Chapter 521 Marrying Him in Your Place

She had no desire to get entangled with Huo Nanxiao.

She even felt that Huo Nanxiao was meddling in other people's business. Did he think that Xia Ningxi would believe him just because he pretended to care about her?

"I'm tired. I don't want to waste my breath on you right now. I'm going upstairs to rest." She unceremoniously broke free from the man's hand and left without looking back, leaving Huo Nanxiao with only a dashing back view.

Cold and resolute...

He rarely saw Xia Ningxi so ruthless.

He also knew that Xia Ningxi would never listen to him.

But Huo Nanxiao was puzzled. What exactly did Li Yancheng say to Xia Ningxi that made her trust him so much?

Could it be that incident from back then?

If that's really the case, then Huo Nanxiao can understand why Xia Ningxi and Li Yancheng are so close.

He also knew that even if he went to Li Yancheng to ask about what happened back then, Li Yancheng would not tell him the truth. He might even distort the facts and exaggerate the story. Li Yancheng was capable of doing such a thing.

Thinking of this, Huo Nanxiao had no choice but to suppress his suspicions.

The most urgent task is to resolve Xia Wanwan's matter first.

He gave Xia Wanwan a choice: marry into the Huo family or receive a compensation that would last her three lifetimes. Xia Wanwan could decide for herself which one to choose.

This choice put Xia Wanwan in a difficult position. She actually liked Huo Nanxiao and wanted to marry him, but when she thought that he didn't really want to marry her, she found it ridiculous. So she chose the latter without hesitation.

A generous compensation payment can at least guarantee that Xia Wanwan can focus on her treatment and live a comfortable life for the rest of her days.

When she told Xia Wenhe and Zhou Fenglin about it, the couple immediately flew into a rage.

Zhou Fenglin even cursed directly, "Have you lost your mind? Between ten billion and the status of the eldest daughter-in-law of the Huo family, of course you'd choose the latter! After you marry Huo Nanxiao, will you still have to worry about not having ten billion?"

Xia Wenhe also felt that Xia Wanwan was out of her mind, and said seriously, "Wanwan, Huo Shao's status is not low now. He is the richest man in the capital city. Ten billion is just pocket money to him. How can you be so stupid?"

“Father, Mother, I’ve thought it through. This money is only for medical treatment, and I think it’s enough,” Xia Wanwan replied.

Zhou Fenglin cursed with a livid face: "You became like this because you saved Huo Nanxiao. If you take the money and leave now, it's the same as handing over the position of the eldest daughter-in-law of the Huo family. I don't agree. You must marry into the Huo family. Only in this way can the Xia family truly achieve a leap in social class."

“Huo Nanxiao doesn’t care about me at all, and I don’t want to force him,” Xia Wanwan replied.

Zhou Fenglin gritted his teeth in anger: "If you don't force him, are you going to let that bitch Xia Ningxi get away with it? She climbed to the top by stepping on you back then, she's not that kind to you!"

"I..." Xia Wanwan didn't know how to answer for a moment.

Seeing this, Xia Luoluo walked over to Xia Wanwan and comforted her with great heartache: "Sister, don't blame Mother. She is thinking about your future. After all, only by marrying into the Huo family can your future be a little better. Mother is just too worried about you. Why don't you just agree to what Mother said?"

Anyway, Huo Nanxiao never said you weren't allowed to enter the Huo family. He also said that he would never refuse to fulfill any promises he made to us, as long as we asked him to. In other words, if you insist on marrying him, he won't refuse. So why don't you choose to marry him, sister?

If you were to ask who the most anxious person in this family is, it certainly wouldn't be Zhou Fenglin, but Xia Luoluo.

She didn't want Xia Wanwan to give up so easily, otherwise how could her plan be carried out?

Xia Wanwan doesn't want to marry into a wealthy family; she actually does!

"Sister, Young Master Huo definitely likes you, but he's just tied up with Xia Ningxi and those kids. If it weren't for Xia Ningxi and those kids, Young Master Huo would definitely choose you." Xia Luoluo continued to brainwash her.

However, Xia Wanwan was very clear-headed.

Xia Wanwan said, "You don't understand anything. If Nan Xiao really had feelings for me, as you say, he would never have married Xia Ningxi back then, let alone had a child with her."

"That's because Xia Ningxi schemed against Young Master Huo, and the child was an accident," Xia Luoluo explained.

Xia Wanwan smiled bitterly: "An accident? I don't think so. You don't need to persuade me anymore. My mind is made up, it's settled."

After leaving those words, Xia Wanwan turned to leave.

But Zhou Fenglin seemed to be enraged, slamming his fist on the table and shouting, "Stop right there! Where are you going!"

"Let's go back to our room and rest," Xia Wanwan replied.

Zhou Fenglin said, "You still have the mind to rest? Let me tell you, this family is not yours to call the shots! The Xia family has spent so much manpower and resources on your medical treatment over the years, which you can never repay in your lifetime. I don't care where your arrogance comes from, swallow it all. I will absolutely not allow you to ruin our family's dream of becoming a wealthy family!"

"What does Mother mean by this?" Xia Wanwan asked angrily.

Zhou Fenglin said, "I've gone to great lengths to save you all these years so that you could marry into the Huo family. Even if you die, you should die in the Huo family! Since you don't know how to make a decision, I will talk to Huo Nanxiao on your behalf."

"Don't you think things have gotten bigger enough?" Xia Wanwan was furious.

Zhou Fenglin sneered: "Yes, you're right. I want to make the entire Huo family lose face. I want everyone in the capital to know that Huo Nanxiao is a heartless ingrate who started something and then abandoned it. I want to see if the Huo family really has no shame at all!"

"Enough!" Xia Wanwan was very angry: "What you're doing will only anger the Huo family."

Zhou Fenglin scoffed: "You saved Huo Nanxiao's life. So what if you anger him? Do you think he'd repay kindness with enmity and kill the mother of his benefactor? Let me tell you, stay home and rest, get ready to get married. If you don't listen, don't blame me for disregarding our mother-daughter relationship!"

At this moment, Zhou Fenglin had completely lost her motherly demeanor and resembled an unreasonable shrew.

She wouldn't listen to a word Xia Wanwan said, and even had Xia Luoluo take her upstairs, lock her up, and not let her go anywhere.

Xia Luoluo was very obedient and immediately did as Zhou Fenglin said.

Thus, Xia Wanwan was locked in the room. She was very angry, but due to her limited mobility, she was unable to do anything to resist and could only ask Xia Luoluo for help.

"Lolo, go and talk to your mother. Our family doesn't only have the option of marrying into the Huo family."

"Sister, you should listen to Mother's advice. She's doing this for your own good. Even if you don't want to get married, Mother will never give up such a good opportunity. If you feel wronged, I can marry Young Master Huo in your place." Xia Luoluo's hand slowly covered Xia Wanwan's shoulder. Looking at the sickly woman in the mirror, her heart was full of calculation.
