Chapter 871 The Richest Man in Lingcheng, What Do You Say?

Xia Wanwan slammed the water glass she was holding onto the floor with a clatter. Her beautiful face was filled with disbelief, and her large, captivating eyes stared at Fu Mingyan as she said, word by word, "What nonsense are you spouting?"

"Everyone has heard that you can't have children. You've been going to see gynecologists for days, but they haven't been able to cure you. You even want Xia Wanwan to get pregnant with Nan Xiao's child so that you can adopt it under your name."

"You're quite something as an older sister, sharing your husband with someone else. I wonder if Brother Nan Xiao knows about this."

Fu Mingyan smiled beautifully, her words carrying a hint of sarcasm.

Xia Wanwan never expected that such a private matter would be known by Fu Mingyan. She finally understood why she was panicking, because Fu Mingyan's mouth was not reliable at all and she could say anything.

The fact that she dared to say these things to my face means that she has already told more people about this!

In an instant, Xia Wanwan felt a chill run through her body. For a moment, she felt as if all her strength had been drained away, and her eyes were filled with coldness.

"Miss Fu, you've misunderstood. There's absolutely no such thing. Please don't spread rumors; it will only cause me a lot of unnecessary trouble," Xia Wanwan said coldly and seriously, reminding Fu Mingyan.

Fu Mingyan didn't care at all: "I heard your father say it with my own ears, how could it be false? Xia Luoluo has seduced Brother Nan Xiao quite a bit before, wanting to take your place. She used to make all sorts of things for Brother Nan Xiao every few days, and fawn over him. She must have had the same intention, right?"

"Honestly, what's the point of arguing with me here? You'd be better off spending some time guarding against your own sister."

Every word he uttered almost crushed Xia Wanwan into the dust.

Heard it with your own ears?

Xia Wanwan was trembling violently. This kind of thing was already extremely embarrassing, and it was impossible for it to be spread to outsiders.

The things the Xia family did were almost all underhanded, and Xia Wanwan was always worried that outsiders would find out about them. So even though she knew that their methods were despicable and that she had suffered a great injustice, Xia Wanwan would swallow her anger for the sake of her reputation.

Fu Mingyan's words were more than just a slap in the face; they made everyone think that the girls in her family were promiscuous and willing to do anything to climb the social ladder, even violating ethics and having two women share one husband.

If word gets out that this happened, her whole family will be laughed at for the rest of their lives.

At this moment, Xia Wanwan was trembling with fear. She could no longer bear this blow. Although she was very scared, she could only force a smile and say, "Miss Fu, I know you hate me, but please don't talk nonsense about this."

“I have a recording. Do you want to confront me face to face? Everyone knows about your family’s mess. If you can steal Xia Ningxi’s husband, your sister will naturally steal your husband too. You and Xia Luoluo were born from the same mother, so you must be the same kind of people.” Fu Mingyan argued logically.

Xia Wanwan suddenly stepped forward and gripped Fu Mingyan's hand tightly: "You recorded it?"

"Yes, that's because I'm afraid you won't acknowledge the recording. So what? Is that not allowed?" Fu Mingyan had an arrogant "what can you do about it?" attitude.

Ji Feibai, standing nearby, was already covering his forehead: How could this little brat be so stupid? She did something bad and still dared to say it out loud. Isn't this just forcing Xia Wanwan to cause her trouble?

Ji Feibai quickly coughed at Fu Mingyan and winked, signaling her to stop talking.

But Fu Mingyan didn't even look at him. Instead, she arrogantly said to Xia Wanwan, "Why are you arresting me? You've done so many shameful things, are you afraid of people finding out?"

Duan Rongrong: "I never expected Xia Wenhe to agree to something so outrageous. He's a man, how could he allow his two daughters to marry the same man at the same time?"

"No, you're wrong. It's not marriage, it's having his children without any status or recognition. He's become addicted to being a mistress, taking one woman after another." Fu Mingyan laughed heartily.

Xia Wanwan was so angry she almost fainted.

Fu Xiyu rushed up and slapped Fu Mingyan, threatening her sharply, "Shut up."

Fu Mingyan was stunned by the blow, her eyes wide: "Brother, you hit me?"

“If I don’t hit you, you won’t even know you’re wrong. What kind of occasion is this? There’s a limit to how much nonsense you can spout. It seems your parents have spoiled you and made you lawless. If you keep talking nonsense, don’t blame me for sending you to the police station to reflect on your actions.”

“I’m not making this up, it’s all true. Xia Wenhe said it himself, and Xia Wanwan also knows about it. Xia Wanwan can’t have children, so they discussed making her have one so they could use the child to threaten Brother Nan Xiao.” Fu Mingyan explained through tears, “I have a recording, I have evidence, and I can prove that I’m not making this up.”

She took out her phone to prove to everyone that she was telling the truth, but Huo Nanxiao took the phone away as soon as she took it out.

Without saying a word, he smashed the phone to pieces.

Fu Mingyan's eyes reddened: "Brother Nanxiao, what are you doing?"

Huo Nanxiao didn't reply to her, but said to Ye Su, "Go and buy a new phone, the most expensive one."

"Okay." Ye Su nodded and immediately went to make the arrangements.

After Ye Su left, Huo Nanxiao said to Fu Mingyan, "Choose whatever gift you like, I'll reimburse you, but don't let me hear what you just said again."

Fu Mingyan cried even louder, "You've gone too far! I wasn't lying! Why did you smash my phone!"

"I don't want anyone discussing my relationship with Wanwan, not even you." Huo Nanxiao raised his voice, warning, "Don't let me hear any more talk about Xia Wanwan, or you'll face the consequences."

This was not only said to Fu Mingyan, but also to the other guests present.

Fu Mingyan had already spread the word about this matter far and wide, and almost all the guests who came today had heard about it, and they were all discussing how shameless and morally reprehensible the Xia family was.

But when Huo Nanxiao spoke, they all fell silent. They all understood that Huo Nanxiao was using Fu Mingyan as an example to warn everyone.

Fu Mingyan is the eldest daughter of the Fu family and grew up with Huo Nanxiao. If she could be treated like this by Huo Nanxiao, who knows how serious the consequences would be if it were someone else.

In an instant, the entire banquet hall fell eerily quiet. All eyes were fixed on Huo Nanxiao and Fu Mingyan, and no one dared to utter a single word, fearing that Huo Nanxiao would overhear them.

The matter was not discussed until after the banquet ended and everyone had left.

Outside the hotel, guests who were walking out were whispering amongst themselves.

Guest 1: "Is what Fu Mingyan said true or false? Are the two Xia sisters really going to have children with Young Master Huo together?"

Guest 2: "Who knows? But Xia Wanwan has been sick for so many years, it's really possible that she can't have children. She's a mistress who rose to power, and she must be very scared without children to rely on."

Guest 3: "The Xia family members all looked very unhappy when Xia Ningxi came back this time. It seemed like they didn't want Xia Ningxi to come back. I guess they were afraid that Xia Ningxi and Young Master Huo would rekindle their old relationship?"

"Xia Ningxi is beautiful, younger than Xia Wanwan, capable and resourceful, and deeply favored by Master Huo. Most importantly, she has given birth to three children for the Huo family. How could Xia Wanwan possibly compare to Xia Ningxi?"

"For the sake of the child, she had no choice but to take a risk and let her own sister get pregnant with her husband's child."

"This family is really outrageous. They're capable of anything. I don't know why Huo Nanxiao would fall for someone like Xia Wanwan. How are we any less attractive than Xia Wanwan? In terms of looks and family background, we're miles ahead of her. Has Huo Nanxiao been bewitched?"

The guests chatted amongst themselves, all wondering what was going on.

Xia Ningxi hadn't gone far. She and Ling Xiao had just gone up to the top floor to see the night view. They left after the observation lights were turned off, just in time for Zhou Fenglin's birthday banquet to end. When she came out, she took the elevator with many other people, and she could hear many people gossiping about Xia Wanwan in the elevator.

She was surprised; how could these people know about such a private matter?

Afraid of being recognized, she lowered her head and huddled in a corner, quietly eavesdropping.

Guest: "The Xia family's attitude is really ugly. They were showing off all night, acting like they'd climbed into a wealthy and powerful family. Now they've become a laughing stock in everyone's eyes."

"Exactly, it's hilarious. Huo Nanxiao even dared to touch Fu Mingyan to protect Xia Wanwan. That woman's mouth is like a machine gun. We usually don't dare to offend her. Fu Mingyan has been wronged this time, and she will definitely take revenge on Xia Wanwan tenfold. Xia Wanwan is going to be in trouble."

The group laughed, then quickly left after the door opened.

Xia Ningxi followed behind them, eavesdropping the whole way, until they went to the garage before stopping.

"Looks like there's a lot of juicy gossip to come today," Ling Xiao said casually.

Xia Ningxi said, "You actually care about these things too."

"Which of them has a child is none of my business. My only concern is you. It seems many people hope you can remarry Huo Nanxiao and squeeze Xia Wanwan out. Do you have any thoughts on that?" Ling Xiao asked curiously.

Xia Ningxi raised her head, her beautiful eyes shining brightly: "You asked the wrong question. Even if I have feelings for him, Huo Nanxiao might not. Didn't you hear? He didn't even care about Fu Mingyan, who grew up with him, for Xia Wanwan, and even took action against her. That shows how deep his feelings are for Xia Wanwan."

“That would be best. I was worried that he might suddenly realize his mistake and come back to you, which would put me in a very passive position,” Ling Xiao said.

Xia Ningxi assumed he was joking and changed the subject: "You must have a lot of work to finish after being out all day. You should go back first. I want to meet up with my friends."

"Which friend?" Ling Xiao asked.

Xia Ningxi: "You've just met Chu Xinran."

"Okay, here are the car keys. I'll take a taxi to the hotel." He handed the car keys to Xia Ningxi and then randomly hailed a taxi on the roadside.

Chu Xinran spotted Xia Ningxi in the crowd at a glance. She ran over quickly in her high heels, very excited: "Ningxi, I'm here!"

"Let's go," Xia Ningxi said with a smile.

Chu Xinran got into her car, looked around, and exclaimed with envy, "Your car is a rare find, it's so expensive! When did you buy it!"

“This isn’t my car, it belongs to Ling Xiao,” Xia Ningxi replied.

Chu Xinran: "Is this guy really that rich?"

"The richest man in Lingcheng, what do you think?" Xia Ningxi retorted.

Chu Xinran exclaimed with admiration, "My God, you're the richest man! How come you're surrounded by so many wealthy people? I'm so envious! No wonder the Xia family looked like they'd eaten shit all night. It turns out you found such a rich partner. They must be so angry they'd die!"
