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 873 Are you blind? I've broken my bones.
The seemingly insignificant interaction caught the attention of many people.
Huo Jinchuan frowned, staring at Xia Ningxi interacting with the handsome young men from afar, too shocked to utter a single word.
"Does the Huo family know she's playing such a shrewd game?" Han Musen mocked.
Huo Jinchuan took a sip of his drink, feigning composure. "There's nothing wrong with that, is there? Who goes out with one or two female companions?"
“We’re men, she’s a woman, how can we be the same? Besides, she ordered four male models by herself, no one in the whole bar is as promiscuous as her.” Even Han Musen, as a man, couldn’t stand it.
Huo Jinchuan gave a forced smile, "They paid for it, so they can do whatever they want. If I remember correctly, you spent even more money before."
"I've noticed you're also being a bit too protective of Xia Ningxi," Han Musen said, somewhat angrily.
Huo Jinchuan: "No, I just want to tell you that men can pay to find women outside, and women can also pay to find men. This is a very normal thing, and you shouldn't verbally humiliate someone just because of their gender."
"Heh, if Huo Xiuyuan and Huo Nanxiao knew that she was dating a bunch of men outside, they probably would never let her step into the Huo family again. No wonder Huo Nanxiao was willing to do anything to divorce her; she really is a promiscuous woman."
Han Musen looked down on Xia Ningxi and had been hurt by her several times, so he harbored a deep resentment towards her.
He suddenly stood up and walked towards Xia Ningxi.
"Where are you going?" Huo Jinchuan had a bad feeling.
Han Musen: "Since we finally get to meet, we should naturally catch up properly."
Ignoring Huo Jinchuan's attempts to stop him, he kicked aside the handsome young man who was squatting beside Xia Ningxi massaging her, and sat down next to her like a bandit, saying, "Long time no see."
"Young Master Han," Chu Xinran exclaimed in panic.
Han Musen didn't even glance at her, and said to Xia Ningxi with interest, "Since you're so free, why don't you have a couple of drinks with me?"
"I'm allergic to alcohol, so I must abstain from drinking." Xia Ningxi said very politely.
Han Musen glanced at the half-empty glass of beer on the table: "I don't believe you unless you finish this whole glass."
"I don't need to prove anything to you," Xia Ningxi said coldly.
Are you kidding me? This guy wants her to drink with him? He should take a piss and look in the mirror to see what kind of person he is.
If there hadn't been so many people around, she would have thrown all the wine in Han Musen's face.
"You dare refuse me? Do you really think you're still the eldest daughter-in-law of the Huo family?" Han Musen questioned angrily.
Xia Ningxi rolled her eyes: "If Young Master Han wants to drink, he can drink by himself."
"What if I insist you drink today?" Han Musen narrowed his eyes dangerously. He stopped the passing deliveryman and placed the bottle in front of Xia Ningxi. "I'm giving you face by letting you drink. I advise you to be sensible."
Chu Xinran immediately grabbed the red wine on the table and drank it all in one gulp, full of apology: "I'm sorry, Young Master Han, Ning Xi really can't drink it. I'll drink with you."
"Get lost." Han Musen uttered a single word, neither too loud nor too soft.
Chu Xinran blushed with embarrassment.
Xia Ningxi remained calm and asked lazily, "Didn't Young Master Han take his medicine before going out today? He's in such a good mood. Drink more hot water when you get back."
Han Musen was amused and mocked her, "Now that Huo Nanxiao is no longer protecting you, you are nothing. How dare you talk like that? Don't you want your life?"
Xia Ningxi ignored him, simply because she didn't want to talk to him.
The more indifferent she seemed, the more interested Han Musen became in her. He poured a glass of wine and brought it to Xia Ningxi's lips, ordering, "Drink."
Xia Ningxi met his eyes: "I don't want to. Do you really want me to drink it?"
Han Musen chuckled, the corners of his mouth curling up in a threatening manner, his intentions precise.
Xia Ningxi took the wine glass from his hand and drank it all in one gulp. She saw smugness and a strange sense of conquest in Han Musen's smile. It seemed that humiliating Xia Ningxi was a very fulfilling thing for him, and his vanity was greatly satisfied.
However, just as Han Musen was feeling smug, Xia Ningxi sprayed all the wine in her mouth onto his face.
Whoosh—
In an instant, Han Musen's face was completely wet.
Those around her were also shocked by her action, staring wide-eyed in disbelief.
Chu Xinran was so frightened that she immediately grabbed Xia Ningxi's hand and whispered in fear, "Are you crazy? He's Han Musen! How dare you spit wine in his face!"
"Haha." Xia Ningxi couldn't stop laughing.
Chu Xinran's heart was pounding so hard she didn't know what had gotten into Xia Ningxi.
The person involved was equally shocked. As the eldest son of the Han family and the CEO of a listed group, Han Musen never dreamed that Xia Ningxi would dare to do such a thing. He didn't even have time to react.
"You! You!" He was so angry that he was trembling all over and almost couldn't catch his breath.
Xia Ningxi grasped the finger he was pointing at and said calmly, "I'm sorry, I drank too much and couldn't help throwing up. Young Master Han is magnanimous and surely won't hold a grudge against a little ant like me, right? If you dare to lay a hand on me, I'll call for help. It's shameful for a grown man to hit a woman."
That was the last thing he said; it nearly made Han Musen choke. He wiped his face and ordered fiercely, "Men, drag her out of here."
Upon hearing this, several bodyguards in black suddenly appeared and rushed towards Xia Ningxi.
Huo Jinchuan quickly stepped in front of Xia Ningxi and said to Han Musen, "Don't be angry, so many people are watching."
"What are you doing? Get out of my way." Han Musen was furious. How could he not see that Huo Jinchuan wanted to protect her?
Huo Jinchuan: "She was hired back to China by the Ling family at great expense, and she's Lin Jiangbei's attending physician. Do you want to go against the Ling family? Huo Nanxiao is already enough of a headache for you. If the Ling family comes along, how will you survive?"
"Hmph, she's just a dog that the Ling family pays to keep. Even without her, someone else will still treat Lin Jiangbei's illness. I'm going to teach her a lesson today. Even if the Heavenly King himself comes, it won't make a difference!" Han Musen was filled with rage.
Huo Jinchuan's expression was solemn: "But Lingxiao said they are husband and wife."
"You believe that idiot's nonsense? She's just a divorced woman who was dumped by Huo Nanxiao. What's there to be afraid of?" Han Musen completely disregarded Huo Jinchuan's warning.
All he knew was that Xia Ningxi had embarrassed him and even sprayed him in the face; no man could swallow such an insult.
Huo Jinchuan stood in front to prevent the bodyguards from making a move.
Han Musen lost his temper and pushed Huo Jinchuan away. Huo Jinchuan knew he was drunk and tried his best to stop him from getting close to Xia Ningxi, but the guy still made a scene.
Xia Ningxi was already in a bad mood because of what happened today. Seeing that Han Musen still had the nerve to come and cause trouble for her, she sneered: "Huo Jinchuan, get out of the way."
Huo Jinchuan froze, looking at Xia Ningxi in disbelief.
"It's okay." Xia Ningxi gave him a reassuring look.
Huo Jinchuan could only silently make way for him.
"Scared?" Han Musen mocked her.
Xia Ningxi said, "What's so scary about Young Master Han?"
"You still dare to be stubborn even when you're about to die? Without Huo Nanxiao's protection, you're nothing." Han Musen picked up a bottle of red wine and was about to pour the whole bottle into Xia Ningxi's mouth.
Xia Ningxi grasped his hand and took the bottle: "I can drink it myself."
"You're smart to know what's good for you." Han Musen was quite satisfied.
Bang--
Xia Ningxi threw the wine bottle directly into the trash can.
The smile in Han Musen's eyes instantly turned into anger. Just as he was about to curse, Xia Ningxi smashed another wine bottle over his head.
With a loud crash, the intense pain caused him to groan in agony, and his eyes turned red.
Xia Ningxi glanced at the still unbroken wine bottle in her hand and said dejectedly, "Oh dear, what a pity. As expected of the eldest young master of the Han family, his skull is harder than that of ordinary people. I'll have to use more force next time."
"Xia Ningxi!" Han Musen gritted his teeth, his furious roar deafening.
The person involved looked completely innocent: "I could hear you. Young Master Han, there's no need to be so angry. If you think my blow just now wasn't strong enough, I can hit you on the head a few more times. However, I can't say whether I can keep your head next time."
She spoke the most innocent words in the gentlest voice.
Han Musen felt a powerful surge of anger rising fiercely in his chest. In that instant, he had only one thought: to kill Xia Ningxi!
A murderous aura instantly filled the air, and he attacked Xia Ningxi almost without thinking.
Xia Ningxi had drunk some wine today, and she had also suffered some anger at the Xia family's birthday banquet. At this moment, she had nowhere to vent her anger. Her beautiful eyes were fixed on Han Musen's hand, and when no one was paying attention, she quickly grabbed his hand back.
Crack—
A crisp sound was followed by a painful groan.
"I'm so sorry I broke my bone," Xia Ningxi said, feigning apology.
Everyone around was stunned. Even Huo Jinchuan, who was well-informed, was shocked by this scene. He knew that Xia Ningxi had some skills, but he did not expect that Xia Ningxi would be so ruthless.
Looking at Han Musen's hands, which were now in an irregular shape and whose face was contorted in pain, Huo Jinchuan forced a smile and pretended to be worried: "Young Master Han, you look very unwell."
"Are you blind? My hand is broken!" Han Musen cursed.
Huo Jinchuan said, "Then you need to see a doctor immediately."
"What are you waiting for, see a doctor? Arrest this damned woman! I'm going to teach her a lesson today!" Han Musen shook off Huo Jinchuan and ordered the bodyguards behind him.
The bodyguards dared not disobey and quickly pounced on Xia Ningxi.
The guests at the table were so frightened that they all stood up and ran away. Chu Xinran was also frightened and hurriedly pulled Xia Ningxi away.
"Grab her!" Han Musen roared.
The bar was crowded. Chu Xinran and Xia Ningxi had only run a few meters when they were separated by oncoming customers. By the time Chu Xinran got up from the ground, several bodyguards from the Han family had already rushed over, but Xia Ningxi had already disappeared.
Han Musen immediately called the bodyguards who were on duty 24 hours a day outside the bar and ordered the bar's entrances and exits to be sealed off immediately.
Xia Ningxi was visiting this bar for the first time, so she wasn't sure how to get out. By the time she found the exit, it was already filled with Han Musen's men.
"Over there!" Someone recognized Xia Ningxi at a glance and rushed towards her.
Xia Ningxi turned to run away, but bumped into a hard wall of flesh. She stumbled backward in pain and almost fell. When she turned around, she found that the few fierce-looking men had run up behind her and were about to attack her, but for some reason they stopped.
