Chapter 968 Let her raise your child
Xia Luoluo wasn't that greedy. She knew what she wanted from the beginning: money and status, and an absolutely strong backing. Since men were unreliable and she didn't have that much ability herself, she would rely on her child.
This child will become her greatest support in the future.
Thinking of this, Xia Luoluo couldn't help but feel happy, and the corners of her mouth turned up in a smile that she could hardly suppress.
Her smug look was ridiculous to Huo Nanxiao. He knew what Xia Luoluo wanted, but he wouldn't mention it. He said, "If you don't want to raise the child, you can leave the child behind. I will find a suitable person to raise the child."
"What do you mean?" Xia Luoluo was completely shocked.
Huo Nanxiao said, "You want the child, and you want to have it. If you don't want it, I can take care of it for you, that's all."
Xia Luoluo became anxious: "No, this is also your child. You must treat it the same way you treat Huo Yuan!"
Huo Nanxiao chuckled lightly, looking at her without saying a word, but the coldness in his eyes was clear to everyone.
Xia Luoluo clenched her fists, feeling a chill run down her spine from Huo Nanxiao's piercing gaze. She knew very well what had happened that night, and she also knew that Huo Nanxiao wouldn't be a fool so easily; it was already quite kind of him not to kill her.
At this time, you can't confront Huo Nanxiao head-on.
Thinking of this, Xia Luoluo's gaze quickly fixed on Xia Wanwan. She suddenly reached out and tightly grasped Xia Wanwan's hand with astonishing force.
Xia Wanwan's expression was not good. She tried to break free from Xia Luoluo's hand several times, but she could not shake it off no matter how hard she struggled. She was secretly angry, but she also knew the principle of shared glory. If she trampled Xia Luoluo under her feet at this moment, how would she be any better off?
“Nan Xiao, Luo Luo is pregnant, and the news has already spread. I think this matter should be handled properly, otherwise it will be criticized by those with ulterior motives,” Xia Wanwan said, mustering her courage.
Huo Nanxiao, who was already in a bad mood, became even angrier after hearing this. He sneered, "In your opinion, how should this matter be handled?"
The problem fell on Xia Wanwan's shoulders, but how was she supposed to know how to handle this?
But when Huo Nanxiao asked the question, everyone's eyes were focused on Xia Wanwan, and the criticism was directed at her.
Strictly speaking, Xia Wanwan is Huo Nanxiao's wife, and Xia Luoluo is her younger sister. They are blood relatives, so the person who should speak out in this situation is not Huo Nanxiao, but Xia Wanwan.
Huo Nanxiao also wanted to know what Xia Wanwan was thinking at this moment. Did she approve of everything Xia Luoluo did, or did she disagree with Xia Luoluo's actions?
Huo Nanxiao needed an answer, and he also wanted to see just how far Xia Wanwan would go for this younger sister.
"Nan Xiao, I don't know what to do." Xia Wanwan lowered her eyes, her voice very hoarse.
"Don't know?" Huo Nanxiao narrowed his eyes dangerously; clearly, he didn't like this answer.
Xia Wenhe glared fiercely at Xia Wanwan and warned in a low voice, "Speak properly!"
Xia Wanwan's hands were clenched tightly.
The family was unwilling to speak up at this time, fearing they would suffer losses.
Huo Xiuyuan saw right through this little scheme, which was why he looked down on this family. He picked up Chu Chu, who had two little braids, and asked, "My dear granddaughter, do you want a younger brother or sister?"
Chu Chu raised her pretty little face and asked innocently, "Was she born to a mistress? If so, I don't like her."
Huo Xiuyuan nodded and said to Huo Nanxiao, "You can only keep one of them. I already told them before you came that if they want the Huo family to take responsibility for Xia Luoluo's child, Xia Wanwan must divorce you. The Huo family cannot accept both of them at the same time. You need to carefully consider who to keep and who to give up."
"Okay." Huo Nanxiao readily agreed and said to Xia Wanwan, "You make the decision on this matter."
"Do you want a divorce?" Xia Wanwan's voice trembled.
Huo Nanxiao said, "The choice has always been in your hands."
Xia Wanwan's eyes reddened: "Really? But what can I do?"
"You're a smart man; there are some things I don't need to say for you to understand," Huo Nanxiao said calmly.
Xia Wanwan understood that Huo Nanxiao wanted her to make this decision. If she wanted to continue relying on Huo Nanxiao to live a good life in the capital, she had to get rid of Xia Luoluo, this troublesome person.
If Xia Wanwan is unwilling to deal with Xia Luoluo herself, then she can expect to be dealt with.
Huo Nanxiao has a good relationship with Xia Wanwan and feels sorry for her being sick and helpless for so many years, but that doesn't mean that her family can use some tricks to blackmail Huo Nanxiao.
Huo Nanxiao had already walked to the family of three and sat down patiently. He said to the maid, "Prepare some juice for the child."
"Okay." The maid immediately withdrew.
Within minutes, they brought over several kinds of juice and also prepared a lot of snacks and treats that the children like.
Xia Luoluo felt bad seeing this scene. They had been here for so long, and they hadn't even had a sip of tea, let alone some snacks.
These three little bastards are really well treated. When they grow up, they might inherit the Huo family's fortune. They could squander even a small portion of this huge estate for a lifetime.
Xia Luoluo finally had a chance to climb the social ladder, and she absolutely wasn't going to let it go!
Thinking of this, her fierce gaze fell on Xia Wanwan, and she said, "Sister Wanwan, this child is Nan Xiao's. You can't bear to see the child without a father, can you?"
Xia Wanwan harbored resentment, but she knew very well that whatever decision she made now would be wrong. She asked, "What do you want?"
Charlotte said, "I just want my child to have a legitimate identity."
Xia Wanwan understood. She found it ridiculous. She carefully recalled everything she had experienced during this period. Although she had successfully married Huo Nanxiao, she was not recognized and was humiliated by outsiders. She had not gained any benefits. On the contrary, her good sister had benefited from everything.
No matter how fiercely people outside criticize her, it has no effect on Xia Luoluo. Her older sister may seem glamorous, but in reality, everyone else is doing better than her.
Xia Wanwan said, "You want me to get a divorce, right?"
Xia Luolu hesitated.
Seeing this, Huo Xiuyuan's eyes were full of disdain. He boiled a kettle of water, brewed some tea himself, and slowly drank it.
Qu Huilan ate her snacks with a smile, also waiting for the show to begin.
All the choices seemed to fall on the Xia family, but it was clear to everyone that the initiative still lay with the Huo family.
Xia Wenhe thought about it again and again and realized that his two daughters were sacrificing for each other, which was not the situation he wanted to see. He said, "There is no need to go to the point of divorce. Wanwan is in poor health and probably cannot have children. After this child is born, we might as well adopt him under Wanwan's name and raise him as her child."
"No way!" Xia Luoluo was a little agitated; she clearly couldn't accept this arrangement.
Xia Wenhe glared at her fiercely, signaling her to shut up.
