She Lost Memory Before the Divorce-Chapter 101 - 0: Emotional Idiot Huo Tingxiao
Chapter 101: Chapter 0101: Emotional Idiot Huo Tingxiao
“You don’t understand Mu Lan at all, no, I should say you’ve never even thought about trying to understand her.
For you, marriage, a wife, is just a part of being a successful man, no different from the watch on your wrist.
You simply don’t understand that people are alive, have feelings, unlike these inanimate objects.”
The tone of Lin Yize’s words was very calm, as if he were simply stating a fact, yet they sounded so ironic to Huo Tingxiao’s ears.
Since childhood, as the heir, he had never even considered what might be wrong with this perception.
Indeed, for the seven years of his marriage, Huo Tingxiao had lived just like this.
...
He considered himself already very respectful to his wife Mu Lan, at least, he did not, like his father Huo Qidong, have countless women, a fixed mistress, countless lovers. He did not love Mu Lan, nor did he love anyone else. There was no emotional infidelity and no physical infidelity because he believed that since it was a marriage, he had to adhere to the rules of fidelity.
Isn’t society’s assignment for men to be kings of success, money above all? In that case, what is wrong with that?
Isn’t the marriage system about turning two people into an economic unit? He had never done anything to harm the interests of both parties; in that case, what’s wrong with that?
“I thought Director Lin was a smart man, but it turns out he can have such fanciful thoughts.
In the adult world, the essence of any relationship is ultimately interest.
Feelings? What value does such an ethereal and abstract thing even have?
Or are you going to naively say that she is the most important thing in your heart? Such intangible things like feelings, they are not as solid as interest, as tangible as material things.”
Huo Tingxiao spoke as if it were a matter of course, while Lin Yize looked at him somewhat stunned, with an involuntary trace of sympathy in his eyes. But more than that, he felt sorry for Mu Lan. What a waste of seven years she had had on a man like this! Especially when he thought of that incident, Lin Yize felt a constriction in his chest. The Huo Family’s upbringing was indeed evident; truly, not a single normal person!
The man before him was just cold-hearted. To say Huo Tingxiao was a stone would almost be an understatement; where was he anything like a person?
“Huo Tingxiao, I truly feel sorry for you.
Don’t you have anyone in your heart for whom you would give everything? Those related to you by blood, would you be just as cold-blooded towards them?”
Huo Tingxiao looked at Lin Yize unblinkingly, finding him even stranger.
“Blood relations, after all, are just a matter of DNA recognition. What does that prove? Pathetic? Where’s the pathos?”
“You—”
This remark sent a chill down Lin Yize’s back. If Huo Tingxiao could be so detached from those close to him, what sort of tactics would he use against strangers?
No wonder he was able to bring TX Corporation to its current success in just a few years. He must employ ruthless methods; how harsh must this man’s heart be?
“So, you mean to say the only significance in your life is your business achievements? Don’t you feel empty without someone to share with, no matter how great your success is?”
Lin Yize’s words made Huo Tingxiao smile, his tone mild, but his eyes carried a touch of tenderness.
“Who says we don’t have someone to share with? I have Mu Lan, and I can share with her.”
“What’s the point of sharing with a woman you don’t love?”
“Because she’s Mrs. Huo, there’s significance.”
Huo Tingxiao had his own set of logic, which sounded so bizarre but was somehow… as if suddenly thinking of something, Lin Yize stared at Huo Tingxiao for a while and then burst into laughter.
“Hahaha…”
Huo Tingxiao stared at him as if he were looking at a madman, his brows knitted together in frustration.
“What are you laughing at?”
Lin Yize didn’t speak, just laughed uncontrollably, without any hint of dignity, laughing so hard that even tears came out.
Huo Tingxiao, oh Huo Tingxiao, this man really was the most peculiar one he had ever seen. It wasn’t that he did not love Mu Lan; he simply did not know what love was, so he just used his own fixed thinking to give all his actions a reasonable definition, that was it.
But the good thing was—fortunately, he did not know, and he might even have trapped himself within these rigid frameworks.
Did such an emotional idiot really deserve that he should go to him for a direct confrontation? Lin Yize felt like he was being dumb to death. Such low-level opponents, winning against them was a bit disgraceful.
But then again, if he could win easily, why wouldn’t he enjoy it?
“I… I’m not laughing at anything, really nothing.”
Huo Tingxiao felt as if he had been treated like a fool, Lin Yize’s eyes clearly held a disdainful view of him.
Where did this man get his confidence from? Unless Mu Lan went crazy, how could she give up on him and choose Lin Yize as a husband?
In nature, females only choose the strongest males, and humans, of course, are no exception. Mu Lan was smart; she would naturally not choose a weakling as her partner. How could Lin Yize compare to him?
“Mr. Lin, if you have time to laugh, you might as well spend more time thinking about your future development. Sea City, actually, is not suitable for you.”

The implications of Huo Tingxiao’s words were crystal clear, and Lin Yize understood them perfectly. He wanted to cut off any interaction between Lin Yize and Mu Lan.
“Mr. Huo, you couldn’t possibly think that you know all my cards?
Mu Lan has a good relationship with my mother; not only has she recognized her as her godmother, but she also wants to introduce Mrs. Mu to her. What do you think you’re going to do to cut off this relationship?
And, I’d advise you not to mess with my family. The consequences, I’m afraid Mr. Huo, you cannot handle.”
Huo Tingxiao showed no sign of intimidation; he had long gathered all the information about Lin Yize and naturally was very sure of getting what he wanted.
“Really? Just because your surname is Yun? I didn’t expect there to be a connection with the Yun Family of Shen City.
However, I’ve heard that your mother was exiled from the family years ago, leaving nothing but the surname Yun… all other ties… have long been severed.”
Lin Yize clenched his fists; he actually dug up those old affairs!
“You think I rely on the prestige of the Yun Family? That’s really going to disappoint you.
Mr. Huo, who do you think sent me to Sea City this time? Oh, right, my big boss, it seems he hasn’t had a formal introduction to Mr. Huo yet.”
The big boss? Huo Tingxiao narrowed his eyes. Suddenly, he had an unpleasant premonition, and his right eyelid twitched violently.
“Speaking of my big boss, actually, Mr. Huo also knows him. However, my boss has instructed me not to reveal his identity.
But I know Mr. Huo is a smart man, someone not to be trifled with, and surely you won’t continue to provoke.”
Lin Yize deliberately left things hanging, his words half-said, intentionally creating an itch that Huo Tingxiao couldn’t scratch.
Because he was certain that Huo Tingxiao absolutely could not find out the identity of the big boss.
“Mr. Lin might not know, but the thing I can’t stand the most is other people’s threats!”
