Chapter 789 Don't Gossip in Front of Dad
These words completely hit Xia Wanwan where it hurt. How could she, who was already emotionally fragile, bear such humiliation and blow? Her pitiful eyes were so red they looked like they could bleed, and she pushed Huo Nanxiao away with all her might.
"Get away from me, don't worry about me!" Xia Wanwan yelled at Huo Nanxiao.
Huo Nanxiao said, "Calm down."
Xia Wanwan: "I'm more clear-headed than ever now! Huo Nanxiao, get out. I don't want anything to do with you anymore. I don't want anything to do with you anymore. Get out!"
She was filled with grief and indignation, and at that moment she had only one thought in her mind: to disappear completely.
She knew what she was about to face: disgrace, loss of everything, and becoming the laughingstock of everyone. This was not the life she wanted.
The proud Xia Wanwan would not allow herself to crawl in the shadows like a rat in a gutter; that was never what she wanted!
She frantically climbed towards the window, ignoring everyone's attempts to stop her, wanting only to leap out, but Huo Nanxiao stopped her.
Xia Wenhe anxiously advised, "Wanwan, please don't do anything rash."
Zhou Fenglin also cried: "Young Master Huo won't abandon you. You mustn't do anything foolish."
"Don't stop me, this is my own decision!" Xia Wanwan's voice was hoarse.
Huo Nanxiao: "Your solution is to jump off from here?"
"It's none of your business," Xia Wanwan said stubbornly.
Huo Nanxiao: "I will handle this matter well. Trust me, this is the last time."
A glimmer of hope appeared in Xia Wanwan's tear-filled eyes as she looked at Huo Nanxiao, unsure whether to believe his words.
But when Xia Wanwan saw Huo Xiuyuan and Xia Ningxi, she felt that her life was a joke.
She shook her head, refusing Huo Nanxiao: "I don't want to put you in a difficult position, nor do I want anyone to feel that I'm forcing you. I was lucky to be alive, and I'm already very grateful to have lived this long."
“You believe me,” Huo Nanxiao said.
Xia Wanwan was unsure whether to trust Huo Nanxiao, but in the end, her gaze fell on Huo Xiuyuan and Xia Ningxi.
Everyone knows that Huo Xiuyuan hates Xia Wanwan so much because of Xia Ningxi's existence.
Before Xia Ningxi returned to China, Huo Xiuyuan had never said a bad word about Xia Wanwan, which could be considered as tacitly acknowledging Xia Wanwan's status as his future daughter-in-law.
But ever since Xia Ningxi returned alive and appeared in the capital with two children, the Huo family's attitude towards her has completely changed.
Huo Xiuyuan only had eyes for his three grandchildren and couldn't tolerate anyone else. Even though Xia Wanwan had secretly pledged her life to Huo Nanxiao many years ago, she couldn't compare to Xia Ningxi.
Huo Nanxiao eventually invited Xia Ningxi and Huo Xiuyuan outside.
He didn't want to offer any explanation regarding Xia Wanwan's situation.
“Dad, you saw what Xia Wanwan looked like. If she really jumps off the building today, the Huo family will be in big trouble,” Huo Nanxiao said.
Huo Xiuyuan's eyes sharpened: "What do you mean?"
“I will appease her. As for you, don’t show your face in front of her again. I could turn a blind eye to your repeated troubles with her before, but if your goal is to drive her to her death, then I will not stand idly by this time.”
Huo Nanxiao's attitude was very tough.
This time, he would not stand idly by; he could not bear to watch Xia Wanwan die at Huo Xiuyuan's hands.
If Huo Xiuyuan insists on doing so, Huo Nanxiao doesn't mind going against him.
Huo Xiuyuan laughed in exasperation: "Are you blind? Can't you see she's acting?"
“She’s not joking.” Huo Nanxiao knew Xia Wanwan’s personality better than anyone else.
Huo Xiuyuan: "Heh, she's not kidding when she says she'll stop at nothing to achieve her goals."
"Does it give you the right to bully a sick person?" Huo Nanxiao questioned.
Huo Xiuyuan's face turned ashen: "Is this how you lecture your own father?"
"Dad knows what I mean," Huo Nanxiao said coldly.
Huo Xiuyuan was so angry at these words that he almost couldn't catch his breath, and his body, which was about to collapse, lost its balance in an instant.
Xia Ningxi immediately helped Huo Xiuyuan up and patted him on the back to calm him down before angrily scolding Huo Nanxiao: "Shut up."
Huo Nanxiao: "Send him back, and don't go around gossiping about him anymore."
Xia Ningxi's heart skipped a beat. She clenched her fists and questioned, "You feel sorry for your fiancée?"
"Send Dad back." Huo Nanxiao did not directly answer Xia Ningxi's question.
However, his attitude was clear: he believed that Xia Ningxi was gossiping in front of Huo Xiuyuan, which was why Huo Xiuyuan was targeting Xia Wanwan.
To put it bluntly, it's all Xia Ningxi's fault.
How ridiculous! If his fiancée were truly virtuous, who could possibly humiliate her?
Suppressing her anger, Xia Ningxi said to Huo Xiuyuan, "Dad, let's go back."
"I won't go back!" Huo Xiuyuan had no intention of letting Xia Wanwan off easily.
Xia Ningxi said, "If you don't leave, Huo Nanxiao will think I'm trying to sow discord again."
Huo Xiuyuan was furious, but he also knew that no matter what he did, the Xia family would hold Xia Ningxi responsible.
They dared not retaliate against Xia Ningxi for everything Huo Xiuyuan had done, and he agreed to leave.
On the way back, Xia Ningxi gave Huo Xiuyuan acupuncture. He was in poor health and had been feeling dizzy recently because he was upset by Xia Wanwan. He needed to take care of his health.
After returning to the Huo family, Xia Ningxi wrote a prescription for the housekeeper to get the medicine, and then took a taxi and left.
The news of Xia Wanwan's suicide attempt spread like wildfire. At first, the media only reported that she was sent to the hospital. Later, someone maliciously spread rumors that Xia Wanwan was driven to suicide by Xia Ningxi.
As the story spread, it became increasingly outrageous, until finally everyone believed that Xia Ningxi was the one who almost killed Xia Wanwan.
She was inexplicably scolded, and she had no idea what had happened.
Huo Xiuyuan got angry and had someone give Xia Wanwan's family a dressing down, but in the end, Huo Nanxiao took the initiative to approach Xia Ningxi.
Seeing his luxury car, worth tens of millions, blocking the hospital entrance, Xia Ningxi knew he was up to no good and decisively took a detour.
"Stop." Huo Nanxiao got out of the car, and his cold command could shatter one's eardrums.
She pretended not to hear and walked even faster.
"Xia Ningxi!" Huo Nanxiao was angry.
Everyone around looked over, their eyes fixed on Xia Ningxi.
Xia Ningxi was embarrassed. With a dark expression, she turned around and walked up to Huo Nanxiao: "What do you want with me?"
"Get in the car first, it's not convenient here," Huo Nanxiao said.
Xia Ningxi glanced around and, not wanting to be laughed at, got into Huo Nanxiao's car.
He drove to a deserted beach, parked the car on an empty main road, and found it desolate with no one around.
Xia Ningxi thought to herself: Could he be planning to kill me to cover it up?
"Why did you bring me here?" Xia Ningxi asked.
Huo Nanxiao said, "I want Tang En to continue treating Wanwan's illness."
“Impossible,” Xia Ningxi refused.
Huo Nanxiao: "Wanwan lost too much blood and suffered a major blow due to emotional breakdown. Today, the doctor diagnosed that her legs may be paralyzed. I need a professional to treat her."
