Chapter 917 No one is protecting her anymore
Chu Chu felt guilty: "When did he get back? Did he hear what we were saying?"
Star: "Maybe they heard it."
Huo Yuan: "Will Daddy hit us?"
No one responded to him.
Huo Nanxiao's sharp eyes lingered on the three little ones for a few seconds, making their scalps tingle.
But Huo Nanxiao didn't say anything and calmly walked towards the group.
The three little ones were so frightened that they immediately hid next to Xia Ningxi.
"Why are you running? Do you think I'd hit you?" Huo Nanxiao asked.
Huo Yuan asked in a low voice, "Did Daddy hear what we said?"
"I heard you. You're discussing sending me in too." Huo Nanxiao's voice was low.
At this moment, he was in excellent temper; other parents would probably have already grabbed a clothes hanger and whipped their child.
Huo Nanxiao was calmer than ever before, making it difficult to guess his true thoughts.
His calm demeanor made Xia Ningxi feel very uncomfortable.
"You were rejected?" Xia Ningxi asked.
"You understand Brian's personality quite well," said Honanxiao.
“A normal person would refuse your request,” Xia Ningxi replied.
Huo Nanxiao said, "I can give you the same treatment as the Ling family. Just name your price and I'll pay whatever it takes. Let's get her back first, and we can deal with the rest after she recovers."
"Is this your solution?" Xia Ningxi asked, displeased.
Huo Nanxiao: "This is the safest way. I have retrieved the surveillance footage from the time of the incident and also asked the police to intervene. This car accident has nothing to do with Wanwan. She is also a victim, and most importantly, she was the most seriously injured."
"What Zhou Fenglin did shouldn't be blamed entirely on Wanwan, either morally or logically. She's seriously injured now." He tried to absolve Xia Wanwan of any involvement in this matter.
Xia Ningxi smiled and said, "Yes, you're right. I agree with you. But I'm a little tired now. Can you go out now?"
“Ning Xi, right now you’re the only one who can persuade Brian.” Huo Nanxiao said with a serious expression.
She remained motionless, acting as if nothing had happened, interacting with the child with her head down. Clearly, she had no intention of meddling; if she continued to interfere, she might not even survive.
She is not some saint.
In the evening, Ling Shuang brought a fruit basket to see Xia Ningxi. She was quite surprised that Huo Nanxiao was still there. After saying a few sarcastic remarks, she managed to scare Huo Nanxiao away.
Ling Shuang was still puzzled: "Why has Huo Nanxiao been staying here with you these past few days? Does he have some other purpose?"
"Maybe it's for Xia Wanwan's sake. It can't be that she's only staying with me because she cares about me, right?" Xia Ningxi retorted.
Ling Shuang said, "Speaking of this, I just came back from Brian's place. He was furious. It must be related to Xia Wanwan, right? Did Huo Nanxiao fail to get help from Brian and then come to you instead?"
"Yes." Xia Ningxi did not deny it.
"He didn't make things difficult for you, did he?" Ling Shuang asked worriedly.
Xia Ningxi shook her head: "No, not at all."
"That's good. I thought Huo Nanxiao was going to drag you to see Xia Wanwan." Ling Shuang was very angry.
Xia Ningxi replied, "I'm already doing pretty well to be able to take care of myself in this condition, how could I possibly have the energy to care about Xia Wanwan? Even if Huo Nanxiao wanted me to help, it wouldn't work. As for Brian, I can't persuade him."
“That’s true. The team is currently at the most important stage, but because of Xia Wanwan’s family’s selfishness, you have been hospitalized. Now, not only is the project delayed, but the surgery in Jiangbei has also been affected.” Thinking of this, Ling Shuang felt a surge of anger.
“The Ling family has a very strong opinion about this matter. If Xia Wanwan dies, that's fine, but if she survives, the Ling family will definitely hold them accountable.”
And that Zhou Fenglin, who doesn't know his own limitations, I don't know who spoiled him into having such a lawless personality, daring to lay a hand on you right under our noses, he really doesn't want to live."
Ling Shuang was clearly intent on killing him.
Xia Ningxi didn't know what to say. Should she plead for Zhou Fenglin? She couldn't do that, but she wouldn't embellish the situation either. She would just handle things as they were.
After seven days of recuperation in the hospital, Xia Ningxi was able to get out of bed and walk around. She went to see Tang En and found that the police were taking her statement.
Tang En is determined to pursue this matter to the end.
After the police left, Tang En asked about her condition: "Are you almost fully recovered?"
"Yes, she can move around freely now. She should be fine after another half month of rest," Xia Ningxi replied.
"I called the police," Tang En said. "This time, the Xia family must pay the price."
"What were the results of the investigation?" Xia Ningxi asked.
Tang En said, "It can be basically determined that this was done by Zhou Fenglin alone. I think this matter is not that simple. Without Xia Wanwan's authorization, Zhou Fenglin could not have done this."
“Xia Wanwan is still unconscious and unable to cooperate with the investigation, but in my opinion, this was done by Zhou Fenglin and has nothing to do with Xia Wanwan,” Xia Ningxi said.
Don said with displeasure, "Are you protecting her?"
“That’s not what I meant. I just think Xia Wanwan isn’t that stupid. She was the most seriously injured in this car accident. If she planned all of this, do you think she would be that foolish?” Xia Ningxi asked rhetorically.
After thinking about it carefully, Tang En realized that what she said made sense, and asked, "What do you plan to do?"
“Follow the rules,” Xia Ningxi replied.
Tang En said, "Okay, I can agree to that, but on the condition that Huo Nanxiao cannot interfere in this matter. If he steps in to protect Xia Wanwan's family, I will immediately take countermeasures."
"Okay, I promise you." Xia Ningxi nodded in agreement.
Tang En asked in confusion, "Why are you protecting Xia Wanwan?"
“I didn’t mean to protect her. Let’s stick to the facts. If the car accident really wasn’t orchestrated by her, then there’s no need for her to take responsibility for Zhou Fenglin,” Xia Ningxi replied.
Tang En said, "I'll be able to get out of bed and move around tomorrow. I heard that Zhou Fenglin was transferred to another hospital and has already regained consciousness. How are her injuries?"
Xia Ningxi smiled wryly: "You probably didn't expect that among the four of us, Zhou Fenglin was the least injured."
"This damn thing is so lucky?" Donn exclaimed in surprise.
Xia Ningxi said, "Yes, she knows how to protect herself, but Xia Wanwan is in a terrible situation. Huo Nanxiao found many skilled doctors to prolong Xia Wanwan's life, and now she is hanging on by a thread. It's uncertain whether she can be saved."
Tang En sighed, "Tsk tsk, this mother is really ruthless. Xia Wanwan is already the Xia family's only trump card. It's one thing for them not to treat her well, but they actually thought of using Xia Wanwan's life to exchange for yours."
"It's pathetic that she ended up with a mother like that."
"If he can be so cruel to Xia Wanwan outside, who knows what he might do at home."
In the end, Don despised this family to the extreme.
What he didn't know was that Xia Wanwan's inability to recover for so long was because of Zhou Fenglin and Xia Luoluo.
Now that Xia Wanwan is in dire straits herself, no one can protect Zhou Fenglin anymore.
