Chapter 892 Holding a Wedding
Xia Wanwan almost wore all her dissatisfaction on her face. She was trying her best to endure it, but she still couldn't suppress the anger in her heart. Even if Huo Nanxiao didn't say it, she understood that he must have other ideas for focusing the company's focus on Lingcheng this time.
The capital city is such a good place, and the Huo family has been developing there for so many years. It's impossible for them to suddenly transfer the company's main business to other cities.
So, it must be for Xia Ningxi!
Even though Xia Wanwan tried her best to remain calm, she couldn't help but feel resentful when she thought about what Xia Ningxi had done to her recently.
“Xia Ningxi doesn’t like me, you know that very well. If it weren’t for her and Tang En’s pronouncements in the industry, those famous experts wouldn’t have ignored me.”
“She’s with Ling Xiao now. If you focus the company’s attention on Lingcheng, it will definitely make Ling Xiao unhappy.”
"You've only just started working together. If things get unpleasant because of these issues, it will affect both of you. Why don't you just not go to Lingcheng?"
Xia Wanwan was very careful.
Huo Nanxiao slowly raised his eyes. "This is the company's development plan. Don't overthink it."
“But you clearly have more choices.” Xia Wanwan was somewhat agitated.
Huo Nanxiao said, "This is a decision made after discussions among the company's senior management, and it is also an inevitable path for future development."
"Is that all?" Xia Wanwan didn't believe it.
Huo Nanxiao looked at her: "Then what do you think it would be?"
“Since it’s a branch office, anyone can go. Your company has so many capable people. Sending two competent vice presidents can manage the branch office very well. You don’t need to go in person,” Xia Wanwan suggested.
Huo Nanxiao lost his patience, closed the file in his hand, stared at Xia Wanwan's pale face, and said, word by word, "You don't understand company matters. Just focus on getting better and don't meddle."
"I..." Xia Wanwan hesitated, unable to finish her sentence.
She desperately wanted to say that she wasn't stupid, that she actually knew everything.
Seeing Huo Nanxiao's unwillingness to explain, she fell silent, swallowing back all her words in grievance.
No one knows how sad she is right now, and Huo Nanxiao probably doesn't care.
Xia Wanwan's tears kept falling. She didn't know what to say, so she sat silently to the side.
Huo Nanxiao, annoyed, asked her, "What are you upset about?"
“You’re gone, and I don’t know what to do,” Xia Wanwan replied.
Huo Nanxiao: "You are still useful to the Xia family, and your family will not make things difficult for you."
“But once you leave, they won’t care whether I live or die. You know what kind of people they are, they’re all just after profit. Even if I’m their own daughter, they might not care about me.” Xia Wanwan’s voice was hoarse.
"What do you want?" Huo Nanxiao could tell that she had something on her mind.
Xia Wanwan bit her lip: "I'll go to Lingcheng with you."
"No." Huo Nanxiao refused without hesitation.
Xia Wanwan asked, puzzled, "Why?"
"Not suitable."
Huo Nanxiao simply replied with three words, and then continued to focus on his work.
Xia Wanwan felt utterly hopeless. She lowered her head, unsure of what to say, but she couldn't bring herself to just let it go.
"I have to go to a meeting in a bit. If you're free, have your secretary take you out for a stroll," Huo Nanxiao suggested.
"Okay." Xia Wanwan couldn't stay there any longer.
Ye Su personally took Xia Wanwan to the shopping mall downstairs.
Xia Wanwan didn't utter a single word from beginning to end.
Perhaps feeling too awkward, Ye Su took the initiative to start a conversation: "Shall we go see a movie together?"
"No, thank you." Xia Wanwan shook her head.
Ye Su: "How about grabbing a coffee? Or going shopping for clothes?"
"Never mind." Xia Wanwan's answer was very simple.
Ye Su stopped talking. She felt that Xia Wanwan wouldn't listen to anything she said now, so why waste any more time?
After ignoring her, Xia Wanwan started a new topic herself, asking, "Does your CEO often contact Xia Ningxi?"
"Is that so?" Ye Su didn't lie to her and answered directly, "The president is very worried about the children and contacts Xia Ningxi every day."
“Every day? He’s certainly diligent, but he often doesn’t respond to the messages I send him,” Xia Wanwan said with a self-deprecating laugh.
Ye Su: "You live close by, so the president can see you anytime. But Xia Ningxi is different. She is far away in Lingcheng with several children, all alone and helpless. Naturally, the president is more worried about them."
“But they’re already divorced,” Xia Wanwan explained.
Ye Su: "Divorce doesn't mean the relationship is completely over. Just like you and the CEO, getting married doesn't mean you're like any other couple."
The CEO married you only because he was worried about your safety and afraid you wouldn't be able to make a living. He might still leave you in the future.
Xia Wanwan couldn't help but clench her fists: "Yes, he will leave me one day."
"Then why did I marry him?"
"What have I been persisting for all these years?"
Xia Wanwan was distraught.
Ye Su: "Perhaps it's for the money?"
One sentence caught Xia Wanwan completely off guard. She froze, a hint of embarrassment flashing across her face.
Ye Su smiled and offered no further explanation.
After accompanying Xia Wanwan around the mall, she was exhausted and took a taxi to send Xia Wanwan home immediately after they finished shopping.
She wasn't happy to just leave like that.
Ye Su said, "Miss Wanwan, the president is busy and may not have time to entertain you. If you have time, you might as well go back to the Xia Group to study hard so that you will have the ability to support yourself after the divorce."
"Thanks for reminding me." Xia Wanwan forced a smile.
After dropping the person off at their doorstep, Ye Su quickly left. Before leaving, she couldn't help but steal a glance at Xia Wanwan, who was crying at her doorstep.
"Okay, okay, I'm fast. If she cried in front of me, I wouldn't know how to comfort her," Ye Su murmured softly.
Xia Wanwan made many efforts to prevent Huo Nanxiao from going to Lingcheng. The Xia family also tried to persuade Huo Nanxiao, almost to the point of confronting him directly, but in the end, they still couldn't change Huo Nanxiao's mind.
Xia Ningxi also learned from the news that Huo Nanxiao was coming to Lingcheng to develop his career. At first, she doubted that it was fake news, but she asked Ling Xiao to find out that it was true.
She was puzzled and couldn't understand why Huo Nanxiao, who was doing well in the capital city, would suddenly decide to come to Lingcheng to develop his career. Was he here because of her?
No, probably not.
But if he wasn't here for her, why would Huo Nanxiao come to Lingcheng?
She was completely baffled.
Ling Xiao noticed her worry and asked, "Are you afraid of Huo Nanxiao?"
"Yes." Xia Ningxi did not deny it.
Ling Xiao said, "He's doing his thing, it has nothing to do with you, don't worry about it."
“He’s causing a lot of trouble in Lingcheng,” Xia Ningxi replied.
Ling Xiao: "If you're worried, you can stay at the Ling family home. We're all family anyway."
“No,” she refused.
Ling Xiao: "Why?"
“It’s not appropriate,” Xia Ningxi replied.
Ling Xiao: "Because of your identity?"
“Yes.” Xia Ningxi nodded.
Ling Xiao said, "We can have a wedding, a completely public one, so that neither the Ling family nor the outside world will have any objections. That way, you can move into my house openly and legitimately."
"Hold a wedding?" Xia Ningxi was stunned. "Are you kidding me?"
Ling Xiao's expression was extremely serious: "I'm serious."
