Chapter 517 What Have You Taken Your Eye On?

Xia Ningxi didn't know why, but she felt that Li Yancheng was gloating a little, and he seemed to really enjoy watching her make a fool of herself!

"Why do I get the feeling that you're very happy?" Xia Ningxi couldn't help but ask the question that had been bothering her.

Li Yancheng's lips curved into a smile: "Really?"

"No?" Xia Ningxi's clear eyes were filled with a sharp light, as if she could see right through the man in front of her.

Li Yancheng felt uncomfortable under Xia Ningxi's aggressive gaze. He coughed lightly, avoided Xia Ningxi's gaze, and leaned lazily against the sofa, slowly straightening his slightly disheveled collar.

"Say what you will, the one who is going to let you down is Huo Nanxiao, not me. Instead of having the time to doubt my intentions, you should think about how to get out of here unscathed."

Li Yancheng's words brought Xia Ningxi back to reality.

Indeed, all her fussing over Li Yancheng now is pointless.

The outside world is in chaos, and the Huo family has been criticized by many people because of Xia Wanwan's situation.

I heard that Huo Xiuyuan hired a lot of people to suppress these news reports, but in the end, none of them had any significant effect, and the matter only got bigger and bigger.

The Xia family became the sole beneficiary of this incident.

Presumably, Huo Nanxiao has already figured out how to take responsibility for Xia Wanwan, right?

Xia Ningxi felt a bitter taste in her mouth. She checked the time; it was getting late. Her three children were waiting for her at home, and she should go back to take care of them.

"I'm going back now," Xia Ningxi said.

Li Yancheng lazily raised his alluring eyebrows, and the corners of his sexy mouth curved into a smile: "If you go back now, you probably won't be able to get into the Huo family."

"Why?" Xia Ningxi asked, puzzled.

Li Yancheng said, "Because right now, everyone from the Xia family is with the Huo family, including Xia Wanwan. Are you going back now to challenge that woman? Their whole family is here, and Huo Nanxiao won't choose you. If you go back now, you'll only be humiliating yourself."

"How do you know everything?" Xia Ningxi couldn't help but wonder.

Li Yancheng smiled: "Want to know?"

Xia Ningxi nodded: "I want to."

Li Yancheng: "Come work for me, and you'll soon find out why."

Xia Ningxi rolled her eyes at him.

But if things are really as Li Yancheng said, there's no point in her going back now; she might even be humiliated.

Oh well, since Huo Nanxiao has already said that, he obviously doesn't care whether she lives or dies.

The three children lived at home, and naturally, they were taken care of by a housekeeper and a nanny.

Xia Ningxi chose to spend the morning in Li Yancheng.

The Xia family rushed to the Huo family's old residence immediately after receiving Huo Xiuyuan's call.

Xia Wenhe and Zhou Fenglin were both very nervous because this was the first time Huo Xiuyuan had asked to meet with them. They also knew very well that if they hadn't spread the story of Xia Wanwan saving Huo Nanxiao back then, Huo Xiuyuan wouldn't have even glanced at them.

At this moment, the couple sat on the Huo family's sofa, their spines ramrod straight, their attitude arrogant and unafraid of the Huo family's wrath. Instead, they acted as if they were the Huo family's benefactors.

The servants of the Huo family were speechless upon witnessing this scene. They thought to themselves, "How can these people be so shameless? Young Master Huo has already given them many benefits, yet they dare to stab him in the back! Now they even want to drive away the young mistress and replace her—it's utterly shameless!"

The servants all looked down on the Xia family.

"Where is Master Huo? We've been waiting here for so long, why hasn't he come out yet?"

Xia Wenhe, who had been waiting for a long time, was getting restless.

The butler said, "Please wait a moment, everyone. The master will be here shortly."

“It’s been half an hour already,” Zhou Fenglin complained sharply from the side.

The butler smiled slightly and said nothing.

The family was left standing there for an hour, and just when they were about to lose their patience, Huo Xiuyuan and Qu Huilan came downstairs.

Zhou Fenglin said, "Mr. Huo, Mrs. Huo, so you're both home. Is this how you treat your guests, making them wait for over an hour?"

Huo Xiuyuan sneered: "You deserve it for going to such lengths to make such a big fuss."

Zhou Fenglin's face stiffened.

Xia Wenhe immediately grabbed Zhou Fenglin's hand, gesturing for her to sit back down. Then, Xia Wenhe stood up himself and said very politely, "Mr. Huo, the purpose of our visit today is also to resolve this matter properly. We have also heard that this matter has had a great impact on the Huo family after it was spread, and even the Huo family's stock market has been affected. We have come here today to help you resolve this trouble."

"Is this to resolve the problem, or do you intend to forcibly send Xia Wanwan into the Huo family?" Huo Xiuyuan questioned.

Xia Wenhe looked slightly embarrassed: "It would be best if the Huo family could fulfill their promise. Moreover, Young Master Huo is in love with Wanwan. If the two of them could get married, it would be a wonderful story."

"Xia Ningxi is also your daughter. To you, whether it's Xia Ningxi or Xia Wanwan, the ending is the same. Why do you insist on breaking them up?" Huo Xiuyuan questioned.

Xia Wenhe's expression changed instantly.

Zhou Fenglin, who was standing to the side, nervously gripped the hem of his clothes.

"Why aren't you saying anything?" Huo Xiuyuan narrowed his eyes dangerously.

Xia Wenhe coughed lightly to ease his embarrassment. "Ning Xi is good, but my favorite daughter is still Wanwan. Besides, Wanwan became a vegetable because she saved Huo Nanxiao. For both reason and duty, the Huo family should take responsibility for Wanwan."

"Hmph, has the Huo family given you enough? Back then, you had nothing. Everything you have now is thanks to the Huo family's kindness. If you really want to calculate it, the Huo family may not owe you anything." Huo Xiuyuan sneered.

These words enraged Zhou Fenglin. She stood up agitatedly: "What do you mean? Is Huo Nanxiao's life only worth that little bit of money? My daughter ruined her whole life to save him! If it weren't for saving Huo Nanxiao, with my daughter's talent back then, what kind of wealthy family couldn't she have married into?"

Huo Xiuyuan said, "Xia Wanwan did save Nan Xiao, and the Huo family does not deny that. If you want money, the Huo family can give it to you, but it's impossible for you to enter the Huo family. I called you here today to repay Xia Wanwan's life-saving grace. You can name any conditions you want, as long as it's within the Huo family's capabilities and not excessive, I can satisfy you."

"Mr. Huo, you're making it sound like our Xia family is only after money. We're not that materialistic. We just want Young Master Huo to keep his promises. After all, these are things he promised back then!"

Zhou Fenglin refused to budge, even under duress.

She knew very well that only if Xia Wanwan married into the Huo family could they possess truly immense wealth.

Huo Xiuyuan would never give them this wealth.

So they don't care whether Huo Xiuyuan agrees or not, as long as Huo Nanxiao is willing to fulfill this promise.

The two sides had a very unpleasant argument because of this.

They almost got into an argument over this.

The three children in the family stayed upstairs and didn't come down, but they could hear everything the adults were saying clearly.

Chuchu stood at the bottom of the stairs and secretly watched for a while before running back to her room.

"Brother, brother, they want Daddy and Mommy to divorce!" Chu Chu said angrily.

Huo Yuan was furious: "What right do they have?"

Chu Chu said, "Because they said that the mistress saved Daddy, so Daddy has to marry the mistress."

Huo Yuan's face fell: "I've heard about this too."

Chu Chu was very upset: "Is this true? Doesn't that mean that mistress will become the brothers' new mother in the future? What will happen to our mothers?"

Xingxing said very seriously, "If Xia Wanwan really marries Daddy, then Mommy will definitely be kicked out by Daddy. If we are lucky, we might be able to leave with Mommy. If we are unlucky, Daddy will force us to stay and separate us from Mommy."

Upon hearing this, Chu Chu was on the verge of tears: "No, I don't want to be separated from Mommy, boohoo, brother, I don't want to be separated from Mommy."

Xingxing said, "If Daddy marries someone else, Mommy will definitely leave. I heard that Xia Wanwan can't have children, so she will definitely try to keep us here and raise us as her children. Daddy is so bad to Mommy now, he might really do such a thing."

Huo Yuan asked, "Then what should we do?"

The star fell into deep thought.

The three little ones were thinking of a solution when they suddenly heard a sharp, loud noise downstairs. They were all startled and rushed out the door to see what was happening.

No one knows what happened downstairs, but Huo Xiuyuan smashed everything in a fit of anger.

The Huo family's guards rushed in from outside and forcibly kicked Xia Wenhe and his wife out.

Xia Wenhe and Zhou Fenglin were furious, especially Zhou Fenglin, who yelled out in a shrill voice, saying the most offensive and offensive things imaginable.

Even after being kicked out of the Huo family, Zhou Fenglin refused to let it go. Seeing many media outlets staking out the door, she shouted, "The Huo family is utterly heartless!"

"My daughter ruined most of her life to save Huo Nanxiao, and not only did they not offer a word of thanks, they even kicked us out of the house! Is there no justice in this world?!"

"Is this how these wealthy and powerful families bully people?"

"My poor Wanwan, she's been lying in a hospital bed for six years because of Huo Nanxiao, a full six years!"

"How could they go back on their word and repay kindness with enmity..."

Zhou Fenglin seemed afraid that others wouldn't hear him, so he shouted as loudly as he could.

Many media outlets rushed over to interview people after witnessing this scene.

Zhou Fenglin didn't hold back at all, adding fuel to the fire with his words, basically saying that the Huo family was heartless and treacherous, and that they didn't care about Xia Wanwan, their savior.

When Zhou Fenglin said those words, she could make even a lie sound true.

As for those unscrupulous media outlets, they only report on this matter extensively without investigating the specific reasons. Soon, the Huo family's reputation was damaged again because of this incident.

Huo Xiuyuan was furious; this was the first time he had ever encountered such a shameless person.

"Where is the young master?" Huo Xiuyuan asked angrily.

The butler replied, "Reporting to Master, Young Master Huo has already gone to the company."

Huo Xiuyuan: "Call him back here! Now!"

In short, I was furious.

No one knew how furious Huo Xiuyuan was at that moment.

The moment Huo Nanxiao entered the house, Huo Xiuyuan picked up a water glass and threw it at him.

The surrounding servants were startled and covered their mouths, not daring to make a sound.

Huo Nanxiao moved nimbly, his tall figure flashing to avoid the cup that Huo Xiuyuan had thrown at him. He was very displeased: "What is Father doing?"

Huo Xiuyuan cursed, "What on earth have you taken a fancy to?!"

"What do you mean?" Huo Nanxiao asked.

Huo Xiuyuan said, "Are you blind? How could you fall for a woman like Xia Wanwan? Can't you see what her parents are like? Especially her mother! How good can a daughter born to a woman like that be!"
