Chapter 98
Ye Tianhui has been busy with horse racing training these past two days, but she has also taken some time out to arrange a meeting between Ye Yibai and Gu Shizhang.
Obviously, Gu Shizhang is also very positive about this matter. He has already mentioned it to Grandpa Ye, and the old man is tacitly aware of it. Now Ye Lixuan has no objection to this matter. He naturally doesn't care what other people in the Ye family think, but he obviously still wants to get Ye Yibai's approval. Ye Yibai and Ye Lixuan have a good relationship and are considered to be Ye Tianhui's closest relatives.
So that day, Ye Lixuan arranged a meeting at a top restaurant. The restaurant was backed by mountains and faced the sea, offering a panoramic view of Victoria Harbour. It was said that it had been rated as a Michelin first-class restaurant for seven consecutive years.
Ye Tianhui and Gu Shizhang went there together. After arriving at the restaurant,
Ye Yibai smiled when she saw Gu Shizhang. "I never thought you'd be with my niece. What do you think we should do now?"
Gu Shizhang pursed his lips slightly and chuckled, his expression somewhat helpless. "What else can I do? I'm at your mercy now. Do you want me to call you aunt? Or should I call you Auntie first?"
Tao Yunqiao beside him couldn't help laughing: "Just call me aunt, then you can call me uncle, and I will be of higher generation in front of you!"
When Ye Tianhui heard this, she quickly said, "Aunt, Uncle, we are just dating now and haven't talked about getting married. There is no need to rush him to call her Aunt Uncle."
Ye Yibai: "It's okay, just call us that for now, and let us enjoy the pleasure of being an elder."
Seeing this, Gu Shizhang smiled and said, "Okay, then please have your aunt and uncle take a seat first."
Everyone laughed when they heard this.
The dishes came up one after another. The dim sum in this restaurant was very well made and very delicate. When placed on the luxurious tableware, they looked like works of art.
During the meal, Gu Shizhang spoke very respectfully and carefully, playing the role of a junior very appropriately.
He smiled and said, "I remember my aunt loved honey-glazed barbecued pork and salt and pepper fried crab claws. This restaurant makes both very delicious."
Ye Yibai smiled and said, "I haven't had much chance to eat authentic Cantonese food in the past few years when I was abroad. Now that I'm back, I'm so lucky."
Tao Yunqiao sighed with emotion: "Shi Zhang used to be very arrogant. I remember one year when Mr. Gu hosted a banquet, he showed up to say hello and then disappeared. If anyone spoke to him again, he wouldn't even look at them."
Ye Yibai also laughed and said, "Yes, he used to look anyone in the eye with such disdain. We even said that if Shi Zhang got married in the future, his wife would have to stay alone and be very cautious, otherwise she would definitely annoy him. But we never thought that today, she would be completely obedient to our niece, and would call her aunt and uncle whenever she wanted!"
The two of them went over old scores, but Gu Shizhang remained calm and said with a smile, "It's nothing for aunt and uncle to make a few jokes."
Ye Tianhui said from the side: "Yeah, it's better than getting beaten."
Get beaten?
Ye Yibai and Tao Yunqiao were extremely surprised: "Who beat you up?"
As they spoke, their eyes fell on Ye Lixuan.
Ye Lixuan beat up Gu Shizhang?
Ye Lixuan's expression was cold and indifferent, and he said without any expression: "Do you really have to mention this?"
Gu Shizhang also looked at Ye Tianhui: "Hmm?"
Suddenly met with protesting glances from the two, Ye Tianhui knew she was guilty and immediately changed the subject: "Let's not talk about such unpleasant things. Oh, this is really delicious, everyone try it!"
As he spoke, he used serving chopsticks to pick up some swan pastries for Ye Yibai and Tao Yunqiao, poured tea for Ye Lixuan, and secretly grabbed a handful of Gu Shizhang.
Seeing this, Ye Yibai stopped talking about it and instead asked, "Since you're dating and your relationship is relatively stable, why haven't you mentioned it to anyone yet?"
Ye Tianhui: "Not yet. This is because of the generation gap. I want to choose the right time."
Gu Shizhang listened and said, "The last time I visited the old man, he also mentioned that it's the racing season now, and our horses are participating in the competition. It's also at the forefront of public opinion. He thought that the matter between Tianhui and me would attract attention, so he thought of waiting until the racing season is over to announce it. That way, it can be handled with a low profile."
Ye Lixuan also said: "It's just a date anyway, there's no need to rush."
Ye Yibai said, "That won't do. Even though it's just a relationship, we can't be in a relationship without any official status."
Upon hearing this, Gu Shizhang said, "According to custom, my father will host a banquet for relatives and friends in a few days on the winter solstice. Will it be a good time to announce it then?"
Ye Yibai listened and said, "That's good."
The banquet for relatives and friends on the Winter Solstice that Gu Shizhang mentioned is actually a big event, because Hong Kong has always attached great importance to the Winter Solstice, and there is a custom that the Winter Solstice is like the New Year. The front and back of the Gu family's house are full of sweetgum trees, and during the Winter Solstice, these sweetgum trees happen to change color. So taking this opportunity, Mr. Gu would invite political and business celebrities to come and appreciate the red leaves and eat hot pot together.
The level of this family dinner is naturally extraordinary. Announcing it on such an occasion also shows that the Gu family attaches importance to the relationship between the two people. Ye Yibai is naturally satisfied.
After hearing this, Gu Shizhang looked at Ye Lixuan again: "Uncle Ye, what do you think?"
When Uncle Ye showed up, Ye Yibai and Tao Yunqiao both felt awkward, after all, they didn't get along like this before.
However, this was a different time and everyone could only hold it in, looking calm.
Ye Lixuan: "If Uncle Gu has no objection, then of course I have nothing to say."
But after he finished speaking, he felt like something was wrong.
If he called Gu Shizhang's father uncle, what would Gu Shizhang call him? Wouldn't the generations be messed up?
But now he couldn't address Mr. Gu on an equal footing, so he could only ignore it for the time being.
Gu Shizhang listened and smiled, "I've already mentioned this to my father, and he naturally has no objections. If he's so inclined, then why don't I take the opportunity to bring this up when he visits me in a few days?"
Ye Yibai smiled and said, "Okay, I think it's good. What do you think, brother?"
She looked at Ye Lixuan, and Ye Lixuan nodded: "Let's do it."
**********
After returning home that day, Ye Lixuan told Old Master Ye that he had given it to him. Old Master Ye was naturally satisfied and specially called Ye Tianhui over for tea that day.
The so-called drinking tea is naturally about talking about serious matters.
Old Master Ye said with a smile, "I haven't even asked you how you and that kid Shi Zhang started dating."
Ye Tianhui: "We just found each other pleasing to the eye and got together."
Old Master Ye laughed out loud when he heard this: "Come to think of it, you've already started talking about it?"
Ye Tianhui nodded.
Mr. Ye: "The last time he came to our house, I felt that he had something to say. I was wondering, but I didn't expect it to be because of this. It's a pity that he was able to hold it in!"
Ye Tianhui smiled but said nothing.
Old Master Ye said: "This guy has good taste, too much. He has taken possession of the most outstanding granddaughter of our Ye family!"
He was naturally satisfied with this granddaughter, very satisfied.
In fact, when he thought about it, he admired Ye Tianhui for the first time when he saw her at the Pentium Racecourse. However, he never thought that this granddaughter could be so outstanding. She was beyond his expectations in every aspect. She was simply the most outstanding offspring of the two generations of the Ye family.
As he thought about it, he suddenly remembered something: "Since you two have been together for a long time, when he came, you actually called him little uncle, you——"
Old Master Ye took a deep breath and said, "Young man, what are you thinking about?"
In fact, although he cares a little about this kind of seniority, he doesn't care that much.
After all, he was extremely satisfied that Ye Tianhui could be with Gu Shizhang.
You have to know that Mr. Ye actually had some concerns about celebrating his birthday this time.
It should be noted that since the founding of Hong Kong, wealthy families that have been rich for generations have emerged. These wealthy families have become the top of Hong Kong's wealthy circle. Among them, several major families are old-established top aristocrats, including the Gu family, the Meng family, and the current Ning family.
Compared with these big families, the Ye family can be mentioned in terms of asset strength, but their family only moved to Hong Kong in the 1950s, and it has only been 20 years. Compared with those traditional wealthy families, their foundation is indeed shallow.
This is also why Mr. Ye wants to develop in horse racing, which can also enhance his family's status in the Hong Kong circle.
Now Ye Tianhui's racehorses are making great strides in the racecourse. This is the time when the Ye family is at its strongest. Naturally, he wants to take this opportunity to improve his status and expand his influence to the business, judicial and political circles.
All of these require an opportunity, and the Gu family is naturally his opportunity.
Mr. Gu’s winter solstice family dinner is an annual tradition for Hong Kong bosses. At that time, celebrities from the political and business circles would attend the dinner. In previous years, Mr. Ye would naturally go, and Mr. Gu naturally wanted to help him, but Mr. Ye also understood that some people had conservative ideas. Even though the Ye family had decent economic strength, there were still people who judged the family by seniority and felt that the Ye family was not yet good enough to join the circle of top celebrities.
This year, on the one hand, his family has been in the spotlight by overcoming all obstacles on the racecourse, and on the other hand, Gu Shizhang is also his grandson-in-law. It can be imagined that he will definitely be in the spotlight.
What followed was his birthday banquet, which would naturally attract the support of all parties. He would then take the opportunity to establish his status in all walks of life and strengthen his voice. This was his plan.
Thinking of this, Old Master Ye sighed, "I've already discussed this with Old Master Gu. We'll announce your and Shi Zhang's good news at the Winter Solstice family dinner."
"Good thing"?
Ye Tianhui listened and frowned slightly: "Grandpa, we are just dating now, not getting married."
Old Master Ye nodded: "I know, I know, you two are dating, dating is the same as being in love, it's the same thing."
Ye Tianhui: “…”
She just knew it.
Once it is announced, it actually means that many things are beyond our control.
But if you think about it, there doesn't seem to be much hesitation between her and Gu Shizhang. If it really comes to that, it's not impossible.
At that moment, I had no choice but to say, "Anyway, I'm still young and don't want to get married for the time being."
Old Master Ye smiled when he heard this: "I understand. Don't worry. Shi Zhang has mentioned all these to me."
**************
During the daytime these two days, Ye Tianhui has been immersed in the horse farm. Now she has designated a training area for herself, deliberately avoiding the big jockeys and trainers, so that she can practice on her own. This is nothing strange. Now that the season is about to begin, everyone naturally has their own secrets, and no one wants others to see them training horses.
After the training that day, she took a quick shower, but Gu Shizhang came over.
When Gu Shizhang pushed the door of the stable and came in, he saw her just about to go out, with a few strands of soft black hair sticking wetly to her fair ears.
She had just taken a hot bath, and her cheeks were flushed, looking like a bud about to bloom, so charming.
Gu Shizhang pursed his lips and said calmly, "Don't wash your hair at the horse farm in the future."
Ye Tianhui: "What's wrong?"
These days, when she was at the horse farm, he would come to pick her up, take her out for dinner or something, and then send her home. He was now familiar with the place.
Gu Shizhang: "It's cold, I'm afraid you'll catch a cold easily."
Ye Tianhui thought about it and agreed, but still said, "I just rode a horse and I'm sweating. I feel uncomfortable. Why don't I go home and take a shower?"
Gu Shizhang understood what she meant. If she went home to take a shower first, she probably wouldn't be able to go on a date with him that night.
He didn't say anything, just took the scarf and tied it around her.
The scarf was soft and comfortable, and his slender fingers deftly tied a beautiful knot.
Ye Tianhui felt his fingertips accidentally brushing against her chin, which was a very comfortable feeling.
She looked up at him and smiled: "You seem to be very good at tying a scarf."
Gu Shizhang smiled and said, "Don't think too much. This is my first time doing this too. Who else can I tie the scarf for besides you?"
He held her face in his hands and looked at it. The scarf covered her hair and mouth, leaving only her eyes and nose exposed.
The tip of her nose is upturned, which looks very beautiful.
But his eyes are big and bright.
When we looked at each other like this, looking into her eyes, I felt full of love and tenderness.
He smiled and said, "My Huihui is getting prettier and prettier. She's the prettiest girl in the world."
Ye Tianhui blinked: "I think so too."
Gu Shizhang chuckled softly, and while laughing, he put his coat on her and then put his hat on her.
Ye Tianhui felt that his smile was warm and comfortable, and he was also very warm when he took care of her. In such a cold winter, all of this was really enjoyable, and she couldn't help but stay in his arms.
Gu Shizhang held her hand and said, "Let's go."
Ye Tianhui followed him out. At this time, Lin Jianquan and Chen Zongwan happened to pass by. When they saw them, they greeted them briefly.
They were used to it and knew that Gu Shizhang would come to pick her up every day.
However, they haven't made it public yet. Gu Shizhang is very careful in his actions. Only a few of them know about it. Every time he comes and goes, he is silent.
Seeing Lin Jianquan and Chen Zongwan, Ye Tianhui instructed them again, "We'll train the horses tomorrow. Remember to trim Black Rose's hooves after morning exercise."
Lin Jianquan nodded: "Yes, I know, I will remember it."
For a moment, Gu Shizhang took Ye Tianhui's hand and left, going straight to park the car.
As they walked along the road, Gu Shizhang smiled and said, "Your two favorites seem to be in better shape than before."
Ye Tianhui: "Oh, what's wrong? I also want to hear your judgment."
Gu Shizhang pondered for a moment and said, "Before, he was more aggressive than calm. Now, he is more patient than before."
Ye Tianhui turned her head to glance at Gu Shizhang.
In any case, this man had been an emperor for so many years in his previous life, so he must have some ability to judge people.
She was satisfied that he could give such an evaluation of the two jockeys.
Gu Shizhang: "The Hell King finals will also be starting by then, right? It will be difficult for you to arrange this, right?"
Ye Tianhui: "Let's talk about it later."
She actually said that.
Gu Shizhang looked at her: "It seems that you have a plan in mind."
Ye Tianhui smiled and said, "About the same."
Seeing this, Gu Shizhang stopped asking.
She didn't want to say it, but she naturally had her considerations.
The two of them got in the car and Gu Shizhang started it. "What do you want to eat?"
Ye Tianhui leaned lazily on the leather seat: "Whatever, actually I don't have much appetite today. I'm tired and just want to rest early."
Gu Shizhang looked at her. The light in the car was dim, and she leaned back, highlighting the clear and beautiful profile lines.
He asked gently, "Are you going back to Banshan today?"
Mid-Levels is the old residence of the Ye family. Ye Tianhui would go there occasionally these days, and sometimes she would just stay in Causeway Bay. The Ye family members all knew that she was busy now, and they also knew that she might not go back. Now she has an extraordinary status in the Ye family, and no one dares to ask about or control her.
Ye Tianhui was a little tired, half-closed her eyes, and hummed, "I'm not going back."
Gu Shizhang: "Then come to my place?"
When he said this, his voice was a little soft.
Ye Tianhui opened her eyes lazily and looked over, with a strange look in her eyes.
Although the two of them were still close since the last time, they hadn't tried it again. His words gave her some ideas.
Training horses is very hard now, and she feels that she needs some comfort.
She thought for a moment and said, "I won't help you like I did last time. I'd be tired too!"
Tired wrist.
When Gu Shizhang heard this, his eyes suddenly fell on her face.
He smiled bitterly, then said helplessly: "You——"
Why can she talk about such things so openly, frankly and without any shyness?
He paused, and finally said, "I won't let you work hard."
Ye Tianhui raised her eyebrows: "Oh? I asked you to study more, did you study?"
Gu Shizhang pursed his lips and said implicitly, "I learned it."
Ye Tianhui was somewhat interested. She looked at him and asked, "What did you learn?"
At this moment, Gu Shizhang felt like a primary school student being questioned by the dean of studies.
But he still said truthfully: "We can try something else."
Ye Tianhui: "Okay!"
Gu Shizhang's car drove slowly down the street. He said gently, "I visited the old man today and talked about our story. He seemed to like it, but he also mentioned that there's a generational difference between us, so we shouldn't be rash. We thought we'd wait until the official announcement. Before then, we need to lay the groundwork and be careful not to spread it. Otherwise, those tabloids will just make up stories and say who knows what."
This is also the reason why Gu Shizhang has been extra cautious recently. Even when he came to pick up Ye Tianhui, he was careful everywhere and avoided the crowd.
We can talk about what happens in private later, but we still have to consider Ye Tianhui's reputation publicly. We don't want people to make random guesses before the official announcement.
Ye Tianhui naturally understood after hearing this. This actually meant that it had already been privately agreed upon by the elders on both sides.
So in this case, it doesn't seem so unnatural to try it out - of course, the most important thing is that both of them are very interested.
***************
Perhaps because she had some ideas or expectations, as soon as she entered Gu Shizhang's house, Ye Tianhui felt that the atmosphere was very different. There was an ambiguous air around her, and even the lights were hazy.
The simple dinner was also full of romance. Occasionally, when he picked up some food for her, she thought his eyes were very special.
But after the meal, he seemed to have said nothing and remained silent.
The two of them sat on the sofa and watched TV. They were watching the Horse Racing Channel, which was researching popular horses and analyzing the day's races every day.
As for the Hell King, Black Rose, Invincible and Longhua Beauty, they are even more the focus of attention. Now the Hell King is already quite famous, and Ke Zhiming's Longhua Beauty is even more popular. The other horses are also very well-known. The host then heatedly discussed the pros and cons of several horses, and from time to time there were calls to the hotline to inquire about the betting situation.
It seems that most people prefer Longhua Jiaren, and the number of horse racing fans investing in Longhua Jiaren has increased dramatically.
Gu Shizhang looked at the scene and whispered, "Change the channel, I don't want to watch it anymore."
Ye Tianhui smiled: "It's okay, just watch it, what's the big deal?"
Gu Shizhang: "I know you are confident, but please don't let it affect your mood."
After saying that, he reached out and turned off the TV.
Ye Tianhui smiled and leaned on his shoulder. She raised her eyes and looked at him and asked, "How do you know I'm confident?"
Gu Shizhang lowered his eyes and looked at her: "This is an intuition. My intuition tells me that you will definitely win."
He paused briefly and said, "Maybe it's because you are Ye Tianhui."
Ye Tianhui smiled. She raised her arms and put them around Gu Shizhang's neck. "Tell me what you learned."
Seeing that she was a little bit spoiled, Gu Shizhang took her in his arms and hugged her.
He leaned over and whispered in her ear, "Then don't speak."
The hot air gently sprayed on Ye Tianhui's neck, and Ye Tianhui felt itchy: "Why?"
Gu Shizhang was silent for a moment, frowned, and said with some confusion: "Why do I feel a little embarrassed when you speak?"
Ye Tianhui was stunned for a moment, and then almost laughed out loud.
She smiled and raised her hands to hold his face: "You are not blushing, are you? Come, let me see."
Gu Shizhang couldn't stand it anymore, he leaned over and kissed her: "Shut up."
********
I have to say that Gu Shizhang is very skilled now.
He is a good kisser.
He was very measured, taking his time, and not going too far, but he made her feel comfortable, and she was addicted to it.
The temperature in the room gradually rose, Gu Shizhang's breathing became rapid, he held it in his mouth greedily, and then gently pulled it, and the two plum blossoms bloomed beautifully.
Gu Shizhang said hoarsely, "It's actually pink."
The pale pink, the color of the thin, soft petals, was different from what he had imagined, and very different from his own color.
It was pink, but also small, smaller than he thought.
Maybe she's smaller?
But he still liked it very much, liked it so much that he wanted to swallow it in one gulp.
Ye Tianhui's face was full of beauty. When she heard this, her ears were burning, but she still asked curiously, "What color are you?"
Gu Shizhang directly covered her eyes: "Okay, don't talk, be good, just enjoy it."
Ye Tianhui was not very satisfied. She wanted to see more, but he didn't let her, so she had to give up.
In fact, she felt very comfortable with him doing this, and she wanted to continue.
She then held his head and twisted it gently.
This action was subconscious, but it made Gu Shizhang even more excited.
Of course, he tried hard to control himself and be careful about what he did.
After all, now is not the right time. It is impossible to get married or make her pregnant.
He held the two handfuls of snow and looked at them in the dim light.
It is not big, but delicate and lovely, yet firm and sweet.
She was very beautiful and he loved her with a throbbing heart.
He bent his head further and further, eating greedily, swallowing it in, pulling gently, watching the plum blossom bounce back, feeling her tenseness, and the suppressed low moans.
She obviously liked it too, and she actually took the initiative to wrap it around it and wrap it around it like a vine.
Gu Shizhang took a breath.
He stopped moving, closed his eyes, and felt silently, using his willpower to suppress and resist.
This was what she brought him, and it was touching.
After a while, he finally suppressed her mischief and whispered, "Don't move."
She hadn't done it on purpose, but she might have seen something, subconsciously, and he simply couldn't handle it.
At this time, Ye Tianhui raised her face slightly and looked at him curiously: "Don't you like this? I think you are not always so..."
Gu Shizhang took a deep breath: "Be good, don't move, you'll get pregnant."
Pregnant……
Ye Tianhui probably understood and quickly retreated: "I know, I know."
