Chapter 818 Giving Him a Mouth

Where no one could see, Tang En secretly took out his phone and sent Xia Ningxi a text message: Guess what happened?

Xia Ningxi: Don't tell me Li Yancheng can't control his mouth.

Tang En: He brought Ling Xiao to see you and said you were his girlfriend. I was completely stunned. This guy kept babbling on and on. I could see that Ling Xiao's face was so dark it could be used as the bottom of a pot. If they keep talking like this, something bad will happen.

Xia Ningxi: Doesn't he have any shame?!

Tang En: Yeah, who would have thought Li Yancheng would be so shameless? I don't even know what to say. This guy is still talking, still talking. He actually has the nerve to spout nonsense.

Xia Ningxi was in a real bind; she didn't even know if she should go back.

If she went back now, she wasn't sure if she could control the chaotic scene; but if she didn't go back, was she just going to let Li Yancheng talk nonsense?

Xia Ningxi's reputation is ruined, and he bears full responsibility!

"Shut his mouth!" This was Xia Ningxi's final request to Tang En.

Tang En put away his phone and saw that Li Yancheng and Ling Xiao, whose face had darkened, were still arguing. He smiled and walked up to Li Yancheng, saying, "Young Master Li, just because Dr. Xia isn't here doesn't mean you can talk nonsense. You two aren't that close."

"What do you know?" Li Yancheng said, displeased.

Tang En: "I will tell her exactly what you just said. There are many people attending the meeting today, and I hope you can be careful with your words and actions and not cause Dr. Xia too much trouble."

“You’re an outsider, you don’t understand what’s going on between her and me.” Li Yancheng simply didn’t want to listen to Tang En’s words.

Tang En was also impressed; it was the first time he had ever seen such a shameless man.

Unable to reason with Li Yancheng, she simply reminded Ling Xiao, "Dr. Xia is not familiar with Young Master Li."

Ling Xiao's expression softened slightly as he asked, "Why hasn't Xia Ningxi returned yet?"

"I had to leave early and won't be back tonight," Don said.

Ling Xiao frowned, clearly not satisfied with the answer.

But Xia Ningxi has already left and can never come back.

After the meeting, Ling Xiao asked Tang En for Xia Ningxi's contact number. Tang En readily gave him his number and left without even looking at Ling Xiao's obviously unhappy face.

Li Yancheng was quite satisfied with Tang En's approach. He hadn't expected Tang En to be so responsive. He smiled and said to Ling Xiao, "Mr. Ling seems to be very interested in Xia Ningxi?"

"More or less." Ling Xiao did not deny it.

Li Yancheng: "I need to warn you in advance, don't try anything with her. If the Ling family needs to contact their studio later, just ask Tang En or her assistant. Xia Ningxi is very busy."

The implication was that Ling Xiao should not have any designs on Xia Ningxi and should stay as far away from her as possible.

Ling Xiao was amused by these words, glanced at Li Yancheng thoughtfully, and replied, "You're overthinking it."

Ling Xiao turned and left quickly, his departing figure seemingly filled with dissatisfaction.

"Strange, why does this guy seem so impulsive? He wasn't like this when we met during the day," Li Yancheng muttered to himself.

Yao Qing comforted him, "Perhaps they just haven't seen Xia Ningxi."

“Xia Ningxi isn’t anyone to him, and she’s not someone anyone can just see whenever they want. What’s there for him to be angry about?” Li Yancheng retorted.

Yao Qing: "Who knows? I guess she's just like everyone else who tried to chat someone up but failed, which is why she's angry?"

"Isn't Ling Xiao from the eldest branch of the Ling family? Logically speaking, the eldest branch shouldn't be so ignorant. What kind of beautiful women can't someone of his caliber have? Why would he like to use such a low-class way of flirting like other ordinary people?" Li Yancheng wondered.

Yao Qing: "Should we investigate?"

"What's the point of investigating? It's a waste of time. Go and compile the photos the reporters took today, pick out the best ones and send them to the domestic media. Buy their front-page headlines and have them broadcast news about me and Xia Ningxi 24/7," Li Yancheng instructed.

He has a lot on his plate and has to go back to China tomorrow morning.

After leaving the meeting, Li Yancheng drove to Xia Ningxi's residence.

Xia Ningxi was sitting at home watching the news on TV at this moment, and her expression was not good.

When he walked in, he could clearly feel that Xia Ningxi's gaze towards him had changed, becoming deep, cold, and full of murderous intent.

"Why are you looking at me like that? I don't think I've caused you any trouble today, have I?" Li Yancheng was completely confused.

Xia Ningxi: "I'm not familiar with Young Master Li, and I'm not your girlfriend. What nonsense are you spouting outside today?"

"Didn't you already leave?" Li Yancheng felt guilty, not understanding why Xia Ningxi knew what he and Ling Xiao had said, but then he remembered that Tang En was also there at the time, and he immediately realized what had happened.

"Did Don tell you?"

Xia Ningxi's eyes were cold as she picked up the steel needles from the table and stood up.

Li Yancheng quickly stepped back and explained, "It's not what you think. I thought Ling Xiao was also interested in you, so I mentioned that you were my girlfriend to dispel his idea."

Just as I suspected, Ling Xiao is no better. Knowing you already have a boyfriend, he still wanted your contact information. I've never seen such a shameless person; he's just like Huo Nanxiao.

He cursed out loud.

Xia Ningxi's temples throbbed.

She suddenly understood why Tang En was so speechless, and she also wanted to call the police.

"You should leave now," Xia Ningxi said, seeing the guest out directly.

Li Yancheng: "I just arrived, why are you leaving?"

"I'm going to sleep. Go back to where you came from." Xia Ningxi had lost her patience.

Li Yancheng: "I feel like you're targeting me especially today."

"Good that you understand." Xia Ningxi snorted coldly.

Li Yancheng: "What did I do to offend you?"

Xia Ningxi rolled her eyes at him, not wanting to explain anything, and pushed him towards the door, closing it and ignoring him completely.

What did I do to offend her?

Does this even need an explanation?

Xia Ningxi didn't dare to imagine what other evil intentions Li Yancheng might be harboring.

What if this guy has ill intentions again?

She didn't want to be schemed against by Li Yancheng again; she was even afraid that the video of her attending the summit tonight would be embellished and released by Li Yancheng.

This guy will do anything to annoy Huo Nanxiao.

After chasing the people away, Xia Ningxi locked the door tightly and turned to the three children, saying, "Go upstairs and go to sleep."

"Okay!" The three little ones were all very well-behaved.

Xia Ningxi turned and went to the study. The children were well-behaved and didn't require much of her attention. She remembered that there was still a lot of data on the computer that hadn't been organized, so she went into the study.

Tang En sent her many messages, and when Xia Ningxi opened them, she realized that Ling Xiao was asking for her contact information. Fortunately, Tang En didn't give it to her, which relieved Xia Ningxi.

“Ling Xiao definitely recognizes who you are,” Tang En said with certainty.

Xia Ningxi sighed: "He's not stupid. I'm just afraid he'll cause me trouble."

Tang En: "Don't be afraid, they're here to cause you trouble, I'm absolutely sure. And that loser Li Yancheng, he's always stirring up trouble, adding fuel to the fire. I don't know what Ling Xiao is thinking, how come he's a member of the Ling family's eldest branch? This is going to be difficult to handle."

Xia Ningxi was also very worried.

At the time, she had no passport, no identity, and could not obtain citizenship for her children abroad, making the family of three essentially undocumented.

Tang En could only help her through unconventional means. At the same time, Xia Ningxi also used Ling Xiao to register their marriage and obtain Desla Island residency for Xingxing and Chuchu.

At the time, Ling Xiao never claimed to be rich or powerful. Xia Ningxi thought he was just an ordinary person with no power or influence, and she was incredibly decisive when using him.

After using her, Xia Ningxi ran faster than a rabbit.

Looking back now, it seems like Xia Ningxi and Ling Xiao were still married while they were abroad.

Xia Ningxi was extremely annoyed; she suddenly regretted attending that lousy meeting tonight.

I hope I don't see any news about myself tomorrow.

I imagine today's meeting is just an academic exchange and certainly won't involve any individuals.

After making up her mind, Xia Ningxi decisively went back to her room and fell fast asleep.

I slept soundly until dawn, and the first thing I did when I woke up was to go downstairs to buy breakfast.

When we got home, the three children had already woken up. They obediently went to the bathroom to brush their teeth and wash their face, and then lined up to wait for their meal.

Xia Ningxi: "Soy milk, fried dough sticks, and eggs, one serving per person."

"Mommy, I want to eat breakfast while watching TV. I want to watch cartoons," Chu Chu said sweetly.

Huo Yuan: "I also want to watch TV. I want to watch Ultraman."

Xingxing: "But I want to watch the news."

The three children all wanted to watch different things, but there was only one TV in the house.

Xia Ningxi said, "Since everyone wants to see different things, let's choose what I want to see."

She picked up the TV remote and switched back to domestic channels.

Great, I haven't seen any bad news today.

I changed the channel a few more times, but I didn't see any news that was bad for me.

She handed the TV remote to Huo Yuan, giving him the choice.

Huo Yuan was quite reasonable. He told everyone to watch for ten minutes, then change the channel, and even used a small alarm clock to keep track of time.

Xia Ningxi ignored them, ate her breakfast by herself, and occasionally checked the trending news on her phone.

Last night's summit was reported by many media outlets, and many people at home and abroad are paying attention to it. This time, however, there were no trending topics about Xia Ningxi, and the news content did not mention Xia Ningxi herself at all, but the accompanying picture was her face enlarged like a headshot.

"Are you out of your mind? Using my photo as a promotional image?" Xia Ningxi couldn't help but curse.

The three little ones pricked up their ears and immediately came closer.

"What is a photo booth?" Huo Yuan asked, puzzled.

Xingxing: "Is Mommy famous again?"

Chu Chu: "Wow, Mommy in the photo is so beautiful."

Xia Ningxi was so depressed that she didn't want to talk.

"It seems best not to go to work today," Xia Ningxi sighed helplessly.

She took leave and obediently locked herself at home, sleeping soundly.

While still half asleep, Xia Ningxi heard arguing outside the door. She thought the three children were fighting, so she looked out curiously. Tang En walked into the house while talking on the phone, muttering curses under his breath.

"Is he crazy? Buying trending topics? How dare he have such a big face?"

"What a bastard! I knew that beast was up to no good."

"He's really shameless. It's one thing to talk nonsense, but he also goes to the media to stir up trouble. Doesn't he feel comfortable if he doesn't drag others down with him?!"

"Oh shit!"

Don continued to swear.

Xia Ningxi was completely confused: "What's wrong?"

"You can still sleep? You're doomed!" Don replied.
