Chapter 204 I Will Disappear Forever
Huo Nanxiao's feelings were very complicated at this moment.
Xia Ningxi laughed and said, "What? You want me to give up the supreme honor of being the eldest daughter-in-law of the Huo family to benefit another woman, but you can't give me any compensation?"
Huo Nanxiao asked, "What kind of compensation do you want?"
Xia Ningxi said, "I want money, status, fame, and fortune."
Huo Nanxiao frowned: "Xia Ningxi, you can't be too greedy."
Xia Ningxi said, "What in this world is better than being the eldest daughter-in-law of the Huo family? If you can't offer me enough incentive, why should I be the one to pave the way for Xia Wanwan's wedding?"
"Wanwan has become like this because of you, have you forgotten?" Huo Nanxiao asked sternly.
Xia Ningxi said, "I have forgotten. I have forgotten everything that happened back then. So Huo Nanxiao, it won't be so easy for you to make Xia Wanwan take the throne. I will not let anyone replace me easily unless you can give me enough benefits."
Huo Nanxiao originally felt indebted to Xia Ningxi and couldn't bear to speak too directly, but now, hearing Xia Ningxi's tone, Huo Nanxiao's sense of guilt towards Xia Ningxi vanished.
His aura gradually turned cold, and his tone was quite indifferent: "What do you want?"
“Ninety percent of your assets,” Xia Ningxi said.
Huo Nanxiao was amused by her: "Xia Ningxi, this is more than just asking for an exorbitant amount."
Ninety percent?
How different is that from letting Huo Nanxiao leave with nothing?
Moreover, does Xia Ningxi know how much wealth Huo Nanxiao currently possesses?
What Huo Nanxiao possesses now is enough for Xia Ningxi to squander for ten lifetimes.
He knew he couldn't possibly agree to Xia Ningxi's request, and said, "Is this your attitude for negotiation?"
Xia Ningxi said, "You're the one who wants a divorce, not me forcing you. Since you don't want to entrust your entire fortune to me, then we might as well not get a divorce."
"Impossible." Huo Nanxiao's voice was cold: "If you really need money, I can give you a hundred million."
"You think you can buy the position of the eldest daughter-in-law of the Huo family for 100 million? Huo Nanxiao, you're really getting a bargain." Xia Ningxi mocked without any politeness.
Huo Nanxiao said, "Don't push your luck."
"This amount of money won't sway me. If you really want to talk, show some sincerity. Otherwise, I won't be a good person, and I certainly won't give up the position of Mrs. Huo to Xia Wanwan." Xia Ningxi's attitude was very firm.
She's not someone to be trifled with.
Why should Huo Nanxiao make her do Xia Wanwan's wedding dress without giving her a single penny?
He's thinking way too optimistically!
Xia Ningxi scoffed inwardly, "If you can't bear to part with it, then there's no need to bring it up again. Anyway, I've gotten myself into a lot of trouble because of you. If you push me too far, I'll just put our marriage certificate in front of the reporters, and they won't dare to say another word."
Huo Nanxiao's whole body turned cold, and he said with unusual seriousness, "I can give you 40 percent of the shares. You know how much that's worth. This is the biggest concession I can make."
Xia Ningxi shook her head: "I want ninety."
"Xia Ningxi, don't push your luck!" Huo Nanxiao was furious.
Xia Ningxi said, "Aren't you the one who's pushing your luck? Why should I have to cooperate with you just because you want to get married? I'm not your plaything."
Huo Nanxiao said, "If Wanwan hadn't gotten into trouble back then, do you think it would have been your turn?"
"Yes, if Xia Wanwan hadn't gotten into trouble, the two of you would have been together long ago, and I wouldn't have a chance. But now, I, Xia Ningxi, am your wife. If you want Xia Wanwan to enter the Huo family, you have to ask me for permission first. I'm not willing to move. So what if Xia Wanwan is the number one socialite in the capital? If word gets out, she'll still be seen as a homewrecker."
Xia Ningxi sneered: "Does Young Master Huo intend to just stand by and watch the woman he loves suffer this kind of infamy?"
Huo Nanxiao's face was serious: "Fifty percent."
"No." Xia Ningxi shook her head.
Huo Nanxiao said angrily, "Xia Ningxi, don't go too far."
Xia Ningxi said, "Your net worth will continue to rise in the future. It would be a real loss for me to only take fifty percent now. I want ninety percent. If you can't accept that, I can give you another option."
Huo Nanxiao frowned: "Go on."
Xia Ningxi replied, "Give Huo Yuan back to me, and I'll leave with nothing, without taking a single penny, and disappear from your sight forever. I will never disturb you and Xia Wanwan's time together."
"Impossible, Huo Yuan would never give it to you." Huo Nanxiao refused sternly.
Xia Ningxi said, "Do you really want to talk to me? I can't have this or that. If you don't want to talk, don't waste my time."
Huo Nanxiao angrily approached Xia Ningxi and said, word by word, "Xia Ningxi, your goal from beginning to end has only been Huo Yuan, hasn't it?"
"Yes." Xia Ningxi wasn't afraid of being seen through by Huo Nanxiao.
Huo Nanxiao said, "Impossible. You can forget about ever getting anything from Huo Yuan in your entire life."
"Then I can only continue to be your wife and occupy the position of the eldest young mistress of the Huo family." Xia Ningxi shrugged indifferently, a beautiful smile curving her lips: "Anyway, I don't plan to leave the capital. Since I'm going to live in the capital, I should have some status to protect myself. If I go out and tell everyone that I was married to you and that I am your wife, who wouldn't give me some respect?"
Huo Nanxiao angrily pinched Xia Ningxi's face, suppressing his rage: "Do you have to go against me before you'll stop?"
“I never intended to go against you; I just wanted to take back everything that was rightfully mine. I married you with a clear conscience, and even if I have to leave, I want to leave with a clear conscience and take everything that is rightfully mine.”
Xia Ningxi met Huo Nanxiao's eyes and said, word by word, "Huo Yuan is the child I carried for ten months and risked half my life to give birth to. I can't watch him call another woman 'Mommy.' You can like Xia Wanwan, you can give Xia Wanwan everything she wants, that's all up to you, I can't control that. But Huo Yuan is my son, I can't give him to you unless I die."
Xia Ningxi's icy hands grasped Huo Nanxiao's large hand that was squeezing her, and slowly pried open his clenched fingers, saying, "Two choices: you leave with nothing, or you return Huo Yuan to me. You can only choose one."
"You won't get anything." Huo Nanxiao said coldly.
Xia Ningxi said, "Huo Yuan is old now. He's not a child you can easily fool anymore. You don't have much time to think. I can't wait too long. If you can't give me an answer, I can tell Huo Yuan about my relationship with you. I'm not sure if he'll still acknowledge Xia Wanwan then."
"How dare you!" Huo Nanxiao was furious.
