Chapter 838 Sister Wanwan, do you deserve it?
The circle is only so big, and the Huo family is the number one wealthy family in the capital. Huo Nanxiao's status and position are enough to make everyone pay attention to this matter.
It's actually quite normal for top-tier wealthy families like theirs to divorce and remarry, but Huo Nanxiao's situation has been the subject of much gossip.
Everyone knows that his first wife is an exceptionally outstanding woman, not only beautiful but also highly capable, with various wealthy families vying to win her favor.
Xia Wanwan's reputation was ruined; she was also a fraud.
If she hadn't deceived Huo Nanxiao and smeared the Huo family everywhere, how could Huo Nanxiao have possibly married her?
Now look what's happened; it was all Xia Wanwan's trap, and Xia Ningxi has run off with someone else.
Ji Feibai: "Now everyone's laughing at us."
"Nan Xiao, you have no idea how many people are paying attention to this. This Xia Wanwan is really something. She knows she didn't save you, so how dare she keep bothering you?"
"If she had any shame at all, she wouldn't have done such a thing. And you, why are you so soft-hearted? If you just let it go, she's not going to die. After all, she's a member of the Xia family. Could Xia Wenhe really kill her?"
Ultimately, it all comes down to Huo Nanxiao being too soft-hearted and having too much tolerance for Xia Wanwan.
Even as friends, they couldn't stand it anymore.
Fu Xiyu wanted to defend Xia Wanwan, but Ji Feibai shut him down before he could say more than a few words.
Huo Nanxiao didn't listen to his friends continue arguing and hung up the video call.
The hotel offered breakfast, but Huo Nanxiao didn't eat it. After finishing his work, he went to the Ling family's company.
Inside the meeting room, the two sides had a pleasant conversation. In her work, Ling Shuang was meticulous and organized, handling every aspect of the cooperation to the best of her ability.
But after the meeting ended and everyone else left, Ling Shuang realized that Huo Nanxiao still had something to say, so she didn't rush to run away.
"Mr. Huo, you've come to the company so early, there must be something else you want to discuss, right?" Ling Shuang asked with a smile.
Huo Nanxiao: "When did she return to China?"
"Xia Ningxi? That seems to have nothing to do with you anymore, doesn't it?" Ling Shuang asked back.
Huo Nanxiao solemnly closed the file on the table: "We're all sensible people, there's no need to hide anything at a time like this."
Ling Shuang smiled and said, "Xia Ningxi came back with Jiang Bei. Now she is not only Jiang Bei's attending physician, but also a guest of honor in our Ling family. She didn't want to tell you because she wanted to stay away from you."
“Now, Xia Ningxi is under the protection of the Ling family. You can’t see her without her permission. I advise President Huo to cherish the person in front of you and stop thinking about people who no longer belong to you.”
Her words were full of reminders and mockery.
Everyone knows that Xia Ningxi is Huo Nanxiao's first wife, but how many people know that Huo Nanxiao could abandon his wife and several young children for Xia Wanwan?
Ling Shuang got up and left.
"Stop!" Huo Nanxiao suddenly said.
Ling Shuang stopped and turned around: "Xia Wanwan is waiting for President Huo outside. You should go and see her."
She's not some nobody that Huo Nanxiao can easily manipulate.
From the moment Huo Nanxiao stepped into the company, Ling Shuang knew he would definitely ask about Xia Ningxi.
As a business partner, Ling Shuang couldn't afford to break ties with him for Xia Ningxi's sake, but she did have the means to bring Xia Wanwan to the company to deal with Huo Nanxiao.
After leaving the conference room, Ling Shuang asked her secretary to inform Xia Wanwan, who indeed followed the path to find Huo Nanxiao.
Huo Nanxiao did not press Xia Ningxi further.
Huo Nanxiao remained silent throughout the journey back.
Xia Wanwan sat next to him and could clearly feel the nameless anger emanating from Huo Nanxiao.
There's no doubt he's angry.
But Xia Wanwan had no way of knowing who she was angry with.
"Is work not going well?" Xia Wanwan asked.
Huo Nanxiao said, "It went very smoothly."
"Then you..." Xia Wanwan hesitated, as if she had thought of something, and asked, "Is it because of Ning Xi?"
“You shouldn’t have come here,” Huo Nanxiao replied.
Xia Wanwan's eyes reddened: "Are you blaming me?"
"You should go back now."
Both sentences were extremely cold.
Xia Wanwan could also see that Huo Nanxiao didn't want her to stay here, and even less did he want her to appear in front of him.
There was a time when Huo Nanxiao was devoted to her and took care of her in every way.
But for some reason, Xia Wanwan could only see indifference in Huo Nanxiao now.
That's right, he was quite indifferent to her.
Xia Wanwan's heart was breaking, the pain was suffocating, but she could only pretend to be strong: "If you don't want me to stay in Lingcheng, I can go back, but before I go back, I need to figure everything out. Are you letting me go so that I can go find Xia Ningxi?"
Ye Su, who was driving in the front seat, tightened her grip on the steering wheel and pricked up her ears to eavesdrop.
Huo Nanxiao, however, did not give her any answer.
Xia Wanwan was startled and realized what was happening. She gave a wry smile and looked out the window.
They remained silent the entire way.
Even after arriving at their hotel, Huo Nanxiao remained silent and went straight back to his room.
Xia Wanwan was in a restless mood, and Xia Luoluo noticed it too.
"Sister, this can't just be left like this." Xia Luoluo was very angry.
Xia Wanwan asked, "What else can I do?"
"Of course, we should drive Xia Ningxi away and make her disappear completely," Xia Luoluo replied.
Xia Wanwan gave a bitter smile: "Disappear? You make it sound so easy. Xia Ningxi is a living, breathing person. She hasn't bothered me in any way. I have no right to make her disappear."
"Her return to China is a provocation against you, can't you see that?" Xia Luoluo questioned.
Xia Wanwan: "That's her freedom."
"No wonder Mother said you're a good-for-nothing and looks down on you. Who would respect you if you act like this? Huo Nanxiao has clearly not wanted to talk to you these past few days, and you still don't know how to repent." Xia Luoluo was exasperated.
If she were Xia Wanwan, how could Xia Ningxi be so arrogant? She would have made Xia Ningxi disappear from this world long ago, okay?
Only a good-for-nothing like Xia Wanwan could be bullied like this.
Xia Luoluo was seething with anger. Although she was jealous of Xia Wanwan and didn't want Xia Wanwan to have an easy life, she didn't want Xia Ningxi to have an easy life either.
She knew perfectly well how special Huo Nanxiao's attitude towards Xia Ningxi was; in Huo Nanxiao's heart, Xia Ningxi was always an insurmountable figure.
As long as Xia Ningxi is around, the Xia family will never be able to rest easy.
Judging from Huo Nanxiao's recent attitude towards Xia Wanwan, his feelings for her are nothing special.
"Shall I go see Xia Ningxi on my sister's behalf? That way I can see what Xia Ningxi is really up to?" Xia Luoluo asked tentatively.
Xia Wanwan said, "You might not be able to see her."
"Just trust me, sister," Xia Luoluo reassured her with a smile.
Xia Wanwan didn't know what her younger sister was planning, but she really wanted to see Xia Ningxi alone, so she could only let Xia Luoluo do it.
Three days later, Xia Luoluo successfully approached Xia Ningxi.
She blocked Xia Ningxi's way at the hospital entrance.
"Let's talk," Xia Luoluo said simply and decisively.
Xia Ningxi glanced around and didn't see Xia Wanwan. She was surprised: "Are you alone?"
"Xia Wanwan asked me to come." Xia Luoluo opened the car door and reminded her, "You don't want us to keep bothering you, do you? Let's find a place to have a good talk."
Xia Ningxi knew that the two sisters wouldn't give up, so she simply got into the car.
The car drove to the suburbs and arrived at a private coffee shop.
The coffee shop was large, but there wasn't a single customer, though there were a dozen or so bodyguards.
"No need to look, we've booked this place, there's no one else here." Xia Luoluo guessed what Xia Ningxi was thinking and said bluntly.
Xia Ningxi scoffed and went inside.
As she expected, Xia Wanwan was indeed waiting for her in the coffee shop.
Are these two sisters just bored and have nothing better to do?
"You seem to have a lot of free time," Xia Ningxi sneered.
Xia Wanwan said, "I'm still sick, so I really have nothing to do."
"You're the one who's been hiring a private investigator to follow me 24/7 these past few days, aren't you?" Xia Ningxi asked.
Xia Wanwan: "Luo Luo made it."
“I’ve already divorced Huo Nanxiao, you don’t need to make such a fuss,” Xia Ningxi said.
Xia Wanwan gave a bitter smile: "You've already divorced him, but he hasn't let you go. He came to Lingcheng on a business trip this time, which was originally scheduled for a week, but it dragged on for a whole half month because of you. He's been looking for you the whole time."
"And then?" Xia Ningxi asked in return.
Xia Wanwan said, "Since you are already divorced, I naturally don't want this to happen. After all, I am Huo Nanxiao's wife now."
"Then go and take care of him. Why are you coming to me? You can't even control your own husband, can you?" Xia Ningxi chuckled.
Xia Wanwan wasn't angry. "Rather than saying that Nan Xiao can't let go of you, it's more accurate to say that he can't let go of the child."
“The child has nothing to do with him.” Xia Ningxi’s voice was cold.
Xia Wanwan: "But they are also Nan Xiao's children. You shouldn't deprive him of his right to visit his children."
Whoosh—
Xia Ningxi picked up the water on the table and splashed it on her face.
Xia Wanwan was completely stunned. She hadn't expected Xia Ningxi to be so crazy and stared at her in disbelief.
Xia Ningxi slammed her water glass on the table without ceremony, saying each word clearly, "You are not worthy to mention my child, much less worthy to threaten me with Huo Nanxiao. Don't think that just because you've climbed up to him, you can be arrogant and criticize me in front of me. Do you even deserve it?"
Xia Wanwan trembled all over. She took a tissue and wiped the water off her face little by little, saying, "If you don't want to have anything to do with Nan Xiao, you shouldn't have come back to the country, and you shouldn't have appeared in front of him so ostentatiously."
"Ha? Why should I listen to you? Are you thinking that if I disappear completely, you can live a peaceful life as the eldest young mistress of the Huo family?" Xia Ningxi sneered.
Xia Wanwan clenched her hands tightly.
Xia Ningxi: "If I wanted to compete with you, you would never be able to marry into the Huo family in this lifetime. If you can't control your man, look for the reasons within yourself. Coming to me is useless."
Xia Wanwan laughed in anger: "If that incident hadn't happened back then, do you think you would have been qualified to marry him? Huo Nanxiao didn't even have you in his heart back then."
Xia Ningxi, who was about to turn and leave, heard this and her gaze fell on Xia Wanwan: "Sister Wanwan, all you can do is bring up things from six years ago. You took someone else's life-saving grace and enjoyed honors that didn't belong to you. You can still be so shameless. You really are one of a kind."
