Chapter 4746: Qin and Huo’s Additional Story (76)
Although it was always said that family backgrounds should not be the difference between people who loved each other—
Huo Mian remembered that a distant cousin had married a rich second-generation heir.
That cousin of hers was naturally very good-looking. She was originally selling luxury items in the mall, but in the end, a rich second-generation heir had taken a fancy to her.
He wooed her aggressively and as a child from a poor family, she could not resist the temptation of money.
Anyone can come across such situations. When you clearly don’t like the person, but once you’re bombarded by material things, you can’t resist.
When you don’t even dare to shop at a jewelry store, but your male partner brings you to buy diamonds and jewels.
Or a watch—worth tens of thousands of yuan, a top-grade cell phone, and a branded bag. The feeling of spending money like it was dirt would be irresistible to anyone, especially for those who were born poor.
It was as if the door to a new world had been opened.
At that time, she remembered that her cousin’s marriage had shocked the entire family.
Huo Mian’s mother brought her, Zhixin, and Uncle Jing back to their hometown for the wedding.
There were at least 70 or 80 luxury cars.
The people from the nearby villages all came to watch. It was simply like the grand scene of an ancient prince choosing his concubine.
It was said that the betrothal gift was also a million yuan. And all the gold and jewelry were carried in boxes.
At that time, Huo Mian was only ten years old, and she felt envious.
Seeing her cousin happily marry into the family… she thought to herself, this should be what they call happiness, right?
Unexpectedly, in less than three years, after her cousin gave birth to two daughters, she was neglected by her in-laws.
Less than a year after they got married, the rich second-generation heir had an affair when her cousin was pregnant.
Furthermore, he had more than one affair. Later on, her cousin would be covered in tears all day long.
She heard that they finally got a divorce last year. She brought her two daughters out of the family with nothing. The family only gave her a pitiful living allowance every month.
As for the mistress who had entered the family, she was said to be a rather famous female celebrity in the entertainment industry.
The female star became pregnant and was having a wedding with the rich second-generation heir in Bali.
After that, she gave birth to a son, and her life was filled with glory…
But, who would have thought that her cousin had also had a glorious wedding back then?
Ever since then, Huo Mian thought that women should rely on themselves.
Therefore, she had to study hard and find a good future for herself. It was useless to rely on marrying a good husband.
Because once a man had a change of heart, he would immediately return to his original state.
And you would spend the rest of your life in fear…
Huo Mian matured much earlier than her peers.
Therefore, she had her own beliefs. Compared to the family her cousin married, Qin Chu’s family was uncomparable.
After all, she often saw Qin Chu’s father with the city leaders on the finance channel.
That might not be a place she could stay…
That was why Huo Mian said that.
Qin Chu, on the other hand, was extremely calm after hearing what she said.
“Did you just ask me what I like?” Qin Chu repeated.
Huo Mian didn’t speak.
“My liking… is you.”
Qin Chu said those words clearly.
Back then, high school students weren’t so scheming. They were more sincere.
Although they didn’t know what a lifetime was, they still wanted to be with the girl they liked.
Qin Chu’s words shocked Huo Mian.
“Once I’ve made up my mind about you, I won’t change it… I’m a person with such a unique personality… I’ll always end what I start no matter what… Mian, this isn’t a joke. This isn’t an irresponsible promise I am making because I am young. I’ll be responsible for my own choices. What I need now is… your response.”
Huo Mian stared into Qin Chu’s eyes; she could see the love in them.
