Xia Ningxi lay in a pool of blood after a difficult labor from her two-year marriage, completely forgetting that it was the day of his wedding to someone else.
Huo Nanxiao said, "Leave th...
Chapter 766 I thought you would never see me again
Huo Nanxiao fell silent. Indeed, he didn't know if Xia Ningxi would forgive him.
Perhaps he was really selfish. On the one hand, he hoped that Xia Wanwan would be alright, and on the other hand, he hoped that Xia Ningxi and the child could stay by his side so that the five of them could live a good life together.
Huo Nanxiao was in a bad mood and smashed the teacup on the table.
Li Yancheng's lips twitched: "This is my home!"
"How much is it worth?" Huo Nanxiao asked back.
Li Yancheng: "You son of a bitch, you deserve to have your wife run away."
"Even if Xia Ningxi runs away, she's still mine. Unlike you, a simp, thinking you can take advantage of my absence? She only needs to be interested in you," Huo Nanxiao mocked.
Li Yancheng: "Instead of cursing here, you should go back and think about how to deal with the mess outside. Judging by the time, the Xia family should be coming to you by now, humph."
Given Zhou Fenglin and Xia Wenhe's track record, they must be extremely anxious that Huo Nanxiao hasn't visited Xia Wanwan in the hospital for so long. Besides spending money to silence the media, they should also be thinking about how to convince Huo Nanxiao of Xia Wanwan's character and do everything they can to keep her position as the eldest daughter-in-law of the Huo family.
Sure enough, not long after Li Yancheng spoke, Huo Nanxiao's phone rang. It was Xia Wenhe calling.
Li Yancheng glanced at it from afar, and it really was true, he chuckled inwardly.
Huo Nanxiao hung up on Xia Wenhe, but Xia Wenhe called back shortly after, so he simply turned off his phone.
His cold, sharp eyes fell on Li Yancheng. He wanted to ask some more details, but he didn't know where to begin, so he had no choice but to leave.
Huo Nanxiao's temples throbbed all the way back; he was exhausted.
"President, shall we go back to the company or the old house?" Lu Qi asked.
Huo Nanxiao said, "The company."
"Okay." Lu Qi focused on driving.
Upon arriving at the company, Huo Nanxiao went straight into his office. Ye Su immediately went up to report to him when she saw him return.
"President, Xia Luoluo has arrived at the company and is waiting in the VIP room."
Huo Nanxiao asked, displeased, "What's she doing here?"
"It's for Xia Wanwan," Ye Su answered truthfully.
Huo Nanxiao said, "Let her go back. I don't have time to deal with this right now."
Ye Su was somewhat troubled: "I said the same thing before. Seeing that she was very determined to see you, I was worried that I wouldn't be able to get rid of her. Moreover, she said that Xia Wanwan's condition was not good. She has been in a very bad mood since what happened last night, and the hospital even issued a critical condition notice."
"I understand." Huo Nanxiao's attitude remained ambiguous.
Ye Su couldn't understand what he meant either, but since Huo Nanxiao didn't want to see her, she could only have someone drive Xia Luoluo away.
The company was in chaos all day. After what happened last night, Yunting Group was caught in a media storm. The senior management was in a panic. Huo Nanxiao went straight to him for advice as soon as he got back to the company. They didn't know how to deal with the persistent media.
Inside the meeting room, each director kept asking questions.
"Mr. Huo, there are over a hundred media outlets reporting on your case right now, and the public relations department doesn't know your stance. You need to give us a definite answer on what to do next."
"Whether to annul the engagement with Xia Wanwan or continue the engagement, we need a concrete outcome. Only after we know your attitude can we come up with a solution."
"Although the wedding has already taken place, we haven't registered our marriage yet. As long as we haven't obtained the marriage certificate, we still have the opportunity to defend ourselves. As long as we sever ties with the Xia family, the company won't be greatly affected."
"This family is really despicable. Who knows what kind of trouble they're going to cause? Although last night's events were quite ugly, it's fortunate that we discovered their true colors before the wedding. Although the stock market was greatly affected by this incident, everything is still under control. As long as we don't make the same mistake again, we can completely recover this loss."
The company's senior executives offered their suggestions.
Without a doubt, no one supported Xia Wanwan at this point. They even unanimously believed that Xia Wanwan was a troublemaker, harming not only Huo Nanxiao but also the entire company.
They're being put on the hot seat right now, all because of Xia Wanwan.
After understanding everyone's attitude, Huo Nanxiao did not answer immediately.
"I wonder if Mr. Huo still has any concerns?" one of the directors asked.
Huo Nanxiao said, "This is my private matter. The company does not need to do any public relations or give any response to the media."
The director asked in confusion, "What does President Huo mean by this? Does President Huo not want to sever ties with Xia Wanwan? Her reputation is ruined now, and she has a bad character. If someone like her gets involved with you, the entire company will be affected."
"If Xia Wanwan were truly Mr. Huo's savior, we wouldn't say a word against her no matter how bad her reputation was. But now that things have blown up so much, everyone knows Xia Wanwan is a fraud. If Mr. Huo continues to marry Xia Wanwan, wouldn't he be a huge fool?"
"Yes, Mr. Huo wouldn't be that stupid, would he?"
The board members echoed their sentiments, and their gazes toward Huo Nanxiao became more worried.
It's so obvious that Huo Nanxiao must know that severing ties with Xia Wanwan is the best solution. Anyone with a brain and who cares about the company would choose to do that.
Huo Nanxiao knew that everyone harbored resentment, and said in a deep voice, "I understand what you mean. I will handle this matter. Meeting adjourned."
“Mr. Huo…” the board members tried to persuade him to stay.
Huo Nanxiao ignored him and walked quickly, disappearing from everyone's sight in no time.
The executives were extremely anxious and quickly grabbed Ye Su's hand, asking, "What exactly does Huo Nanxiao mean? Does he intend to disregard the company's interests for Xia Wanwan's sake?"
Ye Su said, "I'm just a secretary and I don't know about these things, but please trust the president. He's been in a bad mood lately, but he will handle the company's affairs well once he calms down. He will definitely not let you down."
The board members sighed.
Ye Su smiled politely and left the meeting room.
There was a lot going on at the company today, and Huo Nanxiao stayed in his office, burying himself in his work.
Ye Su noticed that Huo Nanxiao had injuries of varying degrees on his hands and body, so she secretly bought medicine and placed it on Huo Nanxiao's table.
"Go arrange a car, I need to go to the hospital, and we need to avoid the media outside," Huo Nanxiao suddenly said.
Ye Su: "Are we going to see Xia Wanwan?"
"Yes," Huo Nanxiao admitted.
Ye Su immediately made arrangements, and also sent people to drive away all the reporters near the hospital to ensure that Huo Nanxiao would not be photographed by any reporters.
Xia Wanwan was pleasantly surprised when he appeared in her hospital room.
"You've finally come." Xia Wanwan's eyes welled up with tears of surprise. "I thought you would never see me again."
