My Youth Began With Him

“What goes around surely comes around, you never expected something like this to happen, am I right?” Qin Chu asked, his gaze sweeping past Huo Siqian’s face.

“Haha, you’re right, but the good news is that useless garbage Huo Siyi killed himself, or else I would have had to finish him off myself… Truth be told, I didn’t think I’d get so badly injured. I’m glad Mian is fine though.”

“Mian will always be fine, she has me protecting her. You don’t have to worry about a thing,” Qin Chu responded icily.

Upon hearing this, Huo Siqian merely changed the subject with a smile. “I heard that bitch, Mo Xue’er, came looking for you. What, do you plan on ganging up on me with her?”

“Do you think I’d work with her? I don’t need anyone’s help to defeat you, fair and square.”

“Oh yeah? Should I be filled with anticipation?” Huo Siqian laughed arrogantly.

“You should, I’m sure you will see more and more great surprises down the road,” Qin Chu said, turning around to leave with a sneer.

“Sir, we need to guard ourselves against Qin Chu, he might have more intel on us. After he tipped-off Mo Xue’er’s scandal last time, the company suffered severe losses…” Huo Siqian’s assistant reminded.

“I know. I don’t care how much losses I suffer, nothing is as important to me as she is… I honestly wish to fight to the death with Qin Chu. If I win… perhaps I would be able to take her with me.”

Then, Huo Siqian finished off the champagne in his glass and walked into the crowd of people.

Huo Mian rarely wore heels, so she quickly felt uncomfortable in them, feeling pain spreading from her ankle. Therefore, she slowly walked over to the side, placed down the champagne flute in her hand, and looked down to adjust her shoes.

However, she couldn’t bend down in her elegant dress…

At this time, Su Yu turned around to see Huo Mian by herself, so he immediately walked up to her. “What’s wrong?”

“Um, nothing.” Huo Mian was too embarrassed to admit that her shoes were giving her trouble.

“Did you hurt your foot? The way you walked just now looked weird.” Su Yu had attentively noticed how awkward Huo Mian’s steps were just now.

Seeing that she couldn’t keep it from him any longer, Huo Mian nodded. “Mhm, I think I scraped my ankle.”

As soon as he heard this, Su Yu immediately bent down and carefully held Huo Mian’s ankle up, making her feel as awkward as could be. “Su Yu, don’t do that, we’re in public.”

“It’s okay, there’s nothing going on between us, that’s why I have the guts to do something like this. Plus, I’m just taking a look at your injury…” Su Yu said, carefully examining Huo Mian’s wound before walking up to a server and asking him for a band-aid.

Then, he was just about to put the band-aid on Huo Mian when he remembered what she just said. Afraid that the reporters would write gossip about them, he walked up to Qin Ning and waved at her. “Hey…”

Feeling a bit surprised and flattered, Qin Ning replied, “Hey…”

“Um, can you give me a hand?” Su Yu asked.

“Sure, what’s up?”

“Can you place this band-aid on Huo Mian’s left ankle? She scraped it…”

“Oh… sure.” Truth be told, Qin Ning was a bit disappointed by Su Yu’s request; the fact that Su Yu only talked to her so that she could help her sister-in-law upset her.

“Thank you.” Su Yu then gave Qin Ning the band-aid before turning around to leave.

“Sis-in-Law, you hurt your ankle?” Qin Ning walked up to Huo Mian and asked slowly.
