My Youth Began With Him

“To tell you the truth, I don’t know either. I told you guys, Qin Chu asked for a divorce,” Huo Mian forced a smile after saying this.

“What’s Mr. Qin trying to do? Your wedding was going to happen so soon, how could this happen!” Zhu Lingling was furious.

Upon hearing this, Huo Mian looked down. “I’m not sure.”

“Did you ask him why?” Jiang Xiaowei asked quietly.

“I did but he won’t tell me. I know he has his reasons, and if he didn’t tell me, it means he doesn’t want me to know,” Huo Mian guessed.

“But… what would push him to do something so heartless and announce your divorce to the world? My gosh, when I saw what he wrote on Weibo, I thought his account was hacked… I really think you should go see a fortune teller, perhaps Mr. Qin was cursed or something.”

“He’s completely normal, don’t think too much,” Huo Mian immediately rejected Zhu Lingling’s hypothesis – Qin Chu’s mind and logic seemed normal, he wasn’t controlled.

“That’s weird… didn’t you guys talk about it?” Jiang Xiaowei asked.

“He never gave me a chance.”

“What are your plans now?” Jiang Xiaowei followed with another question.

“To be honest, I don’t have any plans,” Huo Mian replied, her voice hoarse.

“I think you should try talking to Mr. Qin. If you put your heads together you can solve anything, divorce is too much…” Zhu Lingling began panicking.

“I want to talk to him, but he won’t see me.”

“He won’t see you?” Jiang Xiaowei and Zhu Lingling asked at the same time, and Huo Mian nodded. “Mhm, he’s hiding from me. He’s not at the company or at home… I don’t even know how to reach him.”

“I have an idea. This afternoon he’s going to appear in court… the court date for Xu Changzhi’s case is today and since Qin Chu is testifying, he will be appearing in court as a suspect… If he loses his suit, he’s going to be in big trouble.”

“Do you think he divorced you because of this?” Zhu Lingling immediately asked upon hearing what Jiang Xiaowei said.

“No, it can’t be. This case isn’t too big of a deal for him.”

“Let’s go to the courthouse… we’ll see him there for sure.”

After some silence, Huo Mian nodded her head.

She really wanted to see Qin Chu and talk things out. She couldn’t accept divorce without a reason.

That afternoon at 4 PM, Jiang Xiaowei’s driver parked her RV outside the courthouse.

The three of them sat inside the RV quietly until some time later when they finally saw Qin Chu walk out.

He was with Assistant Yang. If he could come out safely, it meant that he was fine.

Comforted, Huo Mian immediately got off the RV and walked towards Qin Chu.

“Um… Sir, the young madam is here,” Yang reminded him.

Qin Chu looked up to see Huo Mian walking towards him; as expected, he pretended to be indifferent and strode right into his Maybach. Then, he closed the door with a ‘slam’.

Huo Mian stood there awkwardly…

“Young Madam… um… the president has a lot of work. I think he’s busy, see you later.”

Then, Yang immediately got onto the passenger seat, leaving Huo Mian standing alone on the sidewalk.

Zhu Lingling got off the RV as well and wrapped Huo Mian with a black scarf. “He refused to talk to you? Let’s go.” Zhu Lingling grabbed her arm and tried to pull her away.

“You guys should leave first.”

“Mian…”

“You guys should leave, I’ll wait here. Qin Chu… will be back, he won’t leave me here.”
