My Youth Began With Him

“Yeah.” Gao Ran didn’t explain further.

“A few days ago, Uncle Gao came to my house for tea. My dad said that he’s going to Fiji for a vacation in a few days and wanted to invite your whole family along. But Uncle didn’t have the time… My mom said that she wanted you and your mom to come with us. My dad invested some money there to develop their tourist attraction. That island is very beautiful.”

“Ah, I may not have much time. I have a basketball game in a few days.”

“Then I won’t go either. I’ll come and cheer you on.”

It was obvious that the girl liked Gao Ran.

Throughout the entire conversation, Zhu Lingling didn’t say a word because she couldn’t join the conversation.

The girl had a driver who drove a Mercedes and she was carrying a Chanel bag.

The bracelet in her hand was Cartier brand that was worth over 200,000 yuan, and her shoes were worth over 10,000 yuan.

Zhu Lingling knew that she was a real rich missy.

She had also heard that Gao Ran’s father was a high-ranking official and knew many high-ranking officials.

Now it seemed that her world was indeed different from theirs.

At this moment, she finally understood why Mian always said that she didn’t belong in the same world as Qin Chu.

It turned out that she felt it too. She was intending to confess to Gao Ran at her doorstep.

From the looks of it, he might have a better candidate…

“Um… stop in front, I want to get off,” Zhu Lingling suddenly said.

“Isn’t your house in Chaoyang District?”

“Ah… my grandma’s house is nearby. I suddenly miss my grandma. Please stop.”

Just like that, Zhu Lingling got out of the car.

“I’ll take you.” Gao Ran got out of the car.

“No need. Stay with your friend. Bye.”

Zhu Lingling smiled awkwardly before running away…

Gao Ran didn’t know that Zhu Lingling was going to confess that night.

But she was interrupted by an unexpected guest.

Three days later.

Huo Mian ended her vacation job and asked Qin Chu out to meet.

That day, she held a jade stamp and waited in a Western restaurant with a good ambience.

1

She sent Qin Chu a message that morning. Although he didn’t reply, he would definitely come when he sees it.

1

She sent him the location and time and then waited there.

Never in her wildest dreams had Huo Mian expected that the person to come wouldn’t be Qin Chu but his mother.

1

Qin Chu woke up early that day and went to the construction site with his father. Apparently, there was a murder case there.

Therefore, he forgot to bring his phone with him. However, when Qin Chu’s mother was packing, she saw the message on her son’s phone.

1

Then, she went to meet her…

When a beautiful middle-aged woman sat across from Huo Mian, her heart started beating wildly.

“Hi, I’m Qin Chu’s mother.”

“Hello, Auntie.” Huo Mian pretended to be calm.

“I saw the message you sent my son…”

Huo Mian didn’t say anything and bit her lips nervously.

“Excuse me, are you his classmate?”

“Yes, Auntie. We’re in the same class.”

“Then why did you ask my son out for dinner alone? Are you two very close?” Mrs. Qin asked.

“Qin Chu helped me a lot, so I wanted to express my gratitude,” Huo Mian explained, not wanting to embarrass herself.

“If that’s the case, then there’s no need. My son is naturally kind and treats everyone well… He has helped so many people over the years. He would even give the beggars on the streets lots of money… So you don’t have to take it to heart.”

1

Huo Mian still didn’t say anything, but she felt terrible.

“Child, don’t send Chu messages anymore. Girls… should save some dignity for themselves.”

1

Then, Mrs. Qin turned around and left. Huo Mian’s tears fell as she held the stamp tightly in her hand.

1

For the first time in years, she suffered because of Qin Chu.

1

Many years later.

Huo Mian woke up in the middle of the night and looked at her phone. It was a WeChat message from Zhu Lingling.

“Mian, are you going to the class reunion tomorrow? I heard… Ms. Yao is back.”

The End.
