Chapter 667 I already have a family
Xia Ningxi was indeed indirectly criticizing Huo Nanxiao, but she didn't say anything when he looked at her. She ate her meal quietly and even picked up a large goose wing for herself, which she then happily gnawed on.
Seeing that Xia Ningxi had calmed down, Huo Xiuyuan assumed that Zhou Bingchang had been dealt with. He said, "Since you've said so, I won't pursue this matter any further. But if you have any complaints about the Xia family in the future, you must tell me immediately."
"Okay." Xia Ningxi nodded obediently, doing everything she was told.
At this time, Xia Ningxi didn't want any conflict at home because of her and the children. She knew that Huo Xiuyuan loved his grandchildren very much and genuinely wanted to protect them, but if Huo Xiuyuan really severed his father-son relationship with Huo Nanxiao for the sake of the children, he would eventually focus on the children again.
What if Huo Xiuyuan has a mental breakdown and tries to take the child away?
He's getting old now, his son is unreliable, and he has several grandchildren whom he loves very much. He definitely wouldn't want Xia Ningxi to take the child away.
After dinner, Xia Ningxi went to the garden to play with the children, ignoring Huo Nanxiao.
Qu Huilan watched the children chasing and playing in the garden from afar, and then looked at Huo Nanxiao, who was still in the mood to look at company documents. She couldn't help but ask him, "Nanxiao, are you just going to let this go like this? Have you apologized to Ning Xi?"
Huo Nanxiao remained silent and continued working.
Qu Huilan became anxious: "You wouldn't be trying to downplay this because you're worried about Xia Wanwan, would you?"
"Xia Ningxi has already decided not to pursue this matter any further, so you shouldn't ask anymore. Besides, Zhou Bingchang wasn't entirely unpunished," Huo Nanxiao replied.
Qu Huilan said, "I don't think Xia Wanwan will let this go. You know her temper perfectly well. She cares a lot about her family. Even if her own sister did something to hurt her, she could let it go. Can someone like that really just let it go? Maybe she already holds a grudge against Ning Xi."
“Wanwan isn’t that kind of person,” Huo Nanxiao replied.
Qu Huilan snorted coldly: "That's the kind of person she is. I've lived most of my life, and I can tell a lot about a person's character at a glance. Xia Wanwan is not what you see. She is also a scheming person. If she were really kind, she wouldn't have destroyed your family."
"I got engaged to Wanwan only because she needed the status of the young mistress of the Huo family," Huo Nanxiao replied.
Qu Huilan said earnestly, "But Xia Wanwan's thoughts may not be as simple as yours. The Xia family used to be known for treating Xia Wanwan well, so why did everything change after Ning Xi appeared? Nan Xiao, have you ever considered that this might be a facade they deliberately created for you?"
Xia Wanwan should know better than anyone else that if she doesn't marry Huo Nanxiao, at most people will gossip about her. With the life-saving grace she owes Huo Nanxiao, she can still live a good life and it's impossible for her to end up with nowhere to stand.
But why did it suddenly turn out like this?
Qu Huilan kindly reminded her, "Perhaps, all she ever wanted was to marry you. As for the rest, who knows if the Xia family is just putting on an act? Based on Xia Wanwan's understanding of you, she must know that you won't let her suffer. She may seem to be having a bad time in the Xia family, but from another perspective, isn't she using this matter to control you?"
Outside the door, the children's voices were noisy and disruptive.
From afar, you can see three children chasing and playing in the garden, their smiles so sweet they melt your heart.
These are Huo Nanxiao's children. Can Huo Nanxiao really bear to watch his three children leave the capital?
All for Xia Wanwan, he lost his wife, his child, and his parents...
What makes Xia Wanwan worthy of Huo Nanxiao's devotion to her?
Huo Nanxiao is a businessman who has dealt with countless people over the years. He has a keen eye for business, but he has some doubts about Xia Wanwan.
"I know," he replied with only three words to Qu Huilan.
Qu Huilan didn't understand what he meant: "And then what? What are you planning to do? Are you really going to let Ning Xi leave with the children? I heard that Li Yancheng has been pursuing her. That guy is hoping you divorce Ning Xi so he can get the children for free in the end. You can't fall for that."
"You're overthinking it." Huo Nanxiao didn't believe that Li Yancheng was so magnanimous as to genuinely want to become a father.
Qu Huilan said, "You're dreaming too much. Ning Xi is beautiful and capable, who wouldn't like her? Only you are blind not to like her. Zhou Bing has been in the hospital for several hours now, right? I reckon by tomorrow, scandals about our Huo family will be flying everywhere."
She believed that Xia Wanwan and her family would definitely take this opportunity to put pressure on the Huo family.
I thought Zhou Fenglin would make a big fuss about this by tomorrow morning at the earliest, but the news had already spread throughout high society that very evening.
They didn't say anything bad about the Huo family, but they posted a photo of Zhou Bingchang with a severed hand online, telling everyone that Huo Nanxiao did it.
They also brought up the fact that Xia Wanwan saved Huo Nanxiao's life six years ago, which made netizens immediately think that the Huo family were all ungrateful.
One by one, they began to criticize Huo Nanxiao.
Several of Huo Nanxiao's friends in the capital sent him messages to inquire about the situation, but he didn't reply.
I stayed at the Huo family's house for one night and went to work at the company early the next morning.
Fu Xiyu even came to Huo Nanxiao to inquire about the situation because of this.
"Nan Xiao, I heard you attacked Wanwan's uncle last night. What happened? Why did you do that?" Fu Xiyu asked.
Huo Nanxiao said, "Watch less of the news outside."
“Wanwan told me about this, and last night she even asked me for the expert’s contact number to perform surgery on her uncle,” Fu Xiyu said.
Huo Nanxiao signed his name on the contract calmly: "She shouldn't be involved in this."
“But you are already engaged, you are family. He is Wanwan’s uncle, and he will be your uncle in the future as well. Nan Xiao, what you are doing will really put Wanwan in a difficult position.” Fu Xiyu felt very sorry for Xia Wanwan when he thought about her current situation.
Huo Nanxiao closed the contract in his hand, suddenly looked up, and looked at him seriously: "My engagement to Wanwan is only because I don't want her to be discriminated against by outsiders because of her lowly status. I have no other intentions."
“But Wanwan loves you, and her biggest wish in this life is to marry you,” Fu Xiyu said excitedly.
Huo Nanxiao replied in a deep voice, "I already have a family, she shouldn't have such thoughts."
“But Xia Ningxi will soon be taking the child and leaving the capital, going abroad, and never coming back. At that time, you and Wanwan should still act as if nothing happened,” Fu Xiyu reminded her.
He wanted to tell Huo Nanxiao that as long as Xia Ningxi left with the child, why not pretend that she and the child had never existed?
Without Xia Ningxi and without the child, perhaps Xia Wanwan could live happily with Huo Nanxiao.
But... Huo Nanxiao couldn't hear Fu Xiyu's words; all he could hear in his mind was Fu Xiyu's words: Xia Ningxi will soon be leaving with the child.
She wanted to leave this place with her child...
My heart... feels so heavy I can hardly breathe.
