Chapter 843 We Don't Welcome You
She turned over to continue sleeping, but as soon as she moved, a sharp pain shot through her body, waking her up instantly and causing her to gasp.
"Don't move, you need to rest now," Huo Nanxiao reminded him.
It took Xia Ningxi a while to recover from the pain. Her brain worked quickly, and she remembered that her car had broken down and caused an accident.
"Is this a hospital?" Xia Ningxi asked, looking around in confusion.
Huo Nanxiao replied, "It's a hospital."
Xia Ningxi: "Why are you here?"
"I came to see you," Huo Nanxiao replied readily.
Xia Ningxi responded with an "oh," said "thank you," and then fell silent.
She checked her body and found that all four limbs were intact, but there were abrasions all over her body, which explained why it hurt so much.
I've been having a lot of bad luck lately; I had an accident on my first long trip.
"Did you go see Wanwan today?" Huo Nanxiao suddenly asked.
Xia Ningxi met his eyes and nodded: "Yes."
"You two had a conflict in the coffee shop?" Huo Nanxiao asked again.
Xia Ningxi said unhappily, "Are you here to interrogate her?"
“Your car accident this time was not an accident.” Huo Nanxiao’s voice was very low.
Xia Ningxi was slightly taken aback. Was it not an accident? Could someone have tried to poison her?
Within seconds, Xia Ningxi's mind was filled with all the people she had ever had a grudge against.
She hasn't offended many people over the years; you could count them on your fingers. And even fewer would dare to come to Lingcheng to kill her.
In China, most of those who attacked her were Huo Nanxiao's enemies. After her divorce from Huo Nanxiao, no one bothered her anymore. Well, there was one more.
"You mean Xia Wanwan did it?" Xia Ningxi asked.
Huo Nanxiao remained silent, but his attitude was clear: this matter was inextricably linked to Xia Wanwan.
"Where is the perpetrator? I remember someone deliberately rammed my car before the accident," Xia Ningxi asked.
Huo Nanxiao: "He's already dead."
"Dead?" Xia Ningxi asked, somewhat agitated. "How did he die?"
Huo Nanxiao: "He crashed his car off a cliff and died from a head injury."
"Heh, you really went all out, that was a living life! You're saying all this to me today, you must have all the evidence, right? You want to exonerate Xia Wanwan?" Xia Ningxi stared at Huo Nanxiao, asking each word clearly.
She knew Huo Nanxiao too well. If he didn't need her help, why would he stay by her side in the hospital?
In his entire life, when had Huo Nanxiao ever cared about her so much?
The only possibility is that he wanted to protect Xia Wanwan.
Xia Ningxi, supported by the bed, shakily got out of bed.
Huo Nanxiao tried to help her up but she pushed him away forcefully. She then called Tang En.
Tang En and Ling Shuang arrived in less than three minutes.
Both of them breathed a sigh of relief after confirming that Xia Ningxi was alright.
Ling Shuang glanced thoughtfully at Huo Nanxiao, then quickly walked to Xia Ningxi's side and lowered her voice: "Xia Wanwan has been locked up by us. There's something fishy about your car accident. We've found concrete evidence that Xia Wanwan was the one who hired someone to kill you."
Don: "You can do whatever you want with her."
Ling Shuang agreed: "The Ling family will support you."
They now have concrete evidence that allows them to send Xia Wanwan to prison and let her spend the rest of her life there, but the decision-making power for this matter still needs to be given to Xia Ningxi.
At this time, Xia Wanwan was still locked up next door. All the evidence pointed to Xia Wanwan as the mastermind, but Xia Wanwan did not admit it.
“Xia Wanwan wants to see you. She says you can clear her name,” Ling Shuang said.
Tang En was so angry he laughed: "She ruined Ning Xi like this and still wants Ning Xi to clear her name? Does she have no shame?"
Ling Shuang: "If you don't want to deal with Xia Wanwan, we can take her directly to the police station."
As she said this, she glanced at Huo Nanxiao, as they were preparing to take action against Xia Wanwan while also guarding against Huo Nanxiao interfering.
Xia Ningxi was not in the mood to care about Xia Wanwan's current situation. She said, "I'm very tired right now and want to rest. Let's talk about it later."
"Okay, then you get some rest. We'll head out now." Ling Shuang nodded and ushered everyone out of the ward.
Huo Nanxiao, however, remained unmoved.
Soon, only the two of them were left in the ward.
Xia Ningxi didn't want to pay attention to Huo Nanxiao, so she turned over and said, "You should go out too, I'm tired."
"You don't trust her." Huo Nanxiao had already seen through it all.
Xia Ningxi: "Did you instruct her to come to me today to change the custody of the child?"
Huo Nanxiao frowned: "No."
Xia Ningxi: "If you hadn't given her that confidence, she wouldn't have dared to come to me."
"I won't go back on my word since I've already promised you." Huo Nanxiao's face turned cold.
He did not condone Xia Wanwan's troubles with Xia Ningxi, nor did he mention wanting to fight for custody of the child again. As for why Xia Wanwan did this? Perhaps it was out of fear.
To this day, the Huo family has still not been able to accept Xia Wanwan.
He might not even be able to accept her in the future.
Huo Nanxiao understood all of this, and Xia Ningxi knew it better than anyone else.
The ward was unusually quiet.
Xia Ningxi sat on the hospital bed without saying a word.
She didn't know how much time had passed when the nurse came to change her dressing. Only then did Xia Ningxi speak: "You can go out now."
Huo Nanxiao didn't move.
The nurse couldn't very well drive him away, so she applied the medicine to Xia Ningxi right in front of him.
She had many scrapes and abrasions on her body, and they looked painful.
She endured the pain without uttering a sound, and only after the nurse changed her dressing did she slowly say to Huo Nanxiao, "I want to sleep. I don't want anyone around to disturb me."
"You go to sleep, I'll be leaving in a bit," Huo Nanxiao said.
Xia Ningxi remained silent.
Before the effects of the medicine had completely worn off, she soon drifted off to sleep again.
Huo Nanxiao sat by Xia Ningxi's bedside for a long time until it got dark before he remembered that no one was taking care of the three children. So he rushed to the kindergarten to pick them up.
At first, the head of the kindergarten was unwilling to hand over the children to him, but later he learned from Huo Nanxiao that Huo Nanxiao was their biological father and reluctantly handed over the three children.
The children sensed something was wrong when they got into Huo Nanxiao's car; they looked around but couldn't find Xia Ningxi.
"Daddy, where's Mommy?" Huo Yuan asked, puzzled.
Huo Nanxiao replied, "She has to work overtime recently and doesn't have time to take care of you. You can stay at my place for the next few days."
“No, we can’t go back with Daddy.” Xingxing was very wary and immediately objected.
Huo Nanxiao: "I'm informing you."
"I'm not going. I don't want to go back with you." Xingxing was very resistant.
Chu Chu started making a fuss: "I don't want to go either, I want my mommy, I want to find my mommy, I don't want to go with you."
Huo Nanxiao said coldly, "She's busy."
"Nonsense, even if Mommy is busy, she would tell us herself. She would never let Daddy take us away." Xingxing knew Xia Ningxi well. He guessed that something must have happened that prevented Xia Ningxi from coming to pick them up, which is why Huo Nanxiao was able to take advantage of the situation.
Huo Yuan: "Daddy, where did Mommy go? Why didn't Mommy come to pick us up?"
Chu Chu: "Yes, where did Mommy go? Did you hide Mommy? I want Mommy, I want Mommy!"
Little Chu Chu, with her cute yet fierce expression, started howling.
Huo Nanxiao had a headache listening to this, and at the children's insistence, he sent them back to his home.
After arriving home, Xingxing immediately called Xia Ningxi.
"Mommy, Daddy's here to pick us up from kindergarten."
“He’s in our house, I don’t know what he’s up to.”
"I think Daddy has ulterior motives. Is Mommy busy? Please come back soon."
Xingxing immediately complained after Xia Ningxi answered the phone.
Xia Ningxi's current condition is not suitable for seeing the children, so she reassured them, "I'm a bit busy these days and can't go back for the time being. You can stay with Daddy for a couple of days without worry, it'll be fine."
"Okay." Xingxing felt disappointed, as if something was wrong, but he couldn't quite put his finger on it.
After hanging up the phone, Xingxing asked Huo Nanxiao, "Daddy, you can come home now. We've grown up and don't need you to take care of us anymore."
"Is he five years old yet?" Huo Nanxiao asked in return.
Xingxing said, "Uncle Ling has arranged a nanny for us. I just need to make a phone call and the nanny will come to take care of us immediately. We don't need you."
"Stay put and follow me closely these next few days, and don't have any other ideas," Huo Nanxiao interrupted Xingxing.
Chu Chu asked in a cute but fierce tone, "Aren't you going to be with your new wife? What are you doing at our house? You're not welcome."
"Yes, not welcome!" Huo Yuan nodded repeatedly.
The three little ones stood on a united front and strictly resisted Huo Nanxiao.
