My Youth Began With Him

Chapter 3071 At that Moment, I Thought I Was Dead 1

Huo Mian didn’t answer as she walked over with a cold face.

“My men delivered us lots of meat, including a seasoned goat leg. I thought you’d like it.”

“Huo Siqian, do you really want to stay here for the rest of your life?”

“Why not?” Huo Siqian asked.

“You’ll just give up the Huo Corporation you had worked so hard for? You’ll give up all the assets and the business empire you’ve built and become a fisherman here?”

Huo Mian tried to goad him with words.

“All my life, I’ve always known that money will come and go… I’ve never been obsessed with money or power. When I was mistreated in my childhood, I only thought I’d protect myself from others when I grew up.”

“Well, well. Listen to your own hypocrisy… Have you forgotten how many people you’ve killed?” Huo Mian smiled mockingly.

“I’ve never killed for fun or boredom. They all died for a reason. Some of them worked against me; some against you. For example, that b*tch Song Yishi did so many evil things to you; don’t you think she deserved to die?”

Even now, Huo Siqian didn’t think it was wrong to kill those people; instead, he thought he was doing what Heaven wanted him to do.

“Okay. You’re a madman, and I can’t reason with you…”

Huo Mian turned around and walked toward the beach.

“Mian, the goat leg is ready. Sit down and eat.”

“You eat it,” Huo Mian said bluntly.

Facing Huo Siqian, Huo Mian lost her appetite for even the most delicious food.

She wanted to go home. She missed Qin Chu, the twins, her mother, Zhixin, Su Yu, Lingling, and Xiaowei.

She missed all her friends in C City and especially she missed Yan and her biological father whom she hadn’t had time to have a good look at yet.

But could she go home?

She didn’t know how long Huo Siqian would imprison her in this place.

If not for the unborn baby, she would have had fallen apart long ago.

– In South Hill Manor –

Ding…

The doorbell rang.

Little Bean ran to open the door and froze when she saw the people standing at the door.

“Whoa… Uncle Rick!”

“Good. You still remember me.”

“Of course. You’re so handsome, the most handsome man after my dad and Su Yu.”

“Little Bean, are you a face-judger?” Xixi chuckled.

“Auntie Xixi, you’re back, too?”

“Yeah.”

“Come on in… My sister will be happy to see you.”

Little Bean turned her head and yelled, “Qin Zhaozhao, look who’s here!”

Pudding put down her tablet and stood up.

“Hello, Uncle Rick; Aunt Xixi.” Pudding was also surprised but not as excited as Little Bean.

“We brought you some small presents that we’ve bought in Disneyland. I suppose you like these?” Xixi handed the toys to the sisters.

“Thank you, Aunt Xixi.”

“Who’s here? You two sound so happy.” The professor walked down from the second floor.

Seeing Rick, he was a little surprised. Rick nodded at the professor who nodded in return.

“Pudding, Little Bean, would you show me your back garden? I heard you have Bulgarian roses. Roses are my favorite flowers.”

“No problem. I’ll show them to you.” Little Bean led the way.

After Xixi took the twins out of the house with this excuse, Rick and the professor were left standing in the living room.

When the kids were gone, Rick spoke, “Professor, I’m surprised that you’ve come in person.”

“Fellow… You know me?” Professor Lu narrowed his eyes.
