Chapter 483 How can one have a good temper when dealing with a mistress?

Huo Nanxiao was stumped by Xia Ningxi's words.

Indeed, in all the time she's been married to Xia Ningxi, apart from the incident with Xia Wanwan, Xia Ningxi has never harmed anyone.

She is a doctor who saves lives and heals the wounded. In order to cure patients, she will do everything to the best of her ability.

Would such a responsible person really do something so heinous?

"No one could frame you without solid evidence," Huo Nanxiao said in a deep voice.

Xia Ningxi was furious and gritted her teeth: "Fine, since you've said it like that, then I won't hold back anymore. Just consider me an utterly wicked person. Even so, it doesn't change the fact that I am your original wife, and Xia Wanwan is just a mistress. How good a temper do you expect me to be when dealing with a mistress?"

"If Young Master Huo can't stand it, then just bear with it. Anyway, I'm not going to change!"

Xia Ningxi snorted coldly, her neck stiff, no longer afraid.

Since saying anything is pointless, there's nothing more to explain.

Whether Xia Wanwan can stand it or not is none of her business. If she can't stand it, then she should just go away. Does Xia Ningxi have to coax her? Why should she?

"Drive, I want to go back." Xia Ningxi kicked the car and yelled fiercely at Huo Nanxiao.

Huo Nanxiao said coldly, "You have quite the temper."

“Yes, that’s just how big my temper is!” Xia Ningxi retorted without hesitation.

Huo Nanxiao laughed in exasperation: "Xia Ningxi, I've noticed you're getting bolder and bolder!"

"Otherwise what? Do you expect me to be a pushover like I was back then?" Xia Ningxi retorted without hesitation.

Huo Nanxiao snorted coldly, stepped on the gas, and the car launched itself away, flying a long distance in a flash.

Xia Ningxi, who wasn't wearing a seatbelt, nearly fell onto the windshield. Luckily, she reacted quickly, grabbed the car door, and fastened her seatbelt. She didn't forget to curse Huo Nanxiao as a "bastard."

Before the children were even dismissed from school, Huo Nanxiao drove his car to the Yunting Group building.

“I have a meeting, you come up with me,” Huo Nanxiao said.

Xia Ningxi shook her head: "I'm not going. You go ahead with your work. I'll take a taxi home by myself."

"You're not going to pick up the child?" Huo Nanxiao questioned.

Xia Ningxi checked the time; it was 3 PM. The children wouldn't be out of school for another two hours. Going home now would mean sitting for only a few minutes before having to come out to pick them up again, which wasn't worth it. So, she gritted her teeth and went upstairs with Huo Nanxiao.

We used the president's private elevator.

Xia Ningxi followed behind Huo Nanxiao the whole time, her face flushed. Because she had a fever, she wasn't feeling well and didn't pay attention to the stares from others. When they arrived at Huo Nanxiao's office, she immediately found the most comfortable sofa and lay down.

"Young Madam?" Ye Su called out to Xia Ningxi cautiously, holding a cup of hot coffee.

The girl did not react.

Ye Su placed the coffee on the table in front of Xia Ningxi, then walked to the other side and said to Huo Nanxiao, "President, the young mistress seems to be feeling unwell."

"She has a fever. Turn up the air conditioning and find her a thinner blanket," Huo Nanxiao ordered.

"Okay, I'll go right away." Ye Su nodded and quickly took a brand new blanket and covered Xia Ningxi with it.

Xia Ningxi was asleep and did not respond.

Huo Nanxiao glanced thoughtfully at her sleeping face, then turned back to ask Ye Su, "Is everyone here?"

"They're all waiting in the conference room," Ye Su nodded.

Huo Nanxiao put down his coat and headed to the conference room.

The long meeting lasted a full half hour. After it ended, several senior executives were still eager to continue, chasing after Huo Nanxiao to report on their work. They even followed Huo Nanxiao into his office, chattering away incessantly, their voices becoming very loud when they got excited.

"Keep your voice down, don't wake them up," Huo Nanxiao snapped impatiently.

The vice president was puzzled: "Did you wake him up? Is anyone resting here, President? Where is he? I don't see him."

He looked around blankly, but really couldn't see anyone.

Huo Nanxiao said with a serious expression, "We can discuss these things tomorrow. If there's nothing else, please leave."

The vice president was about to speak when his colleague tugged at his sleeve, gesturing for him to look at the sofa. He then noticed a person lying on the sofa, not very noticeable because they were covered with a small blanket. He was shocked. When did the president develop the habit of bringing women to the company to rest? He had never done this before!

After leaving the CEO's office, the vice president couldn't help but ask, "Who was that woman just now? She looked a bit unfamiliar."

Project Manager: "Are you sure you saw her face? I didn't see it at all."

Vice President: "I didn't see her either. Could it be Xia Wanwan?"

"Isn't Xia Wanwan in a wheelchair? I haven't seen a wheelchair in the president's office. Let's ask Ye Su; she definitely knows who that woman is." The project manager couldn't help but gossip.

Upon seeing Ye Su emerge from the office, the two immediately surrounded her.

"Secretary Ye, who is that woman in the president's office?" the vice president asked.

Ye Su said, "Xia Ningxi."

"That doctor? What's she doing here? And she's asleep in the CEO's office, isn't that a bit..." The project manager frowned deeply.

Ye Su said, "Does it have to be Xia Wanwan?"

"That's not what I meant, I'm just curious."

"Yes, we heard that the president rushed into the fire to save people the day before yesterday. We thought the person who came to the company would be Xia Wanwan."

"Yes, the relationship between Xia Ningxi and the president is really a bit hard to figure out. I heard that the eldest son of the Li family has been pursuing her recently, and that the two of them are even together and have stayed overnight together. I don't know if it's true or not." The vice president was very curious.

Project Manager: "I've heard about this too, and it seems to be true!"

Ye Su said, "You guys really know how to bring up the most sensitive topics. Don't blame me if you lose your job and get kicked out of the company one day."

Their expressions changed instantly!

They were terrified and broke out in a cold sweat: "Secretary Ye, what do you mean by this?"

Ye Su said, "Xia Ningxi is the biological mother of the young masters, the eldest daughter-in-law of the Huo family appointed by Old Master Huo, and the future mistress of the Huo family. I think you all have a death wish to dare to talk nonsense."

"I'm sorry, I didn't expect that." The project manager quickly slapped himself hard across the face.

The vice president's expression was also very unpleasant: "I understand, I dare not say any more."

Both of them slunk away.

Ye Su watched their departing figures, snorted coldly, and turned around to find that everyone in the department was craning their necks to eavesdrop. They had been secretly discussing Xia Ningxi quite a bit.

Ye Su said, "What are you all looking at? You should all know what you can and cannot say, right?"

Everyone's expression immediately changed, and they dared not eavesdrop anymore.

Ye Su has been investigating Xia Ningxi's past, and Huo Nanxiao has also asked her to investigate Xia Wanwan, probably because he has become suspicious of what happened back then.
