Chapter 367 Huo Nanxiao's Explanation

Huo Nanxiao was left standing there, all alone, looking quite pitiful.

Although Huo Xiuyuan was still angry, his anger subsided a bit when he saw Huo Nanxiao so sensibly walk to the side. He threw away the stick in his hand, sat back in his seat, and said, "Alright, everyone sit down, dinner is ready."

Xia Ningxi glanced at Huo Nanxiao, said nothing, and silently sat down in her seat.

Huo Yuan and Xingxing were both very well-behaved and obedient, sitting down quietly, but Chu Chu was nowhere to be seen.

Xia Ningxi was puzzled and looked around for Chu Chu's figure when she saw the little girl running over and picking up the stick that Huo Xiuyuan had thrown away. She then placed it next to Huo Xiuyuan, where he could easily reach it.

Xia Ningxi's lips twitched.

Huo Nanxiao also noticed Chu Chu's little action. He frowned and thought to himself, "How can this little girl be so wicked at such a young age?"

Huo Nanxiao looked at little Chu Chu with a gloomy face.

Chuchu returned to her seat, adorably swinging her two little braids, extremely happy.

Huo Xiuyuan was very pleased with Chu Chu's small gesture, and picked up a piece of meat for her with the serving chopsticks: "Here, Chu Chu, have a piece of meat."

"Thank you, Grandpa Huo," Chu Chu said cutely.

Huo Xiuyuan was even happier and put another piece of meat on the little girl's plate.

Xingxing said, "Grandpa, I want to eat pork ribs too."

Huo Yuan said, "Then I want big chicken wings."

"Alright, alright, it's all yours." Huo Xiuyuan listened to the three children's every word. He arranged whatever the three little ones wanted. The whole table was full of their favorite foods, so they ate a lot.

Xia Ningxi was in a bad mood, but for some reason, seeing Huo Nanxiao starving made her feel better. When she was in a good mood, her appetite improved, so Xia Ningxi ate a lot.

Everyone in the family, except for Huo Nanxiao, was very happy.

Aunt Zhang probably felt sorry for Huo Nanxiao and wanted to bring him some tea and snacks, but she was scared off by Huo Xiuyuan's sharp glare. Aunt Zhang could only retreat silently and dared not bring Huo Nanxiao anything more.

Huo Nanxiao didn't say anything. He picked up the magazines and newspapers on the table and glanced at them. These people really just spout nonsense. What kind of nonsense is this? They even set the wedding date for Huo Nanxiao themselves!

Even he, the person involved, was unaware of this, yet these unscrupulous people managed to arrange Huo Nanxiao's fate clearly in just a few lines of writing!

Not only was Huo Xiuyuan angry, but Huo Nanxiao was also angry.

But Huo Nanxiao knew that any explanation he made at this point would be useless.

Seeing that Huo Xiuyuan, who had finished eating and drinking, sat down opposite him, Huo Nanxiao put down the newspaper in his hand and said, "Dad."

"Finished reading?" Huo Xiuyuan's booming voice was clearly tinged with anger.

Huo Nanxiao said, "I will handle this matter."

Huo Xiuyuan sneered: "You handle it? Hmph, it's nothing more than spending some money to suppress the news and pretend nothing happened."

Huo Nanxiao said, "I can guarantee that it will not affect the Huo family's stock."

"Is it the stocks I care about! I'm concerned about Xia Wanwan herself, and what you're planning to do with her!" Huo Xiuyuan slammed his fist on the table angrily.

Huo Nanxiao said, "Her body hasn't fully recovered yet. Let's talk about it after she's fully recovered."

"Hmph, you're already threatening the position of the eldest daughter-in-law of the Huo family before you've even fully recovered. If you were to fully recover, would you be thinking of kicking out your two biological sons so you could sit back and enjoy the life of the eldest daughter-in-law of the Huo family?" Huo Xiuyuan questioned him.

Huo Nanxiao said, "Wanwan is not that kind of person. She would never do such a thing."

"It's not even close to being settled yet, and I, as the head of the family, haven't even given my consent, but the Xia family is already spreading rumors about our marriage everywhere. What kind of things are people like that incapable of doing?"

Huo Xiuyuan looked down on such people.

He had no interest in understanding what kind of person Xia Wanwan was. Huo Xiuyuan only knew that even though the two elders of the Huo family hadn't given their approval, the Xia family was already spreading the news that Xia Wanwan was going to marry into a wealthy family. What kind of child could parents like that raise?

Even if Xia Wanwan saved Huo Nanxiao back then, that's no reason for her to manipulate the Huo family at will!

Huo Xiuyuan said, "I'm too lazy to deal with your business now, but the Huo family has already been greatly affected by Zhou Fenglin's words. You warn them not to even think about climbing the social ladder."

"Okay," Huo Nanxiao agreed.

Seeing that his attitude was not bad, Huo Xiuyuan's anger gradually subsided.

Qu Huilan's kind face finally relaxed, and she smiled and said, "Nan Xiao, it's good that you can understand. After all, our Huo family is one of the most powerful and prosperous families in the capital. Even the slightest disturbance can cause great turmoil."

“I know,” Huo Nanxiao said calmly.

Qu Huilan said, "I asked the kitchen to save some food for you. You must be hungry since you haven't eaten anything all morning. Go and eat something to fill your stomach."

Huo Xiuyuan glared at her: "Why are you spoiling him? Will he die if he goes hungry for a meal? He deserves to go hungry."

Qu Huilan said, "What kind of father would not let his child eat?"

Huo Xiuyuan wanted to curse, but seeing that Huo Nanxiao had already gotten up and headed towards the restaurant, Huo Xiuyuan was too lazy to curse Huo Nanxiao anymore and took his two beloved grandsons to play in the yard.

Chu Chu sat next to Xia Ningxi the whole time, not daring to get too close to her grandparents. In fact, Chu Chu was still a little concerned about her status and deliberately kept her distance from the two elders.

Xia Ningxi could tell that Chu Chu really wanted to play with them, so she smiled and said to Chu Chu, "Go play with your brothers."

"Yay!" Chu Chu was overjoyed to receive the affirmation and quickly caught up with her two older brothers.

With all three children being cared for by their grandparents, Xia Ningxi was happy to have some free time.

The table was a mess, so Xia Ningxi tidied up all the magazines and newspapers on the table and put them aside. She then picked up the remote and changed the channel to watch the morning news.

After breakfast, Huo Nanxiao noticed that Xia Ningxi was the only one in the living room and asked, "Where are they?"

“I went to play in the back garden,” Xia Ningxi replied.

Huo Nanxiao walked over and sat down next to Xia Ningxi.

Xia Ningxi was slightly startled and immediately moved to the side.

Huo Nanxiao said, "Why are you hiding so far away? Do you think I'm going to eat you?"

Xia Ningxi couldn't help but think to herself: What if?

She ignored Huo Nanxiao and watched TV by herself.

Huo Nanxiao suddenly turned off the TV.

Xia Ningxi was slightly taken aback, then said angrily, "What are you doing?"

Huo Nanxiao gazed into Xia Ningxi's clear eyes and said very seriously, "I know nothing about this matter."

Xia Ningxi was shocked. Was Huo Nanxiao explaining something to her? Why did he need to explain?
