Chapter 373 Huo Nanxiao's Heart Has Changed
In Zhou Fenglin's view, not sending Xia Ningxi to jail was already a favor to her. Asking for a child and the position of the eldest daughter-in-law of the Huo family was not excessive. Xia Wanwan deserved all of this.
Zhou Fenglin also believed that Huo Nanxiao thought the same way.
Zhou Fenglin never expected that Huo Nanxiao would change his mind so soon after Xia Wanwan woke up!
They even wanted to take Huo Yuan away!
Are you kidding me!
The Xia family has worked so hard to raise Huo Yuan all these years in order to control him. Why should Xia Ningxi be able to take the child away as soon as she arrives?
Huo Nanxiao, that heartless and ungrateful man!
Zhou Fenglin had no intention of giving Huo Nanxiao any face anymore, and his attitude was very firm: "We will absolutely not return Huo Yuan to Xia Ningxi. He is already registered under Wanwan's name, so he is Wanwan's child. No one can take Huo Yuan away from Wanwan!"
At this point, Zhou Fenglin glared at Xia Ningxi and said, "Especially you. I've tolerated you for a long time. If it weren't for you, the murderer, almost killing Wanwan, would she have suffered so much? Huo Yuan was raised by our Xia family. You'd better give the child back!"
Xia Ningxi said, "The child is in the Huo family's old house. If you have the ability, go and snatch him yourself."
"You—" Zhou Fenglin's words caught in his throat, so angry that he couldn't speak for a moment.
Xia Wenhe said, "Young Master Huo, A Yuan was adopted by Wanwan and raised by her. This was all agreed upon four years ago. I don't understand why you're going back on your word? Did Wanwan do something wrong?"
Huo Nanxiao said, "I have already agreed to give Ning Xi custody of A Yuan."
Xia Wenhe said, "What about Wanwan?"
Zhou Fenglin was also very agitated: "No, I absolutely disagree. Huo Yuan must be registered under Wanwan's name, and no one can take him away from her."
Huo Nanxiao ignored Zhou Fenglin, his cold gaze fixed on Xia Wenhe, and said, "What do you think?"
Xia Wenhe glanced at Xia Ningxi.
That one look was filled with indescribable coldness.
Xia Ningxi thought to herself that he was her father and should know that Huo Yuan was the child she had given birth to with half her life. If he had any conscience at all, he would not have separated Xia Ningxi from her child.
However, reality disappointed Xia Ningxi.
Xia Wenhe said, "After all, A Yuan has already been adopted by Wanwan, so I don't think it's necessary to give custody to Ning Xi."
"Dad! That's my child!" Xia Ningxi reminded him.
Xia Wenhe said, "Don't you already have two children? Why do you have to take Huo Yuan away from your sister? With her current physical condition, she really needs a child to accompany her. Ning Xi, you can't be so selfish. Wanwan is like this because of you."
Xia Ningxi's heart sank, and she suddenly found it all very ridiculous.
She didn't know why Huo Nanxiao insisted on bringing her to the Xia family. Was it just so she could listen to Xia Wenhe's advice?
She would not abandon her child or Huo Yuan for anyone!
"You've said so much, but it all depends on whether A-Yuan is willing to follow Xia Wanwan," Xia Ningxi said sarcastically.
Xia Wenhe said with a serious expression, "A Yuan is naturally willing. Even if he is not, so what? As long as you leave the capital, A Yuan will naturally follow Wanwan without his mother."
"Heh, so that's what you were planning." Xia Ningxi sneered, her beautiful eyes fixed on Huo Nanxiao: "Is that what you meant too?"
Xia Wenhe said, "Don't make things difficult for Young Master Huo. You were the one who stole Wanwan's marriage, and you owe Wanwan the child. It's not unreasonable to ask you to leave the capital."
Xia Ningxi remained calm and composed, pouring herself a cup of hot tea. After taking a sip, she poured the rest of the tea onto the table.
Xia Wenhe and Zhou Fenglin both turned pale.
Xia Ningxi smiled slightly: "In that case, you should go and negotiate with Huo Xiuyuan."
Xia Xi stood up and said bluntly, "Huo Nanxiao, I'll wait for you in the car. You can decide what to do."
She turned her back and left.
Zhou Fenglin watched Xia Ningxi's departing figure, his face contorted with rage.
Xia Wenhe didn't know where Xia Ningxi got such a temper, and his disgust for her grew even stronger. He felt that Xia Ningxi must have been stirring things up around Huo Nanxiao, which was why Huo Nanxiao changed his mind.
Xia Wenhe said earnestly to Huo Nanxiao, "Young Master Huo, Wanwan really likes Ayuan. If you just return Ayuan to Ningxi like this, she will definitely be unhappy."
"Besides, Grandpa Huo probably doesn't like Wanwan very much. If he gives Ayuan's custody to Ning Xi, what will happen to Wanwan?"
"Old Master Huo certainly wouldn't allow her to enter the Huo family, would he?"
Huo Nanxiao said, "My father has a lot of opinions about what the Xia family has done these past two days. The reason I came here is to remind you not to anger him."
Xia Wenhe's face turned deathly pale.
Zhou Fenglin's face stiffened, and she could no longer smile. She asked tremblingly, "Does Old Master Huo really intend to personally take action against a small family like the Xia family?"
"Possibly."
Huo Nanxiao's voice was crisp and clear.
"You should suppress this matter in the same way you made it bigger. Wanwan needs to rest now and should not be affected by anyone. I don't want you to be the ones to push her into the limelight in the end."
Huo Nanxiao left a warning and then departed gracefully.
Zhou Fenglin and Xia Wenhe stood there dumbfounded, their hearts filled with turmoil.
"What does Huo Nanxiao mean by that? I don't understand." Zhou Fenglin couldn't help but ask.
Xia Wenhe said somberly, "This is a warning to us not to associate with the Huo family."
"He promised to marry Wanwan, was I wrong to announce the news in advance?"
Zhou Fenglin was so angry that he trembled all over.
Xia Wenhe said, "We did nothing wrong, but the mistake was that Huo Xiuyuan didn't like our Wanwan."
Zhou Fenglin said sarcastically, "Wanwan isn't marrying him, so it's none of his business whether he likes her or not."
Xia Wenhe said with a heavy heart, "That's true, but Huo Xiuyuan is Huo Nanxiao's father, and he is the head of the family. If the daughter-in-law is not liked by her father-in-law, do you think she can marry into the family smoothly?"
Zhou Fenglin's palms were sweating with anxiety. She paced back and forth in fear, saying, "What can we do? Xia Ningxi gave birth to twins for the Huo family. Huo Xiuyuan will definitely prefer her. Our Wanwan is in poor health and can't even stand up now. Huo Xiuyuan will definitely not accept such a daughter-in-law."
Xia Wenhe said, "That's why Huo Nanxiao told us to keep a low profile and not to make a big deal out of it. We should wait until Wanwan has fully recovered before bringing it up again."
“But Xia Ningxi is staying in the capital and won’t leave. I also heard that she’s already living with Huo Nanxiao. It’s inevitable that the two of them will get angry over time.” Zhou Fenglin was very worried.
Xia Wenhe said, "Don't worry about that. No one can replace Wanwan in Huo Nanxiao's heart, not even Ning Xi. Besides, if Huo Nanxiao were so easy to fall in love with, he would have changed his mind long ago, and wouldn't have waited until now."
Zhou Fenglin was unsure of himself.
If Huo Nanxiao hadn't changed his mind, why would he have brought Xia Ningxi home to live with him?
If he hadn't changed his mind, he should have sent Xia Ningxi to prison, taken the two twins away, and adopted them into Wanwan's family. But Huo Nanxiao didn't do that.
