Chapter 605 Let's bury this white lotus flower.
Xia Wanwan's situation was already very difficult, and being mocked by Fu Mingyan made her feel even more ashamed. She didn't even know how to explain herself, and looked at Huo Nanxiao helplessly, feeling wronged and guilty.
Fu Mingyan rolled her eyes, thinking to herself: Shameless.
Huo Xiuyuan had initially thought that Xia Wanwan had saved Huo Nanxiao, so he would give her some face. However, after hearing Fu Mingyan and Xingxing's words, his anger rose rapidly. He said angrily, "Since Miss Xia is so delicate and frail, she should stay at home obediently from now on and never come out again in this lifetime."
Whoosh—
Xia Wanwan was struck dumb.
Fear was all that remained on her face!
The others were also shocked by Huo Xiuyuan's words, and they looked at him in disbelief, wanting to plead for Xia Wanwan.
Fu Xiyu was the first to speak: "Uncle Huo, Wanwan didn't mean it that way. Xia Ningxi's injury wasn't her responsibility. Please don't vent your anger on Wanwan."
"What? You're going to plead for her too? Why don't you take her back?" Huo Xiuyuan sneered, showing her no respect whatsoever.
Although Fu Xiyu also wanted to do so, Huo Nanxiao was Xia Wanwan's fiancé after all. Even if Xia Wanwan was to be taken away, it would be Huo Nanxiao, not him.
He looked at Huo Nanxiao and Xia Wanwan with mixed feelings.
"I'll come right over after I take Wanwan home," Huo Nanxiao said.
With Xia Ningxi here, Huo Nanxiao wouldn't be able to have a moment's peace all night if he couldn't even catch a glimpse of her.
Therefore, he wanted to take Xia Wanwan home and then immediately come to the hospital to be with Xia Ningxi and the child.
Huo Xiuyuan said with dissatisfaction, "Why did you come back? Just stay at her house and don't come back."
"Mr. Huo, everything that happened today was my fault. Please don't blame Nan Xiao. It has nothing to do with him." Xia Wanwan quickly apologized on behalf of Huo Nan Xiao.
Huo Xiuyuan scoffed, "Since you're so sensible, you should know that I don't like you."
"I know, I'll leave now." Xia Wanwan's eyes were filled with tears, and she didn't dare to speak loudly in front of Huo Xiuyuan.
Soaked to the bone, she looked like a drowned rat, pitiful as if she had suffered a great injustice. Everyone knew she was about to cry, but because Huo Xiuyuan was there, Xia Wanwan didn't dare to shed a single tear.
She struggled to push her wheelchair away herself.
Huo Nanxiao turned around and was about to follow.
"If you're so worried about her life or death, why don't I also send her into the operating room to get stabbed a few times?" Huo Xiuyuan suddenly uttered a sentence, saying the most terrifying thing in the calmest voice.
Huo Nanxiao abruptly stopped, his foot already planted on the ground.
He looked angrily at Huo Xiuyuan: "Why do you have to make things difficult for a patient?"
"If you don't want me to make things difficult for her, you can tell her to go home and never come out again," Huo Xiuyuan sneered.
Huo Nanxiao's handsome face turned ashen, but at this moment, he couldn't utter a single word. He knew that Huo Xiuyuan was serious. Normally, even if Huo Xiuyuan was angry, he would never personally go and cause trouble for Xia Wanwan.
Huo Nanxiao can protect Xia Wanwan in front of anyone. Even if Li Yancheng wants to harm Xia Wanwan, he is not afraid because he knows that everyone who tries to harm Xia Wanwan ultimately wants to get what they want from Huo Nanxiao.
They would want money, power, or some conveniences.
But Huo Xiuyuan is different. If he wants to harm Xia Wanwan, it must be purely out of anger!
Therefore, Huo Nanxiao dared not disobey the furious Huo Xiuyuan at this moment, fearing that he might really kill Xia Wanwan in a fit of anger.
Watching Xia Wanwan leave, her lonely figure looking so frail and forlorn, was unsettling.
"Nan Xiao?" Fu Xiyu called out softly.
Huo Nanxiao, however, did not move.
Fu Xiyu gritted his teeth and could only say to Huo Xiuyuan, "Uncle Huo, I have something to do, so I'll take my leave first."
After saying that, he quickly caught up with Xia Wanwan without waiting for Huo Xiuyuan's response.
"Mingyan, your brother has already left. Aren't you going with him?" Huo Xiuyuan asked.
Fu Mingyan said, "My brother must be chasing after that shameless vixen. I don't want to stay with them. I'll take a taxi home by myself later."
"I'll take you," Ji Feibai immediately offered.
Fu Mingyan said, "Okay, thank you."
Ji Feibai smiled slightly and tugged at Jin Mingxi's sleeve, indicating that they should go back.
Jin Mingxi nodded, looked at Li Yancheng not far away, and said, "You were there when Nan Xiao had that accident. We checked all the surveillance footage, and a lot of important things were deleted. You did it, didn't you?"
"You seem quite concerned about this matter," Li Yancheng scoffed. "You care more about Huo Nanxiao than I do."
Jin Mingxi said, "You've said so much, but is it because of what Xia Wanwan did back then?"
"Huo Nanxiao knows best what she's done. Why don't you just ask him?" Li Yancheng replied casually, but anyone could tell how sarcastic he was.
Jin Mingxi, who had originally wanted to ask some questions, suddenly fell silent.
Li Yancheng, who had previously been making all sorts of accusations against Xia Wanwan, suddenly became a well-behaved man, not saying anything bad about Xia Wanwan. Holding the child's hand, he said to Huo Nanxiao with an air of arrogance, "Young Master Huo, the children will stay with me for the night. I will send them to you tomorrow at noon. Please wait patiently and do not disturb our rare time together."
"Do you want to die?" Huo Nanxiao's knuckles were cracking.
Li Yancheng smiled, said nothing, and took the children downstairs to eat.
Huo Xiuyuan wanted to stop them, but the children were clearly injured and didn't want to go with him, nor did they want to pay attention to Huo Nanxiao. They all rejected Huo Xiuyuan's overtures and went to eat with Li Yancheng.
Huo Xiuyuan was furious with Huo Nanxiao, and all his anger was directed at him. He cursed, "Are you satisfied now? What's so good about Xia Wanwan? Look, your child has run off with someone else! Have you lost your mind? Is Xia Wanwan really worth all this?"
"Don't get involved in this matter," Huo Nanxiao said coldly.
Huo Xiuyuan was so angry he gritted his teeth: "If I don't do something, even A Yuan will have to take someone else's surname, Li! I've already given Xia Wanwan enough face. She should know what kind of person she is. I will investigate tonight's events thoroughly. If I find out that Xia Wanwan harmed Ning Xi, you can prepare her coffin!"
Huo Nanxiao's handsome face was terribly gloomy, and he did not answer Huo Xiuyuan's question.
Fu Mingyan always managed to chime in: "Uncle Huo, is there even a need for investigation? Xia Wanwan's only goal is to kick Xia Ningxi and the children out of the house and become a cheap mistress herself. Even if she didn't harm Xia Ningxi this time, she definitely will next time. She won't give up until she achieves her goal. Why not just get a coffin and bury her? It'll save me from seeing her pretending to be weak all day long."
