Chapter 869 You didn't know she couldn't have children!
"Xia Ningxi, because of you, we have all become a laughing stock, ridiculed by outsiders!"
"Do you know what the people who came to the birthday banquet today have been saying about our family behind our backs?"
“Wanwan is now the eldest daughter-in-law of the Huo family, a prominent figure who will shine in the upper echelons of the capital in the future. You can’t ruin her.”
"This time you came to provoke us and made everyone lose face. I don't blame you, but don't let it happen again, or don't blame me for being ruthless as your father!"
Xia Wenhe made a harsh statement, having long since lost patience with Xia Ningxi.
At this moment, all he wanted was for Xia Ningxi to disappear from this world completely.
Xia Ningxi had lost all feelings for him and ignored his warnings: "If I don't listen, what can you do to me?"
"You don't want a second car accident like the one you had last time, do you?" Xia Wenhe's voice was full of danger.
Xia Ningxi's eyes turned cold: "Is this related to you?"
"If I were to make a move, would you still be alive?" Xia Wenhe sneered.
Xia Ningxi clenched her fists: "Since you know what they did, how dare you threaten me?"
“You blocked Wanwan’s way and the Xia family’s way. If you had been obedient, none of this would have happened. It’s all your fault. They were just a bit too extreme, but they did nothing wrong.”
Xia Wenhe walked closer to Xia Ningxi step by step, looking down at her: "Although you are my daughter, you are far less valuable than Wanwan. She can bring endless wealth to the Xia family, while you are just an ingrate. Even if you marry the world's richest man, you will not bring the Xia family any benefit. Why should I protect you?"
"I see." Xia Ningxi gave a self-deprecating smile. "So it's because I didn't give the Xia family enough money, so you're going to abandon me and my brother. I wish you success, but it'll never happen to you in this lifetime."
Xia Wenhe grabbed Xia Ningxi's hand angrily: "What do you mean?"
"You don't know yet, do you? Xia Wanwan can't have children. Her body is already ruined. Your dream of rising to prominence is going to be shattered." Xia Ningxi smiled.
Xia Wenhe was struck dumb: "Impossible, this is impossible! The doctor said Wanwan is in good health and only needs a little care to have a baby."
"That was just a lie to comfort you," Xia Ningxi said softly.
Xia Wenhe was extremely agitated: "You're lying to me!"
"Why would I lie to you? I was Xia Wanwan's attending physician before, and I know her condition best. You think you can use the child to keep Huo Nanxiao? That's impossible."
Xia Ningxi's words struck Xia Wenhe like a thunderbolt, leaving him completely numb.
He knew that Xia Wanwan was in poor health and had difficulty getting pregnant, so he was very supportive of her seeking out specialists everywhere. He thought that after a month or two of recuperation, Xia Wanwan would recover and be able to have a child with Huo Nanxiao.
But what if I can't conceive, or I can only conceive in three to five years...
Xia Wanwan is already quite old, almost thirty. Will she still be able to have children in another three to five years?
They definitely can't give birth to her.
Xia Wenhe suddenly panicked. He looked sharply at Xia Ningxi and asked, "Are you sure? Even if an expert personally intervenes to treat her, it won't work?"
"I am the expert." These five simple words are extremely powerful.
Xia Wenhe nearly lost his balance. He gripped the corner of the table with difficulty and said shakily, "Huo Nanxiao has consulted many famous doctors, both domestically and internationally. He is sure he can cure Wanwan's illness."
"Her illness is indeed curable, but as I said, it will take time. Instead of focusing all your energy on guarding against me, you should think about how to protect her position," Xia Ningxi kindly reminded her.
She didn't want to waste any more time there. "Is there anything else? If not, I should leave."
"Stop right there!" Xia Wenhe shouted angrily at her.
Xia Ningxi raised her beautiful eyebrows: "President Xia, is there anything else?"
"Tang En is so skilled, can he cure your sister's illness?" Xia Wenhe pressed.
Xia Ningxi laughed out loud: "Are you trying to steal the doctor from Lin Jiangbei? Do you think you can beat the Ling family?"
Xia Wenhe clenched his fist: "As long as you ask, Tang En will definitely agree to treat Wanwan. Your expert team has so many doctors, each one more capable than the last. They must have plenty of ways to treat Wanwan. Am I right?"
"Are you asking me for a favor?" Xia Ningxi raised an eyebrow, her beautiful big eyes sparkling.
Xia Wenhe said, "Name your price. I'm willing to pay any amount as long as Wanwan can be cured."
"Sorry, I don't want to get involved in your family's affairs. Go find someone else." Xia Ningxi refused directly.
Xia Wenhe was very angry: "Since you don't intend to remarry Huo Nanxiao, you should help Wanwan. The Huo family already despises her. If she can't have children, Huo Nanxiao will give up on her."
"What does this have to do with me?" Xia Ningxi retorted.
Xia Wenhe warned her, "If Wanwan can't have children and her position is threatened, I don't mind fighting for custody. It's impossible for you to raise all three children; I'll take one or two back for Wanwan to raise!"
Anyway, they're all young. Keep them around for three to five years, and they'll naturally forget about you when they grow up.
Sacrificing Xia Ningxi for the sake of the Xia family and one's own wealth and status is nothing.
Xia Wenhe stared dangerously at Xia Ningxi's face, saying each word clearly: "I know you don't care about our family and won't listen to me, but Huo Nanxiao has no feelings for you right now. As long as Wanwan patiently persuades him, she can definitely win Huo Yuan back."
“That boy has been raised by the Xia family since he was a child, so it is only right to send him back. Huo Nanxiao has no reason to refuse. Between you and Wanwan, he will definitely choose the latter without hesitation. I am giving you a chance to choose now, so you had better take the opportunity.”
The atmosphere in the private room became extremely oppressive, as if a strong sense of hostility was emanating from the air.
Xia Ningxi was in a bad mood, and her mood worsened after being threatened by him. However, she was not afraid at all. She walked up to Xia Wenhe and said in a humble yet assertive manner, "I forgot to tell you that Huo Yuan's household registration has been transferred abroad. As long as I don't agree, even Huo Nanxiao can't take the child away."
"You underestimate him. If he wants to, it won't matter where you hide the child!" Xia Wenhe laughed out loud, thinking she was pathetically stupid.
Xia Ningxi: "Guess why Ling Xiao came with me today? Unless Huo Nanxiao is going to fall out with the Ling family, he won't be able to win custody of one of the children. But, Huo Nanxiao just signed such a big cooperation agreement with the Ling family, would he really pay such a huge compensation for Xia Wanwan?"
“Father, instead of plotting against me, you should think about how to help your precious daughter win back Huo Nanxiao’s heart. In her current state, she can’t possibly move Huo Nanxiao’s heart, and having a child will be as difficult as climbing to heaven.”
She was too lazy to waste words with Xia Wenhe, so she opened the door and went out.
Xia Wenhe was unwilling to let Xia Ningxi leave just like that, and subconsciously rushed forward to stop her. However, when he saw Ling Xiao standing outside the door, Xia Wenhe's steps clearly faltered, and some harsh words got stuck in his throat.
"Does President Xia have anything else to say?" Ling Xiao feigned curiosity.
Xia Wenhe said, "No."
"Then we'll be going now." Ling Xiao led Xia Ningxi away.
Xia Wenhe was unwilling to give up and stopped him: "Mr. Ling, do you know that Xia Ningxi has been married and has children?"
Ling Xiao scoffed inwardly and turned around: "I know."
“You’re from the eldest branch of the Ling family, and the Ling family is the most powerful family in Lingcheng. Do they know you’re so close to Xia Ningxi? Don’t they have any complaints about what you’ve done?” Xia Wenhe asked again.
Ling Xiao: "You look down on Xia Ningxi?"
Xia Wenhe said, "I am her father. How could I look down on my own daughter? I just think that the gap between you two is too big. Xia Ningxi is not good enough for you. You can find a more suitable partner. There is no need to waste your time on someone who is impossible for you."
Ling Xiao said, "Xia Ningxi is very outstanding. It is a blessing for the Ling family that she can marry into the family. To be honest, I am not good enough for her."
Xia Wenhe was dumbfounded. He suspected that Ling Xiao was possessed by a ghost. How outstanding could Xia Ningxi be? What good is it to be a good surgeon? She's just a wage earner. What good is it if she performs surgeries well? She still has to cater to the patients' families. Can she earn more in a whole year than they do with a single project?
The Ling family is a top-tier wealthy family with plenty of money, so their standards for choosing a spouse should be very high. Xia Ningxi is completely unqualified. How could he possibly be interested in Xia Ningxi?
“Mr. Ling, Xia Ningxi is probably not what you imagine. She has a bad personality and her abilities are not particularly strong. Your Ling family is not short of doctors. You can’t like her just because she is a doctor, can you?” Xia Wenhe asked curiously.
Ling Xiao: "Compared to your family, she is a million times better. If Xia Ningxi isn't good, then is your daughter, who's a liar, can't take care of herself, and got to her position through deception, any better?"
Xia Wenhe was speechless after being rebuked and could only watch helplessly as Ling Xiao and Xia Ningxi left side by side.
Recalling Xia Ningxi's words, he was filled with rage and immediately said to the guard outside the door, "Go and call Wanwan over."
Xia Wanwan had no idea what had happened. When she entered the private room, she saw Xia Wenhe with a livid face, looking terrifying.
"Father, I've arrived," Xia Wanwan said politely.
Xia Wenhe asked, "Xia Ningxi said you are infertile, is that true?"
"Why did she say those things?" Xia Wanwan was furious.
Xia Wenhe said, "Is it true?"
"No," Xia Wanwan denied.
Xia Wenhe: "She said that your body will not recover within three to five years and you will not be able to have children. Even with Huo Nanxiao protecting you, you will not be able to live a peaceful life. Tell me the truth. The Xia family cannot wait that long. If you really cannot have children, I can only arrange for someone to replace you as soon as possible."
"Father already has enough. What more could you want? Huo Nanxiao didn't marry me out of love. Don't push your luck. You'll only wear down Huo Nanxiao's pity for me sooner or later," Xia Wanwan said angrily.
Xia Wenhe wouldn't listen: "He married you because he loves you, how can you say it's out of pity? Wanwan, you are now the future of the Xia family, Huo Nanxiao's rightful wife, and he's going to spend his whole life with you."
"Only if you conceive Huo Nanxiao's child will our family's wealth and status be truly secured. But if you can't conceive, find a way to get your sister to help you. Xia Ningxi's humiliation of our family today clearly shows she doesn't intend to let it go. If she comes back and tries to remarry Huo Nanxiao, you're finished."
Thinking of Xia Ningxi's arrogant and presumptuous behavior today, Xia Wenhe felt extremely uneasy. He had already abandoned Xia Ningxi as a pawn and placed all his hopes on Xia Wanwan, supporting her to go to the doctor. But now someone was telling him that Xia Wanwan couldn't have children, and he would go crazy!
