Chapter 824 She Shouldn't Have Came Back

Although the woman in the photo was wearing a mask and her face was not clearly visible, Huo Nanxiao recognized her at a glance as Xia Ningxi.

She returned to the country, but not to the capital city; instead, she came to Lingcheng.

Huo Nanxiao frowned and immediately called Ye Su: "Find out which hospital Lin Jiangbei is being treated at and who his attending physicians are."

“Lin Jiangbei is currently receiving treatment in a laboratory in Texas, and his attending physician has always been Tang En,” Ye Su replied.

Huo Nanxiao: "He's back in China. Find out if Xia Ningxi came back with him."

"Okay," Ye Su replied.

Half an hour later, Ye Su replied, "President, the Ling family recently built a very large laboratory in Lingcheng, which is said to be one of the best in the country. They have also hired a group of experts from abroad, but we can't find any information about these experts. We have also investigated the hospital where Lin Jiangbei is staying, but it is a property of the Ling family, and they are unwilling to say anything."

The Ling family kept all news related to Lin Jiangbei very well hidden, including the experts who returned to China with Lin Jiangbei; they also concealed their identities and did not reveal them to the outside world.

Even if Huo Nanxiao couldn't find anything, he could still determine that the person in the photo was Xia Ningxi.

They took over Lin Jiangbei's treatment from the very beginning; it's impossible for them to abandon him halfway through.

So, she came back.

Huo Nanxiao's feelings were very complicated. He watched the TV news countless times, looking at the woman in the photo again and again. Even though she was covered up, Huo Nanxiao could clearly tell that this person was Xia Ningxi.

She must be deliberately avoiding me, right?

Aside from these reasons, Huo Nanxiao couldn't understand why Xia Ningxi would conceal her return to China.

The television was very loud, and Huo Nanxiao was so engrossed that he didn't notice anyone pushing the door open and entering.

With Xia Luoluo's help, Xia Wanwan entered the presidential suite where Huo Nanxiao was staying.

"Nan Xiao, what are you looking at so intently?" Xia Wanwan asked.

Upon hearing the familiar voice, Huo Nanxiao immediately pressed the remote control and changed the channel.

He turned around, his dark, deep eyes coldly fixed on her: "Watching the news? What are you doing here?"

"The hospital director just called, we can go to the hospital now," Xia Wanwan replied.

Huo Nanxiao tossed the car keys to Xia Luoluo: "Take her there."

"Sister, brother-in-law, isn't this inappropriate? The director of Lingcheng Hospital doesn't know me, and I'm afraid he won't be willing to give me this face," Xia Luoluo said cautiously.

Huo Nanxiao was displeased.

Xia Wanwan: "Nan Xiao, come with me. It's not appropriate for Luo Luo to come with me."

"Okay." Huo Nanxiao finally agreed.

He turned off the TV and personally took Xia Wanwan to the hospital.

Xia Luoluo was left standing in the room, and Huo Nanxiao didn't even glance at her.

Xia Luoluo knew that Huo Nanxiao had a problem with her, but she didn't explain anything. After Huo Nanxiao and the others left, Xia Luoluo hurriedly took out the TV remote and turned it on to watch the history.

"So, it turns out that Young Master Huo has been keeping up with Xia Ningxi's news. I knew he couldn't let go of her. That good-for-nothing Xia Wanwan probably doesn't even know that Xia Ningxi has returned to the country."

"By the time Xia Wanwan recovers and becomes pregnant with Huo Nanxiao's child, it will be too late. We can't let this good-for-nothing ruin the Xia family's future."

Xia Luoluo turned off the TV, called Zhou Fenglin, and told her what she had discovered.

"What did you say? That bitch Xia Ningxi is back in the country? She's only been gone a few months and she's back again? What is she up to? Can't she just die abroad?!" Zhou Fenglin panicked; she was furious.

Xia Luoluo: "That's not the most important thing. I've discovered that Young Master Huo has been paying attention to Xia Ningxi all along. I'm worried that Young Master Huo still has feelings for Xia Ningxi. Once they rekindle their old flame, the Xia family will be finished."

"We absolutely cannot let them get back together!" Zhou Fenglin was extremely agitated.

Charlotte: "Then what should we do?"

"Only by getting pregnant with Young Master Huo's child as soon as possible can we solidify the Xia family's position," Zhou Fenglin muttered to himself.

Xia Luoluo: "Mother, my sister can't even take care of herself, and Young Master Huo doesn't even want to touch her. How can she get pregnant? Besides, Young Master Huo is very wary of me now, so I can't get involved."

"Then let Xia Ningxi disappear, make her disappear completely! Only when she's dead can we have peace of mind." Zhou Fenglin's murderous intent was aroused.

Xia Luoluo: "I dare not. I'm afraid that if Young Master Huo finds out about this, he will definitely kill me."

“Use someone else to do the dirty work, let your sister be the murderer. Huo Nanxiao would never be willing to lay a hand on your sister.” Zhou Fenglin said this with deep thought: “I will arrange this matter. You are right, you are the only one who has a chance to get pregnant with Huo Shao’s child. I will never let you take any risks.”

Xia Luoluo hung up the phone, her eyes filled with a triumphant smile.

"Perhaps it's time to let my sister know about Xia Ningxi's existence." Xia Luoluo told Xia Wanwan about Xia Ningxi's return to the country.

When Xia Wanwan received the message, she discovered that the hospital where Xia Ningxi was was the same hospital where she had her physical examination. She immediately suggested to Huo Nanxiao that they change hospitals.

"Why?" Huo Nanxiao asked, puzzled.

Xia Wanwan said, "I heard this hospital isn't very good. Let's go to Lingcheng People's Hospital instead. I heard the doctors there are really good."

“Okay.” Huo Nanxiao did not refuse and took Xia Wanwan to another hospital.

The two spent the afternoon at the hospital. Afterward, Huo Nanxiao took Xia Wanwan back to her hotel and then went to visit the Ling family's company.

After returning to the hotel, Xia Wanwan immediately asked Xia Luoluo, "Is what you said true? Didn't Xia Ningxi already go abroad?"

"I heard he's back in China again," Xia Luoluo replied.

Xia Wanwan: "Impossible. She said she would never return to China in this lifetime. Moreover, Tang En has a great reputation abroad. Xia Ningxi will definitely stay by Tang En's side. She can't possibly return to China."

"Sister, Lin Jiangbei has already returned to China. Tang En is Lin Jiangbei's attending physician, so she will definitely come back with him. Xia Ningxi will naturally come back with him too. She was lying to you before." Xia Luoluo continued to fan the flames.

Xia Wanwan bit her lip, her eyes gradually reddening, and her fingers trembling.

She was afraid.

She didn't know why, but when she learned that Xia Ningxi had returned to China, she subconsciously felt afraid!

Why is she so afraid of Xia Ningxi returning to China?

"Does Nan Xiao know about this?" Xia Wanwan asked.

Xia Luoluo said, "You should know that he replayed Lin Jiangbei's news dozens of times today, and that news happened to have Xia Ningxi's photo in it. Huo Shao doesn't seem like the kind of person who watches a news story dozens of times. Maybe he can't let her go."

Xia Wanwan's heart was breaking. "Yes, how could Nan Xiao be so bored? He's not that kind of person. He must be unable to let her go."

"Sister, you are now Huo Shao's wife, while Xia Ningxi has already divorced Huo Shao. They have no relationship anymore. You must not let Xia Ningxi ruin your future."

Xia Luoluo squatted down next to Xia Wanwan and said softly, "We've only just managed to get through this difficult time. Once Xia Ningxi appears, everyone will remember that my sister was the third party who broke up someone else's family. Have you forgotten how everyone used to criticize you?"

“As long as Xia Ningxi is around, everyone will remember that you were the third party. Your sister is a prodigy, outstanding since childhood. Xia Ningxi took everything that belonged to you. You shouldn’t be misunderstood.”

Her voice was gentle, like that of a caring younger sister. Every word she spoke seemed to be for Xia Wanwan's sake, but in reality, she was reminding Xia Wanwan that she was unworthy of her position and that she had forced Xia Ningxi away and married Huo Nanxiao through underhanded means.

Xia Wanwan is a proud and self-important person who cares a lot about her reputation. After Xia Ningxi left, apart from gossipy people like Fu Mingyan who would talk behind her back, no one else would say anything about Xia Wanwan over time.

But once Xia Ningxi returns, those unbearable words will come like a never-ending tide; she shouldn't have come back.
