Chapter 490 Saving Her Life
Fu Xiyu watched Xia Wanwan go through all this. At the youngest and most beautiful age, she became a vegetable to save Huo Nanxiao. So many years have passed, and although she has woken up, she can never return to her former stunning beauty.
Xia Wanwan has been in a coma for so many years, losing her youth and suffering severe physical damage. She is still unable to stand up.
Both morally and logically, Huo Nanxiao should take responsibility for Xia Wanwan.
Otherwise, given Xia Wanwan's past prominence in the capital, whatever choice she made would have been better than it is now.
He felt sorry for Xia Wanwan, but at the same time, he was heartbroken for her.
Fu Xiyu said to Huo Nanxiao, "I wouldn't be so angry if it were anyone else, but it can't be Xia Ningxi. You know what Xia Ningxi did, so why did you keep her around to upset Wanwan?"
"So, according to your plan, what do you intend to do?" Huo Nanxiao asked.
Fu Xiyu said, "Let her leave."
"Compared to making Wanwan disappear, would you rather she leave?" Huo Nanxiao asked rhetorically.
Fu Xiyu was taken aback: "What do you mean?"
“The Huo family is not under my control alone. For the sake of stability, my father would not allow any major changes to occur in the Huo family, much less let Xia Ningxi leave the capital with the child. If he had to make a choice, he would definitely choose to make Wanwan disappear,” Huo Nanxiao told him.
If Huo Xiuyuan really decides to take action, even if Huo Nanxiao intends to protect Xia Wanwan, he won't be able to.
Huo Xiuyuan will do everything in his power to get rid of Xia Wanwan and eliminate her from any further threat.
They all understood the dark side of large families. The Huo family was actually better. Huo Xiuyuan and Qu Huilan didn't care much about social status; they only cared about their descendants.
However, other prominent families are different. Take the Fu family for example. As the eldest son, Fu Xiyu is bound to marry a wealthy heiress in the future. This is something he can't even dream of. If Fu Xiyu wants to marry an ordinary girl, his father will definitely not allow it.
Fu Xiyu's cousin once caused a huge scene in the Fu family because he wanted to marry a big star. The entire family felt that the big star was worthless and tried their best to stop him, but to no avail. A month later, the big star was disfigured.
Huo Nanxiao asked Fu Xiyu, "You know their methods very well, don't you?"
Fu Xiyu said, "Wanwan is different from ordinary people. She saved you. Uncle Huo can't possibly deny it, right?"
“Wanwan can’t remember what happened back then,” Huo Nanxiao said.
Fu Xiyu: "That doesn't change the fact."
“That’s true… but Xia Ningxi may not really be wrong. If I let down her and the child for Wanwan’s sake, then what am I?” Huo Nanxiao retorted.
Fu Xiyu was shocked: "Xia Ningxi may not be at fault? Have you forgotten that it was Xia Ningxi who pushed her into the water? Have you forgotten that she stood by and watched her die? I think you've gone mad. Clearly, the one who started all this was that woman. She changed her name and identity and thinks she can erase all the wrongdoings she did back then? Is that even possible!"
Huo Nanxiao: "If she didn't do these things, wouldn't that be wronging her?"
Fu Xiyu was furious. He slammed his teacup on the table, his anger burning like a raging fire in his heart. As a friend, seeing Huo Nanxiao treat Xia Wanwan like this made him feel angry and heartbroken.
Everything is laid bare before us, the evidence is irrefutable. Just because Xia Wanwan can't remember what happened back then, does that mean we can cover up everything Xia Ningxi did?
"Huo Nanxiao, how can you do this to Wanwan?" Fu Xiyu was furious.
"I'm saving her life. Compared to marrying into the Huo family, her survival is more important."
Huo Nanxiao calmly stated this fact.
Fu Xiyu said, "If your father doesn't want to acknowledge it, I can go and ask him directly. I'm really going to take the lead in this matter."
He got up and walked outside.
Seeing that things were going badly, Jin Mingxi immediately stopped Fu Xiyu and advised, "Why are you getting so angry? This is their own business, why are you meddling so much?"
"Wanwan is such a kind person, how can you bear to watch her suffer such injustice?" Fu Xiyu asked him.
Jin Mingxi said, "Nan Xiao must have his own reasons for doing this. He's thought about it much more than you have. What are you doing going to the Huo family to cause trouble? People who don't know the situation will think you're going to marry Xia Wanwan."
"I—" Fu Xiyu was speechless for a moment, completely stumped by this sentence.
But he was still very annoyed.
At the same time, he had even more complaints about Xia Ningxi.
Fu Xiyu sneered coldly, "Xia Ningxi is quite capable. She changed her identity and not only managed to clear her name of all the evil deeds she had done, but she also became the chief doctor of the capital city. Ha!"
Huo Nanxiao was displeased: "She was a doctor who was hired from abroad by the Dean of the Imperial City Hospital with a high salary based on her own abilities. She did not do anything wrong at work. On the contrary, she is better than anyone else. If Xia Ningxi had not helped her back then, Fu Mingyan would not be alive and kicking now."
“She saved my sister, but what does that have to do with Wanwan? She is indeed an obstacle in Wanwan’s way,” Fu Xiyu said.
Huo Nanxiao: "If you want my father to take action, you can make a big fuss. The tragedy that happened to the Fu family will definitely be repeated on Wanwan."
That last sentence completely calmed Fu Xiyu down; he suddenly deflated like a punctured balloon and fell silent.
Jin Mingxi tried to smooth things over: "Stop arguing. Nan Xiao is right. Besides, Nan Xiao is already married. How can you expect his ex-wife to divorce him, take the children, and leave for someone else? If this gets out, even if Wanwan really marries into the Huo family, she will never have a peaceful life."
Given the temperament of those high-society ladies in the capital, they would have verbally abused Xia Wanwan to death. It would be strange if they hadn't teamed up to humiliate her. Xia Wanwan's personality couldn't withstand such humiliation; it would be easier for her to let go than to force things.
In this matter, Jin Mingxi completely sided with Huo Nanxiao.
After all, he and Xia Ningxi are husband and wife and have a child. He can't just abandon his wife and child for Xia Wanwan, can he?
If Huo Nanxiao really did such a thing, would Xia Wanwan really feel comfortable marrying him?
Besides, Xia Wanwan is Xia Ningxi's older sister. If Xia Wanwan really marries Huo Nanxiao, she will probably bear the infamy of stealing her brother-in-law for the rest of her life.
