Chapter 377 I Will Marry No One Else
Huo Jinchuan wasn't afraid that Xia Ningxi would be angry at all; instead, he looked at her with a smile.
Xia Ningxi knew this guy was doing it on purpose, and glared at him.
Huo Jinchuan smiled faintly, completely ignoring the warning in Xia Ningxi's eyes.
Xia Ningxi realized that this guy was doing it on purpose, and she wasn't going to tolerate Huo Jinchuan. She immediately grabbed Huo Jinchuan's pulse.
Before Huo Jinchuan could react, a piercing pain spread from his knuckles. Huo Jinchuan's expression changed drastically. Did this damned woman want to kill him?!
"Are you not feeling well?" Huo Nanxiao asked.
Huo Jinchuan endured the pain, gasped for breath, and shook off Xia Ningxi's hand, forcing a smile as he said, "I suddenly got a cramp, it's...it's nothing!"
Huo Nanxiao glanced sharply at Xia Ningxi, said nothing, and walked straight between the two.
The butler hurriedly came up to serve tea to Huo Nanxiao, and also poured a cup of tea for Huo Jinchuan.
Huo Jinchuan didn't dare to approach Xia Ningxi, fearing she might break another finger of his, so he sat down directly opposite Huo Nanxiao.
Xia Ningxi didn't want to get involved, so she turned to leave.
Huo Nanxiao suddenly asked, "Where are you going?"
Xia Ningxi stopped in her tracks: "Let's go upstairs."
"Come here." Huo Nanxiao's deep voice was full of authority and intimidation.
Xia Ningxi steeled herself and walked to Huo Nanxiao's side.
Huo Nanxiao grasped her cold hand, a move that startled Xia Ningxi. She panicked and instinctively tried to pull her hand back, but Huo Nanxiao was very domineering, holding her wrist tightly, which hurt her a little.
Huo Nanxiao held Xia Ningxi's left hand as if it were a precious toy, and used a wet wipe to domineeringly wipe the skin that Huo Jinchuan had touched.
"I can do it myself." Xia Ningxi's ears were flushed red. She was a little embarrassed and shook off Huo Nanxiao's hand, wiping herself off.
Even if Huo Jinchuan was stupid, he could tell that Huo Nanxiao was disgusted with him. He looked at Xia Ningxi wiping her hands with a wet wipe and chuckled, "Big brother, you're back so early today, is everything alright at the hospital?"
Huo Nanxiao said, "What's it to you?"
Huo Jinchuan's lips twitched. He said, "I just heard that Sister-in-law Wanwan has woken up. I haven't seen my brother take her out for so many days, so I'm a little worried about her."
"Your own company is almost bankrupt and you still have the mood to care about others? You must have a lot of free time," Huo Nanxiao said lazily.
Huo Jinchuan smiled slightly: "Thanks to you, brother, I've been quite idle lately. I'm not only concerned about Sister-in-law Wanwan, but also about Xixi. I wonder if you've thought this through, brother. If Sister-in-law Wanwan knew that you're still clinging to Xixi, she would definitely be unhappy."
Huo Jinchuan always brings up topics that are best left unsaid.
Knowing full well that Xia Wanwan was the obstacle between Huo Nanxiao and Xia Ningxi, he kept mentioning Xia Wanwan's name, as if he couldn't wait to see Huo Nanxiao and Xia Ningxi fight.
Aunt Zhang poured Huo Jinchuan a glass of water and said, "Second Young Master, you're quite the busybody."
Huo Jinchuan said, "Aunt Zhang, that's not very kind of you. Everyone in the capital knows that my brother is going to marry Xia Wanwan. Xixi, you've heard about this too, haven't you?"
Xia Ningxi replied expressionlessly, "Not interested."
Huo Jinchuan said, "I imagine Xia Wanwan will be very interested in Xixi's affairs."
Huo Nanxiao said, "If you don't have anything else to say, just shut up."
"Heh, big brother, are you so afraid of me mentioning Xia Wanwan? I remember you told Father before that you would never marry anyone but Xia Wanwan in this lifetime."
Huo Jinchuan was always eager to stir up trouble. Even though he knew that Huo Nanxiao and Xia Ningxi had a bad relationship, he still fanned the flames and deliberately provoked them.
Even the butler standing nearby couldn't bear to watch any longer and kept pouring tea for Huo Jinchuan, always scalding hot tea.
"Second Young Master, have some tea, it'll get cold soon." The butler said respectfully.
Huo Jinchuan looked at the billowing smoke and said with a smile, "I understand, you can leave now."
The butler said, "The second young master must have come to see the master. I'll go upstairs and tell him right away."
"No need, I don't have anything to do. I just want to have a good chat with my brother and Xixi." Huo Jinchuan stopped the butler, not intending to let him meddle in his business.
The butler said, "Second Young Master, according to the rules, you should call the Young Madam 'Sister-in-law'."
"Xia Wanwan isn't here." Huo Jinchuan showed Xia Ningxi absolutely no respect.
Although Xia Ningxi knew that Huo Jinchuan was doing it on purpose, she was still somewhat angry to hear him disregard her status and position like that.
She rolled her eyes at Huo Jinchuan.
If it were someone else, after hearing Huo Jinchuan's words, they would definitely resent Huo Nanxiao, thinking that Huo Nanxiao did not give them enough respect and that's why they were humiliated, and thus they would argue with Huo Nanxiao.
Xia Ningxi was not annoyed, because she knew better than anyone else Xia Wanwan's place in Huo Nanxiao's heart, and she would not get angry because of Huo Jinchuan's few words.
She quietly opened the snack box and started eating pumpkin seeds.
Huo Nanxiao glanced at Xia Ningxi, who seemed completely indifferent. Her beautiful face revealed no emotion, and Huo Nanxiao had no idea whether Xia Ningxi was angry or not.
However, the fact that Xia Ningxi didn't get angry meant that she didn't intend to argue with him.
As for Huo Jinchuan...
Huo Nanxiao said, "I heard that you just sent the company's vice president to Lingcheng today."
Huo Jinchuan's smile froze instantly.
Huo Nanxiao said, "Let's bring them back."
"What do you mean?" Huo Jinchuan asked with a serious expression.
Huo Nanxiao said, "No one will take your business."
“You—” Huo Jinchuan stood up instantly.
Huo Nanxiao didn't even look at him. His fair fingers snatched the nut from Xia Ningxi's hand, and he casually used tongs to crack it open, then put the nut to Xia Ningxi's mouth.
Xia Ningxi was slightly taken aback. She looked around and found that everyone was looking at her, but she didn't say anything.
Huo Nanxiao was displeased and forcibly stuffed the nuts into Xia Ningxi's mouth.
Xia Ningxi's face turned red, and she coughed repeatedly from the choking, so much so that her coughing drowned out Huo Jinchuan's angry voice.
Huo Jinchuan was seething with anger, but seeing Xia Ningxi coughing so badly, he had to suppress it. His face was dark and his teeth were chattering: "I knew it was you who was behind this."
“I did it. If you’re not honest, I can bankrupt your company at any time,” Huo Nanxiao replied.
Huo Jinchuan said, "Jinhe Group has my father's investment and control. If I go bankrupt, my father will come after you first."
Huo Nanxiao sneered: "The Huo family has plenty of branch companies, they don't need this one. He's currently being entangled with his two grandsons and is enjoying it. He has no time to care about your life or death."
During this period, Huo Nanxiao often took his three children back to the old house. Because of the three children, Huo Xiuyuan had to put aside almost all his company affairs and devoted his time and energy to spending time with his children, leaving him no time to attend to company matters.
Huo Nanxiao was well aware that Huo Jinchuan wanted to sow discord between Huo Nanxiao and Xia Ningxi.
Huo Nanxiao even knew that Huo Jinchuan wanted Xia Wanwan to marry into the Huo family smoothly, and that Xia Ningxi would leave the capital with her three children, so that the Huo family would have no heir.
