My Youth Began With Him

“I can… deal with Huo Siqian, but… I won’t be doing it for you, because the price of doing so is too great, and you won’t be able to make up for the losses I would suffer if I were to deal with him, even if you wipe my shoe or pour me tea. I always weigh the pros and cons before doing anything… Setting aside our past grudges, with our current relationship, I can’t help you, even if you give me all your shares of the Huo Corporation…”

Then, Huo Mian turned around to leave, leaving Huo Yanyan standing there, a little disappointed…

In the past, her mother always said she wasn’t as smart as Huo Mian. She didn’t use to believe her mother, but now she did.

Huo Mian always thought before she acted. Therefore, she had all the intelligence and resources in the world to deal with Huo Siqian, since she also had Qin Chu’s help.

Sadly, Huo Mian didn’t agree to help her; she was right, though, the sacrifices of standing on the opposing side of Huo Siqian were too grave.

She had no reason to do so, especially to help someone like Huo Yanyan. Was she kidding?

Just as Huo Mian walked to a corner and was about to go get some food, Qin Chu walked up to her and put his arm around her shoulder.

“Honey, are you tired?” he asked gently, and Huo Mian shook her head.

“If you’re tired, let’s go home…”

“No, it’s okay, I have a feeling that Rick is a good friend of yours, you should stay here to support him.”

“Smart girl… you’re right, Rick and I are really close, and he’s helped me out a lot. The things he’s done for me cannot be calculated with money…”

“That’s why I have to stay here with you.” Huo Mian smiled.

Qin Chu reached out his hand and rubbed her face, his expression filled with adoration.

Song Yishi stood not far away from them, her heart filled with endless fury…

Why? Huo Mian wasn’t as pretty as she was, but why did Qin Chu love her so much? He loved her so much that he refused to even look at her…

At this thought, Song Yishi strutted over in her high heels; after Huo Siqian spilled wine all over her mink shawl and dress, she changed into a ruby-blue gown and tied her hair up in an elegant bun.

She wore a beautiful smile on her face the entire time, and a woman of her status quickly became the center of attention.

It was too bad that Qin Chu wasn’t interested in her, no matter how pretty she looked and how perfect she seemed.

“Qin Chu…” she opened her mouth from afar.

Huo Mian and Qin Chu were enjoying a romantic moment when they heard someone call Qin Chu’s name, so they turned around together.

As soon as she saw Song Yishi, Huo Mian stopped smiling and immediately felt moody…

Qin Chu, on the other hand, looked at her with slight detestation.

“When did you guys come? I didn’t see you guys just now.” She smiled, seemingly still trying to get close to Huo Mian.

Qin Chu didn’t feel like answering, but Huo Mian nodded. “We’ve been here for a while.”

“Qin Chu, my dad’s here as well, he was asking about you just now.” Song Yishi looked up at Qin Chu, who answered faintly, “I’ve said hi to him already.”

“Oh… I see…” Song Yishi replied a little awkwardly.

Huo Mian suddenly thought of something and smiled at Song Yishi, “Miss Song, thank you for recording that video of me at Wei Liao and Xiaowei’s wedding the other day, and thank you for showing that video to my husband… Because of the video, he agreed to buy me the best piano on the market, you’re such a great person… Even my friend forgot to record my performance, but you didn’t. Plus, the angle was perfect, thank you!”

Song Yishi’s expression changed upon hearing this, and then she laughed awkwardly, “Oh, yeah? I’m glad you like it.”

“Of course I do, I even saved that video. My husband was shocked at how well I played pop music on the piano…” Then, Huo Mian gently pecked Qin Chu’s right cheek, right in front of Song Yishi, leaving Mr. Qin’s heart fluttering with butterflies…

All Song Yishi could do was smile awkwardly… She never thought that Huo Mian would joke about what happened. Talk about awkwardness…

“Miss Song… you really are a great person. Not only did you send the video to my husband, but you also sent it to my mother-in-law. She came to praise me on my piano skills. You’ve really helped me out this time, how could I ever repay your kindness?” Huo Mian linked arms with Qin Chu; she smiled at Song Yishi as if she really did appreciate her tattling.

Song Yishi’s face churned, and her blush-covered face turned pale white… It was a sight to see.
