Chapter 751 The Whole Family Jumps Up in Frustration

When Huo Nanxiao met Xia Ningxi's eyes and saw her appearing at his wedding with Li Yancheng, he found it hard to be happy. Moreover, Xia Ningxi was being led by Li Yancheng, which was somewhat of a slap in Huo Nanxiao's face.

His aura turned cold, and all he could see was Xia Ningxi's cool and beautiful face.

Xia Ningxi knew that Huo Nanxiao was watching her, and she was a little dazed for a moment. But when she thought that the two of them had nothing to do with each other anymore, Xia Ningxi's heart turned cold. Actually, there was nothing to be afraid of.

He already has a new wife and a new beginning, so Xia Ningxi should be more open-minded and face everything with equanimity.

As for Li Yancheng, his face was full of an inscrutable smile, and his meaningful expression suggested he was plotting something. However, anyone who had known him for many years could tell that Li Yancheng had ill intentions.

"Congratulations, Mr. Huo, on your marriage." Li Yancheng offered his congratulations with a smile.

Huo Nanxiao ignored Li Yancheng and focused his gaze on Xia Ningxi: "Didn't you have surgery today?"

"I'm off work." Xia Ningxi replied simply, then looked him in the eye and said earnestly, "Congratulations on your marriage."

Huo Nanxiao didn't speak. He would have flattered anyone else who said such a thing, but he just didn't want to hear Xia Ningxi say it. He didn't know why, but he just felt a little uncomfortable in his chest.

Xia Wanwan remained calm and did not blush at Xia Ningxi's arrival. On the contrary, she showed a joyful expression. She said happily, "Ningxi, thank you for coming to our wedding. I thought you wouldn't come. You don't hold a grudge against me, right?"

"I wish you happiness," Xia Ningxi replied with only four words.

To be honest, she didn't want to get too involved with Xia Wanwan. With so many people watching, there was no need to make things look bad for either of them; in the end, it would only make them a laughing stock.

"Miss Wanwan is truly blessed. In less than a year, you successfully ousted the Huo family's legal wife and married into a wealthy family. You're quite capable; I'm envious of you." Li Yancheng said sarcastically, his eyes full of smiles, even revealing a hint of disdain and mockery.

Xia Wanwan remained composed: "Young Master Li is a man of some standing, is he here today just to make sarcastic remarks?"

Li Yancheng curled his lips: "Naturally, it's to celebrate that you've gotten what you wanted, and also to celebrate that Huo Nanxiao has finally married the woman he loves. He must have gone to great lengths to marry you, right? It's said that Huo Nanxiao was willing to break with his father to marry you. You're really capable. I wonder who will get the Huo family's huge fortune in the future. I've heard that Huo Nanxiao has a younger brother. Could it be that the Huo family's assets will all fall into Huo Jinchuan's hands?"

Huo Jinchuan, who was dragged into this, was extremely frustrated. He came today simply to see the joke. Huo Xiuyuan had indeed given him a lot of investment recently, but he didn't expect to be exposed to the public like this. He didn't want to be used as a pawn.

So when Li Yancheng mentioned himself, Huo Jinchuan stood up without hesitation and said, “Young Master Li, please be careful with your words. I have no intention of taking over the Huo family. My elder brother is the only heir of the Huo family, and that will never change. Please do not misunderstand.”

"Really? But I heard Master Huo say that he wanted to sever his father-son relationship with Huo Nanxiao. Everyone in the capital knows about this, and everyone knows that Master Huo is very opposed to Xia Wanwan entering the Huo family." Li Yancheng said quietly.

Huo Jinchuan replied, "Xia Wanwan is just not liked by the Huo family now, but perhaps things will be different many years from now. Since my elder brother likes her, there must be a reason why he likes her. In time, perhaps everyone will be able to see that Xia Wanwan is one of the few good people, and the Huo family will accept her sooner or later."

Huo Jinchuan was very protective of Xia Wanwan. Regardless of Huo Xiuyuan's attitude or whether he agreed to Xia Wanwan entering the Huo family, Huo Jinchuan had already agreed to it. Xia Wanwan had no use and did not please the old man. Huo Nanxiao marrying such a woman would only wear down Huo Xiuyuan's patience with him. Not only that, Huo Xiuyuan would also hold a grudge against Huo Nanxiao because of this.

Even if Huo Xiuyuan doesn't propose a new successor, Huo Jinchuan can still reap considerable benefits. At least now, many investments that should have belonged to Huo Nanxiao have ended up in Huo Jinchuan's hands, and he has certainly made a killing.

He didn't want to kick Xia Wanwan while she was down. She was his lucky star. As long as Xia Wanwan was around, Huo Xiuyuan would always be angry with Huo Nanxiao.

Huo Jinchuan: "Young Master Li, today is my elder brother and sister-in-law's wedding banquet. I know you two have had a falling out, but today is a joyous occasion, so I hope you will be careful with your words."

"Don't worry, everyone, I'm not here to cause trouble." Li Yancheng smiled slightly and said to everyone, "I'm just here to give the bride and groom a wedding gift."

Huo Nanxiao looked at him warily: "What congratulatory gift?"

"I know you paid a high price to marry Xia Wanwan, and I can see your sincerity towards her. The gift you prepared will naturally be of high quality. This is a green tea gemstone that I bought from abroad at a huge cost. It is very precious, and I even had a famous craftsman set it. It would be perfect to give to Xia Wanwan as a necklace."

As he spoke, Li Yancheng opened the box in his hand, inside which was a very exquisite emerald necklace. The gemstones were large and bright, and the necklace was particularly beautiful, showing that some effort had been put into its creation.

Xia Wenhe and Zhou Fenglin's eyes lit up.

"What a huge gem! It must be very expensive." Zhou Fenglin couldn't hide his joy.

Xia Wenhe feigned modesty: "Young Master Li, you are too kind."

Xia Luoluo didn't say a word, but she was extremely jealous, though she dared not show it at all.

Xia Wanwan, who had been nearly killed by Li Yancheng several times, did not believe that Li Yancheng would be so generous. She always felt that Li Yancheng was scheming for something, but she couldn't figure it out.

"What? Are you complaining that the gift I gave you wasn't valuable enough?" Li Yancheng retorted.

With many people watching, Xia Wanwan had no choice but to accept his gift. "Thank you, Young Master Li. It's enough that you came to our wedding. There was no need to bring such an expensive gift. I will have it returned unopened after the wedding banquet."

"No need. Once I've given it away, there's no reason to take it back," Li Yancheng refused directly.

Xia Wanwan still harbored some doubts. She knew that Li Yancheng couldn't possibly be that kind, but she couldn't understand why he would give her such an expensive gift. She couldn't figure it out no matter how much she thought about it, so she could only accept the gift.

"Thank you, Young Master Li." Xia Wanwan's voice was soft and pleasant.

Li Yancheng: "In addition, I also prepared a gift for Huo Nanxiao."

Huo Nanxiao's eyes flashed with danger: "What gift?"

“A CD,” Li Yancheng replied.

Huo Nanxiao: "What is this?"

Li Yancheng said, "So many years have passed, and even though you have a family and children, you were still willing to abandon your wife and children to give Xia Wanwan a complete family. You are willing to do so much for Xia Wanwan, presumably to repay the life-saving grace she gave you back then, right?"

“Besides me, everyone is wondering why you are so determined to marry Xia Wanwan, even at the cost of breaking with your parents. If they could see the scene when Xia Wanwan saved you back then, they would probably understand what you have done.”

He was very considerate and went to great lengths for Xia Wanwan.

But Xia Ningxi didn't intend to let Li Yancheng do that. In the video from back then, besides Xia Wanwan, Xia Ningxi was also in it. His troubles with Xia Wanwan had nothing to do with her, but Xia Ningxi was unhappy about dragging her into it.

"What are you doing?" Xia Ningxi secretly tugged at Li Yancheng's sleeve.

Li Yancheng smiled and said, "What are you afraid of? It has nothing to do with you."

Xia Ningxi didn't believe Li Yancheng at all.

Huo Nanxiao didn't want Li Yancheng to cause trouble on such an important occasion, so he decisively rejected his suggestion: "I don't need this gift."

"How do you know if you need it if you don't take a look?" Li Yancheng retorted.

Huo Nanxiao snorted coldly: "I don't need any of your things."

"Afraid that Xia Wanwan will get hurt?" Li Yancheng directly exposed Huo Nanxiao's inner thoughts.

Huo Nanxiao did not deny it. So much time had passed, and everything was in the past. Xia Wanwan did not pursue Xia Ningxi's responsibility, and Xia Ningxi also divorced Huo Nanxiao, giving up her status as the eldest daughter-in-law of the Huo family. This matter had already reached a perfect ending, and he did not want anyone to stir up trouble again.

"If you've come here today to ask for a drink at the wedding, I can let you stay. But if you insist on causing trouble here, I'll have you thrown out." His attitude was extremely cold and hard, and there was no kindness in his eyes. He could attack Li Yancheng at any moment.

Li Yancheng shrugged: "I am a distinguished guest brought by Xia Ningxi. Do you want to kick me out, or do you want Xia Ningxi to leave? You've been divorced for less than a month and you're already kicking your ex-wife out. I'm afraid you don't want the Huo family's reputation anymore."

"Alright, stop talking. I didn't plan to stay here long anyway." Xia Ningxi pulled Li Yancheng back, not wanting him to continue making a fuss about her.

Li Yancheng said, "Don't you hate him? He kicked you and your child out for a swindler, and you don't care at all?"

Xia Ningxi's lips twitched; she now seriously doubted that Li Yancheng could hear what she was saying.

That bastard is deliberately trying to drag her down, deliberately trying to make her a laughingstock, isn't he?

Xia Ningxi had also seen the surveillance footage of that incident back then, and it was absolutely true that she pushed Xia Wanwan into the water.

The reason they didn't choose to make a scene was because Xia Ningxi redeemed herself by bringing Tang En and others over to cure Xia Wanwan's illness, so both sides chose to let the matter rest and move on.

If things come to light, Xia Ningxi will gain nothing; on the contrary, she will be charged with intentional homicide.

She is a doctor, and getting involved in these scandals is basically ruining her career; she will be criticized for the rest of her life.

“I don’t care. I don’t care who Huo Nanxiao marries. We’re already divorced. What he does has nothing to do with me,” Xia Ningxi said very seriously.

Li Yancheng smiled and said, "But he divorced you entirely because of Xia Wanwan. It was Xia Wanwan who saved Huo Nanxiao, so Huo Nanxiao couldn't live without her. But there was no evidence whatsoever that Xia Wanwan saved someone. Their whole family is the same. I really doubt that someone raised with such a family education would really give up their life for an outsider."

Upon hearing this, everyone's expression changed.

Zhou Fenglin jumped out excitedly and scolded in a shrill voice: "What are you talking about? My daughter saved Huo Nanxiao's life. This is a fact that everyone in the capital city knows. What are you trying to do by spouting nonsense and ruining her reputation?"

Xia Wenhe was also furious: "Even if Wanwan offended you before, you can't humiliate her like this. She was bedridden for six years because of Huo Nanxiao before she woke up. You have no idea how much she suffered during that time. Even if you hate Huo Nanxiao, you shouldn't ruin my daughter's reputation like this. Are you trying to force her to her death?"

"Heh." Li Yancheng chuckled. "What a clever family. I hadn't even finished speaking before you all started jumping up and down. What are you afraid of?"
