Chapter 578 You Can't Leave

The hospital probably knew that Xia Ningxi had been wronged, so they suspended her from her job but still made sure to pay her salary.

Seeing her salary deposited into her account, Xia Ningxi felt much better.

"Let's go, I'll treat you to dinner," Xia Ningxi offered.

Chu Xinran's face fell: "How can you still eat at a time like this? I can't eat a single bite, I'm not eating."

“What’s the point of feeling miserable? You might as well come out with me for a nice meal,” Xia Ningxi said.

Chu Xinran: "They've gone so far as to bully you, are you just going to let it go?"

"Then tell me, what can I do? Since Huo Nanxiao is determined to suppress all the news that is unfavorable to Xia Wanwan, he will definitely not give me a chance to make things worse again. What else can I do but swallow my anger?" Xia Ningxi retorted.

Chu Xinran gritted her teeth: "These two sisters must pay the price."

Xia Ningxi ate her fruit silently without saying a word or making any statement.

In truth, she knew better than anyone else that Huo Nanxiao was determined to protect someone, and no one could do anything about it.

She was simply not chosen. No matter what explanation Xia Ningxi gives, as long as it affects Xia Wanwan's reputation and future, Huo Nanxiao will definitely step in to suppress her. It doesn't matter.

The intense work these past few days has left Xia Ningxi physically and mentally exhausted. It's rare to have such a free time now, a chance to sit down and have a proper chat.

Chu Xinran didn't want to go out, and Xia Ningxi didn't insist either. They lay on the sofa playing on their phones, feeling rather bored, and their days were quite leisurely.

In the afternoon, Tang En brought fruit to Huo Nanxiao's door to discuss going abroad. Tang En couldn't swallow Huo Nanxiao's actions and no longer wanted to stay in the country to work for Huo Nanxiao. He hoped that Xia Ningxi could leave with him.

"How long do you plan to stay in the Imperial City? Why don't you come back to Desla with me? Being a carefree doctor there is much better than staying in this godforsaken place, and you'll be spared the constant harassment from these bastards," Don suggested.

Xia Ningxi said, "If I go back with you, I'm afraid it will be difficult to explain."

"Are you afraid the Ling family will cause you trouble?" Tang En asked.

Xia Ningxi nodded: "Yes."

Don said, "I heard that your fake husband has left Desla. You can come back with me without any problem."

“Okay, I’ll go back with you after I finish all my surgeries this month.” Xia Ningxi didn’t plan to stay here any longer.

Don said, "You're still planning to stay for another month?"

Xia Ningxi said, "What will happen to those patients who have been waiting in line for so long if I leave? Am I just going to abandon them?"

Everything else can be delayed, but a patient's surgery cannot.

The doctors at Ninghai Hospital have limited capabilities; only doctors of Xia Ningxi and Tang En's caliber can perform extremely difficult surgeries. If they are not available, patients must be transferred to the Imperial City General Hospital.

But many of their patients are transferred from the main hospital, specifically because of Xia Ningxi and Tang En.

Tang En only had Xia Wanwan in charge, so he could easily quit. But Xia Ningxi couldn't do that; she had to be responsible for her patients and couldn't be as carefree as Tang En.

Don sighed helplessly: "How about this, give me half of your patients, and I'll treat them for you without charging extra."

"I'm so sorry." Xia Ningxi's cheeks flushed.

Don: "I make seven figures on every surgery. Don't be ungrateful. If it weren't for you, I wouldn't have taken on this job."

“Okay, I’ll talk to the patient’s family. If they’re willing, we’ll have you as their attending physician. I’ve missed a few surgeries these past two days, so it’s perfect for you to take over.” Xia Ningxi was more than happy to have Tang En relieve some of the pressure on her.

She readily agreed to Tang En's suggestion, and after resolving the hospital matters, she returned to Desla, while Xia Ningxi continued her research in their laboratory.

"After months of hard work, there's finally something to be happy about." Tang En couldn't stop smiling. Seeing Xingxing and Huo Yuan tinkering with Lego not far away, he called the two little ones over with a smile, picked one up in each arm, and asked with a smile, "Your mommy is going abroad with your uncle next month, do you want to come along?"

Her eyes sparkled: "Is it going back to our old home?"

“Yes, they live in staff villas.” Don nodded.

The star was very happy: "Yay, yay! I like it there."

Huo Yuan looked bewildered: "Am I also going abroad with them?"

Xingxing said, "Of course, we're a family, so naturally we should go together."

"What about Daddy?" Huo Yuan asked in a low voice.

Xingxing said, "Let's not take it anymore, we can just find another one."

Tang En laughed heartily, hugging Xingxing and grinning from ear to ear. Turning around, he saw Huo Yuan biting his lip, looking pitiful. He said, "Listen to Xingxing, don't worry. If you're worried about not having a daddy, I can be your godfather. I can buy you anything you want."

"Isn't this a bit inappropriate?" Huo Yuan said, feeling embarrassed.

Don said, "What's wrong with that? I think it's great. Your mom would probably agree too. After we go abroad, I can still pick you up and drop you off at school after get off work. It'll be so convenient."

He didn't care whether the children were happy or not. Since Xia Ningxi had already agreed to go back to Desla with him, Tang En immediately had his assistant handle the exit procedures and buy plane tickets for Xia Ningxi and the three children.

Caught in the middle, Chu Xinran looked at the silent Xia Ningxi and then at Tang En, who was beaming with joy, and couldn't help but ask, "Ningxi, are you really planning to go abroad to develop your career? You've finally come back and just started to get back on your feet. If you go abroad now, you'll be starting all over again, and some people will just take advantage of you."

These "certain people" naturally refer to Xia Wanwan.

Xia Ningxi was originally Huo Nanxiao's wife, his only legal wife, but now she has to give way to Xia Wanwan. Can Xia Ningxi swallow this insult?

Even if Xia Ningxi could swallow it, she, as her friend, couldn't bear to see Xia Ningxi suffer such humiliation, and she couldn't bear to see Xia Wanwan get everything so easily without giving anything in return. Why should she?

Why is it that Xia Wanwan can get everything from Xia Ningxi without doing anything?

As a friend, Chu Xinran was furious and resentful. She didn't want Xia Ningxi to leave, and not only that, she also hoped that Xia Ningxi could take back everything that belonged to her.

Chu Xinran held Xia Ningxi's hand and said very seriously, "Ningxi, I think you can't leave. You should stay here."

"She's already agreed to it, so shut up," Don warned.

Chu Xinran rolled her eyes at Tang En and said, "You're just giving me bad advice. What would it look like if we ran away at a time like this? Wouldn't people think Ning Xi is a doctor who poisons patients? Wouldn't their evil scheme succeed then? We can't leave at a time like this. Not only that, we should slap them in the face and make them lose face."
