Chapter 136 Little Bastard

Xia Luoluo's breathing became rapid. For some reason, she felt something was wrong, especially when she met Huo Nanxiao's eyes. Xia Luoluo felt an indescribable sense of suffocation.

At that moment, she felt a little scared.

Her mind raced, trying to figure out where things went wrong, and finally, Huo Yuan's face appeared in her mind.

Could it be that Huo Yuan displeased Huo Nanxiao?

It must be.

This little bastard wouldn't be spouting nonsense in front of Huo Nanxiao, would he?

Xia Luoluo suddenly felt a little flustered, but before she could explain, someone grabbed her neck.

Xia Luoluo's face turned deathly pale instantly.

"Young Master Huo, what are you doing?" Xia Luoluo asked in anguish.

A fierce fire, capable of incinerating a person, burned in Huo Nanxiao's deep eyes. His thin, cold lips parted slightly: "Did you tell Huo Yuan that I don't like him?"

"I never said anything like that," Xia Luoluo quickly distanced herself from the situation.

Huo Nanxiao tightened his grip.

Xia Luoluo was in great pain. She explained in a hoarse voice, "Young Master Huo, I really didn't say such a thing."

"Do you think I'd believe you?" Huo Nanxiao retorted.

Xia Luoluo felt like Huo Nanxiao was about to snap her neck. She had never experienced anything like this before. Tears streamed down her face.

"Young Master Huo, I really didn't say anything like that to A Yuan. You have to believe me. This won't do me any good. Someone must be framing me," Xia Luoluo explained, crying.

Huo Nanxiao didn't speak, but he tightened his grip on Xia Luoluo's hand.

Charlotte felt like she couldn't breathe and struggled painfully.

She saw the murderous intent in Huo Nanxiao's eyes, and her heart skipped a beat.

Did Huo Nanxiao believe Huo Yuan's words?

Xia Luoluo panicked and quickly said, "These words must have been said by Xia Ningxi. Xia Ningxi resents my sister and wants to take A Yuan away. It must have been Xia Ningxi who taught A Yuan. It really wasn't me."

"Now that things have come to this, you still want to shift the blame onto Xia Ningxi?" Huo Nanxiao narrowed his eyes dangerously.

Charlotte cried and said, "I really didn't."

A ruthless glint flashed in Huo Nanxiao's eyes.

He angrily shoved Charlotte away.

Xia Luoluo screamed as she twisted her high heels and fell to the ground with a thud, scraping her ankle and knees, which were covered in blood.

The pain was so intense it felt like her heart was being torn apart, and tears streamed down her face uncontrollably.

Huo Nanxiao looked down at Xia Luoluo and said, "Get out."

Xia Luoluo bit her lip and looked up: "Young Master Huo, would you rather believe Xia Ningxi than me? If it weren't for Xia Ningxi, how could my sister have become like this? This is all her trap. She wants to steal Huo Yuan away and deliberately framed me."

“I’ve taken such good care of A-Yuan for so many years, how could I possibly sow discord between you two? I would never say anything bad about Huo Yuan; I truly consider him my own son.” Qianqian Xiaoshan

Xia Luoluo cried out in grievance.

Huo Nanxiao sneered: "Do you really think I don't know whether you treat Huo Yuan as a son or a pawn?"

Xia Luoluo's face turned deathly pale.

Huo Nanxiao said, "I'm not punishing you today because you raised Huo Yuan for several years. If I hear you gossiping behind my back again, I'll cut off your tongue."

Huo Nanxiao turned and left.

Xia Luoluo slumped to the ground, watching Huo Nanxiao walk further and further away, her hands clenched into fists.

The Huo family's servants hurriedly came forward to help her.

Charlotte forced a smile: "Thank you."

"Miss Xia, Young Master Huo has been in a bad mood lately. Perhaps you should visit the Huo family less often in the future," the butler advised.

Xia Luoluo bit her lip, took a deep look at Huo Nanxiao's back, took a deep breath, and said to the butler, "I understand, thank you for reminding me."

Afterwards, Xia Luoluo limped away from the Huo family's old house.

Back at the Xia family home.

Zhou Fenglin was startled and asked in a shrill voice, "Luo Luo, where did you get these injuries?"

"It's all because of that little bastard Huo Yuan, he actually learned to talk bad about me!" Xia Luoluo gritted her teeth.

Zhou Fenglin said, "Were all these injuries inflicted by Huo Yuan?"

"It's Huo Nanxiao. He believed what Huo Yuan said. This little bastard only has eyes for Xia Ningxi and doesn't care about me at all. That's not all. He even dared to gossip in front of Huo Nanxiao. If I had known that this little bastard would harm me behind my back, I shouldn't have let him be born in the first place!" Xia Luoluo was furious.

Zhou Fenglin never expected that Huo Yuan would have such audacity.

"Mom, what should I do now? The Huo family wants to bring Xia Ningxi back. What should I do if Huo Yuan finds out that Xia Ningxi is his biological mother?" Xia Luoluo grabbed Zhou Fenglin's hand fearfully.

At this moment, Zhou Fenglin also panicked and said, "No, Huo Yuan isn't that smart."

“But Huo Yuan used to only listen to me, but now he doesn’t. I’m really scared,” Xia Luoluo replied.

Zhou Fenglin said, "It must be that bitch Xia Ningxi who deceived Huo Yuan with sweet words. Don't panic. You are the one who raised Huo Yuan. Huo Nanxiao may not really side with Xia Ningxi. The person he loves most is your sister. What is Xia Ningxi? How dare she compare to your sister?"

"Even if Huo Yuan is the young master of the Huo family, he is just a bastard born of Xia Ningxi. Huo Nanxiao may not really like him. As long as your sister is around, Xia Ningxi will never be the eldest daughter-in-law of the Huo family in this lifetime."

Xia Luoluo said, "Then what should I do? I can't just stand by and watch Xia Ningxi get close to Huo Nanxiao under the guise of taking care of Huo Yuan, can I? What if the two of them develop feelings for each other over time?"

A vicious glint flashed in Zhou Fenglin's eyes: "If Huo Yuan can't become our pawn, he absolutely can't become Xia Ningxi's pawn either. Didn't you say that Xia Ningxi has another son?"

“Yes, we live in the suburbs.” Charlotte frowned. “What does Mother want to do?”

"Whether she wants the child she raised or to fight us for Huo Yuan, I think she knows the answer in her heart," Zhou Fenglin replied.

...

That evening.

Xia Ningxi received a call from Xia Jingcheng as soon as she came out of the operating room.

Xia Xingxing has disappeared.

Xia Ningxi didn't even have time to change out of her surgical gown before rushing home.

"Mommy, Mommy, my brother is missing!" Xia Chuchu cried as she ran towards Xia Ningxi.

Xia Xingxing's toys were scattered in the yard.

He usually likes to play with toys in the yard, and Xia Jingcheng will always be there to watch over him. But just now, he went inside to pour a cup of tea, and when he came out, Xia Xingxing was gone.

Xia Jingcheng searched all the surrounding streets but couldn't find any trace of Xia Xingxing.

Xia Ningxi panicked, fearing something might have happened to Xia Xingxing, and frantically searched for Xia Xingxing's whereabouts.
