Chapter 412 Everyone Wants Her Dead
The venue wasn't large, but there were a lot of people, and a lot of people were paying attention to Xia Ningxi. Some people noticed that Xia Ningxi and Huo Nanxiao came out of the restroom at almost the same time, and they had a vague idea of what was going on.
However, since this matter involved Huo Nanxiao, they dared not speak ill of him. They only dared to whisper about their relationship in private, though there were others as well.
Fu Mingyan, wearing flat shoes, walked over to Xia Ningxi and sat down, scolding her in a coquettish tone, "Where did you go just now? Why are you only coming now?"
"Did you need something from me?" Xia Ningxi asked.
Fu Mingyan was furious and had nowhere to vent her anger, so she took it all out on Xia Ningxi: "Are you an idiot? You only show up now for such an important occasion. You're supposed to be Nan Xiao's woman, how can you let that old woman in the wheelchair steal the spotlight!"
Xia Ningxi said, "You seem to dislike Xia Wanwan very much?"
"If she were a stunning beauty, that would be one thing, but Brother Nan Xiao is so outstanding, she's not good enough for him." Fu Mingyan looked like she'd swallowed a ton of gunpowder, her face puffed up with anger.
Xia Ningxi silently ate her watermelon, offering no reply.
Fu Mingyan got angry: "Don't you have anything to say?"
"No." Xia Ningxi replied indifferently.
Fu Mingyan was so angry she gritted her teeth: "Weren't you so arrogant before? Why did you shut up in front of Xia Wanwan? You've already given birth to her child, are you going to give your husband away too?"
No sooner had she finished speaking than Xia Wanwan pushed a wheelchair over.
"What are you talking about?" Xia Wanwan's voice was very gentle.
Fu Mingyan snorted, "What's it to you? Why ask so many questions?"
Xia Wanwan knew that Fu Mingyan didn't like her, so she didn't speak to Fu Mingyan anymore. She turned to Xia Ningxi and asked, "Where did you go just now? I've been looking for you."
"You went to the restroom, is something wrong?" Xia Ningxi asked.
Xia Wanwan said, "Your father and mother are waiting for you upstairs. Come with me to see them."
She held Xia Ningxi's hand warmly, giving Xia Ningxi no chance to refuse.
Upon reaching the second floor, they indeed saw Xia Wenhe and Zhou Fenglin sitting in the living room, which looked somewhat like a trap.
"Father, Ning Xi is here," Xia Wanwan gently reminded the two people sitting in the living room.
Xia Ningxi's stunningly beautiful face showed no extra emotion as she casually walked in and sat down.
Zhou Fenglin said, "Wanwan, you stay outside the door. We need to have a few words with Ning Xi alone."
"Can't I listen?" Xia Wanwan asked, somewhat displeased.
Zhou Fenglin said, "Yes, you can't listen. Go outside and wait."
Xia Wanwan was a little unhappy, but she still obediently went out.
The door was closed.
Zhou Fenglin glanced at Xia Wenhe.
Xia Wenhe coughed lightly: "Ning Xi, why are you so late today?"
"I was late because of something at the hospital. What do you need me for?" Xia Ningxi asked in return.
Xia Wenhe said, "Today's banquet is quite grand, with many guests. Everyone is quite curious about your sister's situation, and I hope you won't embarrass her."
"I don't understand what you're saying," Xia Ningxi said irritably.
Xia Wenhe said, "Wanwan will marry into the Huo family in the future. You are a smart person and should know what I mean. In front of outsiders, I hope you will not mention anything related to Huo Nanxiao, so as not to make things difficult for your sister."
"If you're afraid of others gossiping about Xia Wanwan, you should keep it to yourself instead of trying to warn me. I won't listen to you anyway." Xia Ningxi didn't give him any face at all.
Xia Wenhe was furious: "Are you determined to kill your sister before you're satisfied?!"
"Heh, I didn't do anything to Xia Wanwan. Besides, I saved Xia Wanwan's life. What right do you have to accuse me of trying to kill her? Are you so eager to slap a dirty label on me? I still remember everything you did to me back then!" Xia Ningxi sneered.
Xia Wenhe suddenly stood up, pointing his finger at Xia Ningxi's nose: "Why did Wanwan become like this back then? It's all your fault! It's only right that you saved her! You know what you've done. If you hadn't ruined Wanwan like this, how would you have had the chance to marry into the Huo family?"
"Now that Wanwan has woken up, she has to marry into the Huo family. You'd better not get in her way, otherwise..."
"Otherwise what?" Xia Ningxi narrowed her eyes slightly.
Xia Wenhe said, "Making a scene like this won't do you any good. If you insist on hurting Wanwan, I don't mind sending you to jail."
"Oh."
Xia Ningxi chuckled softly.
Her clear eyes were frighteningly cold.
Xia Ningxi stood up from her seat and walked step by step toward Xia Wenhe. She grabbed Xia Wenhe's hand that was pointing at her, pinched his knuckles, and said, word by word, "Father, I'm warning you one last time, don't push your luck too far."
Xia Wenhe, his face ashen, demanded, "I am your father, how dare you rebel?"
"I am Huo Nanxiao's wife. As long as I don't move, Xia Wanwan can forget about entering the Huo family. If you really want me to give up my position as the eldest daughter-in-law of the Huo family, you should straighten out your attitude!"
"Make Xia Wanwan kneel down and beg me. If I'm happy, I'll give up my seat. If I'm not happy, no one can get rid of me."
Xia Ningxi chuckled softly, her clear and melodious laughter almost too pleasant to hear.
but!
Zhou Fenglin was furious at Xia Ningxi's smug laughter. Her daughter could have married into the Huo family and become the eldest daughter-in-law, but because of that bitch Xia Ningxi, her life was ruined.
Now that bitch Xia Ningxi dares to laugh in front of her?
Zhou Fenglin was furious and rushed forward to slap Xia Ningxi.
"You bitch! If you hadn't stolen Wanwan's place, would I be looked down upon by so many people? And you dare to threaten me, making my Wanwan kneel before you? I'll beat you to death!"
Before Zhou Fenglin could even slap Xia Ningxi across the face, Xia Ningxi grabbed her wrist, followed by a sharp scream. Zhou Fenglin's wrist joint immediately dislocated; her bones were really brittle...
Xia Ningxi smiled and said, "I forgot to tell you, I studied orthopedics for half a year."
Xia Wenhe was furious: "She's your mother! Are you crazy? How dare you hurt her!"
"I have no blood relation to her whatsoever." Xia Ningxi snorted coldly, turned around gracefully, and left!
Xia Wenhe was furious and wanted to call out to Xia Ningxi, but seeing Zhou Fenglin groaning in pain, he had no choice but to turn back and comfort Zhou Fenglin.
As for Xia Wanwan outside the door, she was completely unaware of what had happened inside, but she clearly heard Zhou Fenglin's screams. Xia Wanwan pushed the door open to go in, only to see Xia Ningxi walking out with great ease, her whole body shrouded in cold air.
Looking into the living room, Xia Wanwan immediately understood what was going on when she saw Zhou Fenglin's hand in a very strange position.
"Ning Xi, stop right there!" Xia Wanwan called out angrily.
Xia Ningxi, who had already walked a few steps away, turned back and coldly questioned, "What are you doing?"
"What did you do to my mother?" Xia Wanwan asked angrily.
Xia Ningxi said, "Don't you have eyes to see?"
"We're all family, why did you do this? Why!" Xia Wanwan's voice was somewhat shrill.
Xia Ningxi chuckled: "You and them are the real family. My brother and I were kicked out of the house by your family a long time ago, have you forgotten?"
"Your brother wanted to take you out himself. Father and Mother never drove you away. How can you slander them like this?" Xia Wanwan looked at Xia Ningxi in disbelief, feeling that Xia Ningxi was a complete stranger at this moment.
However, from childhood to adulthood, only Xia Wanwan and Xia Luoluo received love and affection.
They can certainly defend their doting parents.
But Xia Ningxi and Xia Jingcheng are different!
If Xia Jingcheng hadn't insisted on taking Xia Ningxi away, she probably would have died long ago.
What does Xia Wanwan know?
She had the care of her parents and the love of Huo Nanxiao. Even after being ill for so many years, the Xia family and Huo Nanxiao never thought of giving up on Xia Wanwan.
But what about Xia Ningxi?
Everyone wanted her dead, everyone...
Xia Ningxi said, "You've been the one who profited from the beginning, so you can stand on the moral high ground and criticize me, but what kind of good person are you? What are you pretending for?"
Xia Wanwan was stunned. She had never heard such harsh words before. Her face turned pale instantly. She bit her lip tremblingly and said incredulously, "Xia Ningxi, I am your sister. I have never hurt you. How could you say such a thing to me?"
"Have you never hurt me?" Xia Ningxi raised her voice.
Xia Wanwan shook her head: "No."
"Then tell me, why were you injured back then? Why did you end up like this? Your simple 'I don't remember' has made me take the blame for so many years! Do you know how I've survived all these years?" Xia Ningxi was furious.
"I...I don't know, I really don't remember anything from back then," Xia Wanwan explained.
Xia Ningxi gave a light scoff. "That's the answer again!"
She was too lazy to ask anymore, since there was no point in asking anyway.
"Let's not see each other again. You don't need to bother me with anything you have to do. I don't want to see any of you again."
She left after saying just one sentence.
"Ning Xi, let me explain. I really didn't mean to. I really can't remember."
Xia Wanwan spurred her wheelchair to catch up with Xia Ningxi, wanting to keep her there to explain things clearly. She didn't notice at all that someone had been hiding in the corner for a long time.
As Xia Wanwan approached the stair landing, Xia Luoluo took advantage of everyone's inattention and gave Xia Wanwan's wheelchair a vicious shove!
"ah--"
Xia Wanwan and her wheelchair tumbled down the stairs!
When Xia Ningxi turned around, the huge wheelchair was already crashing down on her, and her pupils suddenly constricted!
Bang--
Xia Ningxi couldn't avoid it in time and was knocked down the stairs.
