Chapter 294: Chapter 294: Cut Off All Her Hopes
The equity and assets under Huo Tingdong’s name are immeasurable.
And now he actually wants to divide these assets to Lin Qi, isn’t this being bewitched?
Huo Tingdong said, “This is my decision on the matter.”
Regardless of why Song Shuyan has stepped so far as to this point, but his words too stand firm here—if Song Shuyan insists on giving birth to these two children, he won’t leave a penny of his assets to her children!
This is what he meant by “bearing the consequences”!
After Huo Tingdong finished speaking, he forcefully withdrew his hand from Huo Yanlin’s grip and turned to leave swiftly!
Huo Yanlin chased after him for a few steps, but it was only then that Old Madam Huo seemed to react, starting to yell furiously, “Has he gone mad?! Is he cursed or something? Why is he acting so dazed and lost of sense, actually wanting to divide his wealth with that woman?”
Ye Chan also became tense, “Is he serious? He has tens of thousands of billions in equity and cash assets, and just like that, with a casual word, he’s gonna divide it with Lin Qi?!”
Huo Yanlin said, “It seems he’s serious! He usually doesn’t speak carelessly. Whatever comes out of his mouth, he makes sure to follow through.”
He too was somewhat panicked.
His so-called family division meant to prematurely distribute all of his wealth to Lin Qi and those two children, clearly telling everyone that the child born from Song Shuyan could not hope to receive a penny from his name!
Song Shuyan had been lying in the room before hearing the sound of a sports car engine outside the window. She went to the bedside and, seeing Huo Tingdong driving away, immediately went downstairs.
Downstairs, Old Madam Huo and Huo Yanlin were making a huge fuss: “Quick, stop him! What if he really divides the property with that woman?”
Song Shuyan came downstairs, walked over to Old Madam Huo, and supported her arm, “Grandma, what’s happened? Did Tingdong just come by? Did you start fighting over my matter?”
Old Madam Huo was so angry she was itching to bite: “You still ask? He just threatened to separate from our family over your matter!”
Song Shuyan’s face whitened, “How is that possible?!”
Separate from the family?
What separation?
Aren’t all of the Huo Family’s assets in Huo Tingdong’s hands?
That’s why she was giving everything she’s got to bear the pressure in order to birth the children, as long as these two children come into this world, she could fight a beautiful battle to turn her situation around.
She fantasized countless times that once she bore him two cute children, Huo Tingdong would dote on her son uncontrollably, and she would have the chance to win Huo Tingdong back from Lin Qi!
One could say, her entire future was bet on these two children!
Now, Huo Tingdong says he wants to separate from the family, what does that mean?
Old Madam Huo said irritably, “Who knows what he’s thinking? He said he wants to give half of his property to that woman!”
Song Shuyan’s face underwent a severe change, “What?”
Ye Chan added with neither warmth nor chill, “Don’t you understand? Tingdong is afraid that your child will be born and fight with the two sons that Lin Qi bore over his assets, hence, he plans to distribute the assets to those two children in advance! Even if your child is born, it won’t matter anymore; by then the assets would have been certified and transferred, and your child won’t get a penny of child support! He doesn’t want to recognize the child you’re carrying at all!”
She could see that Song Shuyan’s risky move was just a ploy to use the children to ascend, and Huo Tingdong had directly nipped all of her hopes in the bud!
Song Shuyan’s face grew more and more sullen, “That’s impossible… With so many assets he has, even if he wanted to split them, it wouldn’t be possible to do so in one or two months! He’s just speaking out of momentary anger.”
Old Madam Huo said, “I hope so!”
Ye Chan asked Huo Yanlin, “Yanlin, exactly how much does Tingdong have in assets?”
Huo Yanlin said, “Excluding immovable assets and cash flow, just his bonds, options, securities, and deposits amount to several hundred billions at the least. I haven’t even included his cars and equity shares. The current stock value of Huace is at its historical peak, making it very difficult to calculate specifics, but it’s definitely more than what I imagine.”
Those luxury cars were all minor items, not counted in the valuation.
But the equity in Huace was formidable and immeasurable.
If he really were to divide the assets and include the equity in Huace, it would be beyond calculation.
Several hundred billions!
My goodness…
Song Shuyan felt her heart tighten.
She had thought that Huo Tingdong would force her to go to the hospital for an abortion, thus, she relied on Old Madam Huo’s protection, not expecting that Huo Tingdong would take such a drastic step!
Dividing his assets!
…
At noon.
Lin Qi went to the canteen to get lunch and found a place to sit down.
Han Na shared a table with her.
Seeing Lin Qi looking listless, Han Na asked with concern, “Lin Qi, what’s wrong?”
Lin Qi replied, “I’ve been listening to training sessions all morning and feel a bit dizzy.”
Han Na commented, “I can tell President Qi really values you, assigning you all those courses, obviously aiming to groom you.”
The canteen quickly filled to capacity as lunchtime approached.
Lin Qi looked around at the dense crowd of people and marveled, “It’s particularly crowded today.”
Due to the limited seating in the canteen, lunchtime was strictly divided by area and time, for instance, project groups were uniformly scheduled to dine at 11:30, to ensure that each employee could find a seat to eat.
Today, the crowd wasn’t well controlled, flooding into the canteen and making seats hard to find.
Lin Qi and Han Na had a four-person table, with two seats still vacant.
Hungry and impatient, Lin Qi gobbled up her rice and chicken leg in one breath; halfway through, she suddenly realized her appetite had increased – the same meal would previously have been more than enough, perhaps due to her pregnancy, she now found her appetite whetted, feeling she could eat another chicken leg.
However, the queue at the service window was particularly long.
Lin Qi decided to make do with her lunch and order some takeaway to supplement once she got back to her workplace.
Suddenly, a familiar voice came from beside, “Hello, is this seat taken?”
Lin Qi looked up to see Mo Ke smiling and standing beside the table, and while asking, he placed his things on the table to save a spot.
“Assistant Mo?” Lin Qi was somewhat taken aback.
Why is Mo Ke here?
Being from the CEO’s office and Huo Tingdong’s assistant, he usually dines outside with Huo Tingdong at noon. Given his high position, he normally wouldn’t come to the employee canteen.
Han Na recognized Mo Ke as somewhat familiar, wrinkled her brows, and asked, “You look familiar…”
Lin Qi reminded her, “He is Mr. Huo’s assistant.”
Han Na came to a realization, “Ah! Now I remember, he’s a big shot from the CEO’s office…”
