Chapter 902 Not going back to see her
Huo Nanxiao probably didn't expect to run into Xia Ningxi at the hospital. Seeing the fleeting panic in her eyes, Huo Nanxiao vaguely sensed something.
Without looking at the people in the ward, Huo Nanxiao asked, "Are you going back?"
"Hmm. I'm off work, so I thought I'd drop by to see Xia Wanwan. She's not doing very well right now. If President Huo goes in and comforts her, she'll probably recover faster," Xia Ningxi said casually, her words full of sarcasm.
Huo Nanxiao frowned: "Did she make you angry?"
"Shouldn't President Huo be more concerned about his wife?" Xia Ningxi retorted.
Huo Nanxiao: "I know what's going on. She must be looking for you because of what happened last night."
"You know everything, yet you still talk to me? Xia Wanwan can't stand this kind of stimulation, and she can't stand any woman getting too close to you." Xia Ningxi's voice was neither cold nor warm.
Huo Nanxiao could tell she was being sarcastic, and he said, "You're overthinking it."
"Am I overthinking it? Or are you just too oblivious to notice? If Xia Wanwan truly loves you, she can't stand you getting too close to any other woman," Xia Ningxi said.
Huo Nanxiao fell into a brief silence.
Xia Ningxi didn't know if he had taken her words to heart, so she decided not to meddle. Anyway, things had already come to this, and Xia Ningxi couldn't care less about Xia Wanwan's life or death.
Ultimately, this matter is not just Xia Ningxi's concern. No matter what she said to Xia Wanwan today, it won't change the outcome. Xia Wanwan won't really let go of their prejudices because of Xia Ningxi's few words.
For her, only when Xia Ningxi completely disappears from the world can she steadily remain the eldest daughter-in-law of the Huo family.
Unfortunately, Xia Ningxi was unwilling.
She was unwilling to please Xia Wanwan, much less give way to her.
The marriage that Xia Wanwan went through so much trouble to obtain had nothing to do with Xia Ningxi, and whether Xia Wanwan lived well or not in the days to come was also none of Xia Ningxi's business.
After leaving the ward, Xia Ningxi went downstairs.
Tang En had been waiting for a while. Seeing that she looked alright, he asked, "Is the matter resolved?"
"Probably not." Xia Ningxi shook her head.
Don was surprised: "You don't seem like the type to drag things out."
"I've already made some things very clear to me, but Xia Wanwan just didn't listen. She still thinks Huo Nanxiao's coldness towards her is because of me." Xia Ningxi sighed helplessly.
Tang En scoffed: "She forced Huo Nanxiao to marry her by deceiving him and pretending to be weak. It was destined that their marriage would be unhappy. Did she really expect Huo Nanxiao to fall deeply in love with a liar?"
"Perhaps." Xia Ningxi smiled helplessly.
Don: "A fool's dream."
Xia Ningxi didn't think too much about it, and she wasn't in the mood to care about Huo Nanxiao and Xia Wanwan's affairs.
But she knew that as long as Huo Nanxiao was in Lingcheng, Xia Wanwan's life would never be comfortable.
No matter how pure, innocent, and unassuming Xia Wanwan may be, she may eventually feel resentful.
If you feel unbalanced for too long, it can easily lead to psychological distortion. Xia Ningxi doesn't know what will happen in the end.
However, this incident also solidified Xia Ningxi's resolve; she could no longer afford to waste time with Huo Nanxiao.
When I got home, the three children had already finished school and were sitting together doing their homework.
Xia Jingcheng had prepared dinner early, just waiting for Xia Ningxi to come home.
Seeing that she seemed preoccupied, Xia Jingcheng asked worriedly, "Did something happen at the hospital?"
"Xia Wanwan was so angry last night that she was hospitalized. She contacted me today, hoping that I would cut off contact with Huo Nanxiao." Xia Ningxi explained the general situation.
Xia Jingcheng laughed in exasperation: "Does she think you were the one who approached Huo Nanxiao? Wasn't it Huo Nanxiao who was harassing you?"
"She doesn't believe me." Xia Ningxi smiled bitterly.
Xia Jingcheng cursed angrily: "She's just like her mother. Does she really think we'd want a second-hand man? Only her family likes second-hand goods."
Xia Ningxi couldn't help but laugh out loud, "Brother, you mustn't let Huo Nanxiao hear you say that, he's very petty."
"So what if I heard it? Did I say something wrong? I don't even want to see someone as filthy as him. I'm afraid that spending too much time with him will affect the child's mental health." Xia Jingcheng had a very strong opinion of Huo Nanxiao.
Xia Ningxi felt that what he said made sense, so she didn't think too much about it.
As for how Huo Nanxiao should deal with Xia Wanwan, she was too lazy to think too much about it. In the end, it had nothing to do with her. If Huo Nanxiao insisted on dragging her into it, there was nothing she could do.
Xia Ningxi was comfortably cooking at home, while rumors about her were spreading among the hospital staff.
No one knows who spread rumors about Xia Ningxi, which made Xia Wanwan faint from anger. The news even reached Ling Xiao, who rushed to see her late at night, abandoning his work.
Seeing that Xia Ningxi was alright, Ling Xiao finally breathed a sigh of relief.
"Has Huo Nanxiao caused you any trouble?" Ling Xiao asked worriedly.
Xia Ningxi shook her head: "No."
"That's good. Try to go to the hospital less often these days. With Tang En watching over Jiang Bei, he'll be fine," Ling Xiao suggested.
Xia Ningxi refused: "You don't need to protect me like this. It's okay. Xia Wanwan isn't my patient and won't cause me any trouble."
"She's completely insane right now." Ling Xiao didn't quite believe in Xia Wanwan's character.
Xia Ningxi didn't know how to maintain Xia Wanwan's rare dignity. After seeing Ling Xiao off, she returned to her study, organized her work materials, and then went to bed with her child.
The three little ones were very perceptive and noticed that Xia Ningxi's mood was not right. They didn't make a fuss and instead obediently lay down next to Xia Ningxi to read storybooks.
Xingxing asked curiously, "Why didn't Daddy come today? He said yesterday that he was coming to our house tonight."
“He has something to do and can’t come,” Xia Ningxi replied.
Xingxing asked, puzzled, "What could be wrong with him? Could he be with that mistress? Was she traumatized yesterday and unable to take care of herself again?"
Xia Ningxi chuckled and tapped the little guy on the head.
"Don't talk nonsense."
Star: "Did I guess right?"
"Mm." Xia Ningxi nodded.
Xingxing: "Poor Daddy, but he deserves it. I bet Xia Wanwan can't hold back anymore. Daddy comes to see us every few days, won't she go crazy? Won't she go on a rampage and make a scene with Daddy?"
"More or less," Xia Ningxi nodded.
Xingxing said with disdain, "I don't like this kind of woman. When I grow up, I will never play with girls like her."
Xia Ningxi said, "As long as your daddy likes it."
“Daddy should go see an ophthalmologist, and he can also get his brain checked while he’s at it. We can reimburse him for it; we can’t let him stay stupid forever,” Xingxing said seriously.
Xia Ningxi couldn't stop smiling. "You little rascal, you have such a sweet voice."
"That's right, I'm Mommy's child." Xingxing was very arrogant.
Xia Ningxi hugged him and kissed him.
Huo Yuan was jealous and leaned closer: "Mommy is biased. She only kisses my brother and not me."
"Okay, okay, I'll kiss you." Xia Ningxi hugged the adorable Huo Yuan and kissed his chubby face.
Chu Chu protested, "I want some too! I want some too!"
The three little ones pounced on Xia Ningxi, their soft, chubby faces incredibly cute.
Holding her three little babies, Xia Ningxi felt her heart soften even more; for her, this kind of life was already very happy.
Money and power weren't that important to her.
All she ever wanted was for her family to live happily together.
Perhaps, back then, Huo Nanxiao looked down on her, believing that she had schemed against them to get married, and that it was only natural for him to despise Xia Ningxi.
She was truly humble in front of him back then.
But now, it's not necessary.
Love and beauty become insignificant under the test of time.
Xia Ningxi survived the years when she loved Huo Nanxiao the most, and was reborn from the ashes.
The pathetic Xia Wanwan is still clinging to the affections of her youth, forcing Huo Nanxiao to accept her and reconcile with her, which is destined to end badly.
Xia Ningxi slept exceptionally soundly that night.
She was not affected by Xia Wanwan's antics in any way, and continued to go to work as usual, going back and forth between home and work, busy with her own affairs.
However, because Xia Wanwan was frequently hospitalized due to stress, the Xia family had no choice but to come to Lingcheng to take care of her 24 hours a day until she was discharged.
Perhaps Huo Nanxiao had neglected their family for too long, and they couldn't sit still any longer. They went to Huo Nanxiao's new company to make trouble several times, but Ye Su stopped them each time.
Xia Wanwan lived alone in Huo Nanxiao's villa, which drew various reproaches from Zhou Fenglin.
Perhaps it was because Xia Wanwan and Huo Nanxiao had been in Lingcheng for some time, and Xia Wanwan's belly had not shown any signs of pregnancy, that they became anxious.
Unable to gain any advantage from Huo Nanxiao and unable to do anything about Xia Wanwan, Zhou Fenglin had no choice but to set his sights on Xia Ningxi.
Xia Ningxi completely ignored them. Even when Zhou Fenglin came to find her in person, Xia Ningxi ignored him and had the security guards kick them out.
Zhou Fenglin was so angry that he couldn't eat or sleep, and he went completely mad.
Upon learning that Huo Nanxiao would pick up Huo Yuan and the others from school on Friday, Zhou Fenglin, like a raging pheasant, berated Xia Wanwan relentlessly, making her feel utterly worthless. The servants at home couldn't bear it any longer and hurriedly called Huo Nanxiao for help.
Huo Nanxiao could hear Zhou Fenglin cursing even through the phone. If it were before, he would never have allowed Zhou Fenglin to ride roughshod over Xia Wanwan.
After several such experiences, Huo Nanxiao knew clearly that no matter how outrageous Zhou Fenglin's actions were, Xia Wanwan would eventually choose to forgive her.
They are an inseparable family. Xia Wanwan cannot sever this blood relationship, and Huo Nanxiao, as an outsider, cannot interfere.
"Let them argue," Huo Nanxiao said to the maid.
Maid: "But, Madam's condition is not good. What if something happens to her?"
Huo Nanxiao: "They are a family, nothing will happen to them."
After hanging up the phone, Huo Nanxiao continued driving.
Xia Ningxi, sitting in the passenger seat, could hear the voice coming from the phone. She asked, "Are you sure you don't want to go back and see her?"
"What's so interesting about it?" Huo Nanxiao said dismissively.
Xia Ningxi said, "Zhou Fenglin is reckless when he goes crazy, and Xia Wanwan is very likely to get into trouble."
“Xia Wanwan is her daughter. If she still wants wealth and status, she won’t let anything happen to Wanwan.” Huo Nanxiao knew this perfectly well.
Xia Ningxi muttered to herself, "You seem to know Zhou Fenglin quite well."
"I don't know," Huo Nanxiao denied.
Xia Ningxi said, "If you can guess what the other person is thinking, how can you say you don't understand them?"
Huo Nanxiao glanced at her: "No one with ulterior motives can destroy the pieces they hold."
Without a doubt, Xia Wanwan was that pawn.
