My Youth Began With Him - Chapter 1782

Chapter 1782: 1782

Huo Mian didn’t expect Grandpa Su to suddenly say something like this, so she was completely flabbergasted . “Grandpa Su, I…”

“You don’t have to answer me right now, let’s play first . ”

Then, Grandpa Su sat down and began organizing the pieces . Huo Mian sat down and did the same thing, but she felt distracted by all the thoughts in her mind .

Grandpa Su slowly moved a chess piece and said, “Mian, what I’m about to say is completely my own point of view . Yu’s parents would never let me say these things, they don’t want you to think of me as a nosy old man who can’t mind his own business . ”

“I’ll never think that, Grandpa Su . ”

“Yu is my only grandson, but we never spoiled him . We had a set of rules in place when he was growing up, and then he joined the army for several years . There, he endured countless hardships to become the man he is today . Back then, when he was discharged, he told us he wanted to open up an entertainment company . We didn’t agree, so I told him that the Su Financial Bank wasn’t going to give him anything and that he had to figure everything out himself . Guess what he did . ” Grandpa Su looked up at Huo Mian with a smile .

“He found an investor?” Huo Mian asked .

“You can say that . He’s pretty smart, actually . He found some land on the outskirts of the city and bought a piece of it using all the red-pocket money we’ve given him over the years . After six months, the government issued a notice to take back and develop that land, giving him a couple million in reimbursement . He took that money and threw it all into the stock market, making more than ten million in less than two months . That’s how Imperial Star began . It was only then that he took out a loan with our family bank to expand into the market… and less than five years later, Imperial Star became the head of its industry, and Su Yu was worth billions . ” From Grandpa Su’s proud depiction, Huo Mian could tell how much he loved his grandson .

“Su Yu’s a smart guy . ” Huo Mian nodded, agreeing completely .

“I rarely ask him about his relationships . After all, it’s his personal business . I didn’t blame him for involving himself in scandals and spending nights with models because he was still young and didn’t know any better . I wanted to wait until he grew up, but then, you appeared in his life…” Grandpa Su said slowly as he moved another chess piece . Then, he looked at Huo Mian, with a deeper meaning in his expression .

Huo Mian, on the other hand, looked down to counter Grandpa Su’s attacks, all while wondering why he was telling her all this .

“Your appearance completely changed him . ”

“Grandpa Su, the truth is, I’m extremely sorry . I never wanted to change him, I was just treating others like I always did,” Huo Mian explained patiently .

“That’s why he fell for you… You disregarded who he was, and you never sucked up to him . Moreover, you didn’t try to get his attention because you wanted something from him… He was attracted by how real you are . ”

“Grandpa Su, I’m really not as good as you say, nor am I as good as Su Yu thinks I am . I have countless flaws – I cry a lot, have an awful temper, and often act like Mary Sue when something I don’t like happens to other people . When I’m stressed, I take my anger out on others…”

“He doesn’t like you because of all your strengths . It’s because he likes you that all your flaws become your strengths as well . ”

Huo Mian fell silent; she didn’t know how to respond to what Grandpa Su just said .

“Mian, I know you’re married, and I know about your husband’s accident . Tell me the truth, if your husband is really not coming back, can you give Yu a chance?” Grandpa Su asked in all seriousness, his expression filled with anticipation and sincerity .
