My Youth Began With Him

“Ahem, uh, Big Brother Mingxi, that’s all I can help you with in terms of school. You need to decide for yourself which school you want to choose for the child. I need to get going now, I have something to do.”

“Okay.” Shen Mingxi nodded and saw her out.

“Thank you for helping me with the school. When I’m less busy, I’ll treat you to dinner.”

“You don’t have to be so polite, I was just helping out with what I can, ha.”

Wei Ying wasn’t used to Shen Mingxi’s sudden kindness.

When she was growing up, she got used to seeing Shen Mingxi’s cold face.

So, she found an excuse and left the Shen Corporation.

– On the island –

Huo Mian calculated the time, and when it was approaching, she couldn’t fall asleep.

She got ready and wandered by the shore where the boat could port. She knew that that was where Huo Siqian’s men were landing.

At that moment, the sky was just lighting up…

The sun slowly rose from the horizon far away. The first ray of sunlight illuminated the ocean. The painting-like scenery made Huo Mian fall into a trance.

Maybe it was because she knew that she was almost off the island, she was in a great mood and began humming…

“Softly wake the sleeping soul, slowly open your eyes.”

“Look at the busy world, see if it’s still spinning alone.”

“The spring winds have awoken the youth’s heart, letting memories dry yesterday’s tears…”

It was an old song, but it was Huo Mian’s favorite song when she was attending school. Every time she listened to it, she could calm down.

Most importantly, it was filled with positive energy. In high school, Qin Chu knew that she liked it and went out of his way to get her the collector’s album.

As long as she was still alive, she would have hope, right?

After some time, she saw a white speedboat approaching from far away.

Huo Mian couldn’t hold back her excitement and shot up.

She had already thought about how to deal with these people thousands of times.

When the boat parked in shallow waters, a dozen tall men walked down.

The leader was a buff white man with brown hair. He was wearing a white Armani t-shirt and black sunglasses.

The dozen men following him were all foreigners.

Huo Mian carefully approached them…

Before she could get close, they pointed their guns at her.

“Who are you? Stop,” he said in English and made Huo Mian stop about five meters away.

“You’re Riley, right?” Huo Mian smiled at the leader.

“Why are you here?” It looked like he knew full well who Huo Mian was.

“It looks like I am right,” Huo Mian didn’t reply to him, she simply spoke to herself.

“Where’s my boss?” Riley looked around, and since he didn’t see Huo Siqian, he became on guard.

“You’re talking about Huo Siqian, right? It’s a little complicated,” Huo Mian replied in fluent English.

Riley’s facial expression changed slightly. He took a gun from his men and walked in front of Huo Mian.

He pushed the gun barrel against Huo Mian’s head…

“Say it, where is my boss? What did you do to him?” Riley looked extremely ruthless.

It looked like he was hostile towards Huo Mian.
