Chapter 668 There will always be a day when the debt of gratitude runs out.

Huo Nanxiao was inexplicably irritable, and he couldn't hear anything Fu Xiyu said afterward.

During the meeting, Huo Nanxiao was extremely irritable, and many people were so angry that they just wanted to hide in the ground. They didn't know why Huo Nanxiao had such a bad temper, so they all asked Ye Su about the situation.

He simply said, "The president is in a bad mood today," and then said nothing more.

Fu Xiyu originally wanted to discuss cooperation with Huo Nanxiao, but seeing his bad temper, he said, "You're not angry because the Xia family made a big fuss, are you? If you ask me, Zhou Bingchang is your relative after all, and no one has died, so why did you have to make him like this?"

Huo Nanxiao, who was already in a bad mood, looked at him and said, "Are you saying that my child is just going to be harmed by others?"

“That’s not what I meant,” Fu Xiyu denied.

Huo Nanxiao said, "You've said so much just to protect the Xia family. It's true that Wanwan saved me, and I promised to give her the status she wants, but that doesn't mean the Xia family can do whatever they want just because of that relationship."

“Nan Xiao, as your friend, I have to say something. Since you promised to marry Xia Wanwan, you must take responsibility for everything concerning her. In the future, you must also be responsible for any entanglements Wanwan may have with other members of the Xia family. If you don’t like them and don’t maintain this relationship, instead you will make enemies with everyone, which will only make things difficult for Wanwan in the end,” Fu Xiyu couldn’t help but remind him.

Huo Nanxiao: "With me protecting her, the Xia family won't dare to make things difficult for her."

Fu Xiyu could tell that Huo Nanxiao had no intention of maintaining his relationship with the Xia family, which was actually very bad in a marriage.

Xia Wanwan is known for her filial piety and is very good to her parents and family. If she marries Huo Nanxiao, she will definitely suffer a lot of grievances.

With things in a mess outside, Huo Nanxiao had no mood to work.

Fu Xiyu booked a private room outside and invited Huo Nanxiao to come over for a get-together after he got off work. He also invited a few other friends along.

Huo Nanxiao originally didn't want to join in the fun, but since Fu Xiyu took Xia Wanwan with him, Huo Nanxiao eventually accepted Fu Xiyu's invitation.

Inside the private room.

Xia Wanwan and Xia Luoluo sat in the most conspicuous position.

Xia Luoluo seemed very well-behaved and obedient, taking care of Xia Wanwan from beginning to end, showing a considerate and meticulous demeanor. Anyone who saw this would say that the two sisters had a deep bond. No one would believe the rumors circulating outside that the sisters were at odds.

"Wanwan, this is milk that I warmed up especially for you. Try it." Fu Xiyu brought over a cup of warm milk.

Xia Wanwan was very grateful: "Thank you."

“We’ve heard about what happened to your uncle. Nan Xiao really didn’t handle this well, so don’t take it to heart,” Fu Xiyu reassured him.

Xia Wanwan said, "Let's not bring this up again."

Jin Mingxi asked curiously, "Why would Nan Xiao attack your uncle for no reason? Did something happen?"

"N-nothing," Xia Wanwan said, not daring to tell the truth.

Ji Feibai, however, asked, "I heard that Xia Ningxi's house caught fire a couple of days ago and she was almost burned to death. Could it be that your uncle set the fire?"

"No, no! Don't talk nonsense." Xia Wanwan immediately denied it.

"Oh? So it wasn't your uncle who did it? Then why is Nan Xiao punishing him? Did he steal something from Nan Xiao?" Ji Feibai asked with a curious expression.

Xia Wanwan's face turned pale, and she clenched her hands tightly without answering.

Jin Mingxi glanced at Ji Feibai and said, "Stop talking."

Although Xia Wanwan didn't explain it clearly, anyone with a brain could find out by asking someone to investigate that Xia Ningxi and her child were almost burned to death and that the Xia family was involved. Otherwise, why would Huo Nanxiao be so ruthless, knowing that the person was Xia Wanwan's own uncle?

Wasn't it because Zhou Bingchang almost killed Xia Ningxi and several children?

Xia Wanwan's character is truly questionable.

Ji Feibai thought this to himself, but he didn't dare to say it out loud. After all, so many people were watching, and Xia Wanwan was a patient, so no one was going to make things difficult for her.

So Ji Feibai called Fu Mingyan and specifically asked her to come over.

Fu Mingyan initially didn't want to come, but when she heard that Xia Wanwan was also there, she rushed over without stopping just to humiliate the two sisters.

"Oh, who are you? It's the Xia sisters. Why aren't you at the hospital watching over your arsonist uncle? What are you doing here in a place like this?" Fu Mingyan said sarcastically.

Xia Wanwan said, "Since you were invited here, Miss Fu, why are you being so aggressive?"

Fu Mingyan said, "If your family hadn't done something shameful, people wouldn't have had a chance to say anything bad about you."

"My uncle and Nan Xiao will handle their own affairs. If Miss Fu has any complaints, she can wait for Nan Xiao to come and discuss them with him personally. There's no need to waste your breath on me." Xia Wanwan's clear voice was tinged with displeasure, clearly indicating that she disliked Fu Mingyan.

Similarly, Fu Mingyan didn't like her either.

Fu Mingyan sneered: "Brother Nan Xiao will naturally not hold it against you because you saved him, but your arsonist uncle would do such a thing. There must be someone stirring things up behind the scenes. You dreamed of marrying Brother Nan Xiao, but when you found out you couldn't, you thought of getting rid of the stumbling block. And you call yourself the number one socialite? It's ridiculous."

Xia Wanwan's face grew increasingly grim.

"Enough, shut your mouth," Fu Xiyu warned Fu Mingyan.

Fu Mingyan rolled her eyes at him and walked angrily to Ji Feibai's side.

Ji Feibai handed her an iced cocktail and said in a low voice, "Your brother is very protective of Xia Wanwan now, so don't say a word in front of him."

"That white lotus flower did something shameful and doesn't want people to talk about it?" Fu Mingyan sneered, and as she said this, she didn't forget to glare fiercely at Xia Wanwan.

Already feeling extremely irritable, Xia Wanwan felt a little breathless and said to Xia Luoluo, "Take me to the restroom."

"Okay, sister." Xia Luoluo was obedient and pushed the wheelchair to take her to the restroom.

After closing the door, Xia Luoluo immediately began to mock: "See? Even Fu Mingyan dares to take advantage of you. Sister, if you can't truly become the eldest daughter-in-law of the Huo family, not many people will take you seriously."

"And then?" Xia Wanwan asked back.

Xia Luoluo said, "If I were you, I would secure this position. Then who would dare to disrespect you? Even if that person is a young lady from the Fu family, they would have to shut their stinking mouths for Huo Nanxiao's sake."

"You want to marry Huo Nanxiao, don't you?" Xia Wanwan knew perfectly well what was going on.

Xia Luoluo made no attempt to hide her thoughts: "I do want to marry Huo Nanxiao and become the high and mighty eldest daughter-in-law of the Huo family, but I also know that Huo Nanxiao doesn't like me and won't let me sit in that position. So I've thought it through. If I can't have him, then so be it. But you're different. Do you really have the heart to be trampled underfoot for the rest of your life?"

"Even a life-saving grace will eventually run out of use. Besides, my sister can't even remember what she did back then. Do you really think you're Huo Nanxiao's savior?"

A single question sent Xia Wanwan's emotions into a state of extreme turmoil.

Perhaps she should consider whether she should put all her eggs in one basket with Huo Nanxiao.

But if she were to do that, she would have to get Xia Ningxi to leave. Only if Xia Ningxi and the child left the capital would she have a chance to win Huo Nanxiao back.

But does Huo Nanxiao still have feelings for her? Xia Wanwan herself doesn't know.
