My Youth Began With Him-Webnovel

“Sister Mian, my sister…” Xixi paused midsentence.

“It’s okay. If you can’t tell me, I won’t ask.”

“No, it’s not something I can’t tell you. My sister told Su Yu she loved him and was rejected…” Xixi blurted out.

“Um…” Huo Mian didn’t know what to say.

“It’s my fault because I encouraged her to do it. She has loved Su Yu for so long and suffered alone without telling him how she felt about him, so I encouraged her to confess her love to him. I hoped she’d give up on him if he rejected her. But I didn’t expect she’d be so upset by his rejection. She cried all night last night with eyes all swollen up. She even posted on Weibo that she’d take a break from her work. It seems my sister has a fragile heart. But…it’s not a bad thing. I talked to my parents and think it’s a good idea for her to take a break since she won’t be focused on her work anyway.”

“I see.”

“Yeah.”

“I’m sympathetic towards your sister. Su Yu is stubborn… and not easy to talk to. Your sister is a good girl, but love can’t be forced.”

“Yeah. Sister Mian, I’ve been in love. I know how it feels.”

“Don’t worry. Comfort your sister.”

“Okay. Oh, by the way, Sister Mian, Rick and I want to invite you and President Qin to dinner tonight.”

“Whoa. I’m flattered…” Huo Mian chuckled.

“We’ll be leaving on tomorrow morning’s flight.”

“You’re returning so soon?” Huo Mian was reluctant to see them go.

“It’s not so soon. If not for you, I might not have had the opportunity to stay here for so long. Now that you’re safe and I’ve visited my family, Rick needs to return to the U.S. since lots of things are waiting for him. You know how his work is like.”

“I understand. Then let’s meet at dinner. Text the time and address to me on WeChat.”

“Okay. See you tonight.”

“See you tonight.”

Ending the call, Huo Mian thought about Nie Lingxuan’s departure.

She knew Su Yu wouldn’t accept Nie Lingxuan’s love since he wasn’t ready to accept any women right now.

But she was worried that the A-list actress that Su Yu’s Imperial Star had painstakingly promoted had quit her job.

Who would take the helm for Imperial Star?

It was indeed a problem…

But Huo Mian wouldn’t go and talk to Su Yu about this problem because she didn’t want to interfere in his business.

If they were seen by others, people might get the wrong idea about their relationship. So she decided to talk to Su Yu about it when she saw him.

– Inside the president’s office of Imperial Star –

The vice president kept pushing up her glasses on her nose. In her forties, this woman was efficient and very capable.

Su Yu had stolen her from another company at a high price.

The vice president didn’t agree to letting Nie Lingxuan go abroad and study.

“President Su, how could you agree to let Nie Lingxuan go?”

“What else can I do?” Su Yu looked indifferent.

“She’s the pillar of our company. If she’s gone, we’ll have no female stars showing up at the Orchid Movie Festival held the next month… Cotton Candy is now in the center of negative news; Zhong Xiaocui is not a big name; only a few of our male stars are well-known. It would be a big blow to our company. You should have stopped her from leaving.”

“She insisted on leaving; how could I stop her?” Su Yu stared at the vice president in displeasure.

“You can issue the order to blacklist her or shelter her… Female performers all care about the future of their careers. If you threaten her with it, I’m sure she’ll give in.”
