Chapter 996 Suddenly I Don't Want to Leave
It was Huo Nanxiao's car.
A look of surprise flashed in Xia Ningxi's eyes, and her hand, which was closing the door, froze at that moment. She looked at the man who got out of the car with a mixture of surprise and disbelief, and went to greet him.
"Did you forget to take something?" That was Xia Ningxi's first thought.
Huo Nanxiao said, "It's not too late to go back tomorrow."
“Tomorrow? Isn’t that inappropriate? Xia Wanwan is still in the hospital, which is exactly when she needs someone to be with her the most. I suggest you take a plane back now. You can get to the capital city very quickly, and there’s plenty of time,” Xia Ningxi said.
Huo Nanxiao chuckled: "You really want me to leave that badly?"
"Are you alright? Didn't you want to leave?" Xia Ningxi asked back.
Huo Nanxiao said, "I suddenly don't want to go back. I'll stay here with you tonight, and we can talk about the rest tomorrow."
He walked past Xia Ningxi and went into the house without hesitation, which surprised Xia Ningxi.
When the phone call came in about Xia Wanwan's accident, she could clearly feel the worry and fear on Huo Nanxiao's face. Without a doubt, he was very worried about Xia Wanwan and afraid that something had happened to her.
It's a fact that he cares about Xia Wanwan a lot.
But why did he come back so soon after leaving? Did something happen to him?
"Did someone from the Xia family upset you?" Xia Ningxi boldly guessed.
"No," Huo Nanxiao denied.
Xia Ningxi asked with a hint of doubt, "Really not?"
“You’re right. Going back now won’t be of much help. The doctors in the capital will take good care of Xia Wanwan. It’s none of my business. I can go back tomorrow after I’ve dealt with the company matters.” Huo Nanxiao put down his car keys and changed his shoes.
The car outside had already been turned off.
Clearly, he had no intention of going out again.
His phone was still ringing incessantly; someone must be looking for him. But Huo Nanxiao didn't answer the call. Instead, he put his phone on silent, letting it ring without making a sound.
It was very quiet at midnight.
Huo Nanxiao was worried about Xia Wanwan, and his expression was not good. Anyone could tell that he had something on his mind. Xia Ningxi was too lazy to pay attention to him and went upstairs to sleep.
Xia Ningxi slept soundly until dawn the next day. She woke up the three children, helped them wash up, had breakfast, and then sent them to kindergarten.
Huo Nanxiao hadn't left yet; instead, he went to the laboratory with her.
Tang En also learned a little about Xia Wanwan's situation. He readily arranged for an expert to return to the capital with Huo Nanxiao, but this expert was not Xia Ningxi.
Huo Nanxiao was not satisfied with the result.
"Mr. Huo, you want an expert? I've arranged it for you. Why are you lingering? Do you want to stay for a meal?" Tang En asked knowingly.
Huo Nanxiao said, "I would prefer that Xia Ningxi return to the capital with me."
“I’m sorry, Xia Ningxi is Lin Jiangbei’s attending physician now. She has patients to take care of, and you can’t just take her away as you please. Besides, the money you gave me isn’t enough to allow me to choose any doctor I want. Even if you could afford it, you’d have to wait in line. Xia Ningxi can only take on other critically ill patients once Lin Jiangbei has fully recovered,” Tang En said politely.
There's nothing wrong with what he said, but if Huo Nanxiao insists on taking Xia Ningxi away, it means he's going to compete with Lin Jiangbei for the doctor. If he really does that, the Ling family will definitely not agree.
All responsibility has been perfectly evaded; the choice is now up to Huo Nanxiao.
Finally, Huo Nanxiao returned to the capital with the other experts.
Tang En received real-time updates and learned that Xia Wanwan was contemplating suicide, which Tang En found particularly amusing.
He had long seen that Xia Wanwan was no good, but unfortunately Huo Nanxiao was blind and couldn't see it. Now it was too late to regret and want a divorce, as Xia Wanwan had already clung to him.
Tang En closed his phone and smiled at Xia Ningxi, who was recording research data beside him, saying, "Xia Wanwan couldn't think straight and tried to commit suicide, ending up in the hospital, did you know that?"
"I guessed it last night, and I didn't expect it to be true." Xia Ningxi actually knew what was going on.
"I don't think she'll just agree to a divorce," Don said.
“Even if she wanted a divorce, the Xia family wouldn’t allow it, because they know very well that Xia Wanwan is the only one who can get involved with Huo Nanxiao. Even if Xia Luoluo is pregnant with Huo Nanxiao’s child, he would never marry her. Therefore, Xia Wenhe will do everything he can to maintain this marriage,” Xia Ningxi said.
Tang En raised an eyebrow: "I don't think Xia Luoluo is someone to be trifled with either. She's probably the one who most wants to climb the ladder."
“You’re right. But Xia Luoluo isn’t stupid. She won’t make things too ugly before things are settled. Even if she doesn’t like Xia Wanwan, she has to make sure Xia Wanwan is still alive. She must be very anxious right now, trying her best to get herself into the position.” Xia Ningxi boldly guessed.
Tang En couldn't help but laugh: "How can she get ahead? Huo Nanxiao doesn't even look at her. After this incident, Xia Wanwan probably hates this younger sister to the core, so it's unlikely she'll fight for her status. The two sisters might end up fighting each other at home."
Ellie chuckled. "It seems you know them very well."
Don said, "It's not that I understand them, it's that this family likes to make a big fuss about everything they do."
“That’s right. This time, Xia Wenhe will definitely cause trouble in front of the Huo family. Within a day, the news that Huo Nanxiao forced Xia Wanwan to commit suicide will be everywhere. They will definitely demand an explanation from Huo Nanxiao,” Ellie said.
Don: "Let's just watch the show."
As they had guessed, Xia Wenhe went completely mad after Xia Wanwan's accident, frantically searching for Huo Nanxiao's whereabouts. He even went to Yunting Group early in the morning to make a scene, demanding an explanation from Huo Nanxiao.
Huo Nanxiao hadn't even boarded the plane yet. When he received Ye Su's call, he was angry and ordered someone to take Xia Wenhe away.
This action only further enraged Xia Wenhe, who stopped saying a word and stopped looking for Huo Nanxiao. Instead, he brought in reporters to smear Huo Nanxiao and shifted all the blame for Xia Wanwan's accident onto Huo Nanxiao, saying that "Huo Nanxiao forced Xia Wanwan to die."
The news caused a huge sensation as soon as it was released. Even Huo Xiuyuan, who usually maintained an indifferent attitude, was affected by the news. Countless friends called, all discussing the matter.
"Old Huo, your new daughter-in-law is quite a handful."
"The news has spread overseas. I can see the Huo family's scandals even when I'm on vacation abroad."
"It's already affecting the Huo family's stock market; this can't go on."
Huo Xiuyuan felt extremely embarrassed by his old friend's reminder.
They were all prominent figures in the capital, but their family was stuck with this troublesome Xia family. He could only put pressure on Huo Nanxiao.
