Chapter 727 She's just a joke
It's unclear why Fu Mingyan has gotten into a grudge against Xia Wanwan. She's willing to do anything to upset Xia Wanwan, especially now that Xia Wanwan's face has turned green. Fu Mingyan is even asking her questions in a sarcastic tone.
"Miss Wanwan, why are you staring at Brother Nanxiao? Didn't you see there's someone with him? It's not appropriate for you to stare at him like that."
Xia Wanwan sat in the chair, trying her best to keep smiling, and didn't respond to Fu Mingyan's words.
Fu Mingyan pulled Xia Ningxi to sit down opposite her, and didn't forget to ask Huo Nanxiao, "Brother Nanxiao, I heard that you recently have plans to support the Xia Group?"
"Who told you that?" Huo Nanxiao asked back.
Fu Mingyan: "Brother Nanxiao, do you mean something else? I'm wondering why my brother suddenly wanted to invest in the Xia Group. I thought you asked him to do it."
Huo Nanxiao did not admit it, but no matter who did it, it should not have been Huo Nanxiao who did it.
If the news reaches Huo Xiuyuan's ears, he will only become angrier.
Fu Xiyu didn't want Fu Mingyan to dwell on this matter, so he scolded her in a low voice, "Don't meddle in company affairs."
"Why can't I ask? I'll tell Dad about this when I get back. He's on good terms with Uncle Huo, and I'd like to know if he agreed to you helping the Xia family." Fu Mingyan was already prepared to complain.
This is also what Fu Xiyu fears most.
His stern eyes were full of warning: "You'd better keep your mouth shut, or you can forget about getting any pocket money this month."
"You're threatening me for the sake of an outsider?" Fu Mingyan's face was puffed up with anger.
Fu Xiyu: "With so many guests watching, don't act recklessly."
Fu Mingyan clenched her fists, but she didn't dare to argue with Fu Xiyu. She was afraid that Fu Xiyu would really cut off her living expenses. But she couldn't just swallow her anger. She said to Xia Wanwan sourly, "You're quite capable. You're seducing Brother Nan Xiao while being ambiguous with my brother. If you keep going like this, it won't be long before all the men in the capital are falling at your feet."
Xia Wanwan, who had tried so hard to maintain her dignified and virtuous demeanor, was now losing face. She was a person who cared about her reputation and would not allow herself to be humiliated by Fu Mingyan for no reason. She said coldly, "I have known your brother since childhood. He is willing to help the Xia family because of our past relationship. Your humiliation of me is not only a slap in my face, but also a slap in the face of the Fu family. You are making a fool of yourself in front of others. As the daughter of the Fu family, how can you speak so sharply and meanly? This is not the kind of upbringing the Fu family should have."
"Who do you think you are, lecturing me like that!" Fu Mingyan was so angry that she jumped up and down, and started cursing: "I have no manners? And how much better are you? At least I wouldn't seduce my own brother-in-law, unlike you who are so shameless. You knew that Brother Nan Xiao had a wife and family, but you still went to seduce him. Our Fu family's upbringing really can't produce someone as shameless as you."
Xia Wanwan angrily explained, "You're talking nonsense."
"I'm talking nonsense? Who in the entire capital doesn't know about this?" Fu Mingyan shouted, drawing everyone's attention.
Those who are here today are all people of status and position in the capital. Who doesn't know what Xia Wanwan has done? It's just that they don't dare to say it to Xia Wanwan, for fear of angering Huo Nanxiao and being retaliated against. But in fact, there are many people who look down on Xia Wanwan.
Anyone with a shred of decency wouldn't seduce their brother-in-law and become a mistress.
Xia Wanwan is quite something. Not only did she do all these things, but she also had the nerve to come to the Fu family asking for investment. Where is her shame?
Fu Mingyan grew angrier the more she thought about it, and she didn't hold back in mocking her: "Everyone knows what your family has done. Xia Ningxi is the first wife. Over the years, Brother Nan Xiao has helped the Xia family a lot, but your family not only doesn't know how to be grateful, but you have also gone to the hospital to make trouble time and time again, deliberately trying to ruin Xia Ningxi's reputation. I have never seen such a vicious person as you."
After saying this, Fu Mingyan gave Duan Rongrong a wink.
Duan Rongrong smiled slightly: "Perhaps Miss Wanwan feels that she has already secured the position of the eldest daughter-in-law of the Huo family, so she doesn't take Dr. Xia seriously."
The onlookers couldn't help but chime in: "Miss Wanwan should be Young Master Huo's beloved, but she can't disregard her own status."
"Young Master Huo is already married with several well-behaved and adorable children. The family is happy and could have lived happily ever after, but she broke up their marriage. No wonder Old Master Huo is angry."
“A perfectly good family was torn apart because of her. Who could stand by and watch that? It’s only natural that Old Master Huo would take action against the Xia family. If it were me, I probably would have torn the whole family apart.”
Everyone chimed in with their own opinions, almost all of them criticizing Xia Wanwan.
Xia Wanwan felt utterly ashamed, tears blurring her vision and almost overflowing from her eyes. She tried her best to remain calm and not cry out loud, but being criticized by so many people, she couldn't help but shed tears.
"Enough! Have you all said you've had enough?" Fu Xiyu snapped.
Everyone immediately shut their mouths and dared not say anything more.
Fu Xiyu: "Everyone, disperse. What are you doing gathered here? Eat and drink as you please. Don't gossip about things that don't concern you."
Fu Xiyu has already publicly defended Xia Wanwan, so what else can anyone say? They don't want to be targeted by Fu Xiyu. Mocking Xia Wanwan is a small matter, but offending the Fu family would have serious consequences.
In an instant, everyone dispersed and said nothing more. But in fact, even after they left, they would still gossip about Xia Wanwan in twos and threes, only they kept their voices very low.
Every now and then, people would look over at Xia Wanwan, and no one knew what they were talking about. Xia Wanwan could clearly feel that the people's gazes were unnatural, and she felt uncomfortable, but in the end she didn't say anything and could only pretend that she didn't see anything.
As long as Xia Ningxi is here, Xia Wanwan can't hold her head up.
Because everyone knows that Xia Ningxi is Huo Nanxiao's original wife and the only one who is qualified to stand by Huo Nanxiao's side, while she is just a joke.
Xia Wanwan came today because Fu Xiyu promised to help her and the Xia family to make a comeback. Xia Wanwan also wanted to take this opportunity to get to know some capable and prestigious people in the capital city and promote cooperation between the two families.
But now, everyone avoids Xia Wanwan like the plague. No one wants to deal with her, let alone cooperate with the Xia family. They all run away faster than rabbits, afraid of having any connection with Xia Wanwan.
Xia Wanwan never expected things to turn out this way, but then she thought, Xia Ningxi, the original wife, is sitting right here. With Old Master Huo protecting her, who would dare to approach her in front of Xia Ningxi?
