Chapter 733 Taking the Blame
Xia Ningxi was convinced, and even a little confused.
Fu Mingyan deliberately pushed Xia Wanwan forward, saying, "Aren't you going to do anything about Nan Xiao? He's your fiancé now. People who don't know the situation would think that you two have no feelings for each other at all. How can you quarrel over Xia Ningxi? Aren't you going to do anything about it?"
Xia Wanwan's face darkened. Fu Mingyan could have stepped in to stop it, so why did she have to call her in at a time like this?
Huo Nanxiao fought with Li Yancheng for Xia Ningxi's sake. Outsiders weren't laughing at them; they were clearly watching Xia Wanwan.
At this moment, Xia Wanwan didn't know what to do. Stepping forward to stop it was wrong, and running away from the scene was also wrong. No matter what reaction she made, she would become a laughing stock in everyone's eyes. She was now quite certain that Fu Mingyan held this banquet just to see her make a fool of herself.
But what could Xia Wanwan say at this moment? She had no background or status, unlike Fu Mingyan who was born into a noble family and lived a life of luxury since childhood, with everyone pampering her.
Xia Wanwan could only rely on Huo Nanxiao. Without Huo Nanxiao's help, the Xia family was nothing, and she wouldn't even be qualified to step into this place.
what to do?
Xia Wanwan could only turn to Xia Ningxi for help, "Ningxi, you brought Young Master Li here. He has always been at odds with Nan Xiao. You should try to persuade him."
Xia Ningxi raised an eyebrow: "Why don't you try to persuade Huo Nanxiao?"
"I..." Xia Wanwan was speechless for a moment. How could she possibly persuade Huo Nanxiao? When had he ever listened to her? If he had really listened to Xia Wanwan, the Xia Group wouldn't have ended up in this state, and the entire Xia family wouldn't have become a laughing stock in everyone's eyes.
At that moment, Xia Wanwan had no idea whether Xia Ningxi was deliberately mocking her.
Xia Ningxi: "What? Hurry up and pull them away! If they start fighting, you'll be the one who loses face."
Xia Wanwan had no choice but to do as Qin Weiqian said, quickly pulling Huo Nanxiao away and stopping the two from fighting.
But Huo Nanxiao was clearly unhappy with Xia Wanwan's actions and said unhappily, "Don't interfere."
"With so many people watching, you'll make a fool of yourself," Xia Wanwan whispered a reminder.
Huo Nanxiao: "Who are you laughing at? I told you, don't worry about it."
He didn't take Xia Wanwan's words to heart.
Taking the opportunity, Li Yancheng mocked, "Miss Xia, can't you see? Huo Nanxiao wants to have his cake and eat it too. He wants you by his side, but he also wants to possess Xia Ningxi. To put it bluntly, he can't bear to part with Xia Ningxi. Are you really willing to entrust the rest of your life to someone like that?"
Xia Wanwan didn't speak, but looked at Huo Nanxiao, "You don't need to pay attention to him. He just can't stand to see you doing well. He's deliberately provoking you to make things worse. The Huo family's reputation has been greatly affected recently. Li Yancheng is obviously deliberately smearing the Huo family to make your life difficult."
"Heh, Xia Wanwan, you're so understanding. But I'm sorry to disappoint you, I have no interest in Huo Nanxiao or the Huo family. All I've ever wanted is one person. As for Huo Nanxiao, I find it strange. He's already divorced, so why is he still thinking about someone who doesn't belong to him? Has he forgotten that he has you as his fiancée? Or does Huo Nanxiao simply not want to marry you?"
Li Yancheng's voice changed as he spoke, his eyes filled with mockery and disdain as he looked at Xia Wanwan: "Perhaps Huo Nanxiao never intended to marry you, his savior. Miss Xia, being rejected by him, you'll probably never get married in this lifetime. I'm curious, how are you going to live the rest of your life?"
As soon as these words were spoken, the entire room fell silent. All the sounds turned into countless burning gazes fixed on Xia Wanwan, and everyone was waiting to see her make a fool of herself.
In fact, everyone knows Xia Wanwan's identity and background. She is willing to be a third party, which at least confirms that no wealthy family in the capital city that cares about its reputation would allow Xia Wanwan to enter their home.
Apart from Huo Nanxiao, Xia Wanwan's dream of marrying into a wealthy family has been completely shattered.
But what if Huo Nanxiao doesn't marry her?
Xia Wanwan bit her lip tightly and remained silent, tears welling up in her eyes.
Li Yancheng continued to watch her make a fool of herself.
Xia Ningxi realized that Li Yancheng was saying these things on purpose, partly to humiliate Xia Wanwan, and partly to force Huo Nanxiao to make a decision.
She grabbed Li Yancheng's sleeve, her eyes filled with warning.
Li Yancheng smiled at her and continued to humiliate Xia Wanwan: "Why aren't you saying anything? Is it because you're not sure if Huo Nanxiao will take responsibility for you? No way, is Huo Nanxiao really that heartless? Isn't this forcing you to your death?"
Xia Wanwan's expression turned even uglier.
Everyone could see from Huo Nanxiao's actions today that he still had feelings for Xia Ningxi, and those feelings were very deep. Otherwise, he wouldn't have fought with Li Yancheng in front of so many people.
Huo Nanxiao divorced Xia Ningxi because he loved Xia Wanwan more. He was even willing to break with his father for Xia Wanwan. Such a person should love Xia Wanwan wholeheartedly. Why did he fight with Li Yancheng for Xia Ningxi?
Could it be that Xia Wanwan was just a joke from beginning to end?
Originally, she could only rely on Huo Nanxiao's love for her to exchange for wealth and status, but if Huo Nanxiao no longer loved her, how could Xia Wanwan have a good life?
Doubtful, mocking, puzzled, and mixed gazes all fell on Xia Wanwan.
Xia Wanwan felt utterly ashamed.
Xia Ningxi grabbed Li Yancheng and whispered, "Don't say anything more."
"What are you afraid of? I think everyone is also curious whether Huo Nanxiao will really give Xia Wanwan an explanation." Li Yancheng continued to press.
Xia Ningxi: "His affairs have nothing to do with you, why are you meddling so much?"
Li Yancheng: "Of course, I need to confirm with my rival beforehand whether he is getting married. If he truly likes Xia Wanwan, he will definitely keep his distance from you, instead of fighting over another woman here. I think Huo Nanxiao's fiancée won't be able to swallow this insult, will she?"
Xia Ningxi now understood that Li Yancheng was purely there to attack Huo Nanxiao and Xia Wanwan, and he certainly wouldn't give them any face. It was already a miracle that he didn't humiliate them.
Unfortunately, Li Yancheng likes to use himself as a scapegoat, always using her as an excuse. If he wants to cause trouble for Huo Nanxiao, he can do it himself. Xia Wanwan will probably hold a grudge against her again. I wonder what Huo Nanxiao is thinking. Thinking about it carefully, it probably won't be a good thing.
Xia Ningxi wanted to leave this place of trouble as soon as possible, lest everyone think that she was the one who dragged Li Yancheng over to humiliate him. That would be too unfair for her, and she didn't want to be burdened with such a big accusation for no reason.
