Chapter 555 The Good Deeds of Your Ex-Wife

Huo Nanxiao probably did it on purpose. The moment he picked up Xia Ningxi, many people around looked over. Some recognized that the woman Huo Nanxiao was holding had come in with Li Yancheng.

"These rich people really live a wild life. Do they change girlfriends all the time? Aren't they afraid of getting diseases?" someone couldn't help but complain.

Someone with sharp eyes recognized Huo Nanxiao and said, "Isn't that the heir of the Huo family? The woman he's holding can't possibly be his fiancée, right? I heard that his fiancée is in poor health and needs to use a wheelchair."

"It's definitely not Xia Wanwan, they don't even look alike," someone retorted.

As they watched them leave, everyone began to murmur amongst themselves.

Huo Nanxiao didn't care about any of that, but Xia Ningxi felt uncomfortable hearing the gossip and chatter.

Huo Nanxiao forcibly shoved her into the car. She didn't say a word, her face was ashen and she didn't speak, her little face puffed up with anger.

Li Yancheng kept calling Xia Ningxi, but Huo Nanxiao found it annoying and simply turned off her phone.

Xia Ningxi felt that he was just meddling in other people's business!

She didn't say a word the whole way to Xia Ningxi's doorstep, her face was cold the whole time, and she didn't even accept the medicinal herbs that Huo Nanxiao had bought that day.

The indifferent attitude was as if they were looking at a stranger.

Suppressing his dissatisfaction, Huo Nanxiao said, "What he can give you, I can give you too."

"Let's get our divorce certificate as soon as possible to avoid causing trouble for each other," Xia Ningxi said coldly.

Huo Nanxiao tightened his grip on the steering wheel: "Are you in such a hurry to get a divorce because you want to be with him?"

"It has nothing to do with you anymore." Xia Ningxi didn't want to answer him.

Huo Nanxiao suppressed his anger: "If so, you can forget about getting a divorce."

"Ha, Huo Nanxiao, have you lost your mind? I'm divorcing you so you can be with Xia Wanwan all the time, and you're not even grateful, but why are you dragging me along? What good does this do you? Every day our marriage continues, Xia Wanwan will suffer. If you're a man, you shouldn't let the woman you love suffer." Xia Ningxi was furious.

"All Wanwan wants is the status of the young mistress of the Huo family. Without this status, she cannot gain a foothold in the capital city," Huo Nanxiao said in a low voice.

Xia Ningxi said, "And then? Are you trying to tell me that Xia Wanwan never intended to ruin our marriage? That she was just sick and couldn't have a good future, so she could only rely on the Huo family and on you?"

"Yes," Huo Nanxiao said in a deep voice.

Xia Ningxi sneered: "The Huo family gave her a lot of money."

"She still has to live in the capital. If she can't marry into the Huo family, countless people will point fingers at her. Someone as proud as her won't be able to survive."

Huo Nanxiao spoke slowly and deliberately about Xia Wanwan's difficulties. He cared deeply about her feelings, otherwise he wouldn't have said such things.

But Huo Nanxiao seemed to have forgotten that, besides Xia Wanwan, she would also be the subject of gossip.

As Huo Nanxiao's wife, she bore him children. Now that Huo Nanxiao has given another woman a grand engagement banquet, where does that leave her?

He only cares about outsiders pointing fingers at Xia Wanwan and making her life unbearable. Has he ever thought that Xia Ningxi might face the same fate as Xia Wanwan?

It seems that Huo Nanxiao doesn't care.

It seems that he only has eyes for Xia Wanwan.

He only cared about what outsiders thought of Xia Wanwan, but never thought about what Xia Ningxi would have to face.

These days, Xia Ningxi has been spending all her time in the hospital and laboratory. Even though she hears her colleagues criticizing her and even hurling insults at her, she can only turn a blind eye and pretend that nothing has happened, because she knows that someone has to suffer the backlash from public opinion because of this.

Huo Nanxiao was right to choose to protect Xia Wanwan. She was just the one who was abandoned, and she had no right to demand that Huo Nanxiao protect her.

Xia Ningxi suppressed the bitterness in her heart and said, "No matter what Li Yancheng is like in your eyes, at least he hasn't hurt me. Not only that, he also defends me in front of outsiders. He's done a better job than you, his husband."

"You're with him just because he's good to you?" Huo Nanxiao suppressed his anger, and when he said this, he was cold all over, so terrifying that he seemed capable of devouring people.

Xia Ningxi said, "Yes, it's because he's good to me that I chose to be with him. Is that wrong?"

“If you weren’t my wife, he wouldn’t have gone to such lengths to get close to you.” Huo Nanxiao was furious.

Xia Ningxi: "I don't care. At least compared to you, he didn't hurt me and spared me from a lot of ridicule and gossip. Compared to you, he's better."

The temperature inside the car dropped by more than ten degrees in an instant, making it feel oppressive and suffocating.

Xia Ningxi didn't want to talk to him, so she took her phone and got out of the car and left.

Huo Nanxiao watched her departing figure, his emotions a jumbled mess. He didn't know what to say, but he could feel that the distance between him and Xia Ningxi seemed to be growing further and further apart.

There was a time when he was the only one in her eyes.

But now it seems like everything has changed.

Huo Nanxiao smoked a cigarette in the car for a long, long time before leaving.

Before the morning meeting the next day, Ye Su came to report to Huo Nanxiao, and also reported on the Xia family's actions over the past few days.

"President, Xia Wenhe has recently been using your name to secure a lot of collaborations, and it's even rumored that he's using your name to apply for bank loans. That's going too far," Ye Su said.

Huo Nanxiao frowned: "The bank has released the loan?"

"Yes, the bank didn't make things too difficult for them because Xia Wanwan is your fiancée," Ye Su nodded.

Ye Su had actually anticipated this kind of thing. She couldn't help but remind her, "President, if I may add something, some people in the Xia family are insatiable. If they are not restrained, they are capable of anything. If you are not comfortable with it, then I will remind Miss Wanwan."

"No need," Huo Nanxiao refused the suggestion.

Ye Su sighed helplessly. As a subordinate, she couldn't say anything more.

However, the company's senior management expressed great dissatisfaction with this.

During the morning meeting, the senior executives pointed out that Xia Wenhe's overstepping of boundaries had clearly had a huge impact on the company. They put pressure on Huo Nanxiao and expressed strong dissatisfaction with his fiancée.

Throughout the morning meeting, Huo Nanxiao's face was gloomy, and his cold appearance seemed like he was about to devour someone.

Helian Jue sat opposite him, holding a document of data he had somehow obtained. "You're back? Look at what your beautiful ex-wife has done."

"What is it?" Huo Nanxiao asked, displeased.

Helian Jue: "She managed to win over Lin Tianxiang and get Li Yancheng into this high-status relationship. I never expected your ex-wife to be so capable."
