Chapter 724 She's Back for Revenge

Xia Ningxi had worked in several hospitals in the capital and knew many people.

A former colleague discovered that Zhou Fenglin and Xia Luoluo had been beaten and hospitalized, and specifically told Xia Ningxi about it. She was a little surprised at the time, but then she thought about it and felt that it was nothing.

This family has always been driven by profit. Xia Wenhe had been working hard for so long, and when he learned that his wife and daughter had done such a despicable thing and had been caught red-handed by Huo Nanxiao, how could he not be angry?

He was probably angry only because the two of them messed things up. If Xia Luoluo had successfully conceived Huo Nanxiao's child, Xia Wenhe would probably have been so happy that he would have set off firecrackers for three days and three nights.

Xia Ningxi closed the chat app on her phone, looked up, and was met with Huo Nanxiao's cold face.

After leaving the Xia family, he took himself back to Yunting Group and started working, leaving Xia Ningxi to wait on the side.

She tried to leave several times, but Huo Nanxiao stopped her each time. In the end, Xia Ningxi gave up and obediently waited for Huo Nanxiao to get off work.

She was a little tired and curled up on the sofa.

Ye Su prepared fruit and refreshments for her, and asked with a smile, "Would the young mistress like some coffee?"

"No need, thank you." Xia Ningxi shook her head.

Ye Su: "Okay, if you need anything, please let me know immediately."

"I'm already divorced from him, you don't need to address me like that," Xia Ningxi reminded her. Her status is different now than before, and if she still clings to the title of the young mistress of the Huo family, someone will probably be unhappy.

She stole a glance at Huo Nanxiao, and sure enough, he was staring at her, looking rather unhappy. Xia Ningxi thought to herself: See? I was right.

Ye Su, however, failed to grasp this point and said with a smile, "In my heart, the young mistress will always be the mistress of the group, regardless of whether you are divorced or not."

Xia Ningxi felt awkward and smiled sheepishly. She thought to herself, how could Ye Su have been Huo Nanxiao's chief secretary for so many years? Her emotional intelligence is truly extraordinary. She must know that Huo Xiuyuan only cares about her as his daughter-in-law, which is why she dares to be so unscrupulous.

Xia Ningxi stopped dwelling on it. It was just a form of address; Ye Su could say whatever she wanted, as long as Huo Nanxiao could accept it.

She ate fruit quietly and watched TV.

When someone comes to Huo Nanxiao's office for a meeting, she will consciously turn down the TV volume so as not to disturb everyone's work.

The company staff were used to seeing Xia Ningxi. Anyone who had read the news knew that this woman was the mistress of the group. Who would dare to provoke Xia Ningxi? They all had to be respectful, even though Xia Ningxi was divorced.

Everyone greeted Xia Ningxi whether they were entering or leaving. Xia Ningxi herself felt tired, and after everyone left, she looked at Huo Nanxiao with a resentful expression: "When are you going to finish? I want to go back to the hospital."

"Six o'clock in the afternoon, two hours to go," Huo Nanxiao replied.

Xia Ningxi said, "I can go back by myself, so you don't need to take me."

Huo Nanxiao: "I asked Tang En, and he said you don't have anything to do this afternoon. Even if you go to the hospital, you won't have anything to do, so you might as well stay here."

"Huo Nanxiao, I know what Xia Wanwan did upset you, but you can't drag me along just because you're upset, can you? I have a lot of things to do too." Xia Ningxi said seriously.

She felt that Huo Nanxiao only kept her behind because he had been mistreated by Xia Wanwan and had nowhere to vent his anger but wanted someone to be with him, so he had no choice but to leave Xia Ningxi behind.

Xia Ningxi had no intention of comforting Huo Nanxiao.

She was unhappy.

Huo Nanxiao's face hardened: "Is that what you're thinking?"

"Otherwise what?" Xia Ningxi retorted.

Huo Nanxiao was holding back his anger. He simply wanted Xia Ningxi to stay with him, not to take his anger out on Xia Ningxi because of Xia Wanwan. He was just... used to having Xia Ningxi by his side, used to the feeling of her being there.

As long as Xia Ningxi is around, Huo Nanxiao feels inexplicably at ease, and his work efficiency becomes extremely high.

Huo Nanxiao glanced at his wristwatch and said, "I'll have taken care of everything at the company in an hour, then I'll take you out to dinner."

“I’m not hungry,” Xia Ningxi refused.

Huo Nanxiao: "I'm hungry."

Xia Ningxi sighed. She couldn't leave, so she could only obediently wait here.

She couldn't understand Huo Nanxiao. This guy clearly cared about Xia Wanwan a lot, and he clearly had plenty of time to spend with her, yet he seemed reluctant to see her...

He'd rather let his ex-wife spend a day in his office than bring Xia Wanwan back.

If Huo Nanxiao brings Xia Wanwan to the company, those who come to discuss cooperation will immediately change their attitude towards Xia Wenhe after seeing Xia Wanwan. The public opinion in the capital will also change, and the predicament faced by the Xia Group will be solved in an instant.

Huo Nanxiao couldn't possibly be unaware of such a simple principle.

But why is it that Huo Nanxiao is unwilling to do something for the Xia family when it could be resolved with just a wave of his hand?

Is it dissatisfaction with the Xia family?

Since she was dissatisfied with her in-laws from the start, even if Xia Wanwan married Huo Nanxiao in the future, her life wouldn't be much better.

Xia Ningxi was really sleepy, so she hugged a pillow and went into Huo Nanxiao's lounge. She skillfully lifted the blanket, crawled into bed, and fell fast asleep.

Huo Nanxiao was working outside and didn't bother Xia Ningxi.

When he brought in the hot milk tea, he didn't see Xia Ningxi and asked curiously, "President, where is the young mistress?"

"She's asleep." Huo Nanxiao glanced at the milk tea in her hand and said, "Put it on the table."

"Okay." Ye Su put down the milk tea and said, "President, Xia Wenhe from the Xia Group is requesting an audience outside the company. Would you like to see him?"

"I won't see you," Huo Nanxiao refused.

Ye Su said, "I see he's very agitated. If the president doesn't see him, he might try to commit suicide. Is the president really not going to see him?"

"Let him die wherever he wants. Tell security not to let him set foot in the company compound." Huo Nanxiao sneered. Xia Wenhe raised such a vicious wife and daughter, and he still had the nerve to come to him for mercy?

Huo Nanxiao was extremely disdainful, and even looking at Xia Wenhe made him feel disgusted.

The security guards were very obedient. Xia Wenhe made a scene downstairs at the company for a long time, but he couldn't even see Huo Nanxiao. Instead, he was pointed at and talked about by a group of people like a monkey. Xia Wenhe felt very embarrassed and couldn't just leave. So he could only stay outside the company and wait for Huo Nanxiao to come out.

Two hours later, Huo Nanxiao led a dazed Xia Ningxi out of Yunting Group.

Upon seeing this, Xia Wenhe rushed forward excitedly and blocked Huo Nanxiao's path: "Young Master Huo, I have something I want to talk to you about."

"There's nothing to talk about, get out of the way." Huo Nanxiao's face was cold, and he had no patience for Xia Wenhe.

Xia Wenhe said, "Only you can save the Xia Group now. I'm kneeling down and begging you to help me for Wanwan's sake."

"Heh." Huo Nanxiao scoffed, "Why do you think I'll help you? I'll pay back what I owe Xia Wanwan. As for the Xia family, they're the same as they were back then. Don't let me see you again, or don't blame me for being rude to you."

Xia Wenhe knelt down in front of Huo Nanxiao with a thud, grabbed his pants and begged, "Young Master Huo, please help me this time. I really can't go bankrupt. I can't let my whole family starve. I beg you, I'll do anything you ask if you're willing to help me."

Huo Nanxiao lost all patience and kicked Xia Wenhe away.

Seeing that pleading with him was useless, Xia Wenhe turned his head and looked at Xia Ningxi: "Ningxi, please help me, please beg Young Master Huo for me. He only listens to you now, please help me."

“I have no relation to your family, why should I help you?” Xia Ningxi retorted.

Xia Wenhe felt a chill run down his spine. "How could you be so vicious? Are you only satisfied when you've driven our family to the brink of despair?"

"Hehe." Xia Ningxi smiled slightly and got into Huo Nanxiao's car.

Xia Wenhe chased after her, cursing and swearing, but Xia Ningxi ignored him completely.

After getting in the car, she said to the driver without any politeness, "Drive."

The driver immediately started the car.

Xia Wenhe chased after them for a long time but couldn't catch up. He could only watch them leave, and he was so angry that he almost spat out a mouthful of blood.

"What a tragedy! How did we end up like this? Xia Ningxi, that despicable thing, knew that the Xia family was relying on Huo Nanxiao to turn their lives around, yet she still sowed discord behind their backs. Why didn't she die sooner! If she had died on her sickbed back then, none of this would have happened."

Xia Wenhe blamed all the mistakes on Xia Ningxi, believing that Xia Ningxi was a jinx and that he never had a smooth life wherever Xia Ningxi was.

That's how it was then, and that's how it is now! This beast has come back for revenge!
