Chapter 44: Chapter 44 Get out!
Lin Qianqian said, “Do you know who her ex-husband is? It’s Huo Tingdong! The Huo Family of Beijing, the number one elite family. Though we both have the surname ‘Huo’, can you really compare with Huo Tingdong? She even dared to cheat on Huo Tingdong, let alone you?”
Huo Tingdong grew increasingly annoyed and even somewhat irritable, “If you dare to spread such rumors, I will have the Lin Family’s business shut down and out of operation by tomorrow!”
Lin Qianqian shrank her shoulders in fright. What kind of person was this man, who could make the Lin Family shut down with just one sentence?
She didn’t believe it!
Seeing Lin Qianqian’s face turn ashen, yet still hesitant to speak, Huo Tingdong didn’t want to hear another word from this woman. He raised his hand and glanced at the time.
Lin Qianqian noticed the watch on his wrist, the Patek Philippe Sky Moon Turbillon, worth tens of millions. Her eyes went wide with astonishment.
Huo Tingdong said coldly, “I’m giving you five minutes to get out of here, or I’ll have security throw you out.”
Very soon.
The property security arrived.
Huo Tingdong was furious and scolded them, “You let outsiders in so casually, is this the standard of Yuhua Mansion’s security? If this happens again, I’ll have the security company disbanded directly!”
The owners of Yuhua Mansion were either rich or noble.
Hence, the security staff revered Huo Tingdong and immediately approached Lin Qianqian, telling her, “Miss, please leave immediately!”
Lin Qianqian protested aggrievedly, “I’m an owner of Yuhua Mansion too!”

“An owner?” Huo Tingdong said indifferently, “I heard the Su Family withdrew their down payment. You are not an owner of Yuhua Mansion. Get out of here.”
Perhaps the air in the basement was a bit stuffy, Huo Tingdong tugged at his tie and stepped into the elevator.
He turned around, and the moment the elevator doors closed, Lin Qianqian was already being held up by security, one on each side, and forcibly removed.
Lin Qianqian said unwillingly, “Mr. Huo! You will regret marrying such a promiscuous woman!”
The elevator doors closed with a “ding,” completely isolating all the noise.
In the tranquil elevator, piano background music like trickling spring water played.
The elevator ascended, and soon a gentle female voice announced, “19th floor, arrived.”
Huo Tingdong stepped out of the elevator and walked to the door, where he pressed his fingerprint.
Only then did the door open.
He was greeted by the aroma of pizza.
This was his first time stepping into this apartment. Mo Ke had all the furniture and appliances installed, put away his luggage, and also brought over Han.
Lin Qi was still tidying up the room, putting away luggage and items neatly.
In the kitchen.
Momo watched the pizza taking shape in the oven, with Han staring intently at it, his mouth watering.
Momo said he wanted to make a pizza for Han.
Han was delighted to hear it.
Hearing the door open, Lin Qi immediately went to the entrance, and when she saw Huo Tingdong, she hesitated for a moment.
“You’re back,” she said as the words left her mouth, feeling the phrase a bit odd.
It was as if… they were a newlywed couple.
Huo Tingdong was not in a good mood.
That sentence from Lin Qianqian, “She even dared to cheat on Huo Tingdong, let alone you?” still echoed in his ears.
Momo and Han came out and upon seeing Huo Tingdong, Momo said, “I made a lot of delicious food for Mommy and Han today. You just happen to benefit from Han’s favor, and get to taste it too!”
Momo had a proud attitude, and actually, he wanted Huo Tingdong to taste his cooking too.
He never cooked easily, not willing to make soup or meals for anyone other than Mommy. However, having gained his approval, Huo Tingdong and Han had convinced him to showcase his cooking expertise today.
Only…
Huo Tingdong’s expression didn’t improve.
He looked at Momo and furrowed his brows.
Which man could have fathered this child with Lin Qi?
This woman had never given him an answer. He didn’t originally want to delve into it, but… family scandals should never be aired in public.
How did this matter start spreading outside?
Huo Tingdong was well aware that he should not hold any expectations for this woman.
What “good intentions” or “feelings” could she have had when she married him?
He was a stranger to her. She said it was her father’s arrangement, that she had no other choice, that she had no way out.
But if she didn’t want to, who could force her to marry a man diagnosed as a vegetative person who would never wake up, to be a living widow all her life?
Yet having married him, was she so restless and lonely that she dared to have an affair with another man?
Huo Tingdong silently walked into the living room.
Momo and Han exchanged glances.
“What’s wrong with him?” Momo asked, “He looks so grumpy.”
Han shook his head.
He wasn’t a gut worm in Daddy’s stomach, how could he know what Daddy was thinking at this moment?
Lin Qi was also somewhat taken aback.
Usually, Huo Tingdong would pick up Han and kiss his face right away, but now, he seemed to be preoccupied with heavy thoughts.
“Huo Tingdong…” Lin Qi approached and asked, “Have you had dinner?”
“I’m not eating. You go ahead.”
Huo Tingdong stood up and went into the room.
He and Lin Qi slept in separate rooms. Mo Ke was still tidying up his room. Seeing Huo Tingdong walk in, he stood up and said, “Mr. Huo, you…”
“Get out,” Huo Tingdong said with a bad tone.
Mo Ke was startled, “I haven’t finished tidying up…”
“Get out.”
Mo Ke didn’t dare to disobey and hurried out.
The door slammed shut.
Huo Tingdong lay down on the bed. The wardrobe doors were open, and Mo Ke had hung up and folded all the clothes, but not everything had been put away yet.
Outside the door, Mo Ke stared blankly at the closed door, speechless.
Not far away, Lin Qi stood in the corridor, with Momo and Han staring at each other with wide eyes, equally clueless.
“Mo Ke?” Lin Qi asked, “What’s wrong with him? Did someone at the company upset him?”
Mo Ke whispered, “Who would dare to upset Mr. Huo?” He walked over, anxiously asking, “Miss Lin, did you make Mr. Huo angry again?”
“Again?” Momo said, “When has my Mommy ever upset him? It would be nice if he didn’t upset my Mommy.”
Mo Ke said, “Momo, you don’t understand. He has been as gentle as a spring breeze towards you and your mommy. I’ve been serving him for so many years, always on tenterhooks. Mr. Huo is capricious. When he encounters something unsatisfactory, he could flare up at any moment. To him, I’m like an attendant next to the ancient Emperor, working with my head hanging by my waist.”
Just like just now, while he was tidying up Huo Tingdong’s room, he was suddenly kicked out.
If he protested even a little, Huo Tingdong would definitely lose his temper. Mo Ke, with his seasoned experience, didn’t dare to fart and quickly tucked his tail between his legs to leave the room.
Momo concluded, “So, you’re like the eunuch next to the Emperor?”
Mo Ke said: “Good child, don’t talk nonsense.”
Momo said, “If I had such a boss, I would have resigned long ago.”
Mo Ke said, “But Mr. Huo pays a lot.”
Momo fell silent for a long while, crossed his arms over his chest, and uttered sternly, “People die for wealth, birds die for food.”
