Chapter 901 You're Pathetic
The onlookers all thought Xia Wanwan had gone mad, otherwise she wouldn't have said such unreasonable things.
Is it Xia Ningxi's fault that Huo Nanxiao is ignoring her?
It's clearly a problem between the couple. Instead of letting Xia Ningxi leave Huo Nanxiao, why not go back and properly manage Huo Nanxiao?
As more and more people gathered, Tang En received news that the two had started arguing and rushed to Xia Wanwan's ward. There he saw Xia Wanwan confronting Xia Ningxi, who was in a state of extreme emotional distress.
Don quickly closed the door and said, "Are you here to cause trouble?"
Xia Wanwan glanced coldly at Tang En, "I'm talking to my own sister, it's none of your business to interfere, please don't meddle."
“She severed ties with the Xia family long ago, so she can’t really be considered your sister,” Tang En replied.
Xia Wanwan scoffed, "Blood ties can't be severed. No matter what she says, it can't change the fact that we're family. Mr. Tang En, you're the outsider."
"Can't you understand human language?" Tang En didn't have the patience to indulge Xia Wanwan.
Xia Wanwan didn't want to confront Tang En directly, nor did she want to pay any attention to him; she simply ignored him.
Tang En sneered: "You're all talk and no action. Don't think that just because you're Mrs. Huo, everyone has to watch your face. I don't even care about Huo Nanxiao, let alone someone as insignificant as you."
Xia Wanwan replied neither humbly nor arrogantly: "Mr. Tang En is extremely famous. No matter where you go, there are always a lot of people who have to watch your face. I also know that you are very capable. You can cut off all my escape routes with just one sentence."
But please don't abuse your power. I'm just a patient; it's not worth you coming here personally to cause me trouble.
This statement, in effect, places all the blame on Don.
Besides the three of them, there were other doctors and nurses in the ward. If Xia Wanwan said that, outsiders would inevitably think that Tang En was bullying Xia Wanwan, a weak little girl.
Tang En, being a foreigner, was a beat slow to react, but Xia Ningxi was not stupid.
Xia Ningxi knew that Xia Wanwan was smearing Tang En, and she was furious. She suppressed her temper and said to Xia Wanwan, "If you don't act shamelessly, no one will bother you."
"Don, you all go out first, I'll handle this."
Xia Ningxi didn't want to involve other innocent people, so she simply asked everyone else in the ward to leave, and her lazy gaze fell on Xia Wanwan.
She had already lost her patience, and now she still had to spend time dealing with Xia Wanwan, which was really exhausting.
But Xia Ningxi knew better than anyone that even if she explained things clearly now, Xia Wanwan wouldn't listen.
Xia Ningxi said, "Are you planning to beg me, or just have a few words to satisfy your craving?"
Xia Wanwan's face turned pale, and her palms clenched tightly.
"I don't have the patience to waste time with you," Xia Ningxi added.
Xia Wanwan asked, "Would it do any good if I begged you?"
"It's no use." Xia Ningxi said coldly.
Xia Wanwan smiled bitterly: "Since it's useless, why should I ask you for help?"
"Then what's wrong with you? Are you so eager for everyone to know that you're a mistress who took over? Or do you think that just because you're sick, everyone will unconditionally side with you?" Xia Ningxi retorted.
Xia Wanwan suppressed her temper: "I'm angry that Huo Nanxiao spends most of his time on you and the child, but is it wrong for me to be angry? You're divorced, and you have custody of the child. You should keep your distance from him, but you haven't done so."
Whether you're willing to admit it or not, it doesn't change the fact that you and Huo Nanxiao have always been in contact. I was greedy, and I truly wronged you, but I'm different from you. I only have Nanxiao left, while you can still live a good life even without Huo Nanxiao.
Ning Xi, we're family. Are you really going to drive me to my death?
Xia Wanwan's voice trembled, and tears welled up in her eyes, making her look so weak and pitiful that anyone who saw her couldn't help but feel sorry for her.
If Huo Nanxiao were here, he would definitely embrace the weak and pitiful Xia Wanwan without hesitation.
Unfortunately, the person standing opposite her was Xia Ningxi.
He was the only one who wasn't fooled by Xia Wanwan's gentle appearance.
Xia Ningxi even found Xia Wanwan's behavior ridiculous, saying, "Don't blame all your incompetence on me."
Xia Wanwan: "As long as you're around, Huo Nanxiao will never truly accept me. If you really have no feelings for Huo Nanxiao, you should cut off all contact with him. I'm begging you."
Her voice grew weaker and weaker towards the end, each word filled with a strong plea.
Perhaps, Xia Wanwan had no other choice.
Xia Ningxi didn't know what kind of life Xia Wanwan had been living during this time, but in Xia Ningxi's impression, Xia Wanwan was a very arrogant person.
She had a habit of pretending to be aloof. No matter who or what she encountered, as long as there was room for her to act, Xia Wanwan would pretend to be pure and innocent.
She knew that Huo Nanxiao was married, but she did not choose to back out. Instead, she put on a pitiful look in front of Huo Nanxiao and let him make the decision.
In the end, Huo Nanxiao bore all the blame and pressure, while Xia Wanwan reaped the benefits, happily becoming Mrs. Huo and even helping the Xia family rise to power.
Xia Ningxi found her ridiculous: "You must be very anxious and scared right now, right?"
"Afraid? Why should I be afraid?" Xia Wanwan retorted.
Xia Ningxi said, "You're so afraid that I'll take away everything you've worked so hard to have. You'd rather abandon your dignity and beg me than give up your status as Mrs. Huo. Xia Wanwan, you're so pathetic."
"Me, pathetic? How ridiculous. I'm perfectly fine, how am I pathetic?" Xia Wanwan clenched her fists, each word dripping with tears.
Xia Ningxi said, "You've always liked to pretend to be high and mighty. Even though your mother was a mistress, you still knew how to pretend to be high and mighty. You finally managed to act like the number one socialite in the capital, but now you have to come and beg me. Don't you feel sorry for yourself?"
Xia Wanwan's eyes welled up with tears, and she felt a pang of sadness. She couldn't refute Xia Ningxi's words at all, because Xia Ningxi was telling the truth.
Outsiders all thought Xia Wanwan was living a good life, driving away Xia Ningxi and her child with her frail health, seizing Huo Nanxiao, and becoming the ultimate winner.
But did Xia Wanwan really win?
Perhaps she won.
But she wasn't happy at all.
She even stooped so low as to lower her pride and take the initiative to beg Xia Ningxi to leave her husband in order to save Xia Wanwan's already broken marriage.
For Xia Wanwan, such a marriage was nothing short of torture.
Xia Ningxi laughed at her: "You're pathetic."
"Even so, I have everything I wanted. Whether it's tragic or not is not something that can be summed up in a few words by others." Xia Wanwan stubbornly insisted.
Xia Ningxi shrugged indifferently: "I think you are absolutely right, so you don't need to lower yourself to beg me. Even if you kneel here today, I will not agree to any of your requests."
Xia Wanwan said angrily, "What good will it do you to hook up with Nan Xiao?"
Xia Ningxi chuckled: "Can't you see? The villa I live in was bought by Huo Nanxiao. You can never change the fact that I am his ex-wife, nor can you change the fact that I married him before you."
Instead of begging me to leave Huo Nanxiao, you should think carefully about what you have that would make him want to stay with you. A broken body? A filthy, hypocritical soul? Or perhaps a destitute family steeped in filth?
Xia Wanwan had neither money nor power.
The image that was once like a pure, unattainable ideal has now vanished completely in the face of hardship.
Xia Ningxi may have been genuinely afraid of Xia Wanwan, fearing that her intervention would destroy her family and steal away Huo Nanxiao, the man she loved most.
But love is something that is very rare.
Six years is enough time to wear away all of Xia Ningxi's affection for Huo Nanxiao, and his indifference is enough to completely erase Xia Ningxi's love.
Losing Huo Nanxiao, giving up Huo Nanxiao, is not worth mentioning to Xia Ningxi now.
But Xia Wanwan is different. She is so pathetic that she can only depend on men for the rest of her life.
Even more tragically, Xia Wanwan had to take the initiative to find her younger sister, whom she once looked down upon the most, and beg Xia Ningxi to let her go.
In the past, this kind of thing would never have happened.
Xia Ningxi left the ward.
Before the door was even closed, a muffled thud was heard from inside.
The doctor standing at the door glanced inside and saw Xia Wanwan fall straight to the ground, which startled him so much that he rushed forward.
"Miss Wanwan, are you alright? Are you okay?" the doctor asked anxiously.
Xia Wanwan's face looked extremely grim.
Xia Ningxi didn't bother to pay attention, but she didn't expect Huo Nanxiao to appear at this time.
Xia Ningxi was surprised to see him walk out of the elevator, but when she thought of Xia Wanwan inside who had fainted from anger, her feelings were very complicated.
