Chapter 998 Huo Nanxiao's New Home

Xia Wenhe specially prepared a housewarming party for Xia Wanwan and told everyone that this was a recuperation sanctuary prepared for her by Huo Nanxiao, which was enough to prove Huo Nanxiao's sincerity towards Xia Wanwan.

A villa worth tens of millions is nothing to these wealthy people. No matter how much Xia Wenhe boasts, no one will envy him.

However, they will still come to the Xia family's invitation. At least for now, Xia Wanwan is still Huo Nanxiao's wife, and they have to give Huo Nanxiao face.

There were so many guests at the banquet that Xia Wanwan was afraid. She didn't dare to face the guests and just wanted to find a place to hide.

Xia Wenhe and Xia Luoluo didn't take it to heart, ignored Xia Wanwan, and went to the banquet hall to greet the guests.

The spacious villa was filled with distinguished guests, all congratulating Xia Wenhe and his family on moving into their new home.

Xia Wenhe expressed his gratitude to each of them.

Ji Feibai asked, "Are you planning to move to the suburbs?"

Xia Wenhe said, "No, this is a resort that Young Master Huo specially prepared for Wanwan. It's Wanwan's private cottage. We will leave after the banquet so that she and Nan Xiao can live their married life."

"I thought this was a villa you bought yourselves. I didn't expect it was specially prepared by Nan Xiao for Xia Wanwan. That's really thoughtful. But why is Nan Xiao nowhere to be seen today? Logically speaking, he should have attended your banquet." Ji Feibai looked around and searched the surroundings several times but still couldn't find Huo Nan Xiao.

In fact, Xia Wenhe and the others never intended for Huo Nanxiao to come.

They all knew that Huo Nanxiao disliked the Xia family and wouldn't give them a friendly welcome. If he announced the divorce in front of everyone, things would be terrible.

"President Huo has been quite busy lately and doesn't have time, so we didn't want to bother him," Xia Wenhe replied with a smile.

Ji Feibai understood the situation, took a sip of red wine, and nodded slightly: "You go ahead and entertain the guests, I'll go sit over there."

After saying that, he turned and left.

Jin Mingxi, who had already drunk two glasses of wine while sitting in the corner, asked Ji Feibai when he returned, "What did you say?"

“Nan Xiao didn’t come,” Ji Feibai said.

Jin Mingxi: "Then what are we doing here? Just tools? To put on a show for them?"

Ji Feibai: "The Xia family is becoming more and more shameless. No wonder Uncle Huo doesn't like them. This banquet was held under Nan Xiao's name, and everyone attended because of Nan Xiao. Now they're all happy to be here."

"Sigh." Jin Mingxi sighed helplessly.

Fu Xiyu said, "Wanwan isn't here either. This must be Xia Wenhe and Xia Luoluo's idea. They want to curry favor with the big wealthy families to expand their business. It has nothing to do with Wanwan. She's not that kind of person."

Ji Feibai muttered to himself, "You really know Xia Wanwan. I hope everything is as you say."

“You don’t believe me? I’m telling the truth. Wanwan is very kind and not a greedy person. She’s not the same kind of person as Xia Luoluo,” Fu Xiyu continued to explain.

Jin Mingxi smiled but didn't say anything.

Ji Feibai's lips twitched a few times.

Fu Mingyan, who had just returned from the restroom, rolled her eyes so hard she almost fell over when she heard her brother's evaluation of Xia Wanwan. She walked up to him with a gloomy face and said sarcastically, "Brother really knows Xia Wanwan well. If this banquet hadn't been arranged by her, it wouldn't have been able to take place, right? If she really wasn't greedy for wealth and status, why didn't she get a divorce? Isn't it because she can't bear to part with the Huo family's vast fortune?"

“You don’t understand, there are still feelings between them,” Fu Xiyu explained.

Fu Mingyan said, "I think it's my brother trying to whitewash himself. Brother Nan Xiao doesn't love Xia Wanwan at all. It's Xia Wanwan who's been clinging to him relentlessly."

"Shut up!" Fu Xiyu snapped.

Fu Mingyan rolled her eyes at him: "Can't I even tell the truth? Fine, you like Xia Wanwan, which means you have bad taste. Why should I argue with a patient?"

These words infuriated Fu Xiyu; he never expected his own sister to say such a thing.

With a group of people watching, Fu Xiyu couldn't very well get angry at Fu Mingyan in public, so he simply drank another glass of wine.

"Hmph, you're still not happy? I didn't say anything wrong." Fu Mingyan rolled her eyes again.

Fu Xiyu: "I know you don't like Wanwan, but this is the Xia family's home ground. Don't cause trouble tonight."

Fu Mingyan snorted coldly again, refusing to answer him.

The other socialites and heiresses were eager to see Xia Wanwan make a fool of herself, but they weren't stupid. They just wanted someone as brainless as Fu Mingyan to rush forward while they watched from behind, not wanting to foolishly rush forward themselves.

Now that Fu Mingyan isn't drawing attention, everyone is keeping quiet.

When someone celebrates their new housewarming, everyone should offer the usual congratulations.

Xia Luoluo moves among powerful figures, taking the opportunity to build connections and expand her business.

After a busy day, Xia Luoluo realized that few people genuinely wanted to cooperate with her. She knew these people looked down on her. She went outside and called Huo Nanxiao, but no one answered. So she sent him a message inviting him to her new home party.

Xia Luoluo was extremely annoyed by Huo Nanxiao's lack of response and felt like smashing her phone.

Out of the corner of her eye, she caught sight of a black Maybach approaching in the distance. Just as she was wondering who the person was, she saw Xia Ningxi get out of the car.

Xia Luoluo was overjoyed and stepped forward with a smile: "Sister Ning Xi, it's been a long time. I didn't expect you to come in person."

"You sent out twelve invitations; I'm probably the only one who gets this treatment," Xia Ningxi retorted.

Xia Luoluo said, "This is the new home that President Huo prepared for Sister Wanwan. You should be invited to visit it."

"That's all?" Xia Ningxi felt that they were up to something.

Xia Luoluo said, "Of course, I also hope you can help dispel the rumors. Recently, people in the capital have been spreading rumors that you are going to commit bigamy. Now that you have married Ling Xiao, you probably won't have the idea of ​​bigamy anymore. It's good to take this opportunity to make things clear to everyone, which will be good for everyone."

“Your family matters are your own business, why drag me into it?” Xia Ningxi retorted.

Xia Luoluo: "Because I'm worried you'll regret it and come to fight with the child in my belly for the family fortune. If you really have that idea, say it as soon as possible. If you don't want to go back to the Huo family and fight with me, you don't need to be afraid to swear to everyone."

"Heh." Xia Ningxi was amused by these words. For a moment, she didn't know whether to praise Xia Luoluo or scold her.

This person is too shrewd.

He was so shrewd that Xia Ningxi found him terrifying.

"I think you should take care of your own family matters. Xia Wanwan may not give you what you want," Xia Ningxi said.

Xia Luoluo: "You don't need to worry about what's going on between my sister and me. Today's banquet is also to tell everyone that my relationship with Sister Wanwan is very good, and it's not like the rumors outside that our family relationship has broken down."

"Then congratulations." Xia Ningxi smiled.

"Miss Ningxi, you've finally arrived. Miss Wanwan has been waiting for you upstairs for quite some time. Please come with me." The maid suddenly called out Xia Ningxi's name and said very respectfully.

"Okay." Xia Ningxi smiled slightly and said to Xia Luoluo, "I'll go upstairs first."

"Take care." Xia Luoluo watched Xia Ningxi go upstairs, but her gaze remained fixed on the maid who had invited her. Xia Luoluo remembered this maid; her name was Cuilan. She was Huo Nanxiao's personal maid assigned to Xia Wanwan and was deeply trusted by Huo Nanxiao.

When Xia Wanwan was being treated at Ninghai Hospital, it was this maid who took care of her. After Xia Wanwan was discharged from the hospital, Cuilan rarely appeared. To be precise, Cuilan was only kept around as an informant when Huo Nanxiao thought Xia Wanwan was in danger.

But this is Xia Wanwan's own home, what danger could there be?

Thinking of this, Xia Luoluo followed.

Guests gathered outside, but Xia Wanwan didn't appear even once. She had been upstairs getting ready for three hours and showed no sign of coming downstairs.

Xia Luoluo knew she didn't want to see the powerful figures in the capital, but if she didn't want to see anyone, why did she have to see Xia Ningxi? Had the two reached some kind of agreement? Could it be that they were targeting her?

Xia Luoluo became increasingly frightened as she thought about it. She quickly went upstairs, but instead of opening the bedroom door, she stood outside eavesdropping.
