The Baby I Lost Is Actually with My Ex-Husband!-Chapter 41 - : Exactly Who is This Man

Chapter 41: Chapter 41: Exactly Who is This Man

Lin Qi watched with keen interest, clenching her fists, “Fight! Fight!”

Beside her, Momo was also excited, stars shining in his eyes, “Go on, hit them! Hit them!”

Mother and son were typical rubberneckers, the kind who enjoy a spectacle without worrying about it escalating.

Huo Tingdong glanced at Lin Qi; she was originally wearing light makeup, her elegant eyes brimming with moisture, her small face flushed with excitement, looking somewhat cute.

Cute…

Why would he think of this word?

...

Snapping back to reality, he saw Little Baby clenching his fists, eyes twinkling, joining the crowd of onlookers.

Lin Qianqian tightly hugged the bag as if afraid it would be snatched away, tears in her eyes, “This is my bag, I won’t sell it for anything!”

Mrs. Su expressed some disappointment, “Qianqian, I didn’t expect you to be such a materialistic girl.”

Zhou Qin kept on smiling apologetically, while Lin Cheng muttered somewhat discontentedly, “Qianqian has been pampered since she was little in the Lin Family. This bag was bought for Qianqian by Su Yuan, where’s the sense in returning it?”

Mrs. Fang said with disdain, “The Su Family? Never heard of them, which small-time family is this? Buying a bag requires parental consent?”

She looked at Lin Qianqian, “Young lady, this bag is not something you should carry, you’re not qualified!”

Raised spoiled since childhood, Lin Qianqian let the words fly without a second thought, “What do you mean by ‘someone like me’? And what about you? Are you qualified? Have you seen your age? I’m younger than you; how come I’m not qualified? Old woman!”

Mrs. Fang was particularly sensitive to the term “old woman”; she took great care in skincare in order to look younger, continuously getting cosmetic treatments for a fresher face.

Seeing Lin Qianqian daring to call her “old woman”, Mrs. Fang didn’t say a word and slapped her.

“Rubbish! Do you know who I am?”

Lin Qianqian was slapped into Su Yuan’s arms, covering her burning cheek, almost bursting into tears.

Mrs. Fang glared fiercely, “My husband is Fang Zhixing! My maiden name is Ji, Ji Ya is my name. Haven’t you gone and found out? What status do you have to act up in front of me?”

Upon her declaration, everyone was stunned.

This was Mrs. Fang!

The Fang Family was very well-known, especially Mrs. Fang. Hearing her name, not one person in the room dared to provoke her.

Both of Su Yuan’s parents were dumbfounded.

Lin Cheng was also shocked.

Just as Mrs. Fang was about to rage, her gaze suddenly drifted elsewhere.

Everyone else was standing, only Huo Tingdong and Lin Qi, along with the two Little Babies, were sitting.

Mrs. Fang recognized Huo Tingdong in an instant, her pupils contracting sharply, “Huo…”

She quickly tidied up her appearance and gracefully approached Huo Tingdong, “Isn’t this…”

Huo Tingdong raised his hand, his fingertip to his lips, signaling her to keep quiet.

Mrs. Fang immediately understood.

Huo Tingdong always kept a low profile; hence, she didn’t make a fuss, but her change in demeanor was obvious for all to see.

The crowd was even more surprised.

Mrs. Fang’s reputation was enough to crush anyone.

What kind of background did the man who made her bow and smile have?

Mrs. Fang didn’t notice Lin Qi beside her, thinking she was a nanny, so she politely said to Huo Tingdong, “Mr. Huo, what brings you here?”

Whispers circulated the room.

“Mrs. Fang is showing such respect to this man!”

“Eh!? Isn’t that woman next to him Lin Qi?”

“Lin Qi? Isn’t that the daughter born to Lin Cheng and his first wife? She’s grown so much?”

“She broke off contact with the Lin Family years ago, disappeared without a trace… It’s said that this man is her husband!”

“Good heavens! What’s the background of the man she married? I know Mrs. Fang, the most domineering lady in social circles. Who could make her humble herself like this?”

In an instant, everyone had too many questions about Huo Tingdong’s identity.

Little Baby was not used to such scenes and saw everyone crowding around, instinctively shrinking into Huo Tingdong’s embrace.

Mrs. Fang complimented, “Such a cute little master!”

Huo Tingdong smiled, stood up with Little Baby in his arms, “Mrs. Fang, my son wants to go home, I must leave now.”

Lin Qi also stood up, holding Momo.

She knew Little Baby didn’t like such scenes; Huo Tingdong would take him home.

Mrs. Fang personally saw them out, and only after Huo Tingdong and Lin Qi disappeared with the two Little Babies, did someone in the crowd timidly ask, “Mrs. Fang, who is that man?”

Mrs. Fang rolled her eyes, contemptuously said, “Are you even worthy of inquiring about his identity?”

…

The meticulously prepared birthday banquet ended in an awkward finish.

The guests lost interest in celebrating Lin Cheng’s birthday, dispersing cleanly.

Lin Qianqian sat by the table, gloomy and clutching the prized Himalaya Bag; Zhou Qin protected her, and opposite were the preoccupied Su Yuan and his parents, Mr. Su and Mrs. Su, both not looking very pleased.

Lin Cheng said, “I didn’t expect things to turn out like this! It should’ve been a happy occasion, a rare gathering of our two families, I didn’t expect…”

Mrs. Su interjected, “Mr. Lin, are you implying that we brought displeasure to you?” She no longer addressed him as “Father-in-law”, clearly dissatisfied with Lin Qianqian.

Su Yuan intervened, “Mom, please stop.”

Mrs. Su inquired, “Did Qianqian pester you to buy her that bag?”

Su Yuan was unable to squeak a word.

Defensively, Lin Cheng said, “Isn’t it just a bag?”

Mrs. Su replied, “Easy for you to say, 5.6 million yuan. If you care so much for your daughter, why don’t you pay up?”

Mr. Su interjected, “Enough! Huizhen, hold back your words.”

Mrs. Su continued, “This has been an eye-opener, a bag worth 5.6 million? Qianqian is the girl my son has chosen; we’ve both been satisfied. From booking the venue to buying a wedding house and car, everything has been done as the Lin Family required! Has the Lin Family paid a single cent? We bought a 280-square-meter marital house for the kids in Yuhua Mansion, and now we need to spend another 5.6 million on a bag? Do you think the Su Family prints money?”

The resentful Lin Qianqian retorted, “Lin Qi’s husband bought her a 400-square-meter mansion! Is 280 square meters anything special?”

Mrs. Su shot back, “Who’s Lin Qi? If her husband is so capable, why don’t you marry him? Why marry my son?”

Lin Qianqian was left speechless.

Zhou Qin said, “Mother-in-law, your words are hurting feelings!”

Mrs. Su slammed her hand on the table, standing up abruptly, “Who’s your mother-in-law? Hurting feelings? Your daughter has lived a life of luxury without facing hardship; how dare she offend anyone? Even Mrs. Fang dared to provoke? Does the Lin Family have any sense of who Mrs. Fang is? Really!”
