Chapter 594 Father and Daughter Farewell

2035
Glory and Ronghua left Huayan and have been living alone ever since, but they have never felt lonely because Huayan has taken care of them just like she took care of Hua Jingxing, allowing them to experience the joy of family life.
They passed on all their skills to Hua Yan's three children, just like Miao Xianxing and Hu Zhiang, and also left their estates to these children.

2045
At 67, Hua Yan has completely relinquished control of her business empire.
That year, Hua Jingxing passed away peacefully at the age of ninety-five. Before his death, he held Hua Yan's hand and said with a smile:
"Jiu'er, I am content with my life. Having three such outstanding daughters is enough."
Hua Jingxing tremblingly reached out to wipe away the tears from Hua Yan's eyes.
"Don't cry, your father Chai, father Hai, Uncle Liang, and Uncle Jiu are all waiting for me over there!"
Three years have passed. Chai Lu, Hai Yitian, Liang Dong, and Qiu Jiu have all passed away, and now it's Hua Jingxing's turn. Without Hua Yan, they might not have lived to such an old age. Each person departed without sorrow or regret, but with a heart full of contentment, for they were fortunate to have met Hua Yan.
"Dad! You will always live in my heart."
In her past life, Hua Jingxing passed away in his sixties due to a serious illness. For the first two years after his death, Hua Yan thought of him every day, consumed by regret and remorse. It was only the sudden death of one of her classmates that allowed her to let go of her obsession with Hua Jingxing.
Hua Yan suddenly understood then what it meant for life and death to be preordained, something no one could control. Therefore, in her past life, she channeled all her guilt towards Hua Jingxing into kindness towards Liu Fengzhi. Even though Liu Fengzhi treated Hua Yan badly, Hua Yan still did her best to take good care of her, thus repaying her guilt towards Hua Jingxing.
"Your mother is getting old, so don't take things to heart."
Just like in his previous life, Hua Jingxing still hopes for the best for Liu Fengzhi, even though she has many flaws.
"Dad! Don't worry, I'll take good care of her. If anything happens, just tell me in your dreams. If you've been mistreated, tell me too."
Hua Yan's tears had flowed like a river.
After Chai Lu and the others passed away, Hua Yan went to the Gates of Hell and talked with Yama, the King of Hell, for quite a while. Perhaps because she had gained an indestructible body, Yama treated her with respect and tried his best to fulfill her requests.
Hua Yan infused a wisp of her own essence into Hua Jingxing's soul, so that the King of Hell would know whose person she was.
Hua Jingxing nodded reluctantly. Although he knew he had already gotten his money's worth, he was still a little reluctant to part with these three children whom he had watched grow up in his arms.
Slowly closing his eyes, a single tear slid down his cheek. Hua Jingxing and Hua Yan had said goodbye forever. Only their tightly clasped hands told everyone that they had been sharing their heartfelt words just a moment ago.
Hua Jingxing's departure left Hua Yan despondent for a long time. Although she understood all the reasons, she was still heartbroken.
In her previous life, Hua Jingxing's death made Hua Yan experience what it meant to be heartbroken and devastated. Before, this word was just an adjective for Hua Yan, but Hua Jingxing's departure made her realize that it was a real verb.

2048
Chu Xiu and Liu Fengzhi left one after another, leaving Hua Yan with nowhere to come from and only a way to return home.
From then on, Hua Yan devoted herself to cultivation and no longer cared about any of the trivial matters of the business empire. Taiji acted like a dutiful butler, taking care of her wholeheartedly.
Taiji handed over his scientific research empire to Taihuaqiu, a child who possessed all the advantages of Huayan and Taiji. Working together with his two older brothers, he developed Yanxi Group and Yaojiu Group into the world's largest business empire.
These children possess the composure and wisdom of Hua Yan and Taiji, as well as Hua Yan's superhuman memory and thinking abilities, so Hua Yan has no worries. Moreover, under the tutelage of many experienced mentors, these children already have the ability to handle any problem.
Hu Zhiang is now so old and senile that he can no longer manage anything. All that remains in his mind are memories of Hua Yan, both from her past life and this one.
Heh! It's not that he's truly confused; it's that he can only survive on these memories. He sees Hua Yan less and less often because she spends most of her time cultivating, only appearing when there's a major event affecting the world.
Just like reclaiming Taiwan in 2035, reclaiming the islands surrounding the South China Sea in 2040, reclaiming the coastal area bordering Heilongjiang Province in 2042, reclaiming Mongolia in 2045, and accepting the vassalage of small countries surrounding China in 2047, etc. Only then will Hua Yan discuss countermeasures with him and Hua Jingcheng to help the country.
These kinds of important events are becoming increasingly rare, and he has fewer and fewer opportunities to see Hua Yan. Sometimes, he even feels a little dazed, wondering if he truly knows Hua Yan in this life. He's always preoccupied with gains and losses, which makes him seem somewhat confused to others.
In fact, Hua Yan had known for a long time that Hu Zhiang, like Taiji, possessed memories of his past life, but she never revealed it to him because she didn't know how to tell him about her own past.
Taiji could confide in him because they were intimate lovers. Hu Zhiang, on the other hand, could only be a close business partner and a relative without blood ties; they weren't close enough to share such secrets.
Furthermore, Hua Yan sensed Hu Zhiang's ambiguous feelings for her, so she was more inclined to avoid him. However, she instructed Hua Jingcheng to take good care of Hu Zhiang.
Alas! Poor Hu Zhiang! In his past life, he didn't have the chance to express his feelings, but he still had the chance to be buried next to Hua Yan after his death. I guess he won't even have that chance in this life.
Hua Jingcheng manages military factories all over the world. To put it simply, his abilities surpass even those of Hu Zhiang back in the day. He is decisive, calm, and exceptionally intelligent, rarely appearing in public, but everyone knows he's a powerful figure.

2050
Ninety-four-year-old Miao Xianxing lay in bed, looking at Hua Yan, whose face only aged but not wrinkled, and said with a smile:
“Ninth Master, seeing you makes me feel young again, but now you are still young, while I can no longer get up.”
Looking at the boss he had served loyally for his entire life, Miao Xianxing felt an overwhelming sense of reluctance.
He felt a pang of loss when Li Juan passed away ten years ago, but not as intensely as he does now. Hua Yan was his boss, his partner, and his closest friend. Without meeting Hua Yan, his life might have been entirely different. Hua Yan's presence enriched his life and made it more meaningful.
"Uncle Miao, it seems it's all my fault. I gave you too much work and you've exhausted yourself."
Hua Yan held Miao Xianxing's withered hand, unwilling to let go. As her relatives and close friends passed away one after another, even Hua Yan's strong heart could not bear the weight.
She dared not shed a tear, worried that Miao Xianxing would be saddened as well. She even dared not speak, fearing that she might accidentally break her voice.
"Jiu'er, thank you, thank you for your unconditional trust. If there is an afterlife, I hope we can meet again."
Miao Xianxing's eyes were full of reluctance.
"Uncle Miao, your dream will come true, and we will definitely meet again."
"Okay! Then... it's a promise... we'll meet... no matter what."
"Okay! See you there!"
As soon as Hua Yan finished speaking, Miao Xianxing closed his eyes with satisfaction.
It took Hua Yan a long time to recover from her grief. Miao Xianxing's departure, like Hua Jingxing's, dealt a heavy blow to Hua Yan. Although she knew this day would come sooner or later, when it actually arrived, she still felt unprepared.
Sometimes, Hua Yan selfishly considered leaving first so she wouldn't have to endure the pain of loss. But for Tai Ji's sake, she dismissed the thought. She couldn't let Tai Ji suffer the blow of losing her again, so she tried her best to outlive him.
