My Youth Began With Him

"I just want to die."

"Then kill yourself."

"Help me." Huo Yanyan looked up at Huo Mian.

"Why should I help you?"

"I once saved your daughters." Huo Yanyan mentioned it again shamelessly.

"I'm sorry but you've played that card too many times and we don't owe you anything. You can't blackmail me with that for the rest of your life," Huo Mian refused without hesitation.

"Huo Mian, your family name is Huo."

"So what?" Huo Mian raised her chin and waited for her to continue.

"You were one member of our Huo Family. I'm Huo Zhenghai's daughter but got not a penny from the family assets. I won't hold you responsible for scheming with Huo Siqian to deal with us. But can you sleep in the night with this on your conscience?"

"I think you have the truth reversed. Who on earth should feel the burden of conscience?"

"You won't be satisfied until you get me killed, right?" Huo Yanyan had hatred in her eyes.

"It's you who put yourself in this state. You still don't understand that? Don't blame others for your tragedy… This is the source of your pathetic life."

"I asked for euthanasia but you refused… Okay… I don't want money or anything valuable. I only want you to get me out of here; I know you can do it. You can make arrangements to send me abroad. I don't need to go to the U.S. or Europe. A place such as Thailand, Malaysia, or Vietnam is enough. I'll find a way to make a living there. After saving enough money, I'll go to Singapore to see my daughter. Can you do it for me? Huo Mian, you know I'm not crazy. It's just that your beloved husband colluded with the cop and put me here to protect you. You're pregnant; don't you want to do some good deeds for the sake of your baby? You are so cruel to me, aren't you afraid you'd be punished by Heaven?"

Huo Yanyan didn't get riled up. She said the words calmly.

Huo Mian knew she was sober at this moment.

"Of course I know you're not crazy; you're just distorted in mind," said Huo Mian.

"It's all your fault. If not for you guys, I'd still be the young mistress of the Huo Family, living a care-free life."

"I don't think we should continue this talk."

Seeing Huo Yanyan was still ranting about old grudges, Huo Mian stood up to leave, thinking it was pointless to talk to her.

"Huo Mian, you either let me die or let me go, or I won't forgive you even after I die."

Huo Yanyan tossed the curse at her.

Huo Mian walked out without a pause.

"Are you okay?" Qin Chu strode up and put an arm around her.

"I'm fine," Huo Mian said.

"Let's go."

"Okay."

They left the psychiatric center. Sitting in the passenger seat, Huo Mian looked thoughtful with her head lowered.

"Mian, don't be swayed by her. She's trying to take advantage of your kindness," Qin Chu advised.

"I know. I didn't agree to her request."

"You did nothing wrong. Bad people deserve punishment."

"Honey…"

"Yeah?"

"I didn't agree to any of her requests, and I… don't want to visit her again, no matter what she becomes."

Huo Mian had made the decision since she found Huo Yanyan was hopelessly obsessed with hatred.

"Good." Qin Chu was satisfied.

Then Huo Mian took out her cellphone to call Su Yu.
