Chapter 320 A Happy Ending
Lu Chen took the business card, his eyes reddening.
"Ms. Fang, thank you."
"You're welcome," Fang Lanxin said. "Lu Chen, everyone has a chance to start over. But whether you can seize it depends on yourself."
"I see."
Fang Lanxin stood up.
"I have something to do, I'll be going now."
"Ms. Fang," Lu Chen called out to her, "Why are you helping me?"
Fang Lanxin turned to look at him.
"Because I believe that people can change."
After saying that, she turned and left.
Stepping out of the coffee shop, Fang Lanxin took a deep breath.
Helping Lu Chen is one of the things she wants to do in this life.
In his previous life, Lu Chen went astray largely because no one guided him.
In this life, she wants to give him a chance.
Back at the company, Fang Lanxin convened a high-level meeting.
"Everyone, I've gathered you all here today to announce something," Fang Lanxin said. "Starting next month, I will gradually withdraw from the day-to-day management of the Huo Group."
The meeting room erupted in an uproar.
"Mr. Fang, you're about to retire."
“It’s not retirement,” Fang Lanxin said. “I just want to spend more time on myself. The day-to-day management of the Huo Group will be handed over to Huo Qibang.”
Everyone looked at Kenneth Fok.
Kenneth Fok stood up.
"Everyone, I know you may be worried. But please believe me, I will do my best to manage the Huo family business."
Fang Lanxin nodded.
“Kai-pong has worked at Fok’s for so many years, and everyone has seen his abilities. I believe he will lead Fok’s to go even further.”
The group looked at each other, and finally nodded.
After the meeting, Kenneth Fok stayed behind.
"Mom, are you really going to retire?"
“Yes,” Fang Lanxin said. “Qibang, I have been working hard for the Huo family all these years. Now that the Huo family is stable, it’s time for me to live for myself.”
Kenneth Fok nodded.
“I understand. Mother, don’t worry, I will manage the Huo family business well.”
"I believe you," Fang Lanxin said. "By the way, Qibang, Siya is about to give birth, right?"
"Yes, there's still one month left."
"I'll go to the hospital to be with her then," Fang Lanxin said. "You should also take good care of your sister."
"I will."
That evening, Fang Lanxin returned to the villa.
Guan Jingshen was waiting for her in the living room.
"Lanxin, I heard you announced your retirement today."
“Yes.” Fang Lanxin sat down next to him. “Jing Shen, I’ve figured it out. The Huo family doesn’t need me anymore, and it’s time for me to live for myself.”
Guan Jingshen grasped her hand.
"Lanxin, you've finally figured it out."
"Yes," Fang Lanxin said. "Jingshen, when are we leaving to travel around the world?"
“Anytime is fine,” Guan Jingshen said. “Where would you like to go first?”
“Europe,” Fang Lanxin said. “I want to see those ancient castles and churches.”
"Okay, I'll go arrange it right away."
The two looked at each other and smiled.
A month later, Huo Siya gave birth to a boy.
Fang Lanxin stayed with her at the hospital for three days, only leaving after confirming that both mother and child were safe.
On the day she left the hospital, Kenneth Fok saw her off at the door.
"Grandma, when are you and Lord Guan setting off?"
"Next week," Fang Lanxin said. "Qibang, the Huo family is in your hands now."
"Mom, don't worry."
Fang Lanxin patted his shoulder, turned around and got into the car.
The car drove out of the hospital and headed towards the airport.
Fang Lanxin looked out the window at the port city, feeling very calm.
As the plane taxied down the runway, Fang Lanxin looked out the port city into the distance.
Guan Jingshen grasped her hand.
"Lanxin, do you regret it?"
"No regrets." Fang Lanxin turned to look at him. "Jing Shen, I have never looked forward to the future so much."
As the plane took off, the port city below transformed into a sea of lights.
Fang Lanxin leaned back in her seat and closed her eyes.
At that moment, she felt truly free. She could finally let go of the past.
After chatting for a while, Fang Lanxin took out her phone.
A news notification is displayed on the screen.
"Lu Chen's new film has grossed over 1 billion yuan."
Fang Lanxin clicked on the news.
In the photo, Lu Chen stands on the red carpet at the premiere, smiling confidently.
"Jing Shen, look. Lu Chen is really successful now."
Guan Jingshen took a deep look.
"Yes. He's finally moved on."
Fang Lanxin recalled the scene three years ago when she met Lu Chen at the coffee shop.
At that time, Lu Chen was confused and helpless.
Now he has become an international movie star.
"Lanxin, what are you thinking about?"
"I'm thinking that helping him back then was definitely the right thing to do."
Guan Jingshen grasped her hand.
"Everything you do is right."
Fang Lanxin smiled.
The two sat embracing each other.
Outside the window, the port city's night scene remains as vibrant as ever.
But for Fang Lanxin, none of that mattered anymore.
Most importantly, she has people who love her, a healthy family, and endless possibilities.
The next morning, Fang Lanxin and Guan Jingshen began preparing for their trip to South America.
"Jing Shen, should we go to Brazil first, or Argentina first?"
“Let’s go to Brazil first,” Guan Jingshen said. “I want to take you to see the Rio Carnival.”
"OK."
The two booked their plane tickets and packed their luggage.
Just then, Fang Lanxin's phone rang.
It was an unfamiliar number.
"Hello"
"Ms. Fang, I am Lu Chen."
Fang Lanxin was stunned for a moment.
"Lu Chen, how did you get my number?"
“I got it from Mr. Huo,” Lu Chen said. “Ms. Fang, I would like to see you.”
"What's up"
"I want to thank you in person," Lu Chen said. "If it weren't for your help back then, I wouldn't be where I am today."
Fang Lanxin remained silent for a few seconds.
"Okay, give me an address."
"Tomorrow at three o'clock in the afternoon, at the coffee shop in the south of the city."
"I see."
After hanging up the phone, Guan Jingshen asked, "Lu Chen is looking for you?"
“Yes,” Fang Lanxin said, “He wants to see me.”
“Then you go,” Guan Jingshen said. “I’ll go with you.”
"good."
The next afternoon, Fang Lanxin and Guan Jingshen arrived at the coffee shop on time.
Lu Chen was already waiting.
He was dressed casually and looked much more mature than he had three years ago.
"Ms. Fang, Mr. Guan."
Lu Chen stood up.
Fang Lanxin sat down.
"Speak, what do you want from me?"
Lu Chen took out a file folder.
"Ms. Fang, this is the money I've earned over the past few years. I want to donate it to charity to help those in need."
Fang Lanxin opened the file bag.
Inside was a donation agreement for ten million.
"Lu Chen, are you sure?"
“I’m sure,” Lu Chen said. “Ms. Fang, you helped me back then and gave me a fresh start. Now that I have the ability, I also want to help others.”
Fang Lanxin looked at him and smiled.
"Lu Chen, you've really grown up."
"You taught me all of this."
Fang Lanxin returned the file bag to him.
"You handle this yourself. I trust you."
Lu Chen nodded.
"Thank you, Ms. Fang."
After chatting for a while, Lu Chen got up to say goodbye.
As Fang Lanxin walked out of the coffee shop, she watched his retreating figure, filled with emotion.
"Jing Shen, do you think people can really change?"
“Sure,” Guan Jingshen said, “as long as someone is willing to give him a chance.”
Fang Lanxin nodded.
The two walked hand in hand toward the parking lot.
The sunlight felt warm and cozy on my skin.
Fang Lanxin suddenly stopped in her tracks.
"Jing Shen, let's go for a walk on the beach."
"good."
The two drove to the beach.
The sea breeze felt salty on my face.
Fang Lanxin took off her shoes and walked barefoot on the beach.
"Jing Shen, what do you think will happen to us in the future?"
"We will continue to be happy like this."
Fang Lanxin smiled.
She believed it.
