The Baby I Lost Is Actually with My Ex-Husband!

Chapter 66: Chapter 66 Dragons Beget Dragons, Phoenixes Beget Phoenixes

Mia said with a smile, “Congratulations to little Lin Jinmo from the Lion Class, his artwork has been auctioned for one million yuan, and this charity money will be donated to the United Nations Children’s Charity Organization in the name of little Lin Jinmo!”

Thunderous applause erupted.

Mrs. Fang looked at her son’s artwork, which was being shunned to one side, feeling quite indignant.

She had always been strict with her son, demanding excellence not only in academic achievement but also in arts, sports, and music, nurturing him with all her heart. His art teacher said that her son had artistic talent, and his oil paintings could absolutely win first prize at an exhibition!

Yet, her son’s work received no attention, while Lin Jinmo’s painting fetched one million yuan!

Another reason Mrs. Fang couldn’t accept this was that if she could get invited by the United Nations to be a Children’s Charity Ambassador and give a speech at the United Nations, it would be a highlight of one’s life achievements.

Why is that?

“Mrs. Fang!” An assistant approached her and whispered, “I’ve looked into it, and this Lin Jinmo’s family background is average. Rumor has it that Lin Jinmo’s mother, Lin Qi, is the young lady of the Lin Family, but she has long severed ties with them. She divorced at the age of twenty-two and has been living alone with her child, currently employed by your company. As for her ex-husband, there’s no trace of him, probably some insignificant figure.”

He speculated, “I guess she probably had an affair during marriage, got kicked out by her in-laws, and left with nothing.”

“It turns out he’s just a little bastard.” Mrs. Fang asked again, “What’s her relationship with the Huo Family?”

The assistant replied, “As far as I know, there’s no connection between her and the Huo Family.”

Mrs. Fang didn’t buy it, “No connection, out of the blue, her son got admitted to Windsor by using Huo Tingdong’s status?”

The assistant said, “Lin Jinmo is a scholarship special recruit at Windsor High School, admitted with full marks.”

Mrs. Fang remarked, “Windsor High School shouldn’t allow scholarship special recruits, admitting commoners like this into Windsor, making it the bane of Windsor’s existence!”

She told Fang Heng, “Fang Heng, listen well, you can lose to anyone, but if you lose to this kind of bastard, people will look down on you!”

Fang Heng said confidently, “I won’t lose to him!”

…

Lunchtime.

The restaurant was packed.

The luxuriously decorated restaurant provided a waiter for each table.

Huo Tingdong and Han sat at their table, while Song Shuyan was browsing through the menu. To please Han, she ordered several of his favorite dishes.

After ordering, Song Shuyan put down the menu and looked at Han with the gentlest tone, coaxing, “Han, would you like Auntie to hold you for a bit? Daddy has been holding you all this time, his arms must be sore.”

Han glanced at Huo Tingdong as if silently asking: Are Daddy’s arms sore?

Huo Tingdong said, “Daddy’s arms aren’t sore, but see, all the other kids are sitting in their seats by themselves.”

Han looked around and suddenly brightened up, pointing in one direction.

Huo Tingdong and Song Shuyan followed his gaze and saw Lin Qi holding Momo’s hand, entering the dining hall.

Upon seeing Lin Qi, Han’s expression instantly became lively, and he waved to Lin Qi.

Lin Qi immediately noticed Han and walked towards him, leading Momo.

Song Shuyan’s face stiffened.

This little guy, he wouldn’t insist on Lin Qi and her son joining their table, would he?

She didn’t want that!

“Han?” Lin Qi approached with Momo and said with a beaming smile, “Has Han been a good boy?”

Han nodded earnestly and tugged at Huo Tingdong’s sleeve nervously, seemingly asking him to vouch for him.

Huo Tingdong said, “Han behaved very well this morning, very obedient.”

Upon hearing this, Han pursed his lips and looked at Lin Qi, waiting expectantly for her praise.

Lin Qi said, “Han is really awesome!”

After hearing this, Han blushed shyly and gently patted the seat next to him, inviting Lin Qi and Momo to sit beside him.

The curvature of Lin Qi’s lips froze slightly.

She looked towards Song Shuyan, and it was clear to anyone with eyes that Song Shuyan’s gaze and expression were full of rejection; she did not welcome Lin Qi and Momo sharing a table with them.

Song Shuyan said to Han, “This table is too small to fit so many people.”

But Han wasn’t listening to her at all; he stubbornly pushed the chair next to Lin Qi, pulling her hand to have her sit.

Lin Qi didn’t dare to struggle too hard and was pulled by Han to the chair. Before she could sit down, Han suddenly thought of something else and pulled Lin Qi to the seat next to Huo Tingdong, urging her to sit.

After sitting down helplessly, Han then took Momo’s hand and sat him down next to Lin Qi.

Song Shuyan frowned slightly, beginning to suspect that Han might be trying to play matchmaker for Lin Qi and Huo Tingdong.

What is he trying to do?

“Tingdong,” Song Shuyan suddenly spoke to Huo Tingdong, “I want to sit closer to Han, let’s swap seats.”

Huo Tingdong glanced at Lin Qi beside him, then abruptly stood up and switched seats with Song Shuyan.

Han puffed his mouth angrily, clearly dissatisfied with Huo Tingdong’s action.

He didn’t want to sit next to this woman at all!

So, he patted Momo’s behind, signaling to switch seats with Momo.

And so—

Momo found himself awkwardly sandwiched between Song Shuyan and Lin Qi, while Han sat tightly next to Huo Tingdong.

For a moment, the atmosphere became somewhat eerie and awkward, even at a standstill, with no one speaking.

The waiter came over, preparing cutlery and hot towels for Lin Qi and Momo.

Lin Qi wiped Momo’s hands, and seeing this, Song Shuyan, not to be outdone, picked up the hot towel, intending to wipe Han’s hands.

But Han was one step ahead, taking the hot towel and cleaning his hands thoroughly by himself.

Song Shuyan ground her teeth in hatred.

She thought that this Huo Tinghan was not at all mentally challenged or slow; he was very smart and gave her no opportunity at all.

He just didn’t like her, so he was always causing problems between her and Huo Tingdong!

No, she couldn’t stoop to the level of this child.

Song Shuyan adjusted her attitude and looked towards Lin Qi, surprisingly breaking the silence first: “Lin Qi, can your son adapt to being at this school?”

Lin Qi said, “Momo is adapting very well.”

Song Shuyan showed a look of surprise, “This school has very strict rules, and the demands on children are high, even higher for parents, after all, those who study at Windsor are nobility offspring, average families’ children simply can’t afford it.”

Lin Qi heard the sarcasm in her words, but dismissed it with a smile, “Every father and mother wants their son to become a dragon, their daughter a phoenix. I hope that while Momo receives Windsor’s good education, he can also have a happy childhood.”

Song Shuyan said with a smile, “Hoping sons become dragons and daughters become phoenixes is one thing, but there’s also a saying that fits well, ‘Dragons breed dragons and phoenixes give birth to phoenixes; a pheasant’s offspring will never become a phoenix.’ Only excellent parents can raise excellent children.”
