Xia Ningxi lay in a pool of blood after a difficult labor from her two-year marriage, completely forgetting that it was the day of his wedding to someone else.
Huo Nanxiao said, "Leave th...
Chapter 1121 Extra 2
Xia Wanwan fell to the ground, her hands and feet scraped and bruised. With red eyes, she looked up at Huo Nanxiao with teary eyes and said, "You've finally come to see me."
"You need something from me?" Huo Nanxiao asked coldly.
Xia Wanwan felt wronged: "I just wanted to see you."
Huo Nanxiao replied, "I have nothing to do with you anymore. I'm very busy, and I can't just see anyone I want."
Xia Wanwan bit her lip, tears streaming down her face: "Are you still holding a grudge against me?"
Huo Nanxiao said coldly, "If Xia Ningxi hadn't shown me some pity and still had a sliver of feeling for you, I wouldn't have come to see you."
Xia Wanwan was stunned and looked at him in disbelief: "So, you didn't come to see me voluntarily? Xia Ningxi sent you to find me?"
"Otherwise, do you think I would still see you?" Huo Nanxiao retorted.
Xia Wanwan could no longer hold back her tears. "So that's how it is. So that's really how it is. You really have no feelings for me at all?"
"I have never liked you." Huo Nanxiao's voice was devoid of any emotion.
Xia Wanwan collapsed to the ground.
Fu Xiyu quickly stepped forward and helped the weak woman up.
“Alright, Nan Xiao, I asked you to comfort her, not to provoke her. Didn’t you see how sick she is?” Fu Xiyu rebuked him.
Huo Nanxiao retorted, "You left the Fu family for her, losing everything you had. Was it worth it? Can't you see how she treated you?"
“I only consider Wanwan a friend,” Fu Xiyu replied.
Huo Nanxiao: "She is your friend, not mine. You don't need to tell me whether she lives or dies in the future. I don't care and I don't want to care."
"Alright, stop talking." Fu Xiyu was afraid that if Huo Nanxiao continued, Xia Wanwan would get angry.
"Since there's nothing else, I'll be going now." Huo Nanxiao didn't intend to linger any longer, so he turned and walked towards the door.
"Wait a minute," Xia Wanwan called out to him.
Huo Nanxiao asked impatiently, "Is there anything else?"
Xia Wanwan's eyes reddened: "Even if I did something wrong before, have you forgotten your promise?"
"How dare you bring that up?" Huo Nanxiao said, displeased.
Xia Wanwan trembled all over.
Huo Nanxiao: "If you want to die, then go ahead and die. You don't need to drag others down with you. Who are you trying to impress by making yourself like this? Do you think I'd take you back and live a good life with you just because you pity me? Impossible."
Xia Wanwan gave a bitter smile, tears streaming down her face.
She never expected Huo Nanxiao to be so cruel to her when they met again. She wanted to cry, but found that she had no tears left.
So this is what it feels like not to love someone.
When Huo Nanxiao no longer loved her, he truly didn't care whether she lived or died.
Xia Wanwan slumped to the ground, tears welling in her eyes.
Huo Nanxiao didn't look at her again. He knew Xia Wanwan's character too well and was also very clear about her methods.
He might have felt sorry for Xia Wanwan's plight back then, but now, Huo Nanxiao has let go of his resentment. She has only herself to blame for what she has done.
Huo Nanxiao left without hesitation.
As he stepped outside, Xia Wanwan coughed up blood, startling Fu Xiyu, who immediately called for a doctor.
Xia Ningxi stood outside the window, and she could see everything inside the ward clearly.
Seeing Xia Wanwan so thin, Xia Ningxi felt a mix of emotions. Seeing Huo Nanxiao's indifference, Xia Ningxi felt even more complicated.
At this moment, as an observer, Xia Ningxi suddenly didn't know what to say.
She had seen how much Huo Nanxiao cared about Xia Wanwan, and she had seen how he would risk everything for her. But she rarely saw him so cold and ruthless.
Watching Xia Wanwan being carried onto a hospital bed by several doctors for emergency treatment, Xia Ningxi said nothing.
"Go back." Huo Nanxiao said coldly.
Xia Ningxi: "Fu Xiyu hopes you will encourage Xia Wanwan and help her live on."
"And then what? Encouraging her is the same as giving her a chance. She only places her hopes on men and never thinks about truly loving herself. Does she have to die if others don't love her anymore?" Huo Nanxiao asked rhetorically.
Xia Ningxi fell silent.
Huo Nanxiao: "She is an adult and should pay the price for her choices."
As they left, a team of experts ran towards them.
Fu Xiyu spent all his money hiring the best doctors for Xia Wanwan and even rented the entire hospital so that she could be happy, but all of this seemed to be in vain.
Shortly after the doctor took Xia Wanwan into the operating room, he issued a critical condition notice and asked Fu Xiyu to contact her family to sign it.
Fu Xiyu originally wanted to sign it himself, but he felt somewhat embarrassed because of his status.
He contacted Xia Wenhe, hoping that Xia Wenhe would come and see Xia Wanwan.
However, Xia Wenhe has given up contacting Xia Wanwan since he learned that she had been abandoned by Huo Nanxiao. Even when he learned that she was critically ill, he was unwilling to come and see her.
A daughter who had lost her usefulness was not worth mentioning to him; her death was no big deal.
Xia Wenhe hung up on Fu Xiyu without hesitation, and when he called back, the phone was switched off.
Fu Xiyu was desperate.
He never expected that his painstaking efforts to persuade Huo Nanxiao to come and see Xia Wanwan would end like this.
Standing outside the operating room, Fu Xiyu looked at Huo Nanxiao with a complicated expression. He was in a heavy mood, but it was obvious that the way he looked at Huo Nanxiao had changed.
Xia Wanwan suffered a cerebral hemorrhage, which triggered a series of complications that the doctors had not anticipated.
The medical technology in the small county is limited. Even though they were a team of experts invited by Fu Xiyu, they were only there to treat Xia Wanwan's condition. Craniotomy would be too complicated.
"Young Master Fu, please contact Tang En's team to come over. Miss Wanwan has a chip implanted in her brain, and we don't know the exact location, so it's difficult to operate on her." The doctor urged Fu Xiyu anxiously to call for help.
Fu Xiyu fell silent; Tang En's team was no longer paying attention to them.
How could he possibly ask someone to come over?
Fu Xiyu's gaze fell on Xia Ningxi.
Xia Ningxi remained silent for a long time.
"Please, save her," Fu Xiyu pleaded.
Xia Ningxi said, "I can save people, but I can't cure her heartache."
"I just want her to live!" Fu Xiyu's eyes reddened.
Xia Ningxi took a deep breath and said to the nurse, "Take me into the operating room."
This is the last surgery she will perform for Xia Wanwan. After the surgery, the two parties will be completely even.
Xia Wanwan's surgery was successful, and she experienced no adverse reactions afterward.
But she didn't say anything after she woke up. When she learned that Xia Ningxi had saved her, she didn't say a word or express any gratitude.
Xia Ningxi knew that she was upset. Before leaving, she reminded Xia Wanwan, "Your body is your own, and you have a lot now. Sui'an is still waiting for you to raise her. Young Master Fu treats you very well. If you can see his sacrifices, then live well."
Fu Xiyu's eyes welled up with tears, and he cast a grateful glance at Xia Ningxi.
Xia Ningxi continued, "Take good care of yourself and be there for your child as he grows up."
Xia Wanwan looked at her with some emotion: "Why did you save me? Don't you hate me?"
Xia Ningxi smiled bitterly: "I used to hate you, but you're actually quite pitiful too. We don't need to torture each other. Life is too long. Besides hatred, there are many other things worth doing in this world."
"Xia Wanwan, I remember you used to really want to be a designer. Actually, once you're fully recovered, you can do what you love."
Putting everything else aside, Xia Ningxi doesn't want any girl in this world to contemplate suicide for a man.
No matter how many things Xia Wanwan did to wrong her, at this moment, Xia Ningxi hoped that Xia Wanwan could live a good life.
"I have to go now."
Xia Ningxi couldn't bear to let Xia Wanwan perish on her own. After leaving, she found Xia Wanwan's attending physician and told him all of Xia Wanwan's past surgical and treatment records.
As for Fu Xiyu, he stayed in the ward comforting Xia Wanwan: "Don't cry. Xia Ningxi is right. You are only thirty years old. You have a long future ahead of you. As long as you take good care of your health, there is still a chance and possibility for everything."
Xia Wanwan's eyes reddened: "Thank you, thank you for always helping me."
“We are good friends, and this is all I should do,” Fu Xiyu replied.
Xia Wanwan asked, "Where is Sui An?"
“I’ve hired a nanny to take care of him, so don’t worry, he’s very healthy now,” Fu Xiyu replied.
Xia Wanwan lowered her head, her voice hoarse: "Huo Suian doesn't sound good, and it's not good for him to have my surname Xia either. Could you let him take your surname in the future?"
Fu Xiyu's eyes lit up: "Great!"
"Thank you!" Xia Wanwan was very grateful.
Fu Xiyu carefully pulled her into his arms: "Wanwan, you don't need to thank me. If you're willing, I can take care of Sui'an for the rest of my life, treat him as my own son, and raise him to adulthood."
"I'm relieved to hear you say that." Xia Wanwan's eyes were moist, but she smiled.
Fu Xiyu was very happy because this was the first time Xia Wanwan had smiled in the past few months.
"You smiled." Fu Xiyu was very excited.
Xia Wanwan said, "I suddenly realized that I want to eat. I've been on IV fluids all this time, which has been too much of a strain on my body. I want to drink porridge, drink soy milk, and eat Peking duck, the kind with crispy skin."
Fu Xiyu was delighted: "Okay, wait for me, I'll go buy it now!"
"Okay, I'll wait for you," Xia Wanwan replied with a smile.
Fu Xiyu quickly left the ward and hurried downstairs.
Just as he stepped out of the hospital, a loud bang came from behind him. He stopped, looked down, and saw that his shoes were covered in blood…
A sharp scream came from behind.
Countless people looked in Fu Xiyu's direction.
He turned around blankly, only to find that Xia Wanwan, who should have been lying comfortably in the hospital room waiting for him to return with Peking duck, was now lying on the floor...
Fu Xiyu staggered a few steps and collapsed to the ground.
"No, this is impossible, this is impossible!"
"Doctor! Doctor!"
"Help her!"
Fu Xiyu completely lost control and yelled at the doctor.
The doctors in the hospital all came out.
When Xia Ningxi saw that the person lying on the ground was Xia Wanwan, she froze.
Fu Xiyu grabbed her hand excitedly: "Xia Ningxi, please save her, please save her one more time."
Xia Ningxi opened her mouth, but couldn't utter a single word.
Doctors rushed to try to save him, but in the end they all fell silent; no one knew why this had happened.
Xia Wanwan's attending physician, in particular, was devastated.
They had clearly done their best to treat Xia Wanwan's illness, and the surgery had gone very smoothly. Xia Wanwan only needed to rest and recover soon.
Her life couldn't get much worse.
Why?
Finally, the doctor covered Xia Wanwan with a white sheet.
There was no need for further treatment.
"I'm sorry, we've done our best." The doctor felt very guilty.
Xia Ningxi stood there, unsure of what to say.
When she left the ward, Xia Wanwan was fine. As long as Xia Wanwan was willing to take good care of herself, she would recover soon.
She didn't understand why things had turned out this way.
Fu Xiyu took a while to regain his composure. He didn't cry, but contacted the funeral home and notified Xia Wenhe to come and see Xia Wanwan one last time.
When Xia Wenhe learned that Xia Wanwan had jumped off the building, he only said "bad luck" and hung up the phone.
Fu Xiyu suddenly found it ridiculous. He realized that a father could be so heartless once his child was no longer of any use to him.
Fu Xiyu felt a pang of sadness, but he still forced a smile. He looked at Huo Nanxiao behind Xia Ningxi and said calmly, "From now on, she won't bother you anymore. You can finally live your own life in peace."
Huo Nanxiao remained silent for a long time before slowly speaking: "Perhaps this is her own choice."
"Yes, it was I who forced her to live." Fu Xiyu smiled bitterly.
He made arrangements for Xia Wanwan's funeral and personally packed up her belongings. He knew that no one in the world cared about Xia Wanwan, but he did.
Therefore, Fu Xiyu preserved all of Xia Wanwan's belongings, intending to seal them away as a memento.
But when Fu Xiyu came across Xia Wanwan's notes, he couldn't help but open them and take a look.
The notebook was filled with Huo Nanxiao's name. Even though he was the one who accompanied Xia Wanwan through her treatment, took care of her, and comforted her in the end, Xia Wanwan never wrote a single word about him in the notebook.
When Fu Xiyu turned to the last page of his notebook, he felt very heavy-hearted.
That was the last line Xia Wanwan wrote before she jumped off the building.
Perhaps, he will only remember me after I'm gone.
The handwriting is crooked and uneven; she must have put a lot of effort into writing it.
Fu Xiyu didn't know whether to feel sorry for him or resent him. He couldn't understand why there were such foolish people in the world.
Even if Xia Wanwan is dead, will Huo Nanxiao really remember her?
If she doesn't love him anymore, she just doesn't love him anymore; all of this is just her obsession.
Even at the very end, Xia Wanwan didn't leave him a single word.
So what is he so fixated on?
Upon reflection, Fu Xiyu suddenly felt like a joke.
Fu Xiyu closed his notebook.
"Young Master Fu, shall we take all these things back to the villa?" A subordinate was sorting through the sealed boxes.
Fu Xiyu smiled wryly: "No need, just take them out and burn them all."
"They were all burned? These were all Miss Wanwan's belongings." The subordinate was very surprised.
Fu Xiyu, however, remained frighteningly calm: "There's no need to keep them. Burn them all."
After he left, his subordinates burned all of Xia Wanwan's belongings. Fu Xiyu did not look back as he lit the flames.
He returned to the Fu family and resumed his life as the high and mighty eldest son.
For him, everything in the past seemed to have never happened.
Xia Wanwan's name simply vanished from everyone's world; no one thought of her, and no one mourned her anymore.
Fu Xiyu had promised Xia Wanwan that he would take good care of Huo Suian.
He carefully found a couple who had been infertile for many years and sent Huo Suian away. Everything returned to normal, and no one remembered Xia Wanwan's name anymore.
And he will never mention it again.
In the following years, Fu Xiyu joined the Fu family's company and took over the business. A young and beautiful girl appeared by his side. She was bright and charming, confident and flamboyant, and possessed a rare courage and strength. There was no trace of the old friend.
Fu Xiyu doted on her and, despite all opposition, married her, spending a fortune to hold a grand wedding for her. At the time, the whole city envied her, and countless people were filled with envy.
Everyone who knew Fu Xiyu thought that girl was a substitute, but it was all just their speculation...
