Chapter 877 It was Daddy's doing.
He said he would take care of Xia Wanwan and give her a status so that her future life wouldn't be so difficult, but that doesn't mean Huo Nanxiao would disregard everything for Xia Wanwan.
Xia Wenhe, relying on his relationship with the Huo family, has often bullied others, and Zhou Fenglin's past actions are also unforgivable.
Huo Nanxiao is not a magnanimous person; he will not let this go so easily.
He didn't care about what the Xia family did; he was just giving Xia Wanwan face. But that face would eventually run out.
The housekeeper restored everything in the house to its original state, and none of Xia Ningxi's belongings were thrown away.
Huo Nanxiao didn't know what to say to her, so he remained silent.
Xia Ningxi looked slightly embarrassed. She coughed lightly and explained, "Your affairs have nothing to do with me. What you want to do is your own business. You don't need to involve me."
"Okay," Huo Nanxiao replied casually.
Xia Ningxi said, "I only took two days off, and I should go back to Lingcheng today."
"I'll take you to the airport," Huo Nanxiao offered.
Xia Ningxi did not refuse and went to security check immediately after arriving at the airport.
Huo Nanxiao didn't leave; he watched her from a distance.
"Why isn't this guy leaving yet? Is he free?" Xia Ningxi wondered, quickening her pace to the front desk to check in.
"I'm sorry, ma'am, our flight today has been cancelled," the staff member said apologetically.
Xia Ningxi asked in surprise, "Are you sure? I didn't receive any message."
"It is indeed your flight. Due to weather conditions, it has been cancelled today. You can process your refund at the back office," the staff member continued to explain.
Xia Ningxi's face turned cold: "Then arrange another flight for me. I need to go back to Lingcheng, even if it's a connecting flight."
"I'm sorry, due to the sudden thunderstorms in Lingcheng, there are no flights to Lingcheng at the moment. You can choose other means of transportation." The staff member continued to apologize.
No matter what Xia Ningxi said, she would apologize.
Xia Ningxi was furious, but there was nothing she could do. In the end, she could only leave the airport with a belly full of anger.
Huo Nanxiao was still outside the door, he hadn't left.
"Why are you still here?" Xia Ningxi asked.
"I was just about to leave, but I lingered a little longer when I saw you come out. Why did you come out?" Huo Nanxiao asked, feigning confusion.
Xia Ningxi gritted her teeth: "The flight has been canceled."
"Really? That's a pity." Huo Nanxiao said indifferently.
Xia Ningxi stared at Huo Nanxiao with her beautiful big eyes blinking: "I have a feeling that you already knew about this."
"No," Huo Nanxiao denied.
Xia Ningxi: "It really has nothing to do with you?"
"If I had known the flight was canceled, I wouldn't have brought you to the airport. Do you think I have nothing better to do?" Huo Nanxiao retorted.
After thinking about it carefully, Xia Ningxi felt that what he said made some sense, so she could only look for another way.
Xia Ningxi searched for high-speed rail tickets to Lingcheng, but there were no tickets left except for standing tickets, which annoyed her greatly.
"Buy plane tickets for a few days from now. With Tang En watching over Lin Jiangbei, he won't get into trouble," Huo Nanxiao said lazily.
Xia Ningxi muttered under her breath, "Why do I get the feeling that you're gloating a little?"
"You're overthinking it," Huo Nanxiao denied.
Unable to buy plane tickets for the next two days, Xia Ningxi could only get into Huo Nanxiao's car in a sullen mood.
"I'm free at noon. Where would you like to go? I can give you a ride," Huo Nanxiao asked.
Xia Ningxi said, "May I visit your best laboratory?"
"Sure." Huo Nanxiao readily agreed, using his financial power to satisfy Xia Ningxi's request.
After leaving the lab, Huo Nanxiao took her to see a movie, and Xia Ningxi kept her phone on silent the whole time.
When Xia Ningxi came out of the movie theater, her phone had more than a dozen missed calls and unread text messages.
The call was from the airline, but she didn't answer. She only found out from the text message that her flight today had been canceled and she missed the deadline to board.
"What?! Is this even possible?" Xia Ningxi was completely dumbfounded; this was the first time she had ever encountered something like this.
Huo Nanxiao, unfazed, asked, "What happened?"
"The plane has taken off again." Xia Ningxi was so angry that she was trembling all over.
Huo Nanxiao: "What kind of airline is so terrible?"
"No way, I'm so angry! I was already at the airport today, and she told me to go back. I've only been gone a few hours and they've already taken off. This is outrageous! How could they do this?" Xia Ningxi was trembling with anger.
She called the airline and demanded an explanation, but all they did was apologize and then blame Xia Ningxi for not answering the phone on time.
Xia Ningxi glanced at the time they called her; she had missed the call because she was watching a movie, and she was extremely upset.
What frustrated Xia Ningxi even more was that, in addition to the airline's text message, Ling Xiao also sent her a lot of messages, saying that there had been a sudden change in the Ling family and he needed to go back immediately.
When Ling Xiao arrived, he took a private jet. He originally wanted to take Xia Ningxi back with him, but he left early because he couldn't contact Xia Ningxi.
"I shouldn't have come to see the movie." Xia Ningxi became angrier the more she thought about it.
Huo Nanxiao remained silent throughout, letting Xia Ningxi vent her anger on the side.
By the time Xia Ningxi had vented all her anger, it was already dark.
Huo Nanxiao leisurely invited her to stay at Lanyuan for another night, and Xia Ningxi had nowhere else to go, so she had no choice but to agree.
She was sulking the whole way, but Huo Nanxiao was in a very good mood, and the car slowed down involuntarily.
"Wait, why are you so free today?" Xia Ningxi's gaze suddenly focused on Huo Nanxiao.
Huo Nanxiao said, "I'm off today, have you forgotten?"
"You rarely rested before," Xia Ningxi asked, puzzled.
Huo Nanxiao: "There's nothing going on at the company lately, so it doesn't matter whether I go to work or not."
"I feel like you're acting strange today?" Xia Ningxi said.
Huo Nanxiao: "Don't blame me for all the bad luck you've had."
"How do you know I suspect you?" Xia Ningxi's doubts grew even stronger.
She had never encountered such bad luck before. Even if the airline was unreliable, it shouldn't have happened by sheer chance that the plane would secretly take off just when she couldn't be contacted.
Furthermore, she hardly ever went to the movies with Huo Nanxiao.
When this guy suddenly had a brain fart and suggested taking Xia Ningxi to the movies today, she already sensed something was wrong.
Only after careful review did I realize that something was wrong.
"Did you do it?" Xia Ningxi asked, her gaze intense.
Huo Nanxiao denied it: "It has nothing to do with me."
"No one but you would do something so pointless!" Xia Ningxi was very angry.
Huo Nanxiao was amused by her words: "I'm not as free as you. Besides, I can't possibly bribe the airline while wasting a lot of time taking you to the airport. I'm not that bored."
"Not you? Am I really just unlucky?" Xia Ningxi muttered to herself.
But the more I think about it, the stranger it seems.
She genuinely suspected that Huo Nanxiao was involved.
Since the guy wouldn't admit it, and Xia Ningxi had nowhere to investigate, she could only grit her teeth and stay at Lanyuan for another day.
Strangely, there were no servants in the house today; it was empty except for her and Huo Nanxiao.
The large house was very quiet.
Huo Nanxiao squeezed her a glass of fresh juice. "Try it."
"I won't drink it," Xia Ningxi refused.
Huo Nanxiao asked, displeased, "Why?"
"I don't want to drink what you made," Xia Ningxi said without hiding it.
Huo Nanxiao's face turned cold. "Then you can go hungry."
Xia Ningxi ignored him and went straight upstairs.
What happened today was too strange. No matter how she thought about it, something felt wrong. She opened Xingxing's chat page and sent a video invitation.
A short while later, the three little guys appeared on the phone.
"Mommy, Mommy."
Is Mommy coming home today?
"It's already dark, why hasn't Mommy come back yet?"
"We've been waiting for you at home."
The little ones were eagerly waiting.
Xia Ningxi felt guilty: "I'm sorry, my flight was canceled today and I can't get back in time. You all need to listen to your uncle tonight. Mommy will go back as soon as she gets the tickets."
"The flight wasn't canceled," Xingxing said, puzzled.
Xia Ningxi said, "I missed my boarding time and didn't make it."
"Oh, I see. There are plane tickets for tomorrow too. Is Mommy coming back tomorrow?" Xingxing's eyes were bright, her face full of anticipation.
Xia Ningxi was puzzled: "There are no plane tickets for tomorrow."
“Yes, Mommy can’t see it?” Xingxing sent her a screenshot.
Judging from the screenshot of the stars, there are still more than twenty tickets available to Lingcheng, but Xia Ningxi herself couldn't find any when she searched for them.
"What's going on? It shows that the tickets are sold out here." Xia Ningxi was even more puzzled.
Xingxing: "Let me see. Mommy, you've been restricted from buying tickets and blacklisted, that's why you can't see the plane tickets. Have you been owing money to anyone lately?"
"No!" Xia Ningxi shook her head.
Xingxing: "That's strange, how could this happen? Did Mommy offend someone? Could someone be deliberately messing with you behind your back?"
Xia Ningxi pictured Huo Nanxiao's handsome face. He had spent almost the entire day with her, and after dropping her off at the airport, he stayed behind to wait for her to come out.
Knowing she couldn't leave made me feel great.
Could this be Huo Nanxiao's doing?
Xia Ningxi said, "It's possible that your daddy did it, Xingxing. Can you help Mommy find out about your daddy?"
“Okay,” Xingxing readily agreed.
Xingxing solved the case in less than ten minutes, and said angrily, "It was Daddy who did it. Daddy gave the airline the message and made them ground you."
"I understand. Mommy has to take care of something. You all need to be good tonight, okay?" Xia Ningxi instructed the children, suppressing her anger as she walked towards Huo Nanxiao's study.
Huo Nanxiao was still awake, and it was unclear what he was busy with in his study.
He was even a little surprised when Xia Ningxi pushed the door open and entered.
"Is something the matter?" Huo Nanxiao asked.
Suppressing her anger, Xia Ningxi looked at Huo Nanxiao with cold eyes and asked, word by word, "You did all of this, didn't you?"
Huo Nanxiao raised an eyebrow, seemingly not quite understanding Xia Ningxi's meaning.
Xia Ningxi said, "You were the one who handled the plane tickets, weren't you?"
"I don't know what you're talking about," Huo Nanxiao said coldly.
Xia Ningxi was furious when she saw him denying it: "You're still pretending? I've already found out that you're the one who got the airline to blacklist me, which is why I can't buy a ticket back and have to stay in the capital."
"What good does this do you? Why are you doing something so pointless?"
If Xingxing hadn't been clever enough to notice all of this, Xia Ningxi would still have been kept in the dark by Huo Nanxiao.
She couldn't understand why Huo Nanxiao was so bored that he would do something so despicable.
The more she thought about it, the angrier she became.
But Huo Nanxiao was calmer than ever: "I will send someone to investigate the matter you raised and give you an answer as soon as possible."
"Are you still pretending?" Xia Ningxi was really angry with him.
