Chapter 755 Why Should I Listen to You?
Xia Wanwan was so nervous that she was sweating profusely. More than half a year had passed since she woke up. During this long period of time, Xia Wanwan had not thought about what happened back then because she couldn't remember when she had saved Huo Nanxiao. However, since everyone believed that she was Huo Nanxiao's savior, Xia Wanwan accepted it as a matter of course.
She enjoyed all the benefits everyone gave her, and everything the Huo family provided for her. She even became so delusional that she believed she deserved it all, which is why she was so determined to marry Huo Nanxiao.
She thought no one else knew about this. Even though Li Yancheng had caused her a lot of trouble before, Xia Wanwan had never doubted the truth of what happened back then. But now that Li Yancheng brought up that matter in front of so many people, she panicked.
Xia Wanwan froze, unsure how to refute Li Yancheng's words. Her eyes reddened slightly: "I've forgotten everything that happened in the past, so whatever Young Master Li says goes. I have nothing to explain."
"You can't think of a rebuttal, can you?" Li Yancheng mocked.
Xia Wanwan's face was extremely pale, and she bit her lip without saying a word.
Xia Ningxi, who hadn't spoken until now, stepped forward and said, "Since you know everything, then just say it all at once."
“I’ve already made myself clear, and I’ve presented the surveillance footage from when the incident happened. It’s up to Huo Nanxiao to decide whether he dares to play it in front of everyone,” Li Yancheng said.
Fu Mingyan: "Since Young Master Li dares to produce the evidence, it means that what he said must be true."
Ji Feibai: "With so many people watching, why don't we just clarify things in front of everyone?"
Jin Mingxi: "That's right."
The Xia family panicked. They all looked at Xia Wanwan, and in a daze, they remembered that Xia Wanwan had said she had never saved Huo Nanxiao and had no recollection of this matter.
The couple thought Xia Wanwan had been in a coma for too long and had forgotten what happened back then, which was why she was talking nonsense. They didn't take her words to heart. But now that someone has come forward to accuse Xia Wanwan and provided evidence, this matter has become serious.
Zhou Fenglin lowered his voice: "Wanwan, think carefully about what exactly happened back then. They are obviously after you and want to ruin your reputation. Think carefully and don't fall into their trap."
"I can't remember." Xia Wanwan's voice trembled.
Zhou Fenglin: "How could you forget something so important? Think about it again!"
Xia Wanwan pursed her lips and remained silent.
Xia Luoluo said, "If my sister can't remember, that's fine. Li Yancheng is just an outsider. Let him say whatever he wants. We just don't need to pay attention to him. As for the evidence, there's no need to show it in front of so many people. Didn't he already give us the CD containing the evidence? We don't need to listen to him."
Although Xia Luoluo didn't want Xia Wanwan to marry Huo Nanxiao and take away the position that rightfully belonged to her, they were, after all, family. They shared both glory and ruin. If Xia Wanwan were to be disgraced at this time, the entire Xia family would have no chance of recovery. She knew that protecting Xia Wanwan was the most important thing right now.
As for the rest, we'll talk about it later!
After seeing Huo Nanxiao come downstairs, Xia Luoluo stepped forward without hesitation: "Brother-in-law, things have already gotten very ugly today. I don't think we should let Xia Ningxi and Li Yancheng stay here any longer. Let them leave."
This is a direct order to leave, silencing everyone.
Huo Nanxiao looked at Xia Luoluo with a complicated expression, but did not speak.
“My sister’s health is already poor, and now she has been humiliated like this by them, leaving her physically and mentally exhausted. Does my brother-in-law want to make my sister faint from anger?” Xia Luoluo’s voice was somewhat agitated.
"Things haven't been sorted out yet. Even if I'm going to leave, I'll only do so after the whole truth comes out," Xia Ningxi said.
Xia Luoluo: "The matter has long been sorted out. You know perfectly well what happened back then. Why make everyone unhappy in this kind of setting?"
Xia Ningxi: "If there are doubts, they should be clarified in public."
"You're insulting my sister," Xia Luoluo said angrily.
Xia Ningxi sneered: "I just want to find out the truth, and I also want to know exactly what happened back then. After all, I was also a victim in this matter!"
Xia Ningxi had completely forgotten what happened back then. After waking up, she found herself to be the murderer who almost killed Xia Wanwan, while Xia Wanwan became Huo Nanxiao's savior. She and her brother were kicked out of the house, but Xia Wenhe's family lived a prosperous life because Xia Wanwan had saved Huo Nanxiao's life.
But if the story of saving Huo Nanxiao back then was a lie, then what is real?
Perhaps, she didn't kill Xia Wanwan at all?
Perhaps it's all a misunderstanding!
Xia Ningxi was filled with trepidation. The doubts that had been weighing on her heart for many years were about to be revealed at this moment, and she would not allow anyone to simply gloss over them.
“Li Yancheng, since you know the truth about what happened back then, just tell me clearly. Stop beating around the bush. I just want to know what exactly happened back then,” Xia Ningxi questioned.
Li Yancheng said, "I told you, she never saved Huo Nanxiao."
“But that’s not what you said before,” Xia Ningxi asked.
Li Yancheng replied, "I just wanted to see how long she could keep up the act. I didn't expect her to be so capable, actually daring to marry Huo Nanxiao under the guise of being his savior. But since Huo Nanxiao truly loves her, it's not a big deal if he's been deceived by Xia Wanwan."
"Look at the Xia family, they all wish they could gag me. If I were to expose the shameful things they did back then, they would probably hate me. They would rather I disappear from here right now."
He laughed and joked, his words full of teasing.
Xia Wanwan didn't want Li Yancheng to continue talking nonsense, but if she strongly expressed her desire to drive him away, it would confirm everyone's thoughts. Xia Wanwan didn't want to bear such a bad reputation, but she also didn't want people to ruin her wedding banquet. She could only place her hopes on Huo Nanxiao.
Only Huo Nanxiao can drive Li Yancheng away now.
"Nan Xiao, he did it on purpose. He deliberately said those things at our wedding just to ruin it." Xia Wanwan grabbed Huo Nan Xiao's sleeve, her voice hoarse.
"I know." Unlike others, Huo Nanxiao was unusually calm at this moment. He glanced at Xia Wanwan's hand that was holding his and pushed her away imperceptibly.
Xia Wanwan staggered, but still tried to appear strong. Her eyes were red as she looked at the man in front of her in disbelief. She opened her mouth, but no sound came out.
Huo Nanxiao ignored Xia Wanwan and instead said to Li Yancheng, "Have you said enough?"
"No," Li Yancheng replied.
Huo Nanxiao: "If you haven't said enough, go outside and say it."
Li Yancheng smiled: "Don't you want to know the truth about what happened back then?"
"It's not important." Huo Nanxiao said coldly, his sharp eyes fixed on his face: "If you're here to cause trouble, I advise you to leave. If you're just here to ask for a drink at a wedding, I can let you stay."
"Heh, they're already protecting each other right after getting married." Li Yancheng scoffed and said to Xia Wanwan, "If you had known Huo Nanxiao cared about you so much, you wouldn't have needed to hide it. This whole family is lying. They must have gone to great lengths to climb the social ladder by marrying into the Huo family. Now it's all over. Huo Nanxiao doesn't care about the truth of what happened back then. All he cares about is Xia Wanwan. You don't need to pretend anymore."
That's a sarcastic remark; who would feel comfortable hearing that?
Xia Wanwan was already being criticized for breaking up Xia Ningxi's family, and now Li Yancheng has labeled her a liar, dragging her whole family into it. Xia Wanwan was furious.
But she dared not utter a sound; she was genuinely afraid that Li Yancheng would continue to expose this matter.
"Nan Xiao, what are you planning to do?" Xia Wanwan asked in a low voice.
Huo Nanxiao: "Go upstairs and rest first. I'll handle this matter."
"Okay." Xia Wanwan breathed a sigh of relief. She asked Xia Luoluo to help her up and turned to leave with her family.
"Stop." Xia Ningxi called out to her.
Xia Wanwan asked, puzzled, "What are you trying to say?"
“You weren’t the only victim back then. Since even the story of saving Huo Nanxiao was a lie, I’m also curious to know what else was a lie. So you can’t leave until everything is cleared up,” Xia Ningxi said.
Xia Wanwan: "You knew perfectly well that Li Yancheng was deliberately humiliating me and ruining my wedding with Nan Xiao."
“He wouldn’t have falsely accused you in front of so many people if he had no evidence,” Xia Ningxi said.
Xia Wanwan: "With so many guests here, are you really going to expose these ugly things? What good will it do you? We're family, blood is thicker than water. You and I share the same surname, Xia. Why do you have to say these bad things in front of so many people? In the end, only our own people will be affected."
“I’ve already severed ties with the Xia family, so you don’t need to bring up family ties. I was cursed as a murderer for so many years because of you. Is it wrong for me to want to know the truth about what happened back then?” Xia Ningxi questioned.
Xia Wanwan: "But I've forgotten what happened back then. Li Yancheng was the murderer who almost killed Nan Xiao back then. How can you believe what he says? Can't you see that he's using you?"
"Since you think what he said is unbelievable, why be afraid? You can stay and confront him. If Li Yancheng is framing you, and I brought him here today, I'm willing to take full responsibility, even if it means going to jail. But if it's not a frame-up, you must give me an explanation!" Xia Ningxi's attitude was very firm.
Unable to persuade Xia Ningxi, Xia Wanwan could only cast a pleading look at Huo Nanxiao.
Huo Nanxiao's expression was serious as he said to Xia Ningxi, "We'll discuss this matter after the wedding banquet."
"You want to protect her?" Xia Ningxi could tell at a glance that this was Huo Nanxiao's expedient measure.
Huo Nanxiao: "This is not the right occasion to talk about anything unrelated."
"I think it's perfect for him!" Xia Ningxi didn't indulge him.
The more Huo Nanxiao opposed something, the more Xia Ningxi wanted to do it.
Why should she listen to Huo Nanxiao?
Why should Xia Ningxi have to swallow her anger just to save Xia Wanwan's face?
Hasn't she endured enough humiliation all these years?
