Chapter 970 Your own stomach is useless

Huo Xiuyuan's words left Xia Wenhe and his family completely bewildered. The Huo family's vast fortune was being given to these three children? Why should they?

Why would Xia Luoluo go through all that trouble to get pregnant and have a child? Isn't it just to inherit the Huo family's assets? Even if she doesn't get any shares in the Huo family, she should still get a considerable share of the profits, right?

Is Huo Xiuyuan not willing to give them a single penny?

Xia Wenhe was completely distraught, but as an elder, he couldn't afford to lose his temper in public. He could also tell from the current situation that Huo Xiuyuan was deliberately saying this to prevent them from coveting anything from the Huo family.

After careful consideration, Xia Wenhe realized that protecting the child's identity and status was the most important thing at this time. As long as Huo Nanxiao acknowledged that the child was his, there would be plenty of opportunities in the coming decades.

Thinking of this, Xia Wenhe secretly gave Xia Luoluo a look, reminding her not to cause trouble at this time.

Even though Xia Luoluo was extremely dissatisfied, she couldn't show it at this moment. She bit her lip and looked at the harmonious scene in front of her, the flames of jealousy in her heart burning brighter and brighter.

Huo Xiuyuan noticed the subtle changes in the family and said with a smile, "In the future, everything in the Huo family will be inherited by these three children. You won't have any objections, will you?"

"Uncle Huo is joking. How could we dare to have any objections to the Huo family's affairs?" Xia Luoluo forced a smile.

Huo Xiuyuan: "You all seem rather unhappy. It seems I was overthinking things."

Xia Luoluo's voice went hoarse.

Xia Wenhe gave an awkward smile and said, "Now that this matter has been settled, the Xia family will handle the rest."

Huo Xiuyuan said, "Do as you please, but I haven't promised you anything today. I can't control what you say to the media, but you'd better not let me know that you're talking nonsense outside."

"I understand." Xia Wenhe knew what was going on.

Huo Xiuyuan: "Nan Xiao, see the guest out."

Huo Nanxiao saw them off at the door.

Xia Wenhe was in a good mood and said to Huo Nanxiao, "Now that Luo Luo is pregnant with your child, you should make time to visit her more often in the future."

"You should go." Huo Nanxiao said impatiently, not taking Xia Wenhe's reminder to heart.

Xia Wenhe was unhappy and got into the car in a huff.

As for Xia Luoluo, she wanted to talk to Huo Nanxiao, but when she thought about how she had gotten the child she was carrying by scheming against Huo Nanxiao, she was afraid that he would kill her, so she quickly took off running away.

Left alone, Xia Wanwan was caught in a dilemma: whether to stay or leave. All she could do was apologize: "I'm sorry, I couldn't stop this from happening."

"Is this the result you wanted?" Huo Nanxiao asked in return.

Xia Wanwan shook her head: "No."

Huo Nanxiao said, "Isn't transferring the child to your name a plan you two had discussed long ago?"

Xia Wanwan looked at Huo Nanxiao in disbelief: "Are you suspecting me of colluding with them?"

"You really knew nothing about what your own sister did?" Huo Nanxiao asked.

Xia Wanwan: "I know she's obsessed with marrying into a wealthy family, but I never expected her to do something like this. I didn't instruct her to do it. How could I let my own sister climb into my husband's bed? I'm not that kind of person."

Huo Nanxiao said, "I hope what you're saying is true."

Xia Wanwan was startled, and tears welled up in her eyes instantly: "You doubt me? You know how I feel about you. How could I tolerate another woman sharing my husband? This was all Xia Luoluo's own doing. It really has nothing to do with me. Don't you even trust me anymore?"

Her hoarse voice was choked with sobs; she clearly hadn't expected Huo Nanxiao to think of her so maliciously, and she was deeply shocked.

Huo Nanxiao's patience with her had almost worn off. He didn't want to waste time on Xia Wanwan. He glanced at the car parked outside and said, "You should go back."

"Nan Xiao." Xia Wanwan grabbed Huo Nan Xiao, who was about to turn and leave, and looked at him with teary eyes: "Do you really want to accept the child in Luo Luo's belly?"

Huo Nanxiao said, "Isn't this the result you wanted?"

“No, this is not what I want to see. I don’t want this child to come into the world either, but Luo Luo is already pregnant, and I can’t do anything about it. You know how difficult life is for me in the Xia family. If I don’t give in to their demands, our whole family will never have peace,” Xia Wanwan explained.

Huo Nanxiao said, "I'm not interested in your family affairs. As for the child, if you want to raise it after it's born, I won't stop you. I've said before that I will divorce you, and you should figure out the child's future upbringing yourselves."

Xia Wanwan frowned: "You're not going to do anything about it?"

Huo Nanxiao said, "Why should I care?"

After saying this, Huo Nanxiao left without looking back, walking away with great nonchalance.

Xia Wanwan could tell that he was completely fed up with the Xia family, including herself.

In the current situation, it seems that the Xia family has gained an advantage, but what is the reality? None of the Huo family members have given them a definite answer, nor are they willing to offer any benefits.

The birth of Xia Luoluo may not bring glory to the Xia family; in fact, she might become a burden to the entire family.

This idea took root in Xia Wanwan's heart, and she got into the Xia family's car with a heavy heart.

Xia Wenhe asked worriedly, "What did Huo Nanxiao say to you?"

Xia Wanwan replied, "He is very unhappy and doesn't like the child in Luo Luo's belly. Perhaps he won't care about the child after it's born."

Xia Wenhe snorted coldly: "As long as it's his own child, it's none of his business to ignore her. This charade is over for today. When I get back, I'll immediately hold a press conference to announce Luo Luo's pregnancy. That way, who will dare to look down on our family in the future?"

Xia Wanwan looked worried: "Father, I think it's inappropriate. This matter should not be publicized. What if, what if the Huo family doesn't approve of the child? You've seen Huo Xiuyuan's attitude. He's already very dissatisfied with us. If we make a big fuss about this before the child is even born, it will only make Huo Xiuyuan dislike us even more."

Xia Luoluo laughed out loud, looking at Xia Wanwan with interest, and said, "Sister, you're so unwilling because you don't want anyone to know I'm pregnant with Huo Nanxiao's child, right? Heh, this child will call you 'Auntie' in the future, and once he has a bright future, he certainly won't treat you badly. But why are you so stingy? What good does it do you to target me?"

Xia Wanwan's face turned cold: "I'm not targeting you."

"No? Then why did you go to Xia Ningxi? Didn't you just want to use Xia Ningxi to get rid of me? We're family, only I can be your support. You can't even get pregnant yourself, and you won't allow someone else to get pregnant first?" Xia Luoluo said rudely.
