Chapter 164 Seducing Young Master Huo

This was the first time Fu Xiyu had ever met a girl with such a temper, and he wanted Huo Nanxiao to judge the situation for him.

However, Huo Nanxiao remained indifferent, not even bothering to glance at Fu Xiyu.

She's right.

Fu Xiyu laughed in exasperation: "Nan Xiao, do you really need to defend her like this? Have you forgotten that you still have Xia Wanwan at home?"

Huo Nanxiao remained silent with a gloomy face.

Fu Xiyu said, "Could it be that you really have fallen for Xia Ningxi, just like everyone says?"

"Shut up." Huo Nanxiao's aura changed.

Fu Xiyu said, "She's the first woman you've taken out in all these years."

No one would believe that Huo Nanxiao and Xia Ningxi didn't have a special relationship.

As Huo Nanxiao's good friend, Fu Xiyu also understands how important Xia Wanwan is to Huo Nanxiao.

He couldn't understand why Huo Nanxiao would fall for this woman. He had just carefully examined Xia Ningxi, and there was nothing particularly special about her.

Seeing that Huo Nanxiao did not answer, Fu Xiyu asked directly, "Are you planning to divorce Xia Wanwan?"

"My affairs are none of your business." Huo Nanxiao's aura was extremely cold.

Fu Xiyu saw that Huo Nanxiao had no intention of divorcing Xia Wanwan at all, and for a moment he couldn't figure out what Huo was thinking.

Huo Nanxiao went to greet Huo Xiuyuan, but Fu Xiyu didn't follow.

The socialites and heiresses couldn't sit still any longer and came forward to ask questions.

"Young Master Fu, has Young Master Huo fallen for Xia Ningxi?" Zhang Lina asked.

Duan Rongrong said, "She's not even that good-looking. She has no figure and no class. What does Young Master Huo see in her?"

Fu Mingyan said, "Brother, you know Huo Shao best. Could it be that he really likes Xia Ningxi?"

Fu Xiyu said, "I don't know. Alright, it's none of your business. Why worry so much?"

"Who said it has nothing to do with me? Don't you know Father just arranged a marriage for us?" Fu Mingyan still very much hoped to become Huo Nanxiao's wife.

She didn't mind that Huo Nanxiao had been married before, nor did she mind that Huo Nanxiao had a child.

She would accept anything as long as Huo Nanxiao was willing to marry her!

Fu Mingyan couldn't understand why Huo Nanxiao would fall for someone like Xia Ningxi, who seemed ordinary and had no outstanding qualities. She herself was clearly better than Xia Ningxi in every way. What did Xia Ningxi have that she could compare to?

Xia Ningxi's appearance not only aroused Fu Mingyan's dissatisfaction, but also made other daughters of prominent families jealous.

They whispered amongst themselves about who was standing next to Huo Nanxiao.

Someone recognized her: "Isn't she the mistress who's been having an affair with Young Master Huo lately?"

"I heard she's shameless. Knowing that Young Master Huo is a married man, she still seduced him. Not only that, I also heard she has a good relationship with Huo Jinchuan."

"How dare she do such a shameless thing and attend Old Master Huo's birthday banquet? Doesn't she know that Old Master Huo hates people with such bad character the most?"

Huo Xiuyuan cares a lot about his reputation, as anyone who knows even a little about the Huo family knows.

When the group of young ladies saw Xia Ningxi holding Xia Xingxing's hand, preparing to greet Huo Xiuyuan, they all secretly chuckled to themselves.

They were all smug!

Because they all knew that Huo Xiuyuan was intolerant of any imperfections!

Everyone was waiting to see Xia Ningxi make a fool of herself; they could even imagine the scene of Xia Ningxi being kicked out of the house.

They won't even need to lift a finger; Huo Xiuyuan will kick her out!

A man of Huo Xiuyuan's family traditions would never allow someone like Xia Ningxi to stand at his birthday banquet!

Everyone watched with great interest, waiting to see Xia Ningxi make a fool of herself.

However, to everyone's surprise, when Xia Ningxi greeted Huo Xiuyuan, Huo Xiuyuan showed no sign of anger. Instead, he smiled broadly, took Xia Ningxi's hand, and introduced her to Fu Yanghui:

"Ning Xi, this is your Uncle Fu. Come over and say hello to him." Huo Xiuyuan said with a kind smile.

Xia Ningxi politely greeted him, "Hello, Mr. Fu."

Fu Yanghui's lips twitched. He thought to himself, "Has Huo Xiuyuan lost his mind? Everyone in the entire capital knows that this woman is Huo Nanxiao's mistress, and Huo Xiuyuan doesn't even know how to avoid suspicion! Is he planning to just throw caution to the wind?"

Fu Yanghui suppressed his shock and forced an awkward smile: "Hello, Dr. Xia. I've heard that you are a very capable doctor. Seeing is believing."

"Mr. Fu, you flatter me. There are many doctors more skilled than me. I am just an ordinary person." Xia Ningxi dared not take credit.

Fu Yanghui said, "To be able to become the Huo family's private doctor, you must have extraordinary abilities."

"I was just lucky that A Yuan happened to like me," Xia Ningxi replied.

Fu Yanghui smiled and said to Huo Xiuyuan, "It seems that you elders are not as good as a young man."

Huo Xiuyuan said, "Huo Yuan has been without his mother since he was a child. It is Huo Yuan's blessing that Ning Xi can accompany him now."

Fu Yanghui's face darkened. He realized that Huo Xiuyuan was very satisfied with Xia Ningxi!

Doesn't Huo Xiuyuan know how awful Xia Ningxi's recent scandals are?

Doesn't he know that Xia Ningxi has been hooking up with his two sons lately?

Seeing Huo Xiuyuan's protective stance towards Xia Ningxi, Fu Yanghui felt that Huo Xiuyuan was likely being kept in the dark, so he made an excuse to send Xia Ningxi away.

After the person left, Fu Yanghui muttered, "Didn't you see the recent news?"

"You mean Nan Xiao and Ning Xi's affair?" Huo Xiuyuan asked.

Fu Yanghui said, "Yes. Didn't you see it?"

"I've looked at it, is there a problem?" Huo Xiuyuan asked in return.

Fu Yanghui said, "Do you know that Xia Ningxi is not only entangled with Nan Xiao, but also has a complicated relationship with Jin Chuan, two-timing him!"

Huo Xiuyuan said with a smile, "So this is what you're talking about. There's nothing to it at all. The main reason I'm holding this birthday banquet today is to let you all get to know Ning Xi. As for her and Jin Chuan, you don't need to worry about it at all. She's Jin Chuan's sister-in-law. Jin Chuan wouldn't be so foolish as to fall for his sister-in-law."

“Those unscrupulous media outlets outside are talking nonsense and cannot be trusted.”

Huo Xiuyuan explained very seriously.

Fu Yanghui was completely dumbfounded: "She's not even married into the family yet, and you've already given her the title of the eldest young mistress of the Huo family?"

Huo Xiuyuan said, "It's only a matter of time."

"Are you out of your mind? Even if a doctor were to take a woman with such a bad reputation into the family, you shouldn't let her in. If you really want a daughter-in-law, my Mingyan is quite good, much better than this Xia Ningxi," Fu Yanghui said.
