Chapter 159 She Did Not Die

Huo Xiuyuan was convinced that Huo Nanxiao was keeping a mistress outside and deliberately using Huo Yuan as a shield. He said angrily, "If you are reluctant to kick her out, I can do it for you myself. If A Yuan has any complaints, I will explain. In short, this woman cannot stay here any longer, and she is not allowed to have any further connection with the Huo family."

"I'm afraid that won't work," Huo Nanxiao said in a deep voice.

Huo Xiuyuan was furious: "You still dare to defend her!"

He was furious with Huo Nanxiao. He stood up angrily and yelled at the butler, "Where is Xia Xixi? Tell her to come out! Nanxiao is too embarrassed to kick her out, so I will!"

The butler wiped away his cold sweat. "Master, this..."

"What are you still standing there for? Do you want to rebel too?" Huo Xiuyuan was furious.

The butler said, "Young Master Huo has his reasons for doing this. Why don't you just let him have his way?"

"His affair with a mistress has been widely publicized. If I continue to let him have his way, what will become of the Huo family's reputation?" Huo Xiuyuan asked angrily.

The butler thought to himself: Master, if you saw Xia Xixi's face, you probably wouldn't be saying these things right now.

The butler stood there, conflicted. Huo Nanxiao didn't speak, so he didn't dare to move, much less go upstairs to call for help.

Coincidentally, Xia Xingxing had already woken up and, hungry, dragged Xia Ningxi downstairs.

Huo Xiuyuan could clearly hear their conversation even from downstairs.

Upon hearing the woman's voice, Huo Xiuyuan was certain that it was indeed the woman named Xia Xixi.

He wanted to see which vixen had seduced his two sons.

But when Huo Xiuyuan saw the woman coming down from upstairs, he was so shocked that he almost lost his footing.

Huo Xiuyuan opened his eyes wide in disbelief, his finger trembling as he pointed at the woman walking gracefully downstairs.

"Who...who is she?"

Seeing that Huo Xiuyuan looked quite frightened, the butler quickly helped him up and said, "Master, this is Dr. Xia Xixi."

Huo Xiuyuan's lips twitched. What Xia Xixi? This is clearly Xia Ningxi!

She and Xia Ningxi look exactly alike!

Huo Xiuyuan was completely stunned.

The housekeeper thought to himself: I had the same expression when I first saw Dr. Xia. This Xia Xixi really does look exactly like the young mistress from back then.

However, the two have completely different personalities, and the eldest daughter-in-law has never studied medicine, let alone been a doctor.

"Master, please don't get too excited." The butler sensed that Huo Xiuyuan was so shocked that he could hardly stand.

Huo Xiuyuan tried his best to calm himself down. If it weren't for the fact that it was broad daylight, he would have thought he was seeing a ghost!

Xia Ningxi has been dead for so many years, how could she still be alive?

He had prepared all sorts of arguments to give this shameless "mistress" a good scolding, but when Huo Xiuyuan saw Xia Ningxi's face, he couldn't utter a single word!

He stared wide-eyed at the person walking down the stairs step by step; the closer she got, the clearer her face became.

This face is indeed exactly the same as Xia Ningxi's.

They're practically identical!

Huo Xiuyuan was completely devastated.

"Hello, Mr. Huo." Xia Ningxi greeted Huo Xiuyuan politely.

Huo Xiuyuan's lips twitched, and his face was covered in a fine layer of cold sweat. He suppressed his shock and asked, "You...who are you?"

"I am Xia Xixi." Xia Ningxi smiled slightly and introduced herself politely.

Huo Xiuyuan said, "You are Xia Xixi?"

“Yes.” Xia Ningxi nodded.

Huo Xiuyuan's temples throbbed.

Huo Jinchuan, who was standing to the side, took the initiative to introduce: "Father, Xixi is the girlfriend I introduced to you before. She is a very good person and is definitely not like what the outside world says. There is nothing between her and my brother. Please don't misunderstand her."

Huo Xiuyuan's face darkened instantly.

Although Xia Ningxi only changed her name, Huo Xiuyuan wasn't so blind that he couldn't tell who the woman in front of him was!

There is no way that two people in this world can look exactly alike.

The person standing in front of her was undoubtedly Xia Ningxi!

Huo Jinchuan's words successfully ignited the anger in Huo Xiuyuan's heart. He really wanted to slap Huo Jinchuan across the face. Xia Ningxi and Huo Nanxiao have nothing going on? They've even had a child together, and you call that nothing going on?

Huo Xiuyuan finally understood why Huo Nanxiao insisted on entangled with Xia Ningxi but refused to take her home.

Huo Xiuyuan suppressed his inner shock and tried to calm himself down before saying, "Ning Xi?"

Xia Ningxi frowned, unsure whether she should admit it or not.

Huo Xiuyuan was not as easily fooled as outsiders; he recognized the woman in front of him at a glance as Xia Ningxi.

"How are you still alive? You didn't die?" Huo Xiuyuan asked again.

Xia Ningxi said, "Mr. Huo, I'm fine."

Huo Xiuyuan was now completely certain that she was Xia Ningxi. He couldn't bring himself to utter a single curse.

Then Huo Xiuyuan could only angrily scold Huo Nanxiao: "What's wrong with you? Why didn't you tell the family that Ning Xi was back?"

"Why are you bringing this up?" Huo Nanxiao retorted.

Huo Xiuyuan said, "Ning Xi is the child's biological mother and the eldest daughter-in-law of the Huo family. If you had told me earlier, I wouldn't have misunderstood you!"

"She isn't anymore," Huo Nanxiao reminded him in a deep voice.

Huo Xiuyuan's face was ashen: "Even now, you still want to support Xia Wanwan to rise to power? In what way is Ning Xi inferior to her?"

"Xia Ningxi and I are not a good match," Huo Nanxiao said coldly.

Xia Ningxi stood aside, listening to the man's indifferent words without any reaction.

Huo Jinchuan, on the other hand, was surprised by Huo Nanxiao's explanation. He did not expect Huo Nanxiao to refuse so decisively.

Huo Jinchuan said, "Father, my elder brother has already said that he has nothing to do with Dr. Xia, so please stop blaming him. Xixi is my girlfriend now, and we are dating. Don't worry, she will take good care of Ayuan. As for the position of the eldest daughter-in-law of the Huo family, my elder brother wants to leave it to Xia Wanwan, so let him keep it. I don't think Xixi will care about it."

Huo Xiuyuan angrily retorted, "Nonsense! This is your sister-in-law!"

He was so angry with his two sons that he was about to die. Huo Xiuyuan, who was in a terrible state, rubbed his temples. He didn't know what he had done to deserve such an outrageous thing happening in his family.

He didn't have time to deal with Huo Jinchuan. He glared at Huo Nanxiao and said, "Let me tell you, the Huo family will not allow a person in a vegetative state to enter the house. Since A Yuan needs someone to accompany him, then let Ning Xi accompany him. You should also restrain yourself. You better explain to me clearly to the media outside that our Huo family has nothing to do with Xia Wanwan."

Then, Huo Xiuyuan said to Xia Ningxi with a smile, "Ningxi, when did you come back? Why didn't you tell your family? I almost misunderstood you."
