Chapter 839 Framing
Xia Wanwan's body stiffened, and her previously calm face turned extremely ugly.
Xia Luoluo mocked her: "Xia Ningxi, are you jealous of my sister? You're jealous that she was able to marry Huo Nanxiao and live the life of a wealthy socialite, so you're resentful and that's why you couldn't wait to run back to the country."
"You seem to have severed ties with Huo Nanxiao, but you did it on purpose, didn't you? You deliberately let Huo Nanxiao know that you're back and still entangled with other men, all to play hard to get and attract Huo Nanxiao's attention."
The two sisters believed they had already figured out Xia Ningxi's background and were quite certain that Xia Ningxi's return to Lingcheng this time was to seduce Huo Nanxiao.
But they seem to have forgotten that Xia Ningxi never contacted Huo Nanxiao again after their divorce, and even after returning to China, it was Huo Nanxiao who was the one seeking her out.
"If I really wanted to remarry Huo Nanxiao, how could it be your turn?" Xia Ningxi laughed instead of getting angry.
Xia Luoluo: "You think you can't compare to my sister, so you don't dare to compete with her."
"If you're so confident, why did you come to me? It can't just be to invite me to dinner, can it?" Xia Ningxi retorted.
Xia Luoluo sneered: "Are you worthy?"
Xia Ningxi wasn't angry. She leaned back lazily in her chair, called the waiter, and ordered seven different flavors of coffee and juice, filling the table.
She didn't leave a single drink for the two of them, casually tasting the different flavored beverages, acting entirely as if she was there to relax.
I'm too lazy to waste my breath on them.
Seeing her so arrogant, Xia Luoluo was seething with anger; it would be a lie to say she wasn't angry.
After wiping the water stains clean, Xia Wanwan said to Xia Ningxi, "If you still have feelings for Nan Xiao, I hope you can tell me in advance. The Xia family is now dependent on Nan Xiao. Without him, the Xia Group will go bankrupt, and our whole family will not be doing well."
“I know I’m sorry to you, and I know you’ve suffered a lot of injustices over the years, but we are family. No matter how many conflicts we had before, I don’t want you to take revenge on the Xia family or on everyone. I can withdraw at any time, but you have to tell me in advance.”
These words confused Xia Luoluo, who immediately grabbed Xia Wanwan's hand: "What nonsense are you talking about?"
Xia Wanwan: "This is something I owe her."
"Don't you know who she is? How could she not retaliate against you, retaliate against everyone?" Xia Luoluo's voice was sharp.
Xia Wanwan gently patted her hand, signaling her to go outside and wait.
Xia Luoluo sulked, glared fiercely at Xia Ningxi, and left.
After Xia Luoluo had completely walked away, Xia Wanwan finally spoke: "Ning Xi, I know I'm sorry, but as you can see, my situation in the Xia family is not good. They seem to treat me well, but in reality, they all have ill intentions. The only person I can rely on now is Nan Xiao."
“Unlike you, I don’t have many choices. I can only choose Nan Xiao. Uncle Huo is currently searching for the children. Once he learns that you are in Lingcheng, he will definitely bring the children home as soon as possible.”
“If I were you, I would take good care of these children. You are someone who works on big projects and have a lot of things to do in the future. Sometimes you can’t even take care of yourself, so how can you take care of the children? Sending them back to the Huo family might be a good choice. At least it’s better than you struggling to raise three children by yourself right now. You simply don’t have time to take care of them.”
As an observer, I clearly understand how difficult it is for Xia Ningxi to raise three children alone.
She's a researcher; can she really take good care of a child?
That's probably impossible.
Xia Wanwan thought she was being very considerate of Xia Ningxi, but Xia Ningxi herself found it laughable when she said those words.
"Are you done talking?" Xia Ningxi asked.
"I'm done talking," Xia Wanwan replied.
Xia Ningxi: "I should go now. Go back wherever it's cool."
"You haven't given me the answer I want yet," Xia Wanwan called out to her.
Xia Ningxi smiled, her lips curving upwards. "Whether or not you can keep Huo Nanxiao is a question for you to consider; it has nothing to do with me."
She had no need to pay attention to Xia Wanwan, nor was she obligated to pave the way for her to leave Lingcheng.
Xia Ningxi would never have paid any attention to them if they hadn't come to her door.
In fact, Xia Ningxi was well aware of Xia Wanwan's inner fear. She knew that Xia Wanwan must have been tossing and turning and couldn't sleep well these past few days, which was why she had to bite the bullet and come to her.
However, Xia Ningxi is now certain that she will have even less sleep after going back.
As Xia Ningxi walked out of the coffee shop, she ran into Xia Luoluo at the door. Xia Luoluo was on the phone with someone and quickly stopped her when she realized Xia Ningxi was about to leave.
"Get out of the way," Xia Ningxi said impatiently.
Xia Luoluo asked, "You agreed to go abroad?"
"Why would I go abroad?" Xia Ningxi asked rhetorically.
Xia Luoluo: "You have a great influence on us in China, so you shouldn't be here. If I were you, I would take the child and never come back."
"Heh." Xia Ningxi chuckled lightly, too lazy to even acknowledge her.
Xia Luoluo clenched her fists and warned, "This is the last time I'm reminding you, don't covet what doesn't belong to you. If you don't leave, you'll never have another chance."
Bang--
Xia Ningxi slammed the car door shut and sped away from that awful place.
She felt really unlucky. Even after moving to a different city, she was still bothered by these two sisters. One played the good cop and the other the bad cop. Did they really think she was a fool who could be easily manipulated?
Neuropathy!
Xia Ningxi left readily.
As Xia Luoluo watched her departing figure, she took out her phone and made a call: "It's time to make a move."
Xia Ningxi had only been in Lingcheng for a few days and was unfamiliar with the roads. She only realized that it would take almost an hour to drive home according to the navigation. On the way, she took the Huanshan Expressway in the suburbs, and she discovered that the brakes had failed as soon as she got on the expressway.
The car was going very fast, and no matter how hard she pressed the brakes, there was no response.
She took a deep breath and tried to slow down while immediately dialing the police, but it was too late. The completely out-of-control car was going faster and faster, eventually reaching a speed of 200 miles per hour. If a collision occurred, she would be torn to pieces.
Seeing an emergency escape lane ahead, Xia Ningxi was overjoyed and quickly drove onto it. But just when Xia Ningxi thought she was saved, a black car suddenly crashed into her.
boom--
A deafening sound accompanied by billowing smoke shot into the sky, and the car was lifted off the ground, flipped several times, and then burst into flames.
...
My phone rang.
Xia Luoluo glanced at the text message, silently deleted it, and walked towards the coffee shop with a smile.
"Luo Luo, where's my phone?" Xia Wanwan asked in confusion.
Xia Luoluo quietly put the phone into Xia Wanwan's bag: "It's right here, why didn't you look for it properly?"
"That's strange, I wasn't here just now." Xia Wanwan was puzzled.
Xia Luoluo smiled broadly: "You've had surgery, it's normal to forget a thing or two. Let's go back first. Young Master Huo should be off work by now, maybe we can still make it in time for dinner."
