Chapter 44 The Only Lawfully Married Wife
Zhou Fenglin knew all too well what had happened back then.
"The doctors at the hospital clearly issued a death certificate back then, Xia Ningxi is clearly dead! Luo Luo, you're not lying to me, are you? You can't just lie about this kind of thing, it'll scare you to death!"
Zhou Fenglin still held onto a sliver of hope.
Xia Luoluo's mind was filled with Xia Ningxi's face, so clear that she couldn't shake it off. "Mom, I'm not lying to you. That person is Xia Ningxi. Not only did she come back, but she also changed her identity and appeared by Huo Yuan's side, staying by his side all this time."
"Mom, I'm scared. I've worked so hard all these years to raise Huo Yuan. How could she come back alive? How could she still be alive!"
Xia Luoluo broke down!
She was afraid that Xia Ningxi would steal Huo Yuan away. What should she do if that happened?
Is she really going to stand by and watch Xia Ningxi destroy everything she has painstakingly built up over the years?
She was not willing to accept it!
Looking at the mess on the floor, Xia Luoluo grabbed Zhou Fenglin's hand with trembling hands and asked in a trembling voice, "Mom, what should I do?"
Zhou Fenglin struggled to recover from his fear: "Huo Yuan is the only bargaining chip we have in our hands, and we must hold onto him tightly."
“But Huo Nanxiao no longer allows me to get close to Huo Yuan,” Xia Luoluo replied.
Zhou Fenglin said, "Go make something to eat, I'll go to the hospital with you. I want to see if Huo Nanxiao will give me, his mother-in-law, any face."
Charlotte quickly prepared a very sumptuous dinner.
The two had just arrived at the hospital when they incurred Lu Qi's displeasure.
Lu Qi raised an eyebrow: "Miss Xia, if I remember correctly, Young Master Huo doesn't allow you to come to the hospital. What are you doing here today?"
Zhou Fenglin said, "I am Huo Yuan's maternal grandmother. Can't even I see Huo Yuan?"
"No." Lu Qi refused outright, refusing to let anyone in.
Zhou Fenglin was furious: "How dare you!"
Lu Qi shrugged indifferently: "This is Young Master Huo's idea. If you two have any opinions about Young Master Huo, you can go and argue with him directly. However, he doesn't want to see you right now. He's very busy and doesn't have time to see you."
Zhou Fenglin's expression was even worse than if he had swallowed a fly.
Xia Luoluo, who was standing to the side, was also very anxious. She looked at her mother.
Zhou Fenglin wasn't one to give up so easily. She said, "Huo Yuan has been away from the Xia family for so many days, and I'm very worried about him. I know Young Master Huo cares about Huo Yuan, but you can't just falsely accuse someone like this without any reason, can you?"
"Whether you've been wronged or not, you know the truth in your hearts," Chen Qi said.
Zhou Fenglin said with a stern face: "Young Master Huo would rather believe outsiders than those of us who raised Huo Yuan. Isn't he afraid of wronging innocent people?"
"Over the years, our Xia family has taken care of Huo Yuan with all our heart. What have we lacked from him? How could Young Master Huo believe a woman of unknown origin and not believe us? Who in the entire capital city doesn't know that our Xia family has been devoted to Huo Yuan? Just because of a woman, Young Master Huo wants to punish the entire Xia family. He's gone too far!"
Zhou Fenglin deliberately raised his voice, as if he wanted everyone in the hospital to come and watch the spectacle.
The doctors and nurses in the department had already packed up and were ready to leave work, but when they heard that Zhou Fenglin had come to cause trouble, they couldn't help but stick their heads out to see what was going on.
Someone asked, "What exactly happened? The Huo family seems to be in a lot of trouble lately."
Su Huixue replied, "Is that even a question? Aren't all these problems caused by Dr. Xia?"
The man asked in confusion, "What does this have to do with Dr. Xia?"
Sun Yikui interjected, "Dr. Xia has such a big face. In order to take care of Huo Yuan herself, she actually doesn't allow the Xia family to visit him. The Xia family raised Huo Yuan with their own hands. How could they possibly swallow this insult? They're here to cause trouble for Dr. Xia now, aren't they? She's an outsider, yet she's overstepping her bounds."
Su Huixue sneered: "A person who gets ahead by relying on men must have some tricks up her sleeve. I think this Dr. Xia is quite shrewd. She just got involved with Young Master Huo, and then she managed to snatch someone else's son. What a cunning person."
Everyone frowned upon hearing this.
Recently, Xia Ningxi's reputation has plummeted in the hospital. Yesterday, there were rumors that the two were having an inappropriate relationship in the ward. Today, Xia Ningxi changed into an outfit worth tens of thousands of yuan and went shopping with Huo Nanxiao. She also bought so many clothes for Huo Yuan.
Anyone could see that Xia Ningxi was deliberately trying to please the father and son.
No wonder the Xia family was so angry.
The colleagues watching the drama whispered among themselves: "Isn't Dr. Xia overestimating herself? Xia Wanwan is the number one socialite in the capital. What does she have to compare with her? Is it just her flirtatiousness in bed?"
Su Huixue sneered: "Who knows?"
Sun Yikui sneered: "Mistresses always have some skills. I heard that Dr. Xia was very open-minded when she was abroad, so she must be very skilled. Otherwise, why would Young Master Huo like her?"
Everyone's face turned red.
As more people discussed it, some of their comments inevitably reached Xia Luoluo's ears.
As she listened to the crowd's discussion, her fists clenched tighter and tighter beside her.
Lu Qi also heard these words and said sternly, "What nonsense are you talking about?"
The group of people who were scolded ran away immediately.
Su Huixue scoffed dismissively: "If you dare to do it, why are you afraid of what people will say?"
Lu Qi gritted his teeth in anger, "What do you people know? Try talking nonsense again!"
Su Huixue rolled her eyes and left.
Sun Yikui followed along eagerly, speaking ill of Xia Ningxi.
Lu Qi vaguely heard some of it, and his stomach was burning with rage!
What do these people know?
Is the person in the ward just an ordinary doctor? That's Xia Ningxi! Their young mistress!
What seduction?
Climb onto the bed?
The eldest young mistress doesn't need to do this kind of thing at all, okay?
She was Huo Shao's only lawfully wedded wife!
This is infuriating!
Lu Qi just wanted to curse.
Seeing that he had time to argue with others but refused to let them in, Zhou Fenglin said, "Lu Qi, do you have a problem with the Xia family? Or did Dr. Xia give you some benefits?"
Lu Qi, his face dark with anger after being smeared with filth, said, "Do I have to spell it out for you? Young Master Huo doesn't want to see anyone from the Xia family at all. If you have any self-awareness, you should leave on your own."
Zhou Fenglin's face turned deathly pale.
Xia Luoluo felt guilty. She wondered if Huo Yuan, that little bastard, had complained again, which was why Huo Nanxiao was so angry.
Xia Luoluo was a little guilty, so when she heard Lu Qi say that, she had no choice but to give in: "Okay, then I won't go in. This is dinner that I spent a whole day preparing for Huo Yuan. It's all his favorite flavors."
Lu Qi glanced at it, took the food box, turned around, entered the ward, and closed the door.
Zhou Fenglin, his face green, demanded, "Luo Luo, what are you doing?"
"Mom, I'm the one who raised Huo Yuan. When Young Master Huo sees the food box I prepared, he'll definitely remember how good I was to Huo Yuan. Let's wait patiently." Xia Luoluo was gambling.
She gambled that Huo Yuan still depended on her, and that Huo Nanxiao wouldn't hold a grudge against the entire Xia family for the sake of a murderer.
After all, in terms of public opinion and reputation, Xia Luoluo is much better than Xia Ningxi.
Everyone knows that Xia Ningxi is a troublemaker, while Xia Luoluo has taken good care of Huo Yuan all these years, which has been seen by everyone in the capital. Is she really not as good as that scumbag Xia Ningxi?
