“Shut the h.e.l.l up! Don’t you dare talk about him like that! Qin Chu is the person that loves me the most in this world. He’s not selfish at all. It’s because of his love that he always tries to think from my perspective, and that’s why you got the chance to manipulate him. It’s because he loves me so much that he’d rather take on all the pain by himself. I owe him so much, and I’m willing to repay him with the rest of my life. If I don’t have the chance this lifetime, I will wait until my next life!”
“Haha, so does that mean you are not infatuated with Su Yu yet?” Huo Siqian chuckled out loud and asked.
“Su Yu saved my life, he will always be the most important friend I have.”
“Just friends, eh? Haha, it seems like Su Yu is even more pitiful than I am! I’ve done so much harm to you, but you will remember me forever because you hate me. But him? He’s done so much for you, but you’ve friend-zoned him forever. That’s why I will never be as dumb as him – silently give when knowing he will never have what he want.”
“To each’s own. To be honest, no matter how much money you have, or how much power you have, you’ll never be at the same level as Su Yu. Su Yu is like the sea that can contain water from thousands of rivers because of his greatness. But you? You’re destined to be stuck in a corner, all on your own. You’ll run in circles in that corner, and continue to be the narrow-minded a.s.shole you are.”
“Haha, nice one. So what if I’m an a.s.shole? I really couldn’t care less about what others think of me. You’re the only one I care about in this world.”
“You’re wrong! You only care about yourself!” Huo Mian reb.u.t.ted immediately.
“Fine. It’s not like we reach a verdict every time, so there’s no point in debating. Hurry up and eat, the dishes are about to get cold.”
“No.”
“Are you scared that I’d drug you?” Huo Siqian smiled slightly. Huo Mian only looked at him without replying.
Suddenly, Huo Siqian’s subordinate walked in. “Boss, Su Yu and his people are on their way. They’ll be here within five minutes.”
“Can’t I have a peaceful moment to enjoy dinner? Ugh.” Huo Siqian wiped his hands with a wet towelette and stood up.
“What are you going to do?” Huo Mian watched him cautiously.
“What? Are you scared that I will hurt him? Your knight in s.h.i.+ning armor?”
“Huo Siqian, I’m warning you. Don’t you dare do anything reckless. Su Yu is the Su Family’s only grandchild. If anything happens to him, you’ll die a miserable death,” Huo Mian warned.
“Don’t try to intimidate me, Mian. These psychological tactics don’t work on me. I’m not like those idiots, so save your breath.” As Huo Siqian spoke, he got up from his chair. However, before he even reached the front door, the door was kicked wide open from the outside.
With a deadly look on his face, Su Yu walked in and scanned the room. He was relieved to find Huo Mian standing there, in one piece.
An and several subordinates followed in behind him. There weren’t many of them, but they came prepared.
An always kept a low profile, but Huo Mian knew he had been with Su Yu for the longest. He looked rather average and seemed mediocre in business management. But, for him to be able to follow Su Yu for so long, he must have certain outstanding traits.
Seeing that Huo Mian was okay, Su Yu felt the heaviness leave his heart. Then, without saying anything, he walked up and grabbed Huo Mian’s wrist in an attempt to lead her out of this G.o.dd.a.m.n place.
“Mian, are you okay?”
“I’m fine.” Huo Mian nodded.
“Good. Let’s go home.” Su Yu held on to her wrist tightly, as if he was afraid she would disappear in a split second.
Just as they headed towards the door, someone stepped in and suddenly stopped them.
“What do you think you’re doing? Do you dare to stand in my way?” Su Yu whipped his head around and glared at Huo Siqian with the coldest stare.
