Chapter 787 Saving Her
Huo Nanxiao had just returned to the company from Xia Ningxi's place when he was surprised to find that all the reporters who had gathered at the entrance that evening were gone, which was very unusual.
But he didn't take it to heart, entered the underground parking garage through the VIP passage, and took the private elevator upstairs.
"President, you're back." Ye Su quickly went to greet him and reported on the day's work.
Huo Nanxiao asked, "Didn't the board members cause any trouble?"
Ye Su said, "We made a scene all afternoon, but went home in the evening."
"What happened?" Huo Nanxiao asked.
Ye Su: "It's probably because the reporters didn't come looking for them that they didn't cause trouble for the president."
"What happened?" Huo Nanxiao immediately sensed that something was wrong.
Reporters have been staking out the company for the past few days; they couldn't possibly let Huo Nanxiao go. His sudden disappearance must have some other reason.
Ye Su asked, "The president must have come back from Xia Wanwan's, right?"
Huo Nanxiao's eyes turned cold.
Ye Su was puzzled: "I thought the president knew about this. I heard that Chairman Huo went to Xia Wanwan's place tonight and even had a conflict with the Xia family."
Huo Nanxiao's handsome face visibly changed color, and without even entering the office, he immediately called Lu Qi to inquire about the situation.
"Where is Xia Wanwan? Is she hurt? Why didn't you tell me beforehand that something so serious happened?"
The sharp voice, filled with intense anger, startled Lu Qi on the other end of the phone, making him jump.
Lu Qi: "I'm sorry, President, I thought you knew about this. Xia Wanwan is fine. The old man didn't hurt her or do anything to her. He just pushed down the gate of the villa you gave Xia Wanwan to live in. Xia Wenhe has already taken Xia Wanwan away."
He gave a general account of what happened. In short, Huo Xiuyuan kicked Xia Wanwan out, but didn't do anything to her.
Huo Nanxiao breathed a sigh of relief but stormed back to the Huo family in a rage.
Coincidentally, Xia Ningxi, who should have been resting in her dormitory, appeared at the Huo family's old mansion. She was supporting Huo Xiuyuan, who looked haggard, and the two were talking about something.
"What are you doing here?" Huo Nanxiao looked at Xia Ningxi with displeasure. She had clearly said she was going to sleep when she kicked him out tonight, but why was she at the Huo family's house at this hour?
His gaze fell on Huo Xiuyuan.
Huo Xiuyuan, whose face was already very haggard and pale, immediately regained some color when he saw Huo Nanxiao. However, it wasn't out of joy that Huo Nanxiao had come home, but rather because seeing this kid made him angry, and when he got angry, his blood rushed to his head and he wanted to hit someone.
Huo Xiuyuan: "This is Ning Xi's home. She can come back whenever she wants. Does she need to ask your opinion?"
Huo Nanxiao had a rough idea of what was going on, and he asked Huo Xiuyuan, "Why did you go to see Xia Wanwan tonight? I've tried my best to keep her out of the public eye. She's sick, why do you have to humiliate her like this?"
Huo Xiuyuan laughed in exasperation: "Why? Don't you understand?"
“After she recovers, I will give her some money so she can leave,” Huo Nanxiao said.
Huo Xiuyuan sneered: "Is it as simple as just giving a sum of money? I'm your father, do you think I don't know what you're thinking? How could you possibly let Xia Wanwan leave? Once she recovers, you can't wait to bring her home to have children."
“If you can’t bear to teach her a lesson, I, as her father, will do it for you. I also want to see how long Xia Wanwan can keep up her tough act. If she had any shame at all, she would know when to back down.”
Huo Nanxiao: "You're forcing her to die."
"Heh, let her die if she wants. It's good that she's dead. Let Ning Xi bring the child back to live here, and she won't have to be influenced by that vixen."
Huo Xiuyuan didn't care whether Xia Wanwan lived or died.
For Huo Xiuyuan, Xia Wanwan's death might not be a bad thing. At least Huo Nanxiao wouldn't be swayed by this liar, and the Huo family wouldn't be dragged into a media storm because of this shameless woman.
She wanted to climb over the Huo family to become someone of high status, but how could Huo Xiuyuan let her live a carefree life?
Huo Nanxiao was very angry: "I'm the one who's going to protect Xia Wanwan. If you have any complaints, you can take them out on me."
"Heh, why would I go after you? The one who did wrong is Xia Wanwan, not you. Since she likes to lie so much, I'll make her pay the price. I want to see how long you can protect her." Huo Xiuyuan didn't care what Huo Nanxiao thought.
It's a fact that he looks down on Xia Wanwan, and it's entirely possible that he would allow Xia Wanwan to enter the Huo family.
Huo Xiuyuan had never wanted to vent his anger on Huo Nanxiao, but Huo Nanxiao was, after all, his son. Even if Huo Xiuyuan was angry, he could not actually kill Huo Nanxiao.
Moreover, this matter was not Huo Nanxiao's fault. It was Xia Wanwan who shamelessly clung to Huo Nanxiao and refused to let go. Huo Xiuyuan did what he was too ashamed to do.
Seeing Huo Nanxiao angry for Xia Wanwan, Huo Xiuyuan snorted coldly: "If you came back tonight to stand up for Xia Wanwan, then I advise you to take back what you said. You know my temper. I've already given you a lot of face by not laying a hand on her."
His words were full of warnings.
Huo Nanxiao suppressed his anger.
Almost simultaneously, a phone call came in, breaking the stalemate between the father and son.
Huo Nanxiao impatiently took out his phone and saw that it was Xia Luoluo calling. He was very annoyed, but for some reason, he felt a little uneasy and answered the call.
"Young Master Huo, my sister committed suicide." Xia Luoluo cried out.
Huo Nanxiao: "What did you say?"
"My sister committed suicide today after being humiliated by Master Huo. Please come and see her one last time, I beg you," Xia Luoluo pleaded humbly.
Huo Nanxiao's expression changed drastically. He glared angrily at Huo Xiuyuan, said nothing, and quickly left.
They heard Xia Luoluo's voice, and Huo Xiuyuan was also wondering why Xia Wanwan would commit suicide out of the blue.
"Let's go see what she's up to," Huo Xiuyuan said to Xia Ningxi.
Huo Nanxiao walked very fast, speeding along in his car, showing that he cared a lot about Xia Wanwan's situation.
Xia Ningxi could only obediently follow behind Huo Nanxiao. When they arrived at the Xia family home, the ambulance had not yet arrived. Xia Wanwan was lying in the bathroom of the room, her wrist was cut, and the water in the bathtub was stained bright red with her blood.
Blood slowly spread from her wrist, next to which lay a suicide note written by Xia Wanwan herself.
Huo Xiuyuan was also greatly shocked by what he saw.
"She really committed suicide?" Huo Xiuyuan thought this was just another act by Xia Wanwan.
Zhou Fenglin cried and demanded, "Are you satisfied now that you've killed my daughter? Huo Xiuyuan, you have to give me an explanation!"
Huo Xiuyuan's expression was solemn.
Seeing that they were just crying there, Huo Nanxiao asked, "Did you call an ambulance?"
"I called for an ambulance, but there's a traffic jam, and it still hasn't arrived," Zhou Fenglin said, crying.
Huo Nanxiao rushed to the bathtub and pulled Xia Wanwan out of the blood-soaked water. Her breathing was very weak, and blood was still flowing from her hands, which Huo Nanxiao could not stop no matter how hard he tried.
He looked at Xia Ningxi with anguish: "Save her!"
