"He… does . He's ten years older than I am, and his wife died more than two years ago . He also has a six-year-old son who lives with his grandparents . He's not super rich . He contracts a couple of projects each year and makes just enough for us to live off . I think… it's good enough . "
Huo Yanyan still vividly remembered how she met him…
Once, she was so drunk at a bar that a bunch of gangsters almost took her .
That man saved her; not only did he get her a hotel room, he also gave her some money .
No one had treated Huo Yanyan with such warmth, especially since her fall from grace .
Therefore, she mistook that feeling for love . Or perhaps he was her life-saving straw out of the Huo Family .
"Good… a simple and peaceful life can be just as sweet," Huo Mian looked at her and said slowly .
Perhaps it really was for the best…
Or else, with Huo Yanyan's current status, her life will be filled with contempt and ridicule, even if she ended up marrying rich .
Plus, her husband might not be loyal to her… That was why she might as well marry an ordinary man .
"Yeah, that's what I was thinking too . I hope I can forget the past and start over," Huo Yanyan said, enunciating each word .
Huo Mian took her wallet out from her handbag and counted the cash inside it . She didn't carry a lot with her and only had less than four thousand .
Therefore, she took out three grand and handed it to Huo Yanyan . "Take this . "
"No, I can't . " Huo Yanyan was unwilling to accept the money, but Huo Mian insisted, "It's my wedding present . Happy wedding . "
Then, before Huo Yanyan could protest, she stuffed the money in her hands .
Huo Yanyan's eyes glistened with tears as her expression became complicated .
Never did she think that her parents and her brother wouldn't be there on her wedding day, the most important day in a woman's life .
Instead, Huo Mian, her old nemesis, was…
How ironic . . .
"Huo Mian… thank you for forgiving me . I'm not as magnanimous and generous as you are… That's why I can't have what you have . But still, I have to thank you for all that you've taught me . To me, our fights weren't bad experiences, but they're unforgettable . Normal people will never treat me in such a friendly manner after how I treated you back then . If you were a man, you would be extremely successful in life…"
Huo Mian smiled . "But I'm a woman . "
"That's why there are so many people who like you and want to protect you . "
Huo Yanyan seemed to remember something as her expression became weird upon saying this .
"Hey, Yanyan, is this a friend of yours?" The groom came out and placed an arm over Huo Yanyan's shoulders .
He was an ordinary-looking, slightly old and chubby man, wearing a rustic suit .
The good thing was, he seemed nice and didn't look annoying at all .
"She's… my friend," Huo Yanyan introduced Huo Mian, and the groom immediately invited her in, "Welcome, there's a reception inside! Come in!"
"No it's fine, my husband is still waiting for me, I have to go . Congratulations . "
After her wedding gift, Huo Mian didn't want to linger any longer than she had to, so she turned around to leave .
By the time Huo Mian walked back to the restaurant, Qin Chu had gotten out of his car .
"What happened? You look depressed . " Qin Chu could immediately tell that Huo Mian was down in the dumps .
"Huo Yanyan married a man who's 10 years older than she is . He's a middle-aged widower who has a six-year-old son . I never thought she would choose a man like him… I feel really bad . "
Upon hearing this, Qin Chu gently pulled Huo Mian into his arms and consoled her, "Silly, she used to be your enemy . "
"She's also an old friend," Huo Mian said, choking on her words .
As a woman, she sympathized with Huo Yanyan's life…
"Hey, who's this showing PDA on the streets? What an eyesore!" A woman's voice sounded from behind them in an extremely domineering manner .
Huo Mian's tears broke into laughter upon hearing such a familiar voice . She turned around and asked, "Why are you two idiots here?"
