Chapter 4105: Su Yu’s Defeat (5)
Hearing his words, Han Yueyao forced out a smile.
“I don’t think my boss will come. It’s a small contest; it’s not important to him.”
Han Yueyao had a feeling that Su Yu wouldn’t come.
Since his return, Su Yu didn’t even reply to her WeChat messages, which showed how unimportant she was in Su Yu’s heart.
“No way. The rumors say Su Yu dotes on you. How come he won’t come?” the fellow said the words with jealousy.
“You’re a big gossip… I think you’ll do better as a paparazzi.” Han Yueyao joked. Before Yuan Bo could reply, she walked to the center of the stage to practice, refusing to talk about Su Yu again.
Yuan Bo could see she had a lot on her mind.
In South Hill Manor.
Qin Chu explained the whole thing briefly to his parents and told them about the loss of their baby.j
His parents were devastated that their grandson was gone, but they were sensible old people.
Qin Chu’s father looked at Huo Mian with worry in his eyes. “Mian, you suffered a lot and must get some good rest now that you’re back. We’re greatly indebted to the Su Family. It’s great that Su Yu could come back safe. You did the right thing. We don’t blame you.”
“Thank you, Dad.” Huo Mian nodded.
“Yeah. Your father is right. Our Qin Family are not ungrateful people. Su Yu was kidnapped and you did the right thing to help him. I’m sorry the baby is gone, but you are still young and will have another baby. Mian, have a good rest.” Qin Chu’s mother comforted her.
“Mom, Dad, thank you for your understanding. Chu and I will work hard to give you a grandson,” Qin Chu thought Huo Mian said the words just to sooth his parents and didn’t say anything.
After chatting with Qin Chu’s parents for a while, Huo Mian went upstairs. Zhu Lingling, Gao Boyuan, and the twins followed her.
The girls ran into their mother’s arms.
“Mommy, our younger brother is gone, right?” Little Bean looked at her mommy’s flat belly sadly.
“I’ll give you another brother, okay?” Huo Mian touched Little Bean’s head.
“But I like this brother. Although my sister and I always called him Qin Guoguo, we never wanted him to be our scapegoat (note: Guo in Chinese means taking blame for others); we’d love and protect him.” Little Bean seemed to love this brother she had never met.
“Okay. Little Bean, Mommy is sad, too. Don’t talk about it.” Pudding was more considerate and stopped her sister from talking more about the topic.
The girls chatted with their mother for a while and Qin Chu told them to bring Gao Boyuan to play in the next room.
When Qin Chu went to the kitchen and instructed the housemaids to make ginseng soup for Huo Mian, Zhu Lingling and Huo Mian were left alone in the bedroom.
“You almost scared me to death. Being your bestie is like riding a roller coaster.” With red-rimmed eyes, Zhu Lingling reached out and held Huo Mian’s hand tightly.
“Huh? Mian, your hand feels so cold…”
Zhu Lingling was surprised by the chilliness of Huo Mian’s hand.
Huo Mian drew back her hand and smiled calmly.
“My hands have been like this for days, probably because of the induced abortion.”
“You suffered a lot…”
“Okay. Stop crying. It’s thrilling to be my bestie…”
“Mian… Since no one is around, I must ask you: did you make Chen Yuning disappear?”
Zhu Lingling knew about Chen Yuning’s disappearance by accident and found it was weird. But she hadn’t had the chance to ask about it after Huo Mian was in trouble.
Now that they were alone, Zhu Lingling finally got the chance to ask Huo Mian about it.
