My Youth Began With Him

“I know,” Huo Mian answered calmly.

“When he first chose me, I was overjoyed. I thought I got super lucky to be with someone of that status… He was extremely generous and paid for my everything. That made so many people envious, haha… A while later, I found out that I was only a substitute. He often looked at my face with a distant look and said your name…”

“Ms. Wang, please get to the point. My time is precious.”

“I was pregnant with his child… But he forced me to get an abortion.”

Huo Mian wasn’t too surprised by what she heard, as Mo Xue’er had faced the same fate. If someone like Mo Xue’er couldn’t give birth to Huo Siqian’s child, then Wang Shasha wasn’t even in question.

“Actually, not having a child is understandable… After all, I am just a toy to him. I never took it seriously, but he denied ever touching me, and even said that the kid wasn’t his… That pissed me off…”

“He denied it?”

Huo Mian didn’t think Huo Siqian would be such a coward.

“Did he suspect that you were seeing another person?” Huo Mian asked.

Wang Shasha shook her head. “No, he forgot that he touched me. It’s weird, actually. He kept me by his side for a long time, but he never touched me, like, you know… He wouldn’t have a physical relationship with me… However, about a month ago, he suddenly walked into my room and took my clothes off. He was paying me, so I didn’t dare to fight back. His behavior was weird, he did it without speaking one single word and left right after… He didn’t even talk to me.”

Wang Shasha carefully thought back to that day…

“What happened afterward?” Huo Mian’s interest was piqued.

“He went back to my place time and again, but he never touched me nor brought up what happened that night.”

“Did he get drunk and forget?” Huo Mian asked.

Wang Shasha shook her head. “It shouldn’t be the reason. He didn’t reek of alcohol and his eyes looked conscious. He did act differently than usual, it felt as if he was a whole different person.”

After Wang Shasha finished speaking, Huo Mian suddenly remembered that night at GK, when she was basically cornered by Huo Siqian. He also denied doing it after the fact.

Huo Siqian didn’t look like he was lying either.

Now that Wang Shasha brought it up, she was now concerned and became alert.

There were many questionable points…

“Huo Mian, say, do you think Huo Siqian is mentally ill?” Wang Shasha suddenly asked.

“Why would you ask that?”

“I think that he has many secrets, it’s strange.”

“Do you think that he might have a body double?” looking at Wang Shasha, Huo Mian asked.

“I don’t think a body double or a twin is possible.”

“Why?”

“When we did it that night, I looked at him and saw a red birthmark on the left side of his chest. I’ve seen it before when he was changing. That was him for sure, I think that he might be mentally unstable which led to short term memory loss and his strange actions…”

“It doesn’t seem possible, he has health checkups regularly at South Side. He’s very healthy, and not only is he mentally healthy, he is also very intelligent and cunning.”

Huo Mian disagreed with Wang Shasha’s opinion and didn’t believe that Huo Siqian was mentally ill.

“I just found it weird, I’ve seen him do work on you recently. Anyway, be careful of him. Really, this is out of the good will.”

“Thank you for your warning.” Huo Mian was still very calm.

“Alright, you can go back to your work. I’m leaving. I’ve decided not to stay here anymore, and I’m going back to my family home in a few days. I’ll marry an honest guy and live out my days. I have some savings, I’ll go do some business back home.”

“Goodbye.”

Just as Wang Shasha was about to walk out of the door, Huo Mian suddenly remembered something and shouted, “Ms. Wang, please wait.”

“What is it?” Wang Shasha turned around.

“The night Song Yishi died, was Huo Siqian really with Mo Xue’er?” Huo Mian wanted to ask Wang Shasha to see if she knew something about Song Yishi’s case; perhaps she might be able to find a flaw.
