Chapter 643 She Will Hate Me

Xia Ningxi was already mentally prepared because she could guess the content of the surveillance footage from Li Yancheng's phone call.

If it weren't for the certainty that Xia Ningxi was the one who pushed the person into the sea, Li Yancheng wouldn't have been so certain in searching for her.

After reviewing all the evidence sent by Li Yancheng, there was no doubt that everything was aimed at Xia Ningxi, with only a very small portion proving that Xia Wanwan was at fault.

Xia Ningxi doesn't remember what happened back then, but she's not someone who can't take responsibility. She can take responsibility for what she did, even if she has doubts in her heart.

But what happened back then? She can't remember it.

Huo Nanxiao's initial investigation was correct, and Li Yancheng's submitted evidence was also correct.

Xia Ningxi really should leave.

This was the ending she wanted.

Xia Ningxi glanced at Huo Nanxiao, wanting to say something, but after opening her mouth, she couldn't utter a single word.

"You stay here and take good care of her. There's nothing more for me to do here." Xia Ningxi said to Huo Nanxiao before turning and leaving.

Huo Nanxiao grasped her wrist, looking at her intently, his eyes seemingly devoid of light.

"Is there anything else?" Xia Ningxi's attitude had become much colder.

"Wait for me downstairs."

Huo Nanxiao's voice was calm.

Xia Ningxi glanced at Xia Wanwan, whose expression seemed a little unnatural, then met Huo Nanxiao's eyes and asked, "I'm afraid that's not appropriate."

"There's nothing inappropriate about it. You're not allowed to leave until I tell you to wait." Huo Nanxiao's attitude was very firm, completely disregarding what Xia Wanwan might think.

Xia Ningxi was too lazy to explain anything to Huo Nanxiao. She broke free from his hand and turned to leave.

When she opened the door, she found Xia Luoluo eavesdropping at the entrance. Startled by Xia Ningxi's sudden opening of the door, she turned to run away.

Xia Ningxi ignored it, closed the door, and went downstairs.

Silence returned to the room.

Huo Nanxiao sat opposite Xia Wanwan, looking at her somewhat haggard face, and asked, "What do you want?"

"I don't need anything, I just want to get better soon," Xia Wanwan replied.

Huo Nanxiao glanced around the room. Xia Wanwan's place was not bad. With Huo Nanxiao backing her up, her snobbish parents did not mistreat her. However, he was not at ease leaving Xia Wanwan here.

“I have a private villa in the city, why don’t you move in there?” Huo Nanxiao suggested.

Xia Wanwan looked up in surprise: "You mean you want me to move into your house?"

“I won’t live there; you’ll live alone. I’ll arrange a professional medical team and maids to take care of you, providing 24-hour care, which will greatly help your recovery,” Huo Nanxiao said.

However, Xia Wanwan rejected this suggestion.

Xia Wanwan said, "No need, I'm fine living at home alone. Besides, my family is here. No matter what, we're all family, and they'll take good care of me."

“Your parents only care about power and profit. You have no use to them, so why would they treat you well? And Xia Luoluo…” Huo Nanxiao suddenly exuded a murderous aura.

"Luo Luo is my sister. She has changed. Don't worry, I'll be fine living in my own home," Xia Wanwan assured Huo Nanxiao very seriously.

But only Xia Wanwan herself is willing to believe that; Huo Nanxiao doesn't believe that Xia Wanwan can be treated well in the Xia family.

"I will have Lu Qi pick you up tomorrow." Huo Nanxiao's attitude was very firm.

He knew that Xia Ningxi couldn't stay at the Xia family for long, and he also knew that Li Yancheng hadn't left and was just waiting to take advantage of any opportunity. So he didn't plan to exchange pleasantries with Xia Wanwan. After leaving a message, he prepared to go find Xia Ningxi.

Xia Wanwan stopped him: "Nan Xiao, just let me stay here. If I move into your house, what will outsiders think? What will Ning Xi think? You saw it yourself, she was clearly angry when she said those things. She has a child. Is she really going to get a divorce because of me?"

Huo Nanxiao said, "Since I promised you, I won't go back on my word."

“She will hate me,” Xia Wanwan said.

Huo Nanxiao smiled wryly: "You're overthinking it."

If Xia Ningxi truly hated Xia Wanwan, she wouldn't have saved her life, would she?

Leaving this marriage is perhaps what Xia Ningxi most wants to do.

She repeatedly filed for divorce, paving the way for herself time and time again, all with the aim of leaving Huo Nanxiao.

This outcome was something she had already anticipated. She was a highly qualified doctor, in high demand wherever she went. Xia Wanwan was different; this was her life.

When Huo Nanxiao came downstairs, Zhou Fenglin and Xia Wenhe were both there. The two of them came up to him very enthusiastically and were extremely respectful and polite.

But their attitude towards Xia Ningxi was inexplicably uncomfortable.

"Young Master Huo, you must be tired. Why don't you have dinner here tonight? I've specially invited a seven-star chef to make some of your favorite dishes. Please don't mind..." Xia Wenhe hurriedly tried to please him.

Huo Nanxiao said impatiently, "No need."

"Young Master Huo has come all this way, and Wanwan must really want to have dinner with you. She's not feeling well and has been cooped up at home lately, so she must be really bored. She must really want you to keep her company," Xia Wenhe asked cautiously.

Huo Nanxiao said, "If you can't take good care of her, you might as well quit your jobs. I don't believe that a whole family can't take good care of one person if they genuinely want to."

"Young Master Huo, you're wronged! Wanwan hasn't been eating or drinking for the past few days, which is beyond our control. You know her temper." Xia Wenhe hurriedly explained, frightened.

Huo Nanxiao was too lazy to listen to his nonsense. He glanced at Xia Ningxi, who was still sitting on the sofa waiting.

"Let's go back," Huo Nanxiao said.

“Okay.” Xia Ningxi followed Huo Nanxiao’s steps.

Li Yancheng saw everything, snorted coldly, and followed them out.

"What are you doing following along?" Huo Nanxiao was very displeased with him.

Li Yancheng smiled and said, "Can't you see? I'm not interested in you."

"Don't even think about her." Huo Nanxiao suppressed his anger.

Li Yancheng shrugged indifferently: "I really won't overthink things, I'm just curious how you'll deal with Xia Wanwan. After all, she's your savior. You know perfectly well what kind of person Xia Wenhe is. If Xia Wanwan loses her usefulness, her life won't be easy."

"You don't need to worry about it." Huo Nanxiao grasped Xia Ningxi's hand, got into the car, and drove away gracefully, not giving Li Yancheng a chance to speak at all.

Xia Ningxi understood all of this; Huo Nanxiao simply didn't know how to answer.

He couldn't possibly betray Xia Wanwan.

The only one who can be sacrificed is Xia Ningxi.

But she's gotten used to all of this.

She asked, "What are your plans regarding Xia Wanwan's matter?"

Huo Nanxiao glanced at Xia Ningxi and replied, "I have a private villa in the city, and I plan to bring her there for recuperation."

"That's good." Xia Ningxi looked out the window, not too surprised that Huo Nanxiao would bring up such an idea.

only……

Thinking that the children were still living in Huo Nanxiao's house, Xia Ningxi said, "Let me take the children back. It's not appropriate for them to keep living in your house."
