Chapter 737 I will persuade her to stay
After hearing Chu Chu's suggestion, the two older brothers fell silent. For a moment, they thought it was a good idea. It could resolve Xia Wanwan's situation peacefully, protect their family, and safeguard Huo Nanxiao's enormous assets. Their grandparents had been so good to them, they would definitely take good care of them.
Xingxing said seriously, "That's not impossible."
Huo Yuan: "But we'll lose Daddy, is that really a good thing?"
Xingxing said, "Well, there's nothing we can do. Daddy's going to run off with someone else, so we can't just do nothing. You all know what kind of person Xia Wanwan is, and those people in the Xia family aren't any good either. If they manage to climb the social ladder, who knows how they'll bully us in the future."
Huo Yuan: "Let Grandpa handle this matter. Grandpa doesn't like Xia Wanwan either, and I believe he will definitely not agree to this marriage."
Xia Ningxi filled all three of their little backpacks to the brim and said, "You three shouldn't think so much. Your daddy and I are divorced, so who he marries or who he marries has nothing to do with me, and it doesn't really matter to you either. Once Mommy is done with these things, I'll take you away."
"Then I can't let Xia Wanwan into the Huo family either." Xingxing couldn't swallow her anger.
Chu Chu: "Let's have Grandpa deal with Daddy."
Xingxing: "You're right. We haven't even left yet, and Daddy is already rushing to get married. This is clearly a deliberate attempt to humiliate Mommy. He could have gotten married after we left. It wouldn't have made a difference if he had waited a few more days. He just had to choose this time. It's intentional."
Chu Chu: "Daddy is a big bad guy, we shouldn't let him get away with this!"
Xia Ningxi was exhausted: "Are you three coming or not?"
"Why should we leave? This is our home too. If we leave now, won't Daddy take that woman home?" Huo Yuan said anxiously.
If we were to name the child among the three who least wanted to see Xia Wanwan, it would be Huo Yuan. Huo Yuan was terrified of the Xia family; the entire family instilled a deep-seated fear in him. The thought of possibly living with Xia Wanwan in the future made him tremble with fear.
Therefore, Huo Yuan firmly stated that he would stay and file a complaint.
Xingxing and Chuchu also decided to stay.
Xia Ningxi couldn't persuade the three children and didn't know what to do.
Just as she was worrying, she heard the sound of things being smashed downstairs. People were arguing downstairs. Puzzled, she ran to the window and looked out. There was a familiar car parked downstairs. It was Huo Nanxiao's car.
Huo Nanxiao is back.
So who could be the person throwing things downstairs?
The image of Huo Xiuyuan flashed through Xia Ningxi's mind, and she silently locked the door.
"Mommy, is Daddy back?" Xingxing had already guessed everything.
Xia Ningxi said, "He and your grandfather must have something to talk about, let's not go down and disturb them."
Huo Yuan said, "But I feel like Grandpa is angry. When he's angry, he doesn't speak properly. He even uses a stick to talk to people."
“Then you definitely can’t go down there. If you accidentally get hurt, Mommy will be heartbroken,” Xia Ningxi reassured the three little ones.
Chu Chu had already run to the door, unlocked it, and poked half her head out.
"Chu Chu, come back." Xia Ningxi quickly reminded her.
Chu Chu lowered her voice and said, "Mommy, it's okay, I won't go down. I'll just see what happened."
Xia Ningxi picked up the little girl and said, "If you have nothing to do, go and put together your brothers' Lego sets."
"I don't know," Chu Chu replied in her childish voice.
Xia Ningxi: "Then let the older brothers teach us."
"Mommy's stingy. Mommy just doesn't want me to go out and see the excitement." Chu Chu pouted, her eyes reddening with sadness.
Xia Ningxi gently placed the soft, cuddly little girl on the bed and soothed her softly, "Good girl, Chuchu, let adults handle adult matters. You're still a child, so don't get involved. Watching too much of this kind of thing won't help. Just stay in your room and play quietly. I'll go downstairs and take a look."
At this point, Xia Ningxi said to Xingxing very seriously, "Xingxing, take good care of your brother and sister, don't let them go downstairs, and don't get involved in this matter. You can do it, right?"
Xingxing nodded: "I understand, Mommy, go ahead and do your work. I'll take good care of them."
Xia Ningxi felt relieved, closed the door, and turned to go downstairs.
As she expected, Huo Xiuyuan was indeed downstairs. She didn't know what he said to Huo Nanxiao, but Huo Xiuyuan was furious and his eyes were so sharp they looked like he wanted to devour someone. No one in the huge house dared to speak. The servants and housekeepers all hid silently in corners where Huo Xiuyuan couldn't see them, not daring to breathe.
Huo Nanxiao's expression remained calm. No matter how angry Huo Xiuyuan was, he remained composed and did not move an inch no matter what Huo Xiuyuan said, showing no intention of arguing.
Xia Ningxi was puzzled as to how Huo Nanxiao could remain so calm. She stood on the steps, hesitant to come down.
Huo Xiuyuan was clearly enraged by Huo Nanxiao, pointing his finger at Huo's nose and yelling, "You've got some nerve, daring to announce the wedding date directly! Who gave you permission? Did I? You think you can get away with it by announcing it to the media? I can make sure she doesn't live to see that day."
"I've already taken the person away. As for the Xia family members, I have no objection to how you deal with them. The only exception is Xia Wanwan; I won't let your people see her," Huo Nanxiao replied.
Huo Xiuyuan was so angry that his fists hardened: "So, you hid them away overnight? You have some nerve!"
"My marriage to Xia Wanwan was already arranged long ago. I know you don't like her, but it's all something I owe her, and I should keep my promise. As for Ning Xi and the child, I will give them a sum of money to ensure they won't suffer in the future." Huo Nanxiao's voice was firm and powerful.
But this was not the outcome Huo Xiuyuan wanted. He said, "Is giving money enough? That's your child. Are you really willing to abandon your own child for Xia Wanwan?"
“I will persuade her to stay. As long as she stays, the child will stay in the capital. Lanyuan has always been hers, and she can live there with the child at any time. I will have no objection,” Huo Nanxiao replied.
He had thought everything through. He had considered everything about the children's future plans and everything he would give Xia Ningxi. He would not mistreat Xia Ningxi and the children. Even if Xia Ningxi did not want it, he would still give her enough wealth.
But that's all Huo Nanxiao could offer. He could roughly guess what kind of life Xia Wanwan was living in the Xia family because of her poor health.
Without him to rely on, Xia Wanwan could only wait to die.
Huo Nanxiao couldn't be that heartless, nor could he bear to watch Xia Wanwan suffer, so he could only ask others to suffer instead.
