Chapter 1181: Preferential Treatment (3)

Just that his standing among the upper class was quite low.

The rich young men in the capital were dead envious of him because he was with a well-born young lady like Qin Si and had even been acknowledged by the head of the Qin family, Qin Zhiyuan.

No one believed that Qin Si really loved Lin Dongxu. They all believed that Qin Si was too good for him.

He only managed to court Qin Si because of his connection with Mo Beihan.

Everyone knew that Qin Si was friends with the Mo family’s young mistress. She was one of her close friends. Old Madam Qin was even Gu Qingyao’s teacher!

This Lin Dongxu was Mo Beihan’s man. He must have someone backing him in order to court Qin Si.

If not for his connection with Mo Beihan, he would have no right to court Qin Si.

Everyone who knew these people had perceived it.

So Huo Tianning was rather surprised. He had not expected Qin Si to introduce him to frankly.

He was the young master of the Huo Financial Group, and his status was even higher than that of Qin Si! Qin Si was an important young lady, and now she had a boyfriend like this. He thought she would be embarrassed to run into an old friend now!

Huo Tianning smiled briefly then straightened his expensive suit again. He smiled and extended his hand towards Lin Dongxu. “How do you do? I was friends with Si Si when we were in France. I am Huo Tianning, Huo Financial Group’s Huo Lin is my father.”

At this time, everyone had an instinctive respect for people from overseas. Once they heard that Huo Tianning was from France and the young master of Huo Financial Group, they were all very envious of him.

Lin Dongxu could never compare in terms of status.

The expression on Lin Dongxt’s face never wavered. When he heard Huo Tianning’s words, he smiled politely and reached out to shake his hand briefly.

“How do you do? Of course, I have heard the great name of Huo Financial Group’s Chairman, Huo Lin. But please forgive me for my ignorance. I have heard of his eldest son, Huo Tianxiang, but as for you... are you a son of the legal wife? Or of a concubine?”

Society was relatively liberal at that time. Among the younger generation, everyone understood what it meant to be a son of a legal wife or a concubine.

Everyone in upper-class society cared very much about their dignity. Even if they scolded someone, they did so in a civilized manner and would not be too coarse.

‘legitimate son’ did not sound nice, so sometimes people referred to them as sons of a concubine.

It was precisely because ‘illegitimate son’ sounded ugly that it seemed particularly sarcastic if someone said you were the son of a concubine.

‘The Huo family had maintained a high profile during their return to China, and they had gone around building connections. Many people had already heard that the Huo family had many illegitimate sons.

The eldest son, Huo Tianxiang, was clearly the most important in the family. So Lin Dongxu was showing that he was no pushover when he asked Huo Tianning that question.

Huo Tianning’s expression changed.

“You... you... you Lin Dongxu! Fine, fine. I will remember you!”

Although he was not illegitimate, Huo Tianning could not possibly just say outright that he was the son of a concubine.

Lin Dongxu’s mocking made him feel as if his dark secret had been exposed.

Lin Dongxu smiled. “Thank you!”

With that, he grabbed Qin Si’s hand and led her to the private room that he had reserved.

The waitress just happened to come over at that time. She gave Lin Dongxu and Qin Sia slight bow and said politely, “Mr Lin, Miss Qin, your private room is ready. Please come with me..”
