Chapter 546 You Can't Touch Her
Xia Wanwan was left standing there, watching Huo Nanxiao's departing figure, her heart sinking to the bottom.
She gave a bitter smile, her eyes clouded with tears.
“Miss Wanwan, let me take you home,” Lu Qi said.
Xia Wanwan replied, "No, find me a wheelchair, I'll go back by myself."
"Okay." Lu Qi immediately instructed his subordinates to fetch a wheelchair.
Although Xia Wanwan didn't say anything, everyone could tell that she was very sad.
“Young Madam is injured and needs to be taken to the hospital immediately. Miss Wanwan, don’t worry. Since Young Master Huo said he would come to pick you up later, he will definitely do so. You just need to go back to the banquet hall.” Lu Qi comforted her.
I wonder if the use of "young mistress" was intentional.
At this time, calling Xia Ningxi is inappropriate, at least in front of Xia Wanwan.
Xia Wanwan tried to act like she didn't care, but when it came to herself, she found it really hard to pretend she didn't care about anything.
Huo Nanxiao did not return until the engagement banquet ended.
Xia Wenhe and Zhou Fenglin were very dissatisfied with this.
Meanwhile, Huo Nanxiao stayed at the hospital with Xia Ningxi.
Fortunately, Xia Ningxi only fainted due to lack of oxygen, and thankfully she was taken to the hospital in time without any major problems.
Huo Nanxiao walked out of the ward.
Ye Su had been waiting outside the door for a long time when she saw Huo Nanxiao come out.
"Take good care of the young mistress. I'm going out for a bit," Huo Nanxiao ordered.
Ye Su nodded, but remembering that Xia Wanwan hadn't left the banquet hall yet, she asked, "Is the president going back to the banquet hall? Miss Wanwan and the Xia family haven't left."
"Let them go back first, I have things to take care of tonight." Huo Nanxiao said this before leaving in a hurry.
Han Family Manor.
Han Musen had just come out of a private operating room.
The doctor struggled to remove the bullet from his chest, and said, drenched in sweat, "Luckily, the bullet didn't hit his heart, otherwise Young Master Han would have been in danger."
"That bastard did it on purpose," Han Musen cursed.
With red eyes, Han Youling said, "Brother, let's call the police! Let Huo Nanxiao go to jail!"
"Ha, call the police? Are you planning to send yourselves to jail?" Li Yancheng sneered.
Han Youling asked, puzzled, "What does Young Master Li mean by this?"
“If Huo Nanxiao hadn’t been lucky, he and Xia Ningxi would probably have been killed by you, right? If things really escalate, do you really think you can get away unscathed? Don’t forget, you brought the murder weapon. Don’t end up getting arrested instead of Huo Nanxiao.” Li Yancheng said.
Han Youling's beautiful face froze, and she didn't know how to answer for a moment.
Han Musen was also aware of this, so he did not make a big deal out of the matter immediately after being injured.
But the thought of taking a bullet for nothing made him angry again.
"Am I supposed to swallow this insult?" Han Musen asked.
Li Yancheng said, "You deserve it."
"?" Han Musen frowned: "What do you mean!"
Li Yancheng said, "You got off easy by only taking one shot. You should be glad Xia Ningxi didn't die today. If anything had happened to her, the dean and the higher-ups would have sent people to investigate. I warned you before not to touch Xia Ningxi, but it seems you didn't take it to heart at all!"
Han Musen said disdainfully, "What's so untouchable about a mere doctor? And since she's Huo Nanxiao's ex-wife, we can just get rid of her too."
"Didn't you understand what I said? Xia Ningxi, you're not allowed to move." Li Yancheng repeated once more, his voice much colder than before, his entire aura changed, and his attitude became extremely firm.
Han Musen said, "I've noticed you're becoming increasingly sentimental lately! Could it be that you've actually fallen for that woman?"
"I wouldn't say I like her, but you can't touch her," Li Yancheng said.
Han Musen said, "Our plan has been put on hold because of Xia Ningxi. If it weren't for her, Huo Nanxiao would have been eliminated by me long ago. You still have the nerve to protect her. I really don't know what you're thinking."
"Did you waste those years in prison? You committed intentional homicide. Do you not want to spend the rest of your life out of prison?" Li Yancheng retorted.
Han Musen remained silent with a dark expression.
Li Yancheng said, "Huo Nanxiao recently took on a venture capital project, and I've already sent people to keep an eye on it. As long as Yunting Group collapses, Huo Nanxiao will be completely at our mercy. You're too impatient. If Xia Ningxi dies, it won't do you any good."
Han Musen snorted coldly: "You can continue washing."
He realized that Li Yancheng clearly had other feelings for Xia Ningxi.
However, Li Yancheng probably won't admit it.
Having been shot, Han Musen could only stay at home and rest, unable to go anywhere. Even if he wanted to get rid of Huo Nanxiao, he was powerless to do so and could only leave everything to Li Yancheng.
Li Yancheng would naturally not let such a golden opportunity slip by.
Overnight, Yunting Group was placed in the eye of the storm, and Huo Nanxiao also got into big trouble.
Some long-term partners suddenly broke their contracts and refused to continue cooperating with Huo Nanxiao, which dealt an unprecedented blow to Yunting Group.
As for why these people suddenly refused to cooperate with Huo Nanxiao, we have to start with Xia Wanwan.
It's unclear who's spreading the rumor, but Huo Xiuyuan is reportedly severing his father-son relationship with Huo Nanxiao because he's dissatisfied with Xia Wanwan, and the Huo family will be handed over to Huo Jinchuan for management.
As soon as the news broke, everyone in the capital city thought that Huo Nanxiao had been abandoned by the Huo family, and they all flocked to Huo Jinchuan. Naturally, all the cooperation agreements were destroyed, and they signed contracts with Huo Jinchuan instead.
Yunting Group held a high-level meeting regarding this matter.
The higher-ups urged him, "Young Master Huo, such a big thing has happened, we must come up with a solution as soon as possible."
"The old man doesn't like Xia Wanwan. If Huo Shao insists on marrying Xia Wanwan, he will definitely anger the old man, and the whole company will be affected."
"Why don't we just cancel the marriage? We can't really let Xia Wanwan cause you to break ties with the old man, can we?"
"If the vast Huo family were to fall into the hands of Young Master Jinchuan, it would pose a huge threat to us."
The higher-ups all knew this perfectly well and didn't want such a large piece of meat like the Huo family to fall into someone else's hands.
Huo Nanxiao had thought Xia Wanwan would bring him good luck, but he never expected her to be such a jinx.
She caused the Huo family to lose face even before the engagement, and now she's caused Huo Xiuyuan and Huo Nanxiao to break off their relationship. In this light, this woman isn't even as good as Xia Ningxi.
Everyone was frustrated, wondering what Huo Nanxiao was thinking, that he would fall for Xia Wanwan, such a worthless woman.
They suddenly found Xia Ningxi much more pleasing to the eye, at least not as annoying as Xia Wanwan.
All morning, the company's senior management complained, but Huo Nanxiao couldn't be bothered to listen and simply left the meeting room.
Ye Su walked in carrying company documents. "President, eleven companies have already stopped cooperating with us. This has a huge impact. What do you think we should do?"
Huo Nanxiao glanced at the list and said, "Since they are unwilling to cooperate with Yunting Group, then the Huo family should stop doing business."
"Young Master Jinchuan has already contacted the heads of these eleven companies," Ye Su reminded him.
"I still have control of the Huo family. It's too early for Huo Jinchuan to try to seize power now." Huo Nanxiao was surrounded by a chilling aura.
One morning, eleven companies went bankrupt.
This is Huo Nanxiao's warning to everyone!
After finishing his work at the company, Huo Nanxiao went to the hospital.
Xia Ningxi had stayed in the hospital all night and hadn't gone home. When she saw Huo Nanxiao arrive, she immediately sat up in bed, her cheeks flushed, unsure of what to say.
Huo Nanxiao carried lunch to Xia Ningxi and sat down next to her. "I brought some porridge. Have a taste."
"What brings you here?" Xia Ningxi asked softly.
Huo Nanxiao said, "I just finished up with work at the company and came to see you on my way. Are you still feeling unwell?"
"No, I'm fine." Xia Ningxi shook her head.
Huo Nanxiao ladled out a bowl of steaming hot porridge, scooped up a spoonful, blew on it gently, and brought it to Xia Ningxi's lips.
She froze, blinked her big eyes at the man in front of her, and her heart skipped a beat.
