Chapter 613: Chapter 613: It’s All Fate

Qin Wen sat up abruptly with glowing eyes, "Why did you change your mind?"

"What’s there to not understand? Isn’t it just about building greenhouses? As long as you work hard, once we have money, see who dares to look down on us."

She was previously reluctant to return to her family to borrow money because she feared they wouldn’t succeed and would end up losing money.

But now, so many people in the village have made money, how could they not?

When the time comes, they can grow watermelons and strawberries and have her brother help them sell, achieving good prices.

Qin Wen also perked up, "You should have thought this way earlier, we wouldn’t have wasted a season in vain."

.....................

The sunlight in early summer was strong but not too hot, with a gentle breeze bringing a hint of coolness under the trees.

Under the big banyan tree in the yard, a small table with several exquisite snacks and a pot of rich coffee made for a perfect afternoon tea time.

Two elegantly dressed women sat at the small table, gently stirring their coffee, intensifying the aroma in the air instantly.

One of the women wore a serene smile, taking a small sip of coffee, praising, "I never thought after all these years, cousin, your skills would be even better. Abroad, I rarely find such authentic coffee."

The other woman also smiled, "It’s you who’s sweet-talking. After all these years, what haven’t you seen abroad? I’m satisfied that my coffee suits your taste."

If Lin Chuxia saw this, she’d be surprised that these two seemingly unrelated people would know each other and be so intimate.

It was indeed their patient, the Walson chairman Zhuang Jingshu, who returned from abroad, and Qiao Lan, the wife of the director of the textile factory.

"Speaking of which, I haven’t forgiven you. Such big news of you returning to the country, yet you didn’t tell me at the first moment. Do you even consider me your family? You were so ill and didn’t tell me to see you."

Mentioning this, Qiao Lan wore an unhappy expression, her eyes even reddening slightly.

"In this country, I’m your only family. You didn’t come to me; are you still resentful of the past?"

"Cousin," Zhuang Jingshu spoke helplessly, "look at you, why would I? Back then, you had no contact; we didn’t even know we could find you. And you had your struggles, it wasn’t your fault. I never blamed the past on you, nor resent any of you. It’s all fate."

"Then why didn’t you come to find me? You were already in Yan City, couldn’t you send a message when you were sick? I could have come to see you."

Thinking her cousin almost didn’t make it, Qiao Lan couldn’t help but shed tears.

Zhuang Jingshu handed her a handkerchief with a calm expression, "I thought I could hold on until I saw you, but in the end... Despite the regret, I didn’t want to witness the pain of family separations. Rather than causing them heartbreak again, I’d instead leave quietly alone. One person’s regret is better than two."

"What are you saying? We’re family. If so, you might as well never find me. Wouldn’t I be equally sad now?"

Zhuang Jingshu smiled helplessly, "Sorry, cousin. It was my fault. It won’t happen again."

Hearing her admit her mistake, Qiao Lan’s expression eased slightly.

"We really owe thanks to Old Sir He this time. He truly brought you back from the brink. To think, someone this skilled in traditional medicine, I hadn’t even heard of during all my years in An City."
