After rebirth, I rejected the rich yandere lady

It was the first shop, where the dream had started.

It had become a sort of spiritual sanctuary.

A brief meeting was held: the opening of the school season was also the best time for business at the milk tea shop.

However, the franchise model had already taken shape, and the main energy had shifted from self-operation to franchise management.

Going with platforms, controlling channels and supply chains was the key.

Xu Musen was now preparing to corner the market on hillsides and begin cultivating his own fruit varieties.

Additionally, the 4G era was about to arrive.

Most cellphones on the market were from various unknown brands, and the slightly smarter ones from known brands cost upwards of six or seven thousand.

People's salaries each month weren't much to begin with.

So when the price of the Xiaomi cellphone was announced at 1999, it wasn't just the big brands that were shocked, but even those producing knockoff phones were completely thrown off.

Why bother, if a big brand sells for even less than their knockoffs?

Although it can't be said that the disappearance of knockoff phones was entirely Xiaomi's doing, the subsequent competition in the cellphone market did indeed make them affordable for most common people.

Xu Musen now had ample funds, and whenever he had nothing to do, he would have Liu Rushuang invest in stocks that were bound to rise.

Yao Mingyue also helped with these tasks, now their account had more money than they knew what to do with, capable of funding almost anything as long as it wasn't hand-crafted rockets.

Xu Musen was also preparing to dive into the cellphone market to see if he could establish the world's youngest Fortune 500 company.

All these plans were set in motion, and time simply flew by.

In the blink of an eye, it was October.

The weather was turning cooler, and with the National Day holiday approaching, Xu Musen finally decided to take a few days off.

Yao Mingyue no longer needed to use a wheelchair to get around, she could walk on her own with a crutch.

But as the weather cooled down, Yao Mingyue seemed to become less lively.

She was a bit listless, and sometimes would feel dizzy when standing up suddenly.

Today, in her mother's company, she felt dizzy upon standing up sharply, and Liu Rushuang quickly supported her.

Touching her head with concern, "You've been getting weaker lately, rest well. I can handle the work."

"Mom, I'm fine…"

Yao Mingyue shook her head. She knew what was wrong with her blood supply. The heart is like the engine for blood, and with a weakened heart, blood supply naturally falters, especially in winter, her heart condition... was slowly making itself known.

In her previous life, the reason she vanished after college was that she couldn't hide it anymore and had to risk surgery.

Gazing out the window, many tree leaves had withered and fallen in October.

The drifting leaves created a complex feeling in the heart.

Yet, there were decisions she had to try, only through them could she seize that last strand of hope…

Liu Rushuang watched her daughter's expression, and all she could do was sigh in pain. Money couldn't guarantee success in such matters; everything had to be left to fate.

She brewed her daughter a cup of brown sugar water and handed it to her: "Aren't you going to have a serious talk with Xiao Sen about your heart...?"

Yao Mingyue took a sip of the brown sugar water, her eyes shimmering: "Speaking about it will only add to the worries. It's all about fate."

Liu Rushuang, of course, knew that Xu Musen wasn't some sort of fairy able to bring a Divine Pill, but she just felt that her daughter was too tired and aggrieved having to bear everything on her own.

After drinking the brown sugar water, Yao Mingyue felt much better and smiled lightly: "And with his pettiness, if he knew about my situation, he'd probably end up crying without dignity…"

"Mingyue, you're really okay even if you don't have surgery. Perhaps in the future, medical advances will provide a better solution, and as for children... it's not a must-have..."

Liu Rushuang didn't know how to comfort her daughter.

Yao Mingyue knew that at least by the day she left, there hadn't been any significant breakthroughs in medical science.

And about having children…

Yao Mingyue shook her head again: "Mom, what we've really been hung up on isn't the child."

Liu Rushuang looked at her daughter, only able to bite her lips with a bitter taste.

Yao Mingyue's gaze returned to the window, witnessing the scattering leaves that had journeyed from the budding of spring, the full bloom of summer, the lushness of autumn, to the withered drift of impending winter…

It was a complete cycle.

"Mom, Musen and I have been together since birth, we've experienced so much together, but the only thing missing is what you could call a perfect ending. I also want to see... our natural aging and decline."

Yao Mingyue turned her head, her phoenix eyes now filled with tears, anxiety, and concern, but even more, they held the hopeful brightness that lay hidden after the winter, awaiting spring.

"From infant cries to a head of white hair in old age.

I want to see it all with him…"
