My Youth Began With Him

Huo Mian nodded…

“Sit… down…” Huo Zhenghai said with difficulty as his hands trembled, and she sat down quietly on a chair in front of his bed.

“Are you alright?” Huo Mian asked with sincerity; as a doctor, she felt bad upon seeing sick people.

“It is what it is… you can see that I’m dying…”

“Don’t say that. You should take care of yourself.”

“Mian… you always seemed so distant when talking to me. You hate me… don’t you? Because of how I treated you and your mom in the past…”

“No, I don’t hate you. Truth be told, I don’t have the right to hate you.”

Huo Zhenghai was confused by what Huo Mian said; he didn’t seem to have expected this from her.

Huo Mian slowly moved her head up to Huo Zhenghai and said quietly in his ear, “Mr. Huo, the truth is… I’ve always wanted to tell you this, but it never seemed like the right time. Since we’re here already, I might as well just tell you. Do you know why I didn’t take any of Huo Corporation’s stocks, nor did I spend a cent of your money?”

Upon seeing Huo Zhenghai shake his head, Huo Mian continued, “Because… I’m not even your daughter…”

“What?” Huo Zhenghai was shocked.

“I’m not your daughter. Nor am I my mom and Jing De’s daughter.”

“This…” He tried, but he couldn’t force any words out of his mouth.

“You might be surprised, so was I when I first found out. I have some questions to ask, so you have to tell me the truth…”

“Okay, ask.” Huo Zhenghai seemed to have finally calmed down after the initial shock.

“I heard you did a DNA test on me. Were you the one who contacted the doctor and picked up the rest results?”

“No, Jing De picked it up for me. I had asked my personal physician to do the test. Jing De had been my driver for years and knew that doctor as well, so I sent him.”

“Didn’t you suspect anything at the time?” Huo Mian asked.

“I did, so I called the doctor on my own, but he said the results were correct.”

“So, it seems like Jing De bribed your personal physician, and that’s why he lied…” As predicted, Uncle Jing was the mastermind behind her DNA test.

“Then… I heard you gave Uncle Jing 200,000 yuan to send my mom off. Did you really?”

“Yes, I gave Jing De cash and he picked it up at the company’s Finance Department. Back then… I thought your mother would stop causing trouble for me and expose things from our past, so I thought that was that,” Huo Zhenghai recalled carefully.

“But Jing De never gave my mom that money, I confirmed it with her as well. She said she never received an amount as big as 200,000 yuan.”

Huo Zhenghai was speechless…

“So he probably used this money to bride those people…”

“But why would he do that?” surprised, Huo Zhenghai asked.

“To hide my identity. He didn’t want anyone, including my mom, to know that I’m not yours or her child…”

“But Rong was pregnant back then. If you’re not my child, then why did she go?” Huo Zhenghai was sure Yang Meirong was pregnant with his child because they were together a lot back then. So, if Huo Mian wasn’t his child, then where was his actual child? Where did she go?
