Chapter 426 Everyone was in an uproar
Xia Ningxi sat calmly opposite the two women, ignoring their words. Her fair hands casually peeled the pine cones on the plate, giving one to Chu Chu and the other to Huo Yuan.
Seeing Xia Ningxi's composure, Song Yan asked, "Xia Ningxi, Wanwan is kind and doesn't want to make things difficult for you. There are some things she can't say, so I, as her friend, will say them for her. Your presence has already affected her. I hope you can stay away from Huo Shao."
"No matter what despicable means you used to have a few children with Young Master Huo, that's all in the past. If you had any self-awareness, you should have left instead of shamelessly staying by Young Master Huo's side like this."
Song Yan spoke in a tone that sounded like she was lecturing a third party, her arrogant attitude and disdain written all over her face.
"Mommy, who is this woman? Does she also want to marry Uncle Huo?" Chu Chu asked in her childish voice.
Xia Ningxi smiled and said, "Probably."
Song Yan got angry: "Xia Ningxi, when did you ever say you wanted to marry Young Master Huo? I told you to stay away from Young Master Huo, can't you understand human language?"
"Auntie, do you live by the sea? Why are you so nosy? Who do you think you are?" The sweet and adorable Chu Chu retorted directly.
She grabbed Huo Yuan's arm, her chin held high in a haughty manner: "We're going to live in the Huo family, is it any of your business? Brother Huo Yuan will be the one to inherit the Huo family's wealth in the future, so watch your words."
Song Yan sneered: "Huo Yuan is registered under Wanwan's name. To put it bluntly, Wanwan is Huo Yuan's legal guardian. Young Master Huo loves Wanwan, so everything in the Huo family in the future will naturally belong to Wanwan. What does it have to do with you and your daughter?"
"You're wrong. Brother Huo Yuan belongs to my mommy alone. No one can take him away. Besides, Grandpa Huo said he wouldn't allow Xia Wanwan to enter the Huo family. If Uncle Huo dares to do that, he'll kick Uncle Huo out of the house. Then Uncle Huo will become penniless, and all his money will belong to us."
Chu Chu's smile was especially sweet.
The little guy doesn't care about Huo Nanxiao or anything like that at all!
Xiao Chuchu's mind was filled with Huo Nanxiao's assets and all that money he could never spend.
If Huo Nanxiao really goes against Huo Xiuyuan, he might get beaten to death. If he does, then Brother Huo Yuan will become a billionaire!
Brother Huo Yuan will definitely give Chu Chu lots and lots of money to spend!
The more the little girl thought about it, the more excited she became!
But she didn't notice that when she said, "Huo Xiuyuan will not allow Xia Wanwan to enter the Huo family," a barely perceptible pallor flashed across Xia Wanwan's haggard face.
At this moment, Huo Yuan also stated: "My mother is Xia Ningxi, and I only recognize her as my mother. Auntie, are you dissatisfied with my mother or with me? Do you want to kick me out of the Huo family as well? If so, then I will tell my father and see if he has the same idea as you."
The little guy's face clearly showed anger.
Song Yan was speechless after being choked by Huo Yuan's words.
After realizing that something was wrong, Xia Wanwan immediately apologized on Song Yan's behalf: "Ning Xi, I'm sorry. Song Yan didn't mean what she said just now. Please don't take it to heart."
Xia Ningxi smiled slightly: "Sister Wanwan, don't take the children's words to heart. After all, these are the words of Grandpa Huo. The children don't understand anything and are just imitating what he says."
Xia Wanwan bit her lip, feeling very sad, but she still tried to pretend that she didn't care. "It's okay, I won't take the children's innocent words to heart. It's a bit stuffy here, I want to go out for some fresh air, so I'll go first."
Her eyes betrayed her disappointment, yet she maintained a facade of strength.
Song Yan wanted to speak up for Xia Wanwan, but Xia Wanwan pulled her back.
"Take me out." Xia Wanwan's voice was a little hoarse; she wanted to leave this place as soon as possible.
Song Yan could only swallow her anger and push Xia Wanwan's wheelchair away.
Outside the coffee shop, Song Yan questioned, "Wanwan, why did you leave? Didn't you see Xia Ningxi's attitude just now? It's obvious she wants to take over the position of the eldest daughter-in-law of the Huo family. You were in a coma for so many years to save Huo Nanxiao, so you should marry into the Huo family and enjoy wealth and luxury. What did her child mean by those words?"
"Alright, Song Yan, the children aren't wrong. No matter what, A Yuan is Ning Xi's child. I can't just let them be separated, can I?" Xia Wanwan's voice was a little hoarse.
Song Yan said, "Since Young Master Huo has already given the child to you, then Huo Yuan is your child."
“But A Yuan isn’t an object; he’s a living, breathing person. I have no feelings for him. It’s normal for him to choose his own mother. How can I take the child from Ning Xi?” Xia Wanwan forced a smile.
Song Yan said, "But Old Master Huo is obviously someone who is eager to have a grandson. With your current physical condition, how can you have a child for Young Master Huo? If you don't have a child to rely on, Old Master Huo may not let you into the Huo family. In the end, someone else might benefit from it."
Xia Wanwan said she didn't want to care about these things, but when she really thought about Xia Ningxi and Huo Nanxiao having a child, it was impossible for her not to care. Her heart ached more than anyone else's, but what could she do?
This matter is now a foregone conclusion.
Xia Ningxi gave birth to several children for Huo Nanxiao and was favored by the elders of the Huo family.
Looking at herself, she had been in a coma for so many years, completely unaware of what was happening in the outside world. She had finally woken up, only to find that Huo Nanxiao had a child with someone else.
She was so sad that she kept crying.
At that moment, several grown men in a private room at the coffee shop were discussing work. Their windows offered a view of the scenery outside, and they also saw Xia Wanwan crying with her head down, much to their surprise.
"What's wrong with Xia Wanwan?" Ji Feibai asked.
Fu Xiyu said, "Nan Xiao, go out and see what's wrong with her."
"Let's finish our business first." Huo Nanxiao didn't intend to check on Xia Wanwan's condition.
Fu Xiyu said, "Wanwan wouldn't suddenly cry. She might have been wronged. Go check on her first. I'll discuss the rest with Feibai and then tell you."
Ji Feibai said, "Xia Ningxi is outside too, right? It doesn't seem appropriate to have Nan Xiao looking after Xia Wanwan at this time."
"What's wrong with it?" Fu Xiyu asked back.
Ji Feibai said, "I don't think anywhere is suitable. But Song Yan is here with us, so nothing serious will happen."
Fu Xiyu turned around and glanced at Ji Feibai.
"Why are you looking at me like that? I didn't say anything wrong. Let's get back to our previous topic. I think that project is excellent, but it's very difficult to implement..."
Ji Feibai pulled Huo Nanxiao to continue their previous discussion. Fu Xiyu frowned, somewhat unhappy, but since Huo Nanxiao wouldn't leave, he, as an outsider, couldn't get too close to Xia Wanwan. So he could only come down and continue their previous conversation, but Fu Xiyu was clearly distracted.
Xia Wanwan stood outside in the wind for quite a while.
Suddenly, a black car stopped in front of Xia Wanwan.
A man in a suit stepped out of the car, walked up to Xia Wanwan, and said with a smile, "Miss Wanwan, it's been a long time."
"Yao Qing? What are you doing here?" Xia Wanwan was very surprised to see Yao Qing.
Yao Qing smiled and said, "I was just passing by with Young Master Li when we happened to run into you. What are you doing, Miss Wanwan?"
"I just came out for some fresh air," Xia Wanwan explained.
Yao Qing said, "That's perfect. Young Master Li is going to take a walk on the Bund. Miss Wanwan, why don't you come along?"
“This…” Xia Wanwan hesitated.
Yao Qing said, "Is Wanwan unwilling to give Young Master Li face?"
"No, no, it's just that Nan Xiao is waiting for me inside. It wouldn't be right for me to leave like this. I'll go back and tell him." Xia Wanwan said, turning around.
Yao Qing said, "Young Master Li has already spoken to Young Master Huo. Young Master Huo will have to take Xia Ningxi and the child home later, so he probably won't have time for you."
When Xia Wanwan heard about Xia Ningxi and the child, her heart sank to the bottom.
“Okay, I’ll go with you.” Xia Wanwan agreed to Li Yancheng’s request to Yao Qing.
Six years have passed since Xia Wanwan fell into a coma. All she knows is that six years ago, Huo Nanxiao and Li Yancheng were very good brothers. At that time, because of Huo Nanxiao, Xia Wanwan had already become close friends with Huo Nanxiao's brothers and knew each other. She didn't know that six years later, Li Yancheng and Huo Nanxiao had become enemies.
With Xia Ningxi and Huo Nanxiao both there, Xia Wanwan felt superfluous. She wanted to leave as soon as possible, so she had no guard against Li Yancheng and got into his car directly.
Song Yan wanted to get in the car with them, but Yao Qing stopped her. She was very angry, but too embarrassed to force herself to go in, so she could only watch helplessly as Li Yancheng left with Xia Wanwan.
Song Yan was too embarrassed to go back, afraid of facing Xia Ningxi awkwardly, so she angrily took a taxi and left.
Xia Ningxi waited with her child in the coffee shop for nearly half an hour before Huo Nanxiao finally led Xia Xingxing out of the private room.
"Daddy!" Huo Yuan ran forward excitedly.
Huo Nanxiao bent down and picked Huo Yuan up in his arms: "Have you been waiting for a long time? Are you tired?"
"I'm tired," Huo Yuan answered truthfully.
Huo Nanxiao said, "I'll take you back now."
"Yay!" Huo Yuan finally broke into a big smile.
Huo Nanxiao glanced around. Apart from Xia Ningxi and a few children, there were only some unfamiliar guests. He didn't see Xia Wanwan or Song Yan. He asked, "Where's Wanwan?"
"I went out," Xia Ningxi answered truthfully.
Huo Nanxiao said, "They didn't come back?"
Xia Ningxi shook her head: "No."
Fu Xiyu asked Ji Feibai, "Did Song Yan send Xia Wanwan back?"
"No way, she didn't drive today, I had to pick her up." Ji Feibai took out his phone: "I'll call Song Yan right now."
They all assumed that Song Yan had taken Xia Wanwan home.
Song Yan directly denied it: "I am not with Wanwan."
"Where did Wanwan go? Weren't you always together?" Ji Feibai asked.
Song Yan said, "Li Yancheng took the person away."
"What did you say!"
Everyone was in an uproar!
