Chapter 409 Asura Scene

Xia Luoluo watched as Xia Wanwan took the medicine she had changed, a ruthless glint flashing in her eyes. She said, "My sister just got back, so I won't disturb her rest."

"Wait a minute," Xia Wanwan called out to her.

Xia Luoluo asked with a smile, "Is there anything else, sister?"

Xia Wanwan said, "Why are you only telling me these things now?"

"Young Master Huo doesn't want my sister to know about this, so he forbids us from telling anyone," Xia Luoluo explained.

Xia Wanwan frowned and said, "I feel like something's not right."

Xia Luoluo was startled and quickly explained, "What do you mean, sister?"

"I feel that Nan Xiao's attitude towards Ning Xi is very different. Maybe I'm overthinking it." Xia Wanwan shook her head and didn't continue.

She was an extremely sensitive person and always felt that Huo Nanxiao treated Xia Ningxi very differently. That night, they were even wearing matching pajamas, which was something that not everyone could do.

If Huo Nanxiao truly had no feelings for Xia Ningxi, he wouldn't have done this; Xia Wanwan understands him.

However, Huo Nanxiao had no intention of telling her anything.

Even if she asked him in person, Huo Nanxiao only said one thing: "Take good care of yourself."

Thinking of this, Xia Wanwan felt an indescribable sadness in her heart.

Rather than feeling sad, she felt heartbroken, because Huo Nanxiao had never treated her so coldly before.

Perhaps time really does change a person...

Xia Wanwan locked herself in her room and slept for a whole day.

Zhou Fenglin happily sent invitations to the major wealthy families in the capital, and hosted a banquet at the Xia family home, inviting many socialites to attend in celebration of Xia Wanwan's discharge from the hospital.

The various families who received the invitations were speechless, never expecting Zhou Fenglin to be so shameless.

The Fu family.

Fu Mingyan threw the invitation into the trash can.

"What kind of person dares to send an invitation to our house? Xia Wanwan really has a big shot. Does she even deserve it?" Fu Mingyan cursed.

Fu Xue said, "Sister, Xia Wanwan is the eldest daughter-in-law of the Huo family. We can't afford to offend her."

Fu Mingyan scoffed, "It's not even close to being settled yet, but she's already putting on airs. She's been sick for so many years, old and crippled. Do you think the Huo family would want her?"

"Pick it up."

No sooner had Fu Mingyan finished speaking her sarcastic and harsh words than a reprimand came from above.

Fu Xiyu was looking at her with a serious expression.

"Brother, didn't you go to the company today?" Fu Mingyan asked, somewhat shocked.

Fu Xiyu warned, "I'll count to three."

Startled, Fu Mingyan quickly picked up the invitation she had thrown into the trash can, her face full of displeasure: "It's just an invitation, why is my brother so concerned about it?"

“The fact that the Xia family sent an invitation shows that they value the Fu family. Don’t think that just because you’re the eldest daughter of the Fu family you can look down on them. Xia Wanwan’s knowledge and manners are far superior to yours. You should learn from her and not embarrass the Fu family.”

Fu Xiyu gave a stern lecture.

Fu Mingyan's face turned pale. "I know I was wrong."

Fu Xiyu picked up the invitation and turned to leave.

Almost simultaneously, all the powerful families in the capital city received invitations from the Xia family.

Many people didn't take Xia Wanwan seriously at all, and they looked down on Zhou Fenglin's shameless behavior, but whenever they thought of Huo Nanxiao, they had no choice but to accept the invitation.

You can offend Xia Wanwan, but you absolutely cannot afford to offend Huo Nanxiao!

Xia Ningxi also received an invitation, which surprised her.

Xia Wanwan's physical condition should be suitable for rest and recuperation, so why hold such a grand banquet?

"Has Nan Xiao returned?" Xia Ningxi asked the housekeeper.

The butler said, "Young Master Huo is back; he should be in his study right now."

Xia Ningxi took the two invitations upstairs and pushed open the door. Huo Nanxiao was sitting in front of the big screen having a video conference. When he saw Xia Ningxi come in, he immediately switched the page, hurriedly said a few words, and then hung up the remote conference.

"What are you holding in your hand?" Huo Nanxiao noticed something in her hand.

Xia Ningxi said, "Invitation: There will be a banquet held at the Xia Family Manor in three days, specifically for Xia Wanwan."

She placed the invitation on the table.

Huo Nanxiao's cold eyes instantly lost their color: "Where did you come from?"

He was clearly angry.

Xia Ningxi said, "The Xia family sent someone to deliver it personally."

Huo Nanxiao frowned and dialed the Xia family's number, but no one answered!

Huo Nanxiao prepared to make a second call.

Xia Ningxi said sourly, "Who are you calling?"

"The Xia family," Huo Nanxiao replied.

Xia Ningxi said, "The invitations have already been sent to the homes of all the wealthy families in the capital. The one you received is the last one. At this point, it's impossible to get the Xia family to cancel the banquet."

Huo Nanxiao's handsome face instantly darkened.

"I've left the things here for you. You can do whatever you want with them." Xia Ningxi left the invitation behind.

Huo Nanxiao did not try to stop her. After Xia Ningxi left, Huo Nanxiao called Xia Wanwan to inquire about the banquet. He learned that Xia Wanwan had tacitly approved it, so Huo Nanxiao did not say anything more.

Xia Wanwan, as the top socialite in the capital, was already a household name six years ago. However, with the passage of time and her disappearance over the years, no one has any impression of her anymore.

All I remember is that this woman was the eldest daughter-in-law of the Huo family.

They were all eager to know who was so lucky to marry into the Huo family.

So this seemingly unremarkable banquet attracted a great many people.

There were so many people that the Xia family home could barely accommodate them all.

Xia Wenhe quickly booked a large area of ​​the surrounding park to expand the space and prevent it from feeling too crowded.

The Xia family was filled with distinguished guests, creating a lively atmosphere.

Zhou Fenglin stood excitedly in front of the floor-to-ceiling window on the second floor of the villa, watching Xia Wenhe entertain the guests, and was overjoyed.

"Three of the four great families have come. Wanwan, you're really something! When have we ever been so prestigious? Tomorrow, the front pages of every newspaper in the capital will probably be filled with our family's news!"

Xia Wanwan asked, "Hasn't Nan Xiao arrived yet?"

Zhou Fenglin said, "Don't worry, everyone else might not come, but Huo Nanxiao definitely won't."

After saying that, Zhou Fenglin didn't forget to lecture Xia Luoluo: "Luoluo, did you see your sister's pomp and circumstance? You can't just marry any man who's not respectable in the future. At the very least, you have to find a prince from a top-tier wealthy family. Look at these guests outside. They usually don't even glance at our family."

"You must learn from your sister and not embarrass yourself in front of everyone like you did at the Fu family before!"

Zhou Fenglin's tone was clearly reproachful.

Charlotte tried to keep smiling: "I understand."

"I'll take your sister to change her clothes first. You go downstairs now to greet the guests."

After giving an order, Zhou Fenglin happily pushed Xia Wanwan away.

The moment the door closed, Xia Luoluo's smile vanished completely. She looked out the window at the people she could never even speak to on ordinary days, and felt a pang of jealousy.

"Why! After all these years, why is it that Xia Wanwan can have everything as soon as she wakes up, while I can only be her supporting character!"

"I've worked so hard all these years, not to benefit others. All this honor originally belonged to me!"

Charlotte's eyes were filled with intense hatred, her unbalanced heart consumed by the flames of jealousy.

Downstairs, the VIPs are here now.

A black Bugatti Veyron drove up from a distance, its license plate instantly drawing everyone's attention.

“That’s the Huo family’s car,” someone recognized it.

Xia Wenhe was very excited and quickly stepped forward to greet him.

Huo Nanxiao simply gave a polite greeting and walked right past Xia Wenhe.

The other guests were very excited to see Xia Wanwan and rushed forward to try to talk to Huo Nanxiao.

Xia Wenhe wasn't going to give them that chance, and hurriedly said, "Young Master Huo, Wanwan is on the second floor, you can just go up there."

"Okay." Huo Nanxiao went upstairs directly.

The other guests were very disappointed.

"Young Master Huo is leaving already?"

"I'd also like to discuss cooperation with him."

"Sigh, I don't even know if I'll have a chance."

The male guests lamented that they hadn't been able to speak with Huo Nanxiao, while the socialites and heiresses were jealous of Xia Wanwan.

Fu Mingyan stomped her feet in anger: "Brother Nan Xiao just walked right past me without even glancing at me!"

Duan Rongrong said, "Why should Young Master Huo look at you?"

Fu Mingyan was furious: "What's so good about Xia Wanwan? She's an old woman, what's so good about her?"

Zhang Lina mocked her: "Xia Wanwan is the number one socialite in our capital city, much more impressive than Miss Fu. Young Master Huo likes her, not you, so why should he look at you?"

Fu Mingyan glared at Zhang Lina: "Shut up!"

Zhang Lina smiled smugly: "I'm just telling the truth, don't take it to heart."

Fu Mingyan was even angrier and said coquettishly, "Ha, what first socialite? I'll see today just how pretty she really is!"

Zhang Lina said, "No matter what Xia Wanwan looks like, she is the future daughter-in-law handpicked by the Huo family, the future eldest daughter-in-law of the Huo family. This is something you can never compare to in your entire life."

Fu Mingyan was so angry that she gritted her teeth and disliked Xia Wanwan even more. She angrily returned to Fu Xiyu's side and sat down next to this group of young masters from aristocratic families.

Ji Feibai joked, "Who made you angry?"

"It's not Xia... never mind, let's not talk about it." Fu Mingyan swallowed back the words she was about to say, afraid that Fu Xiyu would get angry.

Ji Feibai asked, "Has Nan Xiao arrived? I've been sitting here for half an hour and haven't seen him. Could it be that he's not coming?"

Fu Xiyu said, "Impossible, he will definitely come."

“That’s true. Nan Xiao cares so much about Wanwan, there’s no way he wouldn’t come. But I’m curious, will the Xia family invite Xia Ningxi as well?” Ji Feibai couldn’t help but ask.

Everyone present exchanged glances.

If Xia Ningxi really comes to this occasion, things could get complicated!

They all knew that Xia Ningxi had given birth to two sons for Huo Nanxiao.

If Xia Wanwan really meets Xia Ningxi in this kind of situation, and Xia Ningxi brings two miniature versions of Huo Nanxiao with her, it will be a scene of carnage.
