Rebirth: After Becoming the Villainess-Chapter 62: Yan Wen Thinks: I Misunderstood Her Before

Song Lianhe froze.

’Is he... comforting me?’

She wasn’t the only one. Even Su Huaqing looked over curiously before breaking into a smile. "Rongbai, you really have a soft spot for the ladies, don’t you!"

Song Lianhe shot him a disgusted look.

’Why is it that even the most normal words sound so obnoxious coming out of his mouth?’

Sensing his slip of the tongue, Yan Wen’s cheeks flushed slightly. "Let’s go inside and look at the shop," he said quickly before hurrying in.

"Right, right, business first!"

Nothing was more important than business right now. Song Lianhe quickly followed him. "Young Master Yan, you’re the boss. Come take a look and see what else needs improvement. I promise my full cooperation! Also, I have a few ideas I’d like to run by you..."

Her attitude was both enthusiastic and sincere, her large, sparkling eyes gazing at him with complete trust.

Yan Wen was momentarily at a loss for words. He quickly averted his gaze. "Mm, then... let’s talk later."

Seeing him quicken his pace, Song Lianhe felt especially gratified.

’He’s getting into character so quickly. I really did pick the right person!’

She turned to find Shuang Ye to give some instructions, only to meet Su Huaqing’s smirking gaze.

The smile on Song Lianhe’s face vanished instantly. ’No matter how I look at him, he’s an eyesore!’

In front of this genuine male fox spirit, she couldn’t even be bothered to pretend. When it came to acting skills and talent, how could she possibly compare to a fox?

’In the original book, he was the most insidiously wicked one. He had a hand in many of Zhou Junlin’s schemes!’

’And this guy, he puts on a harmless smile, but he’s actually black-hearted. Back then, he caused no end of trouble for the female supporting character!’

Song Lianhe ignored him completely, turning her head to instruct Shuang Ye to bring tea, ink, and paper. She also told her to guard the door, as they were discussing business secrets inside, and no unauthorized personnel were to approach.

The words "unauthorized personnel" might as well have been plastered right on Su Huaqing’s face.

Su Huaqing merely smiled. He sat downstairs, enjoying the breeze and sipping his tea, looking perfectly content.

Initially, Yan Wen had only agreed to listen to Song Lianhe’s so-called grand business plan out of politeness. But as she spoke, his expression grew increasingly serious, and he stared at her with unconcealed astonishment.

"The clinic is just our first step. Next, my focus will be on medicinal herbs and prepared medicines! Once we have the core technology, it’s equivalent to having a patent on this business! Think about it, how much money does a single patient spend on a consultation and a prescription? Even if a doctor sits here all day, how many patients can he see?"

Song Lianhe scribbled calculations on the paper, one number after another, until the total grew to a massive sum.

Even Yan Wen couldn’t help but be stunned. "Will it really make this much?"

"Heh, and this is just for Ling’an City! In the future, I plan to develop agencies for our prepared medicines and recruit a team of medical representatives to expand the business to other regions. Of course, the primary principle of the medical industry is to benefit the people. To that end, I will also establish a medical school. The school will be free for all apprentices eager to learn, regardless of whether they are ’good citizens’ or from the ’lowly registers’! After completing their studies, if they wish to stay, they can work as consulting physicians or medical representatives. After all, the money we earn from the people should be used for the people! What do you think?"

She looked up at Yan Wen, only to find him staring at her without blinking, his clear, cold eyes now filled with deep emotion.

The phrase "regardless of whether they are ’good citizens’ or from the ’lowly registers’" had moved Yan Wen beyond words.

This was the very goal he had been striving for throughout all his years of study!

No one can choose their birth, yet in reality, the labels of status and identity become barriers that stand in one’s way.

Yan Wen had always hoped to change the status quo through his own efforts, even if it was just by speaking up for them. He never imagined that his ideals would align so perfectly with Song Lianhe’s. 𝒇𝙧𝙚𝓮𝙬𝙚𝓫𝒏𝓸𝓿𝓮𝒍.𝓬𝙤𝓶

It was hard to imagine that a young lady raised in the seclusion of her chambers could possess such a broad-minded perspective. Yan Wen couldn’t help but see her in a new light. It seemed he had greatly misunderstood her in the past.

When the two of them came downstairs, the atmosphere was harmonious. There was even a new light shining in Yan Wen’s eyes.

Su Huaqing glanced toward the staircase, his eyes narrowing in suspicion.

’Before they came, Yan Wen had been in low spirits after hearing that Song Xilan had gone to the Hairpin Flower Banquet. The only reason I’d accompanied him today was to help him take his mind off things.’

’And yet, Song Lianhe managed to coax him out of it with just a few words!’

’What kind of bewitching potion did that woman make him drink?!’
