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 963 You all brought this on yourselves.
Xia Wenhe was almost carried away with his pride, his face beaming with uncontrollable joy. He had been waiting for this day for far too long. Seeing Huo Nanxiao take advantage of Xia Luoluo without saying a word, Xia Wenhe had even thought that their good days were over.
Unexpectedly, Xia Luoluo was so determined to get pregnant on her first try. Now, it's impossible for Huo Nanxiao to hide away like a coward anymore.
Xia Wenhe was overjoyed. When he arrived at the Huo family's gate and saw the magnificent and luxurious manor in front of him, he felt a pang of jealousy and bitterness. If only he could be like the Huo family, living in a big villa, driving a top-of-the-line luxury car, having endless money to spend every day, and not having to work.
Xia Wenhe was well aware of his own abilities. He knew that he could never achieve the success of the Huo family in ten lifetimes through his own efforts, nor did he have such a good business mind. But fortunately, his daughter was smart, capable, and courageous.
The Huo family has been stingy all these years. They have so many profitable projects, but they not only refuse to let Xia Wenhe do them, they also casually hand them over to outsiders!
If Huo Nanxiao were willing to squeeze a little more out of them, the Xia family wouldn't be looked down upon so much by high society, and their lives would be much better.
But now...
Xia Wenhe's eyes were full of calculation as he said to the driver, "Go and ring the doorbell."
"Okay." The driver quickly unbuckled his seatbelt and went to ring the doorbell, but no one responded. Even the security guard standing outside the door just glanced at him indifferently, showing no intention of paying any attention.
Xia Wenhe was extremely dissatisfied with such a cold attitude. He sat in the car and sneered, "They've already lost all face, and they still have the nerve to act tough in front of us. Do they really think they can do whatever they want just because they have some money?"
Sitting in the back row, Xia Luoluo said, "How about I knock on the door?"
Xia Wenhe refused, saying, "You're pregnant; there's no need for you to do this kind of thing."
Then, Xia Wenhe looked at Xia Wanwan, whose face had been looking rather pale, and said, "Wanwan, go ring the doorbell. You are now Huo Nanxiao's wife. Even if Huo Xiuyuan doesn't acknowledge it, it won't change your status. They will give you some face because of Huo Nanxiao."
"I don't want to go," Xia Wanwan immediately refused.
Xia Wenhe said, "If you don't go, are you going to let your pregnant sister go? The sun is so strong outside, what if she gets sunburned? Do you think you can afford to do that?"
“This little bit of sun won’t kill anyone. Besides, you’re the ones who want to see Huo Xiuyuan, so why should I ring the doorbell? Dad knows Huo Xiuyuan doesn’t like me. What if I go there now and get beaten up?” Xia Wanwan asked.
Xia Wenhe said, "Your health isn't good, so Huo Xiuyuan wouldn't dare do anything to you. Just relax and talk things out; it'll be good for everyone."
"I'm not going!" Xia Wanwan's attitude was very firm.
Xia Wenhe's face immediately turned cold: "Wanwan, don't be ungrateful."
Xia Wanwan's hands clenched tighter and tighter. She was furious, but helpless. Looking at the security guards standing outside the car door, Xia Wanwan could clearly feel their strange gazes directed at her. These looks made her very uncomfortable. Her eyes reddened, but in the end, she suppressed the bitterness in her heart and got out of the car.
The security guard was very cold towards Xia Wanwan, and when she reached out to press the doorbell, he reminded her, "Miss Xia, our master does not want to see you."
Xia Wanwan's hand froze in mid-air. She bit her lip and pressed the doorbell several times.
Hearing the doorbell ring, Huo Xiuyuan, who was inside the villa, did not go out to check. Instead, he casually tended to the potted plants at home.
Qu Huilan held a plum blossom in her hand, trimming the excess branches and leaves with scissors, and asked, "The Xia family has come knocking on our door, what are your plans?"
Huo Xiuyuan placed the trimmed bouquet into the vase, fiddling with it from side to side. His expression seemed alright, but his eyes held only icy coldness. "Let it air dry for now."
Qu Huilan said, "If we keep letting them stay outside, it might cause more trouble. Let's let them in and hear what they have to say, and see what these people want to do."
Huo Xiuyuan sneered: "We've already given this family everything we could, but they're still insatiable. It's probably impossible for them to give us money this time. What they want is the entire Huo family."
"No way?" Qu Huilan was shocked.
Huo Xiuyuan said, "What's so shocking? What wouldn't this family do? They went to such lengths to drive Ning Xi and the child away, while they themselves tried every means to have children for Nan Xiao. Isn't it all just to covet the Huo family's wealth?"
Qu Huilan said, "I heard that Xia Luoluo recently went to the hospital, specifically to the obstetrics and gynecology department. I'm really worried."
Huo Xiuyuan felt very heavy-hearted. He listened impatiently to the doorbell ringing outside, and then checked the time. Huo Nanxiao, that unfilial son, had not returned yet, leaving him to deal with this mess. That bastard was truly despicable.
Huo Xiuyuan grew angrier the more he thought about it, and he yelled at the butler, "Bring those bastards in."
"Yes, sir." The butler immediately withdrew.
Xia Wanwan's face lit up with joy when she saw the housekeeper arrive. She greeted him politely, "Hello, Uncle Housekeeper. Is Nan Xiao home? I'd like to come in and see him."
The butler said, "Young Master Huo is not here."
Xia Wanwan said, "Is Mr. Huo at home? We have important matters to discuss today, so it's fine if Mr. Huo is at home."
The butler glanced at Xia Wenhe and Xia Luoluo in the car, then looked away and said, "Miss Wanwan, I hope you know what you can and cannot do."
"I understand." Xia Wanwan forced a smile.
Butler: "So, do you still want to go in?"
Xia Wanwan paused, speechless for a moment.
Xia Wenhe and Xia Luoluo happened to overhear this, and the two immediately got out of the car.
Xia Wenhe walked ahead with his head held high and a hint of arrogance in his voice: "What are you doing here, a mere steward, gossiping? Wanwan is Huo Nanxiao's wife, and the Huo family is her home. Does she need to ask for your opinion, a servant, before she can return to her own home?"
"Lolo, let's go inside. I want to see who dares to stop us."
Xia Wenhe walked at the front, his attitude extremely arrogant, looking down on everyone.
Xia Luoluo followed confidently behind him, relying on her pregnant belly to charge ahead. When someone tried to stop her, she slapped them across the face.
This scene was witnessed by the butler, who remained silent, but Xia Wanwan clearly sensed a change in his demeanor.
Xia Wanwan could only keep apologizing: "I'm sorry."
The housekeeper said, "Miss Wanwan, you shouldn't have come here, and your family shouldn't have come either."
"I'm sorry, I couldn't stop her." Xia Wanwan's voice was hoarse.
The butler said, "If anything happens today, it's all your own fault."
