Chapter 1099 You won't regret it even if I die
The Ling family's guards sealed off almost all exits, leaving chaos in their wake.
Xia Ningxi watched helplessly as a group of people started fighting. She tried to stop them, but Huo Nanxiao held her wrist tightly. She couldn't break free, which made her even angrier.
"What do you want from me?" Xia Ningxi demanded.
Huo Nanxiao paused, his eyes flashing with a complex light as he looked at Xia Ningxi: "If you sever ties with Ling Xiao, I can let you go."
"What a joke!" Xia Ningxi refused to agree.
Huo Nanxiao concealed the cold glint in his eyes: "Since that's the case, then there's nothing more to say."
"We're already divorced, and I've made it very clear to you that I can't remarry you, and I can't be with you. Why are you forcing me?" Xia Ningxi said hysterically.
She didn't understand why Huo Nanxiao went back on his word.
He broke his promise, even though he had made it in advance.
Xia Ningxi had already completely let go of him and started living her own life, but Huo Nanxiao insisted on interfering!
Doesn't he, a grown man, have his own things to do? Why does he have to drag himself into this?
Xia Ningxi grew angrier the more she thought about it. She tried with all her might to break free from Huo Nanxiao's grip, but she failed and watched helplessly as Huo Nanxiao led her away from the crowd.
He was determined to take me away.
Xia Ningxi staggered and nearly fell.
The banquet hall was very large, but Xia Ningxi could not see the path under her feet, nor did she know where Huo Nanxiao had dragged her to. She only knew that they had left the center of the brawl.
Just as they were about to be taken away by Huo Nanxiao, a slender figure blocked their way.
Huo Nanxiao stopped in his tracks.
A disheveled Xia Wan, dressed in a long gown, stood aloof before Huo Nanxiao, watching him grasp Xia Ningxi's hand, her lips white with embarrassment: "Nanxiao, what are you trying to do?"
Huo Nanxiao looked coldly at Xia Wanwan and asked, "What are you doing?"
Xia Wanwan said, "I'd like to ask you what you're planning to do? Are you going to take Ning Xi away?"
"It's none of your business." Huo Nanxiao didn't want to pay any attention to Xia Wanwan.
Xia Wanwan blocked his way: "You can leave, but you can't take Ning Xi with you."
Huo Nanxiao had lost his patience: "Xia Wanwan, I have a clear conscience towards you, and there is no relationship between us. You'd better understand your own identity and not meddle in things that are not your business."
"But what if I insist on interfering?" Xia Wanwan looked at Huo Nanxiao with teary eyes. Where no one could see, she picked up a small steak knife and held it to her neck.
"Release Ning Xi, or I will die in front of you."
Xia Wanwan's voice was strong and clear.
Huo Nanxiao fell silent. He looked at Xia Wanwan's selfish face, and a layer of ice formed in his heart. "Do you know what you're doing?"
“I am more clear-headed than ever.” Xia Wanwan’s voice was firm. She looked into Huo Nanxiao’s eyes and said, “If you forcibly take Ning Xi away, I will die in front of you. I mean what I say.”
"Your life has no value to me; you pose no threat to me," Huo Nanxiao said coldly.
Xia Wanwan's eyes were red, and the knife in her hand had already cut her neck. The blood stained the cut and Xia Wanwan's neck red.
"What's wrong with you?" Huo Nanxiao couldn't help but scold.
Xia Wanwan said, "I just want you not to make things difficult for Ning Xi. If she wants to go with you, I will not stop her. But she doesn't want to go with you at all. Why are you forcing her?"
Huo Nanxiao looked coldly at Xia Wanwan's stubborn face and the bloodstains on her neck, finding it all laughable.
Her actions at this moment seemed as if she would give her life for Xia Ningxi.
But everyone knows that Xia Wanwan and Xia Ningxi don't have such a deep relationship. To be precise, they were practically enemies before.
Xia Ningxi had long since severed ties with Xia Wanwan. If Xia Wanwan hadn't taken the initiative to come to her, Xia Ningxi wouldn't have invited Xia Wanwan to her wedding.
Now look at Xia Wanwan, putting on such a righteous act, is she really thinking of Xia Ningxi?
Xia Ningxi watched this farce and found it all laughable.
She said to Xia Wanwan, "Put the knife down."
"Ning Xi, I'm doing this for your own good," Xia Wanwan said, still spouting hypocritical words.
Xia Ningxi said, "You took a knife and slit your throat at my wedding. Was this for my own good?"
“If I don’t do this, Nan Xiao won’t let you leave,” Xia Wanwan explained.
Xia Ningxi said, "Even so, this is a matter between the two of us, and it has nothing to do with you."
"How could you think that?" Xia Wanwan was completely shocked.
Xia Ningxi said, "Put the knife down and go down to bandage the wound."
"He won't let you stay," Xia Wanwan insisted.
Xia Ningxi smiled and said, "Alright, since you're so concerned for me, I'll go with Huo Nanxiao today. Can you take the knife down now?"
"What did you say?" Xia Wanwan looked at Xia Ningxi's face in disbelief.
Xia Ningxi said, "I am willing to go with Huo Nanxiao."
"Today is your wedding with Ling Xiao. What will happen to Ling Xiao if you leave? What will happen to the Ling family? Have you thought about them?" Xia Wanwan asked hurriedly.
Xia Ningxi said, "I believe Huo Nanxiao will handle these things well, and I don't need to worry about them. On the contrary, you've said so much, but what do you really want? You keep saying that you're doing this for my own good and don't want to ruin my wedding, but look at what you're doing now."
"I..." Xia Wanwan's throat went hoarse, and for a moment she didn't know what to say.
Xia Ningxi snorted coldly: "Don't know how to explain? Let me explain for you. You hope that I can successfully marry Ling Xiao today and completely cut off all ties with Huo Nanxiao, so that you can stay by her side, right?"
"You keep saying you're doing this for my own good, but you just want to climb over me to get ahead. That was true back then, and it's true now. You used to rely on being Huo Nanxiao's savior and acted with impunity, but now that you've discovered it was all a lie, you still want to climb over me to get ahead."
You don't need to say it's for my own good. If you truly cared, you wouldn't have threatened me with your life after finding out I was already married to Huo Nanxiao and had children.
"Xia Wanwan, you've overdone it. Not everyone needs to play along with this act."
"You can slit your own throat, but please don't say it's for me. First of all, we don't have a good relationship, and I don't need you to do anything for me. The reason you did this is because you can't let go of Huo Nanxiao and want to use your own life to blackmail him into marrying you again. Am I right?"
Xia Ningxi ruthlessly exposed Xia Wanwan's hypocritical mask.
Her scheming nature was laid bare.
Xia Wanwan's pale face instantly lost all color. She wanted to refute, to deny, she didn't want to admit this fact.
"That's not how it is, it's not what you said!" Xia Wanwan's voice trembled.
Xia Ningxi said, "What is this? I've already agreed to go with Huo Nanxiao, why are you still blocking the way? Who exactly are you blocking? Are you really doing this for my own good? If you really care about me, you should make way for me now so I can leave."
A strong, clear voice directly interrupted Xia Wanwan's hypocritical explanation.
Xia Wanwan's voice instantly went hoarse, her eyes were red and almost bleeding, and she looked at Huo Nanxiao with tears in her eyes, her voice trembling: "Nanxiao, do you really want to be with her?"
Huo Nanxiao said coldly, "It's over between us. What happened between me and Xia Ningxi has nothing to do with you."
"Have you forgotten the promise you made to me? I'm asking you one last time today, is there any hope for us?" Xia Wanwan's voice trembled.
Huo Nanxiao: "Absolutely impossible."
"Even if I die in front of you today, you still won't come back to me? Even if I completely disappear from your world, you still won't look at me again?" Xia Wanwan's voice was choked with sobs.
Huo Nanxiao replied, "I've said it before, it's all over. Your life is your own to decide, and I have no right to interfere with your life or death!"
His voice was cold and piercing, devoid of any warmth, severing all of Xia Wanwan's hopes at that moment.
Tears streamed down Xia Wanwan's face uncontrollably. She knew that no matter how hard she tried, it was no use. Huo Nanxiao didn't love her, he just didn't love her.
That's all there is to her life!
Her reputation was ruined, her health collapsed, and her once-proud looks and figure were destroyed by the passage of time and the torment of illness. What future did she have?
Unlike Xia Ningxi, who is rich, capable, and has children, she doesn't need to rely on any man to live a successful life.
Huo Nanxiao is her life. If she can't spend her life with Huo Nanxiao, what's the point of living?
Heartbroken, Xia Wanwan plunged the knife into her neck without hesitation!
Blood splattered everywhere!
Everyone around was shocked by this scene; no one would have thought that Xia Wanwan would actually go this far!
Xia Ningxi never expected that Xia Wanwan would risk her life for a man!
She broke free from Huo Nanxiao's grasp and rushed towards Xia Wanwan!
"Don't move!" Xia Ningxi reminded her.
Xia Wanwan shook off Xia Ningxi's hand, her hoarse voice tinged with self-mockery: "I don't need you to save me!"
Xia Ningxi was furious: "Are you crazy? All for a man?"
Xia Wanwan's eyes reddened: "Yes, all for a man. I'm not like you. I have nothing left but Nan Xiao."
"Xia Ningxi, you clearly know everything, so why did you expose me? You know I can't let go of Nan Xiao, and you know my greatest wish in this life is to spend my life with him, so why can't you grant my wish?"
Xia Wanwan questioned him through tears.
She didn't understand why Xia Ningxi wouldn't give Huo Nanxiao to her, since she clearly had everything and had so many outstanding suitors, any one of whom was no worse than Huo Nanxiao.
Xia Ningxi has suffered all these years, but has her life been any easier?
She didn't mean to deceive Huo Nanxiao, but even though she wasn't his savior, her love for Huo Nanxiao was no less than anyone else's!
Why can't Xia Ningxi grant her wish?
Xia Wanwan, her eyes red, said, word by word, "I don't need you to save me!"
