Chapter 977 So angry he almost died

"Nan Xiao, can you come and see me?" Xia Wanwan's voice trembled slightly, probably because she knew that Huo Nan Xiao didn't want to see her right now, but Xia Wanwan felt that she couldn't go on living like this anymore.

She said, "My father has a lot of opinions about me, and Lolo is also angry. Now I can only live in the house you bought in the suburbs, all alone, and I'm a little scared."

Huo Nanxiao: "I'll send two bodyguards over to accompany you."

"Bodyguard?" Xia Wanwan was clearly taken aback.

Huo Nanxiao: "Aren't you scared?"

"I hope you can come and keep me company." Xia Wanwan's lips trembled slightly.

Huo Nanxiao said with a serious expression, "I'm busy."

"Isn't today the weekend? I thought you were off." Xia Wanwan's voice carried a hint of disappointment.

She had actually inquired about Huo Nanxiao's news earlier and knew that Huo Nanxiao was not at work today. She also learned from a familiar reporter that Huo Nanxiao was off today, and that Xia Ningxi had also come to the capital, supposedly for a vacation.

Xia Wanwan knew very well that Xia Ningxi was so busy with work that she often stayed in the laboratory for a week without coming out. How could she possibly have time for a vacation?

Xia Ningxi must still have feelings for Huo Nanxiao, which is why she took this opportunity to come to the capital and use their relationship to rekindle their romance.

Xia Wanwan knew that it was shameless of her to ruin Xia Ningxi's marriage, but she had already married Huo Nanxiao and didn't want to be divorced by him and become a discarded pawn. Most importantly, she had feelings for Huo Nanxiao and hoped that he could care more about her.

Having thought this through, she made up her mind and asked Huo Nanxiao earnestly, "Since you're busy, can I come to see you?"

"I'm at the Huo family's old residence; it's not appropriate for you to come," Huo Nanxiao replied.

Xia Wanwan smiled bitterly: "Yes, Uncle Huo doesn't like me. If I go to the Huo family, he will definitely be angry. I'm sorry, I was just being delusional. I shouldn't have caused you trouble."

She lowered her head, saying apologetic words, but tears streamed down her face without holding back.

"Stop crying." Huo Nanxiao's face darkened, his tone carrying a hint of displeasure.

Xia Wanwan wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes. "I'm sorry."

“If you don’t want to be alone, go back to the Xia family,” Huo Nanxiao said.

Xia Wanwan shook her head, "No, they probably don't want me to go back and disturb their lives."

"They are all your family, how can you say you're bothering them?" Huo Nanxiao retorted.

Xia Wanwan: "I have already told my father about our divorce. He is very angry and has scolded me a lot because of this. He does not approve of my divorce. If I go back now, I will inevitably be scolded by him."

"Understood. You get some rest. I'll send someone over to keep you company in a bit," Huo Nanxiao said.

Xia Wanwan understood what he meant and knew that he wouldn't come to see her. Something seemed to be stuck in her throat, and she couldn't say a word.

She exchanged a few more pleasantries with Huo Nanxiao with reluctance, but Huo Nanxiao didn't have much time or mood to pay attention to her. She understood Huo Nanxiao's attitude and silently hung up the video call.

Huo Nanxiao sent Ye Su a text message, asking her to bring some gifts to keep Xia Wanwan company.

Ye Su was speechless when she received the order. She thought to herself, "I'm the chief secretary, but I have to go and coax a mistress!"

No wonder she's happy!

But in order to keep her job, Ye Su couldn't say anything and could only bite the bullet and do as Huo Nanxiao instructed.

Xia Wanwan didn't want to see Huo Nanxiao at all, and even if Ye Su went to accompany her, she wouldn't be happy.

Xia Wanwan was quiet for no more than two hours before she sent a message to Huo Nanxiao again. When she didn't get a response, she simply sent a message to Xia Ningxi instead.

To be honest, Xia Ningxi had no desire to get involved in their messy affairs, so of course she wouldn't reply to Xia Wanwan.

Xia Ningxi ate dinner at the Huo family's house. Perhaps because of Xia Wanwan, she didn't have much of an appetite. She casually ate a few bites of vegetables and then put down her chopsticks.

Qu Huilan noticed this and asked softly, "Is it because the food today is not to your liking?"

"No, I'm not hungry," Xia Ningxi denied.

Qu Huilan said, "Would you like some dessert?"

"Okay," Xia Ningxi agreed.

Soon the kitchen brought out a refreshing dessert filled with taro balls and lots of crunchy peanuts. It looked delicious, but Xia Ningxi only ate a few bites before she didn't want to move anymore.

Huo Xiuyuan could tell that her bad mood was probably caused by those women outside, but he couldn't do anything about it and could only let Huo Nanxiao be.

However, Huo Xiuyuan would not go back on his promise to Xia Ningxi. He said to Xia Ningxi, "Tomorrow you and Lao Liu go to the Huo family's company. While you're there, take the children with you to get a feel for it. The Huo family will need them to manage it in the future, so it's good for them to familiarize themselves with their own company beforehand."

"Dad, the children are still young, there's no rush," Xia Ningxi politely declined.

Huo Xiuyuan said, "You may not be in a hurry, but there are plenty of people who are. Xia Luoluo has already started scheming for the Huo family's things even before her child has been born. You should also prepare early."

Huo Xiuyuan isn't that old, and he's full of energy. He could live for at least several more decades. People like him really hate it when others bring up the Huo family's inheritance, since he's still alive and well.

But he knew what Xia Luoluo was planning, and in order to prevent any unnecessary thoughts from arising, Huo Xiuyuan had to make plans early.

He knew that Xia Ningxi could provide a good life for the three children on her own, but no matter how well Xia Ningxi did, it couldn't compare to the Huo family's vast wealth. Only when all of this wealth fell on his grandchildren could Huo Xiuyuan feel at ease, at least ensuring that the three children would have no worries about food and clothing in the future.

“Ning Xi, I know you don’t want the benefits from the Huo family, and I know you are a person with backbone, but I’m getting old, and I feel sorry for these children. I can’t just stand by and watch them lose everything and potentially suffer in the future.”

"I will make arrangements for the children regarding the Huo family's assets that can be distributed to them in advance. You don't need to interfere; I will handle everything."

Huo Xiuyuan's attitude was very firm and brooked no refusal.

Xia Ningxi didn't know what to say, so she could only thank him, "Thank you, Dad."

"You and the child can stay at the old house tonight," Huo Xiuyuan said before going upstairs.

Not long after, Lao Liu arrived at the Huo family home with five lawyers.

The Huo family has too many properties to be sorted out in a short time, so Huo Xiuyuan had some fixed assets found, including ten villas, an island, and twenty-one large apartments, which were divided equally among the three children.

The lawyers also completed the notarization for the children as soon as possible.

Xia Ningxi hadn't calculated the value of these assets; she had only heard that the island was a private island that Huo Xiuyuan had bought abroad for 7.9 billion ten years ago. After ten years of development, it had become a famous tourist attraction, and its value was immeasurable.

With all three children still young and Xia Ningxi busy, she simply didn't have time to manage them. So Huo Xiuyuan found a professional manager for the children to manage these businesses for them.

At the same time, the news was widely publicized.

Upon hearing of Huo Xiuyuan's extravagant gesture, the Xia family members were so angry they nearly died.
