"What are they saying about me?"
"They are saying that you were doing everything to seduce Qin Chu and marry into a rich family . They are also saying you're too arrogant, you think you're too cool, and that you're cunning . Some are saying you are materialistic, and that you would only be friends with wealthy people . The rumors are all very terrible . You know, every time the old classmates get together, everyone would start talking as soon as they hit the third drink . The guys like to boast, and the girls like to gossip . The gossip always revolves around you, Zhu Lingling, Liu Siying, and so on . They pretty much talk about whoever is not there . "
"I don't mind it . Whatever they say is up to them . I don't need other people's opinions about my life . If they want to be a commentator, so be it . " Huo Mian smiled slightly .
"I must say I admire your mental fortitude . " Wei Dong gave her a thumbs up .

"Well, this has nothing to do with mental fortitude . It's more about the perspective one takes when observing a problem . Don't think about it too much . Most people are like this, their mouths are rather unreliable . The words that come out of their mouths can be good or bad, and if you take anything they say seriously, you're only looking for trouble . "
"Yes . Back then, when I used to hang out with them quite a bit, I thought it was interesting . But, when the day came when I was the laughing stock, I could no longer let out a smile anymore . It was only then I realized the feeling of being talked about . Even though I didn't go to the last class reunion, I still kind of knew what sort of things they said about me . To be honest, now that I have money again and made a comeback, the old me would have invited them out for dinner and put on a boasting show just to show them I'm f*cking rich again . But, then I thought, it wasn't necessary . In the future, I will look to you as my role model . I will have a low-key lifestyle, and live for my family and the people I love . "
"It's not wrong to think like that . Overall, just take care of your family, because they are the ones that have given you the most . Also, you're not in your twenties anymore, keep an eye out for a nice girl while you're busy building your career . You are Auntie’s only son, I’m sure she will want a grandson as soon as possible . Look at me’ my twins are already a couple of years old . "
"Yeah, time waits for no one . Back then, when you were still interning at First Hospital, you were a young and innocent little nurse that just graduated university for less than half a year . Ha, now you're a mother of two! But, you still look like the old times, still so calm, as if the time has stopped just for you . "
"Alright, save the compliments . We've been classmates for how many years now? Keep up the good work with your business . Give me a call if you need anything . "

"Do you need me to give you a ride?" Wei Dong asked sincerely .
"No need, I can drive my car, no problem . It's not too late either . " Huo Mian pressed her car keys and got onto the Porsche .
"Be careful and drive slowly," Wei Dong reminded .
Huo Mian nodded . She backed her car out efficiently and drove towards the South Hill Manor .

Wei Dong watched as her car disappeared in the distance and sighed .
He knew very well that no matter the time, whether it was now or many years ago, Huo Mian was a woman that was way out of his league . He could only ever dream of her in his youth .
-At the party, located at a hotel in downtown -
Qin Chu showed up alone due to Huo Mian's absence . To his surprise, he bumped into Shen Mingxi and Huo Yanyan . "President Qin, how come I don't see Mian?" Huo Yanyan asked, smiling .
"She's at work," Qin Chu answered without much emotion .
"I see . Have you guys been okay these days?" Huo Yanyan asked .
Qin Chu scanned across her face coldly . "You can save this kind of chitchat for Mian . "
To no one's surprise, Qin Chu answered her like his typical self, prideful as always . If she were the Huo Yanyan a couple of months ago, she would have let it go, but now, Huo Yanyan refused to be treated this way .
"I saw you at the coffee shop the other day when I was passing by . I thought you were with Mian, but little did I know, upon walking closer, you were with a girl that's younger than Mian . Heh heh, is she Mian's cousin or something?" Huo Yanyan tilted her head and asked spitefully with the intent to get revenge, barely noticing Qin Chu's eyes darkening .
