Chapter 710 Don't force me to keep hitting you

The couple seemed to have lost their minds, looking at Xia Ningxi as if they wanted to devour her whole.

Xia Ningxi glanced at the two indifferently and calmly put down the documents in her hand: "Who let them in?"

The colleague holding the door looked completely innocent: "These two people barged in without permission. I was just about to close the door, but I couldn't."

Xia Ningxi said, "Could you please go and call the security guard over?"

Upon hearing the word "security guard," Zhou Fenglin's face immediately darkened: "You have the nerve to call me security guard? Xia Ningxi, are you even human?!"

"This is a hospital. I advise you not to cause trouble," Xia Ningxi warned.

Zhou Fenglin was furious: "Haven't you seen the recent news? Do you even know what you've done to the Xia family?"

"I don't know." Xia Ningxi said calmly, looking completely innocent, as if it had nothing to do with me.

How could Zhou Fenglin swallow this insult? He rushed forward to grab Xia Ningxi, but Tang En blocked his way with a quick step. Unable to get close to Xia Ningxi, she could only point at Xia Ningxi's nose and yell, "We've fed and clothed you well all these years and never mistreated you. Wanwan is your sister. How could you do such a despicable thing?"

"She's already engaged to Young Master Huo, and they'll be getting married soon. It's a done deal. How dare you still go and cause trouble in front of Huo Xiuyuan? Are you being malicious by seeing our family get retaliated against by Huo Xiuyuan?"

How could there be such a vicious person as you in this world!

Her voice was shrill, and she deliberately raised it so that everyone could hear her.

However, everyone in the consultation room remained calm, and even looked at Zhou Fenglin as if he were a fool.

Xia Ningxi slowly stood up from her seat, a smile on her face: "Mrs. Zhou, if Huo Xiuyuan is causing you trouble, you can go and argue with him. Why are you coming to me?"

"You've been gossiping behind my back and encouraging Huo Xiuyuan to take action against the Xia family. Who else should I go after if not you?" Zhou Fenglin felt he was in the right.

Xia Ningxi had no intention of arguing with her. After the security guards arrived, she said, "These two people are here to cause trouble. Please kick them out so as not to affect our work or the patients' rest."

Security guard: "Okay."

They walked towards the couple, their attitude unfriendly: "Gentlemen, please leave, or we'll take action against you."

"Get out of my way! Who do you think you are to interfere in our affairs? This Xia Ningxi is a member of our Xia family. What's wrong with me, as her elder, coming to see her? Get out of my way and stop blocking my path," Zhou Fenglin shouted angrily.

Xia Wenhe said in a gentle tone, "Ning Xi, I have something very important to discuss with you this time. Please don't send me away. I want to sit down and have a good talk with you."

"I have nothing to talk to you about." Xia Ningxi didn't want to engage with her.

Xia Wenhe cried out, "We are all family, how can you be so heartless? The Xia family is your family, and the Xia Group is your company. Now Huo Xiuyuan is ruthlessly attacking us, and I can't even continue my business. If this continues, I will go bankrupt. Please plead for me. Only if you speak up will Huo Xiuyuan stop."

"The Xia family's things have never had anything to do with me. If your business fails and you go bankrupt, it has nothing to do with me. Why do you come here to humiliate yourself?" Xia Ningxi said sarcastically.

When Xia Wenhe realized that his gentle approach wasn't working, the anger he had been suppressing finally erupted. He angrily shouted, "How could you be so cruel? I've raised you for so many years, are you trying to force me to my death?"

"Tsk tsk." Xia Ningxi laughed: "Xia Wenhe, where do you get the nerve? Why don't you just switch careers and become an actor? This isn't your stage. You can better utilize your talents as an actor."

Xia Wenhe was furious and pointed at Xia Ningxi, cursing, "How could I have raised such an ingrate! Xia Wanwan is your own sister, how dare you steal her husband? If you had any shame at all, you wouldn't have done such a thing!"

"Ha, can't you tell whose husband it is? Then you're really not suited for business." Xia Ningxi sneered and said to the security guard, "They've been causing trouble here long enough. I don't want to see them anymore. Take them out."

The security guards grabbed the couple without saying a word, saying, "If you refuse to cooperate, don't blame us."

The couple were forcibly removed from the clinic.

Xia Wenhe stomped his feet in anger and cursed, "You ingrate! Xia Ningxi, you ingrate! Everyone, come and see! It's her who ruined her family and forced her own sister to die! How can there be such a vicious person in this world!"

"Her sister was so humiliated by her that she jumped off a building and committed suicide. If I hadn't found her in time, there would only be a corpse left now. Now, Xia Ningxi not only shows no remorse, but she even kicked her own father and mother out and had people beat us up. Is there any justice in this world?!"

Xia Wenhe loudly complained, attracting passersby to stop in their tracks.

As more and more people gathered, Zhou Fenglin joined in the rant: "Come and see, everyone! This is the woman who almost killed my sister and stole her man. Now she's unhappy and wants the whole family to die. How can she be so vicious!"

"My poor Wanwan, she was almost killed by her but she didn't blame her. She even swallowed all the bitterness herself to keep her from going to jail and to keep the peace. But what did she do? She's heartless and ungrateful. Does such a person deserve to be a doctor?"

Zhou Fenglin cried his heart out.

Those who didn't know what was going on listened to the two old people's tearful complaints, and their eyes all fell on Xia Ningxi.

Passerby 1: "Really? How can there be such a person?"

Passerby 2: "She actually had the security guards kick her parents out. How could she be so heartless?"

Passerby 3: "How cold-blooded! Does someone like that deserve to be a doctor? She even harms her own family. Who would dare to see her for treatment?"

Passerby 4: "Quickly take a picture of her, I want to expose her online, and let everyone know that there is an unscrupulous doctor at Ninghai Hospital."

A group of people took out their phones and started snapping pictures of Xia Ningxi, hurling increasingly offensive remarks at her.

They were all patients who were unaware of the truth. Many of them were visiting the hospital for the first time and had no idea what Xia Wenhe and Zhou Fenglin were really like. However, the hospital staff knew very well what was going on.

The head nurse, who rushed over upon hearing the commotion, was so angry at the two of them twisting the truth that she laughed: "I thought it was someone else, but it turns out it's the mistress's parents. How can you two be so shameless?"

Dr. Li said with a smile, "Xia Wanwan's life was saved by Xia Ningxi. But what she did after recovering was to seduce Xia Ningxi's husband, causing the couple to divorce. Don't you parents have any shame?"

Head Nurse: "If she had any ideas, she wouldn't have raised such a daughter. How dare she come to our hospital and cause trouble? Is she taking advantage of us because we don't know anything?"

The passersby's eyes widened upon hearing this.

Passerby 1: "Damn, so they're the mistress's parents. How dare they!"

Passerby 2: "We almost wronged the doctor! How despicable! These shameless bastards are distorting the truth and talking nonsense!"

The tide among the crowd gradually turned. At first, the people who didn't understand were even joining the couple in criticizing Xia Ningxi. But after figuring out what was going on, they broke down and, feeling deceived, started cursing at the couple.

The couple's expressions gradually turned grim as they realized the situation was turning against them.

Zhou Fenglin hurriedly explained, "It's not like what they said. You have no idea how vicious Xia Ningxi is. Her sister is already engaged to Huo Nanxiao, and she still went to seduce her sister's fiancé."

Passerby 1: "Huo Nanxiao? Isn't that the richest man in our capital city? I heard that Huo Nanxiao has a wife."

“Yes, Huo Nanxiao is engaged to my daughter Xia Wanwan, and she even tried to seduce her future brother-in-law!” Zhou Fenglin continued to explain.

Passerby 2: "I remember now, Huo Nanxiao did have a mistress. That mistress was extremely shameless, destroying other people's families and causing the three poor triplets to lose their father. So Xia Wanwan is your daughter? You are too shameless. You still have the nerve to cause trouble at the place where the original wife works? I think it would be lenient to have the security guards kick you out."

Passerby 3: "If it were me, I'd just chop you all up and throw you out to feed the dogs."

Zhou Fenglin was surprised that these strangers were also gossiping about Huo Nanxiao. Seeing that she couldn't smear Xia Ningxi, she was both angry and furious, so she simply sat down on the ground and cried.

"This is outrageous! How can they treat their own family like this?"

"I don't want to live anymore, I might as well be dead."

Zhou Fenglin's shrill voice echoed all around. Unable to reason with Xia Ningxi, she resorted to tantrums, crying, making a scene, and threatening suicide, constantly complaining about her miserable life.

Xia Ningxi watched her put on an act and smiled. She knew that Zhou Fenglin had run out of options, otherwise he wouldn't have come here to make a scene.

However, to Zhou Fenglin's dismay, Xia Ningxi is no longer the naive person she once was, and she will not feel guilty or lose her footing because of his few words.

She wasn't afraid of being pointed at or gossiped about, because she knew better than anyone that all of this was what the Xia family deserved.

Xia Ningxi wanted to see what other tricks Zhou Fenglin could come up with.

She pulled a bag of sunflower seeds from the drawer and started eating them, idly watching the couple's farcical antics.

I thought the couple would argue for a long time, but their noise attracted Ling Shuang's attention.

Ling Shuang, who was in a bad mood, felt uncomfortable because of the two people's wailing. Her brother was not even dead yet, and these two started crying. Were they deliberately trying to annoy her?

"What are you doing here?" Ling Shuang shouted sternly.

Xia Wenhe explained, "We came to see Xia Ningxi, but who knew she would be so cruel as to kick her own parents out. Miss Ling, you be the judge. How can a doctor like her have no conscience at all?"

Ling Shuang became even angrier: "You actually came here to cause trouble for Xia Ningxi? Who gave you the guts? Don't you know she's my brother's attending physician now?"

“Miss Ling, it’s best not to use someone like that. She can be so cruel to her own parents; she might have deliberately tampered with the surgery to keep Young Master Lin from waking up.” Zhou Fenglin directly pinned a smear on Xia Ningxi.

The moment those words were spoken, the medical staff in the consultation room were furious!

They've worked so hard, how could they tolerate such slander!

Just as a group of people were about to rush out and argue with Zhou Fenglin, and had already taken a few steps away, Ling Shuang suddenly slapped Zhou Fenglin across the face, the sound crisp and loud.

Everyone stopped in their tracks, stunned!

Zhou Fenglin, who had been slapped, was also stunned. She didn't even know what had happened! She had no idea why Ling Shuang had hit her!

Her face stung, and it took Zhou Fenglin a while to recover. She was furious: "How dare you hit me?"

Ling Shuang sneered: "That's exactly what I'm going to do. I've seen plenty of shameless women like you. My brother's life is hanging in the balance, and I won't allow anyone to interfere with him in the hospital! If you dare to cause trouble for Xia Ningxi, you're making an enemy of me and the entire Ling family. You'd better think this through, or you'll force me to keep hitting you."
