Chapter 532 She must be heartbroken.
Zhou Fenglin had already decided to kill her. She knew very well that even if Xia Wanwan married into the Huo family, she could not rest easy for the rest of her life, after all, Xia Ningxi had given birth to two sons for Huo Nanxiao.
The two sons are now four years old and are still very much loved. It is said that Huo Xiuyuan plans to hand over the Huo family business to the two children to manage after they grow up.
Doesn't this mean the Huo family is back in Xia Ningxi's hands?
What benefits could they possibly gain?
This idea took root in Zhou Fenglin's mind, and her reflection in the mirror became grotesque and terrifying.
"Are you crazy? Don't let me hear that again. If someone with ulterior motives hears this, I don't need to tell you what will happen," Xia Wanwan warned.
Zhou Fenglin said with a smile, "This is our own home. Who would tell anyone about something like this? I'm doing this for your own good."
"If you're doing this for my own good, then don't touch Huo Yuan and Xia Xingxing. They're not my children. If anything happens to them, everyone will suspect me, and the Huo family will definitely find you through the slightest clue." Xia Wanwan didn't want Zhou Fenglin to get involved.
Zhou Fenglin sneered: "I'm not stupid. I'll find someone to take action after Xia Ningxi leaves the country with the child. Don't worry, the Huo family will definitely not find any evidence."
"Enough!" Xia Wanwan scolded angrily. "I'm already engaged to Huo Nanxiao, so Mother, please stop interfering in our relationship. You'll only hurt me by doing this."
"Alright, alright, fine, whatever you say. My daughter is truly outstanding. You have no idea how grand this engagement ceremony is. The entire media from the capital city came, along with many powerful and influential figures. In the past, inviting them would have been harder than climbing to heaven, but now they're all flocking to curry favor with our family. Just thinking about it makes me feel so good!"
Zhou Fenglin laughed triumphantly, took out his treasured jewelry and put it all on Xia Wanwan, wishing he could cover Xia Wanwan with gold and silver jewelry and dress her up like a flower.
Xia Wanwan silently let Zhou Fenglin do her hair and makeup.
Neither of them noticed Xia Luoluo standing outside the door.
Xia Luoluo looked at her mother and the woman in the wheelchair, clenched her fists, turned around and went back to her bedroom, smashing all the dresses in the closet!
"Damn it, why is she the one engaged to Young Master Huo? What makes her so special!"
"Over the years, I've been the one making the sacrifices, while she's done nothing. Why should she reap the benefits without lifting a finger?"
"And then there's my mother. She only has eyes for Xia Wanwan now, and she thinks I can't marry into a wealthy family and am not as good as her. What right do they have!"
Xia Luoluo was consumed by jealousy, and her hatred for Xia Wanwan deepened considerably.
In her heart, she was the one who should marry into the Huo family, because she was healthy and fertile. What was Xia Wanwan? Even if she had this body, she might not be able to bear children for Huo Nanxiao in five years, and she would not be able to consolidate her position at all.
Zhou Fenglin must have lost his mind. Doesn't he even understand this basic principle?
Xia Luoluo was seething with hatred, truly regretting not having been ruthless earlier. If Xia Wanwan had died at Xia Ningxi's hands, none of this trouble would have happened.
Yes, that's right!
She couldn't just accept her fate!
"Miss Lolo, Madam wants to see you." There was a knock at the door, and it was the maid calling from outside.
Xia Luoluo snapped out of her daze and asked, "What does she want from me?"
The maid said, "Miss Wanwan is all dressed up. Madam wants you to take Miss Wanwan downstairs so we can head to the hotel."
"Okay, I understand." Xia Luoluo didn't delay. She immediately chose a dress that could outshine Xia Wanwan and dressed herself up beautifully. She wanted to steal the show at tonight's engagement banquet!
By 6 p.m., the banquet hall was already packed with people.
All the major media outlets in the capital gathered outside the gate, and they were all shocked to see the representatives of various wealthy families arriving one after another.
"As expected of the engagement banquet of the Huo family's heir, all four major wealthy families are here."
"Xia Wanwan really has a grand entrance."
"She's really lucky to have managed to marry into such a prestigious family as the Huo family. She won't have to worry about the rest of her life."
"What great luck! I wish I were that lucky too."
A group of people were extremely envious and all wanted to be like Xia Wanwan.
The young masters of the four great families were all present.
Jin Mingxi was very frustrated. "I just can't understand why Nan Xiao suddenly wants to get engaged to Xia Wanwan?"
"No need to ask, the Xia family forced the emperor to abdicate," Helian Jue mocked.
Fu Xiyu said, "Xia Wanwan is Nan Xiao's savior after all. Both morally and logically, Nan Xiao should keep his promise."
"Xia Wanwan is quite shameless. She knows that Nan Xiao already has a child, but she still insists on getting closer to him. I thought she was a nice person before, but I didn't expect her to be such a scheming person." Ji Feibai commented without any politeness.
Fu Xiyu's expression changed instantly.
As a result, Fu Mingyan proudly supported him: "Brother Feibai is right. Xia Wanwan is a shameless woman, despicable and vile, who destroys other people's families."
"Don't say that in front of Nan Xiao, or he'll get angry." Ji Feibai quickly made a silencing gesture.
Fu Mingyan said, "I'm telling the truth. Doesn't Brother Nanxiao allow me to tell the truth?"
"Be careful Xia Wanwan might stab you in the back," Ji Feibai warned with a smile.
Helian Jue smiled, a hint of mockery in his unfathomable eyes.
An Yao, who had been sitting next to Helian Jue, held her skirt, lowered her head, bit her lip, and hesitated several times before speaking.
"What do you want to say?" Helian Jue noticed her unusual behavior.
An Yao asked, "Who is Xia Wanwan? Is she the girl we met when we had dinner last time?"
"No," Helian Jue denied.
Jin Mingxi said, "The girl you saw last time was Xia Ningxi."
"Huh? But isn't she with Young Master Huo? Who is this Xia Wanwan?" An Yao asked in surprise.
Jin Mingxi said, "To be precise, Xia Wanwan is Huo Nanxiao's savior. To repay her kindness, Nanxiao has no choice but to marry her."
“Then Xia Ningxi…” An Yao’s face was very ugly.
Helian Jue sneered: "Why are you so concerned about Xia Ningxi? Is it because she helped you escape last time?"
"I... I didn't!" An Yao immediately denied it. Not wanting to cause trouble for Xia Ningxi, she could only shut her mouth and dare not ask any more questions.
It wasn't until Xia Wanwan arrived at the banquet that An Yao saw Xia Wanwan's face clearly. Looking at the thin, sickly-looking woman in front of her, An Yao wondered why Xia Wanwan was Xia Ningxi's older sister, and why Xia Ningxi had already had several children with Huo Nanxiao.
Is it really a good idea for her, as the older sister, to get engaged to Huo Nanxiao?
Did Xia Ningxi come today? If she did, she would be heartbroken to see this scene.
