Chapter 96 Threat
Everyone in the company knows that Huo Nanxiao brought a woman to the company today; judging by her figure, she must be a beauty.
While Huo Nanxiao was in a meeting, they couldn't help but gossip about it.
"Who do you think that woman the president brought today is? She seems to know him quite well," Zhang Qian asked.
Liu Yu said, "It must be the young master's private doctor. Didn't you hear about the young master falling from a building and getting injured a while ago?"
"But the young master seems to have recovered, he can walk on his own now," someone else asked.
Liu Yu replied, "What kind of status does the young master have? He is the only heir of the Huo family, the apple of their eye. It's not unreasonable for him to have a private doctor who works with him, is it? Do you really think there's anyone in the capital city who can compare to Xia Wanwan?"
"Xia Wanwan is the number one socialite in the capital. Even after all these years and getting married, she hasn't lost her popularity. It's said that she's extremely beautiful, like a fairy. How could any ordinary cat or dog compare to her?"
"Young Master Huo isn't blind; he wouldn't be so desperate as to be indiscriminate in his choice of partners."
Liu Yu made a few sarcastic remarks about the group, implying that they were unsophisticated.
Zhang Qian retorted, "But the president has never brought a girl to the company in all these years. Don't you find that strange?"
After a pause, Zhang Qian continued, "I recently heard a rumor that the president is having an affair with the young master's private doctor at the hospital."
"Really?" Everyone was excited.
They all crowded around, asking if it was true or not.
No one noticed Xia Luoluo walking out of the elevator behind them.
She walked behind the group and overheard their conversation.
Xia Luoluo coughed lightly, her face dark.
When everyone saw her, their expressions changed instantly. They all sat up straight, their faces turning deathly pale with fright.
Xia Luoluo asked with a stern face, "Where is your CEO?"
"The president is in a meeting," Liu Yu replied obsequiously.
Charlotte said, "Take me to his office."
"There are guests in the president's office," Zhang Qian quickly reminded him.
Charlotte asked, "What kind of guest can't I see?"
Everyone's expression changed.
Zhang Qian greeted her with a smile: "Miss Xia, I'll take you there."
"Hmph, that's more like it." Xia Luoluo snorted and entered Huo Nanxiao's office.
Xia Luoluo spotted Huo Yuan and Xia Ningxi sitting on the sofa at a glance. She clenched her fists, ignored Xia Ningxi, and walked towards Huo Yuan: "Ah Yuan, Auntie is here."
The little guy, who had been happy, immediately became nervous. He sat up straight, his eyes filled with fear.
"Auntie, what brings you here?" Huo Yuan's voice trembled slightly.
Xia Luoluo walked up to him, bent down, and said gently, "I heard you came to the company, so I came here specifically to see you."
"I'll be ready soon," Huo Yuan replied.
Xia Luoluo smiled and reached out to ruffle Huo Yuan's hair: "Hmm, Yuan does look much better. When are you planning to go home with your aunt?"
"I...I...I don't know." Huo Yuan was naturally afraid of Xia Luoluo, and when he said this, he subconsciously hid next to Xia Ningxi.
Xia Ningxi stared coldly at the hypocritical and kind Xia Luoluo and said, "Huo Yuan will not go back to the Xia family with you."
The smile in Xia Luoluo's eyes vanished in an instant. She said to Xia Ningxi, "Huo Yuan is the son of our Xia family. He will come back to my side sooner or later."
Xia Luoluo stared intently at Huo Yuan and said in a deep voice, "A Yuan, am I right? You promised me you would live in the Xia family forever, have you forgotten? Don't you want your mommy anymore?"
When Xia Wanwan was mentioned, a hint of complexity appeared in Huo Yuan's eyes, which were filled with fear.
“I didn’t,” Huo Yuan replied.
Charlotte said, "Then why don't you come to my side?"
Huo Yuan gripped Xia Ningxi's clothes tightly with both hands, not daring to go over.
The small gesture landed her in Xia Luoluo's arms, making her extremely jealous.
"Ah Yuan, do you no longer want me as your aunt?" Xia Luoluo asked very seriously.
Xia Ningxi said, "If I remember correctly, Huo Nanxiao told you to never appear in front of Huo Yuan again. Are you deaf?"
Xia Luoluo wouldn't listen.
Xia Ningxi addressed the door directly, saying, "Someone come here."
Ye Su strode in: "Dr. Xia, what can I do for you?"
Xia Ningxi said, "Please ask Miss Xia to leave. She is not welcome here."
Ye Su was stunned, her gaze shifting back and forth between Xia Luoluo and Xia Ningxi.
Xia Luoluo said to Ye Su with great arrogance, "My sister is the eldest daughter-in-law of the Huo family. You'd better think this through."
This is clearly a threat.
Ye Su was a sensible person and naturally knew Xia Luoluo's identity, which put her in a very difficult position.
After careful consideration, Ye Su decided not to offend Xia Luoluo.
“Dr. Xia, Miss Xia is here to see the president. If you don’t like her, how about I arrange a VIP room for you? Would you like to sit in the VIP room for a while?” Ye Su said.
Xia Luoluo laughed smugly: "Did you hear that? Get lost."
“No, Dr. Xia isn’t going.” Just then, Huo Yuan mustered up his courage to object.
Xia Luoluo angrily questioned, "Huo Yuan, what nonsense are you talking about? Don't meddle in adults' affairs. She's not a good person. Aren't you afraid she'll destroy your family and steal your daddy?"
“Dr. Xia wouldn’t do that.” Huo Yuan shook his head, firmly believing that Xia Ningxi was not that kind of person.
Xia Luoluo said, "You've been in the hospital for so long, you must have heard about her messy affair with your daddy, right? Now everyone's saying she's going to become the eldest daughter-in-law of the Huo family. Ayuan, how could you be so stupid? If she becomes the eldest daughter-in-law, what will happen to you and your mommy?"
Huo Yuan bit his lip tightly and remained silent.
He was genuinely afraid that Huo Nanxiao would find someone else and then abandon him.
He looked at Xia Ningxi pitifully, on the verge of tears: "Will Dr. Xia abandon me?"
"No." Xia Ningxi's voice was firm.
She gently held Huo Yuan's trembling little hand, giving him strength.
After Huo Yuan calmed down, Xia Ningxi stood up and walked towards Xia Luoluo step by step.
Her sharp eyes were fixed on Xia Luoluo's smug mouth as she whispered, "If you utter another word, believe me, I'll tear your mouth apart."
Xia Luoluo laughed angrily: "You have quite the nerve."
Xia Ningxi slapped her across the face.
Xia Luoluo was stunned.
Ye Su, who was standing to the side, stared wide-eyed in disbelief. She rushed forward and stood in front of Xia Luoluo.
"Dr. Xia, how could you lay a hand on her? She's the second young lady of the Xia family!"
Xia Ningxi said, "So what if she's the second young lady? Is she that great?"
Ye Su was stunned by Xia Ningxi's demeanor; she never expected that a mere doctor would have such great courage.
Xia Luoluo is the second young lady of the Xia family, and her older sister is the eldest young mistress of the Huo family. What a noble status they have!
Isn't she afraid of being retaliated against by Xia Luoluo?
