Chapter 708 Too despicable
Fu Xiyu had always known that Xia Ningxi was an outstanding person, but he did not expect that Xia Ningxi was so capable. She could easily shift the blame with just a few words. Xia Wanwan was indeed no match for her and probably wouldn't last two moves against her.
But Xia Ningxi had no way of knowing what he was thinking.
Xia Ningxi only knew that from the moment she sat down, Fu Xiyu had a bad attitude and his eyes were full of hostility.
In fact, Xia Ningxi could tell that Fu Xiyu liked Xia Wanwan, otherwise he wouldn't have protected her so much.
At the same time, she also looked down on Fu Xiyu. He clearly wanted to do a lot of things, but he hid behind the scenes and did nothing. That was bad enough, but he also had to jump out and criticize others.
If Fu Xiyu had any ambition or a bit more courage, he should have stood up for Xia Wanwan when she was wronged.
pity……
Xia Ningxi sneered: "Young Master Fu only has one mouth."
Fu Xiyu choked.
Xia Ningxi added, "I don't understand what you do with all this money. You watch your best friend get into trouble and her family face bankruptcy, but you just stand by and do nothing. You're here babbling on and on to some unimportant person. I can't solve your problems."
“Uncle Huo only has eyes for you, his daughter-in-law. He’s targeting Xia Wanwan now because he wants to help you get revenge. Only if you step in can the Xia family get through this crisis. If you don’t speak up, even if I do it, it will be useless. I can’t control Uncle Huo’s thoughts, nor can I stop him from doing what he’s going to do.” Fu Xiyu explained the situation very seriously.
Xia Ningxi shrugged indifferently: "Since you know that the old man is a man of his word and cannot be controlled, why come to me to complain?"
"Only you can help the Xia family get through this crisis, and only you can persuade him." Fu Xiyu looked at Xia Ningxi, hoping that she could convince Huo Xiuyuan.
But why should Xia Ningxi listen to him?
Xia Ningxi put down her barbecue and met Fu Xiyu's eyes: "Why should I plead for him? The old man is unhappy simply because Xia Wanwan did something that displeased him. Do you think that just my divorce from Huo Nanxiao is enough to make him want to kill the Xia family? Not at all!"
"Over the years, their family has made a lot of money outside by using the Huo family's name. Everyone knows what kind of people the couple are. Xia Luoluo is no good either. Xia Wanwan still protects people like that. How could the old man like her?"
Her cool voice was full of accusation.
Fu Xiyu was speechless for a moment.
Xia Ningxi scoffed disdainfully: "So what if you and Xia Wanwan are close? I'm not familiar with you, so you have no right to criticize me. Since you've made things clear today, I'll speak frankly and have a proper discussion with you."
Regardless of Xia Wanwan's past relationship with Huo Nanxiao, or any agreements they made, I am Huo Nanxiao's legal wife, and I am the eldest daughter-in-law of the Huo family. Any property under Huo Nanxiao's name belongs to my husband and me.
Xia Wanwan moved into my house without my permission and is still entangled with my husband. Is she pure, noble, and untainted by the mud? How could she do something like this, getting involved with a married man? If you really want to use the life-saving favor as an excuse, does that mean everyone in the world has to repay kindness with their bodies? That would be far too despicable!
The Huo family has given them quite a lot over the years—one billion yuan, enough for Xia Wanwan to live on for a lifetime. Am I being too greedy, or is she simply insatiable? Can't you use your brain and think about it properly?"
Her strong and powerful voice was full of strength!
Fu Xiyu was speechless after being rebuked by her, and for a moment he didn't know what to say.
Ji Feibai stared at Xia Ningxi in astonishment, stunned for several seconds before clapping exaggeratedly, his face full of admiration: "That's right! Absolutely right! I think so too!"
Jin Mingxi said, "This matter really cannot be blamed on Dr. Xia."
Helian Jue glanced at Xia Ningxi without saying a word, only thinking that she was quite formidable.
If it were any other girl, knowing Fu Xiyu's noble status, she wouldn't dare to raise her voice at all. But Xia Ningxi was different; she immediately launched into a tirade, practically stomping on Fu Xiyu's face and cursing him. If there weren't so many people watching, Xia Ningxi probably would have directly cursed Fu Xiyu's ancestors.
As for the person involved, Young Master Fu, he kept his mouth shut for a long time but couldn't squeeze out a complete sentence.
Thinking about it carefully, it really is just as Xia Ningxi said; the things the Xia family has done over the years have indeed gone a bit too far.
He did want to clear Xia Wanwan's name, but Xia Wanwan had a very protective personality. No matter what her family did wrong, Xia Wanwan would defend them. She cared a lot about the family's reputation and what others thought of them. So, during this period, Xia Wanwan had been protecting Xia Wenhe and the others.
You could say she did something wrong, or you could say she did something wrong. Who would think it's wrong to protect your family?
You could say she's right; the things she did certainly couldn't be liked by everyone.
At least Huo Xiuyuan doesn't like Xia Wanwan or the Xia family, which is why he's targeting her like this.
Fu Xiyu sighed helplessly: "You're right, Wanwan did make some mistakes, but she's in poor health now and can't even take care of herself. She can only rely on others for support, so it's understandable that she sides with her family."
"And then?" Xia Ningxi asked expressionlessly.
Fu Xiyu said, "Even if the Xia family has done many wrong things, they don't deserve to die. You are family, and you shouldn't watch each other's reputations be ruined. You should protect your family like Wanwan does."
"Who do you think you are? Why should I listen to you?" Xia Ningxi retorted.
Fu Xiyu's lips twitched violently.
Ji Feibai stepped in to smooth things over: "Alright, Xiyu, what's wrong with you today? Eat your food and stop bringing up other people."
Jin Mingxi also advised, "Eat more, and stop talking."
"What kind of attitude is this?" Fu Xiyu snapped.
Ji Feibai pressed his face against hers and said, "Do you still want Dr. Xia to point her finger at you and yell at you? She's already given you enough face. You'd better take the opportunity to back down. Don't forget, she's the one who saved your sister."
This moral blackmail left Fu Xiyu feeling like he had a fishbone stuck in his throat; even swallowing a fly wouldn't have been as painful.
It felt like a mountain was pressing down on Fu Xiyu; he wanted to do something, but he couldn't get away.
Ji Feibai kept putting food on his plate and advising him to be magnanimous and not meddle in other people's business.
Fu Xiyu looked at the woman in front of him. Her beautiful face was cold and indifferent, as if if he said another word that she didn't like to hear, Xia Ningxi would throw the dishes on the table at him.
never mind!
Fu Xiyu remained silent.
Xia Ningxi rolled her eyes at him and silently ate her lamb skewers, acting completely like the lady of the house.
Actually, she had nothing to feel guilty about. She had already given Xia Wanwan a satisfactory answer about what happened back then, and they were even.
If both parties remain at peace and do not cause trouble for each other, the matter will simply pass.
But if Fu Xiyu insists on making things difficult and stuffing disgusting things into Xia Ningxi's mouth, then Xia Ningxi shouldn't blame him.
She could talk about Xia Wanwan with anyone and be completely justified. Besides, she was the legal wife, and Xia Wanwan was the mistress. When did it become the mistress's place to criticize the legal wife?
If Fu Xiyu had any sense at all, he wouldn't have spoken up for Xia Wanwan in front of Xia Ningxi.
So that night, Fu Xiyu couldn't eat a single bite, as if he had swallowed a fly. He was probably so ashamed of being scolded by Xia Ningxi that he was too embarrassed to talk to her anymore, and he shut his mouth like a mute.
In the end, Fu Xiyu was too ashamed to stay any longer. After taking a sip of hot tea, he said, "I'll go back first."
He got up and left.
Jin Mingxi wanted to call out to him, but in the end she held back.
After Fu Xiyu left, Jin Mingxi asked Xia Ningxi, "I heard you've resigned. Where do you plan to go next?"
"Going abroad," Xia Ningxi replied.
Jin Mingxi said, "There are many good places to go in China. The capital city has many good hospitals and the top laboratories in the country. Whether you go to the front line to treat patients or do research in the laboratory, the capital city is a good choice. I suggest you stay."
Huo Nanxiao's eyes lit up when he heard this. He didn't say anything, just drank his tea silently, but his deep eyes kept staring at Xia Ningxi.
Xia Ningxi was unaware of these things. She said, "There are good places everywhere. Besides, I have already promised someone, so I am more willing to develop my career abroad."
Jin Mingxi sighed, "Tang En's team is already full, so I think his enthusiastic invitation to you is actually because he's interested in you."
