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 768 Afraid to see the young mistress?
Xia Wanwan didn't believe that Xia Ningxi knew nothing. She even suspected that Xia Ningxi was behind it all, that she had planned everything to make Xia Wanwan lose face in front of so many people.
She knew that Xia Ningxi had never liked her.
Huo Nanxiao said, "Xia Ningxi doesn't know anything. She was injured before and can't remember anything."
"But Xia Ningxi wasn't even by your side when you had your accident." Xia Wanwan asked doubtfully, "Why was Xia Ningxi injured? And when was she injured? There are no conclusions about any of this. It's all just what Li Yancheng said. Can we really believe what he says?"
Huo Nanxiao: "He didn't lie this time. I don't want to involve anyone in this matter, and I hope you won't think too much about it. Just focus on recovering in the hospital and don't worry about anything else."
He didn't want to explain too much to Xia Wanwan; it would only lead to nothing.
Xia Wanwan was very upset by Huo Nanxiao's attitude: "Don't you believe what I said? Even if I don't remember what happened back then, I know that Li Yancheng's relationship with Xia Ningxi is not ordinary now."
Li Yancheng would do anything for Xia Ningxi. The Li family owns one of the top technology companies in the country. I really don't understand why he had to make a scene like last night. Is it possible that Xia Ningxi knew nothing about it?
Xia Wanwan was a little angry. Even if she was in the wrong first, did Xia Ningxi really bear no responsibility at all for making her lose face in public with her people?
She was really angry.
The Xia family's reputation was already bad, and now Huo Nanxiao's attitude made Xia Wanwan feel like it was all her fault, but what did she do wrong?
She had no recollection of any of this. It was Huo Nanxiao and the others who insisted on labeling her as their savior, so she had no choice but to go along with it. But it wasn't all her fault.
Huo Nanxiao knew that Xia Wanwan harbored resentment and said, "I know you're upset, so I haven't said a bad word about you since I appeared. But compared to Xia Ningxi, are you really that wronged? She may have suffered more than you."
"Are you blaming me?" Xia Wanwan's voice trembled slightly.
Huo Nanxiao lowered his eyes and looked at her very seriously: "Wanwan, you are already better off than many people. I can provide you with a life free from want and ensure that the Xia family has a place in the capital. As long as they are honest and law-abiding, their lives in the capital will not be too bad. You have already received more than enough."
"That's not what I'm talking about." Xia Wanwan's eyes were red. "I just want to know why things ended up like this. Why is it all my fault when I didn't do anything right?"
Huo Nanxiao said, "I have no intention of blaming you."
"But didn't you come here today to interrogate me? You trust Xia Ningxi so much, trust the people around her, and believe she is innocent, but what about me?"
Am I really that heinous? You know I'm not that kind of person. If I had known all this beforehand, I would never have done it! Xia Wanwan became more and more agitated as she spoke.
She had undergone brain surgery and her body couldn't handle the stimulation. In her excitement, her breathing became increasingly rapid, and she almost couldn't breathe.
Huo Nanxiao didn't argue with her. "Just take good care of yourself."
"Where are you going?" Xia Wanwan called out to him.
Huo Nanxiao: "I have a lot of things to take care of, so I won't stay with you."
He turned away indifferently and left.
Xia Wanwan wanted to stop him, but didn't know how to start.
The reporters lingering outside the door hadn't left yet. Their eyes lit up when they saw Huo Nanxiao emerge, and they all rushed forward: "Young Master Huo, would it be convenient for you to give an interview? What happened last night..."
"Ye Su," Huo Nanxiao reprimanded unhappily.
Ye Su, who had just driven away a group of people, turned around when she heard Huo Nanxiao's voice. Unexpectedly, he was blocked by a group of reporters. Ye Su quickly surrounded him with her bodyguards.
"I'm sorry, Mr. Huo does not accept any interviews. Please leave immediately." Ye Su stopped them.
The bodyguards escorted Huo Nanxiao into the elevator. He didn't answer any questions from the reporters who came to interview him, and then quickly left after getting into the car.
Not long after the group left, Ye Su received a call from the hospital. She frowned and reported to Huo Nanxiao, "President, it's the hospital. Xia Wanwan fainted due to emotional distress and is currently being treated in the emergency room. They need you to come over and sign some documents."
Huo Nanxiao frowned and thought for a long time before speaking: "Call Xia Wenhe and ask him to go to the hospital to take care of Xia Wanwan. Tell him that if anything happens to Xia Wanwan, he doesn't care about his own life."
"Is the president really not planning to go and see for himself? Perhaps Xia Wanwan fainted because of the president. I think it's best for you to go and stay with her now," Ye Su added.
Huo Nanxiao said unhappily, "When did I ever need to listen to your work assignments?"
"I'm sorry, I was wrong." Ye Su apologized and immediately shut her mouth.
Although this displeased Huo Nanxiao, the clever Ye Su also saw through Huo Nanxiao's attitude towards Xia Wanwan.
Without the life-saving grace, Xia Wanwan is ultimately just an ordinary person. Even with the deep bond she has shared with Huo Nanxiao over the years, it's impossible for them to go back to how they were originally.
Ye Su: "President, there's not much going on at the company this afternoon, just some high-level meetings. I'm sure those executives will be pressuring you for an answer. Do you think you should take half a day off?"
Huo Nanxiao rubbed his forehead, looking exasperated: "Back to Lanyuan."
"President, would you like to go and see the young mistress?" Ye Su cautiously suggested.
Huo Nanxiao opened his eyes.
She immediately explained, "I heard that the young mistress underwent a very important surgery at Ninghai Hospital, and Lin Jiangbei's condition has improved. The Ling family members are also at Ninghai Hospital recently. After seeing the young mistress, you can talk to Ling Shuang about cooperation."
"I'm not going." Huo Nanxiao refused without hesitation.
Ye Su asked in confusion, "Doesn't the president want to cooperate with the Ling family? Right now, many businessmen in the capital are scrambling to get this business. If Yunting Group can also take on this project, the future revenue will be quite considerable."
"Chairman Huo has always been prejudiced against the president. Now most of the Huo family's business is managed by Huo Jinchuan. If we don't take more initiative, this project might fall into Huo Jinchuan's hands."
Huo Nanxiao: "Don't worry about things that aren't your concern."
Ye Su muttered under her breath, "Is the president afraid to see the young mistress?"
Huo Nanxiao's face darkened.
Ye Su: "Actually, it's nothing. The young mistress is a reasonable person. Although the president did many wrong things before, it was because he was deceived by villains. The young mistress knows that. As long as the president sincerely repents and apologizes, the young mistress should forgive you."
