Chapter 536 Embarrassing Huo Nanxiao

Such a big engagement banquet, but the groom's parents didn't come. Their attitude should be very clear. Anyone can see that there's something fishy going on.

Xia Wanwan was caught in the eye of the storm, criticized by everyone. Her face flushed red, and she was so ashamed and indignant that she couldn't speak. For a moment, she didn't know how to face the situation.

It was Xia Luoluo who stood up to defend Xia Wanwan at this moment: "If you don't understand anything, don't talk nonsense."

"Don't you know whether it's nonsense or not?" Fu Mingyan said sarcastically.

Xia Luoluo said, "This is between Young Master Huo and my sister. What does it have to do with you?"

“I just can’t stand seeing you bully Xia Ningxi,” Fu Mingyan replied.

Xia Luoluo sneered: "When did you two become so close? Besides, Xia Ningxi hasn't said anything, so what right do you, an outsider, have to interfere?"

After scolding Fu Mingyan, she immediately comforted Xia Wanwan: "Sister, don't overthink it."

Xia Wanwan's face was already deathly pale, but she still pretended to be strong and calm, forcing out a smile.

Ignoring Fu Mingyan and the whispers of others, Xia Wanwan said to Xia Ningxi, "I'm glad you came. But when did you get together with Li Yancheng? I've never heard of this before."

“There are many things you haven’t heard of. Do you expect me to explain them to you one by one?” Xia Ningxi said calmly. After answering Xia Wanwan’s question, she didn’t even glance at Huo Nanxiao and said directly to Li Yancheng, “Find a place to rest.”

“Okay.” Li Yancheng readily agreed.

He was almost completely obedient to Xia Ningxi, as if the two had known each other for a long time; otherwise, they wouldn't have been so in sync.

Huo Nanxiao watched the two figures disappear into the distance, a flash of anger burning in his deep eyes.

His cold face was gloomy and looked terrifying. The guests around him dared not say anything, nor did they dare to talk about Xia Wanwan's faults in front of Huo Nanxiao.

But it's obvious to everyone that Xia Wanwan is not welcomed by the Huo family. Even though she is engaged, she has not received the blessings of the Huo family elders. Can such a woman really sit in the position of the eldest daughter-in-law of the Huo family in the future?

In fact, nothing is certain.

Because of Xia Ningxi's appearance, Xia Wanwan felt as if her veil of shame had been lifted, leaving her in an extremely embarrassing situation.

Zhou Fenglin and Xia Wenhe were no longer laughing. They had been smugly showing off that their precious daughter had married into a wealthy family, but now they didn't dare to utter a sound. They felt utterly ashamed.

But this engagement party was clearly meant to make their family stand out from the crowd!

In the end, because of Xia Ningxi's appearance, everyone's reputation was ruined and they were pointed at and gossiped about!

This family thoroughly hated Xia Ningxi; their eyes were filled with fierce hatred as if they wished they could tear Xia Ningxi to pieces.

At the engagement party, neither the main characters nor their families were happy; everyone looked like they'd swallowed a bomb.

Li Yancheng was quite satisfied with the result; the more unhappy Huo Nanxiao was, the happier he became.

If it were anyone else, they would have run away long ago after causing a scene at Huo Nanxiao's engagement party, but Li Yancheng didn't. Not only did he not leave, he deliberately found the most conspicuous place to sit down.

Jin Mingxi and Ji Feibai exchanged a glance, both feeling somewhat annoyed, because Li Yancheng had brought Xia Ningxi to sit opposite them, in a spot that was originally meant for Huo Nanxiao and Xia Wanwan.

These two are quite nice; they sat down as soon as they arrived.

"Dr. Xia, it's been a long time." Jin Mingxi said politely.

Ji Feibai then started gossiping: "You two are deliberately causing trouble to embarrass Nan Xiao, aren't you?"

“I brought my female companion to his engagement party to give him face,” Li Yancheng sneered.

Ji Feibai said, "Then you really have a lot of influence."

"You don't welcome me?" Xia Ningxi suddenly asked.

Ji Feibai immediately explained, "No, no!"

"Then why are you so upset?" Xia Ningxi said.

Ji Feibai was embarrassed: "I'm just wondering why you were getting along so well with Nan Xiao before, how come you're suddenly hanging out with Li Yancheng? Let me tell you, he's no good."

"Does that mean Huo Nanxiao is allowed to get engaged to someone else, but I'm not allowed to make friends? As for whether Li Yancheng is good or bad, I'll make my own decision, but thank you for reminding me anyway."

Xia Ningxi smiled slightly and did not offer any further explanation on the matter.

But her casual remark silenced everyone.

Jin Mingxi felt that Huo Nanxiao was in danger!

Ji Feibai thought to himself: Well, it's one thing that Huo Nanxiao can't keep his wife, but he'll probably have his child taken away by Li Yancheng too.

Helian Jue glanced at Li Yancheng and then at Xia Ningxi, without saying a word.

An Yao, on the other hand, was very happy and tremblingly handed her a small pastry.

Xia Ningxi was very surprised when she saw An Yao, and her eyes suddenly became complicated.

"It's delicious, try some," An Yao said softly.

Xia Ningxi took a bite and found it really delicious. She smiled and said, "Very good."

Helian Jue stared coldly at the two of them: "You two seem to know each other quite well."

"Didn't we meet last time?" Xia Ningxi questioned Helian Jue.

Helian Jue snorted coldly: "I haven't even asked you for an explanation for what happened last time, and you have the nerve to come right up to me."

"What happened last time?" Xia Ningxi denied it, pretending to be clueless.

Helian Jue's anger was about to erupt.

Just then, Li Yancheng took a glass of red wine from the waiter, placed it on the table, and smiled slightly: "She's mine now."

The implication is that Helian Jue cannot touch Xia Ningxi.

Helian Jue sneered: "When did you two start hooking up?"

"Even Huo Nanxiao doesn't care about this as much as you do," Li Yancheng said sarcastically.

Helian Jue's eyes were cold, and he was quite angry.

Li Yancheng didn't care whether others were angry or not. He brought Xia Ningxi drinks and fruit. It was a very simple gesture, but for some reason, it made people feel that the two of them were showing affection.

Huo Nanxiao was not far away, watching all of this with a cold eye.

Xia Wanwan, who was standing next to him, could clearly sense that he was angry, and very angry.

After entertaining the guests, Xia Wanwan took Huo Nanxiao's hand and whispered, "Li Yancheng did it on purpose."

"I know."

Huo Nanxiao knew perfectly well what Li Yancheng was planning.

The more affectionate he and Xia Ningxi appeared, the gloomier Huo Nanxiao's face became, even turning somewhat green!

Huo Nanxiao's gloomy face was as dark as if a typhoon had passed through, and a layer of ice had already formed deep in his unfathomable eyes. He walked straight toward Xia Ningxi.

It was menacing and somewhat frightening!
