My Youth Began With Him

He said, "Huo Yanyan, so what if I'm a piece of scum? I gave you and your daughter the last speck of hope. If I didn't protect you, Huo Siqian would've chopped you up into a million pieces, and your daughter wouldn't have had the chance to leave the country. It's ironic, isn't it? You call me a piece of scum, but what about you? Every single person in your family is as spiteful as can be - they all died ugly deaths while trying to hurt other people. Huo Mian was so nice to you, yet you repeatedly tried to hurt her. You're almost thirty years old, yet you don't have friends nor family. Seriously, am I really the piece of scum here?"

Upon hearing this, Huo Yanyan's eyes turned red. She was surprised. "Shen Mingxi, when did you learn to poke people where it hurts?"

"Why should you be the only one allowed to do so? Huo Yanyan, stop with the double standards. You keep measuring me with such high standards, while measuring yourself with such low ones. Don't you see something wrong with that?"

"If my standards weren't low, I would never have climbed into bed with you."

"Stop trying to morally kidnap me and make me feel bad because of what's happened in the past. I don't owe you anything, I was good to you and Tiantian, and I continued to treat her like my own and sent her to study abroad after what you did to me. You don't have to thank me, but you shouldn't hate me. Stop harassing me, let me remember the good things about you. The only thing I did wrong was I didn't see you clearly, I didn't know how ambitious you were. The only person I've wronged is Wei Ying… I owe her too much. You've loved me for years? Wei Ying and I have known each other since kindergarten, yet I never treasured her."

"Ha, is that why you want her back? Does she even want you back? I wonder how many times she's done it with Ye Zhaoyang. Is that considered cheating?"

"Don't assume other people are like you. You may be evil, but it doesn't mean the entire world is evil."

"Shut up, Shen Mingxi, I'm not here to bicker with you. I need money; transfer a million into my bank account."

"Why should I?" Shen Mingxi felt incredibly speechless.

"If you don't give me the money, I'll continue to harass Wei Ying. I'll ruin her reputation, no matter where she goes."

Huo Yanyan knew how much Shen Mingxi cared about Wei Ying, so she used this as leverage.

"You're despicable." Of course he didn't want her to harass Wei Ying. Huo Yanyan had brought too much pain and suffering onto Wei Ying - she was like a nightmare that never ended. "Do you think I'm an ATM machine? That I'll give you money for the rest of my life?"

"No, if you give me a million right now, I'll never ask you for money again."

"You sure this is the last time you will ask me for money?"

"Yes. Once I'm done, I'll leave, and never harass anyone you date, ever again. You can be with whoever you want, and it will have nothing to do with me."

Shen Mingxi thought about it for a moment and wrote her a check for a million yuan.

"Thanks Honey, you're still so generous…" Huo Yanyan gave the check a little kiss and got off Shen Mingxi's car with a smile on her face.

Then, Shen Mingxi drove off.

"Oh, what should I do? You're such an idiot, why can't you learn from Qin Chu and Su Yu? No wonder even I don't love you anymore… you fool." Huo Yanyan laughed at Shen Mingxi as she watched his car disappear into the distance.

- The next morning, at South Hill Manor -

"Dr. Huo, you're off today, right? What are your plans?" Qin Chu asked during breakfast.

"Why, you want to ask me out?" Huo Mian made a cute face at her husband.
