Chapter 941 He's the one who broke your legs
Xia Ningxi had never been so embarrassed in her life. She suspected that Cao Xiuxian had not come for Lin Jiangbei's matter, but rather that she had come to make sarcastic remarks after learning that Huo Nanxiao was there.
They enjoyed saying those things, but Xia Ningxi felt very uncomfortable being caught in the middle.
The lab has a collaboration with the Ling family, so Xia Ningxi couldn't possibly drive the Ling family members away. Besides, Cao Xiuxian was right; she should keep a little distance after divorcing Huo Nanxiao.
Thinking of this, Xia Ningxi's gaze fell on Huo Nanxiao, and she said softly, "You should go back."
Huo Nanxiao not only ignored Xia Ningxi's words, but also grabbed her slender wrist and met Cao Xiuxian's wide eyes without hesitation, smiling slightly: "Madam Cao should indeed go back."
Cao Xiuxian's lips twitched violently, and she could no longer suppress her temper. She glared fiercely at Huo Nanxiao before turning her sleeves and leaving.
That evening, Ling Xiao was scolded by Cao Xiuxian because she felt that Ling Xiao had embarrassed her. At his age, he married a divorced man with three children, and not only that, his wife also had to live with her ex-husband!
Cao Xiuxian was furious: "What on earth is going on in your head? It's one thing to secretly get a marriage certificate with Xia Ningxi, but how come you can't even handle Huo Nanxiao? He's living in Xia Ningxi's house now!"
Ling Xiao's nonchalant attitude was excessively calm: "This is no big deal."
"Do you really expect them to rekindle their old flame and get back together? If they get divorced, you'll become secondhand goods!" Cao Xiuxian became angrier the more she thought about it.
Ling Xiao said, "Xia Wanwan won't get a divorce. As long as Huo Nanxiao doesn't want her to die, he won't get a divorce easily. Since he can't get a divorce, why should I worry so much? The Ling family is preparing to enter the pharmaceutical industry recently, and it's the time when they need help. Try not to cause Xia Ningxi any trouble. Although Tang En is in charge of the entire laboratory, Tang En only listens to Xia Ningxi."
If Xia Ningxi is unhappy and packs her bags to leave, Tang En will also make a clean getaway immediately, which wouldn't be good for the Ling family. As for other matters, we don't need to worry about them for now. Xia Ningxi is an adult; she knows better than anyone what she wants.
Ling Xiao's refusal was reasonable and well-founded, and he had no objection to the matter.
Cao Xiuxian frowned: "You're only tolerating Xia Ningxi like this because of the cooperation? You're being cuckolded right now."
“I don’t mind.” Ling Xiao was very open-minded.
Cao Xiuxian had no way to deal with her son, nor could she force him to fight against Huo Nanxiao. Most importantly, the two families were currently cooperating, and a falling out would be bad for everyone.
Considering all factors, they really couldn't touch Huo Nanxiao.
This discovery left Cao Xiuxian with mixed feelings. She harbored resentment, but in the end, she could only suppress all her dissatisfaction and coldly left behind a sentence: "I don't care what you think in your heart, I only have one sentence: we cannot let the Ling family lose face."
"Understood," Ling Xiao replied.
Cao Xiuxian stormed off.
Ling Xiao didn't pay any attention.
Ling Shuang was puzzled and asked curiously, "Big brother, what are your feelings for Xia Ningxi? Actually, what Auntie said is right. Divorcing Xia Ningxi will not have any impact on the company. I don't understand why you insist on maintaining this marriage. Is it just because Xia Ningxi is easier to deal with?"
“One convenience is enough,” Ling Xiao replied.
He was worried that the Ling family would cause trouble for Xia Ningxi again, so he made special instructions to other family members and even took care of the media.
Xia Ningxi was puzzled as to why the reporters who had been keeping an eye on her had all disappeared. However, Xia Ningxi didn't have the time or inclination to observe these things. She was extremely busy every day, dealing with company matters and the maddening Xia Wenhe in addition to her own business.
After Xia Wenhe realized that Xia Wanwan had no use to him, he first asked Xia Ningxi to help persuade Huo Nanxiao not to divorce him. After being ignored, he went crazy towards Xia Ningxi. When he realized that it was useless, he started to fawn over Xia Ningxi.
He would send people to deliver various coffees, milk teas, and fruits to the laboratory almost every day at a fixed time to reward Xia Ningxi, thinking that these small gifts would please her.
Xia Ningxi ignored Xia Wenhe; she wouldn't eat anything he brought, even if it ended up in the trash.
After Xia Wenhe had been serving afternoon tea for a week, he began to ask Xia Ningxi to help him get a project from Huo Nanxiao.
Xia Ningxi completely ignored him.
Xia Wenhe made various demands, all in an attempt to use Xia Ningxi to obtain projects that he was not qualified for, but all of them ended in failure.
Xia Wenhe suffered a huge blow and was full of resentment towards Xia Ningxi. However, he was helpless against Xia Ningxi and could only curse at Xia Wanwan, who was recuperating at home.
Xia Wenhe was exhausted from cursing, and pointed at Xia Wanwan, saying, "What use is it for me to support a piece of trash like you? You've already married Huo Nanxiao and still can't keep him. Now Huo Nanxiao is just giving you a little bit of shares to get rid of you. What's the difference between this and giving away a beggar?"
Xia Wanwan didn't dare to refute him, after all, Xia Wenhe was telling the truth.
Xia Wenhe continued to berate her: "You should have protected your mother back then and gone to jail yourself. Huo Nanxiao would have protected you because of your poor health. Now look what's happened! Your mother devoted herself to you, but you don't even have the courage to take the blame for her. You've been raised for nothing!"
Xia Wenhe was so exhausted from cursing that he sat at home drinking alone.
After a long period of recuperation at home, Xia Luoluo was finally able to walk normally again. She walked downstairs, looked at the mess inside the house, and smiled.
“Father, I’ve said it before: don’t put all your bets on Xia Wanwan. Someone like her is destined to be abandoned,” Xia Luoluo said sarcastically.
Xia Wenhe asked, "Why did you run down here instead of taking better care of your leg?"
“I want to help my father,” Charlotte replied.
Xia Wenhe snorted coldly: "Help me? It's already good enough if you don't make things worse. None of you sisters are easy to deal with. If you had even a little bit of Xia Ningxi's ability, you wouldn't be so disliked by Huo Nanxiao."
Xia Luoluo's eyes flashed with murderous intent: "Father, I will definitely not fail this time. I am not as foolish as Sister Wanwan."
"What do you want to do?" Xia Wanwan felt uneasy.
Xia Luoluo said, "I will marry Huo Nanxiao in your place."
Xia Wenhe was so angry he laughed. He pointed at Xia Wanwan and said, "Huo Nanxiao doesn't even want your sister, so why would he want you? Huo Nanxiao broke both your legs, so it's no wonder he wouldn't even look at you. Don't cause me any trouble!"
