Chapter 158 Severing Ties

The butler knew that Huo Nanxiao did not want others to see Xia Xixi's face, so he dared not make a decision on his own.

Huo Jinchuan, who was standing to the side, also stepped in to defend Xia Ningxi: "Father, I have already explained it to you clearly. Xixi is not that kind of person."

"How dare you mention her to me? Didn't you tell me before that you found a doctor as your girlfriend? Tell me what's going on now!" Huo Xiuyuan was furious.

God knows how shocked he was when he woke up early in the morning and saw what was being reported on the news!

If he hadn't had a strong heart, he would have died of anger long ago.

He had always thought that Huo Jinchuan was a very upright person and would not do anything as outrageous as Huo Nanxiao for Xia Wanwan.

Huo Xiuyuan was very happy to learn that he had found a very famous female doctor as his girlfriend.

Who knew the truth would be like this!

Huo Xiuyuan felt a mouthful of blood welling up in his chest.

Huo Jinchuan said, "I had already told my father that my girlfriend's name is Xia Xixi, so you know that, Father."

"Yes, you did say that, but you didn't tell me that she was the woman at the Imperial City Central Hospital who had an ambiguous relationship with your brother!" Huo Xiuyuan was furious.

Huo Jinchuan said, "Father misunderstood. Xixi is just Ayuan's attending physician. She is close to my older brother only to make it easier to take care of Ayuan. There is no other meaning."

"Flies don't land on eggs without cracks. If the two of them really had no relationship, how could things have spread like this? People at the hospital have said that they often saw the two of them hugging and being ambiguous. Even if the media deliberately slandered them for sensationalism, it's impossible for all of Xia Xixi's colleagues at the hospital to smear her, right?" Huo Xiuyuan questioned.

Huo Jinchuan said, "What's impossible about that? Xi Xi became a director at such a young age, and many people are jealous of her. They can't beat Xi Xi in medical skills, so they can only smear her behind her back. To be honest, these gossipy women aren't any good either."

"Even now you're still protecting this woman? Do you really think I'm stupid?!" Huo Xiuyuan was furious.

Huo Jinchuan said, "Everything I said is true. I have no reason to lie to you. Xixi is indeed a very good girl. Father, please don't misunderstand her."

"Hmph, don't speak well of her in front of me. If she were really a good person, she wouldn't be able to live in Lanyuan." Huo Xiuyuan was furious.

Huo Jinchuan said, "Perhaps it's just for Ayuan. Our Huo family also has a private doctor living in the old house, so there's nothing strange about that, is there?"

Huo Xiuyuan said, "I see now, you just want to protect this woman, right? She cheated on you with two men, and you still have the nerve to defend her? Are you blind?!"

He was so angry that he was about to hit him.

Seeing this, the butler quickly stopped him.

"Sir, please calm down. Dr. Xia and Young Master Huo really have nothing going on."

Huo Xiuyuan was furious: "What are you still standing here for? Hurry up and call Huo Nanxiao down here!"

The butler's face stiffened, and he nodded shakily: "Okay, I'll go right away."

He hurried upstairs.

Huo Jinchuan stood downstairs, glanced at the butler's back, and a cold smile curled at the corner of his mouth.

Huo Xiuyuan was furious. If he hadn't been good-tempered, he probably would have smashed everything on the table.

He felt like he had committed some terrible sin, that such an outrageous thing had happened in his family.

The Huo family is a renowned family in the capital city for centuries. Reputation is what Huo Xiuyuan cares about most. Now, however, because of a woman, they are being ridiculed by the entire capital city. Even if this woman is a celestial being, Huo Xiuyuan will not welcome her!

He waited downstairs, his anger palpable, his eyes filled with murderous malice.

When the butler told Huo Nanxiao about the matter, Huo Nanxiao frowned.

"Young Master Huo, the master seems very angry. Would you like to have Dr. Xia come downstairs with you to explain?" the butler suggested.

Huo Nanxiao casually buttoned up his shirt, his tone languid: "No need, I'll go down in a bit, you go ahead and do your thing."

"Alright." The butler left.

Huo Nanxiao changed into a black shirt and stood in front of the mirror, looking extremely indifferent.

He turned and went downstairs.

When Huo Xiuyuan saw him walking over calmly, he couldn't hold back any longer and picked up the teacup on the table, smashing it viciously at him.

Huo Nanxiao sidestepped.

Huo Xiuyuan was furious: "You bastard, you have the nerve to hide after doing such a shameless thing!"

"What did I do?" Huo Nanxiao asked.

Huo Xiuyuan asked, "Does Xia Xixi live here with you?"

"Yes," Huo Nanxiao replied.

Enraged, Huo Xiuyuan picked up another teacup and threw it at them. "You still have the nerve to admit it? It's one thing that your scandalous affair has been all over the hospital, but you haven't even bothered to keep quiet. Now the media outside the hospital knows about it. Where do you think you're putting the Huo family's reputation?"

“She’s just A Yuan’s private doctor,” Huo Nanxiao said in a deep voice.

Huo Xiuyuan didn't believe it: "What private doctor? You think I'm stupid? You bastard."

“Father, please don’t blame my eldest brother. Xixi is really just Ayuan’s private doctor,” Huo Jinchuan advised from the side.

Huo Xiuyuan was so angry he almost hit him too. "You shut up, you brat! I haven't even bothered you yet, and you dare to defend that woman! You're a bastard too, how can you be so blind!"

Huo Jinchuan said, "Father has misunderstood. Xixi is really not that kind of person."

"Shut up."

Huo Xiuyuan was furious and almost couldn't help but slap him.

But Huo Xiuyuan didn't have time to deal with Huo Jinchuan right now. Instead, he turned his gaze to Huo Nanxiao and said angrily, "Where is that woman? Where is she?"

"A-Yuan hasn't gotten up yet. She's keeping him company while he sleeps. What does Father want with her?" Huo Nanxiao asked.

Huo Xiuyuan said, "You still dare to let her accompany Ayuan? Don't you know what this woman is thinking?"

"She will not become the eldest daughter-in-law of the Huo family." Huo Nanxiao's tone was very firm.

Huo Xiuyuan said, "You still want her to be the eldest daughter-in-law of the Huo family? I think you've gone too far. Even if I die, I won't let this kind of woman enter the Huo family. I came here today to ask you how you plan to handle this matter."

"I've already had the public relations department handle it," Huo Nanxiao said.

Huo Xiuyuan asked, "Is this all?"

"What else does Father want?" Huo Nanxiao asked.

Huo Xiuyuan said, "You two must immediately cut off all contact. I don't want to see her in the capital again."

"No way." Huo Nanxiao refused outright.

Huo Xiuyuan was furious: "You still dare to say you have nothing to do with her!"

“A-Yuan needs her. If I forcibly drive her away, A-Yuan will hold a grudge against me,” Huo Nanxiao explained.

Huo Xiuyuan didn't believe it: "Don't try to fool me with the child. Do you think I don't know what you're thinking? You just want to protect this woman, don't you!"
