Chapter 896 They won't fight, will they?
When Huo Nanxiao turned around, he saw Xia Ningxi sitting in a row with three little ones, eating melon seeds and watching the show. He frowned.
Xia Wanwan followed Huo Nanxiao's gaze and saw Xia Ningxi. For some reason, Xia Ningxi seemed extremely irritating to her at this moment.
As the older sister, Xia Wanwan didn't dislike Xia Ningxi much, but recent events combined to make her resent Xia Ningxi.
She lowered her voice and asked Huo Nanxiao, "Are you angry because of my family?"
"You're here for dinner today," Huo Nanxiao reminded him.
Xia Wanwan: "She also has the surname Xia. We are family. Luo Luo is my sister, that's true. Isn't she Xia Ningxi's sister too?"
“It’s different.” Huo Nanxiao’s voice was extremely cold.
Xia Wanwan smiled bitterly: "Yes, Luo Luo did go too far, but everything she did was for me. You have already punished her, so let's not bring it up again."
Xia Ningxi was in a car accident, but at least she was unharmed and was discharged from the hospital early on.
Xia Luoluo's arms and legs were broken, and she is currently confined at home to recover.
The Xia family has given Xia Ningxi an explanation, which can be considered as indulging her. Isn't that enough?
Although Xia Wanwan hated Xia Luoluo, sisters don't hold grudges overnight. Xia Luoluo had been very well-behaved lately and had been repenting. She felt that this matter should be over. Could it be that Xia Ningxi was unwilling to move on?
Perhaps the problem lies with Xia Ningxi.
Xia Wanwan composed herself and walked towards Xia Ningxi's direction with a smile.
Several onlookers immediately grabbed their melon seeds.
Xia Ningxi casually tossed the sunflower seed shells into the trash can, clapped her hands, and said to the three children, "Dinner is ready."
"Okay!" the little ones said in unison, standing up in unison and heading to the kitchen to get the bowls and chopsticks.
"Ning Xi, you've worked hard," Xia Wanwan said softly.
Xia Ningxi: "It must have been quite tiring, so please don't come next time."
Xia Wanwan's face froze for a moment, and she didn't know how to answer.
Xia Ningxi ignored her and turned to enter the restaurant.
Others also gradually took their seats.
Dinner consisted of a standard five-dish meal with a soup, all of which were Xia Jingcheng's specialties and enjoyed by the children.
Having grown accustomed to delicacies, Xia Wanwan was surprised to discover that Xia Jingcheng was such a good cook: "Brother Jingcheng's cooking is really good, even better than the dishes made by chefs in seven-star restaurants."
"You really are hungry," Xia Jingcheng replied casually, ignoring Xia Wanwan's attempt to please him.
Xia Wanwan said very seriously, "I'm telling the truth."
“Okay, let’s settle the bill according to the seven-star restaurant’s price when we leave,” Xia Jingcheng said slowly.
The meat that Xia Wanwan was about to put in her mouth got stuck in mid-air, and she opened her eyes wide in disbelief.
Xia Jingcheng didn't even glance at her and continued eating.
"Okay." Xia Wanwan, who had been feeling awkward for a while, forced herself to reply with just one word.
The three little ones were laughing so hard they almost choked, each trying their best to suppress their laughter and shoveling rice into their mouths.
Xia Wanwan felt extremely superfluous.
The same awkward situation did not happen to Huo Nanxiao, because he was already used to Xia Jingcheng's sarcastic remarks. Huo Nanxiao had never heard a nice word from him and tried to minimize conflicts in daily life.
Especially when they arrived at Xia Jingcheng's territory, Huo Nanxiao remained completely silent.
Huo Nanxiao enjoyed his dinner immensely, but Xia Wanwan found it tasteless.
After finally having eaten and drunk her fill, Xia Wanwan secretly glanced at her phone balance and silently transferred 20,000 yuan to Xia Jingcheng.
They're all family, and the cost of this meal wouldn't exceed five hundred yuan. She was certain Xia Jingcheng wouldn't charge that much.
Xia Jingcheng would never accept money for any reputation he wants!
There's no reason for an older brother to charge his younger sister when she comes to his house for a meal!
Xia Wanwan put on a very good show, but once the money was transferred, Xia Jingcheng accepted it without saying a word.
Xia Wanwan's heart sank.
"Thank you." Xia Jingcheng waved his phone to indicate that he had received the money.
Xia Wanwan gave a forced smile: "We're all family, no need to say thank you."
Xia Jingcheng: "Next time you two come to freeload a meal, you need to let me know in advance, and you can't skimp on the amount you owe."
"Okay." Xia Wanwan was so embarrassed that she dug her toes into the ground.
Xia Jingcheng didn't care about her pale face and looked at Huo Nanxiao: "We're charging per person today. Mr. Huo won't be short of money, will he?"
"Do I have to pay too?" Huo Nanxiao frowned.
Xia Jingcheng: "You're not human?"
Huo Nanxiao choked, but he didn't say anything more and directly transferred one million to Xia Jingcheng's account.
Xia Jingcheng counted for a while before he could count the zeros after the 1. He sneered, "President Huo has a lot of money. I wonder if this is a monthly allowance or your and your wife's food expenses?"
"If you are a couple, I advise you not to come again. After all, I feel disgusted just looking at you."
Xia Wanwan, who was still eating, couldn't eat another bite. Although she had already paid, Xia Jingcheng's words...
Seeing that she was about to cry, Xia Ningxi coughed lightly at Xia Jingcheng, "You've already taken the money."
“That’s true.” Xia Jingcheng smiled and said to Huo Nanxiao and Xia Wanwan sitting opposite him, “Enjoy your meal, it will definitely be worth it.”
Huo Nanxiao remained silent, no matter what Xia Jingcheng said, he was already used to it.
Xia Wanwan couldn't get used to it; her eyes were constantly red, and she didn't eat much.
The three little ones found it incredibly appetizing, especially seeing their frustrated expressions. The three children ate nine bowls of rice in one go, until their bellies were completely full.
When Xingxing saw Huo Nanxiao about to take the last chicken wing for Xia Wanwan, she quickly snatched it away and put it in Xia Ningxi's bowl.
Xia Wanwan, who already had no appetite, couldn't eat anything more. She put down her chopsticks and politely said, "I'm done eating."
Xingxing blinked: "Really? But you don't seem to have eaten much."
“I have a small appetite,” Xia Wanwan replied.
"Then I won't be polite." Xingxing ate the last piece of chicken wing.
After the meal, everyone knew that this family did not welcome them.
Even after Xia Wanwan came to the Huo family, she had never been treated so badly. At most, Huo Xiuyuan would criticize her for not being good enough for Huo Nanxiao, but he would never resort to such petty tricks.
Xia Wanwan knew that Xingxing was targeting her, but what could she, as an adult, say to Xingxing? She could only swallow her anger.
Xia Ningxi didn't welcome the couple in the first place. If Huo Nanxiao hadn't been so shameless, Xia Wanwan wouldn't have been here.
At the dinner table, Xia Wanwan had suffered such a great injustice, yet Huo Nanxiao remained silent, leaving Xia Ningxi quite puzzled.
Did Huo Nanxiao not see it?
They were all sitting at the same table; it was impossible for Huo Nanxiao not to see them.
He can actually tolerate it?
Xia Ningxi was completely baffled and gave Xia Jingcheng a complicated look.
Xia Jingcheng went into the kitchen, and Xia Ningxi followed right behind.
"One million. Huo Nanxiao transferred one million to me. Should I accept it?" Xia Jingcheng asked.
Xia Ningxi said, "Of course I'll accept it. Why wouldn't I? He gave it to me voluntarily."
"Won't they start fighting once they leave through this door?" Xia Jingcheng added.
