Chapter 59
Ye Tianhui looked at him silently, wondering whether she should say hello or ask when she would go to pay her mother a visit?
Who knew that at this time, Ye Wenyin happened to come downstairs.
As soon as Ye Wenyin saw Ye Lixuan, she hurried forward and said in surprise, "Daddy, you're back!"
Ye Lixuan nodded: "Yeah, I just got home on today's flight."
Ye Wenyin had already taken the luggage from Ye Lixuan's hand. "Daddy, didn't you say you wouldn't arrive until tomorrow? I was thinking of picking you up, why are you here so early?"
Ye Lixuan: "There's a change of plan."
Ye Wenyin: "It's great that Daddy can come back early. Grandpa said that everyone should go over for dinner tonight. We are all here."
Ye Lixuan nodded.
Then he looked at Ye Tianhui.
Ye Tianhui ignored it and pretended not to see it.
Ye Wenyin smiled again and said, "Daddy, Zhifan and Jiayue might come over tomorrow and we can all play together. Grandpa also said you happened to be away."
After hearing this, Ye Lixuan understood that Gu Zhihan was probably going to have a formal talk with Ye Wenyin.
He then said, "I'm taking a day off tomorrow, so I'll be at home."
He also hoped to finalize it as soon as possible so that Ye Wenyin could get engaged smoothly and he would no longer have any responsibilities to fulfill. At that time, Ye Wenyin would also move out.
Ye Wenyin smiled and said, "That's fine!"
She accompanied Ye Lixuan into the house. Ye Lixuan looked at Ye Tianhui and was about to speak when Ye Wenyin suddenly remembered, "Oh, Daddy, when you called me a few days ago, didn't you mention that it was cold over there and that it might snow? Did it really snow?"
Ye Lixuan shook his head: "No."
Ye Wenyin: "That's good, otherwise I'd be really worried that you'd catch a cold. You're so busy attending meetings, I guess you don't have time to buy warm clothes."
Ye Tianhui watched from the side. They reunited after a long separation, and the father was loving and the daughter was filial. It was a beautiful scene.
She turned around and went back to her room.
He actually called Ye Wenyin while on a business trip?
Very good, very good.
It seems that he is very nice to her, but in fact he only cares about his daughter.
********
That night, everyone went to the old man's room for dinner. Old Man Ye talked about going to the Jockey Club today. He had met Mr. Feng there and learned about the arrangements for this year's Jockey Club. He said that there would be major adjustments to the prize money.
When Ye Tianhui heard this, she remembered what Gu Shizhang said and naturally became interested.
The other people in the family had heard some of the rumors, but they were not sure what they were talking about, so they all pricked up their ears to listen.
Mr. Ye then told everyone in detail that the Hong Kong Jockey Club was preparing to adjust its plan. This season, the prize money for the races would be increased significantly, reaching an all-time high of HK$700 million.
HK$700 million?
When this number came out, everyone was a little shocked. It was a huge sum of money no matter who looked at it.
Ye Lizhen said solemnly, "Never before has the prize money for a single season increased so much. This increase has already set a historical record."
Mr. Ye nodded: "Yes, it has never been this high."
He looked at Ye Tianhui for a moment: "Tianhui, what do you think about this matter?"
Ye Tianhui said, "Although I'm new in Hong Kong, I often read economic newspapers and periodicals, so I have a general idea of the current situation. The Jockey Club's substantial increase in prize money isn't specifically for the horse racing industry, but is likely intended to boost the economy, boost public enthusiasm, and create an economic hotspot."
Upon hearing this, Old Master Ye was filled with admiration and said with a smile, "Although Tianhui has only just arrived in Hong Kong, her dedication to research is truly worth learning from. You see, she now has a thorough understanding of Hong Kong's economic situation. She has a keen sense of smell!"
Since he praised Ye Tianhui so much, everyone naturally had different thoughts.
Ye Tianhui was very calm about this. In fact, it was Gu Shizhang who reminded her. She was really only thinking about making money and hadn't thought much about it for the time being.
Gu Shizhang reminded her, and after thinking about it carefully based on the news she usually read, she roughly understood what was going on.
Mr. Ye sighed, "The financial crisis of the past few years has impacted horse racing betting. Hong Kong horse racing is at a historic low. This Jockey Club is also trying to encourage betting and revitalize the Hong Kong economy. They've specifically proposed this new prize pool model, featuring various races, distance races, and even brand alliance races."
He smiled and said, "Anyway, this race is very diverse. Even if a horse isn't in the top three, as long as it works hard, anything is possible. This is also to encourage more horses to participate. In this situation, whether our Ye family's horses can come out on top depends on this one."
Ye Wenbin's eyes lit up next to him.
What does this news mean? It means that horse racing fans may get a bigger share! It’s time for everyone to have a share in the national carnival!
He asked carefully, "This news hasn't been released yet, right?"
Mr. Ye said, "It's only a couple of days away. The horse racing in Hong Kong is about to heat up. You all need to be prepared."
Then he asked again, "Tianhui, Wenyong, what's the situation with your horses now?"
Ye Wenyong hurriedly talked about the situation of the horses under his command. It was obvious that Ye Wenyong had quite a few good horses under his command.
The most promising one among them is a horse called "Xuan Tie Shi Si". The horse was introduced from the UK a few years ago. It performed well in last year's Hong Kong season. After that, it went to the United States to participate in two international competitions. Now it has regrouped and returned to Hong Kong.
Old Master Ye was obviously very satisfied. He nodded slightly and then asked about Ye Tianhui.
Ye Tianhui briefly explained her situation. Ye Wenjing, who was standing next to her, was surprised. "That Hell King? That horse is always the most trouble-making!"
When he said this, someone burst out laughing.
Someone else said, "Even Wen Jing knows his name. This must be a truly exceptional horse!"
Ye Tianhui didn't bother to pay attention to this and briefly explained the situation of the Hell King to Old Man Ye: "In short, I think this horse has great potential, it just needs conditioning and training."
Old Master Ye frowned slightly. "How much time do you need to train a horse like this? The racing season is almost here. Is this horse still viable?"
Ye Tianhui said, "Grandpa, I have a few horses now. One was bought from a friend with my own money. One is the Hell King, which I bought from a slaughterhouse for a small price. Another is the pregnant Black Rose. These are the only horses I have now. They are all weak and remnant. I will use them first if they are good or not. If they can produce results, I will be happy. If they can't, then I can't do anything about it."
Gu Shizhang gave Longguang to Ye Tianhui at that time and specially changed Longguang's temporary name. At that time, he wanted to avoid attracting attention before the season and wanted to keep a backup plan. Even in subsequent training, he tried to keep it confidential.
Therefore, the Ye family now only knows that Ye Tianhui got a horse, but they don’t know how much money he spent on it or where it came from. As for the outside world, it is even more hidden.
Even Mr. Ye doesn't know the specific situation of Longguang.
When Mr. Ye heard this, he frowned even more and looked at Ye Wenyong beside him with a sullen face.
Ye Wenyong was stunned.
He looked at Ye Tianhui, somewhat unbelieving. They were all family, so why were they talking to each other like that?
If it was said that I excluded her, then I did exclude her, and the Black Rose was indeed thrown to her because no one else wanted it, but... I only did three points, why did she exaggerate it to ten points?
This will leave him speechless!
Seeing this, the people around also lowered their heads slightly in embarrassment.
This was an offense, this was a complaint, a very straightforward and undisguised complaint, just short of pointing directly at Ye Wenyong's nose and saying, "He excluded me."
If she had been more tactful, Ye Wenyong wouldn't have been so speechless.
Ye Lizhen frowned even more and looked at Ye Lixuan.
Under normal circumstances, wouldn't the father come out and say something?
Who knew that Ye Lixuan's expression was as normal as ever, as if he hadn't heard anything and had no intention of asking.
this……
In the midst of everyone's embarrassment, Mr. Ye asked, "What's going on?"
Under the majesty of Mr. Ye, Ye Wenyong hurriedly said, "This, this is what Tianhui wanted to buy herself!"
He quickly organized his words, "Grandpa, according to the regulations, Tianhui has some funds that she can use. She also wanted to buy that horse herself. She naturally has her own ideas, and I can't interfere with what she wants to buy... As for Black Rose, I did give her one, but Grandpa, Black Rose is a top-notch horse. You saw how she performed last time."
Old Master Ye didn't want to hear his explanation: "So you only gave Tianhui the pregnant Black Rose? The competition is less than a month away, she has the money but no horse. You want her to buy a horse today, fight tomorrow, and win the championship the day after tomorrow?"
Anyone who knows the business knows that this is absolutely impossible. Training a racehorse is a slow and meticulous process that takes time.
Investing money may not necessarily produce results, especially when there is only a month left.
Having been exposed, Ye Wenyong had no choice but to continue to make amends: "Grandpa, but Black Rose is also a good horse and a famous general. Everyone saw Black Rose's potential at the time. Tianhui is also very good at this horse."
Ye Tianhui watched coldly and naturally saw Ye Wenyong's helplessness at the moment.
Yes, she did it on purpose. Since she had excluded him, no matter if it was one point or ten points, it was still exclusion, so she just reported him to the police!
Besides, the old man might not be unaware of it and just pretending to be stupid. Now let’s expose it to the public.
In this awkward moment, Ye Lizhen sighed and mock-criticized, "Wen Yong, how do you do things? Since Tianhui is in charge of the horse business, you should at least give her some good horses!"
At this time, Ye Tianhui said to Old Man Ye, "Grandpa, don't be angry. Brother Wen Yong is thinking about me. Anyway, there are only a few horses. I will just do some casual work on them as a practice. I know he is worried that I will feel pressured. He means well."
Good intentions...
Good intentions as hell!
When Ye Wenyong heard this, he felt that Ye Tianhui had said all the good and bad words.
But at this point, he had no choice but to reluctantly accept the words and go downhill: "I did want to let Tianhui practice first. The horses under my command are already managed by professional horse assistants. If I rashly transfer them, those racehorses may not be able to adapt."
Ye Tianhui also said: "Brother Wen Yong is very thoughtful, Grandpa. This matter is indeed not Brother Wen Yong's fault."
Ye Wenyong: "..."
He didn't know what to say. What kind of face did this young lady have?
Seeing this, the old man smiled and said, "Tianhui is still sensible."
Ye Lizhen echoed from the side, "Yes, yes, Tianhui is sensible, much better than the other children in the family..."
But he was thinking in his heart that this little girl was not a good person. He knew it from the beginning, and now it seems that she is indeed not a good person.
Ye Tianhui naturally noticed Ye Lizhen's thoughts.
But why should she be a good person to those who are not good people? She was quite happy to see their embarrassed looks.
The topic passed, and Old Master Ye mentioned that several younger generations of the Gu family would come over the next day, and asked the Ye family to entertain them at home. Everyone naturally agreed.
After a while, the younger generation dispersed one after another, and Ye Tianhui was kept by the old man to talk.
Ye Lixuan was about to stay, but the old man said, "You go back first."
Ye Lixuan glanced at Ye Tianhui next to him and said, "Dad, Tianhui and I have something to talk about later."
Ye Tianhui pretended not to hear this.
The old man directly blasted Ye Lixuan: "Go away, your daughter is so old, why does she need you to accompany her? Does she need you to accompany her? I can't eat her!"
Seeing this, Ye Lixuan had no choice but to stand up and said, "Dad, she's still young and was too naughty just now. But she didn't mean to report Wen Yong, she just couldn't keep it to herself."
The old man waved his hand, signaling him to leave. Ye Lixuan looked at Ye Tianhui, but saw that her face was tense and she looked very cold, so he had to leave first.
Ye Wenyin actually wanted to stay here. She wanted to hear what the old man had to say, but there seemed to be no reason for her to join in the conversation, so she had to follow Ye Lixuan back.
Ye Tianhui looked at the backs of the father and daughter and felt sour.
Old Master Ye took a sip of the wine and said with a smile, "What's wrong? Did you have a quarrel with your dad?"
Ye Tianhui looked very calm: "No."
Old Master Ye shook his head and sneered, "Look at him. He's afraid I'll say something bad about you. He was even trying to make amends for you just now! He's just too worried about you!"
Ye Tianhui didn't appreciate it: "He just said it casually, what does it have to do with me?"
Old man: "Yes, he has no brains. You are much better than him. Do you need him to worry about you?"
Ye Tianhui liked to hear this.
This is the dad who holds us back!
The old man sighed, "However, there is no overnight hatred between father and daughter. Don't make such a fuss. Your dad still loves you. He knows that you have suffered in the past and wants to make it up to you. Even though he is sometimes too stubborn and I don't know what he is thinking, he is your father, you-"
Mr. Ye wanted to say, "Please be more tolerant," but he felt something was wrong halfway through his words.
Shouldn't he advise a father to be tolerant of his daughter? Why is he asking a daughter to be tolerant of her father now?
He frowned and said, "Please be more considerate of him."
Be considerate of him?
He is truly the best young master in the world!
Ye Tianhui: "Grandpa, he is my father. If I want to learn to be considerate, he must first set an example for me. If the top beam is not straight, the bottom beam will be crooked. If he can't learn it, don't expect me to."
Old Master Ye was stunned for a moment, then he couldn't help laughing: "You, you, why did your father give birth to you!"
**********
Ye Tianhui knew that she didn't need to bother with Ye Lixuan, but why didn't he call her when he was on a business trip, but called Ye Wenyin instead?
Ye Wenyin said that in front of him on purpose just to show off.
He gave Ye Wenyin the opportunity to show off, so of course she felt uncomfortable.
To her, any mercy he showed to Ye Wenyin was glaring!
What's more, it's such a warm and caring concern, it's amazing!
Ye Tianhui gritted her teeth, thinking that it would be better to break up, and break up quickly.
Who knew that when she went upstairs and was about to return to her room, Ye Lixuan called her.
Ye Tianhui was not very happy: "What's the matter?"
Ye Lixuan: "There is something I need to talk to you about."
Ye Tianhui said unhappily, "Daddy, we don't have anything to talk about."
Ye Lixuan: "Come to my study for a moment."
Ye Tianhui: "Daddy, it's so late, I'm already eighteen years old, is it appropriate for you to ask me to go to your study room at every turn? Even if you are your biological daughter, you should still be polite, right?"
A hint of embarrassment appeared in Ye Lixuan's eyes and he frowned.
Seeing him like this, Ye Tianhui smiled. She waved at him deliberately: "I'm going back to my room first, good night!"
She went back to her room and never came out again.
If you don’t want to pay attention, you don’t want to pay attention!
The next morning at breakfast, Ye Lixuan seemed to want to talk to her, but she kept a cold face and refused to communicate.
What is there to talk about? I can't give her the shop now.
Humph, she doesn’t want it anymore!
——If you really want to give it to her, just take it out and put it next to her. Why bother talking?
After breakfast, everyone went to the old man's place, but saw that several younger generations of the Gu family had already arrived, including Gu Zhihan, Gu Jiayue, and two other sons of the Gu family.
Ye Tianhui looked at one of them and felt that he looked familiar. Then she heard the introduction that his name was Gu Zhiming.
She immediately remembered that he was the host of a horse racing program. His comments were humorous and his views were sharp and unique. She had also read some of his comments, and he did have some stuff.
She couldn't help but feel curious, so she looked at him several more times, thinking that she could chat with him later when she had time.
At this time, Gu Zhiming happened to look over. When their eyes met, Gu Zhiming chuckled at Ye Tianhui.
Ye Tianhui nodded slightly and smiled at him friendly with her lips pursed.
At this time, Gu Zhihan, who was talking to Ye Wenyin, secretly looked in the direction of Ye Tianhui.
Although he hasn't seen Ye Tianhui recently, he has actually been secretly paying attention to her. He knows that Ye Tianhui won and has now taken over the work of Ye's Horse Service Company.
He was naturally happy for Ye Tianhui, and felt that he had a good vision. She was indeed destined to shine.
Before coming, he had talked with his mother, and his mother also admired Ye Tianhui very much. After hearing this, he felt relieved and felt that most of the obstacles to marrying Ye Tianhui had been removed.
He thought that he must make things clear with Ye Tianhui this time. It would be best to finalize the matter and then ask Old Master Ye for his opinion. If Old Master Ye had no objection, then the matter would be done.
He came here today with Gu Jiayue. After they came, Gu Jiayue pulled Ye Wenyin to talk affectionately. He had no choice but to pretend to talk to Ye Wenyin, but his eyes were always on Ye Tianhui.
At the beginning, Ye Tianhui didn't pay attention to him, which made him feel a little disappointed.
But soon he felt that Ye Tianhui's gaze seemed to be directed in his direction and looked at him several times.
This feeling of being secretly watched by his beloved made Gu Zhihan blush, and his ears felt hot. He felt as if this was the little tacit understanding between him and Ye Tianhui in public.
He hid his thoughts more and more, secretly looking at Ye Tianhui.
At this moment, he saw Ye Tianhui actually pursed her lips and smiled in his direction.
That smile, so clear and gentle, made his heart beat faster instantly.
She smiled, she smiled to herself.
It seemed that she also knew what today's gathering was for. Their matter was about to be finalized, and she was willing.
Gu Zhihan felt as if he was floating in the air. Happiness flooded his brain, making him almost lose the ability to think.
It's all so wonderful!
Just at this moment, the second wife came over. She greeted everyone with a smile, chatted with everyone for a few words, and suggested that the young people go to the garden to play ball.
The old man nodded and said, "Yes, go play tennis. I find it interesting watching you play."
After the old man said this, everyone went out to the garden, and Ye Tianhui naturally followed him out.
Ye Family Garden is fully equipped with various sports facilities, including online games and a swimming pool. However, the weather is a little cold now, and the water in the swimming pool is gone. There are only a few scattered leaves, which rustle in the wind.
Tennis is a doubles game, two against two. When forming teams, Gu Zhihan volunteered to be in the same group with Ye Tianhui. Ye Tianhui didn't have any objection to this, as it was just a game of tennis after all.
Now she doesn't hate Gu Zhifan that much, and she doesn't want to beat him up when she sees him.
The opposing team happened to be Ye Wenyin and Gu Zhiming.
Ye Wenyin changed into her sportswear and said with a smile, "Tianhui, can you play tennis?"
Ye Tianhui: "I've never played before. Could you please tell me the rules?"
When she said this, everyone looked at her in confusion.
If she doesn't know the rules, why is she playing?
Seeing this, Gu Zhiming smiled and said, "Let me tell you."
Who knew that Gu Zhihan had already volunteered: "It's okay, I'll tell it."
Ye Tianhui naturally didn't care who explained it to her, so Gu Zhihan began to explain the rules of tennis to her. Gu Zhihan spoke eloquently and logically, and he quickly explained the rules to her clearly.
Gu Zhihan: "Did you remember? Is there anything you don't understand?"
Ye Tianhui: "There's nothing I don't understand, let's get started."
She had played table tennis in China. Now she realized that it was just a ball game, with you hitting the ball back and me hitting it back, the only difference being the details of the rules.
Gu Zhihan comforted Ye Tianhui: "Tianhui, this is your first time fighting. It doesn't matter if you lose. Don't worry."
Ye Tianhui looked at Gu Zhihan in confusion: "Lose the fight? Why should I lose?"
The fight hasn't even started yet, and you're already saying she's lost?
Gu Zhiming on the opposite side heard this and smiled: "It doesn't matter, let's just play casually. Friendship comes first, competition comes second."
Seeing this, Ye Wenyin couldn't help but laugh, thinking that these two brothers were quite warm to Ye Tianhui? But that's fine, if she wants to embarrass herself, then let her do whatever she wants!
Of course she was going to win.
At this time, the game began and both sides fought back and forth.
It was obvious that Gu Zhiming wanted to give in to Ye Tianhui, and Gu Zhihan was also a little worried that Ye Tianhui would not be able to fight and lose face.
At the beginning, Ye Tianhui was indeed not very familiar with it, but after a few rounds, she got the hang of it.
She has quick reactions, agility, and amazing jumping ability. It's simply—
So wonderful!
The other people present were naturally not optimistic at first, but after a few rounds, everyone looked at each other in bewilderment.
At first, it seemed like he was pretending not to know the rules, but now his speed and strength are simply professional level!
She is so awesome!
Mr. Ye was also amazed: "Tianhui's ball skills are amazing."
The second wife next to her looked at Ye Tianhui, frowning secretly, but smiled and said, "Yes, she looks really good like this."
Ye Wenyin was even more surprised. She was good at playing tennis, but she found that she was no match for Ye Tianhui on the opposite side. Ye Tianhui had actually learned fake moves very quickly, or suddenly made a backhand slice.
The racket was like a little toy in her hands, and she played it very skillfully. She couldn't even tell when she turned the racket or switched it!
In the end, Gu Zhihan, Gu Zhiming and Ye Wenyin all became her foils, and Ye Tianhui dominated the whole scene alone!
As for the descendants of the Gu and Ye families nearby, they were all dumbfounded. They looked at each other, and no one dared to run over and embarrass themselves.
They are far inferior to Ye Tianhui!
this--
Did she really not understand tennis before?
Although Gu Zhihan became a foil, running around and stumbling, he was very happy and his heart was bursting with joy.
He only thought that Ye Tianhui was good, she was good, she was good, she was the best!
And I am about to date her, that feeling is so happy!
After the match, Ye Tianhui won a great victory. The old man smiled and said, "Tianhui's ball skills are really good. Did you practice it specifically?"
Ye Tianhui smiled and said, "When I was in mainland China, I only played table tennis, not this. But I think the techniques are similar. The key is to test your reaction ability, agility, and speed."
Of course she is not bad at these. Some of the training in her previous life is still engraved in her bones. Once she learns the rules, she will soon become a top master.
Old Master Ye smiled and said, "You all should fight with Tianhui."
His order made everyone a little timid, but there was nothing they could do, so they had to muster up their courage and step forward to fight with Ye Tianhui. Ye Tianhui swung the racket like the wind, with quick reactions, and hit the ball quickly, fiercely and accurately. All the brothers and sisters were beaten to a pulp and wailed in pain.
Ye Lixuan stood in front of the floor-to-ceiling window, and from his angle he could just see the children playing ball.
The most eye-catching person here is naturally Ye Tianhui.
She was wearing a light blue casual sportswear, and her movements were smooth and light as she jumped, like flowing clouds and water, and she looked heroic and free and easy.
This reminded him of that day when she was running by the side of the road.
This little girl is just like this, graceful and lively, full of vitality and overflowing with energy.
When he thought of this, he remembered what Ye Tianhui said that night.
Just as she said that day, she was ambitious, unconcealed, and possessed a sharpness that no one could compete with.
She is like the blue sky and red sun in the cold winter, bright and dazzling, in full swing.
As a result, Ye Lixuan was strangled by a helpless feeling of inferiority.
He thought that Ye Tianhui was right and he was not worthy at all.
Compared to such a daughter, I am so shallow and ignorant, and my vision is so narrow and closed.
I was totally wrong.
In fact, his righteous accusations against her were nothing more than impotent anger.
Because she didn't believe in herself, she used herself, and she was not honest with herself, so she was angry.
He is so selfish. When he gets angry and embarrassed, he starts to speak without thinking and says so many unpleasant things to make himself feel better.
Now, she is angry with herself and ignores herself as her father.
He just looked out the window, frowning and thinking, how can he make his daughter happy now?
