My Youth Began With Him

“Mian, I know you want to get rid of Huo Siqian too. I know that you and Qin Chu have been collecting evidence to prove him guilty and give Song Yishi the justice she deserves… But if he really has some mental disease, then he won’t be held responsible… That’s a flaw in our legislation, that a mentally diseased patient won’t be held responsible for murder…”

“How do I know if he’s actually sick or if he’s just faking it? We need the respective officers to go test and examine him. It’s not like you can prove that you’re mentally ill just because you take medicine or suffer from insomnia.” Huo Mian thought Huo Yanyan was oversimplifying the situation.

“I don’t care if he’s really sick or not. I just want him to… die…” Huo Yanyan uttered these words with hatred overflowing from her eyes.

Huo Mian was not surprised by the hatred that Huo Yanyan displayed because she knew Huo Yanyan did not do all the work to be with Shen Mingxi out of love. She also didn’t do it because she wanted to live a more luxurious lifestyle. Instead, she did it out of her desire to seek vengeance on Huo Siqian.

“Yanyan, I know you hate him. I know you want your revenge but it’s not that easy with Huo Siqian…” Huo Mian knew the situation wasn’t as simple as Huo Yanyan thought, especially after she found out about Huo Siqian’s relationship with Ian.

“Mian, are you softening up on him? I know that Huo Siqian loved you all these years. For all of these years, although he had done a lot of nasty stuff to us, to you, he still loves you sincerely. When Siyi kidnapped you, he almost died for you. Is that why you can’t actually bring up your nerve to kill him?”

“No. This has nothing to do with that. No matter how he is to me, I won’t forget what harm he has done to me and my family. My husband separated from me for four years. He had to be alone in another country for four years… He still has his old leg wounds from that incident. This was all because of Huo Siqian and I will never forget that.”

Then let’s work together… If you’re willing to help me, I’m sure we can get rid of him in a jiffy. Even if we can’t kill him directly, we can make him lose everything. We can take back what was ours! We can redeem our family’s pride rather than leave everything to that bastard, that foster child… Although my father hasn’t treated him well all those years, he still raised that bastard. How dare he kill my father! If it weren’t for him, my mother, Siyi, and I wouldn’t have lived such miserable lives. I hate him! I hate him!” Huo Yanyan shouted as tears rolled down her face.

Huo Mian knew Huo Yanyan wasn’t acting because she didn’t need to act in front of her.

Yanyan, I understand but it’s just not that simple with Huo Siqian. There’s a stronger force behind him. We need to know what we’re dealing with. We can’t act before we’re absolutely sure we can defeat them all at once. My husband is gathering evidence of their crimes. His progress has been good but we’re still waiting for the right timing…” Huo Mian didn’t tell Huo Yanyan about Ian. All she did was warn her that there was someone bigger than Huo Siqian, and this greater power was supporting Huo Siqian.

However, Huo Yanyan was only interested in seeking her revenge now.

“Fine. If you’re not willing to help, then I’ll do it alone. I will never forgive him!” Huo Yanyan gave a light sigh and said, “No need to explain. I know your situation. Thank you for your time.” Huo Yanyan was disappointed in Huo Mian for not agreeing to team up with her to fight against Huo Siqian. Her attitude towards Huo Mian immediately turned remote.

Huo Mian could only sigh because there was nothing she could do to help.

Meanwhile, the twins were eating abalone at a luxury restaurant with their grandparents.

To their surprise, they bumped into Huo Siqian, who was meeting with his client at the very same restaurant.

“Hey, my lovely girls. It’s been a while…” Huo Siqian kneeled down to greet the twins at a relatively close distance.
