Chapter 153 It's Time to Go Bankrupt

Zhou Fenglin's words were extremely harsh and shocked the entire Huo family. They looked at Zhou Fenglin in disbelief, unable to imagine that she could be so audacious.

Lu Qi said angrily, "Madam Zhou, please watch your words!"

"Hmph." Zhou Fenglin snorted coldly, not at all thinking that he had said anything wrong.

Xia Xingxing was also stunned for a few seconds. With sharp eyes, she saw Huo Nanxiao walking out of the Huo family's old house. The little girl cried out and rushed into Huo Nanxiao's arms.

"Daddy, Grandma scolded me, boohoo, I was so scared!" he cried in his childish voice, tears streaming down his face, looking extremely aggrieved.

Huo Nanxiao held Xia Xingxing in his arms, his brows furrowed.

Zhou Fenglin was unfazed by Huo Nanxiao's cold gaze and aggressively questioned, "Young Master Huo, what exactly do you mean by making Luo Luo kneel here all night? What did Luo Luo do to offend you?"

Huo Nanxiao's face hardened: "You came here just for this?"

“That’s right. Luo Luo has taken care of Huo Yuan for so many years. Even if she hasn’t done anything great, she has certainly worked hard. I don’t know why you’re punishing her like this. If Wanwan finds out, she’ll definitely be angry.” Zhou Fenglin brought up Xia Wanwan’s name.

A chilling glint flashed in Huo Nanxiao's eyes.

Xia Xingxing noticed Huo Nanxiao's unusual behavior and said pitifully, "Daddy, Grandma said I'm a little bastard. Am I really a little bastard? Waaah, I'm so sad, I don't want to live anymore."

Huo Nanxiao's expression turned cold, and his dark, deep gaze instantly fell on Zhou Fenglin.

"You said these words?" The cold question carried a murderous intent.

Zhou Fenglin's face was ashen, and he was extremely stubborn: "Our Luo Luo has taken care of Huo Yuan for so many years, and he doesn't even know how to be grateful. Is it really safe for Young Master Huo to keep such a person by his side? He can bite Luo Luo now, and he might even harm Wanwan in the future. Young Master Huo, don't forget the meaning of Huo Yuan's existence."

"Are you teaching me how to do things?" Huo Nanxiao narrowed his eyes dangerously.

Zhou Fenglin remained composed and neither humble nor arrogant. "I'm just reminding you that Wanwan was harmed by Xia Ningxi back then. Do you want to repeat the same mistake and let Luoluo suffer the same persecution from Xia Ningxi? This is clearly Xia Ningxi teaching Huo Yuan to talk nonsense."

Zhou Fenglin knew Huo Yuan's temperament very well; Huo Yuan would never dare to speak ill of them. He didn't have that kind of guts.

But then Xia Ningxi appeared, and everything changed. It must be Xia Ningxi stirring things up.

And Huo Yuan, that little bastard, actually listened to Xia Ningxi and went against them.

Thinking of this, Zhou Fenglin trembled with anger.

Xia Xingxing blinked at Huo Nanxiao with a wronged look on her face, as if she was about to cry.

"Daddy, Grandma said that if it weren't for them raising me, you would have thrown me away long ago. Is that true? Does Daddy really not like me? If so, I might as well die. I love Daddy very much, but I don't want to cause you any trouble."

The childish voice sounded extremely aggrieved.

Huo Nanxiao's heart was breaking. He quickly hugged the little one and gently coaxed him, "Don't listen to their nonsense."

“But Grandma doesn’t seem to be lying.” Xia Xingxing said, her eyes brimming with tears.

Huo Nanxiao's cold gaze fell on Zhou Fenglin. He said, "Since you don't know your own identity, I don't mind exposing you to your true forms."

Zhou Fenglin's face stiffened.

Xia Luoluo's face was pale: "Young Master Huo, it's all my fault, please calm down."

"The Xia family should go bankrupt." Huo Nanxiao sneered.

"Young Master Huo, please, please spare the Xia family for my sister's sake. It's all my fault. I apologize to Huo Yuan. I'm sorry, we were rude just now. Please, Young Master Huo, spare our lives." Xia Luoluo knelt down in front of Huo Nanxiao, trembling, and grabbed Huo Nanxiao's pants excitedly.

Huo Nanxiao was annoyed and kicked her away.

Xia Luoluo screamed and fell heavily to the ground.

When Zhou Fenglin saw this scene, she was completely stunned. The woman who had been so aggressive just moments before was now frozen in place!

She couldn't believe that Huo Nanxiao would actually lay a hand on Xia Luoluo for the sake of that little bastard "Huo Yuan"!

They are all Xia Wanwan's blood relatives!

What is Huo Yuan anyway?

He was merely a bastard child born of Xia Ningxi, a lowly woman, and a pawn in Xia Wanwan's rise to power.

"Huo Nanxiao, you've gone too far! Luo Luo has raised Huo Yuan for so many years, how could you treat her like this!" Zhou Fenglin shouted urgently.

"Someone, take them out." The man's voice was cold.

Lu Qi led his men forward quickly.

How could Xia Luoluo just leave like that?

Ignoring her injuries, Xia Luoluo quickly apologized, "Young Master Huo, I'm sorry. My mother is old and she didn't speak properly. It's all my fault. If you're angry, punish me. It's all my responsibility and has nothing to do with the Xia family!"

"Daddy, Auntie has already apologized, please forgive her. I've never had a mother's love since I was little, I really am a little bastard no one loves, they're right." Xia Xingxing tugged at Huo Nanxiao's sleeve, pleading for them.

But the more he spoke, the angrier Huo Nanxiao became.

The man's face was gloomy, and his aura was so cold that it almost froze people. Everyone around him felt as if they had fallen into an ice cellar in an instant.

"Drag him out."

Three simple words, yet brimming with murderous intent.

Lu Qi didn't dare to hesitate and quickly "invited" the person out.

Xia Luoluo kept begging for mercy, but it was no use.

Zhou Fenglin was completely stunned. She never dreamed that Huo Nanxiao would treat her like this for a little bastard!

By the time the mother and daughter realized something was wrong and started begging for mercy, it was too late.

They were roughly driven out by Lu Qi, and even tripped and fell on the way, looking extremely disheveled.

Xia Xingxing nestled in Huo Nanxiao's arms, watching this scene with teary eyes. If you looked closely, you could see that there was a smile in the little one's eyes.

Huo Nanxiao was holding Xia Xingxing and didn't see the smile in Xia Xingxing's eyes, but Xia Ningxi, standing opposite Xia Xingxing, could see it clearly.

The little guy noticed Xia Ningxi looking at him and secretly winked at her, looking very mischievous.

Xia Ningxi forced herself not to laugh.

To convince Huo Nanxiao, Xia Xingxing transformed into a delicate and clingy kitten, crying pitifully in Huo Nanxiao's arms for a long time. Huo Nanxiao felt sorry for her, thinking that the little one was frightened by Zhou Fenglin's words, and comforted her for a long time.

No matter how much Xia Luoluo apologized outside the Huo family's old mansion, Huo Nanxiao remained unmoved; on the contrary, he grew increasingly angry.

"Lu Qi, warn them that if they dare to make any noise that frightens A Yuan again, rip out their tongues." Huo Nanxiao suppressed his anger.

Xia Ningxi was surprised and couldn't help but glance at Huo Nanxiao a few more times.

The man exuded a chilling aura, and a burning flame of anger raged deep within his eyes; he was truly enraged for Xia Xingxing this time.

Xia Ningxi suddenly realized that Huo Nanxiao disliked her child...
