Xia Ningxi lay in a pool of blood after a difficult labor from her two-year marriage, completely forgetting that it was the day of his wedding to someone else.
Huo Nanxiao said, "Leave th...
Chapter 325 Young Mistress, Please Save Him
Huo Nanxiao ignored everyone's advice, and in the end, the butler had no choice but to tell Huo Xiuyuan about it.
Huo Xiuyuan rushed back to the Huo family's old house without stopping. Seeing that Huo Nanxiao had not gone to work, he walked in with a gloomy face.
"Master," the butler greeted in a low voice.
Huo Xiuyuan pushed the butler aside and questioned Huo Nanxiao, "I heard from the butler that you want a divorce?"
"Hmm," Huo Nanxiao responded indifferently.
Upon hearing this, Huo Xiuyuan's expression changed instantly, and he angrily said, "Are you crazy?"
Huo Nanxiao said, "This is between Xia Ningxi and me, and it's none of your business."
"It's not my place to interfere? Fine, you've grown wings and now you dare to talk back to your own father! I'm warning you, if you dare to get a divorce, I'll break your legs!" Huo Xiuyuan was furious.
Huo Nanxiao closed the document in his hand and said, "I said, this is my own business, don't interfere."
His attitude was very tough.
This infuriated Huo Xiuyuan, who yelled at the butler, "Bring me my stick!"
Upon hearing this, the butler frowned and immediately said to Huo Nanxiao, "Young Master Huo, the master is angry. Don't talk back to him. The young mistress is so kind and outstanding. What will happen to her if you get a divorce? What will happen to the two children? Even if you don't think about the young mistress, you should think about the two children."
Huo Xiuyuan sneered: "That bastard's conscience has long been eaten by dogs. Do you see any children in his eyes? He only has that half-dead Xia Wanwan in his eyes."
Huo Xiuyuan grew angrier the more he thought about it, and he cursed at Huo Nanxiao: "Think about it carefully, how much have you sacrificed for that woman all these years? Isn't it enough that you've supported her for so many years? The Xia family's current comfortable life is all thanks to you, what more do you want? Abandoning your wife and children for a half-dead woman, have you lost your mind!"
Huo Nanxiao said with a serious expression, "Wanwan has already woken up."
Huo Xiuyuan was stunned for a moment, then suddenly realized what was going on.
He was just wondering why Huo Nanxiao suddenly wanted a divorce, but it turns out it was because Xia Wanwan woke up!
Why did this woman have to wake up at this exact moment?
Huo Xiuyuan sneered, "Heh, so it's Xia Wanwan who's woken up. You think that just because you're divorcing Ning Xi now, I'll let Xia Wanwan into the Huo family? Let me tell you, no way!"
"If you dare to divorce Ning Xi, I'll make Xia Wanwan disappear from the capital city."
Huo Xiuyuan's voice was stern, every word filled with intense anger; he was not joking with Huo Nanxiao.
But Huo Xiuyuan's last sentence directly enraged Huo Nanxiao. He raised his head and said coldly, "You'd better not have any ideas about Xia Wanwan."
Huo Xiuyuan was furious and yelled, "You dare to talk back? If you really dare to divorce Ning Xi, I mean it! As for Xia Wanwan, I don't care if she saved you before or not, even if she did, she can forget about ever entering the Huo family!"
The father and son had a big argument about this.
Seeing Huo Xiuyuan's veins bulging with anger, Qu Huilan quickly said to Huo Nanxiao, "Nanxiao, have you been blinded by greed? What's so good about Xia Wanwan? You've done enough for her over the years, enough to repay the kindness she showed you when she saved you. If you think it's not enough, we can give her money, as much as you want."
"But you absolutely cannot get a divorce. Ayuan and Xingxing are still so young. What will happen to the two children if you get a divorce? Are you really planning to abandon them?"
Qu Huilan earnestly advised Huo Nanxiao to think things through for the sake of their two children, just as Ye Su arrived with the prepared divorce agreement.
Seeing the situation inside the Huo family, the intelligent Ye Su sensed that something was wrong.
Huo Xiuyuan's gaze also instantly fixed on Ye Su. Seeing that Ye Su was carrying a briefcase with something clearly inside, Huo Xiuyuan questioned, "What are you carrying in your bag?"
Ye Su looked somewhat embarrassed, but greeted him very politely: "Hello, Mr. Huo, this is the file the president requested."
Huo Xiuyuan said angrily, "I'm asking you what's inside!"
Ye Su's expression darkened, and she cast a questioning look at Huo Nanxiao. She didn't dare to hand Huo Nanxiao's things to anyone rashly.
But it was this look that made Huo Xiuyuan realize something was wrong. He had already guessed what was in the bag and ordered Ye Su, "Take the thing out."
“Mr. Huo, this belongs to the CEO, I cannot give it to you.” Ye Su’s attitude was firm.
Huo Xiuyuan lost his temper and roared, "Guards!"
At her command, several bodyguards rushed in and immediately approached Ye Su.
Ye Su was flustered and could only quickly hide the briefcase behind her back, but it was soon snatched away by the bodyguard.
Huo Nanxiao's eyes darkened as he tried to take the briefcase back, but he was a step too slow for Huo Xiuyuan. The briefcase landed in Huo Xiuyuan's hands, containing a thick file. Huo Xiuyuan didn't look at the contents carefully; just seeing the divorce agreement on the first page almost made him faint with anger.
His hand trembled as he pointed at Huo Nanxiao and cursed, "You actually dare to divorce me! I think you've gone too far! Men, bring me my stick! I won't believe Huo won't be satisfied until this bastard is beaten to death today!"
Huo Xiuyuan was so angry that he cursed loudly, but no one went to get his stick. He was even more annoyed and angrily rushed to grab a clothes hanger and started hitting Huo Nanxiao with it.
Everyone was terrified and their faces changed drastically. The servants rushed forward to stop them, and even Ye Su stood in front of Huo Nanxiao at the first moment. Huo Xiuyuan was even angrier and ordered the butler to drag all the people who were blocking him out and beat them up.
Huo Nanxiao said impatiently, "Have you made enough of a scene?"
Huo Xiuyuan gritted his teeth: "If you really dare to divorce your wife and marry Xia Wanwan, I'll beat you to death today. Anyway, I already have two grandsons, so whether I have a son like you or not is no longer important! Keeping you around will only drive me crazy."
Huo Nanxiao said, "I know you don't like Xia Wanwan, but she saved my life. I promised her I would marry her. I also know I'm sorry to Ning Xi, so I'm giving her half of Yunting Group's shares. She and her child can live a life of comfort for the rest of their lives."
Huo Xiuyuan said, "Do you think that's enough? Those are your two children, your son. Are you really going to abandon these two children for Xia Wanwan?"
"Ning Xi will not give me custody." Huo Nanxiao also wanted to keep the child by his side.
However, he knew very well that Xia Ningxi would not give him the two children, and that the two children preferred their mother more.
If Huo Nanxiao forces the children to stay, it will only make the two children hate him for the rest of their lives. Letting them grow up happily by Xia Ningxi's side is the best choice for them.
But for Xia Ningxi...
Huo Nanxiao felt very guilty.
He knew that doing this was unfair to Xia Ningxi, but if he didn't get a divorce, would it be fair to Xia Wanwan?
If Xia Ningxi hadn't harmed Xia Wanwan back then, how could she have been in a coma for so many years?
Huo Nanxiao owes Xia Wanwan too much; all he can give her is the title of the eldest young mistress of the Huo family.
Huo Nanxiao's attitude enraged Huo Xiuyuan, whose anger surged. Huo Xiuyuan tore up the divorce agreement and threw it at Huo Nanxiao.
Huo Nanxiao frowned, clearly displeased.
But Huo Xiuyuan ignored him completely and pointed at Ye Su instead: "You get out of here too."
Ye Su, her face pale, lowered her head and silently retreated.
Huo Nanxiao said to Huo Xiuyuan, "This is my business, you'd better not interfere."
"Your business? Fine, I'll beat you to death today." Huo Xiuyuan picked up a clothes hanger and started hitting him. Later, feeling that wasn't enough, he pulled out the broom handle and whipped Huo Nanxiao on the back.
He used a lot of force.
Huo Nanxiao did not dodge.
Seeing his tough attitude, Huo Xiuyuan became even angrier and hit him even harder.
Qu Huilan originally wanted Huo Xiuyuan to teach Huo Nanxiao a lesson, but when she saw Huo Xiuyuan whipping his back until it was covered in blood, Qu Huilan felt sorry for him and stopped Huo Xiuyuan, saying, "That's enough, stop hitting him, or he'll die."
Huo Xiuyuan shoved Qu Huilan aside and said, "It's better to kill him than to let him marry Xia Wanwan and have the whole capital laugh at our Huo family!"
Qu Huilan turned to Huo Nanxiao and said, "Nanxiao, just give in. Even for the sake of the children, this family can't fall apart. Even if Xia Wanwan saved you back then, and we owe her, the Huo family has already done more than enough for her over the years!"
Huo Xiuyuan sneered: "Don't you understand him? He doesn't like Ning Xi from the bottom of his heart. He only married Ning Xi for that woman named Xia Wanwan. Now that she's awake, this bastard divorced her without saying a word. This kind of heartless man should just be beaten to death. I'll just pretend I don't have this son!"
Huo Xiuyuan grew angrier the more he thought about it, and he used all his murderous intent to beat Huo Nanxiao until his skin was torn and bleeding.
No one could stop Huo Xiuyuan, who was burning with rage.
The housekeeper was extremely anxious when he saw that Huo Nanxiao's back was covered in blood and he didn't even try to hide. He could only rush upstairs to wake up the sleeping Xia Ningxi.
"Young Madam, something's happened! You must hurry and save Young Master Huo!" The butler knocked on the door anxiously.
This woke up Xia Ningxi and the children.
Xia Ningxi rubbed her tired eyes, opened the door, and asked, "What happened?"
The butler said, "Master is furious because he heard that Young Master Huo wants to divorce Young Madam. He beat Young Master Huo so badly that his skin is torn and bleeding. Young Madam, please go and save him."
"Huh?" Xia Ningxi was stunned. Huo Nanxiao had been beaten up?
Really?
Xia Ningxi hurriedly went out to watch the show.
The three children also ran out. The three children, one big and one small, stood on the second floor, craning their necks to watch the show. They saw that Huo Xiuyuan, who was usually kind and gentle, was now furious and was hitting Huo Nanxiao with a stick. The stick broke in one section, and the sharp edge hit Huo Nanxiao's back, tearing his clothes. Huo Nanxiao's back was covered in blood.
