Chapter 867 Rushing to please my Ning Xi
Xia Ningxi didn't know what to say to her.
I could only stay silent.
Fu Mingyan seemed to have found an outlet to vent her anger. She babbled some unpleasant words, which left Zhou Fenglin speechless.
But Zhou Fenglin didn't want to be defeated just like that, with so many guests watching.
Seeing Ling Xiao next to her, Zhou Fenglin laughed: "Are you with Mr. Ling? That child should be taken to the Ling family in the future and have the same surname as the Ling family. Mr. Huo will not be stupid enough to give up his surname. The child will inherit the Huo family's property."
After a pause, Zhou Fenglin asked Ling Xiao with a smile: "Mr. Ling, I think you and Ning Xi have a very good relationship. When do you plan to get married?"
"This is my private matter." Ling Xiao was polite.
Zhou Fenglin: "We are all a family, and nothing is personal or private. Although I have no blood relationship with Ning Xi, I can still be considered her stepmother. We are a family member with you. It is not too much to tell me the wedding date."
"I've never heard of you, and I don't think Ning Xi is familiar with you either. Although she is rich and powerful now, you don't have to feel too inferior and rush to please Ning Xi." Ling Xiao put on a condescending air. posture, scolding her.
Zhou Fenglin's face turned green, "Mr. Ling is really good at joking! How can I please her?"
"Didn't you invite her to the birthday banquet just to take advantage of this opportunity to get close to her?" Ling Xiao pretended to be surprised, her face full of suspicion.
Zhou Fenglin felt even worse than eating a fly. She didn't expect that a grown man like Ling Xiao had such a mean mouth, compared to that bastard Li Yancheng.
Xia Ningxi, a bitch, is really lucky. After leaving Huo Nanxiao, she still has a man to protect her. If Wanwan and Luoluo can also have someone to protect her sincerely, why would their family want to see Xia Ningxi's face?
The more he thought about it, the more Zhou Fenglin hated Xia Ningxi and wanted to tear her into pieces.
Zhou Fenglin said: "Xia Ningxi is a member of the Xia family and has always been a member of the Xia family. I asked her to return to the Imperial City to attend her stepmother's birthday party. How could she refuse?"
"I am very happy that Mr. Ling will protect Xia Ningxi if we don't talk about two families. However, please remember that this is the Imperial City, not Ling City, and it is not your Ling family's territory!"
She left angrily after saying a few words.
The other guests looked at Ling Xiao, wondering how he would react.
They thought that Lingxiao would be angry, fight with the Xia family, and stand up for Xia Ningxi, but Lingxiao just smiled contemptuously, and suddenly ignored Zhou Fenglin, and almost everything she said was ignored. Ling Xiao took it as a joke.
For a person of his status, there is really no need to argue with Zhou Fenglin. It is meaningless and can easily lower his worth.
Xia Ningxi was even more calm, unfazed by honor or disgrace.
The two couples looked like a couple who knew each other very well. One was calmer than the other. They exuded an unattainable temperament and did not take any ants in their eyes.
Those guests who were waiting for a fight between Xia Ningxi and Zhou Fenglin's family felt regretful that they could not see the fight.
Similarly, they also saw the difference between Xia Ningxi and Xia Wanwan.
One is calm and noble, the other is frivolous and vulgar, there is a huge difference.
Xia Wanwan, who was originally unlovable, became even more hateful under Zhou Fenglin's background, all because she had such an unworthy mother who hated her.
Today is the Xia family's home court, but their situation is very difficult.
Even the onlookers who didn't care about the dispute between the two sides noticed the strangeness.
Helian Jue was sipping his wine, listening to the discussion not far away, and said to Fu Xiyu, "There's going to be a lot of trouble today. Is the Xia family out of their minds? How can they have the nerve to invite Xia Ningxi here?"
"They are a family, why can't Xia Ningxi come?" Fu Xiyu asked.
He Lianjue: "Xia Wanwan's family has done something disgraceful. This is enough to make them unable to hold their heads high in front of Xia Ningxi for the rest of their lives."
"The matter has passed, and the person involved didn't say anything." Fu Xiyu was dissatisfied.
Helianjue looked at him thoughtfully, hiding something in his heart.
Ji Feibai: "The Xia family really shouldn't have invited Xia Ningxi here. Everyone is treating their family like monkeys right now."
Jin Mingxi: "They are quite brave. It seems they want to take advantage of Xia Ningxi, but they didn't expect Lingxiao to come with them."
"The Ling family is the richest man in Lingcheng, and Lingxiao is the eldest son. His status is extraordinary. Xia Ningxi is very lucky, and she has lots of peach blossoms around her." Ji Feibai couldn't help but sigh.
Beauties of Xia Ningxi's level are not uncommon. Others are good-looking but not talented, but Xia Ningxi is good-looking and talented and is a member of the world's top medical team. She is a top talent everywhere. Delicious.
Rich families like to find such people to marry.
Ling Xiao probably also took a fancy to Xia Ningxi's identity and fell in love with her, so that's why he was so nice to Xia Ningxi.
"Some time ago, there was news that the two of them were together. Have you read the news?" Ji Feibai was very gossipy.
Jin Mingxi nodded: "I saw it and heard that it was at the charity dinner. Nan Xiao was also there at the time. The situation was awkward for a while. Nan Xiao ignored everyone for three days after coming back because of this incident. I guess I was angry."
"It seems that Lingxiao is serious." Ji Feibai was surprised.
Jin Mingxi also found it somewhat believable: "I also think his attitude towards Xia Ningxi is unusual."
Everyone was talking to each other, the discussion was heated, and they didn't notice Huo Nanxiao and Xia Wanwan who were already approaching.
Their words fell into Huo Nanxiao's ears accurately. Huo Nanxiao couldn't pretend to know anything even if he wanted to.
"Nan Xiao, you hurt me." Xia Wanwan's hand was pinched tightly by him, and she frowned in pain.
Huo Nanxiao let go of his hand and walked towards the princes.
Ji Feibai quickly stood up and poured him wine: "You're back, have you gone to say hello to Xia Ningxi? As soon as Ling Xiao appeared, everyone in the banquet hall went crazy to fawn over her."
"Then what?" Huo Nanxiao asked coldly.
Ji Feibai said: "The relationship between Ling Xiao and Xia Ningxi is definitely unusual. Could it be possible that these two have been together for a long time?"
These words hit Huo Nanxiao in the heart!
The two of them have known each other for a long time, and not only that, they got married!
What made Huo Nanxiao most angry was not that Xia Ningxi secretly found a husband from her second marriage, but that the husband from this second marriage turned out to be the only one.
They were both men. Huo Nanxiao knew better than anyone else why Ling Xiao came to the Imperial City with Xia Ningxi.
He wanted to take this opportunity to become a regular employee so that his identity could be made public.
No matter what news the Ling family releases related to Xia Ningxi in the future, everyone will not be shocked, but will become accustomed to it.
"Why are you paying so much attention to her?" Huo Nanxiao scolded Ji Feibai.
Ji Feibai: "I'm curious. Aren't you curious? Or have you known about them being together for a long time? By the way, you have been meeting Ling Xiao in Lingcheng before. No wonder you are so calm."
"Eat yours." Huo Nanxiao kept a secret in his eyes.
Ji Feibai: "Why are you angry? It's a great good thing that they are together. Now you don't have to worry about Xia Ningxi changing her mind, let alone that she will turn around and come to trouble you, making life difficult for you and Xia Wanwan. ”
"I think she is living a pretty cool life. She can live very comfortably without you. Maybe she will be able to drink their wedding wine in a while."
The more Ji Feibai spoke, the more excited he became. As a result, Huo Nanxiao stuffed a whole apple into his mouth. All his words were choked in his throat and he couldn't utter a single word.
He choked for a while before he recovered. His resentment level skyrocketed. He pulled out the apple stuffed in his mouth and asked Huo Nanxiao fiercely: "Why are you angry? Am I not telling the truth? It's only a matter of time before they get married. Are you angry?" What's your temper? If you can, stop them from getting married!"
"Young Master Ji is joking." Xia Wanwan quickly interrupted him with a flash of light in her eyes, "Mr. Ling is an independent person. We outsiders have no right to interfere with who he wants to marry. The same goes for Ning Xi. She wants to Nan Xiao doesn’t care who he marries.”
Ji Feibai said: "Not necessarily."
"I believe him." Xia Wanwan held Huo Nanxiao's hand with a very firm tone.
With this grip, my palms were all sweaty.
Huo Nanxiao looked down at her. Xia Wanwan, who was pretending to be calm, was already soaked to the skin, and her palms were trembling uncontrollably.
She was afraid. She was afraid that Huo Nanxiao would rush to Ling Xiao in a rage and snatch Xia Ningxi back. She was even more afraid that Huo Nanxiao would abandon her and remarry Xia Ningxi regardless of everything.
So Xia Wanwan didn't want anyone to mention Xia Ningxi in front of Huo Nanxiao, even if these people were Huo Nanxiao's friends.
The young men looked at Xia Wanwan in strange ways, and they could all tell that she was pretending to be strong.
But except for Fu Xiyu, no one else has empathy for Xia Wanwan, and they don't care whether Xia Wanwan will be sad or not. They only know that Huo Nanxiao's divorce from Xia Ningxi was calculated by Xia Wanwan.
Originally, Huo Nanxiao could have a healthy and perfect family, a harmonious family with two children, and the family could live happily together forever, but now the entire Huo family has long been torn apart.
The reputation of the Huo family has plummeted. The elders in the family use Huo Nanxiao as a negative example, and Xia Wanwan has become a topic of conversation for everyone after dinner.
Huo Nanxiao was the proud son of the Imperial City, with a huge amount of wealth. He should not have been dragged into the quagmire by Xia Wanwan, but just because Xia Wanwan was better at pretending than Xia Ningxi, he was forced to follow Xia Wanwan. Drag her down from the position of the principal wife.
Everyone is looking at summer evening wear.
Huo Nanxiao did not answer Xia Wanwan's words immediately, but he inadvertently withdrew the hand held by Xia Wanwan. It was such a subtle move that it could almost be ignored, but it was such a subtle move that was Everyone found out.
Everyone's eyes became more complicated.
Xia Wanwan's whole body was stiff and she was so nervous that she couldn't say a word. She bit her lips tightly and kept silent, with a blush on her eyes.
Fu Xiyu hurriedly smoothed things over: "That's enough, Fei Bai, what are you talking about? Nan Xiao is already married, there is no way he can be sorry for Wan Wan. Also, today is the Xia family's home court, what should and should not be said in your heart There’s a lot! If you really don’t know what to say, just go out and enjoy the cool breeze.”
Ji Feibai found it very funny. He actually understood everything, but he didn't deliberately expose it.
Everyone is not stupid, they all know that Xia Wanwan deliberately plotted against Huo Nanxiao, pretending to be pitiful and weak, and threatened to commit suicide from time to time, so Huo Nanxiao agreed to marry her.
But such a marriage cannot last long, Huo Nanxiao knows this better than anyone.
