My Youth Began With Him-Webnovel

“I didn’t… That really wasn’t me!” Jian Tong felt like she was going crazy, and her voice went up a few notches unconsciously.

“Calm down, it’s good that it wasn’t you… you can correct your mistakes if you made any. If you didn’t, you can guard yourself against future mistakes.” Little Bean smiled sweetly.

“Why did raise your voice? They’re still kids… they’re just joking around with you,” unhappy with Jian Tong’s treatment of the twins, Su Yu scolded her in front of all the reporters.

Jian Tong had half a heart to run into a wall… but she had nowhere to vent her anger.

“I didn’t raise my voice, I just don’t like being framed…” she said with big, sad, teary eyes.

“Never mind, Auntie Jian, we’ll believe you, okay? But honestly, you’re old enough to know better. Although they all say that women in the entertainment circle are complicated, we are willing to believe that you’re not and won’t ask you how you climbed to fame. Just be good to Handsome Su, okay?”

These remarks seemed fine, but they really weren’t; being the genius she was, Pudding’s words made it seem like Jian Tong had a really messy history.

Too bad the woman in question didn’t have the guts to say anything, although she cursed at the twins ten times over in her head. In the end, Jian Tong decided to change the subject, “President Su, do you want to come to my house for dinner? My mom made your favorite, Braised Mandarin Fish.

She flaunted their relationship in front of all the reporters; moreover, she knew Su Yu wouldn’t be able to reject her in front of all those people.

Before Su Yu could answer, Pudding glanced at him and pouted. “Handsome Su, didn’t you say you were going to take us home for dinner? We haven’t visited Great-Grandpa in such a long time.”

“Um, sure, your great-grandpa is actually at home today. I’ll talk to your mommy afterward and you guys can come home with me. But you’ll have to stay the night, alright?”

“Yes, Sir!” The twins answered in unison, leaving Jian Tong’s smile as awkward as could be.

“I’m sorry, can I take a raincheck? These rascals are coming over tonight.” Su Yu looked at Jian Tong apologetically.

“Sure, we have a lot of time in the future to enjoy dinner together…” Jian Tong said, pretending to be nonchalant.

The twins occupied Su Yu’s attention until the charity dinner ended, giving Jian Tong no room to butt in. In the end, she got so angry that she left with her agent in a huff.

After the ball ended, Su Yu held one twin in each hand and walked up to Huo Mian with a smile. “I’ll be taking the twins home with me, we’re having dinner at the mansion.”

“We’ll be staying there tonight, you don’t have to worry about us, Dr. Huo,” Pudding added.

“Okay, but be good and don’t bother Great-Grandpa so much, alright?” Huo Mian nodded.

“I got it, Dr. Huo. Enjoy your alone time with Mr. Qin tonight, after all, an opportunity like this is rare…” Little Bean tried not to laugh.

What she said made Huo Mian feel extremely awkward; the latter rolled her eyes at her daughter. “What are you talking about? You’re still a kid, be more like one, alright?”

In the end, Su Yu and the twins left the ball together with An, allowing Huo Mian to rest easy. She and Qin Chu stayed behind to send the guests away.

When Huo Siqian left, he glanced at Huo Mian profoundly, but the latter pretended not to see his face; unwilling to talk to him, she turned her face away from him.

“Mian, my little sister… remember what I said to you. As long as I’m still alive, I will work hard to achieve my dream… I’ll never give up on it, haha…”

Huo Siqian’s random comment left Huo Mian frozen to her spot.
