Chapter 375 You've Gotten Your Role as a Father
Perhaps Chu Chu was crying too loudly, startling Huo Xiuyuan, who came downstairs and saw Chu Chu sobbing and hiding in Xia Ningxi's arms, looking extremely pitiful. Then he looked at Huo Nanxiao, who was being confronted by the family of four...
Huo Xiuyuan demanded, "What happened?"
Xingxing immediately complained, "Grandpa, Daddy is bullying Chuchu."
Huo Xiuyuan, though not angry, exuded an imposing aura: "You still have the nerve to bully a child?"
Huo Nanxiao raised his long, beautiful eyebrows and looked at the tearful Chu Chu. He found it amusing to see her pink cheeks red from crying.
Huo Xiuyuan walked up to the three children and asked Xingxing, "How did your daddy bully Chuchu?"
Xingxing said, "Daddy is going to sell Chuchu to get money."
Huo Xiuyuan snorted coldly, glared at Huo Nanxiao, and then walked up to Chu Chu, smiling very kindly: "Chu Chu, come here, Grandpa will protect you. No one can sell you."
"Waaah, Grandpa Huo, he's a big bad guy!" Chu Chu complained.
Huo Xiuyuan picked up the pitiful Chu Chu and coaxed her, "Don't cry, Grandpa will teach him a lesson for you."
One moment Huo Xiuyuan was all smiles and kindness, the next he was all menacing and yelling at Huo Nanxiao, "You still have the nerve to come back? You've disgraced the Huo family! Get out of here and don't get in my way!"
Huo Nanxiao: "..."
Huo Nanxiao had never been so speechless as he looked at his father who had turned his back on him.
He couldn't understand whether Huo Xiuyuan was just getting old and confused, or if he'd lost his mind. He was Huo Xiuyuan's biological son, and as for Xia Chuchu...
He's so protective of this little girl; anyone who didn't know better would think she was his granddaughter.
Huo Nanxiao ignored Huo Xiuyuan, who was siding with outsiders, took a sip of the fragrant hot tea, and sat there calmly and motionless.
Huo Xiuyuan was furious when he saw him like this and questioned, "Has the matter with the Xia family been resolved?"
"More or less," Huo Nanxiao replied casually.
Huo Xiuyuan was very dissatisfied: "What do you mean by 'almost'? If you don't handle this well, I will personally go to Ninghai Hospital to find that woman surnamed Xia."
Huo Nanxiao raised his head, his dark, deep eyes flashing with a terrifying light: "What do you want with her?"
"If she had any shame, she wouldn't have gone to break up someone else's family. If she really intends to, I wouldn't mind letting her stay in the hospital for a few more years." Huo Xiuyuan's sharp voice carried a warning.
Huo Nanxiao held the teacup, his fair fingers tightening slightly. He placed the teacup on the table expressionlessly and said, "I will handle this matter. All trending topics and headlines will be removed within half an hour."
Huo Xiuyuan said, "That's for the best. I don't want to see any more negative news about the Huo family. If I see any more bad comments, I will take action myself."
Huo Nanxiao's eyes were icy cold.
If Huo Xiuyuan makes a move, it will be a devastating blow to the Xia family.
Xia Wanwan's health is not good now, and she can't withstand any more stress. Even if Huo Nanxiao has a lot of dissatisfaction in his heart, he can't possibly lose his temper with Huo Xiuyuan.
Sitting next to Huo Nanxiao, Xia Ningxi could clearly feel the anger emanating from him. She knew that Huo Nanxiao was angry because Huo Xiuyuan had used Xia Wanwan to threaten him.
Since this matter was more or less related to her, Xia Ningxi felt it was inappropriate for her to stay here any longer, so she took the children out to play.
Huo Xiuyuan watched Xia Ningxi's departing figure until she completely disappeared from sight before speaking: "What do you plan to do with the two children?"
Huo Nanxiao said, "Stay in the capital."
"Then what?"
Huo Xiuyuan felt that simply staying in the imperial city was not enough.
Huo Nanxiao said, "Ning Xi will take good care of them; we don't need to worry about anything else."
"You have absolutely no intention of revealing her identity? She is your wife! Now is the perfect time to announce that you two have been married for many years, and people outside will stop making wild guesses," Huo Xiuyuan suggested.
Huo Nanxiao refused: "No."
"Why?" Huo Xiuyuan questioned.
Huo Nanxiao said, "Wanwan needs to recuperate now and cannot be subjected to too much stimulation."
"you--"
Huo Xiuyuan's face turned ashen, and he was so angry that he was about to make a move.
Qu Huilan quickly stopped the enraged Huo Xiuyuan and said, "Don't be angry."
Huo Xiuyuan shoved Qu Huilan aside and yelled, "Listen to what this bastard is saying!"
"After all, Wanwan saved Nanxiao's life, and our Huo family does owe her a debt of gratitude. Nanxiao is right, so don't get angry over such a small matter," Qu Huilan comforted him.
Huo Xiuyuan was furious: "So what if Xia Wanwan saved Nan Xiao? Haven't we given the Xia family enough over the years? Haven't we given Xia Wanwan enough?"
"Spending hundreds of millions to hire a team of experts from abroad, using the most advanced medical technology, and providing her with the best food and drink isn't enough; does he have to marry her?"
"Just keep indulging him. If you let him keep messing things up like this, the family will fall apart sooner or later. It's only because Ning Xi is kind-hearted that we're left. If it were anyone else, we wouldn't even be able to see the three children again!"
Huo Xiuyuan knew better than anyone else that once Xia Wanwan entered the Huo family, Xia Ningxi would definitely leave the capital with the child.
Ah Yuan and Xingxing will also leave.
These two children are Huo Xiuyuan's precious darlings, and he can't bear to let Xia Ningxi leave with them.
However, Huo Xiuyuan also knew that these two children were Xia Ningxi's life, and if they forcibly took the children away, Xia Ningxi would definitely fight them to the death.
Ultimately, it's all Huo Nanxiao's fault.
Thinking about how outrageous his son was, Huo Xiuyuan cursed and said, "You better think it through. Do you want the child or Xia Wanwan? You'd better know what you're doing. Ning Xi already hates you to the core. If even your own son hates you, then you're done being a father."
Huo Xiuyuan turned and left.
Qu Huilan watched his angry departure, then walked over to Huo Nanxiao and sat down beside him, her face serious. She said softly, "Nanxiao, your father is doing this for your own good. Ayuan and Xingxing are both your own sons. Don't you like them at all?"
“Of course I like it,” Huo Nanxiao replied.
Qu Huilan said, "Since you like her, why can't you make a reasonable concession for the sake of this family? Xia Wanwan has already woken up, and it's not like she has to marry into the Huo family."
Huo Nanxiao said, "I promised her back then."
Qu Huilan said, "I know she has been kind to you, but the two children cannot lose their father. Xia Wanwan is a kind person. If she has to break up someone else's family to get a marriage, she probably won't accept it."
The Huo family can offer Xia Wanwan a lot. She wants fame and fortune, and we can give her a huge sum of money so she can live a life of comfort and security.
