Chapter 326: Chapter 326: Offended the Legitimate President’s Wife
Lin Qi recognized the male colleague at a glance.
He was the one who plied her with drinks and teased her during the company team-building event;
He was also the one who mocked her at the office for being divorced and remarried, and insinuated that she was worthless;
She rembered, his na was Ah Cheng, a team mber under Maeve’s leadership.
Lin Qi turned to Huo Tingdong, suddenly smiling as she introduced: “Husband, this person, I must introduce him to you, he is my project team colleague, also a junior executive under Ms. Mia. He has always taken such good care of .”
Upon hearing this, the male colleague couldn’t help feeling guilty, at a loss for whether to respond or not.
Lin Qi paused, then said aningfully: “Husband, do you happen to know any rich matrons? If so, perhaps you could introduce them! His na is Ah Cheng, and his dream is to one day live off a wealthy woman!”
The male colleague was shocked and hurriedly retorted: “I never said that!”
Lin Qi raised an eyebrow: “Weren’t these your very words? How can you deny sothing you said yourself? My husband must know plenty of beautiful rich won. You’d better not waste my good intentions!”
The male colleague said with a guilty conscience: “You… you must be mistaken!”
Lin Qi replied: “I have such a good mory, how could I possibly be mistaken? I rember, when I announced in the office that I was getting married, you all exaggeratedly talked about how lucky I was to marry an outstanding man who was willing to beco the stepfather to my son! And you said, if it were you, only if the woman was a wealthy matron with lots of money, otherwise, you would never be willing to take care of another man’s son!”
Huo Tingdong narrowed his eyes: “Stepfather?”
Lin Qi said: “Yes, according to what he said, because I’ve been divorced and had a son with another man, having this ‘package’, I’m devalued and have lost my worth. That I could find a man to take over is as if my ancestral grave was smoking with fortune.”
The male colleague’s complexion beca sowhat unnatural.
He glanced over at Huo Tingdong, but was intimidated by his piercing gaze, shrugged his shoulders, and looked at Lin Qi: “But… but the fact that you’ve been divorced, that’s true, isn’t it…”
His voice grew lower, but his words were undoubtedly provocative!
He was afraid Huo Tingdong might misunderstand the fact that Lin Qi was remarried, so he deliberately emphasized it.
The others looked at each other in dismay, not daring to speak for a mont.
Han Na ca over, looked at Huo Tingdong, then turned to Ah Cheng: “Ah Cheng, stop talking nonsense, okay? How could Mr. Huo not know that Lin Qi had been married before? When you register for marriage, the marriage bureau informs both parties about their marriage history! Mr. Huo certainly is aware.”
The male colleague’s eyelids twitched fiercely: “I…”
Han Na looked at Lin Qi and said: “Lin Qi, you couldn’t have concealed your marriage history from Mr. Huo, could you?”
Lin Qi said: “Oh, that’s right, I forgot to tell you all, I have indeed been divorced once, but my ex-husband is also my current husband.”
Everyone was thoroughly confused upon hearing this.
“What…”
“What does she an by that…”
Everyone was slow to react, not daring to ask questions openly because Huo Tingdong was present.
Lin Qi explained calmly with a smile: “My husband and I are remarried. We were divorced eight years ago; thus, my ex-husband is him, my current husband is also him. We have two sons; after the divorce, one stayed with him, and one with . So… about the claims that I was remarried with a child in tow, I’ve been too lazy to clarify. Because I don’t like to mix personal affairs with my work, but today is a rare opportunity, so I thought I’d set the record straight.”
Everyone gasped in astonishnt!
Nobody expected such a twist in the tale!
They always thought that Lin Qi’s remarriage with a son was her ancestral luck, but they never knew…
She and Mr. Huo had remarried!
They had been married once before!
So, that implies Lin Qi’s son is in fact the Huo Family’s young master, Huo Tingdong’s own son!
What stepfather? There is no such thing!
He is indeed the bonafide little prince of the Huo Family!
That said…
The group photo that Lin Qi posted on her social circle that day, the man who was blurred out in the picture, was actually Huo Tingdong himself!
Han Na was also dumbstruck; she had not expected at all that she was Huo Tingdong’s ex-wife, and the two of them had reconciled after a breakup.
Roughly speaking, the people present all shared the sa sentint.
They’re a perfect match.
In the eyes of conventional society, how could soone of Lin Qi’s background be fitting for a revered status like Huo Tingdong’s?
After all, they don’t belong to the sa class, not from the sa world, how could they be together?
Adults have long since given up on the fanciful dreams of Cinderella ultimately marrying the Prince.
But Lin Qi’s life, it’s just like a plot straight out of a fairy tale.
What to do?
Right now, they all feel sowhat at a loss.
Half of the people present are those who usually get along peacefully with Lin Qi.
They never targeted Lin Qi, nor gossiped about her. Even knowing that Lin Qi is the president’s wife, they feel at ease, having not done anything conscience-stricken and having offended no one.
However, the other half are not feeling so well!
Offending the president’s wife is undoubtedly equivalent to indirectly offending Huo Tingdong himself!
How are they going to get by at Huace from now on?
What Huace lacks the least is overseas elites, full of talent.
These people are the most nervous and restless.
Lin Qi said, “Husband, let’s go.”
She took Huo Tingdong’s hand, ready to leave.
Huo Tingdong suddenly thought of sothing and paused slightly.
He turned around leisurely and scanned the room with a cool expression, “I think, what cos next doesn’t need to be explicitly stated by .”
The implication was clear: those who should leave, gather your belongings and get out, don’t stick around the company and embarrass yourself.
No sooner had Huo Tingdong and Lin Qi left than the private room instantly erupted.
“Now you’ve done it, you’ve offended the president’s wife. How are you going to live a good life after this?”
“Who told you to ostracize others all the ti? Isn’t it enough to just do your job well? Why do you have to gossip behind people’s backs?”
“The most awkward part is, you were caught and heard by the person in question! Now you know? She is the legitimate president’s wife! You’re in for a tough ti.”
Zhou Xiaoying had always been sitting quietly in the corner, silently watching the drama, observing the expressions on everyone’s faces throughout.
So had guilty looks, so were pure spectators, others took pleasure in the misfortune, and still others remained indifferent from beginning to end.
But what caught her attention the most was Han Na’s reaction.
Zhou Xiaoying keenly noticed that Han Na’s reaction was a bit off.
She prides herself on being Lin Qi’s good friend, but so of the things she said aren’t what a good friend should say!
Lin Qi might be thick-skinned and oblivious, but she realized that Han Na’s attitude was sowhat abnormal.
