My Youth Began With Him - Chapter 83

Chapter 83

"Huo Mian? Which Huo Mian? That bastard daughter my dad had with a random woman?" Huo Yanyan, the mistress's daughter, said venomously . She was completely spoiled and disregarded everyone .

"Bastard daughter? Well, if you put it that way, your mom is also a mistress, does that mean that you are a bastard daughter, too?" Huo Siqian said with a smile, as if he was joking .

Shen Jiani's expression changed after she heard his words…

Huo Yanyan was also displeased . "Big brother, how can you compare me with her? I grew up in the Huo Family and my mother has a title . Her mother is nothing, she's just a b*tch who ran away with dad's chauffeur . "

Huo Mian only looked coldly at Huo Yanyan and said, "Those who are well educated would never speak such vulgar words . It seems like the manners of a dignified daughter of the Huo Family is subpar . "

"Are you saying that I have no manners?" Huo Yanyan was so angry she almost launched to her feet .

However, she was stopped by Shen Jiani, "Yanyan, don't cause trouble, remember where you are at right now . "

"Since you are here, let's guard the mourning hall together . Quan, give her a piece of the filial cloth . " Huo Zhenghai finally opened his mouth to speak .

"Yes, Elder Master . "

Then, the servant brought over a long, white filial cloth . Huo Mian took over the cloth and tied it to her head .

Then, she slowly kneeled down by the side of the mourning hall .

Her grandmother's portrait was in the center of the room . She looked amiable and kind .

Huo Mian felt sad, but not to the point of crying her eyes out . That would be too fake .

The members of the Huo Family would kneel for a while before taking a break . Huo Yanyan only kneeled for a moment before complaining of dizziness, and she was escorted back to the mansion .

Huo Siyi also escaped on the grounds of entertaining his friends . In the end, only Huo Mian and Huo Siqian were left in the mourning hall .

"Mian, you should rest if you are tired . You don't need to keep kneeling here . "

"I'm not tired," Huo Mian said as she burned the joss paper in the basin .

"It's almost time for dinner . You should go and wash your face . "



"I'm not hungry," Huo Mian refused once again .

Huo Siqian stared at her face silently .

After a long while, he said, "If it weren't for grandmother's death, you wouldn't have entered this house again, right?"

"Yes . "

"You are so direct," Huo Siqian said with a curled smile .

Huo Mian did not speak; she only silently muttered words of blessing .

- 30 minutes later, at the dinner table -

Huo Zhenghai looked around but did not see Huo Mian, so he asked, "Where is she?"

"She is still guarding the mourning hall . I asked Siqian to invite her to dinner but she said she wasn't hungry," Huo Zhenghai's wife, Jiang Hong, said .



"Not hungry? I think she is just faking it to leave a good impression on dad . What a fake woman," Huo Yanyan interjected .

"Yanyan, don't mutter nonsense . "

"Mom, I'm speaking the truth . My classmate said that people of ordinary backgrounds all seem innocent, but they scheme the most . They live at the bottom of society so they've seen so many ugly things . Dad, you shouldn't believe her…"

Huo Zhenghai glanced at Huo Yanyan but did not speak…

"I don't think Huo Mian is faking it . She doesn't need to suck up to dad . After all, he hasn't done much for her all these years . She seems to be used to it . "

Huo Zhenghai's expression changed when he heard what Huo Siqian said .

It was true, he had forgotten that he had this daughter . If his mother did not ask him to invite Huo Mian to come back at her deathbed, he wouldn't have even contacted Yang Meirong…

"Let's eat," Huo Zhenghai said after a moment of silence .



20 minutes later, everyone gradually gathered back in the mourning hall .

Jiang Hong said slowly, "Zhenghai, the feng shui master said that someone needs to guard the mourning hall tonight . One person needs to stay here the entire night, and it would be best if it were a woman because a man's aura would interfere . Mother liked Yanyan before she passed, so maybe Yanyan should guard the mourning hall tonight?"

Huo Yanyan's expression immediately changed . She said, "Mother, I can't . I have low blood sugar so I am always dizzy . My mom contacted a doctor who is coming later to give me an IV drip . Why don't you ask my brothers to guard the mourning hall instead?"

Guard the mourning hall alone? How could she do such a horrific thing? She was the princess of the Huo Family!

Shen Jiani hurriedly said, "She's right, Elder Sister, Yanyan isn't feeling very well . Why don't I guard the mourning hall for her?"

"No, it must be a member of the younger generation . "

"Mom, let Huo Mian do it," Huo Siqian said .

Then, everyone looked towards Huo Mian . Huo Mian was listening to what they were saying . It was not a big deal for her since it was also her wish to send her grandmother off for the last time .

"Are you going to be okay doing it alone?" Jiang Hong asked .
