Chapter 802 You Know My Purpose
Xia Wanwan was also furious. She knew that Zhou Fenglin wanted to climb the social ladder by marrying Huo Nanxiao, but now she was married to Huo Nanxiao and became his wife in name. The Xia family was also gradually recovering from the previous blows. Why were they still not satisfied?
A fire was burning in Xia Wanwan's heart. Her eyes were red as she stared at her mother: "Have you all forgotten what Huo Nanxiao said last time? If I hadn't protected you, he would have skinned you alive long ago. And now you still dare to have such an idea?"
"Isn't it because you can't have children? If you could, Huo Xiuyuan wouldn't even let you in the door." Zhou Fenglin said, exasperated.
Xia Wanwan said angrily, "Your demands are way too high! Before, all you wanted was for me to marry Huo Nanxiao, but now your appetites are getting bigger and bigger!"
“Since you are already Huo Shao’s wife, it is your duty to bear children for him. Isn’t it because you are useless? I am your mother, would I harm you? Who am I doing this for? Isn’t it all for you?” Zhou Fenglin spoke earnestly, not even understanding why Xia Wanwan was angry.
They're all family, so what if Young Master Huo doesn't like Luo Luo?
Now that the Huo family has no heirs, Huo Xiuyuan is naturally waiting for Xia Ningxi's bastard children.
If they could have given birth to a son or daughter for the Huo family sooner, it would be much harder for Huo Nanxiao to get rid of them.
Zhou Fenglin said earnestly, "Wanwan, you have to think about the entire Xia family. Young Master Huo is so young, there are plenty of women out there trying to seduce her. Only by having a child from the Huo family can she secure her position."
Xia Wanwan took a deep breath: "What about Xia Ningxi? She also had children with Nan Xiao, three in total, and now she's ended up having to leave her hometown. Trying to keep a man by having children is the most foolish thing to do."
"Can that idiot Xia Ningxi be compared to us? She's not even as good as one of your fingers. She's so stupid and has no tricks up her sleeve."
"It's no wonder she can't gain a foothold by Huo Shao's side, but you're different. You have me as your mother to plan for you, so you'll never end up like Xia Ningxi." Zhou Fenglin was quite confident.
Xia Wanwan didn't know what to say about this mother.
Outsiders envy her for marrying Huo Nanxiao effortlessly and taking everything that belonged to Xia Ningxi, but only she knows the difficulties involved.
Xia Wanwan left the Xia family in a daze and returned to the huge private villa.
No one bothered her, and she became the envy of everyone, but for some reason, she couldn't be happy at all.
"Is Nan Xiao coming back tonight?" Xia Wanwan asked the housekeeper.
The butler lowered his head and said, "I'm not going back."
"He hasn't been back for a long time," Xia Wanwan said, feeling disappointed.
Butler: "There must be too much going on at the company."
"If he comes back, you must tell me immediately," Xia Wanwan requested.
The butler nodded, which was taken as agreement.
Huo Nanxiao has been staying at the company for the past few days. Apart from handling official business, the only thing he cares about is Xia Ningxi. He has not been able to see Xia Ningxi, but he has learned that Li Yancheng went to Desla Continent.
He knew Li Yancheng's character; he would never leave the capital at a time like this unless it was something important. And since he didn't have any partners in Desla Continent, the only possibility was to go find someone.
He sent people to follow Li Yancheng, but the guy didn't even see Xia Ningxi.
Huo Nanxiao felt better and less angry than before, but he couldn't feel happy at all.
After finishing his work in a somber mood, he rubbed his temples wearily.
"President, it's already eight o'clock, everyone has gone home," Ye Su kindly reminded him.
Huo Nanxiao said, "You should go back first."
"Okay." Ye Su didn't hesitate for a moment and turned to leave.
"Oh, right," Huo Nanxiao suddenly said.
Ye Su stopped in her tracks: "Is there anything else you need to tell me, President?"
"How are the arrangements for tomorrow's press conference?" Huo Nanxiao asked.
Ye Su said, "Everything has been arranged, and there are no problems with the Ling family. However, the Ling family requires the president to bring Miss Wanwan to tomorrow's press conference."
"Okay," Huo Nanxiao replied casually.
Ye Su left.
He leaned back in his chair, his eyes slightly narrowed, feeling a bit chilly. He looked up at the air conditioner and realized that the air conditioning was already turned down to the lowest setting.
After taking a quick hot shower in the lounge, he turned on the TV, but his eyes weren't on it. He kept staring at his phone, calling Xia Ningxi.
As before, there was no response.
Huo Nanxiao was terribly depressed and didn't sleep well all night.
The press conference the following day will announce the cooperation between the Ling family and Huo Nanxiao. Ling Shuang will attend with her family, and Huo Nanxiao will naturally bring Xia Wanwan along.
This is the first time Huo Nanxiao and Xia Wanwan have appeared together at a press conference since their marriage.
Unlike others, Xia Wanwan needed bodyguards to escort her throughout the entire process. Even when she arrived at the scene, she could only sit in a wheelchair, which looked quite pitiful.
Seeing Xia Wanwan surrounded by a crowd from afar, Ling Shuang said sarcastically, "Young Master Huo is truly a good person from beginning to end."
"We are just business partners. Miss Ling is being far too interested in my private affairs," Huo Nanxiao said coldly.
Ling Shuang: "Isn't it because you've been harassing my brother's attending physician time and time again when you have nothing better to do?"
“You know my purpose,” Huo Nanxiao replied.
Ling Shuang scoffed, "My brother is going abroad in a few days to receive treatment overseas."
Huo Nanxiao's expression froze.
Ling Shuang smiled slightly: "He still needs to have several more surgeries. Tang En and the others can't stay in the capital to guard him all year round, so we have reached a consensus with Tang En that he will leave with his people. That's good too, and I don't have to worry about President Huo harassing him every few days."
He said this with a hint of smugness and mockery.
In fact, Ling Shuang knew Huo Nanxiao's thoughts better than anyone else. He simply wanted to pry Xia Ningxi's information out of Tang En, but Ling Shuang would never allow Huo Nanxiao to do so.
"The weather is exceptionally nice today, so the president's wife must be in a great mood too." Ling Shuang's gaze fell on Xia Wanwan, and she smiled, asking Huo Nanxiao, "The reporters will definitely make things difficult for her later. Aren't you going to rescue her?"
Huo Nanxiao's face was gloomy, and he didn't want to speak, but it was obvious to everyone that he was angry.
Just as Ling Shuang had predicted, even with bodyguards protecting her, Xia Wanwan was almost overwhelmed by the group of reporters. He quickly walked towards Xia Wanwan.
Only after Huo Nanxiao had walked away did Tian Chunxia appear behind Ling Shuang, her expression grave: "Do we really want to cooperate with the Huo family?"
“This is my elder brother’s intention,” Ling Shuang replied.
Tian Chunxia frowned: "He rarely interferes in your affairs. In recent years, he has been expanding overseas projects. I don't know why he insists on cooperating with Huo Nanxiao this time. It's really strange."
