Chapter 756 I just want an answer!

"It was because of that accident back then that Huo Yuan was taken away by you and given to Xia Wanwan to be her son. I've been bearing the infamy of almost killing Xia Wanwan for so many years. Why should I remain silent at this time?" Xia Ningxi questioned, her emotions somewhat agitated, her eyes filled with resentment towards Huo Nanxiao.

Huo Nanxiao said, "This matter is not as simple as you think. No matter how much you have to say, I will give you a satisfactory answer after the wedding banquet."

"Why should I wait? What if I don't want to?" Xia Ningxi retorted.

Huo Nanxiao's face hardened: "Are you really going to cause trouble in this kind of setting?"

"I'm making a scene? Huo Nanxiao! Everyone has the right to criticize me, except you! Have you forgotten how you treated me back then? You said I harmed Xia Wanwan, so my child should be raised by Xia Wanwan. When you took A Yuan away from me without regard for my life or death, did you ever think about my feelings?"

Now I have a definite witness standing before me, ready to tell me everything that happened back then, yet you're trying to silence everyone. Am I being unreasonable, or are you willing to disregard everyone's lives to protect Xia Wanwan?

Xia Ningxi angrily questioned him.

Huo Nanxiao fell silent. He didn't know how to answer Xia Ningxi's question, fearing it would hurt her.

However, he didn't want Xia Wanwan to become the target of public criticism.

"I will give you a satisfactory answer after this is over," Huo Nanxiao said firmly.

Xia Ningxi: "I don't want to."

“Yes, why do we have to wait until after the wedding? What is Brother Nanxiao trying to hide for Xia Wanwan? If she has nothing to hide, she should confront him face to face.” Fu Mingyan came over and threw a tantrum at Huo Nanxiao in a spoiled manner.

Fu Xiyu pulled Fu Mingyan back: "This is none of your business."

"How come I'm not involved? My brother always says Xia Wanwan is a wonderful person, but she hasn't done anything good. The only thing she can talk about is that she saved Huo Nanxiao. If even that is fake, then why is she standing here?" Fu Mingyan retorted.

Fu Xiyu: "You don't understand anything, this is not your business."

“I don’t understand, but others do! Rather than leaving everyone in the dark, it’s better for both sides to be open about it. Why hide like thieves?” Fu Mingyan said.

Ji Feibai: "Yes, everyone is watching. If things are left like this, it's hard to guarantee that Xia Wanwan won't be gossiped about behind her back in the future."

Jin Mingxi: "If Xia Wanwan has a clear conscience, she has nothing to fear from anyone."

With just a few words, the crowd thrust Xia Wanwan into the center of public opinion, and now she can't escape even if she wants to.

Xia Wanwan stood stiffly, her pale face devoid of color.

Everyone looked at her, their eyes filled with doubt and inquiry, suspicion and mockery.

Everyone had different thoughts, but one thing was certain: they all believed Li Yancheng's words. They all looked down on Xia Wanwan. In addition, the Xia family's actions over the years made everyone think that this family was no good. So how could Xia Wanwan be a good person to them?

“Miss Wanwan, things have come to this point, it’s no longer right for you to remain silent.”

"Tell me what exactly happened back then."

“As the person involved, you can’t possibly not remember anything. Li Yancheng is clearly trying to drag you down with him. You have to explain yourself. If you don’t say a word, we’ll assume he’s telling the truth.”

Urging voices rose from the crowd, and countless people launched an "attack" on Xia Wanwan, forcing her to explain.

But how could Xia Wanwan possibly know what happened back then?

She naturally couldn't utter a single word.

Seeing his daughter being surrounded and attacked, Zhou Fenglin angrily shouted, "Why are you all being so violent? My daughter isn't a criminal. Are you trying to kill her by surrounding her like this?"

"She can't even remember what she said, what more do you want? She's Huo Nanxiao's wife now, is this how you treat the eldest daughter-in-law of the Huo family!"

Zhou Fenglin directly used his status as the eldest daughter-in-law of the Huo family to pressure them.

The crowd, which had been chattering incessantly, became noticeably quieter.

Zhou Fenglin was very happy and turned to Xia Wanwan, saying, "You go back and rest first, I'll take care of the rest."

"Okay." Xia Wanwan didn't hesitate and was about to leave.

Just then, a sharp screech of brakes came from outside the door, and soon a group of bodyguards in black rushed in.

The security guards at the gate were startled by the sudden intruders and immediately stepped in to stop them. However, when they saw Huo Xiuyuan get out of the car, all the guards stopped.

"It's Master Huo!"

"Get out of the way immediately."

"Master Huo has arrived!"

The security captain hurriedly grabbed his walkie-talkie and shouted at them.

Everyone immediately made way for them.

Huo Xiuyuan, leaning on his cane, walked into the wedding hall under the gaze of everyone.

The guests' eyes lit up, and they couldn't help but show respect on their faces.

Fu Xiyu: "Hello, Uncle Huo."

Ji Feibai and Jin Mingxi: "Hello, Uncle Huo."

Guest: "Greetings, Mr. Huo..."

Everyone greeted Huo Xiuyuan without prior arrangement.

Huo Xiuyuan nodded slightly in return.

He leaned on his cane and walked step by step to the front of the group. He glanced at Xia Ningxi, then at Huo Nanxiao and Xia Wanwan behind him, and snorted coldly: "Where are you going?"

The crowd was puzzled, wondering who Huo Xiuyuan was asking. They all followed his gaze and finally fixed their eyes on Xia Wanwan, who was about to leave.

Under immense pressure, Xia Wanwan replied, "I'm not feeling well, so I'd like to go downstairs and rest for a while."

"Today is your wedding banquet. The guests haven't left yet, and you, the main guest, are leaving first. Is that appropriate?" Huo Xiuyuan questioned.

Xia Wanwan lowered her head and said, "I'm sorry, it was my fault for being impolite. It's all my fault."

"You don't need to pretend to be so pitiful in front of me. I am not Huo Nanxiao, and I don't acknowledge you as my daughter-in-law. Back then, your Xia family took advantage of the favor you did for the Huo family and asked for a lot of money and resources. I came here today because I heard some rumors and wanted to verify them myself." Huo Xiuyuan didn't mince words.

He had heard about Xia Wanwan's situation and came all the way from the Huo family's old residence.

Zhou Fenglin immediately defended his daughter: "Master Huo, all of this is just Li Yancheng talking nonsense, it's not true."

"You have no right to speak here," Huo Xiuyuan said, displeased.

Zhou Fenglin's face stiffened, and half of his voice went hoarse.

Huo Xiuyuan asked Xia Wanwan, "I have no patience, you tell me yourself."

Xia Wanwan bit her lip tightly: "I don't remember anything from back then."

"If you don't remember, you should have someone review it for you, instead of hiding at a time like this," Huo Xiuyuan scolded.

Xia Wanwan lowered her head and dared not speak.

Huo Nanxiao was surprised that Huo Xiuyuan would come and said, "Dad, don't worry about this."

"What are you afraid of?" Huo Xiuyuan asked back.

Huo Nanxiao said, "Things are not that simple. I will explain to you after I have investigated the matter."

"If you could investigate thoroughly, you wouldn't have been fooled for so many years." Huo Xiuyuan sneered.

Huo Nanxiao said with a gloomy face, "I will give you a satisfactory explanation, but not today."

"You still want to protect Xia Wanwan?" Huo Xiuyuan questioned.

Huo Nanxiao said, "No matter what the truth is, Wanwan is innocent."

"She's innocent? I doubt it!" Huo Xiuyuan sneered and said to Li Yancheng, "I know you want to drag Nan Xiao down with you and ruin his reputation, but as long as what you say is true, I can let you off the hook. Tell me everything you know today, I also want to know the truth of what happened back then, but if you dare to lie to me, I'll make sure you don't see the sun tomorrow."

Li Yancheng smiled and said, "I have had everything that happened back then downloaded. The evidence is in the wedding gift I gave to Huo Nanxiao. Now that everyone is here, it's a good opportunity to play it out and let everyone see it."

Huo Xiuyuan's gaze fell on Xia Wanwan's hands, where she was holding a gift box, which clearly contained something.

Xia Wanwan's face turned pale, and she tightened her grip on the gift box.

"Hand it over!" Huo Xiuyuan ordered.

Xia Wanwan was covered in cold sweat, and she looked at Huo Nanxiao for help, her body trembling uncontrollably.
