Chapter 416 Let you go on a secret rendezvous
Xia Luoluo thought Xia Wanwan was a lunatic, and who was Xia Ningxi anyway? Why should she apologize to Xia Ningxi?
"You're just my older sister, what right do you have to order me around? And why should I listen to you!" Xia Luoluo was furious.
“You can disobey me, but you can’t do something so vicious. Have you thought about what would happen if something happened to me? What would happen if something happened to Xia Ningxi? Such a high staircase, such a big wheelchair, if you’re unlucky, you could kill someone. And you don’t even have the slightest bit of remorse?” Xia Wanwan’s eyes were filled with unfamiliarity.
She felt that her sister shouldn't be that kind of person.
Even if Xia Luoluo dislikes Xia Ningxi and wants to embarrass her, she can't use her or even harm herself!
"Luo Luo, you have disappointed me so much." Xia Wanwan was heartbroken.
Xia Luoluo said, "Sister, what about you? I've been taking care of you all these years. You haven't shown any concern for me since you woke up. Instead, you've stood up for Xia Ningxi. You clearly hate Xia Ningxi too, so why are you pretending to be so righteous? Who are you trying to fool!"
"I'm protecting her? Xia Luoluo, why am I protecting her? Isn't it all for you!"
Xia Wanwan said angrily, "Xia Ningxi didn't push me at all. Just because you framed her today is enough for her to guess that you did it. Have you thought about the consequences if Xia Ningxi exposes this matter?"
Our family wasn't originally a prominent family in the capital. We only managed to establish ourselves here by relying on the Huo family's influence. If other guests find out that you accidentally pushed me down the stairs, how will they view you in the future?
"At that time, not only will you be ruined, but the entire Xia family's reputation will be destroyed. Who would dare to do business with the Xia family? Who would dare to marry a daughter of the Xia family? Making you apologize to Xia Ningxi is just to get her to let you off this time and not make things difficult for you. Don't you understand such a simple principle?"
In this matter, Xia Wanwan thought more deeply than Xia Luoluo.
She cared about the prosperity and decline of her entire family. She knew how difficult it was to get by in the bustling prison of the capital city without a family background.
They are not heiresses born into wealthy and powerful families. To gain a foothold in high society, they must be of good character and do their best in everything in order to earn the praise and respect of others.
Xia Luoluo is not only ruining her own future, but also ruining the future of Xia Wanwan and even the entire Xia family.
Xia Wanwan was almost driven mad by Xia Luoluo. She was so agitated that she almost couldn't catch her breath, and her face turned blue with anger.
Xia Luoluo just watched coldly, showing no intention of helping. She even hoped that Xia Wanwan would die on the spot, but then she thought that if Xia Wanwan died like this, wouldn't Xia Ningxi be able to return to Huo Nanxiao's side and become the high and mighty eldest young mistress of the Huo family?
That position, revered by thousands and respected by all, must never be allowed to fall into the hands of others!
Xia Luoluo forced a smile, stepped forward to pat Xia Wanwan on the back, and whispered, "Sister, I'm sorry, I was wrong. You're right, I was wrong. Please forgive me."
Her initiative to show weakness actually calmed Xia Wanwan's anger considerably.
No matter what, Xia Luoluo is still her younger sister, and she still has feelings for Xia Luoluo.
Xia Wanwan's expression softened considerably. She said, "Since you know you're wrong, go buy some gifts and apologize to Xia Ningxi properly. As long as you're sincere, she shouldn't make things difficult for you."
"Does my sister still want me to apologize?" Xia Luoluo clenched her fists. "I didn't mean to, why do I have to apologize to her?"
Xia Wanwan said, "You are my own sister, and I can forgive you no matter what you have done, but Xia Ningxi is different."
"Ha! Does Sister know that Xia Ningxi is now living under the same roof as Huo Nanxiao? If I go to apologize to them, what will Huo Nanxiao think?" Xia Luoluo retorted.
All emotions froze on Xia Wanwan's face at that moment. Her eyes were filled with confusion and disbelief at Xia Luoluo's words!
"What...what did you say?" Xia Wanwan's voice trembled.
Xia Luoluo sneered: "Don't you know, sister? Xia Ningxi has been living with Huo Nanxiao. She might even be sleeping in the same bed with him. If Xia Ningxi whispers in his ear, I'll be in big trouble."
"cough……"
"Cough cough..."
Xia Wanwan coughed violently, and finally coughed up blood!
"My sister vomited blood." Xia Luoluo's eyes were icy.
Xia Wanwan coughed violently. She tried to stand up by holding onto the table with one hand, but she lost her balance and fell heavily to the ground. Her cough worsened, and more and more blood appeared at the corner of her mouth.
"Medicine, Luo Luo, my medicine..." Xia Wanwan stretched out her hand to Xia Luo Luo with difficulty.
"I'll go find you a doctor."
Xia Luoluo didn't hand the medicine to Xia Wanwan, and turned to leave.
By the time the doctor arrived, Xia Wanwan had already lost consciousness.
...
Huo Nanxiao received a call from Xia Wenhe on his way home.
"Young Master Huo, something terrible has happened! Wanwan has suddenly fallen seriously ill. Please come and see her."
"What's going on?" Huo Nanxiao's expression hardened.
Xia Wenhe said, "She must have injured her internal organs tonight. The doctor said her condition is very critical."
Huo Nanxiao glanced at Xia Ningxi, who was fast asleep beside him. Her sleeping posture was strange; she was always on her side, afraid to put pressure on her left shoulder, which meant she must be injured.
In response to Xia Wenhe's request, Huo Nanxiao lowered his eyes and said softly, "Isn't there a doctor here?"
“This is different, Young Master Huo, please come and see Wanwan.” Xia Wenhe pleaded.
As Huo Nanxiao was contemplating whether to have Lu Qi turn back to find Xia Wanwan, the girl sleeping beside him suddenly woke up.
Xia Ningxi opened her eyes sleepily and leaned back in her chair.
"He's awake," Huo Nanxiao said in a deep voice.
Xia Ningxi stretched and asked, "Where are we? Aren't we home yet?"
"Young Madam, we'll be at Lan Courtyard in ten minutes," Lu Qi replied politely.
Xia Ningxi said, "Put me down at the intersection ahead."
"Young Madam?" Lu Qi was shocked.
Huo Nanxiao asked, "Where are you going so late?"
"Didn't you want to go find Xia Wanwan? Just drop me off up ahead, I'll take a taxi back myself, no need to trouble you." Xia Ningxi was quite considerate and had no intention of trying to stop Huo Nanxiao.
After the car came to a complete stop, Xia Ningxi opened the car door without thinking and prepared to get out.
Huo Nanxiao grasped her wrist.
"Is there anything else?" Xia Ningxi asked, puzzled.
"I'll take you back." Huo Nanxiao's attitude was firm.
Xia Ningxi said, "Xia Wanwan needs you."
"I'll handle her own affairs. Sit down."
Huo Nanxiao ordered that Xia Ningxi be given no chance to escape.
“If you miss the chance to spend time with Xia Wanwan because you took me back, and something happens, I can’t bear the responsibility. I don’t want to be blamed by a group of people like this again.”
She didn't appreciate it.
The atmosphere inside the car became very oppressive.
Lu Qi, who was driving, wiped the cold sweat from his forehead and couldn't help but say, "Young Madam, let us take you home. Hasn't Young Master Li been in contact with you? What if he takes you away again when you're not paying attention? That wouldn't be good."
"Li Yancheng contacted you?" Huo Nanxiao's eyes narrowed, and his aura changed instantly.
Before Xia Ningxi could speak, Lu Qi, the big mouth, couldn't wait to answer: "Yes, yes, Young Master Li just contacted Young Madam not long ago, and actually wanted to ask Young Madam to meet him alone."
Huo Nanxiao's dark eyes were terrifyingly deep: "Is everything Lu Qi said true?"
"Li Yancheng did contact me, is there a problem?" Xia Ningxi asked back.
Huo Nanxiao asked, displeased, "What does he want with you?"
"I don't know," Xia Ningxi replied casually, pouting slightly.
Huo Nanxiao was angry: "Confess honestly!"
"How would I know what he wants from me? I'm not even familiar with him," Xia Ningxi said impatiently.
Huo Nanxiao scoffed, "Not familiar? He's never been this attentive to any woman before. Are you really not familiar with each other?"
"There's nothing I can do if that's how you think."
She was too lazy to argue.
Xia Ningxi wondered what kind of nonsense was going through Li Yancheng's head. She wanted to pry open his head to see what was going on, but she didn't have the chance. So she didn't know what had gotten into Li Yancheng that made him want to cause trouble for her.
If he wanted to get revenge on Huo Nanxiao, he only needed to focus all his energy on Xia Wanwan. Making Xia Wanwan sad and hurt would be the best way to get revenge on Huo Nanxiao. Who knows why that guy liked to take such extreme measures and cause trouble for Xia Ningxi, his unloved first wife.
However, Xia Ningxi was too lazy to explain. The fall from the building had really hurt terribly. She just wanted to go back quickly, take some painkillers, and get a good night's sleep. She didn't want to argue with Huo Nanxiao anymore.
She chose to remain silent.
But what Xia Ningxi didn't know was that her silence only confirmed Huo Nanxiao's suspicions. His face turned ashen, and he unceremoniously pulled Xia Ningxi into his arms, pinched her chin, and kissed her lips.
"Ugh... What are you doing?" Xia Ningxi was angry.
Huo Nanxiao bit her lip, and only after hearing the girl groan in pain did his anger subside a little.
"Return to Lanyuan." This was said to Lu Qi.
Lu Qi stepped on the gas and drove straight towards Lanyuan.
As for Xia Wenhe's call, it had already been disconnected.
Xia Ningxi watched Huo Nanxiao drive her home, a feeling she couldn't quite describe rising within her.
She didn't know why Huo Nanxiao wanted to go back with her. Based on Huo Nanxiao's past attitude towards Xia Wanwan, he would have gone to find Xia Wanwan immediately after learning that something had happened to her, and would have completely ignored her.
It wasn't the first time he'd abandoned her late at night to run off to find Xia Wanwan.
Xia Ningxi had no desire to continue sleeping. Leaning against the window, avoiding looking at Huo Nanxiao's face, she asked seriously, "You're neglecting her now to send me back. If she knew, she would be very upset."
Huo Nanxiao asked coldly, "So what? Let you out of the car now? So you can go and meet other men in secret?"
"Are you sick in the head?" Xia Ningxi's lips twitched, and she immediately lost her temper.
