Chapter 115: Chapter 115 Changed Mind_1
Coming out of the garment factory, she stood in the expansive industrial zone, surveying the countless factories and companies surrounding her, making a silent vow in her heart.
One day, the Jiang Family would also become a prestigious household.
She, Jiang Nanfei, would make countless people look up to her.
The prestige families in the provincial city liked to cluster together. Years ago, when the economic development wasn’t as advanced as it is now, these old and respected families all lived in their ancestral homes.
Later on, the Gongxi family started to deal in real estate, and they developed the most high-end seaview villas in the province. With its mountain-facing and sea-viewing location, not only was the geographical location excellent but also the environment and feng shui were fantastic.
There were only several dozen villas, and they were all snatched up by the local wealthy families.
The He family, regarded as the local elite, also lived in a seaview villa with its private garden.
Today, an unexpected visitor was greeted at the He Family’s Villa.
“Linong? Why are you here?” As the door opened, the hostess, Jing Tong, dressed in a white dress, stood elegantly at the entrance. Although she was nearly fifty, her great maintenance made it seemed as if age had left no traces on her.
Huo Linong pushed his glasses up on his nose and asked courteously, “Is Old He home?”
“Yes, yes, yes…” Jing Tong welcomed him warmly, “He’s in the study. Please come in! It’s been many years since your last visit, isn’t it? After all, we’re all old classmates.”
Huo Linong’s gaze turned around Jing Tong’s body. As to what she said, he neither responded nor disagreed.
When He Rongxi saw his old classmate in the study room, he was overjoyed. After the two had exchanged pleasantries and sat down, Huo Linong didn’t beat around the bush and directly spoke of his intentions.
“I am here today to discuss something with you.”
Upon hearing this, Jing Tong immediately showed a sad and worried expression. He Rongxi, heartbroken, quickly hugged her to comfort her. Huo Linong felt his stomach turn at the sight.
If it weren’t for his mother’s insistence, he wouldn’t even want to be here! Over the years, because of different views, he remained a rural school teacher, while He Rongxi had become a renowned tycoon. The distance between them had grown unimaginably, and they no longer spoke freely as before.
“Did something happen to Jinlan?” Jing Tong touched her tears, crying, “It’s all my fault, I’m a mother with no backbone, I had to cruelly abandon my daughter. I left her all alone to suffer in the countryside.”
“Jing Tong, this is not your fault! You are a good woman, a good wife, and an even better mother.” He Rongxi comforted her, “It’s all my fault. It’s all because of me. If I hadn’t been so insistent in pursuing you back then, you wouldn’t have followed me. I’m the one who made you suffer. Everything is my fault.”
“No, it’s not your fault. It’s just that fate is unfair, and I love you too deeply.”
Huo Linong thought to himself, if He Rongxi’s legal wife heard this, she probably wouldn’t be able to stay in her coffin.
“Rongxi, thank you, it’s worth it to follow you in this life, even if I die.”
“Fool, don’t say such stupid things. You’ve finally seen the light at the end of the tunnel. The good days are yet to come.”
Huo Linong was feeling a little restless. He could understand that He Rongxi had changed. However, Jing Tong had also transformed completely, and he hardly recognized her. Back then, she was begging on her knees for him to adopt Jinlan, now she’s acting as if he would abuse Jinlan.
All these years, hadn’t his entire family treated Jinlan like their own daughter?
How did their rural life mistreat her? Did they make her do farm work or herd cattle? Originally, Huo Linong was reluctant and disagreed with sending Jinlan back home.
But now, he had changed his mind.
