Xia Ningxi lay in a pool of blood after a difficult labor from her two-year marriage, completely forgetting that it was the day of his wedding to someone else.
Huo Nanxiao said, "Leave th...
Chapter 700 I'm Just Bullying Others
Huo Nanxiao tried to stop him, but was stopped by the butler.
"Young Master, if you don't want Miss Wanwan to suffer, you'd better stay out of it and watch. Master is still angry right now. You don't want the stick that usually hits you to fall on Miss Wanwan, do you? Her body can't take it. One blow could kill her. If you really care about Miss Wanwan, then don't meddle in other people's business," the butler kindly advised.
To put it bluntly, Huo Xiuyuan is angry right now, and even the Emperor himself wouldn't be of any use.
If Huo Nanxiao really dares to jump out and go against Huo Xiuyuan at this time, it won't be as simple as just throwing Xia Wanwan out.
Huo Nanxiao was furious, a raging fire burning within him. He looked at his father and said, word by word, "Don't go too far!"
Huo Xiuyuan accepted the tea brought to him by the servant without changing his expression, drank it down in one gulp, and said calmly, "You should have expected this outcome since you didn't inform me of your unilateral divorce."
"My divorce from Xia Ningxi was our own decision, and it has nothing to do with Xia Wanwan," Huo Nanxiao said.
Huo Xiuyuan rubbed his tired temples and said casually, "Coincidentally, my trouble with their family has nothing to do with you."
"You're abusing your power," Huo Nanxiao said angrily.
Huo Xiuyuan sneered: "So what if I'm bullying people? Half of the capital belongs to the Huo family. Let alone bullying Xia Wanwan, even if I packed up their whole family and threw them out of the capital, who would dare to say anything against me? Unless they don't want to live in the capital anymore. And you, my patience has its limits. My son can die out there, but my grandchildren must stay in the Huo family!"
"You better think of a good way. If you can't keep Ning Xi and the children, those shady characters in the Xia family won't have a good life."
Leaving behind a final warning, Huo Xiuyuan turned and went upstairs.
Huo Nanxiao was left standing there, seething with anger but nowhere to vent it.
He knew that no matter what decision he made now, if it displeased Huo Xiuyuan, all the punishment would ultimately fall on Xia Wanwan.
Knowing that Huo Nanxiao only had eyes for Xia Wanwan, the butler kindly reminded him, "Master is in a bad mood right now. Young Master, you'd better go along with Master's wishes. Young Madam hasn't been home all day. If she doesn't see Young Madam and the children come home, Xia Wanwan's life won't be any better."
"When did they bring Xia Wanwan back today?" Huo Nanxiao asked.
The butler said, "Young Master, are you asking these questions to seek justice for Xia Wanwan? If not, there's nothing to ask. You know the Master's temper; he always means what he says. He already tolerated the fire at the Young Madam's house last time. If you continue to seek justice for Xia Wanwan in front of the Master now, who knows who will be burned to death next time?"
In this matter, apart from Huo Nanxiao, no one felt that Xia Wanwan was innocent.
She said it, but she did nothing right.
Someone like that wants to be liked by the old man? Absolutely not!
In addition, Xia Wanwan's parents are both disreputable people. In order to achieve their goals, they did not hesitate to ruin the Huo family's reputation, slander the Huo family everywhere, and force them to agree to various conditions. What kind of good people are they?
Huo Nanxiao is probably the only one who thinks Xia Wanwan is a good person.
The butler left, and the servants went about their own business. It was as if nothing had happened tonight; the huge Huo family mansion was eerily quiet.
Huo Nanxiao wanted to do something, but in the end he remained silent.
The three children are still at home and haven't come downstairs all day. It's unclear whether they know about Xia Wanwan's family being arrested. But thinking about it carefully, the fact that they haven't come downstairs means that Huo Xiuyuan doesn't want the children to know about these things.
At this moment, the three children were on the fourth floor, which was a children's playroom with many things to play with. None of the three children were asleep; they were sitting together playing games, completely unaware that someone had pushed the door open and entered.
It wasn't until Huo Nanxiao walked up to the three children that they noticed his presence.
"Daddy? When did you get back?" Huo Yuan asked, puzzled.
Xingxing glanced at Huo Nanxiao, said nothing, and continued playing the game.
Upon first noticing Xingxing's attitude, she immediately patted Huo Yuan: "Brother, let's play games, don't pay attention to him."
"Oh, okay!" Huo Yuan nodded obediently and immediately started playing his game.
The three children sat together harmoniously, while Huo Nanxiao seemed to be an outsider.
He walked over to the children, sat down, and said, "Have you been playing all day?"
"Yes, but we've already finished our homework," Xingxing replied.
Huo Nanxiao said, "Your mother just had surgery tonight and is staying at the hospital. She won't be coming back to be with you tonight."
“I know, Uncle Tang En sent me a message. They all have to stay with the patient tonight and can’t go anywhere. We’ll be good, Daddy, don’t worry. The door is in the back. Remember to close the door when you go out.” Xingxing decisively gave the order to leave, showing no intention of inviting Huo Nanxiao to stay.
Huo Yuan also obediently lowered his head and did not look at Huo Nanxiao.
The three children shared the same attitude.
Huo Nanxiao lived in this huge house, and the only people he could talk to were the three little ones. But looking at the children's attitude, Huo Nanxiao suddenly felt a bit superfluous. None of the three children were willing to talk to him.
Xingxing and Chuchu's little faces were clearly puffed up with anger, while Huo Yuan consciously stood on the side of his younger siblings.
"It seems you're not very welcoming of me," Huo Nanxiao concluded.
Xingxing didn't hold back either: "Daddy is really smart. He only sat down for a short while and he already realized we didn't welcome him. I wonder if your fiancée is as smart as Daddy."
That little mouth of hers uttered a sarcastic remark.
How could Huo Nanxiao, who was so intelligent, not understand?
"What do you want to say?" Huo Nanxiao's face turned cold.
Xingxing put down her game console and looked up at Huo Nanxiao: "Didn't Daddy already choose Xia Wanwan? Why aren't you going home to be with her so late? What are you staying home for? It can't be for us kids, can it?"
This question stumped Huo Nanxiao. He picked up the chattering Xingxing, held the little guy in his arms, and warned in a low voice, "Children shouldn't ask about adult matters."
“I didn’t mean to ask Daddy. You’re the one who’s bothering us. We’re going abroad with Mommy in a few days. Daddy doesn’t need to pretend to be a loving father anymore. Whether you’re here or not, we’re all Mommy’s children and Grandpa and Grandma’s children. You can go and be with Xia Wanwan. There’s no need to waste your time on us.”
The stars spoke the most heartless words in the most innocent voices.
He is a child, but he is a very smart child. Even if the adults don't say it, Xingxing can see through many things at a glance.
Therefore, he was calmer than anyone else, and his words were more hurtful than ever before.
He didn't intend to maintain his relationship with Huo Nanxiao. In the end, they would go their separate ways, and they would still live with their mother. Why should he give his bad father a good look?
"Get out of here, don't bother us." Xingxing gave the order to leave without any politeness, and pushed Huo Nanxiao away.
The other two children shared the same attitude as Xingxing, remaining silent and staring at Huo Nanxiao with their big eyes, as if to say: "You'd better leave, we still want to play, your presence here will disturb us."
The disdainful look in his eyes deeply hurt Huo Nanxiao.
Huo Nanxiao said with a cold face and a very serious expression, "Your mother is not home tonight, so I will take care of you."
“No need, Daddy. Your fiancée needs your comfort. If you don’t go to her now, she’ll be sad later. The three of us can take care of ourselves. If we have any problems, we’ll ask Aunt Zhang. We don’t need your help. Go back to where you came from. We won’t keep you.” Xingxing waved her hand and said goodbye to Huo Nanxiao.
Chu Chu was very obedient and made the same gesture as Xingxing.
Seeing his younger siblings' attitude, Huo Yuan couldn't help but say, "Daddy, you'd better not talk to us. We don't want to talk to you right now."
Well, the three children isolated him together.
Huo Nanxiao was angry, but when he saw these three adorable faces, he couldn't say a word.
"Go to bed at nine o'clock sharp, understand?" Huo Nanxiao asked.
With her back to Huo Nanxiao, Xingxing muttered softly, "Is Daddy this domineering towards his fiancée too?"
Huo Nanxiao felt like he had a mouthful of blood stuck in his throat, which he couldn't spit out. He was about to be driven crazy by this little guy.
Oh well, he's my own son!
They're all my biological children!
He deserves it all!
