Chapter 715 She looks like she's been poisoned.

How could Zhou Fenglin possibly let Xia Ningxi go with him? Wouldn't that ruin their plans?

She said to Huo Nanxiao, "Young Master Huo, you know what happened after Wanwan went to the hospital. She couldn't think straight after she got home. This matter is definitely related to Xia Ningxi. It's clear that Wanwan doesn't want to see Xia Ningxi. Letting her appear by Wanwan's side at this time will definitely upset her."

Xia Luoluo chimed in, "Yes, Sister Wanwan is already very weak, and it's not suitable for her to see any guests right now."

"Is it that it's not suitable to meet, or that you're afraid to meet?" Xia Ningxi countered.

Charlotte frowned: "Why do you have to be so aggressive?"

"Heh." Xia Ningxi snorted coldly: "You were clearly in the wrong to cause trouble at my hospital first. Now that you're not getting what you want, you're trying to kill yourself. Instead of reflecting on your actions, you're shifting all the blame onto me. Since Xia Wanwan can't see guests, then she doesn't need to see Huo Nanxiao either."

After saying that, Xia Ningxi's gaze fell on Huo Nanxiao: "Now I'll give you two choices: come with me, or take me upstairs with you. If you insist on listening to them, I'll call Dad right now to complain. Anyway, he's been idle lately, so it shouldn't be a problem for him to come over in person."

"You still dare to complain to Huo Xiuyuan? Haven't you hurt us enough?" Zhou Fenglin was so angry that he jumped up and down.

Xia Ningxi scoffed: "You've just returned to where you started, haven't you?"

Zhou Fenglin's face turned green, and he pointed a trembling finger at Xia Ningxi: "Believe it or not, I'll tear your mouth apart!"

Upon hearing this, Xingxing immediately stepped in front of Xia Ningxi, her gaze icy: "You old hag, how dare you!"

Chu Chu said in a cute but fierce tone, "If you dare to hurt my mommy, I'll bite you to death."

Huo Yuan hid fearfully behind Xia Ningxi, already holding his phone watch and calling for help. He wanted to tell his grandparents everything Zhou Fenglin had said, so they would know that they were not good people.

"Alright, Mother, don't take Xia Ningxi to heart. You know what kind of person she is. She's probably just waiting to drive my sister crazy." Xia Luoluo stopped the furious Zhou Fenglin and added sourly.

Zhou Fenglin withdrew his gaze and said to Huo Nanxiao, "Young Master Huo, you should make the decision on this matter. Wanwan's condition is not good. If she gets emotionally agitated when she sees Xia Ningxi and something happens to her, I won't live either."

"She was hoping to marry my daddy, how could she possibly die so easily?" Xingxing mocked without any politeness.

Chu Chu added insult to injury: "Your whole family is counting on Xia Wanwan to climb the social ladder and bring you to prominence. Even if she dies, you'd better do everything in your power to bring her back, right?"

Zhou Fenglin choked and became mute.

Huo Nanxiao noticed that Xia Ningxi had something on her mind, and said to her, "Come with me and take a look, but don't provoke her."

"Okay," Xia Ningxi agreed.

Huo Nanxiao's gaze fell on the three children, and he noticed that Huo Yuan was constantly sending messages on his small watch. He walked over and held his hand down: "Don't tell Grandpa about what's happening here."

Huo Yuan said pitifully, "But they want to hit Mommy."

He felt wronged.

When Zhou Fenglin and Xia Luoluo saw the word "Grandpa" appear on Huo Yuan's smartwatch, they almost couldn't catch their breath.

They were all about to fight when this little brat actually hid and secretly complained to Huo Xiuyuan?

What's most infuriating is that Huo Yuan was raised by them!

Not only did they not side with them, but they even had the nerve to speak ill of them to Huo Xiuyuan. Weren't they just hoping that Huo Xiuyuan would come and teach them a lesson?

"You ungrateful little thing! We've been feeding and taking care of you all these years, and you're turning against us!" Zhou Fenglin could no longer suppress his anger.

Huo Yuan was so frightened that he hid behind Xia Ningxi, his trembling little hands tightly gripping the hem of Xia Ningxi's clothes, not daring to look at Zhou Fenglin.

Huo Nanxiao was clearly displeased.

Seeing this, Xia Luoluo apologized before Huo Nanxiao could reprimand her: "I'm sorry, Young Master Huo. My mother has a quick temper. She was just too scared. She didn't mean to frighten Ayuan. She was just afraid that Master Huo would suddenly come knocking on our door. As you know, things haven't been peaceful in the Xia family lately, and we are all very afraid of Master Huo."

As she spoke, she pinched Zhou Fenglin hard.

Even if he was slow-witted, Zhou Fenglin realized what was happening and hurriedly apologized, "I'm sorry, Young Master Huo, I spoke too hastily just now."

After saying that, she put on a kind and gentle expression and said to Huo Yuan, "Ah Yuan, I'm sorry, I was too fierce just now. Please don't take what I said to heart."

Huo Yuan didn't dare to speak, his small body curled up behind Xia Ningxi.

He was terrified of Zhou Fenglin and Xia Luoluo. From the moment he entered the Xia family, Huo Yuan became extremely sensitive and nervous. He ignored Zhou Fenglin's apology and continued to hide behind Xia Ningxi.

Xia Ningxi knew that Huo Yuan must have suffered a lot of grievances and intimidation in the past, which was why he was so afraid of this mother and daughter. Thinking of this, the light in Xia Ningxi's eyes involuntarily turned cold.

She grasped Huo Yuan's hand, increasing the pressure in her palm.

Huo Yuan looked up uneasily, his big, teary eyes looking pitiful, as if he was about to cry.

"Don't be afraid, Mommy's here, no one can bully you," Xia Ningxi comforted Huo Yuan.

The little guy nodded, and his trembling body slowly calmed down.

Xia Ningxi said to Xingxing and Chuchu, "You two protect your brother. Mommy is going upstairs to check on Xia Wanwan. I'll be down soon."

"Okay, Mommy, don't worry, I will definitely protect my brother." Xingxing raised her little hand to promise.

Chu Chu said in her childish voice, "I will protect my brother too."

Xia Ningxi smiled slightly, walked up to Zhou Fenglin, looked at her, and said nothing.

Zhou Fenglin felt uneasy under that eerie gaze, and she forced a smile: "What are you looking at?"

Snap—

A slap landed on Zhou Fenglin's face.

Xia Ningxi said, "If you can't control your mouth, be prepared to get beaten up."

After saying that, she said to Xia Luoluo, "Lead the way."

Zhou Fenglin froze on the spot, his eyes wide with disbelief.

Xia Luoluo managed a weak smile, not daring to argue with Xia Ningxi, fearing she would anger Huo Nanxiao in the end. She could only silently shut her mouth and lead the way.

Zhou Fenglin, who had been hit, covered her face and complained to Huo Nanxiao, "Young Master Huo, look what she did! I am Wanwan's mother, how could she hit me?"

Huo Nanxiao didn't even glance at Zhou Fenglin, and followed Xia Ningxi's footsteps directly.

Zhou Fenglin watched helplessly as Huo Nanxiao left, and he was completely devastated.

Seeing her expression, as if she'd swallowed a fly, Xingxing couldn't help but burst into laughter: "Haha, that's hilarious! You got hit, poor thing!"

“You, you—” Zhou Fenglin glared angrily at Xingxing.

Xingxing said, "You'd better watch your words. If you dare to say anything unpleasant, I'll tell Grandpa right away, and then you'll be in big trouble."

Chu Chu nodded: "Grandpa loves us the most, he will definitely tear that old hag's mouth apart."

Zhou Fenglin almost couldn't catch her breath; she was really going to be driven crazy by this family!

But considering that these few bastards would run up to Huo Xiuyuan and spout nonsense, and that Huo Xiuyuan happened to hate their whole family, Zhou Fenglin had no choice but to endure it!

No matter how angry she is, she can't touch them; she can't let those little beasts find something to use against her!

"You guys take good care of these three children and don't let them run around," Zhou Fenglin called over the servants.

“Yes, madam.” The maid nodded.

Zhou Fenglin then hurriedly chased after Xia Ningxi in the direction she had left.

In the observation room, Xia Wanwan lay on the bed, still on a ventilator, her face pale and extremely weak.

She was still asleep with an IV drip in her hand, unaware that someone had come in.

Seeing her like this, Huo Nanxiao felt very heavy-hearted. He scolded in a low voice, "Is this how you usually take care of her?"

Xia Luoluo explained, "My sister is usually very nice, but she has been depressed ever since she met Xia Ningxi. When we found out, she was already on the verge of death. If she hadn't been taken to the hospital in time, she probably wouldn't have survived."

Huo Nanxiao said, "Won't you stop her? Her health isn't good to begin with, why would you let her go to the hospital and cause a scene?"

His voice was terrifyingly cold, and his sharp eyes seemed to want to devour someone.

Xia Luoluo explained in a trembling voice, "I wanted to stop her, but the Xia family is about to go bankrupt, and my sister is also anxious to do her part for the family. Even if I wanted to stop her, I couldn't."

To put it bluntly, all of this was caused by Xia Ningxi.

Without Xia Ningxi, this would never have happened.

Xia Luoluo was practically pointing her finger at Xia Ningxi and cursing her.

Her ability to make veiled criticisms is getting better and better; how could Xia Ningxi not realize that Xia Luoluo was deliberately targeting her?

Xia Ningxi sneered: "I know what kind of person Xia Wanwan is. She finally woke up, and there's no way she would want to die so easily."

“Yes, my sister is such a strong person, but you have driven her to this point. I don’t know what you did to her that made someone as strong as her so desperate,” Xia Luoluo said.

Xia Ningxi ignored her and walked to the bedside. Xia Wanwan's face was not right. It was pale with a slight purple tinge, and the corners of her mouth were half purple and half black. Although her condition had improved a lot after treatment, she felt that something was wrong.

"How did she commit suicide?" Xia Ningxi asked.

Xia Luoluo said, "I don't know. When I found out, it was already like this. The doctor said she was suicidal, but I don't know the specifics."

Xia Ningxi replied, "She looks like she's been poisoned."

Zhou Fenglin, who had just walked upstairs, paused noticeably when she heard the word "poisoning." She rushed up to him and demanded, "What do you know?"

"If I remember correctly, Xia Luoluo, you have a dark history before." Xia Ningxi stared at Xia Luoluo with a serious expression.

Huo Nanxiao immediately understood what she meant. His sharp eyes fixed on Xia Luoluo, and what he did only made Xia Luoluo turn green with fright.

How could Xia Luoluo possibly admit it?
