Chapter 516 Nowhere to Cry
Fu Mingyan was extremely anxious at the Huo family's house, not knowing what had happened. Anyway, Xia Ningxi had come out, so she couldn't be bothered to care.
She sat in Li Yancheng's car, and perhaps because the man's car was too ostentatious, it attracted the attention of many passersby, who craned their necks to look, seemingly trying to see who was sitting in the car.
Xia Ningxi said, "Could you close the convertible top?"
"What? Don't you like the wind?" Li Yancheng asked with interest.
Xia Ningxi said, "Your car is too flashy; people keep turning their heads to look at it."
"What's so strange about that? I drive such a nice car just to show off to them, isn't it?" Li Yancheng's tone was lazy, and he didn't think there was anything to be ostentatious about. He even snorted disdainfully when he saw Xia Ningxi trying to cover her face.
"If you don't let others see you now, are you going to wait until you're on the front page of the news to let them see you? At that time, everyone will just laugh at you."
He deliberately stabbed Xia Ningxi in the heart.
It's a mess outside right now; everyone's talking about Xia Wanwan.
Overnight, Xia Wanwan went from being an ugly duckling despised by everyone and a third party who interfered in other people's relationships to Huo Nanxiao's savior!
Those who used to look down on Xia Wanwan and thought she was shameless have now completely changed their attitude towards her; it's almost a 180-degree turn.
After Xia Wanwan's affair was exposed, Xia Ningxi was not spared either, and many people also found out about her past.
Li Yancheng said, "Now everyone knows that you were the one who took advantage of the situation. If Xia Wanwan hadn't become a vegetable back then, you wouldn't have had the chance to marry Huo Nanxiao, let alone have children for him. Everything you did was just paving the way for Xia Wanwan in that man's eyes."
Now, people outside know what you've done, but they don't know what they're talking about behind your back. You really can't survive in this capital city anymore.
His voice was soft and languid, almost too pleasant to hear, yet every word he uttered caused Xia Ningxi heartache.
There is no such thing as having it all in this world.
Ultimately, one of them, Xia Wanwan, has to take responsibility for what happened back then.
But Xia Ningxi had long forgotten everything; she couldn't remember what had happened back then at all.
"Li Yancheng, you clearly know everything, so why won't you tell me what exactly happened back then?" Xia Ningxi questioned.
The man's hand gripped the steering wheel, his slender index finger tapping it casually. A playful smile tugged at the corner of his lips. "What's the point of knowing so much? Even if you knew everything from back then, it wouldn't change Huo Nanxiao's decision to choose Xia Wanwan. Or do you think that just remembering everything from back then will make Huo Nanxiao choose you again? Does he even have feelings for you?"
Xia Ningxi was stumped by the question.
She didn't know if Huo Nanxiao had feelings for her.
However, she knew very well that she could never harm anyone, and she didn't want to carry this burden for the rest of her life.
"Can you tell me everything?" She tugged at Li Yancheng's sleeve, her clear eyes shining brightly; she really wanted to know the answer.
And Li Yancheng...
He turned his head lightly, glanced at Xia Ningxi's small hand clinging to his, and smiled slightly: "That's easy. You stay with me and ask around. With your intelligence and talent, you should be able to find out about what happened back then very quickly."
Xia Ningxi's beautiful face instantly darkened, and she pinched Li Yancheng fiercely.
"Damn it, are you trying to kill someone?" Li Yancheng's expression changed.
Xia Ningxi said, "If you talk nonsense again next time, I'll make you mute."
"Tsk, if you're so capable, why don't you go and get back at Huo Nanxiao? He's the one who doesn't want you, not me. Why are you getting so angry with me?"
"Besides, Huo Nanxiao will marry Xia Wanwan sooner or later anyway, and you, his wife who has been through thick and thin, are destined to be abandoned. Now that you're with me, you can still live a life of honor and glory. Outsiders won't dare to say a bad word about you because of me. But if you choose someone else, it will be different. In the current capital city, the only person who can stand on equal footing with Huo Nanxiao is me."
Li Yancheng is very narcissistic.
In his view, he was Xia Ningxi's only choice.
If Xia Ningxi had any sense at all, she should know what choice she should make.
Although the Li family's influence in the capital city is not as great as the Huo family's, their business overseas is very large, not much less than Huo Nanxiao's.
Anyone would choose to be with Li Yancheng without hesitation, right?
But Xia Ningxi is an exception.
When Li Yancheng made this suggestion in a very serious manner, Xia Ningxi looked at him as if he were an idiot.
"Don't even think about it," Xia Ningxi replied fiercely.
Li Yancheng: "Think it over carefully."
"If I really choose you, who knows, one day you might throw me to feed the fish," Xia Ningxi said.
Li Yancheng thought about it carefully: "That's quite possible. However, as long as you behave, I probably won't make things difficult for you."
Xia Ningxi's pretty face instantly darkened; she really didn't know what to say about this bastard.
Sure enough, none of the people who grew up with Huo Nanxiao were good people, and this guy was no exception.
Xia Ningxi ignored him and turned to look out the car window.
The bustling streets were filled with cars and people, and vehicles hurried by, only to flash past Xia Ningxi's eyes and quickly disappear from her sight, just like her life. Things that do not belong to her will one day leave her.
Was Huo Nanxiao the same?
Even though they were already married and had children, what doesn't belong to her, she couldn't keep no matter how hard she tried...
A black Bugatti stopped in front of a very luxurious manor. The magnificent gate showed the man's extravagance. Led by Li Yancheng, Xia Ningxi entered his private manor.
Yao Qing saw Li Yancheng from afar and quickly ran forward: "Young Master Li, you're finally back."
"How is it?" Li Yancheng asked.
Yao Qing said, "He is very ill."
Li Yancheng said to Xia Ningxi, "Did you hear that? Once you're cured, I'll give you a clue."
"Can't you just say it directly?" Xia Ningxi gritted her teeth. This guy had been deliberately keeping her hanging like this before.
Li Yancheng replied with interest, "Why should I tell you? Before you can get what you want from me, you must first prove your ability."
Xia Ningxi suppressed her anger. She was furious, but thinking about how wicked this guy was, she knew there was nothing she could do even if she was angry. In the end, Xia Ningxi held back and said, "Where is he? Let me see."
Yao Qing pointed to the golden kitten in the living room, "There it is."
Xia Ningxi immediately exploded when she saw the kitten's pitiful little face: "Li Yancheng, I'm a doctor, not a veterinarian!"
"Is there a difference?" Li Yancheng asked, raising an eyebrow.
Xia Ningxi was trembling with anger: "There's a huge difference! What do you take me for!"
"As long as he's a doctor, that's fine." Li Yancheng said with an indifferent attitude.
Xia Ningxi was so angry she felt like her lungs were about to explode.
This guy messaged her early in the morning, saying there was an extremely urgent matter, a precious life waiting for her to save, and only she could save it. Xia Ningxi didn't want a living person to just disappear like that. Only after Li Yancheng promised to reveal some things from back then did Xia Ningxi agree to come to Li Yancheng's house with him.
But……
Xia Ningxi was really angry when she saw the kitten.
Veterinarians and doctors are different!
That bastard...
Suppressing her anger, Xia Ningxi walked into his private estate with a dark expression.
After picking up the furry little guy from the ground and checking him over, I found that he was in good spirits. The reason he kept vomiting was because he was licking his fur too much. I gave him some hairball remedy, and he would be fine once he passed the hairball. It wasn't anything serious.
Xia Ningxi quickly stabilized the kitten's condition.
She stared at Li Yancheng with a sinister look and said, "Can you tell me what you promised me before?"
Li Yancheng glanced at the little guy who had scurried back into his cat bed, then slowly looked away and said, "Investigate Xia Luoluo. This whole mess is all her doing."
"Xia Luoluo?" Xia Ningxi was surprised.
Li Yancheng said, "Do you think Xia Wanwan is the only living person in the Xia family?"
One sentence stumped Xia Ningxi.
Over the years, she has been thinking about what exactly happened back then and why she has no recollection of it at all.
When Xia Wanwan woke up and learned that she couldn't remember anything, Xia Ningxi was very disappointed. She even suspected that Xia Wanwan was pretending to be stupid. But as a doctor, she knew that Xia Wanwan's craniotomy would have various aftereffects and that she might really have forgotten everything from back then.
But if it wasn't Xia Ningxi who harmed Xia Wanwan, then who was it?
"You mean Xia Luoluo did all of this?" Xia Ningxi questioned.
Li Yancheng said, "I just find this woman suspicious."
"Can you finish what you've said all at once? Is it really just as simple as suspicious? Do you have any concrete evidence?" Xia Ningxi asked.
She also had a very bad impression of Xia Luoluo. After all, this woman dared to harm even Xia Wanwan, so what else wouldn't she do?
By the way, if she dares to harm Xia Wanwan now, what about back then...?
Xia Ningxi's scalp tingled. Recalling everything that happened back then, the only ones who were hurt from beginning to end were her and Xia Wanwan. But what about Xia Luoluo? She was able to remain completely invisible and even gain custody of Huo Yuan. So, in fact, the only one who benefited from the beginning was Xia Luoluo!
"Whoever benefits the most is the most suspicious." Xia Ningxi clenched her fists angrily. She hadn't even thought of investigating Xia Luoluo back then.
She turned to leave.
"Where are you going?" Li Yancheng called out to her.
Xia Ningxi said, "Go check some things."
Li Yancheng sneered: "I can't find out the things, but you can? I advise you to stay here with me obediently. If you run into someone you know outside, they'll throw rotten eggs and vegetable leaves in your face, and you'll have nowhere to cry."
