Chapter 428 Don't die here, it's bad luck!
Xia Wanwan didn't understand why Li Yancheng suddenly had such a big opinion about her, and she didn't understand why he was so targeted when he mentioned Xia Ningxi.
Xia Wanwan and Li Yancheng did have some interaction back then. Although their relationship wasn't particularly good, it wasn't so bad that they spoke ill of each other.
Xia Wanwan, who had only intended to go out for a casual stroll to clear her head, became upset because of Li Yancheng's words. The gentleness on her face vanished in an instant, replaced by indifference and dissatisfaction.
"I don't think I've offended Young Master Li. Aren't you going a bit too far by speaking so harshly to me?" Xia Wanwan said angrily.
Li Yancheng smiled slightly: "What's wrong? Are you unhappy because I hit the nail on the head?"
"What are you talking about? I don't know what you're talking about!" Xia Wanwan said with a stern face.
Li Yancheng leaned back with interest, a mocking smile playing on his lips: "Do you really not remember what happened back then, or are you pretending?"
"What is it?" Xia Wanwan demanded.
Li Yancheng said, "Regarding the matter of saving Huo Nanxiao..."
"I don't remember." Xia Wanwan had no recollection of this matter.
Li Yancheng smiled and said, "Don't you remember, or do you simply not know about this? Should I come and tell you myself, Miss Xia?"
"I can tell that Young Master Li doesn't seem to like me, so I don't want to hear a single word you have to say. Ning Xi is my own sister, and her child is also my child. Don't even think about trying to sow discord between us sisters."
At this moment, Xia Wanwan had already built up a defense in her heart, treating Li Yancheng as an enemy, and she did not want to reveal too much to Li Yancheng.
Li Yancheng laughed: "Xia Ningxi is your sister? A well-educated socialite is indeed different from others."
"Is it interesting to have a gun in your hand?" Xia Wanwan said.
Li Yancheng: "Does Huo Nanxiao know you're putting on such a show?"
Xia Wanwan's lips and teeth were pale, and her face looked extremely unpleasant.
Li Yancheng laughed sarcastically: "Xia Ningxi's child has no blood relation to you whatsoever, so how did it become your child? Miss Xia, are you out of your mind? You wouldn't be thinking of using Xia Ningxi's child to get into the Huo family, would you? Is that even possible?"
“This is between Nan Xiao and me, and it has nothing to do with you.”
Xia Wanwan gripped her sleeves tightly with both hands.
Li Yancheng sneered: "Heh, I've known Nan Xiao for so many years, I know exactly what he's thinking. Putting aside your background and appearance, how can you compare to Xia Ningxi? So what if you were the number one socialite? That's all in the past."
Xia Ningxi is now the chief physician of the capital city. She's capable, young, and most importantly, she's given the Huo family two grandsons. Look at you, what makes you think you can compare? If I were you, I wouldn't have the face to show my face in public. Hiding away would be the best thing to do."
"What does Young Master Li want to say? That he wants me to leave? But Nan Xiao and I have been together for a long time. He promised to marry me, and I trust Nan Xiao." Xia Wanwan's eyes were filled with determination.
Li Yancheng scoffed, "Would he abandon his two sons for you? Or would he sever ties with his parents for you?"
One sentence left Xia Wanwan speechless.
These past few days, Xia Wanwan had been trying to comfort herself, telling herself that Huo Nanxiao would not go back on his promise to her. But at this moment, Xia Wanwan's heart wavered.
It seems that it's a fact known throughout the entire capital that Old Master Huo dislikes Xia Wanwan.
Even if Huo Nanxiao promised to marry her, those two children weren't hers after all, and Xia Wanwan couldn't really take the children away from Xia Ningxi; she couldn't do such a thing.
She fell silent, head bowed, her heart sinking to the bottom.
"Why are you telling me all this? What's in it for you?" Xia Wanwan asked him.
Li Yancheng said, "I just want to see what kind of decision the former top socialite would make in this situation."
"To put it bluntly, you just want to see me make a fool of myself," Xia Wanwan chuckled.
Li Yancheng said, "You're right. I just wanted to see how different you were. Now it seems you're a shameless person. A so-called first socialite? Is this the kind of person you are?"
"You've gone too far!" Xia Wanwan said angrily.
Li Yancheng didn't take Xia Wanwan seriously at all: "Did I say something wrong? This is already considered mild. If it weren't for the fact that you are paralyzed on one side and in a wheelchair, I would have said something even harsher. Do you want to hear it?"
"Since Young Master Li is so unwelcoming to me, then there's no need for me to stay any longer. I'll take my leave first." Xia Wanwan steered her wheelchair outside.
Yao Qing stood in front of Xia Wanwan, blocking her way.
Xia Wanwan said, "Li Yancheng, are you not planning to let me leave?"
"Since you're already here, sit a while longer," Li Yancheng replied casually.
Xia Wanwan said, "There's no need for that."
“I have no patience for a woman like you. You’d better think this through,” Li Yancheng warned.
Xia Wanwan gripped the wheelchair tightly with both hands. She deeply regretted trusting Li Yancheng and going with him.
Looking at Yao Qing blocking her way, Xia Wanwan knew she couldn't leave.
She said, "I haven't done anything to you, so why are you keeping bothering me?"
"Because you're unlucky."
Li Yancheng was very decisive.
Almost without thinking, the words made Xia Wanwan's lips twitch violently. She was truly unlucky. After being sick for so many years, she finally woke up, only to encounter the oddball Li Yancheng.
"If anything happens to me, Huo Nanxiao will not let you off the hook," Xia Wanwan said, mustering her courage.
Li Yancheng smiled and said, "I have another reason for keeping you here. There aren't many women as shameless as you anymore. Huo Nanxiao might really pay a price for you. So you just stay here and don't think about disobeying me. Otherwise, I can make you lie in bed for another six years."
Xia Wanwan's face turned deathly pale. She was burning with anger because of Li Yancheng, and she almost couldn't catch her breath.
"Yao Qing, take him away. Don't let him die here; it's bad luck."
Li Yancheng didn't even bother to roll his eyes at her, and ordered Yao Qing to take her away with obvious disdain.
Xia Wanwan tried to resist, but to no avail.
Li Yancheng glanced at his phone; it was empty. That damned Xia Ningxi still hadn't replied to his messages, which made Li Yancheng a little angry.
He lost interest in the leisurely pleasure of taking a sightseeing cruise and put on his coat to leave the Bund.
Suddenly, several subordinates rushed over.
"Young Master Li, Huo Nanxiao has arrived."
Li Yancheng paused in his dressing, then scoffed disdainfully, "This guy's come at just the right time. Go get me a cup of tea."
"Yes, Young Master Li." The subordinate immediately went to make tea.
Li Yancheng impatiently threw off his coat and sat back down; it was clear he was very annoyed.
Huo Nanxiao wasn't the only one who came; Fu Xiyu was also there.
These two have been hanging out together a lot lately, and they've been giving Li Yancheng a hard time.
Li Yancheng snorted coldly: "What wind blew you two out here?"
"Where is she?" Huo Nanxiao demanded.
"I'm taking a rest." Li Yancheng didn't bother with beating around the bush.
Huo Nanxiao said, "I don't want to waste my breath on you. Hand over the person."
"Huo Nanxiao, aren't you being too nosy? You want to control Xia Ningxi, and you want to control Xia Wanwan too? What? Do you expect me to listen to you?" Li Yancheng sneered.
Huo Nanxiao: "Don't force me to shoot you."
"Heh, if you really don't care about Xia Wanwan's life or death, you can certainly take action against me. However, if anything happens to me, not only will Xia Wanwan be in danger, but you won't be able to leave here unscathed either. So let's sit down and talk things over. There's no need to resort to knives and guns." Li Yancheng spoke casually, leaning back lazily.
"Li Yancheng, if you don't want to die, hand over the person immediately." Fu Xiyu couldn't sit still any longer and angrily rebuked him.
Li Yancheng said, "This is between me and Huo Nanxiao, it's none of your business."
"What if I insist on interfering?" Fu Xiyu also lost his temper.
Li Yancheng's nonchalant smile vanished completely, and his eyes, once filled with wickedness and amusement, turned icy cold: "What does this have to do with you?"
“That matter is long over, why do you insist on bringing it up?” Fu Xiyu questioned.
"It's over? Heh, you're not the one who died, so of course you can just laugh it off."
Under the lights, Li Yancheng's eyes were terrifyingly sinister, his sharp gaze seeming to tear people apart.
When Yao Qing returned, he saw Li Yancheng and Huo Nanxiao confronting each other. He quickly stepped forward and blocked Fu Xiyu's way: "Young Master Fu, it's late, you should go back and rest."
Fu Xiyu asked, "What do you want to do?"
"The ship is about to depart. If Young Master Fu disembarks now, he can go home and get a good night's sleep tonight," Yao Qing reminded him.
Fu Xiyu said, "What if I don't leave?"
"Then I have no choice but to offend you."
Yao Qing gave a look to her subordinates behind her, and the group quickly walked over to Fu Xiyu, intending to forcibly take him away.
Fu Xiyu instantly became enraged and kicked one of them away.
Upon seeing this, Yao Qing's face hardened, and he rushed forward to attack.
"Have you made enough of a scene?"
Huo Nanxiao rebuked him sternly.
Yao Qing paused and stopped.
"You go back first," Huo Nanxiao said to Fu Xiyu.
Fu Xiyu said, "If you stay, this guy can destroy the evidence and no one will know."
“He doesn’t have the guts,” Huo Nanxiao replied.
Fu Xiyu said, "It's not like he hasn't done this kind of thing before. Back then, it was because of him that you almost lost your life, and it was also because of him that Wanwan has been in a coma for so many years."
"Haha." Li Yancheng suddenly laughed.
Fu Xiyu angrily asked, "How dare you laugh?"
"You seem to care a lot about Xia Wanwan?" Li Yancheng asked in return.
Fu Xiyu said, "Wanwan is my good friend, so of course I care about her."
"Just friends? You know way too much. How can you be so sure that Xia Wanwan became a vegetable because of me? Did she tell you?" Li Yancheng retorted.
Fu Xiyu said, "You know perfectly well what you did back then!"
