In This Lifetime, I Only Love Him (8)

Huo Mian: "Yup, almost done."2

Zhixin: "Did you guys spend a lot of money on me again?"

"Of course!" Huo Mian nodded.

"I really feel like a leech. I've been relying on my sister and brother-in-law ever since graduation."

"If you don't rely on us, who are you going to rely on? Outsiders? Would they even let you?"

"Sis, stop joking around."

"It's okay, Zhixin, from now on, you can work for GK for free. If we don't pay you a salary, you can repay us in no time," Huo Mian said.

"Sis, you're evil." Zhixin was speechless.

"Don't listen to your sister, she's just teasing…" said Qin Chu.

Zhixin: "I know she's just joking, haha."

"What I mean is, we'll keep paying you a salary. You can just pay us back all the money we've spent on you over these past years slowly…" Qin Chu kept a straight face.

Zhixin: "…"

Assistant Yang couldn't help but laugh out loud.

So much so that he bit too hard into a juicy beef ball, spraying its juices all over himself.

"We're talking to Zhixin. Why are you getting excited? Do you want to be like him?" Huo Mian glanced at Assistant Yang.

"I don't know anything. I didn't hear anything."

Just like that, the meal was completed in a joyous atmosphere.

It was time for Huo Mian to go home. When she left downstairs, Zhixin and Bella entered the elevator with her, but Bella left on the 19th floor, leaving behind only the sister-and-brother duo.

"Sis."

"Hm?"

"Big Brother Su Yu called me yesterday."

"For what?"

"He asked me if I wanted anything for my engagement. He said he wanted to give me a car."

"What did you say?" Huo Mian replied nonchalantly.

"I said no, of course. Su Yu is your friend, not mine. I'm not that close with him. Plus, Brother-in-Law already gave me a Maybach… I can't accept another car."

"Right, then just reject him nicely."

"I did, but Su Yu was very adamant about giving me something. If it's not a car, it'll probably be something else. Didn't you tell him that we're not accepting gifts?" asked Zhixin.

"I did."

"Then why…" Zhixin stopped his sentence at the sight of his sister's complicated gaze.

"I'll take care of it."

"Alright."

"I'm leaving, then."

"Sis, be careful. You're pregnant. Watch out for staircases."

"I got it."

Huo Mian nodded. She had originally planned to return home after the meal, but after her conversation with Zhixin, she decided that a meeting with Su Yu was needed.

After all, some things were better discussed in person; she didn't want a miscommunication to hurt Su Yu's feelings.

"Drive me to Imperial Star," Huo Mian said.

"Alright, Madam."

After she arrived at Imperial Star, she ran into Zeng Rou.

The latter wasn't there for Su Yu; she was there to see the stars at Imperial Star.

She did, however, recognize Huo Mian right away, so she followed her into the elevator.

"Are you Huo Mian?" Zeng Rou suddenly asked.

Huo Mian gave the woman a light glance.

"I am."

"Do you know who I am?"

"Zeng Rou?" said Huo Mian.

"You… know me?" Zeng Rou was shocked. She didn't think Huo Mian even knew her.

"I've seen your Weibo," said Huo Mian.

"Oh, so you're following me on Weibo too."

"I'm not. My daughter showed me your picture back when the news went viral," Huo Mian replied calmly.

"Oh, I see. Are you here to see Su Yu?"

"Yes."

"Then… can I treat you to a cup of coffee before you see him?" Zeng Rou invited.
