Chapter 549 It's time to assert sovereignty.
Huo Nanxiao left last night and didn't return, causing Xia Wanwan to lose face at the engagement banquet.
Today, she came to the company to see Huo Nanxiao in order to save face, but she did not expect Ye Su to directly call Xia Ningxi "Young Madam". How is this any different from slapping her in the face?
Xia Wanwan tried hard to remain calm, but she couldn't manage a smile on her pretty face.
She slowly raised her head and met Ye Su's eyes: "I'm already engaged to Nan Xiao. If you continue to address Ning Xi like that, it won't be good for outsiders to hear."
“Miss Wanwan is right. However, the president and the young mistress are not divorced yet. If I rashly change my form of address, the old man will definitely blame me. I am just an employee and can only follow the rules,” Ye Su replied.
Xia Wanwan said, "I know Nan Xiao is not divorced, but everyone knows that I am engaged to Nan Xiao. I still need to change how I address Ning Xi in the future, otherwise if others hear this, they will not only talk about me, but also criticize your president."
Ye Su nodded: "I understand."
Xia Wanwan sipped the coffee Ye Su had brought her and sat quietly in her office, waiting.
Ye Su walked out of the president's office and saw a group of people craning their necks to look at her. Ye Su warned, "Go do your own thing, don't ask questions, and don't talk nonsense."
Upon hearing this, everyone nodded in agreement.
Ye Su walked quickly towards the conference room and told Huo Nanxiao about Xia Wanwan's visit to the company.
"What is she doing here?" Huo Nanxiao was surprised.
Ye Su was puzzled: "I don't understand either. I guess he has something important to discuss with the president."
Huo Nanxiao knew very well that he had nothing to talk about with Xia Wanwan, so he returned to his office after the meeting.
"Nan Xiao, you're back." Xia Wanwan was overjoyed to see him.
The man showed no emotion, coldly walking past Xia Wanwan to sit down at his desk, turning on his computer to continue his work.
"Why didn't you tell me you were coming to the company? I don't have time to entertain you." Huo Nanxiao's attitude was indescribably cold.
Xia Wanwan said, "You didn't go back to the banquet hall last night. I was worried about you and Ning Xi, but I didn't want to go to Ning Xi myself. Is she alright?"
"She's fine, she's already been discharged from the hospital." Huo Nanxiao's cold gaze shifted from the computer screen to Xia Wanwan: "If you're not feeling well, don't go running around. Just stay home and rest during this time, and try to stay home as much as possible. I've been very busy lately, so if you're bored, find someone to go out with you."
Although Huo Nanxiao was already engaged to Xia Wanwan, his attitude was surprisingly cold.
From the moment he entered the room until now, Huo Nanxiao had been focused on his work and hadn't even glanced at Xia Wanwan. It was as if the person sitting in front of him was no different from air. He was immersed in his work, while Xia Wanwan had the illusion that she shouldn't be there.
Xia Wanwan didn't know what to say. Watching the man's busy figure, her heart sank to the bottom. She opened her mouth to say something, but in the end, she swallowed the words back.
Huo Nanxiao was so busy that he barely had time to care about Xia Wanwan.
Xia Wanwan was left hanging for an entire afternoon.
When Huo Nanxiao finished his work, he realized it was already dark, and Xia Wanwan was already asleep on the sofa.
He then remembered that Xia Wanwan had never left.
He woke Xia Wanwan up.
"Are you... done with your work?" Xia Wanwan asked in a dazed, hoarse voice.
“Okay. It’s getting dark, I’ll take you home,” Huo Nanxiao said.
Xia Wanwan glanced out the window and realized it was pitch black outside. She didn't refuse Huo Nanxiao and got into his car, but when they arrived at the Xia family's gate, Huo Nanxiao didn't intend to get out.
"Come sit at my place for a while," Xia Wanwan invited.
Huo Nanxiao declined: "No."
“They are all my family.” Xia Wanwan still wanted to insist.
Huo Nanxiao said, "I got engaged to you simply because I didn't want your life to be too hard. I didn't mean anything else by it."
"I...I know." The woman's voice was hoarse. She looked away from Huo Nanxiao's eyes, not daring to meet his gaze. She suppressed her grievances and said, "Last night when you saw Ning Xi off, many people in the banquet hall were talking about it. They were all wondering why you would leave with another woman when it was supposed to be our engagement party."
“I know Ningxi is injured and you must take her to the hospital, but these outsiders don’t know that. They only believe what they see. This engagement banquet didn’t make me look good. On the contrary, I even feel that many people are laughing at me and mocking me behind my back.”
Xia Wanwan looked at Huo Nanxiao with red eyes: "This is not what I wanted."
"I can't give you much." Huo Nanxiao's voice was devoid of warmth.
Xia Wanwan lowered her head and gave a bitter smile: "I know, but at least I should act like this in front of outsiders, and I should also put on a show in front of my parents. I know it's wrong of them to scheme against the Huo family, but in the end they were thinking of me, so don't blame them."
"The person I feel sorry for is you. As for your parents, there's no need to maintain any relationship with them. You should rest well. I won't see you upstairs."
Huo Nanxiao distanced himself completely from the relationship.
In his view, Xia Wanwan is Xia Wanwan, and Zhou Fenglin and Xia Wenhe have nothing to do with him.
They don't like Xia Ningxi, and they're not good to the child either, so Huo Nanxiao doesn't need to give them any special treatment.
Even though he had arrived at his doorstep, Huo Nanxiao didn't plan to go in for a while. After dropping Xia Wanwan off, Huo Nanxiao drove away.
Zhou Fenglin and Xia Luoluo heard the car and ran out to check, only to find that Huo Nanxiao's car had already driven far away.
Zhou Fenglin said angrily, "Young Master Huo is already home, why don't you invite him in for a seat?"
“He has other things to do,” Xia Wanwan replied.
Zhou Fenglin said, "What could be more important than you?"
"I don't know." Xia Wanwan pushed her wheelchair home.
Zhou Fenglin: "Could it be that you went to find Xia Ningxi? Last night was your engagement, such a big event, and Huo Nanxiao not only didn't stay at the banquet to accompany you and entertain the guests, but he also carried Xia Ningxi out in the end. Many people saw it. After such a big thing happened, you didn't even ask Huo Nanxiao for an explanation."
"Now that you are engaged to Huo Nanxiao, you are the eldest daughter-in-law of the Huo family. Xia Ningxi has to give way to you. You can't let Xia Ningxi occupy your position forever. You can't be weak when it's time to assert your rights."
I think Huo Nanxiao is probably blinded by that vixen Xia Ningxi. Tomorrow, go find Xia Ningxi and tell her to leave the capital with the child. If she refuses, I'll personally lead people to kick them out. Otherwise, if that vixen stays in the capital, you won't be able to live peacefully as the eldest young mistress of the Huo family.
