Chapter 425 He Will Not Break His Promise
Xia Wanwan spoke gently to Huo Yuan while holding some snacks, but Huo Yuan didn't dare to pay much attention to her.
"I have snacks, thank you, I don't need any more." Huo Yuan politely thanked Xia Wanwan and ran off.
The tiny little dumpling hid behind Xia Ningxi, its fair little hand holding Xia Ningxi's hand.
Seeing this, Xia Wanwan felt a little disappointed. She tried her best to appear indifferent and smiled at Xia Ningxi, saying, "Ningxi, Ayuan likes you very much."
"Mm," Xia Ningxi replied.
Xia Wanwan was so embarrassed that she didn't know what to say.
Suddenly, Song Yan asked, "Dr. Xia, why did you bring your child today? We don't think we invited you."
One sentence instantly made the atmosphere extremely tense.
Xia Wanwan grabbed Song Yan's hand, signaling her to stop talking.
Song Yan pressed on, "Isn't Huo Yuan registered under Wanwan's name? How could Dr. Xia be with him?"
These words were clearly an accusation against Xia Ningxi!
Her meaning was to question Xia Ningxi: Huo Yuan had already been given to Xia Wanwan, so why should she keep Huo Yuan by her side? She should have kept Huo Yuan with Xia Wanwan!
Everyone in the private room looked over.
Ji Feibai immediately pulled Song Yan aside and said, "You don't understand anything about this, so don't interrupt."
"Did I say something wrong? Everyone in the entire capital knows this, there's no way I could be wrong, right?" Song Yan retorted.
Ji Feibai lowered his voice: "That's enough, stop talking nonsense."
“I’m not making this up. You’ve all seen what the media has been reporting lately. Everyone thought Wanwan was going to marry Huo Shao, but now Xia Ningxi suddenly appears with several children. How is Wanwan supposed to face this in the future?” Song Yan couldn’t help but feel indignant on Xia Wanwan’s behalf.
Xia Ningxi hadn't originally planned to come see Xia Wanwan, but Huo Nanxiao insisted on bringing her and the child. She never expected that someone would cause her trouble here.
She gave a cold smile, her beautiful eyes fixed on Xia Wanwan, and said, "Wanwan, is this your friend?"
“Yes, I am Wanwan’s friend. Is there a problem?” Song Yan asked back.
Xia Ningxi ignored Song Yan and continued to say to Xia Wanwan, "She seems to be meddling a bit too much."
Not wanting to embarrass herself, Xia Wanwan grabbed Song Yan's hand and said, "Okay, Song Yan, stop talking. Ning Xi is my sister. We've finally managed to sit down and chat, so let's not bring up those things."
"Why can't we mention it? You have no idea what people outside are saying about you. Aren't you afraid of being talked about behind your back?" Song Yan didn't want to let the matter drop so easily.
Her insistence made Xia Wanwan very embarrassed.
Xia Wanwan knew very well that although Huo Yuan was registered under her name, the child was not hers. It was normal for Huo Yuan to return to Xia Ningxi's side and be raised by her.
If this argument continues, it will only embarrass Xia Wanwan.
She didn't answer Song Yan's question, but took the initiative to apologize to Xia Ningxi: "I'm sorry, Ningxi, don't worry about it. Song Yan doesn't know much about our affairs, so please don't take it to heart."
"It's alright, anyway, A Yuan is mine, and I can't possibly give him away just because of what other people say." Xia Ningxi acted with composure.
That one sentence left Song Yan speechless.
She was furious.
Is Xia Ningxi planning to just snatch Huo Yuan away?
She's gone way too far!
Song Yan wanted to curse, but Xia Wanwan stopped her. She was furious, but seeing Xia Wanwan's pleading eyes, Song Yan could only swallow back the words she was about to say.
She took a bite of ice cream, feeling rather down.
Xia Ningxi snorted and shoved a piece of fruit into Huo Yuan's hand.
Huo Yuan immediately put down all the candies and snacks they gave him, took the fruit with both hands, and said sweetly, "Thank you, Mommy."
Xia Ningxi smiled gently.
Xia Wanwan watched this scene calmly, not feeling that anything was wrong, after all, Xia Ningxi was Huo Yuan's biological mother.
Xingxing, who had been silent the whole time, sat in the corner. He hadn't said a word during the argument and had been observing Xia Wanwan the whole time. For some reason, even though Xia Wanwan seemed very gentle and threatening, Xingxing just didn't like her.
Xingxing didn't understand why Xia Wanwan would interfere and insist on destroying their family when she clearly knew that Daddy already had them and Mommy.
Therefore, the stars naturally wouldn't make Xia Wanwan feel comfortable either.
The little guy walked up to Huo Nanxiao and said in a childish voice, "Daddy, I'm sleepy. I want to go home and rest. Can Daddy take me home?"
"You're sleepy so soon?" Huo Nanxiao was a little surprised. It was still very early. Xingxing was usually full of energy and rarely slept at this time.
Xingxing said, "Yes, I've been running around at school all day and I'm tired. Let's go home."
Xingxing climbed up Huo Nanxiao's legs, snuggled into his arms, and hugged Huo Nanxiao with her chubby little hands.
Seeing that the little guy really wanted to sleep, Huo Nanxiao said to Fu Xiyu, "I'm going back now, the child needs to rest."
Fu Xiyu said, "You're leaving so soon? Sit a little longer. I have some company matters to discuss with you. There's a rest room nearby; let the child rest there for a while."
Xingxing's lips twitched violently, thinking she had misheard!
I've never heard of a coffee shop that has a separate room for people to sleep in!
At Fu Xiyu's insistence, Huo Nanxiao decided to stay a little longer, while Xia Xingxing was naturally arranged to "sleep" in the room!
Fu Xiyu strongly invited Huo Nanxiao to stay, also to discuss cooperation between the two companies.
Over the years, the Huo family has grown stronger and has firmly established itself as the number one wealthy family in the capital. This is not only due to Huo Nanxiao's exceptional abilities, but also to the strong cooperative capabilities of the various families.
Several powerful families practically monopolized the entire imperial city.
However, since Han Musen returned to China, their troubles have been increasing day by day.
Now, with the addition of Li Yancheng, everyone is having an even bigger headache.
The Fu family's company has been targeted by professionals several times, which has had a significant impact. Just a few days ago, their back office was breached and confidential information was stolen, resulting in the Han family snatching away a project that they thought they had won.
Fu Xiyu said to Huo Nanxiao, "Ever since the Imperial City introduced the Li family's Beidou Starlink system, our company's backend has been frequently hacked and information stolen. I think this is related to Li Yancheng. Has your company experienced this situation before?"
"Yes," Huo Nanxiao replied.
Fu Xiyu frowned: "So, we've all been monitored by him."
Ji Feibai: "That's right. The Li family's satellite system can cover the entire capital city. It would be easy for that guy to find out our location. We've fallen into his trap this time. I don't know where Old Master Jin found this guy. He's really screwed us all over. Can we get rid of this guy?"
Huo Nanxiao said, "No, the Imperial City needs the Li family's satellite system. Unless we can bring in an equally excellent technology company, the Imperial City will continue to choose to cooperate with the Li family."
“Then let’s take care of Li Yancheng,” Ji Feibai said.
Huo Nanxiao and Fu Xiyu exchanged a glance.
"Xia Ningxi, why don't you take the children over there to play for a bit?" Huo Nanxiao suddenly said to Xia Ningxi.
Xia Ningxi took the child and left, too lazy to listen to what they were saying afterward.
Xia Wanwan and Song Yan knew it would be impolite to stay any longer, so they left the private room with Xia Ningxi.
Xia Ningxi and her two children found a corner to sit and wait for Huo Nanxiao to take them home.
After pushing Xia Wanwan's wheelchair out of the private room, Song Yan saw Xia Ningxi sitting with her child and went over to her.
"Is it alright for us to sit here?" Song Yan asked.
Xia Ningxi said, "Do as you please."
She pulled out a chair and sat down directly opposite Xia Ningxi, arms crossed, and said arrogantly, "Dr. Xia is a smart person. Wanwan is kind and gentle. She doesn't want to fall out with you because she's a good person, but as her friend, I can't just stand by and watch her be bullied."
"And then?" Xia Ningxi asked in a completely indifferent tone.
Song Yan said, "Everyone in the entire capital city knows that Young Master Huo is going to marry Wanwan. Huo Yuan has been raised by the Xia family all these years. I think you know very well how Young Master Huo treats you. If I were you, I should stay away from Young Master Huo. You are an adult. Don't you even have this much sense of boundaries?"
Xia Ningxi smiled slightly: "My affairs with Huo Nanxiao are none of your business."
"Do you really want me to spell it out? Wanwan will definitely marry into the Huo family in the future. Now that you're entangled with Young Master Huo, what will people think of Wanwan? Do you only feel satisfied when everyone is pointing fingers at Wanwan and laughing at her behind her back? How can you be so vicious?" Song Yan became more and more agitated as she spoke.
Xia Wanwan immediately grabbed Song Yan's hand and said angrily, "That's enough, stop talking."
Afterwards, she quickly apologized to Xia Ningxi: "Ningxi, I'm sorry, Song Yan was just too concerned about me. Please don't take her words to heart. I absolutely did not mean to take the child from you."
Song Yan turned around abruptly to look at Xia Wanwan, her eyes filled with disbelief.
"Are you crazy? Was it Xia Ningxi who ruined you back then?"
Xia Wanwan said, "That's all in the past, so don't bring it up again."
Song Yan was furious: "Your current physical condition makes it impossible for you to have children. Old Master Huo will definitely not allow you to enter the Huo family. Aren't you afraid that your position as the eldest daughter-in-law of the Huo family will be taken away by someone else!"
Xia Wanwan said, "Nan Xiao loves me. He promised to marry me, and he will definitely keep his word. Ning Xi is my sister, so please don't make things difficult for her anymore."
Song Yan was angry at their lack of ambition and felt disappointed in them for not living up to their potential.
Xia Wanwan's casual explanation revealed a hidden meaning in her words to Xia Ningxi.
Is Xia Wanwan telling herself that Huo Nanxiao will definitely marry her?
Haha, no wonder Xia Wanwan is so calm.
