The Baby I Lost Is Actually with My Ex-Husband!
Chapter 230 - Chapter 230 Chapter 230 Clarifying Lilis Background

Chapter 230: Chapter 230: Clarifying Lili’s Background Chapter 230: Chapter 230: Clarifying Lili’s Background Lin Qi said, “Huo Tingdong, I really don’t want to throw cold water on you, but the child in Song Shuyan’s womb is very likely yours. You should think carefully about this and how to handle it properly.”

Huo Tingdong replied, “If that child is mine, of course I will have it aborted.”

Momo snorted coldly, “Why could she be pregnant with your child?”

Huo Tingdong said, “Because of IVF.” Besides that, he could not think of any other possibility.

He simply did not believe that the child Song Shuyan was carrying was his; otherwise, why would she do such a thing?

Huo Tingdong said, “She has no reason to do this.”

Lin Qi said, “How can she not? Of course, she has. She likes you and wants to have you. Apart from your wealth, you are an outstanding man. She wants to have your child, carry your genes to the next generation, and you might take responsibility for her because of the child. Even if you acknowledge the child but not her, she is after all the biological mother. When the child grows up, she has the chance to gain status through her child. Besides, with your wealth, who wouldn’t want to be ‘Mrs. Huo’?”

Song Shuyan’s move was an all-in bet without leaving herself any way out.

Huo Tingdong asked, “What about you, would you like to be my Mrs. Huo?”

Before Lin Qi could speak, Momo said, “She doesn’t need to reach the pinnacle of life by marrying you, having a son like me is pinnacle enough!”

Han raised his hand, unwilling to be left out, “Me too! Me too!”

Momo hooked his shoulder, “Alright, I’ll grudgingly count you in!”

Lin Qi smiled, “Exactly, with these two sons, why would I need to be ‘Mrs. Huo’?”

Huo Tingdong fell silent.

Perhaps Lin Qi was still kept in the dark about her son being worth billions at the age of seven.

But even putting Momo’s excellence aside, she should indeed be proud of these two sons!

After all, these two sons are also Huo Tingdong’s flesh and blood; he knew how good and outstanding Momo and Han were.

Huo Tingdong said, “If she dares to do this, then she cannot blame me for being ruthless.”

Lin Qi said, “I’m afraid when the time comes, you’ll be soft-hearted and not as ruthless as you claim.”

Momo said, “No worries, Mommy, if he dares to let that woman give birth to the child, I’ll disown him as Daddy!”

Han said, “Me too.”

Daddy already had him and Momo; how could there be other little treasures with another woman?

Huo Tingdong said, “Now that we’ve clarified Han’s background, what about Lili?”

Lin Qi said, “Lili definitely isn’t my child. I was originally pregnant with twins, and your grandmother can vouch for me. Although it wasn’t specified whether it was two sons or a son and a daughter, but as Han and Momo are my sons, she definitely isn’t my daughter.”

She was afraid that Huo Tingdong would misunderstand that, after their divorce, she had had another child with another man.

She was determined to clarify this point.

Huo Tingdong asked, “Then how could she be related to you?”

Lin Qi said, “I have no idea.”

Huo Tingdong said, “Unless, there’s another possibility.”

Lin Qi asked, “What possibility?”

Huo Tingdong said, “Lili’s biological mother is your twin sister.”

Lin Qi said in confusion, “As far as I remember, my mother only had me as a daughter; I can’t possibly have a twin sister.”

Huo Tingdong said, “It’s not difficult to clear up Lili’s background. Just meet her biological father, and we’ll know.”

Lin Qi hesitated for a long time, then nodded, “Okay.”

She also wanted to clarify Lili’s background.

…

Two days later.

The day the results for Lili came out, Huo Tingdong obtained all the information regarding Lili’s biological father.

As expected, there was no blood relation between Lili and Huo Tingdong.

Lili’s biological father lived some distance from Beijing, in a fourth or fifth-tier small county town.

Having found the address, Huo Tingdong set off with Lin Qi towards the county town.

After driving on the highway for 4 hours and then onto a dilapidated national road which got increasingly worse, they reached the county town quite late.

Huo Tingdong said, “We won’t be able to meet that man today; let’s find a hotel to stay.”

Lin Qi asked, “Did you make an appointment with that man?”

Huo Tingdong replied, “I arranged to meet him in the afternoon, but I didn’t expect to be delayed.”

Lin Qi said, “I am surprised he agreed to meet you; what excuse did you use?”

After all, Lili would be like a hot potato for that man; he’d definitely want to avoid it at all costs. Why would he agree to meet?

Huo Tingdong looked at her and said, “Money. I told him, meet me and have a clear talk, and I’ll give him $10,000.”

Lin Qi was stunned, “That’s an expensive meeting fee.”

Huo Tingdong said, “You don’t understand, in a small county town like this, $10,000 is their family’s annual expenses; he cannot refuse to meet. If not, I’ll raise the stakes.”

$100,000.

$200,000.

No one can resist the temptation of money; even if that man were mute, he’d have to speak for it.

Lin Qi said, “It seems that there are only motels here, no hotels.”

Forget about four or five-star hotels, there are not even decent guesthouses or chain hotels, mostly just small motels.

For someone accustomed to luxury like Huo Tingdong, who usually stays in five-star executive suites, how could he endure such shabby motels?

They parked in front of a motel.

It wasn’t a large place; run-down with more than half the lights on the signboard dimmed.

A fat-bellied man was watching television at the front desk, and the door was so low that Huo Tingdong had to stoop slightly.

Lin Qi followed closely behind.

Huo Tingdong approached the front desk and asked the owner, “Do you have any rooms?”

The owner, noticing his neatly dressed attire, asked, “You’re not a local, are you?”

This man exudes affluence, clearly a successful business owner, completely out of place in this backward small county town.

Huo Tingdong countered, “Whether or not I am a local, what does that have to do with the question I just asked?”

The owner said, “Nothing much, there’s a standard room for 500.”

Huo Tingdong took out a credit card but was stopped by Lin Qi.

“Boss…” Lin Qi pointed at a price sign, “The standard room is only 98, why are you charging us 500?”

Was this owner trying to fleece Huo Tingdong because he looks rich?

The owner said, “Rooms are especially full today, there’s only one left, and room prices fluctuate. Isn’t it the same in the city?”

Lin Qi’s mouth twitched fiercely.

Huo Tingdong instructed, “Swipe the card.”

The owner said, “We don’t have card facilities in this small county town, we only accept cash. Don’t you have cash?”

Indeed, like a big boss, his wallet was full of neat bank cards, not a single red banknote.

This really posed a difficulty for Huo Tingdong.

He had long lost the concept of carrying cash.

Lin Qi said, “Let me do it.”

Fortunately, she had some cash prepared before leaving and handed 500 to the owner.

Huo Tingdong and Lin Qi registered their IDs and headed upstairs.
