Chapter 28: Chapter 28 Acting as His Own Dad
Zhou Qin said, “The renowned figures in Beijing, those whose nas are known, are just a few, and those who can co up with hundreds of millions in cash on the spot are even fewer. Qianqian, are you sure she’s not bluffing you? With her status, how could those prominent and wealthy families even consider her? No one would want her even as a mistress.”
Lin Qi was married to Huo Tingdong as a bridesmaid for luck, although she was a wife in na only, but after Huo Tingdong regained consciousness, he divorced her.
She is a discarded wife, the circle of elites knows about her reputation as a discarded wife, right?
Moreover, the richer and more prominent families believe in feng shui, and it is highly taboo to marry a wife for the sake of auspiciousness for a sick son.
Lin Qianqian said, “Then… what about that apartnt? A total price of 1.7 billion, all in cash, registered in her na! With that apartnt, she doesn’t have to worry about food and clothing for life!”
Zhou Qin said, “Silly girl, how can you compare with her? You married the eldest young master of the Su Family, and in the future, you are to inherit the Su Family! What are you envious of her for, being a legitimate Mrs. Su, while she is a discarded wife kicked out by the Huo Family? Your marriage to the Su Family is worth more than 1.7 billion, right?”
...
“Why doesn’t Su Yuan buy a 400 square ter luxury mansion?” Lin Qianqian felt inferior and sowhat reluctant, “Mom, what if she really clung to so high branch? Tell , that Momo, whose son is he really? Could it be so mysterious big shot? The man who appeared with her at the sales office today, not only looks spectacular but also wealthy!”
Zhou Qin said, “What you said, I want to et her. It won’t be long before your father’s birthday, right? Invite her over, I want to see what she has gotten herself into!”
Lin Qianqian said, “Do I have to humble myself to invite her?”
Zhou Qin said, “I’ll invite her.”
Lin Qianqian said, “She won’t co. She has completely cut ties with the Lin Family!”
Zhou Qin said, “She has to co even if she doesn’t want to! She still needs to pay respects to her mother’s grave every year, if she doesn’t co, I’m going to move her mother’s grave to a desolate mountain.”
…
The next day.
Lin Qi received a phone call from Zhou Qin, saying it was Lin Cheng’s 50th birthday.
She was sowhat surprised.
She had long severed ties with the Lin Family completely, and Zhou Qin suddenly inviting her to attend her father’s birthday surely was not out of goodwill.
Lin Qi naturally did not want to go.
But Zhou Qin said, “Lin Qi, I know you hold grudges against , your father, but he is turning fifty, and he is inviting you to celebrate his birthday, you can’t really snub him, right?”
Lin Qi said, “He has long stopped acknowledging as his daughter, why should I bother?”
Zhou Qin said, “If he didn’t acknowledge you as his daughter, would he invite you to celebrate his birthday?”
Lin Qi was silent.
Zhou Qin added, “By the way, bring Momo with you, and Momo’s father too! Momo has grown so much, yet we have never t his father!”
Lin Qi quickly realized.
It seed to be a trap.
The day at the sales office, Huo Tingdong buying such an expensive apartnt for her must have caught the Lin Family’s attention, and they definitely had suspicions about Momo’s background and must have made nurous guesses about Huo Tingdong’s identity.
Although the circle of elites isn’t large, Huo Tingdong’s actions have always been mysterious and low-profile, rarely anyone has seen his true face.
It was reasonable that Lin Qianqian did not recognize Huo Tingdong.
The Lin Family must have misunderstood that Momo was that man’s son; what high branch did they guess she had clung to?
Lin Qi said, “I’ll go when I have ti.”
After hanging up the phone, Lin Qi saw Momo standing at the doorway, holding a school uniform from Windsor High School that had just been tailored.
“Momo?” Lin Qi was surprised, “Is the uniform ready?”
Momo ca in holding the uniform, “Yes, I’ll go to school to report next Monday.” He raised an eyebrow, “Just now I heard you on the phone with that woman, what does she want?”
That woman was how Lin Qi and Momo referred to Zhou Qin.
That man referred to Lin Cheng.
Since Lin Qi did not acknowledge this father, naturally Momo also did not recognize these grandparents, thus they referred to them simply as “that man” and “that woman.”
Lin Qi said, “She called to invite you… and your dad to attend that man’s birthday banquet.”
Momo suddenly said, “Let’s go!”
Lin Qi exclaid, “Why should we go?”
Momo said, “They have always seen as a little bastard, but now I have a dad, I want my dad to go with us, to see who dares to call a little bastard again!”
Lin Qi said, “You want your dad to go with you?”
Momo nodded, “Yes!”
Lin Qi said, “How would he agree?”
He didn’t even know about Momo’s identity; It was only because she had agreed to take care of Han as per her promise, and he kept his word.
Momo was also unwilling to acknowledge Huo Tingdong, Huo Tingdong would not agree.
Momo said, “I will have him pretend to be my dad, he will agree.”
Lin Qi was at a loss for words, Huo Tingdong was clearly Momo’s biological father, yet had to pretend to be his “biological father,” it was a difficult dilemma.
Momo said, “I’ll go find him now!”
He turned and ran to the study. Just now he heard from the servant that Huo Tingdong had co back and entered the study holding Han.
Outside the study room.
Momo knocked gently on the door.
Huo Tingdong’s voice ca from inside, “Who?”
Momo said, “It’s .”
“Co in.”
Momo pushed the door and went in, only to see Han deeply troubled lying on the main desk, staring at a pile of howork with a frown.
Huo Tingdong was watching him do his howork; who would have thought, the billionaire Huo Tingdong, usually aloof, was also a dad worried about his son’s howork in private.
Huo Tingdong asked, “What’s one-fifth of 12?”
Han spilled all the pencils from his pencil case onto the table, totaling only nine, then he opened the drawer and added so of Huo Tingdong’s expensive fountain pens to it, making twelve in total and began to divide them seriously into five parts.
Huo Tingdong’s lips tightened, clearly already a bit angry.
He looked at Momo, “What do you want?”
Having glanced at Han distressing over the twelve pens, Momo said, “I can teach Han his howork.”
Huo Tingdong was taken aback.
He suddenly rembered, Mo Ke said, the scholarship exam at Windsor High School, because of the difficult questions, even involved topics from the middle school level, and many candidates failed, only Momo passed with full marks.
He said he wanted to teach Han his howork; he was capable of it.
But…
Huo Tingdong raised an eyebrow, “What’s the condition?”
He knew Momo wouldn’t teach Han his howork without a reason, there must be a condition for the exchange.
Momo said, “‘That man’ invited my mom to attend his birthday banquet, can you co with us? I want you to play my dad.”
