Chapter 1013 You Don't Dare to Touch Her
The children had their own ideas. No matter how Huo Xiuyuan tempted them, they did not budge. They were willing to stay in the capital for a few days, but they were not willing to stay here indefinitely.
Xia Ningxi would not ask the children to stay.
As for Huo Xiuyuan, he was just the children's grandfather and couldn't interfere too much; he could only let the three children do as they pleased.
Huo Xiuyuan was very upset about this, so he called Huo Nanxiao upstairs and criticized him severely: "You haven't dealt with those dirty things outside yet? How long do you plan to drag this out?"
"What does Father want to say?" Huo Nanxiao was completely confused by the reprimand, as he had been handling his affairs quite well recently.
But Huo Xiuyuan was not satisfied at all, and said, "Aren't you going to give Ning Xi an explanation for what happened between you and Xia Luoluo? Even if she doesn't ask, you should still tell her."
“She knows that the child in Xia Luoluo’s belly isn’t mine,” Huo Nanxiao replied.
Huo Xiuyuan: "Then why is she still unwilling to bring the child back to live?"
"I don't know," Huo Nanxiao said calmly.
Huo Xiuyuan wanted to punch him: "You don't know? Who are you trying to fool? It must be because you did something too outrageous that she's still angry and doesn't want the child to come back to the Huo family. Look at what you've done all these years, ruining a perfectly good family like this for Xia Wanwan."
“Wanwan didn’t do anything wrong. Her family is the one who’s wrong. She’s also very pitiful,” Huo Nanxiao replied.
Huo Xiuyuan: "Don't give me that. If she could tell right from wrong, she wouldn't have allowed her family to do such a thing. She has only herself to blame and no one else is to blame."
“I know.” Huo Nanxiao said without further explanation.
Huo Xiuyuan said, "Don't get involved in the Xia family's affairs anymore. Just let them make a fuss. Over the years, they've all forgotten where they came from and are thinking of getting ahead in one step. Now let them see what they really are."
"Okay," Huo Nanxiao agreed.
He indeed stopped meddling in other people's business.
But he still keeps an eye on Xia Wanwan's situation.
No matter what Xia Wanwan did wrong, in Huo Nanxiao's heart, she was ultimately a pitiful person, and Huo Nanxiao did not want Xia Wanwan to die.
Huo Nanxiao paid for all her medical expenses during this period.
Xia Wenhe thought that Huo Nanxiao still cared about their past relationship, so he tried to find Huo Nanxiao several times, hoping that he would help the Xia Group. However, he was turned away. In the end, he could only ask Fu Xiyu, who had always been very kind to Xia Wanwan, for help.
Fu Xiyu readily agreed, but demanded that Xia Wenhe hand over the murderer who killed Xia Wanwan.
Xia Wenhe dared not push Xia Luoluo forward. He shook his head and said, "There is no murderer, Young Master Fu. This was an accident."
“This is not an accident. Wanwan is not the kind of person who would do something so drastic. Someone must have harmed her. You just need to tell me who is behind this, and I will naturally do what I promised you,” Fu Xiyu said.
Xia Wenhe's hands clenched tighter and tighter, but he finally sighed: "Even if I tell Young Master Fu, what then? Xia Ningxi has someone protecting her now, even you can't do anything to her."
“It couldn’t be Xia Ningxi. She wouldn’t be that stupid. If she really wanted to harm Xia Wanwan, she could have killed Wanwan simply by watching her fall. But she didn’t do that, which is enough to prove that Xia Ningxi isn’t such a vicious person.” Fu Xiyu didn’t believe it.
Xia Wenhe said, "Wanwan saw Xia Ningxi before the incident. If you don't believe me, you can send someone to investigate. I'm not lying, and I have no reason to lie to you."
“But Wanwan has also met Xia Luoluo,” Fu Xiyu replied.
Xia Wenhe said, "They are sisters. Even if they often quarrel, it will not affect their kinship, let alone kill each other. Luo Luo is not that stupid. She knows very well that Wanwan's accident will not do her any good. Therefore, the only suspect is Xia Ningxi, and it must be Xia Ningxi."
“You, as a father, speak quite eloquently, but I don’t believe you.” Fu Xiyu remained unconvinced.
Xia Wenhe said, "If Young Master Fu is unwilling to help, he can just say so. There's no need to play games with me like this. Deceiving you will do me no good."
Fu Xiyu remained silent for a long time, offering no answer.
However, he still helped the Xia family through their difficulties, and Fu Xiyu was even reprimanded by the Fu family for this.
As a result, Fu Xiyu was locked up at home by Fu Yanghui to reflect on his actions. This made Fu Mingyan extremely happy, and she complained to everyone, wanting the whole world to know that Fu Xiyu had been reprimanded for helping the Xia family.
After learning of Fu Yanghui's attitude, people outside were even less willing to do business with Xia Wenhe. They would immediately take a detour when they saw him, running away faster than rabbits.
The Xia family was in complete chaos, and Xia Wenhe could only place all his hopes on Xia Wanwan, even dreaming of her waking up.
He stayed by Xia Wanwan's side at the hospital for seven days and seven nights, constantly murmuring to himself in her ear. Even the hospital staff felt that Xia Wenhe had gone mad and advised him to get his brain checked.
Xia Wenhe ignored everyone and stayed by Xia Wanwan's side almost every step of the way.
During this period, Huo Nanxiao visited Xia Wanwan once, but he brought Xia Ningxi with him.
Xia Ningxi examined Xia Wanwan's body and then talked with her current attending physician for half an hour before leaving.
Huo Nanxiao asked worriedly, "How is Wanwan?"
"It still depends on her," Xia Ningxi said.
Huo Nanxiao: "What do you mean?"
Xia Ningxi: "The doctors have done all the medical measures they could. If she's lucky, she might wake up. If she's unlucky, she'll just have to stay in bed. She was really badly injured this time, and she's not in good health. If it were anyone else who fell from the second floor, most of them would be fine. She's just unlucky."
To put it bluntly, Xia Wanwan's health was too poor, and she hit her head when she fell. It's already a miracle that she survived. Asking for more is almost impossible.
Xia Ningxi looked out the window; the city lights were twinkling, and the dazzling night view was breathtaking.
"Actually, you shouldn't have gotten a divorce. At least wait a little longer, until she was healthier or more independent, and this wouldn't have happened today." Xia Ningxi sighed helplessly.
Huo Nanxiao said unhappily, "I don't owe her anything."
"And now? You know very well that she became like this because she insisted on divorcing you, and that's why she suffered retribution. If she had refused to divorce you back then, no one would have harmed her." Xia Ningxi met Huo Nanxiao's eyes.
Huo Nanxiao remained silent: "I know."
"I should go back now," Xia Ningxi said.
Huo Nanxiao didn't start the car. After a long silence, he couldn't help but ask, "Do you have any way to help her? I'll pay whatever it takes."
"There's very little a doctor can do in this situation; we can only leave it to fate. It's not that I'm unwilling to save her," Xia Ningxi replied.
Huo Nanxiao said heavily, "I understand."
He started the car and drove Xia Ningxi back to Lanyuan.
The three children were already asleep.
Xia Ningxi hadn't finished dealing with her own affairs yet, so she went to the study to hold a video conference. After it was over, she asked Tang En for some special medicine.
Tang En guessed it was for Xia Wanwan, so he didn't refuse and readily agreed. His only request was that Xia Ningxi return to Lingcheng as soon as possible.
Xia Ningxi smiled and said, "I'll go back next Monday."
“Bring the children back too,” Tang En said. “I’m afraid Huo Nanxiao will take them away.”
"We can't take them back. Grandpa and Grandma both want to play with the children. We can only take them after the summer vacation," Xia Ningxi said.
Tang En wasn't angry: "Fine, it's the same if you come back. Anyway, you're their biological child, so they won't disown you. As for the special medicine, its preservation is quite demanding, so let Huo Nanxiao send a special plane to escort it."
"Okay." Xia Ningxi hung up the phone.
She got up and left the study to find Huo Nanxiao.
This guy didn't sleep either. He just finished showering and sat down to work at the computer with his hair still wet.
Xia Ningxi pushed open the door and saw him working in a bathrobe. Not daring to disturb him, she quietly withdrew her foot.
"Where to?" Huo Nanxiao suddenly raised his head, his gaze cold and sharp.
Xia Ningxi raised her phone and said, "Tang En has agreed to give you a batch of special medicine. You can arrange for a private plane to escort it when you have time."
"How could he agree?" Huo Nanxiao was very surprised.
Xia Ningxi said, "Not a single penny less should be given."
