Chapter 191: Chapter 191: Does She Still Recognize Me as Her Dad?
Lin Qi said coldly, “Exactly, I took it seriously. I’ve already cut ties with you, so please stop bothering me from now on.” With that, she hung up the phone.
Lin Cheng did not call again.
Receiving this phone call unavoidably disturbed Lin Qi’s peace of mind.
She was not a cold-blooded monster.
However, when the relationship between relatives only revolved around calculating each other’s profits without any emotional consideration, how could she cling to sentimentality?
Sometimes, she envied other women who got married, walking down the aisle with their father’s arm to hold onto.
She hadn’t yet had the chance to have her own wedding.
But it seemed she would never have the chance to walk down the aisle with her loving father.
Because her father had long removed her from his heart.
The next day.
Huo Tingdong suddenly received a call from the Old Madam.
The Old Madam explained that someone from the Lin Family had come to her, lamenting that Lin Qi, in order to marry into a wealthy family, had disowned her father and severed all ties with the Lin Family.
Huo Tingdong furrowed his brows.
Lin Qi walked into the living room to find him just finishing the call, with an odd expression on his face.
She asked, “What’s wrong?”
Huo Tingdong replied, “Your father brought people to the Huo Mansion. Grandma just called me.”
Lin Qi’s brows twisted, and she suddenly became icy, “What is he doing at the Huo Mansion?”
Could it be that yesterday’s phone call made Lin Cheng unwilling to accept it and he took people to the Huo Family to complain?
Lin Qi said, “Tell him to get lost.”
Huo Tingdong asked, “Have you broken off your relationship with him?”
Lin Qi replied, “I haven’t been in touch with him for a long time. It’s him who disowned me, his daughter. Now he complains that I’m cold-blooded. I think he just can’t accept that I am going to remarry you.”
Huo Tingdong said, “I will go back and deal with this.”
Lin Qi walked over and took his hand, “I’ll go back with you.”
She looked at Momo and Han, then said to Huo Tingdong, “Take Momo and Han back with us, too. Hasn’t grandma always wanted to see Momo? She must miss Han as well.”
Huo Tingdong nodded.
Half an hour later.
The car stopped at the entrance of Huo Mansion.
Huo Tingdong carried Momo and Han out of the car.
Lin Qi followed behind, and as soon as the four of them stepped into Huo Mansion, they heard Lin Cheng’s incessant voice in the living room: “Initially, it should have been Qianqian who married into this family. But due to a moment’s mistake, it became Lin Qi. I have dedicatedly raised this daughter from a young age. It’s through our painstaking efforts that she can enjoy such a good life today. However, I never expected her to be so ungrateful. Now that she wants to remarry your grandson, she denies her family. Is she afraid we might hold her back?”
As Lin Qi approached, she heard the hypocritical face of Lin Cheng: “She can rest assured! Does she think I, Lin Cheng, am someone who covets wealth and splendor? Right now, I just want one definite answer from her—if she still acknowledges me as her father. If she doesn’t, I will disown her in front of the Old Madam and never contact her again.”
The Old Madam looked distressed, but when she saw Lin Qi coming with Momo and Han, she immediately stood up to greet her: “Lin Qi, you’ve arrived.”

She turned to Momo and Han, delighted, reaching out to hug Momo.
But Momo hid behind the Old Madam.
He wasn’t shy; he just lacked affection for the Old Madam.
Lin Qi said, “Momo, call her Great Grandma.”
Momo pouted, “Will I get a red envelope if I call her Great Grandma?”
Lin Qi couldn’t help but laugh and cry: “You little money-grubber.”
The Old Madam hurriedly said, “Yes! Yes, I prepared it early in the morning.”
She quickly instructed the servants, “Go to my room, in the third drawer of my dressing table, and bring the large red envelope!”
“Yes.”
The servant went upstairs and soon came down with a thick stack of large red envelopes, handing it to the Old Madam.
The Old Madam smiled and handed Momo the red envelope: “Momo, this is a red envelope from Great Grandma!”
Receiving the red envelope with both hands, Momo obediently called out: “Great Grandma!”
Seeing Momo getting a red envelope, Han also said, “Great Grandma, I want a red envelope too.”
The Old Lady said, “All right, you’ll both have one.”
Huo Tingdong told the Old Madam, “Grandma, take Han and Momo upstairs. I’ll handle things here.”
The Old Madam nodded and had the nanny take Momo and Han upstairs.
Huo Tingdong wrapped his arm around Lin Qi and sat down in the living room opposite Lin Cheng.
Lin Cheng brought Zhou Qin and Lin Qianqian.
Lin Qianqian sat restlessly, glancing around at the opulence of Huo Mansion that exceeded her imagination, regretting more than ever having refused this marriage.
Especially when Huo Tingdong sat down opposite her, her discontent grew as she gazed at the handsome and noble man before her, and she tugged at Zhou Qin’s sleeve privately.
Zhou Qin patted the back of her hand, turning toward Huo Tingdong.
However, Huo Tingdong’s face was cold and indifferent, his dark eyes narrowed slightly: “Mr. Lin, what brings you here with your wife and daughter without invitation?”
This phrase was both courteous and unequivocally dismissive.
The words “without invitation” clearly indicated his stance.
He was not welcoming them.
Lin Cheng replied: “My daughter avoids seeing me, so I had no choice but to come uninvited.”
Lin Qi didn’t want to talk throughout the process.
She just felt sad, understanding the saying more deeply: “In poverty, no one asks about you, but among mountains of wealth, there are distant relatives aplenty.”
Blood is thicker than water, but in the face of money and interests, it’s so insignificant.
Especially when Lin Qi saw Lin Cheng’s sycophantic and pleasing behavior in front of Huo Tingdong, she understood exactly what Lin Cheng’s intention was for coming here.
He wanted to use Huo Tingdong as a bridge to repair the father-daughter relationship.
Afterward, the Lin Family could also climb higher, leaning on the Huo Family’s power.
Huo Tingdong asked, “So, Mr. Lin, what’s your purpose for this visit?”
Lin Cheng said: “I just want to ask her if she still acknowledges me as her father.”
Lin Qi replied: “No.”
Lin Cheng’s face turned green.
Beside him, Zhou Qin spoke excitedly, “Lin Qi, you can’t be so heartless. Regardless of the grudges between you and your father, he is the one who gave birth to and raised you. I know you resent your father, but you’re too immersed to see the whole picture. You don’t realize how much your father loves you. Otherwise, how could you have married into the Huo Family? Your father worked so hard for your happiness, yet you repay kindness with enmity and disown your kin. That’s too unreasonable.”
Lin Qi found this laughable: “That’s absurd. Why did my father marry me off to this place in the first place? Wasn’t it because the Huo Family paid a hefty bride price? The Lin Family’s business faced problems and needed investments from the Huo Family. You had asked Qianqian first, and when she refused to marry, you then married me off.”
Pausing, she twisted her brows, “Regretting it now? Regretting not having Qianqian marry into this family instead and letting me have the bargain?”
