship, but that she doesn’t care.
Who is Gu Shizhang? He is the man who walked out of the stable on that sunny afternoon. He has the temperament of a former emperor, which gives her an inexplicable sense of familiarity, but without making her feel on guard and cautious in everything.
For her, this is the right person and the right relationship.
If you knew what Gu Shizhang's parents looked like and what his brothers and sisters' personalities were, it would be boring to see the quarrels between aunts, sisters-in-law, parents-in-law, and daughters-in-law.
She has enough to worry about with the Ye family's affairs, there is no need for her to get involved in another wealthy family gossip.
Gu Shizhang's tone darkened when he heard this: "Oh, so you really just want to play with me and don't want to take responsibility at all?"
Ye Tianhui: "Of course I'm serious. Am I the kind of person who plays with feelings?"
Gu Shizhang: "Aren't you?"
Ye Tianhui: "Don't be like this, I swear, I am serious about you now, I am in a serious relationship with you, and I will never be fickle, but you have to know that not every relationship will eventually lead to marriage. I can't guarantee anything else, right?"
In her previous life, ordinary women had to get married and have children. This was the normal way, but she didn't. She was 25 years old and still hadn't married or had children, but no one said anything to her.
When her general father was alive, he tried his best to protect her and provide a good life for her. Even after her general father passed away, her princess mother gave her great support. Of course, her outstanding achievements also gave her the confidence to live the life she wanted.
If she were to live her life over again, although she felt that she could consider a different life, enter into marriage, or even experience the feeling of having her own bloodline, she felt that there was no need to rush.
Life is still long in this world, so she doesn't need to be too anxious.
She sighed and added, "As for the rest, when I'm older and we both want to settle down, if we still think each other is suitable, then we can talk about marriage."
Gu Shizhang's voice was very cold: "Ye Tianhui, you are just heartless."
Ye Tianhui was helpless: "Why are you like this? I didn't realize you were such a carefree person before. Do I have to promise you a lifetime just because I let you kiss me? How about this——"
Gu Shizhang gritted his teeth: "What?"
She suggested, "Can I kiss you again and we'll be even?"
Gu Shizhang: “…”
The phone fell silent for a moment.
The man's breathing was heavy and slow.
Ye Tianhui could feel the oppressive feeling as heavy as a mountain, which made her feel a little breathless.
She felt a little guilty, but more helpless: "Then what are you going to do?"
Gu Shizhang finally spoke at this time: "No need."
Afterwards, he said in a calm, almost deliberate voice, "By the way, when you and I were hanging out that day, I remember you said you wanted your driver to take you there. So, what happened later? Did the driver find out about our date?"
Ye Tianhui: "It wasn't sent by the driver."
Gu Shizhang: "Oh? Who?"
Ye Tianhui: "Oh, it's just a——"
She didn't really want to mention it, lest Gu Shizhang think too much, but since he had asked, she didn't want to hide anything from him, so she admitted, "It's that Gu Zhihan!"
After these words were spoken, there was a subtle silence on the phone.
Afterwards, Gu Shizhang said, "Oh, it's him. Why did you ask him to deliver it?"
Ye Tianhui: "He said it was on his way. If it was on his way, then let him take it. It's not a big deal."
Gu Shizhang: "Didn't you hate him before?"
Ye Tianhui: "There are many people I hate. I don't want to hit someone who smiles at me. He might have some tricks up his sleeve. I'll just let him do whatever he wants. I'm not stupid. I won't fall for his tricks."
Who knew that after she said this, Gu Shizhang just said "hmm" lightly.
Obviously, he was in a bad mood and was probably angry with her.
This made her feel a little depressed, and she suddenly thought of He Qingxu from her previous life.
He Qingxu expressed his love to her so passionately, and she also thought He Qingxu was a good person. She had already made an agreement with the princess's mother that she would marry He Qingxu in the future.
However, He Qingxu turned around and married someone else.
She acted as if nothing had happened, but she couldn't help feeling a little sad.
There was no reason, she was betrayed. Her pride made her not want to know the reason. Betrayal was betrayal, even if he had ten thousand difficulties, it was still betrayal.
She will not forgive the person who betrayed her, but she will not completely overturn that person's character because of this emotional betrayal.
In fact, at this point, she had more or less guessed the reason, but she just couldn't confirm it.
At this moment, listening to the breathing sound coming from the receiver, she asked, "Are you so unhappy?"
Gu Shizhang said in a low voice: "It's nothing, just a little sad."
Ye Tianhui's heart softened, and she sighed softly: "How can I make you not sad? I feel bad when you are like this. I am wrong, right?"
She was also a little confused.
When Gu Shizhang heard her say that, he smiled.
That smile contained a lot, such as helplessness, resignation to fate, and melancholy.
He spoke again in a low but gentle voice: "Tianhui, I am a little unhappy and indeed a little disappointed, but I can understand and accept what you said to me today. After all, you are still young and have just returned to your ancestral home. Your family must have some plans for you, and I shouldn't-"
He paused before saying, "I shouldn't have thought about restraining you so early, so I agree with you. We can take it slow. I'm not in a hurry."
Ye Tianhui only felt that the voice was really mellow and moving, like the gurgling of water, which evoked some memories of her in the past years.
Those memories that she slowly sealed away in the midst of the war.
She whispered, "Actually, I'm not telling you this today because I'm wary of you... I think you're pretty good. No one else I know is as outstanding as you. You've been the best to me..."
As she was talking, her nose suddenly felt sore. She liked him and didn't want to lose him.
But she didn't know how to keep him.
Gu Shizhang chuckled and said lightly, "It's nothing. I understand. Let's not talk about these unpleasant things. Just like you said, just take it slow."
Ye Tianhui said "hmm" softly.
Gu Shizhang smiled and changed the subject: "Oh, I forgot to mention that the belt you gave me is very good. I've already used it. I also like the tie. I happened to be going out for something today, so I wore it. It suits me very well."
Ye Tianhui: "Really? Do you like it?"
She then remembered that her father had also worn a tie this morning and he seemed very satisfied.
It seems she made a good choice and everyone likes it.
Gu Shizhang nodded: "Well, it's very good. How did you choose such a suitable tie for me?"
Speaking of this, Ye Tianhui felt somewhat accomplished. She smiled and said, "Of course I asked the counter staff. They recommended them to me, and I picked out several!"
Gu Shizhang remained calm: "Oh? Not only did you give it to me, but you also gave it to other men?"
Ye Tianhui couldn't say it directly, so she said implicitly: "Because it's my dad's money, it's a waste if I don't spend it. Anyway, I bought a lot of gifts. I chose the others casually, but I put a lot of thought into the tie."
Only Daddy and Gu Shizhang are worried, but in front of Gu Shizhang, it is better not to mention Daddy, otherwise who knows if this man is narrow-minded.
Gu Shizhang understood after hearing her evasive tone.
He touched the tie again, and thinking that it was Ye Lixuan's money, he didn't seem to have any right to be picky or jealous.
He should be thankful that at least she picked out gifts of different styles, and it seemed that she had put a lot of thought into the gifts for everyone.
Even if she took two identical ones at once, would he really bother with her?
He recalled Ye Lixuan's evaluation of Ye Tianhui: evil, scheming, obsessed with money, unlearned, ambitious, vulgar and violent...
In fact, Ye Lixuan has only just started now.
After two lifetimes, he has to accept his fate by meeting someone like Ye Tianhui, right?
***************
The next day was the third inter-class competition. Ye Tianhui felt that the atmosphere in the Ye family was somewhat different from before. Someone must be watching her every move. The disciples often came to chat with her, and their words were cautious, but there was a hint of temptation in them. They obviously hoped to get information from her, so she naturally kept it secret.
As for this class competition, she had already made up her mind and set up the game, and now she just had to wait and see the outcome.
However, she likes to look at things from a long-term perspective. If a person does not plan for the future, he will have immediate worries. The collusion between Ye Lizhen and Ye Wenyin is ultimately annoying. If she wants to deal a fatal blow to Ye Wenyin, she must cut off the source of the problem.
She asked the driver to go out to the street, but after arriving on the street, she asked the driver to go back by himself and she wandered around the street by herself.
After strolling around for about half an hour, she bought some supplements for the elderly, facial oils, vanishing creams, etc., as well as plasters for treating back pain. Finally, she bought a few books for children. The last time she went to the dormitory, she saw a few old comic books on the desk next to Xiaoyuer.
In short, I bought a lot and then carried them to the hut.
Now that the weather is cold, the doors and windows of the huts are blocked with rags and old newspapers. Along the winding stone road are bamboo poles, all tied together with wire, with colorful clothes hanging on them, dripping with water.
From their clothes, we can see that people here have started working one after another, and some young people's clothes have added a bit of fashionable Hong Kong style. It seems that they are gradually starting to integrate into the life here.
Ye Tianhui found Jiang Lingfeng's hut and saw Jiang Lingfeng's grandmother hanging clothes with Xiao Yuer helping her.
Xiao Yuer saw Ye Tianhui first, and her eyes lit up: "Sister Tianhui, Sister Tianhui!"
Grandma Jiang Lingfeng also noticed it immediately and laughed: "Tianhui is here, come in and sit down——"
Then he shouted again: "A Feng, Tian Hui is here to see you!"
Ye Tianhui walked forward, smiled, took Xiao Yuer's hand, and continued talking to the old lady. At this time, Jiang Lingfeng came out.
Jiang Lingfeng was wearing a brand new suit, which looked newly made, and the suit looked quite presentable.
She looked at him curiously. He was tall and thin, with a straight back. His eyes were deep and beautiful, but they were a little too narrow and sharp, and his brow bones were a little tight. But now he was wearing a suit and his eyebrows might have been slightly trimmed. He looked different.
Even his slanted eyes were looking slightly upwards, making him dashing and affectionate, less cramped by poverty and more relaxed in the world of pleasure.
Ye Tianhui smiled: "It's quite beautiful!"
When she said this, Jiang Lingfeng pursed his lips a little awkwardly: "Don't make fun of me, I just came back from the set."
As he spoke, he wiped his eyebrows with some force: "They trimmed my eyebrows."
Ye Tianhui hurriedly stopped him: "I think you're doing very well this way, better than before. I didn't even notice. If you were in a Hong Kong movie, you would definitely be a generation of romantic young heroes!"
Jiang Lingfeng blushed: "No way."
Xiao Yuer was very happy. She couldn't wait to tell Ye Tianhui: "My brother is going to be an actor!"
actor?
Ye Tianhui asked curiously, "Did you get any good role?"
Jiang Lingfeng: "Don't listen to the kid's nonsense. Come inside and I'll tell you in detail."
Grandma: "A Feng, pour tea for Tian Hui. I'll cook. It's almost done. Let Tian Hui eat here later."
At the same time, he said to Ye Tianhui: "Tianhui, don't be disgusted, it's all home-cooked food."
Ye Tianhui smiled and said, "Grandma, I won't be polite then. I'll try your cooking skills later."
At one moment, Jiang Lingfeng led Ye Tianhui into the house, and Xiao Yuer happily followed in. Ye Tianhui then took out the various gifts she had brought.
Jiang Lingfeng frowned: "Why are you spending money again? Grandma and Xiaoyuer told us that you brought us a lot of gifts last time you came. Those were too expensive. Why are you bringing us more this time?"
Ye Tianhui said, "I treat you as a friend. If you treat me as a friend, don't think too much. I've returned to my roots and have my dad's secondary card. I buy things for fun. I give gifts to Xiaoyuer and Grandma, and I'm happy to see them happy. If you insist on being polite to me, or if you think I've hurt your pride, then I can't date you anymore."
Jiang Lingfeng understood after hearing this: "I understand."
Ye Tianhui: "Tell me about you, why are you suddenly dressed like this? Did you get a good opportunity?"
Jiang Lingfeng then mentioned that he was originally a supporting actor on the set, acting as a martial arts stunt double. As a result, when he was filming a scene, a friend of the director happened to come to the set to visit, saw him, and was very satisfied with him. He wanted to recruit him to film a martial arts movie.
When Jiang Lingfeng mentioned this, he smiled a little: "This director is a well-known big shot. If I can really get the opportunity this time, then maybe I can become an actor and make more money."
Ye Tianhui was also surprised when she heard this: "You actually have such a good opportunity. You must seize it and practice hard. Maybe in a few days you will become a big star, just like Bruce Lee!"
Jiang Lingfeng: "Those things are too far away. I don't dare to think about them. Right now, I'm just thinking about making money by filming. After I make money, we can hopefully move out and live in a bigger house."
As she said this, Grandma Jiang Lingfeng just walked into the room. Her face was filled with pride as she smiled and said, "Thank God, our ancestors have blessed us. Our Ah Feng has really made it big!"
Xiao Yu'er, holding his chin beside him, was also happy: "When my brother makes money, he will also give Sister Tianhui a gift!"
Everyone laughed when she said this.
Ye Tianhui: "Little Fish is getting cuter and cuter."
Xiaoyuer is obviously much more cheerful than before, and the little girl looks pretty when she smiles.
The meals were homely, but grandma specially made a plate of poached chicken, which was paired with vegetables, rice and some braised dishes, and it tasted quite delicious.
After dinner, Ye Tianhui chatted with the old lady and Xiao Yuer for a while. Seeing that it was getting late, she wanted to leave. Seeing this, the old lady hurriedly asked Jiang Lingfeng to send Ye Tianhui off.
Seeing this, Xiao Yuer jumped up and wanted to send it off, but was held down by the old lady.
The two men walked out of the shack and onto the narrow bluestone street. There were shacks crowded together on both sides of the road. There were dogs barking, children crying, the crackling sound of oil pans, and the sounds of TV dramas. It was quite lively.
Jiang Lingfeng: "Our lunch is simple, I'm sorry to have troubled you."
Ye Tianhui smiled, looking back at the dim light coming through the window of the hut. She imagined the warm laughter inside and said with a smile, "I think this is great. The whole family is working together, full of hope."
She looked at Jiang Lingfeng: "You can definitely make them live a good life."
The Ye family's house was naturally spacious and bright, with luxurious furniture, exquisite tableware and extravagant food inside, but it lacked a bit of the everyday world and the warmth of a family, and was filled with the gossip of a wealthy family.
She likes Jiang Lingfeng's grandmother and also likes Jiang Lingfeng's sister Xiaoyuer.
This kind of love is like in countless evenings, she pulled the reins, looked back at the distant village, and saw the smoke curling over there.
That was another world that did not belong to her. She envied it, but it was also the world she chose to give up from the very beginning.
Jiang Lingfeng looked at her sideways: "How have you been lately? Is everything going well?"
Ye Tianhui said: "It's hard to say whether it's good or bad, so let it be."
She didn't hide anything as she gave a brief account of her situation in the Ye family. "In a family like this, you're sailing against the current. If you don't advance, you're going to retreat. If I don't work hard to calculate others, I'll be stepped on. Now I'm striving to win the third inter-class competition. Then I can climb up and stand on the top. Then I'll be the only one stepping on others. There's no reason for others to bully me."
Jiang Lingfeng looked at her silently. In the dim light, he saw a smile in her eyes, but her expression was cold.
He had always known her, just as he knew himself.
Because we are climbing out of the mud, we have to work hard and use up every last bit of our strength to climb up. Only by climbing up can we survive and have the opportunity to get more.
But what Ye Tianhui was talking about was another world after all. He didn't understand it, and he couldn't help her much.
So after a long silence, he finally said, "What can I do for you?"
Ye Tianhui chuckled: "Ling Feng, I don't come to you for no reason. I came to see you because I do have something I hope you can help me with. However, seeing your current situation, you want to focus on your acting career, and I'm afraid I'll delay you."
Jiang Lingfeng understood immediately: "It's nothing, just tell me what's going on, don't overthink it."
He later explained, "Although I'm in the entertainment industry now, it's difficult to say what's going on in this circle. The relationships are complicated and intricate, and you still need someone to back you up. For example, when I was a stunt double, I had to conquer the mountain and follow the right big brother. And I'm still in touch with my former brothers."
After hearing this, Ye Tianhui understood that the Hong Kong entertainment industry was more chaotic than she had imagined.
Even if he goes to film, he still has to get involved in some things.
Hong Kong is like this, a big melting pot, and no one can stay out of it.
She immediately said without hesitation, "I want to find someone. It's not difficult at all. I can ask anyone to help me find one. But because it involves an important matter, I don't want the Ye family to know, and I don't want the news to leak out. So, for me, you are the safest person."
Jiang Lingfeng: "Tell me who you're looking for."
Ye Tianhui: "That man is a snakehead, operating in the suburbs of Yuen Long. He's known as Li San."
Jiang Lingfeng: "Okay, I'll help you find it. I'll tell you when I have news."
Ye Tianhui smiled: "Don't worry, the key is to be careful and never let the news leak out."
Jiang Lingfeng: "I understand."
***********
Ye Tianhui felt relieved to leave the task of finding Li San to Jiang Lingfeng. After all, he was just an insignificant little person, and the Ye family would not pay attention to such a small matter.
Obviously, Ye Lizhen and Ye Wenyin are now focused on the inter-class competition on the next day.
So the next morning, the atmosphere in the Ye family was very different. Even Sister Li felt it and was extra careful when preparing breakfast.
The dining table was set with a complete set of exquisite and gorgeous Swedish porcelain. The breakfast was varied, combining Chinese and Western food, including fruit tarts, steamed dumplings, radish cakes, shrimp dumplings, as well as freshly baked English scones and Scottish bread.
Ye Lixuan, Ye Wenyin and Ye Tianhui were all silent, lowering their heads to eat.
While eating, Ye Tianhui suddenly heard Ye Lixuan say, "Breakfast can be more varied."
When he said this, Ye Tianhui and Ye Wenyin all stopped what they were doing and looked over at him.
Ye Lixuan held a knife and fork in his hand with an elegant posture.
He said, "I'm talking about Tianhui. Tianhui eats fried dough sticks every morning."
Ye Wenyin glanced at Ye Tianhui silently, then lowered her head again.
Ye Tianhui looked at the fried dough sticks cut into segments on her plate: "Yeah, I think this tastes delicious."
In Hong Kong, they call fried dough sticks "fried oil ghosts", which is not a nice name, but it tastes very good and she likes it.
Ye Lixuan: "Don't eat too much. You're still growing, so you need to diversify your nutrition."
Ye Tianhui: “…”
She said sullenly, "I like to eat everything. I'm not picky about food."
But in my heart I thought that he was becoming more and more like the prince's tutor.
Ye Lixuan: "Do you drink milk every night?"
Ye Tianhui: "Drank it."
Ye Lixuan nodded: "Your physical examination results came out yesterday, I took a look."
Ye Tianhui raised her eyebrows in surprise.
She did have a physical examination two days ago, but she didn't care.
She looked at Ye Lixuan puzzledly: "What's wrong? What's wrong with me?"
As soon as these words came out, Ye Wenyin's eyes immediately swept over.
Ye Lixuan said: "No, I just think you can add some nutrition."
Hearing this, Ye Tianhui looked at Ye Wenyin beside her: "I'm sorry to disappoint you, I'm not sick."
Ye Wenyin's face instantly turned embarrassed: "What do you mean by that?"
Ye Lixuan: "Tianhui, don't change the subject."
When he said that, Ye Wenyin opened her lips, wanting to seek justice for herself, but it seemed like there was nothing to say.
Ye Lixuan's meaning was very clear. He only cared about the questions he wanted to ask. As for the rest, they were just childish quarrels, which he ignored.
Ye Wenyin froze for a moment and could only lower her head and continue eating.
Ye Tianhui muttered softly: "Why did I change the subject..."
Ye Lixuan: "My family doctor will come tomorrow and will help you develop a nutrition plan and prepare three scientific meals a day for you."
Ye Tianhui's eyebrows suddenly knotted: "Does this mean that the doctor still has to take care of my meals?"
Ye Lixuan: "I'm not trying to control you, I'm trying to give you scientific and reasonable advice."
After hearing this, Ye Tianhui was silent for a long time, and finally murmured, "So I am now treated like an emperor?"
This was how it was when she was emperor in her previous life. She felt very pitiful and at one point she felt very sympathetic towards the saint who was about to become emperor.
Ye Lixuan: "Let's eat first, and talk about it tomorrow."
Soon, breakfast was over and Ye Tianhui went back to her room to change into her coat. The weather was getting colder, so she had to wear a coat.
She changed her clothes and went downstairs, ready to go to the main house. Today she had to go to Happy Valley with the old man to watch the inter-class match.
When she was going downstairs, she happened to see Ye Lixuan. He was wearing a woolen suit and looked dignified and noble. He was holding a key in his hand. When he saw her coming downstairs, he looked over.
It seems he is waiting for her.
Ye Tianhui: "Hmm?"
Ye Lixuan: "Do you want me to go with you?"
Ye Tianhui smiled when she heard this. She looked at him curiously: "Are you worried about me?"
Ye Lixuan's eyes were full of helplessness: "Can you please speak nicely?"
Ye Tianhui: "I'm confused. If you're worried about me, why do you have to make things difficult for me so early in the morning? Can't you just make me feel better?"
Ye Lixuan: "Shouldn't you adjust your living habits?"
Ye Tianhui: "I'm happy, I'm happy."
Ye Lixuan: “…”
He took a deep breath.
He remembered that she looked so obedient a few days ago, but then she turned around and started to confront him.
Ye Tianhui looked at his helpless expression and said with a smile: "Forget it, don't think too much, just go to class."
He has two classes today.
Ye Lixuan raised his eyebrows: "Really not necessary?"
Ye Tianhui sighed: "You look so worried. Are you worried that I'll lose the horse race and burst into tears, embarrassing you?"
Ye Lixuan: "I'm afraid you'll roll up your sleeves and start beating people up in anger."
Ye Tianhui: "Hmm?"
She had threatened to beat him up before, and he obviously remembered it.
Ye Lixuan sighed and said helplessly: "You beat him up, and you are such a stingy person, are you willing to pay for it yourself? You still let me pay for the compensation."
Ye Tianhui: “…”
*********
Led by Mr. Ye, most of the Ye family members followed him to the racecourse, and the convoy was huge.
Obviously, the person in charge of the horse farm did not expect that such an ordinary class competition would attract the entire Ye family.
The Ye family was the top VIP guest at the racecourse, so naturally they did their best to entertain them. The Ye family occupied most of the VIP seats, almost renting the entire place out.
The family lawyer naturally followed along, and the safe that everyone was paying attention to was placed on the seat next to Mr. Ye.
After sitting down, naturally many people looked towards the safe unconsciously.
In fact, since this safe was locked, countless people have tried to figure it out. After all, the code to wealth lies inside it.
The children of the Ye family are not short of big money, nor are they short of small money to spend casually, but they seem to be short of some money that is neither too big nor too small. For example, Ye Wenbin, since he is supporting that little star outside, it is inevitable that he is thinking about getting more money so that he can spend it lavishly outside.
And in this kind of observation, some people's eyes are a little different.
There is no wall that is completely airtight.
Someone in the Ye family already knows this secret.
Ye Wenbin clenched his fists lightly. He was one of them.
After all, the Ye family's house is only that big. Although they live in different rooms, they are still a few steps away from each other. Sometimes when they walk in the garden, everyone can hear some of what everyone is saying. After a while, Ye Wenbin learned the secret.
When he learned the secret, he bet a large sum of money. He wanted to win and make a lot of money.
If he had more free money, he might be able to break away from the Ye family, live in an apartment, and live freely with his beloved. This was Ye Wenbin's beautiful plan.
He raised his eyes and looked at everyone on the field. He knew that no one showed their true feelings on their faces, but in fact, besides himself, there were other people who knew this secret.
Maybe it's his good brother, maybe it's his second uncle who holds the family power, or of course, maybe it's his second wife who doesn't care about worldly affairs.
He didn't really want to know about the family disputes, he just wanted to take the opportunity to make some money.
Ye Tianhui was sitting next to the old man. She naturally felt everyone's gazes, each with their own thoughts. She raised her eyes and glanced at Ye Wenyin who was not far away.
At this time, Ye Wenyin happened to look over. When their eyes met, Ye Tianhui clearly felt the inquiry and vigilance in Ye Wenyin's eyes.
And some certainty.
Obviously, she was confident about the outcome of this inter-class competition.
Ye Tianhui chuckled.
Ye Wenyin frowned slightly, with a hint of doubt in her eyes.
Ye Tianhui stopped looking at her. At this time, the inter-class competition officially started and her gaze shifted to the field.
But everything was ready, the bell rang, and several horses galloped out of the gate at a dazzling speed.
Everyone held their breath and stared at the field, only to see that the one running in the front was none other than the Deep Sea Dancer!
When seeing this scene, Ye Wenbin's eyes flashed with surprise. It seemed that his expectation was true, this horse was strong enough!
Old Master Ye looked at this scene and said to Ye Tianhui with a smile, "How about this horse?"
Ye Tianhui smiled and said, "This horse has a history. His father was once a champion stallion in Kentucky, USA, and his mother also won a Grade 2 race. This horse is tall and handsome, with a lean face and little flesh, and a broad and majestic forehead. He is a good horse."
Mr. Ye: "I think this horse is a third-class horse. Its performance is quite outstanding?"
Ye Tianhui nodded: "Yes."
Mr. Ye: "Besides these, what else is special about this horse?"
Ye Tianhui smiled and said, "Grandpa, look, this horse's ears are very straight, of uniform length, and from its forehead to the tip of its nose it forms a straight line, very light and graceful, and the corners of its mouth are also very deep. This kind of horse looks noble and energetic."
Mr. Ye nodded repeatedly: "Yes, it's not bad, and the performance is good now."
When these two people were talking, everyone else was naturally listening attentively. When they heard this, everyone naturally had their own thoughts.
In fact, everyone had more or less guessed which horse Ye Tianhui bet on, and now this conversation has confirmed it again, it is indeed true.
Ye Wenbin clenched his fists excitedly. He was going to win money, he was going to win money!
Ye Wenyin next to him glanced in the direction of Ye Lizhen. Ye Lizhen remained calm and looked at the field with an expressionless face.
Ye Wenyin withdrew her gaze and pursed her lips.
She was somewhat nervous.
Ye Tianhui's relationship with Ye Lixuan is getting better and better. The father and daughter are obviously becoming closer, and Ye Tianhui's weight in front of the old man and her status in the hearts of everyone in the Ye family are increasing.
She felt that Ye Tianhui, who came from this continent, was like a weed, pushing through the soil and growing vigorously. She tried her best to suppress it, but she couldn't do it at all!
Now, this is the last chance.
Ye Lizhen has already resorted to some means. This is the last chance to suppress Ye Tianhui and absolutely cannot let her get a share of the family's horse racing business!
As she was thinking this, she heard a surprised voice on the field.
She hurried over and was excited at first sight!
It turned out that the deep-sea dancer had been caught up by a horse, and the two horses were now running side by side!
The Deep Sea Dancer that was caught up was a horse named Sky Meteor!
She stared at the situation closely, cheering for Sky Meteor in her heart, but saw that after a few strides, Sky Meteor took the corner from the outside and kept close to Deep Sea Dancer. The Deep Sea Dancer was obviously unable to hold on, but refused to give in. He tried his best to maintain the advantage and at the same time tried to get rid of Sky Meteor.
But the meteor in the sky was no less powerful. After being left behind several times, it kept approaching, trying again and again to surpass the deep-sea dancer.
The two horses were so closely tied that it was difficult to tell the difference between them. They were both trying their best to gallop forward.
This tense game was like a heavy stone hanging on a silk thread. Everyone was on tenterhooks, staring at the field, waiting for the final outcome.
Ye Tianhui suddenly said: "Hey, that's not right..."
Old Master Ye was also staring at the racecourse, watching the two horses locked in a fierce fight. When he heard this, he didn't even take his eyes off the horses and just asked casually, "What's wrong?"
Ye Tianhui: "Why is the Deep Sea Dancer's load a hundred and twenty-four pounds?"
As soon as she said this, everyone present looked over.
Having trouble with weight bearing?
Old Master Ye also felt something was wrong and looked over hurriedly: "What's wrong? Is the weight too heavy?"
Ye Tianhui said expressionlessly, "According to the comprehensive assessment of previous data, the Deep Sea Dancer's load is 113 pounds. How come it suddenly increased by 11 pounds this time?"
Eleven pounds, that's a significant increase in weight.
If two horses are neck and neck, and one horse is carrying eleven pounds more weight, this means that it has to pay a greater price than the other horse, which will seriously affect its sprint speed.
If the horse has never been trained to carry heavy loads, and is suddenly subjected to such a load during a race, it may be completely unable to find its balance during the sprint, which will seriously affect its performance.
Mr. Ye also realized it: "How could this happen?"
He immediately asked the stable manager nearby, who explained, "Just yesterday, we reviewed the historical performance of all the horses in the inter-class races, and today's weigher gave Deep Sea Dancer a new weight of 124 pounds."
He explained, "According to convention, the weighing expert's assessment is based on the performance of all participating horses, the performance of horses in the same distance, the winning and losing distance, the difference in gear, the difference in the track, and also the condition of the forest. Our weighing expert today has a professional certificate from the UK. If Ms. Ye has any questions, she can verify it."
Everyone listening was confused and felt something was strange.
It seems that Ye Tianhui did bet on the Deep Sea Dancer, but it is obvious that the Deep Sea Dancer was rated with a much heavier weight than before.
This weight will obviously change the course of the event.
Ye Wenyin stared at Ye Tianhui from the side.
She actually believed in Ye Lizhen. If Ye Lizhen wanted to do something, he would definitely be able to do it perfectly and would not reveal any flaws.
But she was still worried, worried about failure.
She was afraid that she could not suppress Ye Tianhui and that Ye Tianhui would be dazzling.
She must see Ye Tianhui fail!
Fortunately, as she was waiting with bated breath, she saw Ye Tianhui sigh softly: "Let's see the result."
Ye Wenyin also breathed a sigh of relief.
As a result, everyone present felt complicated, and Ye Wenbin was even more worried. He gritted his teeth and looked at the arena again.
My heart breaks when I see it!
But at this moment, it was the final moment of the sprint. The meteor in the sky suddenly stretched its head forward, used its mouth to tighten its bit, and then suddenly sprinted forward!
That force, that speed—holding your breath and watching the scene in front of you, everything seems to be in slow motion!
Finally, the meteor in the sky touched the finish line ahead of schedule with a half-horse-neck advantage!
Tianji Meteor became the champion of this inter-class competition!
Whistles blew sharply, some people whistled, some cried out in pain, and the trainers ran over happily to greet their horses and jockeys.
And in the stands, everyone in the Ye family looked at the result and had different reactions.
Ye Wenbin stared blankly at the Deep Sea Dancer who missed the first place in the inter-class race by half a neck. He felt his feet getting cold and his whole body was shivering.
His heart was clearly beating, but he felt as if he had lost consciousness.
At this moment, his mind was in chaos and the whole world lost its color!
What did he do? He bet a lot.
In addition to Ye Wenbin, there were naturally other individual disciples whose faces also looked grim. They all placed their bets. They believed in Ye Tianhui and thought that Ye Tianhui could create another miracle. Who could have thought that the final result would be like this!
There were also members of the Ye family who had never placed a bet, but had heard the inside story to some extent - perhaps they had not heard it before, but at least on the way to the racecourse today, this secret seemed to no longer be a secret, and everyone was talking about it privately.
For a moment, everyone looked at Ye Tianhui with sympathy, amusement, schadenfreude, and of course, "As expected."
You know, she is just an ordinary girl from the mainland, and she doesn't know anything about horse racing in Hong Kong. How could she have bet on three inter-class races in a row? Wouldn't that be like becoming a god?
How could there be such a person? Sure enough, she lost the third time.
Facts have proved that even the most talented people can make mistakes. In three inter-class competitions, she miraculously won two, but failed in the last one.
When everyone thought about how Ye Tianhui had suffered such a terrible setback, they were naturally relieved and happy, thinking that he should learn a lesson, otherwise he would be too arrogant.
For a moment, someone looked at Ye Tianhui, but saw that Ye Tianhui was sitting there with no expression, and there was no trace of emotion on her face.
So some people thought to themselves, if they had won, they would have been cheering a long time ago.
At this time, the manager of the horse farm hurried over and reported the results to Mr. Ye, which contained a detailed data report written by the on-site staff based on the competition.
Old Master Ye only glanced at it and then looked at Ye Tianhui: "Tianhui, do you want to take a look?"
