My Youth Began With Him

“Everyone in our circle knows about it. Su Yu gave the order to find the girls immediately and many of his friends are helping. Although… my relationship with him kind of crumbled, I should still help. If I find them, maybe I can better my relationship with him. You know how much he cares about the twins,” Shen Mingxi explained.

“Oh, I see…” Huo Yanyan looked like her mind was somewhere else.

“Yanyan, what’s wrong? Why do you look so tired? Are you sick?” Shen Mingxi was worried about Huo Yanyan’s colorless face.

“No… nothing, I’m okay. Maybe I was just carsick.”

“Oh, yeah, where’s your mom?”

“They… um, they’re still with my relatives. They wanted to stay longer,” Huo Yanyan continued to lie.

“Oh, did you tell them about the house? Don’t worry. She’s your mother and the only family you have left. I will treat her well for sure.”

“I know.” Huo Yanyan truly felt guilty.

Shen Mingxi was good to her. He even wanted to buy her mom a house.

Shen Jiani, however, didn’t even acknowledge the house. She was too busy plotting against Qin Chu and Huo Mian. With a perfect plan of getting one billion in ransom money, it wasn’t a surprise that she overlooked Shen Mingxi’s little gift.

“Uncle Shen, I…” Tiantian wanted to say something but was cut off by Huo Yanyan.

“Tiantian, let’s go. We have to go to school.”

“She doesn’t look well. Maybe she should stay home for a day,” Shen Mingxi advised.

“We can’t. I have a lot of things to do today. Mingxi, hurry up and go to work, don’t waste your time.”

“Alright. Oh, right, Yanyan, once I finish up this project, I’ll bring the results to my father and talk to him about us getting married. He’ll definitely say yes. I know that there are a lot of rumors about you floating around and I can’t let that go on any longer. I’ll give you a name and I’ll give you and your daughter a safe home.”

Shen Mingxi truly regarded Huo Yanyan as his tender solace, still weaving a fairytale-like love story.

Unfortunately…

“That’s not urgent. We’ll talk about it later.” Huo Yanyan’s expression looked unnatural.

After they got into the car, Huo Yanyan warned her daughter once again, “Tiantian, we can’t talk about the girls anymore, got it?”

“I know, Mommy.”

“Tiantian, remember. If you talk about them again, you, Mommy, and Grandma will all die. Even Uncle Shen will get into serious trouble, got it?”

“I know, I don’t want Mommy to die so I won’t say anything.”

The little girl was weak against threats so she didn’t dare to say anything more.

After Huo Yanyan sent her daughter to kindergarten, she still felt unsettled.

Just then, her mother called her with a new number.

“Yanyan…”

“Mom.”

“Are you home yet? Is Tiantian at school?”

“Yes.” Huo Yanyan nodded.

“Yanyan, Uncle Jun looks cold but he’s actually very kind. He always takes care of me… so…” Shen Jiani hesitated.

“Mom, stop. I know, I won’t tell anyone about it and I won’t report it. You’re my mom. I can’t watch you die…” Huo Yanyan’s heart was more than heavy.

“That’s good, then. Oh right, I forgot to tell you something.”

“Go ahead.”

“Uncle Jun has avenged you. I told him to do it. Isn’t he incredibly loyal?”

“Mom, what do you mean? Avenge what?” Huo Yanyan was dumbfounded.
