But Jiang Sifan believed he had the ability to give his mother and sister a better life.
He could do it even without relying on Lu Fan.
Then, Jiang Sifan urged Jiang Yixia to get plenty of rest and not overwork herself.
Jiang Yixia, in turn, tried to comfort him, encouraging him to let go of his grudge and get in touch with his father.
But Jiang Sifan said, "Mom, I’m on your side. If you don’t forgive him, I won’t forgive him either."
Hearing this, Jiang Yixia felt a touch of guilt amidst her gratitude.
She wondered if she was the reason her son’s hatred for Lu Fan ran so deep.
At this thought, she felt a little ashad.
"I’m sorry, Sifan. It’s all because Mom influenced you..."
But Jiang Sifan didn’t see it that way. He felt that Jiang Yixia had already been very forgiving.
She had chosen to have the children even after he cheated.
If anyone was to bla, it was Lu Fan for being such a bastard back then.
Jiang Sifan secretly resolved, ’One day, I will build a business empire even more massive than Lu Fan’s company!’
So after their chat ended, he threw himself back into his work. He believed that heaven rewards the diligent...
「The next morning.」
Jiang Silu and the others boarded the campus bus.
They were about to begin their three-day internship trip to the Suzhou Gardens.
On the bus, the students all asked Jiang Silu curiously, "Silu, how on earth did you get in touch with the owner of Spring Glow Garden?"
Jiang Silu had already prepared an answer for this question last night.
She awkwardly spun a lie, "Actually, I found the owner’s contact information online, so I reached out on a whim. He was very interested in our garden internship idea and agreed to open it for a day."
"That’s amazing!" Lu Yao exclaid excitedly from the side. "I’m telling you, you’re seriously the chosen one."
Song Miaomiao chid in with praise, "Yeah! I heard Spring Glow Garden is gorgeous, really beautiful, but people can usually only peek through the latticed windows from the outside."
Only Liu Shiting noticed that Jiang Silu seed a little flustered as she spoke.
Considering Jiang Silu’s family background, Liu Shiting suspected she was lying.
She figured it was probably her dad who had made the contact, but Silu had made up a story because she was worried her classmates would be too shocked.
It was a perfectly normal thing to do.
On the way to Suzhou, Jiang Silu gazed at the scenery outside the window, recalling the first ti she and Lu Fan had visited Teacher He Fengchun in Suzhou.
That day had been filled with so, so many surprises for her.
She’d been surprised that Lu Fan’s company was collaborating with Teacher He.
Surprised that he’d even started a fund for restoring gardens.
And surprised that she’d worn a dress worth tens of thousands of yuan.
So many surprising things had happened that day.
Thinking of this, Jiang Silu sent Lu Fan a ssage: "We’re on the bus~"
Lu Fan replied quickly: "Haha, what a coincidence. I’m on my way, too."
Jiang Silu was actually quite looking forward to a chance encounter with Lu Fan in Suzhou.
But she felt the possibility was still very slim.
After all, her dad’s work was definitely in the city, while their internship sites were all in the suburbs.
’We’re dozens of kiloters apart. How could we possibly run into each other?’
With this thought in mind, Jiang Silu felt a little disappointed.
As ti passed, Teacher Chen announced to everyone, "Our first stop is Spring Glow Garden. We’ll be at the entrance in about five minutes, so everyone please be quiet. This is a private garden, and we can’t bring sha to Jinling University~"
The students shouted in unison, "Got it~"
Five minutes later, the bus ca to a stop.
Teacher Chen led the students off the bus.
Jiang Silu followed them down. Just as she was about to take a picture of the plaque bearing the words "Spring Glow Garden," Lu Yao shouted excitedly from beside her, "Uncle Lu!! Lulu, look! It’s Uncle Lu!!"
Jiang Silu quickly turned around and saw Lu Fan walking over with a cheerful grin.
He smiled at Jiang Silu and said, "What a coincidence. We really did run into each other."
It was only then that Jiang Silu realized Lu Fan wasn’t on a business trip to Suzhou at all. He had co to Suzhou this ti just to accompany her on her garden tour.
At this thought, her young heart was once again deeply touched.
’Dad, you’re pretty smooth, with all these moves.’
’No wonder Mom was so head over heels in love with you back then.’
Lu Fan, anwhile, looked at Spring Glow Garden before him, thinking gleefully, ’Daughter, this is the private garden Dad prepared for you.’
