Chapter 172 Taking a Ruthless Step
Xia Luoluo's face was even more unpleasant than if she had swallowed a fly. She clenched her fists angrily, unable to understand why Huo Nanxiao would do such a thing. Had Huo Nanxiao forgotten that Xia Wanwan's current state was all caused by Xia Ningxi?
Xia Luoluo was consumed by jealousy. She tried her best to calm herself down and put on the air of a well-bred young lady, but when she saw Huo Nanxiao and Xia Ningxi walking together, she still lost her composure.
She painstakingly planned her marriage to Huo Nanxiao, even raising Xia Ningxi's son for so many years, only to end up with nothing and now become a laughingstock in the eyes of outsiders!
At this moment, those who were jealous of Xia Ningxi were also looking at Xia Luoluo with very strange eyes.
They were all curious about how Xia Luoluo, Xia Wanwan's younger sister, would react when she saw her brother-in-law being seduced by another woman.
However, the reality disappointed everyone.
Xia Luoluo did not step forward to stop it!
She could only stand aside and stare helplessly; no matter how angry she was, it was useless.
Seeing this, the others could only secretly envy Xia Ningxi.
As for Fu Mingyan, who had just been rejected by Huo Nanxiao, her face was now completely green. She questioned Duan Rongrong: "Rongrong, is Xia Ningxi prettier than me? Why did Nanxiao choose her and not me?"
Duan Rongrong said, "It's probably because Xia Ningxi is good at seducing people. Look at Xia Luoluo, she can't do anything about it either."
"Who does Xia Luoluo think she is? Young Master Huo would definitely look down on her, but I am the eldest daughter of the Fu family, and I grew up with Brother Nan Xiao! He has no reason to reject me." Fu Mingyan was very angry.
“Otherwise, why would I say Xia Ningxi is clever? Who knows what underhanded tricks this woman used to seduce Young Master Huo?” Duan Rongrong replied.
Seeing that Duan Rongrong couldn't give her the answer she wanted, Fu Mingyan walked up to Xia Luoluo and said, "Xia Luoluo, are you just going to watch like this?"
Xia Luoluo forced a smile: "What does Miss Fu want to do?"
“This is a grand banquet for the elite; those low-class women shouldn’t be here,” Fu Mingyan said.
A cold glint flashed in Xia Luoluo's eyes. "What do you plan to do?"
"Let her be too ashamed to stay here," Fu Mingyan replied.
Xia Luoluo smiled slightly, and the two reached an agreement.
After the melodious and gentle music ended, Huo Nanxiao and Xia Ningxi walked out of the dance floor.
While Huo Nanxiao went to get water, Xia Luoluo led Fu Mingyan and the others to greet Xia Ningxi.
"Ning Xi, you look so beautiful in this outfit," Xia Luoluo praised against her conscience.
Xia Ningxi returned a smile, then turned and left.
Xia Luoluo grabbed Xia Ningxi's wrist and said, "Ningxi, we haven't seen each other in a long time. Let's stay and catch up."
"I have nothing to say to you." Xia Ningxi showed no respect whatsoever.
Fu Mingyan was surprised by Xia Ningxi's arrogance and said, "Who do you think you are? Don't push your luck."
Xia Ningxi said, "Did I ask you to come find me?"
"Ha, don't think you're all that just because Brother Nan Xiao likes you. You're not even the eldest young mistress of the Huo family yet, and you're already acting like one. Don't you even take a piss and look in the mirror to see what you're like?" Fu Mingyan was filled with rage, her jealousy making her unrecognizable.
Xia Ningxi curled her lips into a smile but remained silent.
She didn't want to waste her breath on these people, so Xia Ningxi didn't take anything they said to heart.
She turned and left.
Fu Mingyan was furious that Xia Ningxi dared to ignore her.
Xia Luoluo knew Xia Ningxi's personality, so when Xia Ningxi turned and walked past Fu Mingyan, Xia Luoluo secretly gave Xia Ningxi a hard shove.
By the time Xia Ningxi realized what was happening, it was too late. In her loss of control, she accidentally knocked Fu Mingyan off the steps. With a scream, Fu Mingyan tumbled violently into the dance floor.
In an instant, her face was covered in blood.
People around were so frightened that they screamed and backed away.
Xia Luoluo questioned, "Xia Ningxi, why did you push Fu Mingyan?"
Duan Rongrong angrily retorted, "You vicious woman! Mingyan only said a few bad things about you, and you retaliated maliciously! Are you even human?!"
In an instant, everyone's eyes were focused on Xia Ningxi.
When Fu Xiyu rushed over from a distance, Fu Mingyan was already lying on the ground unconscious, her face covered in blood, her eyes bloodshot.
"Who did this?!" Fu Xiyu's eyes were bloodshot.
Duan Rongrong said, "I just saw Xia Ningxi push Mingyan down the steps."
Fu Xiyu glared at Xia Ningxi.
Xia Ningxi said, "It wasn't me. Someone deliberately pushed me, and I accidentally knocked Fu Mingyan down."
Duan Rongrong sneered, "Who would push you? You lie without even thinking. You're just holding a grudge and deliberately getting back at Mingyan because she said a few words to you."
Xia Luoluo said, "Ning Xi, even if Mingyan went a bit too far, you can't retaliate like this."
They stood in unison on an online platform, making accusations that left Xia Ningxi speechless.
When Fu Yanghui heard that Fu Mingyan was injured, he rushed over and found her lying on the ground covered in blood. He was furious and his eyes were filled with murderous intent as he looked at Xia Ningxi.
"Guards, arrest this woman!" Fu Yanghui ordered angrily.
Seeing this, Huo Xiuyuan immediately stopped Fu Yanghui: "There might be some misunderstanding here."
“Everyone saw that she pushed Mingyan down the steps, what misunderstanding could there be!” Fu Yanghui asked angrily.
Huo Xiuyuan said, "Ning Xi is not that kind of person."
Duan Rongrong said, "Uncle Huo, it was indeed Xia Ningxi who pushed Fu Mingyan down. I saw it all."
Xia Luoluo lowered her eyes: "I saw it too."
Fu Yanghui questioned Huo Xiuyuan: "Did you hear that?"
Huo Xiuyuan immediately asked Xia Ningxi, "Ningxi, what exactly happened?"
Xia Ningxi said, "Someone pushed me just now, so I accidentally knocked Fu Mingyan down."
Huo Xiuyuan asked, "Who pushed you?"
Xia Ningxi's gaze fell on Xia Luoluo and Duan Rongrong. The two of them had been standing to her right rear. Xia Ningxi hadn't seen who had made the move, but it was definitely one of them.
Knowing Xia Luoluo as she does, Xia Ningxi knew she would never let such a golden opportunity slip by.
“It’s Xia Luoluo,” Xia Ningxi accused.
Xia Luoluo looked completely innocent: "How can you shift all the blame onto me? I have no grudge against Fu Mingyan, why would I harm her?"
Duan Rongrong said, "Stop slandering Xia Luoluo. You're just holding a grudge against Mingyan for humiliating you, so you've taken such drastic measures. You did something shameful like seducing someone else's husband, and now you don't even want people to talk about it?"
They all shifted all the blame onto Xia Ningxi, and they did so in a reasonable and well-founded manner.
Those who didn't know the reason unanimously believed that Xia Ningxi was deliberately ruthless because she resented Fu Mingyan for humiliating her.
"How could there be such a vicious woman!"
"Why would the Huo family let her in?"
"This wicked woman must be severely punished."
