Chapter 485 Who Was the Suicide Staged For?

The vast Huo family mansion fell silent instantly.

A crack appeared on Huo Nanxiao's cold face, and his entire aura changed.

The three little ones didn't notice anything unusual about Huo Nanxiao and peeked out from behind the man.

Chuchu asked in her childish voice, "Who? Who committed suicide?"

“It’s my mommy,” Huo Yuan replied.

Chu Chu: "Which mommy? Don't we only have one mommy?"

Xingxing said, "It's that mistress, Xia Wanwan."

"Oh? Xia Wanwan, I remember now, it's that shameless woman who tried to steal Huo Yuan away from us! Is she dead? Does she have any money? If she's dead, can Huo Yuan inherit her fortune? That's great, brother, I want a lollipop!"

Chu Chu was so happy she almost flew away.

The already oppressive atmosphere instantly turned strange because of the little girl's words.

Xia Wenhe's purpose in coming here was to ask the Huo family for an explanation. After all, Xia Wanwan had become like this because of Huo Nanxiao. After seeing Huo Nanxiao today, she started a hunger strike and couldn't think straight. The Huo family should give an explanation.

Xia Wenhe scolded, "Chu Chu, Wanwan is your aunt, how could you say such a thing?"

Chu Chu tilted her head and blinked her big eyes: "Brother Xingxing, who is this person?"

“He’s the cheap father who kicked Mommy out of the house,” Xingxing replied.

Chu Chu said, "That's Grandpa. Why is this Grandpa a bit annoying? Auntie died and we're going to inherit her money. Why don't we spend all that money? Are we going to take it to our graves? It must be because he doesn't like us. Brother, Grandpa doesn't like us."

Xingxing nodded: "I also think he doesn't like us. Grandpa, why don't we let Grandpa leave, or we can leave too, so we don't get in his way here."

The clever little guy made the suggestion directly to Huo Xiuyuan.

How could Huo Xiuyuan bear to let his precious grandson and granddaughter leave!

Let alone Xia Wenhe, even Huo Nanxiao, his own son, can't compare to these little darlings!

“Ahem, Mr. Xia, I understand your good intentions as a father for your daughter, but Xia Wanwan is still your daughter. She’s trying to kill herself, and as her father, you should stop her instead of coming here for help. If all else fails, you can call the police for assistance,” Huo Xiuyuan replied.

Xia Wenhe said, "The reason why Wanwan is so upset is related to the fact that the Huo family did not keep their promise."

"I haven't promised you anything, and the Huo family hasn't promised you anything either. I don't understand what you're talking about," Huo Xiuyuan denied directly.

Xia Wenhe immediately became unhappy upon hearing this: "But the Huo family previously stated that they would accept Wanwan."

"Is that so?" Huo Xiuyuan asked, looking at Huo Nanxiao.

Huo Nanxiao understood perfectly well why Xia Wenhe had come to see him. He asked, "How is Xia Wanwan doing now?"

"Yeah, yeah, is she dead? Is she dead? How much money did she have?" Chu Chu interjected inappropriately.

Xia Wenhe looked extremely embarrassed: "Nothing serious has happened, but she's very depressed right now. She's not even eating and has started a hunger strike. I'm really afraid something will happen to her, and I don't know what to do."

Before Huo Nanxiao could speak, Xingxing replied, "So she's perfectly fine. Then why did you rush over to us in such a hurry? Anyone who didn't know better would think she was really dead."

Xia Wenhe explained, "But Wanwan's health was already poor, and now these things have ruined it. She only has a few years left to live. What if she gets too upset about these things and something happens to her..."

He started crying as he spoke, tears streaming down his face, utterly heartbroken.

Xingxing stared coldly at her, "I know, you just want to steal our daddy away and leave us without a daddy, right?"

“I didn’t mean that,” Xia Wenhe immediately denied.

Xingxing: "So what do you mean? Don't you just want Daddy to divorce Mommy and marry Xia Wanwan?"

"This...this..." Xia Wenhe hesitated, unable to finish his sentence.

Xingxing snorted coldly: "You don't need to deny it. I'm not a three-year-old. I'm already four. What is that mistress pretending for at her age? If she really wanted to commit suicide, she would have jumped off the roof already. It's not your place to cry and complain here. Who are you putting on this show for?"

"How could you say such a thing? That's your dear aunt, your mommy's older sister, and your family! How can you not feel any love for her?" Xia Wenhe was furious, thinking how could such a young child say such vicious things!

Who taught Xia Xingxing this?

Xia Ningxi?

Yes, it must be Xia Ningxi. Who else could raise such a heartless and insane child?

Human life is at stake; how could he treat it as a joke and let it pass by!

"Ningxi, the child may be immature, but are you immature too? You know better than anyone why Wanwan was traumatized. Don't you have any conscience? Are you just going to watch Wanwan get hurt? How could you do this!" Xia Wenhe accused Xia Ningxi.

Xia Ningxi said, "Xia Wanwan's matter really has nothing to do with me. If she wants to commit suicide, it's none of my business, and I have no obligation to do so. I don't know what Father means by coming here today? Just say it directly, don't beat around the bush, and make things clear at once to avoid future disputes."

Xia Wenhe's face was ashen. He looked at Huo Nanxiao, then at Huo Xiuyuan. He knew that this matter had to be addressed today.

"Alright, then I'll make things clear. Wanwan became a vegetable because she was saving Huo Nanxiao. If she hadn't been in a coma back then, with her qualifications, she could have easily married into one of the four great families. She wouldn't be in such a bad situation now."

"From both a moral and logical standpoint, the Huo family shouldn't abandon her. If word gets out, won't outsiders accuse the Huo family of being ungrateful and wronged? As the richest family in the capital, holding a high position and great power, does the Huo family want to be pointed at and criticized? That wouldn't be good for you either."

Xia Wenhe paused for a moment, then continued, "What I mean is that Young Master Huo should keep his previous agreement and take responsibility for Wanwan, so that Wanwan won't become a laughing stock in the eyes of everyone in the entire Imperial City."

Huo Xiuyuan snorted coldly: "You want your precious daughter to be the eldest daughter-in-law of my Huo family? Heh, Xia Wenhe, do you think Xia Wanwan is worthy?"

Huo Xiuyuan, who already looked down on Xia Wanwan, was instantly enraged upon hearing Xia Wenhe's words!
