Chapter 371 You're not planning to marry her?

Zhou Fenglin felt that the best thing she had ever done in her life was to give birth to such an outstanding daughter as Xia Wanwan. Because of Xia Wanwan, she could hold her head high in the circle of wealthy socialites even if she had nothing.

Zhou Fenglin knew that as long as Xia Wanwan was alive, she would definitely be able to marry into the Huo family and become the eldest young mistress, and he would definitely be able to benefit from the Huo family's influence and walk around the capital with an air of superiority.

Zhou Fenglin was very proud: "I'm so smart. If I hadn't revealed Wanwan and Huo Shao's wedding date to the media, we probably would have had to wait a while longer for the Huo family to propose marriage."

Xia Wenhe said, "You did make a mistake. If you anger the Huo family, it will be difficult for us to explain. Fortunately, the Huo family are reasonable people and did not make things difficult for us."

Zhou Fenglin said with a smile, "We are Huo Nanxiao's future father-in-law and mother-in-law. He loves Wanwan so much, how could he possibly make things difficult for us?"

Xia Wenhe thought about it carefully and realized that what he said made sense.

The couple were secretly delighted.

Soon they saw a rare Rolls-Royce driving towards the villa. Their eyes lit up and they eagerly walked over before the car had even come to a complete stop.

The car door opened, and Huo Nanxiao got out of the car.

"Young Master Huo, hello." Xia Wenhe was still very polite.

Zhou Fenglin smiled and said, "Tea and refreshments have been prepared. Please come in, Young Master Huo."

The two were incredibly enthusiastic.

Huo Nanxiao did not leave; his tall and imposing figure stood to one side, as if waiting for someone.

Zhou Fenglin was puzzled. Didn't Huo Nanxiao come alone? Was there someone else in the car? Did he bring Wanwan along too? That would be great!

This is a good opportunity to discuss the wedding arrangements!

Zhou Fenglin was just about to be happy when she saw Xia Ningxi open the car door and get out. Her expression froze instantly, her eyes widening in disbelief. She clearly hadn't expected Xia Ningxi to appear here!

"What are you doing here!" Zhou Fenglin exclaimed, somewhat agitated.

Xia Ningxi ignored Zhou Fenglin and walked to Huo Nanxiao's side.

Zhou Fenglin could hardly stand it anymore and immediately asked Huo Nanxiao, "Young Master Huo, why did Xia Ningxi come here as well?"

Huo Nanxiao said, "I brought this, do you have a problem with that?"

Zhou Fenglin's face was stiff, unsure of how to respond. However, seeing Xia Ningxi here, she couldn't feel happy at all. She could only keep a dark expression and remain silent, silently casting a glance at Xia Wenhe.

Xia Wenhe was a little suspicious of Huo Nanxiao's true intentions for coming here, but since both of them were standing at the door, Xia Wenhe was too embarrassed to ask him directly.

Inside the Xia family residence.

Xia Wenhe politely poured Huo Nanxiao a cup of tea and asked with a smile, "Young Master Huo, is there anything I can do for you today?"

Huo Nanxiao said, "You've all seen what the media has been reporting lately, right?"

Xia Wenhe glanced at Zhou Fenglin subconsciously, feigning ignorance: "What is it?"

"Didn't you tell the media that I was getting married?" Huo Nanxiao asked.

Xia Wenhe said, "I don't know anything about this. Is there such a thing?"

Huo Nanxiao's sharp gaze fell on Zhou Fenglin.

Zhou Fenglin also noticed the anger in Huo Nanxiao's eyes. She felt a little flustered, but dared not show it. She could only put on a very awkward expression: "Young Master Huo, did you come here today just for this matter?"

"Yes." Huo Nanxiao did not deny it.

Zhou Fenglin feigned innocence: "I am also completely innocent in this matter. It's just that too many people have been paying attention to the Huo family lately, and many people are talking about Wanwan's faults. I was afraid that Wanwan's reputation would be damaged, so I could only announce to the public that Wanwan will get married in the future."

After a pause, Zhou Fenglin continued, "I don't know why the media would exaggerate and make such a big deal out of it. I guess everyone in the capital is very interested in this matter. But wasn't it already decided that Young Master Huo and Wanwan would get married a long time ago?"

Zhou Fenglin asked tentatively, his eyes gleaming with a cunning mix of doubt and calculation.

She completely disregarded the fact that Huo Nanxiao had Xia Ningxi by his side, and didn't even consider that Xia Ningxi was Huo Nanxiao's lawfully wedded wife.

She mentioned Xia Wanwan in front of Xia Ningxi, the original wife, without being afraid of making Xia Ningxi angry or feeling ashamed.

Xia Ningxi's beautiful eyes flickered, but she remained silent, knowing that Zhou Fenglin didn't take her seriously at all.

She sat silently next to Huo Nanxiao without saying a word. When she saw the man's handsome face gradually turn cold, she knew that Huo Nanxiao was angry.

Huo Nanxiao was as cold and aloof as an iceberg at this moment. Sitting next to him, Xia Ningxi could feel the chill in the air.

"When did it become your place to meddle in my affairs?" Huo Nanxiao asked sternly.

Zhou Fenglin turned pale with fright.

Huo Nanxiao said coldly, "I warned you, and it seems you didn't take my words to heart. The Xia family has secured quite a bit of investment these past two days, relying on the Huo family's influence, hasn't it?"

Xia Wenhe sensed the threat and immediately said, "I'm sorry, Young Master Huo, we really didn't handle this matter well. Please don't take it to heart."

"Did you just handle it poorly?" Huo Nanxiao asked coldly.

Xia Wenhe said, "These are all malicious rumors spread by the outside media. We have never revealed Huo Shao and Wanwan's marriage, nor have we used the Huo family's influence to solicit investment. You must have misunderstood!"

"Do you want me to lay all the evidence in front of you?"

Huo Nanxiao snorted coldly.

The fact that he came here means he already knew everything.

If Zhou Fenglin hadn't gone around spreading the news that Xia Wanwan was about to marry into the Huo family, the outside world wouldn't have been so abuzz with this story.

Huo Nanxiao said, "Xia Ningxi and I are not divorced, yet you've pushed Xia Wanwan into the spotlight. What are you trying to do?"

Zhou Fenglin became anxious: "You two are not divorced?"

Huo Nanxiao said, "No."

Zhou Fenglin said, "But I heard that you two had already agreed to divorce before."

Huo Nanxiao said, "What I do with her is none of your business. If you want Xia Wanwan to recover peacefully under my care, you'd better behave yourself. I don't want to hear any more negative comments."

Zhou Fenglin gave a forced smile: "Young Master Huo, don't you plan to divorce Xia Ningxi? My daughter is going to marry into the Huo family, which you promised back then. Are you going to go back on your word now?"

“I have not made any promises to you.”

The man's voice was clear and crisp.

Zhou Fenglin stood up anxiously: "What do you mean by this? Wanwan saved your life!"

"And then?" Huo Nanxiao asked slowly.

Zhou Fenglin was stunned for half a second, then a surge of anger rose within her. She realized that Huo Nanxiao had no intention of marrying Xia Wanwan! That was why Huo Nanxiao was so resistant to this matter.

However, all of this was something Huo Nanxiao had promised back then!

Zhou Fenglin gritted his teeth, suppressing his anger, and said, "Huo Nanxiao, everyone in the capital city knows that my daughter is going to marry into the Huo family. What's wrong with me leaking the news beforehand?"
