Chapter 948 - The Mother-in-Law Rubbing in the Wound (10) (2/2)

“Xiaowei, calm down… it’s really okay, I don’t care about what others say… No matter what they say, I’m still me, and I’ll never change. I know how I feel towards Qin Chu, and he knows too. We don’t need to explain much to each other… I believe that time will prove everything.”

Huo Mian was wearing a long, baggy T-shirt with a Winnie the Pooh cartoon printed onto it. It was simple but cute.

She looked out, showing her profile. Her features weren’t perfect, but they were pretty all the same and most importantly, highly recognizable.

“Huo Mian, I’m not as calm as you are… The truth is, I care about what others think. After this incident, I’ve been really worried about you, and that’s why I registered a new Weibo account to shut Song Yishi down. But you’re right, there’s not much meaning to what I’m doing. In the end, none of these things matter. Just ignore people who don’t like you, it’s not like you will get anything out of them anyway, right?”

“Haha, right… my life won’t become brighter and shinier just because they like me… People I don’t care about are mere strangers to me.” Huo Mian put down her teacup, looked at Jiang Xiaowei, and flashed her a nonchalant smile.

“I’m curious, have you ever complained about your family background because of everything you went through in the past?”

Jiang Xiaowei knew that Huo Mian’s life hadn’t been easy, and it took her and Qin Chu a long time to come together.

“Truth be told, I used to… Back then I was young when I was faced with bumps along the road, I blamed others… But then I stopped because I realized that each and every decision I make now will determine my future. Some people, like Huo Yanyan, were born with good cards, but they played them terribly. Others, like me, are dealt nasty cards at birth, but have ended up working hard to turn things around.”

“Hahah… which category do I belong in?” Jiang Xiaowei laughed.

“You were born with good cards and played them perfectly. You’re a straight flush…”

“Hahaha, you’re killing me.” Jiang Xiaowei burst out in laughter, completely disregarding her image.

Then, she sent what Huo Mian said to Wei Liao.

Wei Liao was quiet for a while before replying, “Then am I the poor fellow who didn’t even end up with a pair in his hand who lost to you and then got enslaved?”

It was a little cold up in the rooftop, so Huo Mian was just about to stand up and get Jiang Xiaowei a blanket when her phone began to ring…

“Hello?” Huo Mian looked at the unfamiliar number and hesitated for a few seconds before picking up.

“Hi, Huo Mian… I’m Su Yu’s mom.” Mrs. Su’s voice was as gentle as ever.
