Chapter 704 You didn't like her that much either.
Huo Nanxiao remained silent for a long time before finishing his dinner without saying a word.
The three little ones probably knew that Xia Ningxi was throwing a tantrum, so they consciously kept quiet, finished their food, and went upstairs to do their homework.
Xia Ningxi was very hungry and ate a lot by herself.
Huo Nanxiao didn't go anywhere. He just sat opposite Xia Ningxi, looking at her without saying a word, and it was unclear what he wanted to do.
Xia Ningxi didn't want to pay attention to it. After eating and drinking her fill, she heated up a glass of milk for herself and drank it happily.
"Are you in a good mood?" Huo Nanxiao asked.
Xia Ningxi replied, "I have a big meal to eat and milk to drink, so it's normal for me to be in a good mood. What's wrong? Are you in a bad mood?"
"You've heard about what happened to the Xia family, haven't you?" Huo Nanxiao asked again.
Xia Ningxi didn't care: "I don't care, and I'm not interested."
“Now a group of people have come to the Xia family to demand debts. Xia Wenhe is facing bankruptcy, and his company is completely ruined. If Dad continues to target them, the Xia family will have no place in the capital city.”
His calm voice carried a hint of unspoken seriousness and displeasure, suggesting that this was not the outcome Huo Nanxiao desired.
What he wants is for everyone to live peacefully and comfortably together, so that he can be well and Xia Wanwan's family can be well too.
But what's the point of telling Xia Ningxi all this?
Is Xia Ningxi going to step in and plead for them?
Is that possible?
Xia Ningxi, having put down her cup, opened her beautiful eyes and looked at Huo Nanxiao seriously: "What are you trying to say by telling me all this? You know my past better than anyone else. Xia Jingcheng and I didn't get a single penny of what the Xia family owns. What does it matter to me whether Xia Wenhe goes bankrupt or not? Why are you so worried about him? Why don't you try to find a solution yourself? You're so capable, you could save one Xia Group, or even open ten Xia Groups again without any pressure, right?"
"You know that's not what I'm talking about," Huo Nanxiao said coldly.
Xia Ningxi shrugged indifferently: "Your affairs have nothing to do with me. You can do whatever you want, I won't stop you."
She didn't care what happened to Xia Wanwan's family. She was living a comfortable life and didn't want to care about anyone else. What did it matter to her whether other people lived or died?
She didn't lay a hand on Xia Wanwan from beginning to end, did she?
As for what Huo Xiuyuan did, does it have anything to do with Xia Ningxi? If Xia Wanwan could win Huo Xiuyuan's favor, he wouldn't have gone to such lengths.
Thinking of this, Xia Ningxi said to Huo Nanxiao, "It was Dad's idea to transfer Qinyuan to my name. If you are not satisfied, you can talk to him. However, we have been married for so many years. Even if we are to divide marital property, Qinyuan alone is not enough, is it?"
“I can find her a suitable new place to live. Qinyuan is now at your disposal,” Huo Nanxiao said in a low voice.
Xia Ningxi sneered inwardly and coldly replied with a "Okay".
She went upstairs, took a hot shower, and went straight to sleep. She didn't have the energy to argue with Huo Nanxiao; she had to go to the hospital to change shifts in the afternoon, and she had a lot to do.
Huo Nanxiao also attracted a lot of attention because of what happened today. A group of reporters gathered outside the company, which greatly affected his work. So Huo Nanxiao simply took a day off and did not go to the company.
I went upstairs to play with the three children.
The three little ones walked away silently, none of them paying any attention to Huo Nanxiao.
Huo Nanxiao had no choice but to return to his study and finish dealing with everything in his email.
The phone was on silent. After Huo Nanxiao finished dealing with everything, he found that there were dozens of missed calls on his phone, most of which were from the Xia family. Xia Wanwan also called Huo Nanxiao a few times.
He knew it must be Huo Xiuyuan's men who came to cause trouble for the Xia family, and their call must have been for help. However, if they stood up against Huo Xiuyuan at this time, their lives would only get worse.
Therefore, Huo Nanxiao did not reply to them, but instead sent Ye Su to the Xia family to check on the situation.
When Ye Su arrived at the Xia family, a group of them begged her for help, so she had no choice but to run away. Only after running back to the company did she dare to reply to Huo Nanxiao.
"President, the Xia family's house was vandalized. Xia Wenhe and Zhou Fenglin both sustained injuries of varying degrees, though they don't seem serious. Fortunately, Miss Wanwan is alright. I heard that a group of people came to collect debts early this morning. They refused to pay and even hurled insults at the debt collectors, which angered them, forcing the debt collectors to resort to violence." Ye Su reported the situation.
Huo Nanxiao frowned deeply: "Who were the perpetrators? Write them all down."
Ye Su said, "The people were brought by Zhang Linhai. Is the president sure he wants to remember them? This is probably all the old man's doing. If he finds out that you are speaking up for Xia Wanwan behind her back, he might escalate his actions even further."
Huo Nanxiao had a headache.
After hanging up the phone, he rubbed his temples, his head throbbing painfully.
But these unpleasant things didn't end there.
After seeing today's news, several of Huo Nanxiao's childhood friends were unusually enthusiastic and sent him many messages inviting him to a get-together. Huo Nanxiao initially didn't want to respond, but Ji Feibai drove directly to the Huo family's old house to wait for him, so he had no choice but to accept the invitation.
Seeing him emerge from the manor alone, Ji Feibai asked, "Are you alone?"
"Who else would you like to include?" Huo Nanxiao asked.
Ji Feibai said, "Isn't Dr. Xia at home too? Bring her along, it's been a long time since we went out for a get-together."
“She’s resting,” Huo Nanxiao said decisively.
Ji Feibai said, "Rest? What time is it? Let's go out and get together, everyone's waiting."
"Who exactly are you looking for?" Huo Nanxiao questioned.
Ji Feibai immediately shut his mouth and stopped asking.
Several young men rented out a winery and leisurely drank tea inside.
When Jin Mingxi saw Huo Nanxiao arrive, she immediately made room for him.
Before Huo Nanxiao could even warm his seat, Helian Jue asked, "Aren't you bringing your fiancée with you?"
"It's inconvenient," Huo Nanxiao replied.
Ji Feibai said, "It's not that it's inconvenient, it's that the debt collectors are blocking my door. I reckon I'm hiding at home right now and don't dare to go out."
This guy is such a nice person, always bringing up the very thing he shouldn't have said!
Huo Nanxiao's face was very ugly.
Helian Jue laughed out loud: "It seems you don't like this fiancée that much either."
Ji Feibai: "What do you know? Nan Xiao cares about her too much, so he can only watch helplessly as his family is bullied by the old man. We all know Uncle Huo's temper. If he dares to stand up and protect Xia Wanwan at this time, Xia Wanwan's head will probably be rolled off by nightfall."
Fu Xiyu angrily retorted, "Have you gloated enough?"
"How can you call it gloating? I'm just rationally analyzing the current situation. Why are you getting so worked up? It's none of your business," Ji Feibai said seriously.
