Elena's mind flashed back to the man she saw at TT headquarters that day, and her heart began to beat wildly again.
The little girl was shy and said, "Mom!"
Mrs. Hill didn't know her daughter's thoughts yet, so she said casually, "I heard that he is a mixed-race with black eyes and a tainted bloodline. You are the future heir chosen by the Irene family, a daughter of a rich family with a noble status. Even if the two families want to marry in the future, we have to go and take a look... If he is really too bad, I will talk to your father and we can still choose Mudi..."
"Mom!" Elena raised her voice this time and interrupted her abruptly: "Just tell me, don't let these thoughts out in public! Especially in front of my aunt, don't tell Dad about it... I have my own plans."
In the past, Elena was not afraid of making mistakes. She was good enough and had the cost of trial and error. Even if she made a mistake, there would always be someone willing to forgive her and give her another chance...
But the last time Mudi was injured, he angered Mu Lao, who put pressure on her aunt and called Eleanor back home.
Her aunt took the other person seriously in every way and even let them live together... She had to restrain her behavior and be cautious.
It's a good thing that her mother dotes on her enough and stands on her side.
But helping her blindly will only hurt her.
Elena knew exactly what she wanted and would not give her own mother the opportunity to destroy her image.
"I... have seen him." Elena said, suppressing her embarrassment. The tingling pleasure invaded her limbs like an electric current. "He does not have brown eyes, but he is very good, no worse than Moody. So... when you see him later, don't show that you don't like him just because of his eyes."
At this point, her tone gradually became strong and serious: "Auntie Lan is also there, if she finds out..."
"I know." Mrs. Hill interrupted her and asked, getting to the point, "Have you met him? From your tone, you like him?"
"I..." Elena thought of Ye Wangchuan's attitude towards her, and that Qiao Nian. The numb and sour feeling in her heart faded away, and it seemed as if there was a mad beast in her chest that wanted to get out of the cage immediately. Her heart was aching and bleeding.
Her fingers turned a little pale from the excessive force, but her eyes were bright: "It doesn't matter whether I like him or not, and it doesn't matter who he likes. What's important is that we have to make Aunt Lan feel that it's suitable. I want this person, and I also want the benefits he can bring to me!"
Mrs. Hill said after a long while: "It's OK as long as you... are willing. In fact, I hope you are happy."
Elena scoffed at this.
She still said obediently: "Mom, I do this for our family and for you. I want to be your pride."
Mrs. Hill really didn't bring up the previous topic anymore, and said, "Come back soon, we'll go over after you change your clothes."
"good."
Elena agreed and hung up the phone.
She put the phone down, lowered her eyes to look at the hung up call, and thought of Ying Shi, Dowell and others who had already gone to the racecourse.
Thinking back to my previous ruthless rejection and my excuse that I was busy, I now have to slap myself in the face again...
Elena pursed her lips and quickly adjusted her mentality. She found Ying Shi's number in the address book and sent a text message to him.
—[I'm going to the Liszt racecourse later. Are you there? I'll find you later and we can run two laps together.]
