Chapter 76 Better than your vixen

The surrounding temperature was dropping rapidly, and an invisible chill enveloped Xia Ningxi almost instantly.

The man's dark, deep eyes met Xia Ningxi's as he walked towards her step by step.

Xia Ningxi felt extremely uncomfortable under that sharp gaze. Her breathing became rapid, and just as Huo Nanxiao was about to bump into her, she suddenly took a step back.

Take a deep breath.

Xia Ningxi mustered her courage, raised her head, and said to Huo Nanxiao, "As you can see, I went out to dinner with another man."

"You know him?" Huo Nanxiao's voice was icy.

Xia Ningxi said, "This has nothing to do with you, right? Instead of wasting your time questioning me, you should spend more time with Huo Yuan."

Xia Ningxi didn't want to say much to Huo Nanxiao about Huo Jinchuan's matter.

She is now Huo Nanxiao's ex-wife, and there is no need for her to report her whereabouts to him.

Seeing that Huo Nanxiao was unwilling to leave, Xia Ningxi simply left the consultation room.

Huo Nanxiao was a little annoyed at being completely ignored.

This woman doesn't respect me at all now.

Huo Nanxiao was furious, but just then his phone rang. It was Ye Su calling, saying that something had happened at the company, and Huo Nanxiao had no choice but to rush there immediately.

Without any hesitation, Ye Su told Huo Nanxiao, "President, the chairman has handed over the Nanyang project to Jinhe Group."

Huo Nanxiao frowned deeply: "Why are you only telling me now? When did this happen?"

"Just now, a scout from Jinhe Group sent back a message saying that their team has gone to Nanyang. We've been competing with Jinhe Group for the Nanyang project, and we don't know why the chairman would suddenly make such a decision."

Ye Su was also puzzled, as they had originally been confident of victory in this matter.

Huo Nanxiao had a somber expression and returned to the Huo family's old residence early the next morning.

At six o'clock in the morning, Grandpa Huo had already gotten up. He was dressed in a plain white outfit and was practicing Tai Chi in the courtyard. Although he looked a bit old, he was full of energy.

"Master, the young master is back." The butler rushed to report to Huo Xiuyuan after seeing Huo Nanxiao's car stop.

Huo Xiuyuan's strong voice revealed a hint of displeasure: "What's he coming back for?"

"They must be here to see the master," the butler replied.

Huo Xiuyuan snorted coldly.

Seeing Huo Nanxiao return out of the corner of his eye, his mood vanished completely, and he said with a stern face, "You're back?"

"Yes. Why did Father give the Nanyang project to Jinhe Group?" Huo Nanxiao asked.

Huo Xiuyuan said, "You're focusing all your attention on that young doctor at the hospital. What's the point of working? I think you should spend more time with her."

"Who told you that?" Huo Nanxiao's aura suddenly turned cold.

Huo Xiuyuan said, "You did such a shameful thing and you're afraid of people finding out? Everyone at the Traditional Chinese Medicine Hospital knows about you and that female doctor. You're not ashamed, but I am."

"What do I have to do with her?" Huo Nanxiao asked coldly.

Huo Xiuyuan said, "Do I have to say it out loud? Aren't you and that woman living together? Turning Huo Yuan's private hospital room into your secret little hut, am I wrong?"

“She’s just Huo Yuan’s doctor,” Huo Nanxiao said calmly.

Seeing that he refused to admit it, Huo Xiuyuan was furious. He pointed at his nose and said, "Back then, I opposed your choice of Xia Wanwan. What did you say at that time? You said you owed Xia Wanwan and that you had to marry her, and that you could only marry her. And what happened in the end?"

"Ning Xi has only been gone for a few years, and you've already fallen for another woman. Is there anyone in this world better than Ning Xi? You've done such a shameful thing, and you still dare to show your face in front of me. I'd be ashamed if you weren't!"

Huo Xiuyuan grew angrier as he spoke, and said with a stern face, "You don't need to do the Nanyang project anymore. Let Jinchuan do it. He's more obedient than you, and he knows how to properly date girlfriends. That suits my taste. As for you, go back to where you came from and don't get in my way here."

Huo Xiuyuan didn't want to talk to Huo Nanxiao anymore. He wiped the sweat from his brow and prepared to go eat.

Breakfast was already prepared, and the Huo family members were all present.

The butler said, "Young master, since Madam and Master are both here today, why don't you stay for a meal as well?"

"No need." Huo Nanxiao turned to leave.

The butler said, "Young Master Jinchuan has also arrived."

Huo Nanxiao stopped in his tracks, a layer of ice forming in his eyes.

He strode off to the restaurant.

When he pushed open the door, he saw Huo Jinchuan sitting inside. Huo Nanxiao remembered the face he had seen last night, and his expression darkened even more.

"Good morning, big brother," Huo Jinchuan greeted with a smile.

Huo Nanxiao walked in, pulled out a chair, sat down, and said coldly, "What are you doing here?"

"I just took over the Nanyang case and came to thank you, sir and madam." Huo Jinchuan said with a smile, his manner amiable.

He was quite different from Huo Nanxiao, who exuded a cold aura.

Huo Nanxiao said, "With the strength of Jinhe Group, can it handle the Nanyang project?"

Huo Jinchuan said, "It's barely passable. However, since the master has entrusted this project to me, I will do my best to complete it. He also said that the Huo family can help. I don't have much ability, unlike you, my elder brother, who has achieved so much. I can only rely on the support of my elders and ask them to worry about it."

Huo Xiuyuan said, "You're young, so you can still gain experience. Just don't follow the example of some people."

Huo Jinchuan smiled slightly: "I've already found a girlfriend, and she's a very nice person."

"What does your girlfriend do?" Huo Xiuyuan asked.

Huo Jinchuan said with a smile, "She is a very famous doctor abroad, with a great reputation. She is very skilled at a young age, has a good personality, is gentle and kind, and is honest with people."

After listening attentively, Huo Xiuyuan nodded with great satisfaction: "Hmm, it sounds very good. Doctors are good, saving lives and healing the wounded is a very noble profession. It's a great honor for our Huo family to find such an amazing girlfriend."

Huo Jinchuan said, "She is a very good person. However, she has seen a lot of the world and hopes that I can succeed. I am willing to make changes for her. I will definitely make the Nanyang project a success."

Huo Xiuyuan was very pleased: "I'm relieved that you think this way. Don't be like some people who are idle all day long and make a mess of their own families."

Although he didn't name names, everyone knows who Huo Xiuyuan was talking about.

Only Huo Nanxiao has the ability to make such a mess of the Huo family.

Huo Xiuyuan felt a surge of anger when he thought about how Huo Jinchuan had found such a good girlfriend, and then looked back at his good-for-nothing son.

He told Huo Nanxiao, "You'd better sort out your mess outside. I don't want to hear any more bad rumors, or don't blame me for being ruthless."

Huo Nanxiao sneered: "Why doesn't Father ask Huo Jinchuan who his girlfriend is?"

"Is that even a question? Anyway, she's better than those little vixens around you." Huo Xiuyuan was very angry.
