My Youth Began With Him

“It’s simple. We’ll see how she reacts to our visit… Then I’ll consider what we shall do next.”

“She’s a homewrecker; how do you expect she’d react?” Zhu Lingling hated Chen Yuning and had the urge to barge into the bureau and scratch the latter’s face.

But Huo Mian wouldn’t let her do it.

Firstly, she’d humiliate herself and Gao Ran. As the bureau chief, he’d become a laughingstock and lose all his dignity before his subordinates.

Secondly, when the wife throws a tantrum in the husband’s office, the other woman would always play the victim; most men wouldn’t like their wives to act like fierce tigresses.

Huo Mian didn’t want Lingling to lose her dignity in this fight, so she directed this show today.

“Mian, will something come out of today’s visit?”

“Just wait and see…”

Chen Yuning was indeed a high-level homewrecker, but Huo Mian was tough, too; she was sure she’d win.

The most important thing was that Gao Ran was oblivious to all her antics.

“Lingling, you can’t do wrong with your Gao Ran anymore. If the cold war between you guys continues, you’d hurt his feelings and give that woman an opportunity. Then you will cry.”

Huo Mian instructed Zhu Lingling again.

“I know. I’ll right all the wrongs I did to him.”

Knowing her man did nothing wrong, Zhu Lingling was very pleased.

“Fine, we’ll talk on WeChat later. I’ll head back to the hospital now.”

“Okay.”

The chauffeur drove Huo Mian back to the hospital after driving Zhu Lingling home.

In the evening, Chen Yuning got off work and came to help her parents in the restaurant.

The Chen Family wasn’t rich but had earned some money with this small restaurant.

Her parents spoiled their only child and didn’t need her to give them any money after she got a job. They provided her with food and housing and even gave her money when she needed it.

It was why she could afford to buy clothes to match Gao Ran’s.

“Mom, you bought bird nest?”

Seeing the bird nest and sea cucumber on the counter, Chen Yuning was surprised.

“No, I’d never spend money on this stuff; it’s burning money. Those are gifts from your leader, no, the wife of your leader. She came to visit us today.”

“Our leader’s wife?”

Chen Yuning was more puzzled.

“Yeah, your Chief Gao’s wife came today.”

Hearing this, Chen Yuning’s heart lurched…

Then she asked guiltily, “What… did she want?”

“She said you’re doing very well in the bureau. Chief Gao often praises you for your diligence, so she came to visit us with many gifts for your dad and me. We are flattered. Mrs. Gao is beautiful and gentle; Chief Gao is a lucky guy… I hear their son is several years old now. What a good family…”

Chen Yuning didn’t pay attention to the rest of her mom’s talk; she was smart and knew Zhu Lingling had come with a purpose.

She had thought Zhu Lingling would talk to her in private, but to her surprise, the latter came to her parents.

“Mom, what… else did you say?”

Chen Yuning was a bit afraid that Zhu Lingling had said something bad about her to her parents who were honest and straight-forward people.

“By the way, the girl who came with her was also very nice. She’s pregnant and looks like she’ll be in labor soon… She kept praising our rice noodles.”

Hearing these words, Chen Yuning’s face turned darker.

Zhu Lingling’s bestie? Pregnant? Was she the legendary…Huo Mian?
