Chapter 991 Losing Face Completely

Most adults have some sense of pride, let alone a grown man like Huo Nanxiao.

Previously, he had defied all opposition and insisted on marrying Xia Wanwan. He had also disregarded everyone's objections for Xia Wanwan's sake. Huo Nanxiao had also promised everyone that he would never leave Xia Wanwan for the rest of his life.

It's only been a few months? Huo Nanxiao wants a divorce? On what grounds?

Xia Luoluo said, "I think we can't just let Huo Nanxiao get away with this. The Xia family has gotten too little, while Xia Ningxi has gotten too much. She has obtained a private island without doing anything, and the future profits will be better than our family working hard for a lifetime. Huo Xiuyuan can give Xia Ningxi something so valuable, we can't be too bad off."

After saying this, Xia Luoluo's gaze fell on Xia Wanwan: "I know you're good at pretending to be high-minded, but I advise you not to pretend to be high-minded at a time like this. Don't you even know how much money you have in your pocket?"

Xia Ningxi is now a doctor in a top-tier medical team, while you are nothing, naturally relying on Huo Nanxiao for your livelihood. Our family was born into poverty; even if we worked hard our whole lives, we wouldn't be as well off as the tiny bit Huo Nanxiao could scrape together under his fingernails.

Xia Wanwan disagreed with her: "If you want money, can't you earn it yourself? What's wrong with working hard your whole life? At least it's better than watching two people live together."

Xia Luoluo laughed loudly: "You are ridiculous. What era is this? You still naively believe that you can become a superior person just by working hard."

I've worked hard for six years, and even with Huo Nanxiao's help, I still can't establish myself in high society. If it were you, you'd be even less likely to gain a foothold! Have you ever imagined being gossiped about and cursed behind your back? I think you're insane.”

The two held different views.

Xia Wenhe also sided with Xia Luoluo and earnestly advised Xia Wanwan: "What your sister said is the truth, don't disbelieve her. Not getting a divorce is good for the whole family, but if you get a divorce, no one will want you for the rest of your life."

"Forget it, I can't reason with you. You'd better watch yourselves." Xia Wanwan was seething with anger.

Xia Wenhe said, "Why can't we make sense of this? Didn't we tell you that you can't get a divorce? You can't just let Xia Ningxi get away with it, can you? She's just waiting for you to get a divorce so she can remarry Huo Nanxiao. If you back out now, she'll be laughing all the way to the bank."

"If we don't see eye to eye, a word is too much." Xia Wanwan said this and went upstairs angrily.

Xia Luoluo laughed in exasperation, "Does she really think she's some kind of wealthy socialite?"

"Stop talking. Your sister is already upset. Why are you trying to upset her?" Xia Wenhe scolded.

Xia Luoluo: "I'm pregnant, what's wrong with saying a few words to her? Am I not telling the truth? She clearly doesn't understand her place and always thinks she's so high and mighty. Doesn't she even know what she has now? She has nothing, how dare she compare herself to Xia Ningxi?"

Xia Wenhe: "She's always been like this since she was little, there's nothing we can do about it. You're pregnant now, so in order for the child in your belly to be registered in the Huo family, you still have to be patient with Wanwan and not upset her."

“Okay, I’ll try my best. You should try to persuade her. Even if she dies, she can’t divorce Huo Nanxiao,” Xia Luoluo reminded her.

“I know, just focus on your pregnancy,” Xia Wenhe said.

Xia Luoluo: "You've been toned down a bit lately. Perhaps you've been too flamboyant in your behavior outside, which has displeased the Huo family. That's why Huo Nanxiao divorced Xia Wanwan in a fit of anger. We can earn money later; there's no need to rush to earn it now."

"Alright then." Xia Wenhe was not happy, but he didn't want to further anger Huo Nanxiao at this time, so he could only agree.

This incident caused Xia Wanwan great psychological harm. She locked herself in her room, feeling depressed, and it was unclear what she was doing. Fortunately, she did not agree to divorce Huo Nanxiao, and no one in her family bothered her.

On the other hand, Huo Nanxiao, for the sake of company stability, announced the news of his impending divorce. The company's senior management was overjoyed upon hearing this news and became even more motivated to work.

Several of Huo Nanxiao's brothers who had been following his marriage were also very happy, except for Fu Xiyu.

Because of the divorce, Fu Xiyu even came to Huo Nanxiao to make a scene, constantly complaining about Xia Wanwan's hardships and trying to persuade him not to get a divorce. He even wanted to get rid of Xia Wenhe and Xia Luoluo, these two burdens, but Huo Nanxiao rejected this suggestion.

Fu Xiyu didn't understand: "You got divorced because you couldn't stand what the Xia family did, so why can't you help Wanwan completely sever ties with her family? You know Wanwan was forced into it."

“I don’t love her, and divorce won’t do her any harm,” Huo Nanxiao replied.

Fu Xiyu said, "You two were childhood sweethearts. Wanwan's biggest dream in this life was to be with you, to become your wife, and to spend her life with you. How long has it been? If you divorce her now, the whole world will laugh at her."

"Why don't you marry her?" Huo Nanxiao raised his eyes.

Fu Xiyu was taken aback, then said angrily, "I'm not joking with you. You've known Wanwan for many years, and you know how good she is to you. Even if she wasn't the one who saved you back then, you can't treat her like this over such a small matter. Do you like the person who saved you?"

"I wouldn't have married her if I didn't feel indebted to her," Huo Nanxiao replied.

Fu Xiyu: "Have you forgotten what you promised her?"

"So many years have passed, and neither of us is young anymore. Wanwan is a good person. It was my fault for not waiting for her, but she has recovered now, and I have given her enough money. Even if she does nothing now, she can live a peaceful and comfortable life. Compared to Xia Ningxi, she is much better off." Huo Nanxiao's voice was cold.

Fu Xiyu laughed in anger: "What can money do? Wanwan didn't marry you for your money. Don't you know how much she likes you? She married you to spend her life with you. The money you gave her means nothing to her."

"This is all I can give her." Huo Nanxiao looked down at the file, not focusing on the argument with Fu Xiyu, and completely ignoring the matter.

Fu Xiyu was very dissatisfied with this attitude, but he couldn't do anything about Huo Nanxiao, so he left with a belly full of anger.

Sitting in the car, Fu Mingyan saw Fu Xiyu rush out angrily and immediately smiled broadly, asking, "Brother, how is it? Is Brother Nanxiao really going to get a divorce?"

"Yes," Fu Xiyu replied.

Fu Mingyan laughed, but didn't dare to show it too obviously, "Is that so? Then Xia Wanwan must be very sad. She really likes Brother Nan Xiao, so she probably doesn't want a divorce."

“Nan Xiao’s mind is made up,” Fu Xiyu said.

Fu Mingyan said, "It seems that Brother Nan Xiao doesn't like Xia Wanwan that much. If she had any self-awareness, she should have gotten a divorce honestly, so as not to end up being kicked out and losing face at home."
