What Goes Around Comes Around (1)

"How can you still be smiling?"2

"Why can't I?"

"Remember how you treated Pudding today?" Su Yu asked, his face as serious as could be.

"That's what you're talking about…" Huo Mian said, feeling helpless.

"Look at yourself! How old are you to be bullying children? Don't you have a conscience?"

"What does my conscience have to do with anything? I'm educating my child," Huo Mian explained.

"But still, you can't ground her, she's not in the army and you're not a military officer."

Huo Mian: "…"

"Talk."

"About what?" Huo Mian asked, completely confused.

"Where's Pudding right now?"

"She's at home, probably asleep."

"Did you apologize to her?" Su Yu asked domineeringly.

"Come on, she's the one in the wrong, why should I apologize? She apologized to me, and I bought her a new phone. This incident has passed, Young Master Su, calm down already!"

"Anyways, Huo Mian, I'm telling you, you can't treat Pudding and Little Bean like that again. They're still kids, you can't lecture them like that and abuse your powers as a mother…"

"What are you talking about, I'm not abusing anything. Do you really think I'm that unreasonable?" Huo Mian asked helplessly.

"Anyways, this is a warning. Next time, I'll…"

"You'll what?" Huo Mian raised her chin provokingly.

"I'm going to tell on you to Grandpa and make him teach you a lesson."

"You're such a tattletale! Are you a man or not…" Huo Mian retorted angrily.

"I don't care… I'm not going to allow this to happen to them again."

"Fine, it's not like you're their dad, gosh… Qin Chu didn't even react as strongly as you, okay? Young Master Su, if you teach children like that, they're going to tear down the roofs of other peoples' houses in the future."

"I don't care, they can tear as much as they want to, I'm rich."

"Forget it…" Huo Mian said, turning around to leave.

"Um, wait…"

"Talk."

"About Jian Tong and I, I…"

"You want to know what I think?" Huo Mian turned around to ask.

Su Yu nodded uncomfortably…

"As a friend, I don't think she's good enough for you. Not because she's an actress, since I wasn't born into a prestigious family either, so I'm not one to talk. I just don't think Jian Tong's as innocent as she looks, and she seems to be a little manipulative… Anyways, I don't think you should be too serious with her. Of course, forget what I just said if you really like her, since I always hope true love prevails…"

"True love prevails? Haha, the words you used are so…" Su Yu paused, smiling bitterly.

"If you want me to comment as an outsider, then I really can't care less about who you date, since you are at an age to be married. Even if you don't marry her, it's still good to have someone by your side. Jian Tong works for you, so she admires you, and I'm sure she'll take great care of you. Heiresses of the sort will have Princess Syndrome so you're better off without them…"

"I don't want you to talk to me as a friend or outsider, I want you to talk to me as Huo Mian…"

"Tell me, what identity is Huo Mian?" Huo Mian asked, glancing at Su Yu.
