Reborn: Changing Fate
Father and Daughter Meeting

Grandma looked at Ye Tianxin anxiously, then replied, “I came here with Tianxin for her interview at the Capital Film Academy. How're you? Are any of your family members unhealthy?”

Lu Jijun did not even hear what Grandma said. He continued to stare at Ye Tianxin. She had grown into a beautiful young woman, and she was very similar to Ye Linlang. Those eyes and eyebrows—she was undoubtedly Ye Linlang's daughter.

"Auntie, please, can we talk?"

To Lu Jijun's question, Grandma replied, "You and I, there's nothing we need to talk about!"

Lu Jijun then turned towards Ye Tianxin and asked, “Tianxin, do you remember me? We met when you were young!”

Ye Tianxin honestly shook her head, "No." He did not remember ever meeting Lu Jijun. Or, maybe they had met when he was very young.

However, at that age, he would be too young to remember meeting her.

"Tianxin, let's go!"

Dragging Ye Tianxin, Grandma continued leaving the hospital.

However, Lu Jijun would not let the chance of meeting Ye Tianxin and her grandmother pass him by. He immediately stepped in front of Grandma and stopped her.

“Auntie, your age is up. Can't you talk peace with me? I have no ill intentions!”

Ye Tianxin stared intently at Lu Jijun.

“My grandmother won't talk to you. Please don't block our path.”

Lu Jijun laughed softly, and a nostalgic expression appeared on his face.

"You look exactly like Linlang when you're angry."

“Tercela and shameless!” Ye Tianxin cursed at him secretly.

“Do you know my mother? If so, do you also know my father?” Ye Tianxin asked innocently.

Looking at the adorable Ye Tianxin, Lu Jijun extended her hand, wanting to touch her head. "I'm ay..."

“Tianxin, buy me a bottle of water. I feel a little thirsty!”

Her grandmother quickly cut, stopping Lu Jijun from saying anything more. Ye Tianxin clearly understood his grandmother's intentions. Grandma wanted to stop Lu Jijun from speaking but could think of no other way to do so other than by making up excuses that she was thirsty.

Ye Tianxin could only obey her Grandma and went to buy her a bottle of water.

“Lu Jijun, over a decade ago, I told you that Linlang is my daughter and Tianxin is my grandson. For the rest of my life, as long as I breathe, I will never hand Tianxin over to you. Thank you for continuing to send money to me and Tianxin all this time. I always return the money to you untouched .... I just don't want anything to do with you!"

Lu Jijun knew that Grandma had a fiery temper. Pulling Grandma to sit back on the bench, she began to speak sincerely. “Auntie, I know you don't like me and hate me, but Tianxin is an adult now. Can't we put aside all our past grievances and calmly discuss Tianxin's future? Tianxin will be eighteen this year, and he will take the college entrance exam, right? I heard that Tianxin's grades are always bad. Which university could he accept? Let's pretend that he's accepted into the Film Academy. Tell me, Auntie. How do you fund his education there? And what if Tianxin doesn't go to college? What next? Does he have to work hard as a blue-collar worker at his young age? Or will he just marry? Aunt, I know that you are deeply hurt by what happened to Linlang, which is why you want to keep Tianxin by your side..”

“Lu Jijun, stop talking. I will never hand Tianxin over to you. When the incident with Linlang exploded many years ago, you came to see us. Now I repeat what I said back then. As long as I live, I will never hand Tianxin to you…. The only way you can take it from me is by passing my corpse!”

After making this brutal statement, Grandma stood up to leave. But Lu Jijun refused to give up, still hoping he could win her heart with his reasoning and touch her with his actions. He reached out to pull Grandma's arm.

In one step, Ye Tianxin rushed towards them and stood in front of her grandmother. Like a warrior, he blocked Lu Jijun's outstretched hand.

"You ... What do you think you're doing?"

Lu Jijun withdrew his hand, looking embarrassed. He looked at Ye Tianxin, his face filled with fatherly love.

"Tianxin, I just want to talk to your grandmother."

“My grandmother won't talk to you. Grandma, let's go!”

Ye Tianxin helped her grandmother as they walked away from Lu Jijun's sight. Lu Jijun stood glued to the same spot. While he was watching his grandmother and granddaughter's partner leave, all he could think of was the woman who had always been at the forefront of his mind ...

“Pa” Lu Qingxin, along with Gu Yancheng, had seen Lu Jijun from afar and called out to him. "Pa, who were you talking to before?"

Lu Jijun replied, “Someone I know. Qingxin, are your ankles okay?”

Sticking onto Lu Jijun's arm, Lu Qingxin acted timidly and said sweetly, “Pa, I'm fine. It's just a small sprain. Yancheng was just being too careful. He insisted on doing x-rays. Even doctors make sure that it is not serious!”

“Listen to yourself. Yancheng here is just worrying about you and doing it for your own good,” Lu Jijun commented.

Lu Qingxin pouted dejectedly and said, “I know that Yancheng is doing it for my own good. But you know how much I hate hospitals!”

“To the front, you should be more careful when going down the stairs. Don't get hurt again!"

Nodding, Lu Qingxin said, “Understand. Pa, you're so long-winded. You have turned into an old man!"

"Thank you?"

Unknowingly, Lu Jijun wondered if he really was old.

"Let's go. I'll take you to the hotel first!”

Gu Yancheng supported Lu Qingxin as they walked to the car. Leaning on Gu Yancheng's shoulder, Lu Qingxin said firmly, "Yancheng, I want to eat KFC."

"No, you can't. It's all fast food.” Gu Yancheng bluntly rejected her request without a second thought.

Lu Qingxin pretended to cry, whine, “Yancheng, you have such a cruel heart. I'm ill. Why can't you just give up and let me do what I want?”

"You know very well that you're sick and you can't eat junk food." After he said this, Gu Yancheng noticed Lu Qingxin's large, tearful eyes. Finally, he gave up. “Alright, then. Just this once! It won't be anymore!"

Lu Qingxin immediately hugged Gu Yancheng tightly. "Yancheng, you're the best!" she said.

Sensing his soft and delicate body on his chest, Gu Yancheng's face instantly turned a dead red.

Unaware of his influence on her, Lu Qingxin asked, “Yancheng, are you not feeling well? Your face is flushed..”

“...” Gu Yancheng sighed. Lu Qingxin, that silly girl. How could he be so naive!?

After all, he is a real man!

Lu Jijun drove his seven-seater MVP vehicle and stopped him beside Lu Qingxin and Gu Yancheng. Gu Yancheng opened the door and helped Lu Qingxin get into the car first. Then, he climbed up and carefully helped Lu Qingxin with his seatbelt. When they were already seated, Lu Jijun started driving out of the hospital parking lot.

As he passed the bus stop located in front of the hospital, Lu Jijun noticed Ye Tianxin and his grandmother standing there, waiting for the bus.

"Auntie, Tianxin, where are you going?" he called.

"Let me give you a ride there!"

Lu Qingxin turned around and looked at Ye Tianxin through the car window, and the events from yesterday's interview came to her mind.

"Yancheng, look," he said. "That's the girl who was yesterday ..."

Gu Yancheng also turned to look and see Ye Tianxin and her grandmother. Confused, he looked at Lu Jijun. He wondered how Uncle Lu could get acquainted with people like them.

Lu Jijun had already unlocked his seat belt and walked in front of Ye Tianxin and his grandmother.

“Aibi, Tianxin, let's go. Let me give you a ride.”

“Thank you for a good offer, but my grandmother and I will get drunk vehicles in the car like this!”

Lu Jijun's MPV had stopped right in front of the bus stop, and at that moment, a bus was approaching, but the MPV was blocking its way. The bus driver repeatedly rang his horn.

“Why do you monopolize publicly funded resources when you have a private car?”

"Get out, and get out of our way!"

Lu Jijun looked at the people waiting at the bus stop and smiled apologetically. "Moving now!"

"Auntie, Tianxin, please get in the car!"

Grandma and Ye Tianxin had no other choice but to enter the MPV. When Grandma saw Lu Qinxin, she shouted in shock, "Oh, aren't you a good young woman who showed me to the ultrasound department at the hospital?"

Despite having done such a bad thing, Lu Qinxin did not feel any guilt in the slightest. While smiling sweetly at Grandma, she replied, “Oh, Grandma, it's you!”

Grandma had no idea that Lu Qinxin had deliberately taken her to the wrong place!

Did the simple-minded Grandma really think that Lu Qinxin was a good girl?

To be honest, Lu Qinxin's dark side was a deep-buried secret. If Ye Tianxin had not seen him with her own eyes in her previous life, she would have never known how cunning and evil Lu Qinxin was, and how deeply he hid his evil nature from others.

"Tianxin, this is the young woman who showed me the way in the hospital."

After helping his grandmother sit in his chair, Ye Tianxin looked at Lu Qinxin, who was sitting opposite him. “Grandmother, even though Miss Lu did not take you to the ultrasound department, I still have to thank Miss Lu..”.

Gu Yancheng circled around and glared at Ye Tianxin. Seeming resolute, he briefly commented, “Why did you get weird about this? Since this was Qinxin's first trip to Capital First Hospital, it was only natural that he could not find the ultrasound department. Do you really have to be evil-minded and insinuate that Qinxin is not well-intentioned?"

Ha….

Ye Tianxin laughed scornfully. Before he could even speak, Lu Qinxin grabbed Gu Yancheng's hand and said, "Shut up, Yancheng. Don't say that. My fault. Seeing the old granny sitting there alone, I shouldn't have taken her away. I took him away from where he was but did not take him to the designated department for his test. It is understandable that Miss Ye is upset.”

Lu Qinxin's words angered Ye Tianxin, who rolled his eyes furiously at the roof of the car.

A benevolent?

How could Lu Qinxin have such a good heart?

Will he believe?

Only a person as stupid as Gu Yancheng would believe every word Lu Qinxin said.

"Qinxin, you're too kind."

Gu Yancheng felt his heart move uneasily. Qinxin is very plain. What would he do if he was bullied in the future?

"Tianxin, apologize to Miss Lu."

Suddenly, Grandma spoke up.

Ye Tianxin was stunned. While pouting, she protested, “But Grandma ...”

"I'm sorry." Grandma sounded a little harsh.

Ye Tianxin did not understand. It was clear that the person who made the mistake was Lu Qinxin, not him, so why should he apologize?

"grandmother." Ye Tianxin begged, unwilling to do so.

"I'm sorry," Grandma said firmly.

Given her grandmother's condition, Ye Tianxin could not bear to make her even more upset, so she said to Lu Qinxin, “Sorry, Miss Lu. I misunderstood your good intentions!”

Lu Qinxin smiled sweetly and replied, “It's okay. I'm not disappointed. I get it."

Gu Yancheng looked at Lu Qinxin disapprovingly. Oh, this silly girl is so annoying!

Lu Qinxin decided to let the matter pass and not proceed any further. He then turned to Lu Jijun and said, “Pa, how do you know Ye Tianxin? He and I are destined to meet. Our registration number is next door during art interview..”.

Through the rearview mirror, Lu Jijun looked at Lu Qinxin and Ye Tianxin and replied, "I know Tianxin's mother."

Lu Qinxin made an "oh" sound and continued. “Because Ye Tianxin is so beautiful, her mother must be prettier. Pa, are you one of Ye Tianxin's mother suitors?”

Gu Yancheng's curiosity also appeared.

Lu Jijun's ears suddenly turned red. “Mother Tianxin was very interesting back then. He has many admirers, and your father here is of course interested in him too.”

Sitting in the back of the car, Ye Tianxin felt like vomiting when he heard what Lu Jijun said. He really did not know how Lu Jijun had the courage to speak like that before Lu Qinxin.

Lu Qinxin slightly leaned forward and said, "Pa, please tell me more!"

"Uncle is driving!" Gu Yancheng interrupted Lu Qinxin's interrogation.

As a man, Gu Yancheng could instinctively tell that something was not right. He secretly speculated that maybe this Ye Tianxin was Uncle Lu's illegitimate daughter….

If he was his bastard son, then surely Uncle Lu wanted him to stay with them in the Lu family home?

And if Uncle Lu brought Ye Tianxin home to live with them, both Qinxin and his mother would be injured.

“Ups, I forgot!”

Accidentally, Lu Qinxin stuck out his tongue and stopped asking Lu Jijun again. He then sat sideways and looked at Ye Tianxin. Lowering her voice, she asked, “Tianxin, have you ever engaged an acting professional to teach you how to act? I noticed that your acting was very good. All inspectors really like you!”

"That's probably a natural talent!" Ye Tianxin replied briefly in a flat tone.

Seemingly unaware of Ye Tianxin's cold demeanor, Lu Qinxin continued to speak. “Then you must have inherited your mother's talent, unlike mine. I'm so silly and stupid. Looks like I can't catch anything taught to me.”

Lu Qinxin's words caused Gu Yancheng's heart to ache greatly.

"Qinxin, you're not stupid at all. The way you play the violin is the best!”

“Oh, yes, but that's because I was pressured to play the violin by my mother. Actually, I didn't like the violin at all, but my mother insisted, saying that girls should learn one instrument in order for them to be better able to present themselves. Tianxin presented himself very well. Did your mom tell you to learn ballet or piano or something?”

Although it seemed to focus on driving, Lu Jijun's senses improved, capturing every aspect of the conversation.

When Ye Tianxin first got into the car, she had thought she and Lu Qinxin would start fighting. Unexpectedly, the two seemed to get along well.

If Lu Qinxin did not show any reluctance to Ye Tianxin, he would discuss with his wife and arrange to bring Ye Tianxin home to live with them as a member of the Lu family.

"I didn't take any lessons at all," Ye Tianxin replied.

Lu Qinxin looked surprised, “Really? Oh, how I envy you. If you don't need to attend such a class, then you should have plenty of time to get out and have fun every day, unlike me. I'm very busy every day..”.

Gu Yancheng opened a bottle of mineral water and gave it to Lu Qinxin. "Drink water!"

"Yancheng, I'm not thirsty. Tianxin, what do you usually do with your time?” Lu Qinxin tilted her head and looked at Ye Tianxin's beautiful long black hair, unable to contain her sense of irritation.

“If you don't need to learn to play a musical instrument, you may have a lot of free time. How do you usually spend time?”

This was the same question Lu Qinxin had asked him in his previous life. At that time, Ye Tianxin did not have any defense mechanism against Lu Qinxin and freely admitted to him that he used to skip classes to surf the internet in Internet cafes, and that he was a free agent, play the story to sound like a heroic story.

Not long after, many people found out about Ye Tianxin's past skipping class and getting into fights, and that he was generally a brat with little education or skill.

“Learn and do exam questions!” Ye Tianxin replied naturally.
