Chapter 200 Utterly Disappointed with Huo Nanxiao
Huo Nanxiao was seething with anger, but he couldn't vent it on Xia Xingxing.
He had already noticed the difference between Xia Xingxing and Huo Yuan. Although Huo Yuan would compete with him on a daily basis, he was not as sharp-tongued as Xia Xingxing, who was also particularly good at being two-faced.
Huo Nanxiao clearly sensed something was wrong, but couldn't pinpoint exactly what it was because Xia Xingxing and Huo Yuan looked exactly alike, and he couldn't tell them apart at all.
Despite being furious, Huo Nanxiao eventually brought Xia Xingxing back to the Huo family.
Dinner was also prepared by Huo Nanxiao himself.
Xia Xingxing sat on the sofa like an old man, her little feet crossed, ordering food.
Finally, Huo Nanxiao prepared a simple four-dish meal with soup.
Xia Xingxing said very proudly, "I thought Daddy was going to starve me to death since Dr. Xia wasn't here."
With a gloomy face, Huo Nanxiao picked up a piece of meat and stuffed it into Xia Xingxing's mouth.
The father and son had just finished dinner when Huo Xiuyuan returned from outside, looking very unhappy.
"Grandpa," Xia Xingxing called out in her childish voice.
Huo Xiuyuan's expression softened slightly upon seeing Xia Xingxing, and he immediately approached her with a kind smile: "My dear grandson, have you eaten yet?"
"I just ate. Daddy made the food," Xia Xingxing replied.
Huo Xiuyuan looked at Huo Nanxiao, his voice sharp: "I was just looking for you."
"What is it?" Huo Nanxiao asked.
Huo Xiuyuan said, "Your scandals have already spread, aren't you going to deal with them?"
Huo Nanxiao asked, "What scandal?"
"You and Xia Wanwan's messy affair," Huo Xiuyuan said angrily.
Huo Nanxiao frowned and immediately said to the butler, "Take the young master upstairs."
Huo Xiuyuan was even angrier when he heard this. After Xia Xingxing was taken away, he said angrily, "Even now you still don't plan to let the child know that Ning Xi is his biological mother, is that it?"
"Yes," Huo Nanxiao replied in a deep voice.
Huo Xiuyuan said, "You bastard, what's so good about Xia Wanwan? Over the years, our Huo family has given her everything we could, and the Xia family has also benefited a lot. Isn't that enough? Do you have to ruin the reputation of the entire Huo family before you're satisfied?"
Huo Nanxiao said, "The person who wants to ruin the Huo family's reputation is my father."
Huo Xiuyuan was furious: "The Xia family is taking advantage of your favoritism towards Xia Wanwan to embarrass the Huo family. Do you expect me to give them a way out?"
"Father shouldn't have revealed that Xia Wanwan and I didn't get a marriage certificate. After all, she's been the nominal eldest daughter-in-law of the Huo family for four years. Why did you have to expose it?" Huo Nanxiao asked seriously.
Huo Xiuyuan was even angrier: "How dare you bring that up? What makes Xia Wanwan so special that she deserves to be the eldest daughter-in-law of the Huo family? Ning Xi almost died giving birth to Huo Yuan because of you, and you just give the child to Xia Wanwan. Have you ever thought about Ning Xi's feelings?"
“This is all she owes Wanwan.” Huo Nanxiao said with a serious expression.
Huo Xiuyuan said, "Even if Ningxi owes Xia Wanwan, it's none of your business. You only know that Xia Ningxi ruined Xia Wanwan's life, and that she owes Xia Wanwan, but have you ever thought about how good you are to Xia Ningxi? Don't you owe her anything? If it weren't for you, how could she have been separated from her child?"
Huo Nanxiao said coldly, "I married her only for Wanwan."
"Are you trying to piss me off?!" Huo Xiuyuan's face turned red with anger.
Xia Xingxing upstairs hadn't actually gone far.
Upon hearing Huo Nanxiao's words, Xia Xingxing's face clearly showed disappointment.
The butler said, "Young master, let's go back to our room quickly."
Xia Xingxing forced a smile and said, "Uncle Butler, does my daddy really like Wanwan's mommy?"
The butler said, "Miss Wanwan must be Young Master Huo's favorite person."
Xia Xingxing lowered her head. Xia Wanwan was her father's favorite person, but what about her mother?
What is Mommy in Daddy's heart?
Does Daddy really see Mommy as just a pawn for Xia Wanwan to rise to power?
Xia Xingxing felt extremely sad; he actually... couldn't accept this fact.
He had been clinging to illusions because Huo Nanxiao was really good to him. Xia Xingxing even thought that Huo Nanxiao truly loved his mother, which was why they were having a child together. But now, after hearing Huo Nanxiao's words, Xia Xingxing finally believed that he and his mother were just pawns in his father's hands.
In Daddy's heart, Xia Wanwan is the most important person.
This truth made Xia Xingxing very upset.
After taking a hot shower, he locked himself in his room.
When Huo Nanxiao returned, he found the door closed and knocked on it.
"Daddy, I'll sleep by myself tonight, I don't need you to stay with me," Xia Xingxing said.
Huo Nanxiao asked, "Are you alright by yourself?"
"I can do it, Daddy, don't worry." Xia Xingxing tried her best to remain calm.
He was heartbroken. He lay blankly on the large bed, recalling every little thing that had happened during this time. Huo Nanxiao had been so good to him, and he liked Huo Nanxiao very much, but...
If his existence is truly only to pave the way for Xia Wanwan, then we might as well not have this daddy.
Xia Xingxing burrowed into the covers.
The next morning, Huo Nanxiao knocked on the door right on time.
Xia Xingxing had changed into a simple and clean set of clothes, pretending that nothing had happened, and went downstairs to have breakfast.
Coincidentally, Huo Jinchuan was also there, and at this moment, he was discussing something with Huo Xiuyuan in the garden, which angered Huo Xiuyuan, who then scolded Huo Nanxiao.
Xia Xingxing only then realized that the Huo family had been greatly affected because of Huo Nanxiao and Xia Ningxi's affair.
Even so, Huo Nanxiao's determination to protect Xia Wanwan remained unwavering.
Huo Xiuyuan was angry and naturally refused to give Huo Nanxiao some important projects of the Huo family, which allowed Huo Jinchuan to take advantage of the situation.
Huo Nanxiao ignored it and acted as if nothing had happened. After breakfast, he took Xia Xingxing to the hospital.
Xia Xingxing didn't say a word the whole way.
Huo Nanxiao asked, "Unhappy?"
"Daddy, people outside are saying that you will be with Dr. Xia, right?" Xia Xingxing finally couldn't hold back and mustered up her courage to ask.
Huo Nanxiao's face hardened: "Who told you that?"
“That’s what everyone online says,” Xia Xingxing replied.
Huo Nanxiao said, "No."
Xia Xingxing was very disappointed, but forced a smile: "So, Daddy will only choose Wanwan Mommy in this life, right?"
"Mm." Huo Nanxiao nodded, subconsciously reaching out to hug Xia Xingxing.
Xia Xingxing dodged to the side.
He forced a smile at Huo Nanxiao, "Since Daddy likes Wanwan Mommy so much, then stay away from Dr. Xia."
“I know,” Huo Nanxiao replied in a deep voice.
Xia Xingxing clenched his fists, so angry that tears were about to fall. He wanted to speak up for Xia Ningxi, but... thinking that Huo Nanxiao had been using them from beginning to end, Xia Xingxing wondered, what's the point of saying all this?
It's completely useless.
His father only loved Xia Wanwan.
Whether it's Mommy or these children, they are all pawns in Daddy's hands.
Xia Xingxing, who had still harbored a sliver of hope for Huo Nanxiao, was now completely disappointed in him.
