Chapter: 1964
Ito Toshio looked at Leaf Qian and spoke seriously: "Mr. Leaf, you Chinese believe in the concept of rebirth, don't you? Look back at what happened tonight – Minako-chan was sitting in a wheelchair after being injured, with the doctor confidently saying she might never be able to stand up again. But now..."
Ito Toshio patted his own knee lightly and chuckled self-deprecatingly: "Now the woman who was declared impossible to stand up by the doctor has stood up again, while I've lost my legs. So say it loud and clear – this is a cycle of life!"
Leaf Qian's eyebrows furrowed slightly as he opened his mouth to say, "Mr. Ito, I don't quite understand the meaning of your words."
Ito Toshio smiled and said, "My intention is that even if you leave Japan today and swear you'll never come back again, but when fate's wheel turns around, it's very possible that you'll be sent back here, even if you're unable to resist!"
"It's the same principle for your wife too. Even if you think you'll never divorce her, fate's wheel might separate you in some future day."
"In this world of uncertainty, everything is mixed and muddled. Mr. Leaf, you're still young and have many years of life ahead of you. Why must you speak so absolutely now?"
Ito Toshio's words left Leaf Qian with a sense of bewilderment.
Firstly, he didn't think Ito Toshio would understand Chinese culture so well;
secondly, he also didn't think Ito Toshio would mention reincarnation.
He didn't know if Japanese people believed in feng shui, but now it seems they at least believe in fate.
Ito Toshio's words, at first glance seemed like a meaningless chatter, but subtly contained some philosophical reasoning.
Everything he said wasn't just a fleeting impression, after all, one's fate is something that no one can fully grasp.
He recalled the centenarian geomancer he met on Mount Leaf in Yanjing, Lai Qinghua.
Lai Qinghua was able to ultimately meet himself through his calculations of cyclical destiny and the manipulation of his own luck.
It was also he who personally broke through the restrictions of his auspicious hour and shallow estuary, allowing him to soar to great heights.
That old gentleman undoubtedly had a deeper understanding and insight into cyclical destiny.
Unfortunately, the old gentleman would likely not have the opportunity to meet again in the future, on the other side of the ocean.
Otherwise, I would have truly liked to sit facing him, enjoy tea, discuss and chat for hours.
However, in this moment, Leaf Qian suddenly thought about Ito Toshio's previous words.
Cyclical destiny may recur, or perhaps in the future, I will meet Lai Qinghua again.
The same principle applies, if I leave Tokyo and Japan today, who knows, maybe one day I'll have another chance to return.
Even if I don't return, I should still have the opportunity to reunite with Ito Nana at some point in time or place.
As I thought about this, Leaf Qian let out a sigh, telling Ito Toshio, "Ito-san, I think it's best to leave future matters for the future. After all, neither of us can control our fate."
Ito Toshio nodded seriously and said, "From today on, the gate of Ito Family will be opened to you at any time. For the next period, Ito Family is preparing and strengthening ourselves, not cooperating with any other overseas families or companies. If one day you have enough ambition and want to expand your vision, Ito Family can cooperate with you unconditionally!"
Leaf Qian laughed and said, "Thank you for your kindness, Ito-san, but as for me, I don't have big aspirations or attend any prestigious schools, nor do I have the ability. So let's just go with the flow." JrNovels.com
