Translator: Noodletown Translated Editor: Noodletown Translated
Huo Mian imdiately shook her head when she heard her mother's accusation, "I'm not."
"That's for the best. Rember, you can marry anyone in this world, but not him. There's just too much between the two of you… not just a human life, but also seven years of hatred."
Huo Mian knew how much her mom hated the Qin family; back then, they humiliated her, and the neighbors mocked her for an entire year.
Rumors were scary; they talked about how Yang irong was a howrecker when she was young, and how her daughter was a little vixen who seduced a rich heir and planned to elope with him.
Their failed elopent was also sothing that neither families would ever be able to forget…
Back then, Qin Chu planned on leaving with Huo Main to the United States. They already got their passports and were waiting for their visa to be approved.
However, for so reason, Qin Chu's parents found out, which led to Uncle Jing's tragic accident.
In the end, Huo Mian cut off all ties with Qin Chu, and he left for the States himself…
Huo Mian, on the other hand, faced all those rumors this whole ti. Although her grades were high enough to attend Jing City's best dical school or maybe even an overseas dical scholarship program, because of Uncle Jing's death, all of that went to hell.
She beca the sole bread maker for her family; her mother might've been through a lot over the past few years, but so had she.
No one lived as carefully as she did…
If Qin Chu hadn't returned, she would have remained an ordinary woman all her life and died that way.
"Mom, I know, don't worry," Huo Mian vaguely replied, trying to hide her feelings.
After breakfast, Huo Main drove away from her mother's old house.
Distracted, she almost ran a few red lights.
Near an intersection by the overpass, Huo Mian suddenly stepped on her brakes.
She frowned after seeing the traffic light signal…
The red-light countdown was 300 seconds…
Seriously?? A 300 second red light?
This was the first ti she's ever seen a red light so long. Usually, it was supposed to be 90 seconds, and even that was in the busy downtown area.
Why was there a stupid red light this long at an overpass that never jamd?
Flabbergasted, Huo Mian took out her phone and took a photo of it.
A black Lexus was parked not far from her off to the side.
The windows were tinted black so no one could see from the outside. However, the person inside could see everything out there.
Su Yu sat in the back seat of the luxury car with a can of cola in his hand. He stared at the girl sitting in the white car.
He missed her, but he didn't have the guts to see her.
He wasn't chickening out, but he was afraid that she would reject him again.
The won in Su Yu's life all threw themselves at him, but the first ti he fell for soone, he was rejected.
He felt hurt for days; even when he was out drinking with Wei Liao and the others every night, he still couldn't get Huo Mian off his mind.
He actually beca a complete celibate ever since he t her, and that even shocked himself.
No one interested him, no matter how beautiful she was. Even if soone as pretty as Zhao Qingya were to strip naked in front of him, he would not feel an urge to do anything.
Therefore, he believed that he might have beco sick… beco sick with sothing called 'Su Yu fell for Huo Mian'.
After so struggle, he decided to tackle the intersection Huo Main drove past every day.
He ordered the traffic police to change it to the longest light possible, and indeed, Huo Mian was stuck here.
Huo Mian's head was down and she was playing with her phone. She didn't know that soone was staring at her.
300 seconds passed by in a flash, and the car behind her honked.
Huo Mian imdiately stepped on the gas pedal…
Su Yu muttered to himself, "300 seconds is a little short, I should get them to make it 900 seconds next ti."

Qin Chu had just finished his morning eting when Gao Ran called him.
"What's up?" He had a feeling that Gao Ran's news was never good when he called him at work.
"Stay calm and let finish, okay?"
"Talk."
"The bureau just issued an arrest warrant that I'm supposed to lead. Um… the person we're arresting… is your Huo Mian."
Qin Chu's face imdiately fell upon hearing this – an arrest warrant? What the hell was going on?
