Chapter 62
The next day, Ye Tianhui was taken by Ye Lixuan to pay tribute to her mother.
Before this, Ye Tianhui didn't actually have any feelings for her biological mother, but perhaps because Ye Lixuan mentioned that story, she naturally felt differently.
Her biological mother was the eldest daughter of Peking City at that time, but unfortunately, the world was not good and she died young.
Ye Tianhui couldn't help but think that if she hadn't been pregnant, perhaps there wouldn't have been any accidents later, and she felt guilty towards her.
The Ye family's cemetery is located in the cemetery they run, on a remote hilltop. It took a while to drive there. When we arrived at the cemetery, we saw that it was full of lush trees, which showed that it had been run for many years.
Holding flowers, the father and daughter walked along the quiet forest path. The sunlight poured through the gaps between the towering trees and fell on the shade of the trees. Occasionally, an autumn breeze blew, and fallen leaves floated down.
At the end of the road, there is a tombstone. The white marble tombstone has been carefully repaired and maintained.
Ye Tianhui arranged the fruits and other items, and placed the flowers in front of the tombstone. Ye Lixuan bent down and brushed away the weeds on the side.
Ye Lixuan couldn't help but feel emotional when looking at his late wife's tombstone.
When Gu Shihui passed away, the Ye family sent people to the mainland to pick her up, and brought back Gu Shihui's ashes and the nanny's daughter, Ye Wenyin.
After so many years, Ye Lixuan couldn't help but wonder if his late wife, if she were still alive, would be filled with hatred when she and Ye Wenyin accompanied them all the way to Hong Kong.
If there was still some goodwill towards Ye Wenyin from their years of getting along, it is now completely gone.
He and Ye Wenyin have been father and daughter for so many years, but the affection they have for each other is nothing compared to the short one month they had with their biological daughter. He just favors her and likes her.
Her own daughter, the flesh and blood that her late wife had sacrificed her life for.
Ye Tianhui was a little curious and asked what kind of person her mother was. Ye Lixuan smiled and started talking.
She was well-read, a middle school classmate of his, the daughter of a family close to his, and had a very gentle and docile temperament.
He sighed softly: "Back then I wanted to stay with her, but she said this was a rare opportunity, and that if I left first, she would have a better reason to go there, otherwise she would never have the chance again, so I-"
When he mentioned this, his voice became hoarse: "At that time, I never thought that this separation would last a lifetime."
Ye Tianhui listened and naturally felt that this matter was really regrettable, and couldn't help but imagine what her biological mother might be like.
Her biological mother in her previous life was a princess, a great beauty, both talented and beautiful. Her biological father and mother had a very good relationship, as sweet as honey. In comparison, Ye Lixuan's father was much more pitiful.
She wanted to comfort him, but she couldn't say anything. After all, the dead cannot be resurrected, and so many years have passed.
Instead, Ye Lixuan said, "It's nothing. I'm used to it. Now that you're back, we can recognize each other as father and daughter. Your mother's spirit in heaven must be comforted."
He smiled and said, "I have no intention of marrying again. I will come here after a hundred years and be buried with her. Then we can be together again."
Ye Tianhui: "Then I will come to sweep the graves for you two."
Ye Lixuan raised his eyebrows slightly when he heard this, and then laughed out loud: "Are you so anxious to sweep our graves?"
Ye Tianhui: “…”
She herself found it funny, as if she was hoping for his early death, so she could only say, "A hundred years from now, let's look forward to the future!"
After the father and daughter paid their respects, they stood up and left the cemetery. This cemetery had been there for many years, and there were some leaves on the ground. When they stepped on the soft leaves, they made a rustling sound.
Ye Tianhui thought of Gu Shizhang and mentioned it to Ye Lixuan: "He must be looking at your time. He can do it whenever it's convenient for you."
After hearing this, Ye Lixuan's smile faded and he frowned slightly.
All the recent events have made him somewhat suspicious, and he has a vague suspicion that something bad is going to happen.
But he glanced at his daughter and said nothing, "Okay, I have classes tomorrow morning, so I'll be free in the afternoon. We can have afternoon tea and chat. I'll treat you."
Ye Tianhui: "Okay!"
She remembered that she was about to get her driver's license, and said with a smile: "How about this, I happen to be going to the company tomorrow, and your school is not far from the company. Let's go together, and I will come to your school to find you, and then we can meet him together?"
Ye Lixuan: "This is your first time driving, so I'm always worried. How about this, you take me to school tomorrow, and I can drive with you."
Ye Tianhui: “Yeah.”
As soon as she returned home, Ye Tianhui gave it to Gu Shizhang.
The two of them were in a state of intense affection. Gu Shizhang smiled after receiving the call: "Didn't you say you were going to visit the graves? Why are you back so soon?"
Ye Tianhui was curious: "I didn't even introduce myself, how did you know it was me?"
Gu Shizhang smiled and said, "Intuition."
Ye Tianhui: "Is your intuition so powerful?"
Gu Shizhang chuckled and whispered, "Maybe this is what they call telepathic connection?"
Ye Tianhui smiled and said, "Really? Then——"
Her smiling voice paused subtly.
Gu Shizhang: "Hmm?"
Ye Tianhui: "I suddenly remembered the first time we met."
She half-jokingly said, "The first time I showed up at the stables, you were there taking care of Long Guang. Could it be that you also had a telepathic connection at that time?"
After these words were spoken, there was no sound from the other end of the phone.
Ye Tianhui said nothing and waited patiently.
After a moment, Gu Shizhang finally spoke, his voice extremely serious: "If I say that we are indeed telepathic, would you believe it?"
Ye Tianhui smiled and said, "How come you're so telepathic? You dreamed about me?"
Gu Shizhang: "Yes, I do dream."
Ye Tianhui: "Is it true?"
Gu Shizhang said, "Really."
The voice coming from the phone was a little hoarse, with a hint of extra seriousness.
Ye Tianhui's heart paused slightly, and she subconsciously even breathed softly: "Oh? What did you dream about?"
Gu Shizhang didn't say anything.
Ye Tianhui's heartbeat began to quicken, and some guesses gradually formed in her mind.
He always remembers his past life and dreams about himself?
At this time, Gu Shizhang was heard to say softly, "I dreamed that someone came to steal my horse, so I was on guard day and night. Sure enough, I saw a little thief that day, staring at my horse."
Ye Tianhui: “…”
She snorted: "I'm ignoring you! I'm hanging up now, hanging up the phone, ignoring you!"
Gu Shizhang hurriedly said, "Okay, okay, I'm just kidding, don't be upset."
Ye Tianhui: "You are the little thief, your whole family are little thieves!"
Gu Shizhang chuckled: "I was wrong, I'm sorry, I'm sorry."
Ye Tianhui: "Why are you so frivolous?"
Gu Shizhang: "Just kidding. By the way, did you go to visit the grave today?"
Ye Tianhui also restrained herself: "Yes, I went to visit the graves, and I felt quite touched."
Gu Shizhang: "What do you feel?"
Ye Tianhui thought for a moment and sighed, "Take my parents, for example. I've never actually met them, and they never raised me. I didn't have any deep feelings for them before. But now, I'm beginning to feel that they are very important. They are my parents. Today, at my mother's grave, I actually felt like I could imagine what she looked like."
Gu Shizhang seemed to be silent for a moment before he said, "Maybe this is the blood bond?"
Ye Tianhui: "Probably."
Gu Shizhang: "What about your father? What did you say to him?"
Ye Tianhui sighed: "I mentioned it today. My dad said he would treat you to afternoon tea tomorrow. Is that okay with you?"
Gu Shizhang: "Did he say that?"
Ye Tianhui: "Well, what's wrong? Do you have any questions?"
Gu Shizhang: "No, then where are we meeting tomorrow? I'll pick you up."
Ye Tianhui thought for a moment and said, "No, I just learned how to drive. Daddy said he would go with me. He'd just watch me drive, so I thought I'd take him to school. I'd also go to the company, so it would look like I was going to work. I'll go to school after noon, and Daddy will have finished his class, so I'll go with him. As for the specific location, I'll ask him and see where he chooses."
Gu Shizhang: "Okay, it depends on his preference. I can go anywhere."
Ye Tianhui: "Well, it's too late today. I'll take Dad to school tomorrow and talk to him. When I get to the company, I'll call you. Will you be home?"
Gu Shizhang: "I have nothing to do tomorrow, so I'll stay at home."
Ye Tianhui: "That's good!"
*********
The next day, Ye Tianhui drove to the horse service company and Ye Lixuan accompanied her. When getting in the car, Ye Lixuan was a little worried and gave her a lot of instructions.
Ye Tianhui started the car and said with a smile: "Don't worry, people like me are blessed with good fortune and a long life, nothing will happen to me."
Ye Lixuan glanced at Ye Tianhui indifferently: "I'm not worried about you getting into trouble, I'm worried about this car getting into trouble."
Ye Tianhui listened with a twitch at the corner of her mouth: "Is this really my biological father? It's just a car!"
Ye Lixuan smiled and said, "Let's go."
It was Ye Tianhui's first time driving, but the journey went smoothly. Firstly, Ye Tianhui had some talent and quick reactions, and secondly, with Ye Lixuan's guidance, she felt more at ease.
Along the way, Ye Lixuan occasionally talked to her about driving precautions and the roads on this side of Hong Kong.
Having said that, Ye Tianhui asked: "Where are we meeting today? I need to talk to him."
Ye Lixuan glanced at his daughter and said, "Let me check my class schedule first, and then call you."
Ye Tianhui was curious: "Don't you have a schedule of classes in advance?"
Ye Lixuan was helpless: "There are always some experimental projects and other meetings. How can I remember them all?"
Ye Tianhui: "Okay."
As they were talking, the car soon arrived at the Ye Building. The Ye family's horse service company was located on the twelfth floor of the Ye Building.
Ye Lixuan: "You go to the company first, I'll go to school by myself."
Ye Tianhui: "Then how do you go to school?"
Ye Lixuan got out of the car: "I'll just take a taxi."
Ye Tianhui saw that he was wearing a well-cut wool coat and a scarf, looking very elegant and noble, but a man like him would have to take a taxi by himself.
She couldn't help but want to laugh: "I'm sorry to have wronged you. It's really unworthy of your status as a great professor and noble son."
Ye Lixuan heard this and sighed helplessly: "Just come pick me up at noon. It's just right for us to eat in our cafeteria. The food in our school cafeteria tastes pretty good."
Ye Tianhui: "Well, I'll come find you then."
********
After Ye Tianhui arrived at the horse management company, she called Assistant Yang over. She first checked the accounts roughly and then asked about the recent records of the horse farm.
As her secretary, Assistant Yang had to go to the stable from time to time to collect information about the training of the horses under her charge. Although Ye Tianhui knew this herself, she still wanted to see Assistant Yang's report.
Assistant Yang quickly handed over the report. She took a careful look at it and had to admit that it was quite detailed. It was obvious that Assistant Yang was quite capable. If she could use it, that would be great.
The report not only mentioned several of Ye Tianhui's horses, but also gave a detailed introduction to the current horses of the Meng family, as well as several other highly popular famous horses, and even listed the competition data of those horses.
Although Ye Tianhui knew most of this data, she was still satisfied with Assistant Yang's intentions.
The season is getting closer and closer. In a few days it will be the season opening ceremony. The atmosphere is getting tense and the training of my horses is also in full swing. At this time, paying more attention to the situation of my opponents can also help me know myself and the enemy.
She looked at the information, gave Assistant Yang some instructions, and then let him leave.
During this time, Ye Wenyong came over once and chatted with her for a while. It sounded like Ye Wenyong was under a lot of pressure. After all, the Meng family was a powerful opponent, and now Meng Yinian was back.
In fact, based on Meng Yinian's status in the horse racing industry, he would have a good chance of joining the Horse Racing Committee.
Ye Wenyong obviously also wanted to test Ye Tianhui, but Ye Tianhui ignored it and pretended to be stupid. Anyway, she didn't know what he was asking.
Ye Wenyong had no choice but to touch his nose and leave.
At this time, the phone rang. It was Gu Shizhang. He asked if Ye Lixuan had made a decision.
Ye Tianhui laughed: "Didn't I say I'd call you when it's settled? Why are you so anxious?"
She wondered, "You're not the type of person who can't keep your cool, are you?"
Gu Shizhang sighed softly: "Don't you know there's a saying, 'The ugly daughter-in-law has to meet her parents-in-law.'"
Ye Tianhui was stunned for a moment, then she started laughing, laughing so hard that tears almost fell.
Gu Shizhang was helpless: "You're still laughing."
Ye Tianhui: "Whether the daughter-in-law is ugly or not has little to do with the parents-in-law. The parents-in-law only care about the daughter-in-law being virtuous. The husband only cares about whether the daughter-in-law is good-looking or not."
Gu Shizhang: "Okay, stop teasing, let's get serious. Go ask, I'm listening to the news here."
Ye Tianhui: "Okay, I get it! Actually, I was going to call my dad, but I was busy here and forgot."
After hanging up the phone with Gu Shizhang, Ye Tianhui handed the phone to Ye Lixuan.
There might not be anyone answering the phone in Ye Lixuan's office, but fortunately, this time it went smoothly and Ye Lixuan answered the phone quickly.
When asked about the afternoon meeting, Ye Lixuan hesitated for a moment and said, "Tell him to meet at Wang Tianli Tea Restaurant at 2 o'clock this afternoon."
Ye Tianhui: "Wang Tianli Tea Restaurant? Where is this?"
Ye Lixuan: "This tea restaurant is very famous, just tell him."
Ye Tianhui: "Okay."
After Ye Lixuan hung up the phone, he closed his eyes slightly and sat quietly at the desk waiting.
The second hand of the clock beside his ear ticked slowly, and the ticking sound hit his eardrum in the quiet room.
Eight minutes after he hung up, his phone rang.
He picked up the phone and it was Gu Shizhang on the other end.
Ye Lixuan said calmly: "Shi Zhang, what's wrong? Is there something wrong?"
Gu Shizhang sighed softly: "Nothing, I just suddenly wanted to call you."
Ye Lixuan: "Oh?"
Gu Shizhang: "The black truffle scrambled egg toast at Wang Tianli Tea Restaurant was delicious. I still remember it."
Ye Lixuan: "Why did you suddenly bring this up? Do you want to eat it?"
Gu Shizhang smiled bitterly: "Lixuan."
After he said this, he fell silent.
He naturally knew that this matter was his fault. Ye Lixuan might be completely unable to accept that his old friend suddenly fell in love with his daughter.
But this was indeed just a coincidence. He didn't know at first that Ye Tianhui was Ye Lixuan's daughter.
——In fact, even if he knew, what would it matter? Ye Tianhui was first his Ye Tianhui, and then became Ye Lixuan’s daughter. How could such a thing be rationalized?
However, Ye Tianhui's current concern for Ye Lixuan forced him to be more cautious.
From the first time he saw Ye Tianhui in this life, he was like a monster staring at its prey, compressing his surging desire to just one percent, and then being cautious and closing the net little by little.
Of course he would not allow any mistakes or changes.
He had already given Ye Lixuan enough hints to let him discover and know the truth, and hoped that he would have enough time to slowly accept it.
Now that he made this call, he had actually exposed himself to Ye Lixuan and was at his mercy.
There was no need for him to be so humble in front of Ye Lixuan, but since she cared about him, he had no choice but to lower his posture.
However, Ye Lixuan seemed completely oblivious. He actually smiled and said, "What's wrong? You've been acting a little strange lately, even becoming anxious and worried."
He wondered, "You're in love. Can love really change a person like this?"
On the other side of the phone, Gu Shizhang lowered his eyelids slightly.
He understood after hearing Ye Lixuan's words.
If someone had to be roasted on the fire, Ye Lixuan would definitely pick up a few more firewood to make the fire burn more vigorously.
But for Gu Shizhang, he would move forward even if there were mountains of swords and seas of fire.
Afterwards, he heard Ye Lixuan say, "Tell your girlfriend that you don't have time today because you have to meet an old friend."
He smiled and said, "I think you don't want to make things worse, right?"
