Chapter 639 I Want Xia Ningxi
After returning to Lanyuan, Xia Ningxi set an alarm and took a nap, planning to pick up her child from kindergarten after waking up. However, she learned from the housekeeper that Huo Xiuyuan had already taken the child to the Huo family's old residence, perhaps because he missed his three children.
Thinking that the three children wouldn't be in any danger at the Huo family's house, she didn't pay much attention and went into the kitchen to make a simple bowl of noodles.
The housekeeper said, "Young Madam, Young Master Huo just called. He'll be back to pick you up in a bit. He's planning to go to the Xia family's house."
"I understand." Xia Ningxi smiled slightly.
After dinner, she went upstairs to put on makeup and specially chose a beautiful dress to match her delicate high heels.
When Huo Nanxiao returned to pick up Xia Ningxi, he saw her dressed up in her finest attire. Her stunningly beautiful appearance was breathtaking. But why did she dress up so meticulously?
"All packed up?" Huo Nanxiao asked.
Xia Ningxi glanced at herself in the mirror. She looked beautiful, but her hands were empty, and she didn't have a nice bag. She suppressed the regret in her eyes and said, "Okay, let's go now."
"What's missing?" Huo Nanxiao asked her.
Xia Ningxi said, "I need a bag to carry my phone."
Huo Nanxiao glanced at her empty hands, but didn't answer. He simply handed her the car keys and told her to get in.
They are a married couple after all. If it were someone else, and their wife didn't have a bag, they would probably buy it for her without hesitation, right?
This stingy miser is very generous to Xia Wanwan, but he won't spend a penny on her.
Her resentment towards Huo Nanxiao intensified.
So Xia Ningxi didn't want to talk to Huo Nanxiao at all along the way.
Huo Nanxiao could tell that she didn't want to talk to him, so he said, "When we get to the Xia family, don't get angry or argue with them."
"Is that possible?" Xia Ningxi asked back.
Huo Nanxiao said, "As long as you don't say anything, this argument won't start."
"You know perfectly well that I don't get along with them, yet you still insist that I go to the Xia family with you. Isn't that just so you can make me have a fight with them?" Xia Ningxi sneered.
Huo Nanxiao said, "With me here, they won't dare to make things difficult for you. As for why we must take you along, there are some things that Wanwan needs to explain to you personally."
Xia Ningxi fell silent. What else was there for her and Xia Wanwan to say?
The two of them were never meant to coexist.
In the end, only one person was left.
Xia Ningxi had already been abandoned by Huo Nanxiao countless times, so how could she possibly expect Huo Nanxiao to choose to believe in her at this time?
Her existence was simply to give Xia Wanwan a better future.
Having come to terms with this reality, Xia Ningxi no longer wanted to get involved in Huo Nanxiao and Xia Ningxi's affairs. Besides, the evidence that Li Yancheng could submit was probably not very good.
Perhaps it's true, as Li Yancheng said, that she deliberately pushed Xia Wanwan into the sea back then because she was jealous of Xia Wanwan and wanted to get rid of her.
Xia Ningxi leaned against the car window, quietly gazing at the scenery outside.
During rush hour, the roads were very congested; even a 200-meter stretch could take ten minutes to clear. This exhausted Xia Ningxi, who yawned and went back to sleep.
Huo Nanxiao glanced at Xia Ningxi's peaceful sleeping face, said nothing, but instructed the driver to slow down the car considerably.
At this very moment...
Li Yancheng has been at the Xia family's house for three hours now.
He sat in Xia Wanwan's room, idly playing with the diary on the table.
Xia Wanwan sat opposite him, feeling nervous and scared.
The door to the room was tightly closed. Zhou Fenglin and Xia Luoluo stood guard outside the door, not leaving for a moment, fearing that something uncontrollable might happen inside the room if they left.
As for why Li Yancheng came to find Xia Wanwan, she already understood.
Xia Wanwan opened the unfamiliar video she had received on her phone a few days ago and questioned Li Yancheng, "You sent this to me, didn't you?"
Li Yancheng raised an eyebrow, realizing at a glance what had happened; their Li family's system had indeed been hacked.
"It wasn't me," Li Yancheng denied.
Xia Wanwan said, "Who else could it be but you? Li Yancheng, what exactly do you want? I have no grudge against you, why are you so determined to keep targeting me?"
She was being driven crazy by Li Yancheng.
She hadn't done anything wrong, nor had she provoked Li Yancheng, yet every single time, he was the one who came looking for trouble and verbally humiliated her. Xia Wanwan didn't understand why!
Li Yancheng lazily curled the corners of his mouth: "I'm not interested in you. You're the one who came to provoke me."
"When have I ever taken the initiative?" Xia Wanwan said angrily.
Li Yancheng said, "When you're full of lies."
"I can see that you're here to stand up for Xia Ningxi, right? Why do you have to drag me into your mess with Xia Ningxi?" Xia Wanwan understood that Li Yancheng was here to stand up for Xia Ningxi.
But she was overthinking it.
Li Yancheng said, "I don't believe you have no memory of what happened back then. You must remember how you fell into the sea and how you were injured, right?"
"I don't remember," Xia Wanwan denied.
Li Yancheng said, "You don't remember? Heh, then let me tell you, back then you wanted Xia Ningxi dead. If Xia Ningxi hadn't been a good swimmer, she would have died at your hands long ago."
"Do you have any evidence?" Xia Wanwan denied it: "I didn't do such a thing. Don't accuse me if you don't have any evidence!"
Li Yancheng chuckled: "Since I'm here, it's because I have absolute evidence. I've brought all of this. I have a deal with Huo Nanxiao. To prevent him from causing any more trouble in the future, I can give you all of this evidence. As for whether you want to give it to Huo Nanxiao, that's up to you."
"However, I'm warning you beforehand. This imperial city can only have one mistress, and Huo Nanxiao can only have one person by his side. It's either you or Xia Ningxi."
"Xia Ningxi can still live a good life without Huo Nanxiao, but without Huo Nanxiao's support, how will you establish yourself in the capital city in the future? Think it through!"
The man's cold voice was dangerous and terrifying.
Xia Wanwan clenched her fists, her fists tightening little by little. How could she not know what would happen after losing Huo Nanxiao?
But if what happened back then was really as Li Yancheng said, and she also wanted to harm Xia Ningxi, then what's the difference between her and Xia Ningxi? She was also a person with ill intentions.
What will Huo Nanxiao think then?
Perhaps in Huo Nanxiao's heart, she is no longer someone he can trust?
Xia Ningxi has been married to him for so long and has several children with him. Now Huo Nanxiao's attitude towards Xia Ningxi is obviously better than towards her. How could Xia Wanwan not care at all?
With red eyes, she asked Li Yancheng, "What exactly do you want?"
Li Yancheng replied, "I want Xia Ningxi."
