Chapter 452 Is he blind?
Li Yancheng definitely knew what happened back then, but Xia Ningxi didn't know why he was hiding it.
Xia Ningxi told Xia Jingcheng, "Xia Wanwan's matter has nothing to do with my brother. I'm already investigating. There's someone who might know what really happened back then, but he's not willing to tell me yet."
Xia Jingcheng was surprised: "Who?"
“Li Yancheng,” Xia Ningxi replied.
Xia Jingcheng said, "If we really investigate what happened back then, it all started because of him. Huo Nanxiao's accident was also because of him."
“Yes, so Li Yancheng should know very well why Xia Wanwan was injured.” Xia Ningxi was very determined.
Xia Jingcheng was very worried: "Ning Xi, he is no good. You must not get too close to that guy surnamed Li. I'm worried he will hurt you."
"Don't worry, brother, he won't dare to touch me yet," Xia Ningxi reassured him.
Xia Jingcheng said, "You can't be too careful. I heard some bad news today. Did you stay at the Li family's house last night?"
"No, that's all nonsense," Xia Ningxi denied.
Xia Jingcheng breathed a sigh of relief: "That's for the best. You must stay away from Li Yancheng. I heard that Li Yancheng was shot and almost lost his life. He must be back to seek revenge."
The power struggles between these powerful families are not something we can get involved in. If you get caught up in it, you could lose your life. So you absolutely must not get too close to them. Since you have no emotional entanglement with Li Yancheng, stay away from him and don't see him again.
"No, I must find out the truth." Xia Ningxi rejected Xia Jingcheng's suggestion.
Xia Jingcheng said, "What else do you want to investigate? Don't you know that anything related to Huo Nanxiao will bring you misfortune? You are not Xia Wanwan, who has Huo Nanxiao to protect her. You have nothing by your side."
"Brother, don't worry about me. I know very well what I'm doing. Now I'm a public figure. If there's any bad influence, the higher-ups will definitely investigate. If Li Yancheng is smart, he would never hurt me."
Xia Ningxi paused for a moment, then continued, "Besides, you said that Huo Nanxiao won't let me and the child leave easily if the truth of what happened back then isn't found out. Whether for my own sake or for the child's, I must find out everything that happened back then."
Xia Jingcheng knew that Xia Ningxi's mind was made up, and there was no point in saying anything more, so he simply stopped talking.
However, Li Yancheng is not someone who is easy to deal with, and it is obvious that Li Yancheng is using Xia Ningxi.
He knew all about Xia Ningxi's relationship with Huo Nanxiao, yet he still spread the news of his relationship with Xia Ningxi throughout the capital, causing quite a stir. Now, many people probably know about this, right?
Xia Jingcheng was very worried.
Because of this incident, Xia Ningxi once again became the focus of discussion in high society.
The Xia family.
Zhou Fenglin was furious all day after hearing the news.
"What kind of incredible luck did Xia Ningxi have? That's Li Yancheng, the one who can be compared to Huo Nanxiao! What did he see in Xia Ningxi?"
"Doesn't he know that Xia Ningxi has given birth? Does this man have a problem with his sexual orientation? Why is he interested in Xia Ningxi, a used woman, when there are so many beautiful young ladies out there?"
"Is he blind or has he lost his mind?!"
Zhou Fenglin swore and cursed.
Xia Wanwan put down her newspaper and said with a smile, "Mother, isn't it good that Ning Xi has found a good partner?"
"What's so great about her? With such good qualities, Li Yancheng can only be interested in her? Your sister is so outstanding, he should be a good match for her!" Zhou Fenglin said.
Xia Luoluo replied, "Li Yancheng and Huo Nanxiao are enemies. It's already good enough that he's not targeting us. How could he possibly be interested in me?"
"Then why did he fall for Xia Ningxi? It's because you're incompetent; you can't even compare to Xia Ningxi," Zhou Fenglin scolded.
Xia Luoluo's face turned pale: "Why are you bringing this up out of the blue?"
“If you were capable enough to marry Li Yancheng, and then your sister married Huo Nanxiao, the entire capital city would be under our family’s control! That guy surnamed Li could even fancy Xia Ningxi, how could he not fancy you? To put it bluntly, you’re just incompetent.” Zhou Fenglin said, exasperated.
Xia Luoluo felt upset and said angrily, "Of course I don't have my sister's good luck in gaining Huo Shao's appreciation, but Xia Ningxi is definitely not that lucky either. I don't think Li Yancheng really likes Xia Ningxi."
"If the media outside are reporting this, how could it be false?" Zhou Fenglin retorted.
Xia Luoluo said, "Li Yancheng isn't stupid. Why would he choose a woman who has given birth? In my opinion, he just wants to make Huo Nanxiao uncomfortable. He deliberately publicizes his pursuit of Xia Ningxi, but in reality, he doesn't like Xia Ningxi at all."
"Hmph, you're quite clever. If what you say is true, and Li Yancheng wants to make Huo Nanxiao angry, then he should be pursuing your sister instead of Xia Ningxi! You're just incompetent." Zhou Fenglin reprimanded Xia Luoluo without any politeness.
Xia Luoluo bit her lip and remained silent.
Xia Wanwan held Zhou Fenglin's hand: "Mother, please don't blame my sister. She's still young and can find a good family in the future."
“If she could be half as good as you, I wouldn’t be so worried.” After his anger subsided, Zhou Fenglin held Xia Wanwan’s hand and patted it with satisfaction. “You’re the best. Once you marry into the Huo family, I’ll be at ease, and our family will be able to hold our heads high in high society.”
Xia Wanwan said, "Let's talk about marriage later."
"Why wait until later? This kind of thing can't be delayed. Wanwan, you need to be more diligent and whisper sweet nothings in Huo Nanxiao's ear so that he can at least marry you first. Otherwise, things might change if too much time goes by," Zhou Fenglin admonished her.
Xia Wanwan said, "It's not like I can just marry anyone I want. Master Huo doesn't like me at all."
"He has no right to dislike you. If you hadn't saved Huo Nanxiao's life, the Huo family line would have ended long ago. They should all be grateful to you." Zhou Fenglin was very angry.
Xia Wanwan said, "I don't have children now and I still need to use a wheelchair. It's normal for a big family like the Huo family to look down on me. Besides, the person I saved was Nan Xiao, not Old Master Huo. He doesn't owe me anything, so it's normal for him not to agree to me joining the Huo family."
"Since Huo Nanxiao promised to marry you, he must keep his promise. This is something the Huo family owes you. They have no reason to refuse you entry into the Huo family. If they dare to go back on their word, I will make a big fuss about this and make the Huo family lose face!" Zhou Fenglin said.
Xia Wanwan fell silent, her head bowed, her emotions a jumble of complex feelings.
Xia Wanwan had no hope for what Zhou Fenglin said, because she knew that Huo Nanxiao was no longer the Huo Nanxiao of the past.
