Chapter 408 Fanning the Flames
Outside the door, Zhou Fenglin was still pounding on the door excitedly, his sharp and anxious voice failing to bring Xia Wanwan back to her senses.
Xia Wanwan sat blankly in her wheelchair, her eyes bloodshot. She stared blankly at the computer screen, where photos of her two children were prominently displayed.
Ironically, Xia Wanwan couldn't find any information about this while she was in the hospital.
It seems that Huo Nanxiao deliberately concealed all of this. If Xia Wanwan hadn't known some media outlets and paparazzi and knew that they always liked to report the truth, she really wouldn't have been able to find out about this information.
Even so, Xia Wanwan still harbored a sliver of doubt in her heart, and she dialed Fu Xiyu's number.
"Wanwan?" Fu Xiyu was clearly pleased when he received her call.
Xia Wanwan said, "Xiyu, I want to ask you something."
"What is it?" Fu Xiyu asked.
Xia Wanwan said, "What happened outside during the years I was recuperating?"
"Why are you suddenly asking this out of the blue?" Fu Xiyu asked, somewhat wary.
Xia Wanwan asked, "Are those two children Nan Xiao's biological sons?"
Upon hearing this, Fu Xiyu was surprised. He thought Huo Nanxiao would suppress the matter and not let Xia Wanwan know, but judging from Xia Wanwan's appearance, she seemed to have already noticed, otherwise she wouldn't have called him personally to inquire.
“Ask Nan Xiao about this,” Fu Xiyu refused to answer the question.
Xia Wanwan said, "If I could get the answer from him, I wouldn't have asked that question."
Fu Xiyu said, "I've been busy with company matters lately and haven't paid much attention to the outside world. I don't know much about Nan Xiao's situation either."
"You two are such good friends, how could you not know?" Xia Wanwan said in disbelief.
Fu Xiyu said, "I really don't care about Nan Xiao's affairs. If you want to know anything, you can ask him yourself. I think he will definitely tell you."
“I feel like he’s hiding something from me,” Xia Wanwan said.
Fu Xiyu immediately understood.
Huo Nanxiao's secret marriage was unknown to outsiders, but Xia Wanwan had already moved into Huo Nanxiao's house, which many people knew. Xia Wanwan must have sensed something was amiss to ask such a question.
However, Fu Xiyu did not intend to tell Xia Wanwan about this, because he knew that Xia Wanwan would definitely not be able to accept this fact.
Fu Xiyu said, "You should ask Nan Xiao about this yourself; I don't know the details either."
"Xi Yu, are you really unwilling to tell me?" Xia Wanwan asked very seriously.
Fu Xiyu said, "I really don't know much about Nan Xiao's matter. He hasn't brought it up with me. If he doesn't want to tell you, then don't investigate anymore. Just stay home and rest. I'll come to see you tonight."
Xia Wanwan was very disappointed when she didn't get the answer she wanted.
She hung up the phone and leaned back in her chair silently.
"Wanwan, what are you doing in there? Open the door!" Zhou Fenglin was banging on the door frantically from the outside, his sharp voice was very piercing.
Xia Wanwan did not answer, and no matter how the people outside called out to her, she did not respond.
This infuriated Zhou Fenglin. She had someone forcefully kick down the door to open it. Seeing Xia Wanwan sitting motionless in front of the computer, Zhou Fenglin angrily questioned, "What are you doing? How long have I been calling you!"
Xia Wanwan forced a smile: "What does Mother want with me?"
"Why did you lock the door?" Zhou Fenglin questioned.
Xia Wanwan said, "I want to be alone to calm down."
"What's there to be calm about? Are you stupid? I just suggested that you go to the Huo family to recuperate, why didn't you agree?" Zhou Fenglin scolded.
Xia Wanwan said, "My relationship with Nan Xiao hasn't reached the point where I went to his house to recuperate."
“You ended up like this because you tried to save him. Why can’t you go to the Huo family to recuperate? If you don’t go, wouldn’t that benefit others?” Zhou Fenglin said angrily.
Xia Wanwan sensed something was wrong and asked, "Who benefited?"
"Don't worry about all that. In short, you have to move into the Huo family. Now everyone in the capital knows that you will marry into the Huo family and become the eldest daughter-in-law of the Huo family. It's not strange that you're moving into the Huo family now, and outsiders won't say anything about you."
Call Huo Nanxiao tonight and tell him you're uncomfortable and scared at home, and want to stay with him. He says you gave him his life, and he can't possibly refuse you.
Zhou Fenglin had already planned everything. As soon as Xia Wanwan moved into the Huo family's home, she would immediately bribe the media to report on it, putting the Huo family in a difficult position. Then, they would have no chance to get rid of Xia Wanwan.
Once Xia Wanwan successfully marries into the Huo family, let's see who dares to laugh at her!
However, Xia Wanwan did not want to listen to Zhou Fenglin's advice. She refused without hesitation: "I don't want to go to Nan Xiao, and I don't want to move into the Huo family."
"Are you stupid? Why don't you go? The Huo family is the number one wealthy family in the capital. Countless people dream of climbing the social ladder by marrying into the Huo family. Have you lost your mind?" Zhou Fenglin exploded and said angrily.
Xia Wanwan looked up at him and answered very seriously, "Will the Huo family really welcome me?"
"Who cares whether they welcome us or not?" Zhou Fenglin didn't want to concern himself with that.
Xia Wanwan said, "I don't want to become someone that everyone hates, so please don't mention sending me to the Huo family to recuperate again."
Zhou Fenglin was furious and cursed, "I think you've gone mad! Let me tell you, whether you like it or not, you have to move into the Huo family. Only in this way can you keep your position. I'll let you rest well today, and tomorrow you can call Huo Nanxiao and ask him to come and pick you up."
Zhou Fenglin turned and left.
Xia Wanwan watched Zhou Fenglin's departing figure, her eyes slightly red. She leaned back in her wheelchair, staring blankly at the ceiling.
Ta-da!
Two crisp footsteps came from outside the door.
Xia Wanwan turned around, "Luo Luo, what happened to your face?"
Xia Luoluo's face was covered with a white veil, as if she was injured. She walked in and said, "Sister, I'm a little injured, but I'm fine."
"How did you get hurt on your face?" Xia Wanwan asked with great concern.
Charlotte said, "I accidentally scratched myself, and the doctor is already treating me with the best medicine, so you don't need to worry, sister."
Xia Wanwan breathed a sigh of relief: "That's good."
"What are you arguing about with Mother, Sister? I just saw her storm off, she seemed really angry," Xia Luoluo asked curiously.
Xia Wanwan said, "My mother wants me to go to the Huo family to recuperate."
A flicker of jealousy flashed in Xia Luoluo's eyes: "Did Young Master Huo agree?"
Xia Wanwan shook her head: "I didn't ask because I rejected my mother's suggestion. After all, Nan Xiao and I are just friends. It wouldn't be appropriate for us to move into the Huo family's house so abruptly."
“Xia Ningxi is now living with Young Master Huo, so it’s not appropriate for my sister to go to the Huo family to recuperate,” Xia Luoluo said.
"What did you say? They live together?"
Xia Wanwan's face was deathly pale.
"Sister, you don't know about this?" Xia Luoluo feigned surprise: "Young Master Huo should have told you about it."
Xia Wanwan replied, "He didn't tell me anything, he just told me to take good care of myself. Luo Luo, do you know something?"
"Young Master Huo didn't tell my sister? Then I can't tell her either. What if Young Master Huo finds out that I told him and gets angry?" Xia Luoluo was very scared.
Xia Wanwan: "Don't worry, I won't tell anyone. Just tell me about Nan Xiao and Ning Xi."
Xia Luoluo said, "Sister, please don't be angry when I tell you."
"Yes, you just need to tell me everything in detail." Xia Wanwan said very seriously.
Xia Luoluo said, "Xia Ningxi has already moved into the Huo family and has now gained Huo Xiuyuan's approval."
"She's living with Nan Xiao?" Xia Wanwan's expression changed drastically.
Xia Luoluo nodded: "That's right, they're already living together."
"Why didn't Nan Xiao tell me! Can you believe what you're saying?" Xia Wanwan was very agitated.
Charlotte said, "He's afraid you'll worry, so of course he won't tell you."
"Was Nan Xiao's decision voluntary? Or were they already together?" Xia Wanwan pressed.
Xia Luoluo said, "Of course it wasn't voluntary. Xia Ningxi knows the top medical team abroad and used her sister as leverage to force Huo Shao to accept her. In order to save his sister, Huo Shao had no choice but to bring Xia Ningxi back to the Huo family to live together. This Xia Ningxi is extremely vicious. She is determined to usurp her sister's position and become the eldest daughter-in-law of the Huo family."
Xia Wanwan frowned: "What about Huo Yuan and Xingxing? I heard that these two children are Nan Xiao's biological children."
"That was also a child that Xia Ningxi had schemed to have with Huo Shao. Huo Shao was furious at the time, so he took the child away and gave her to his sister's family. But he didn't expect that Xia Ningxi had a trick up her sleeve. She was pregnant with twins. She secretly hid Xia Xingxing and threatened the Huo family to accept her."
"Young Master Huo has long hated Xia Ningxi to the bone. If it weren't for you, Sister, he would have kicked Xia Ningxi out of the Imperial City long ago. Sister, you absolutely cannot let Xia Ningxi take your position."
I think Mother is right. You should go to the Huo family to recuperate and find a way to get rid of Xia Ningxi.
Xia Luoluo spoke softly, every word coming from her mouth was very gentle, but no one knew that Xia Luoluo had already laid out a plan in her heart.
Xia Wanwan was unaware of Xia Luoluo's thoughts. She was shocked by Xia Luoluo's words and never expected Xia Ningxi to be this kind of person!
"How could Ning Xi have become like this?"
"She wasn't like this before. How could she use me to blackmail Nan Xiao!"
"She's really gone too far! I didn't even know Ning Xi was this kind of person until you told me!"
Xia Wanwan was very angry.
Xia Luoluo said, "It's normal that my sister doesn't understand things since she just woke up. But you can't say these things outside, because the doctors who treated you were all found by Xia Ningxi. If they hear this, they might secretly drug you and harm you."
"I understand, I'll be more careful." Xia Wanwan took a big gulp of hot water, still feeling uneasy, completely unaware that Xia Luoluo had secretly switched her medicine while she was speaking.
