Chapter 858 Ling Xiao has no shame

The children were frightened in the morning, so Huo Nanxiao made a very big breakfast to comfort them, but they were not happy, especially Xingxing, whose face was swollen and who had no appetite.

Huo Nanxiao could only ask Ye Su to go outside and buy some of the children's favorite foods and send them over.

An hour later, Ye Su appeared with lots of delicious snacks and treats, and the little ones finally showed long-lost smiles.

The stars no longer sat pitifully in the corner, but happily ran off to eat ice cream.

Huo Nanxiao saw a smile finally appear on their faces and his heart was relieved.

"How did you handle the task I was asked to do?" Huo Nanxiao asked Ye Su.

Ye Su lowered her head: "It's all taken care of. Zhou Fenglin went to the hospital after he left. Don't worry, President. The person who did it knew what he was doing. But this matter will definitely reach Miss Wanwan's ears, and she will probably be angry."

Huo Nanxiao remained very calm, seemingly unconcerned.

Ye Su handed over all the files she had missed in the past two days to Huo Nanxiao to handle, and then sent them to the Ling family's company that afternoon.

Ling Shuang was quite disappointed after learning that Xia Ningxi had moved out. She even came to find Xia Ningxi because of this, but after discovering that the house Huo Nanxiao bought for her was not bad, she had nothing more to say.

However, seeing Huo Nanxiao and Xia Ningxi under the same roof, Ling Shuang was very puzzled: "President Huo hasn't been to the company or to spend time with Xia Wanwan these past few days, but he has the leisure to be here. People who don't know the situation might think you're going to remarry."

"Miss Ling is so idle that she's eating other people's gossip?" Huo Nanxiao asked rhetorically.

Ling Shuang said, "Not everyone is qualified to gossip about President Huo. I'm just lucky."

"Did Lingxiao send you?" Huo Nanxiao asked.

Ling Shuang shook her head: "Mr. Huo is overthinking it. You are just Xia Ningxi's ex-husband. My brother doesn't care about you."

"If you really didn't care, why did you give your house and car to Xia Ningxi?" Huo Nanxiao retorted.

Ling Shuang said, "They were married abroad. I thought Mr. Huo knew about this, but I didn't expect you didn't?"

These words struck a nerve with Huo Nanxiao. His previously good mood immediately darkened, and he looked displeased: "Bigamy is not protected by law."

“They got their marriage certificate abroad, so it doesn’t apply to domestic laws. Besides, aren’t you already divorced? Xia Ningxi isn’t considered bigamous now.” Ling Shuang said with a smile.

Huo Nanxiao's handsome face was terribly gloomy.

When Xia Ningxi finished making coffee and came out, she saw the two of them confronting each other.

Sensing that something was off, Xia Ningxi silently placed the coffee in front of Ling Shuang and asked, "Did you two have a fight?"

"No, I'm just curious why Mr. Huo has suddenly changed so much lately. He's been so good to you and the child. If I remember correctly, Mr. Huo used to only have eyes for Xia Wanwan." Ling Shuang knew how to be sarcastic.

Xia Ningxi nodded: "I also think he's been acting strangely lately."

Ling Shuang: "My older brother was very sad when he heard that you moved out. He said he would let you live in the old Ling family mansion. The environment there is better than any other in the entire Ling City. Even compared to the Huo family, it is not inferior. They all like you very much."

"Sure, I'll definitely go if I have the chance," Xia Ningxi readily agreed.

Huo Nanxiao said unhappily, "I had no idea the Ling family had a penchant for raising other people's children. Does Ling Xiao have no shame?"

"If Mr. Huo hadn't mentioned it, I almost forgot to tell you. These three children immigrated not long ago, and their household registrations are now under my eldest brother's name. Abroad, my eldest brother is their guardian, that is, their father," Ling Shuang reminded her with a smile.

Xia Ningxi's face stiffened, and she immediately grabbed Ling Shuang's hand, signaling her to stop talking.

But Ling Shuang didn't give Huo Nanxiao that kind of face.

Now that the Ling family has publicly acknowledged Xia Ningxi, it is necessary to assert their sovereignty. As for what Huo Nanxiao thinks, what does it have to do with her?

Huo Nanxiao, who was already in a bad mood, was in an even worse mood now, but he didn't show it. He just glanced at Xia Ningxi, his eyes unfathomable, making people feel uneasy.

Until Ling Shuang left, Huo Nanxiao remained silent, keeping his head down as he processed his files.

Xia Ningxi breathed a sigh of relief, quietly stood up, and prepared to sneak away.

"Stop." Huo Nanxiao suddenly spoke.

Xia Ningxi paused in her tracks. "Is something the matter?"

"Don't you have anything to explain to me?" Huo Nanxiao asked.

Xia Ningxi took a deep breath: "If it's about the children, there's really no point in explaining. No matter whose household registration the children are under, they are your biological children. I have custody of them, and it's none of your business who I want the children to live with, right?"

"Xia Ningxi! Do you really think I have no temper?" Huo Nanxiao slammed the watch in his hand on the table in anger. He strode up to her, pinched her cheek with one hand, and his anger was so intense it could almost devour a person.

Xia Ningxi trembled all over. She bit her lip and mustered her courage to say, "I've made myself very clear. This has nothing to do with you."

Huo Nanxiao was furious: "I can give you custody of the children, and I can let you take all three children with you, but I will never allow my children to go with another man and become someone else's children!"

“I said, in terms of blood ties, no one can replace your biological father. As for the rest, that’s your problem. If you can’t accept it, that’s your own business. I can accept you having a child with Xia Wanwan, so why can’t you accept me taking the child and going to live with another man?” Xia Ningxi retorted.

Enraged, Huo Nanxiao punched her.

However, the fist did not land on Xia Ningxi's face, but instead smashed into the wall behind her.

With a loud bang, she felt the wall shake, and when she looked at Huo Nanxiao's hand, she noticed blood on it.

Xia Ningxi opened her mouth, wanting to say something, but when faced with Huo Nanxiao's raging anger, she swallowed back the words that were about to come out.

Never mind, there's no point in explaining.

She needs an identity abroad, and her child needs a complete family. There's nothing wrong with seeking refuge with Ling Xiao; at least it's a good thing for Xia Ningxi and her child.

Whether Huo Nanxiao can accept it or not is his business.

Xia Ningxi didn't want to explain too much to Huo Nanxiao, nor did she want to encounter this kind of thing again. She planned to ignore Huo Nanxiao starting today.

The children noticed Xia Ningxi's attitude and naturally distanced themselves from Huo Nanxiao.

Huo Nanxiao was not angry after learning of their attitude. He stayed in the villa to take care of the children for two days, and only left after they had fully recovered.

Xia Ningxi didn't know where he went.

She restarted her life, sending her children to kindergarten every morning before going to work at the hospital. She also hired a nanny to take care of the children's daily needs.

After Lin Jiangbei fully recovered, Xia Ningxi took over his care again and developed a new treatment plan for him.

Lin Jiangbei was overjoyed. "Sister Xia, I've been so bored these past few days without you. I've been thinking about you constantly."

"Would you like me to give you acupuncture?" Xia Ningxi asked in return.

Lin Jiangbei smiled and said, "That's right."

"Others get more and more afraid after getting injections, but you're the opposite, you get stronger with each setback." Xia Ningxi smiled, though she was teasing Lin Jiangbei, she was genuinely happy for him.

Lin Jiangbei smiled and said, "Of course. I want to become a big star in the entertainment industry in the future. I must get better quickly and prove it to my mother."

“Okay, I believe you too. When you become famous, you must give me an autographed photo. I want an exclusive autographed photo.” Xia Ningxi said.

Lin Jiangbei immediately pulled out his photo from the drawer, quickly wrote his name on it, and said, "Here, this is your autographed photo. Keep it safe. I will definitely become a top star in the future."

Xia Ningxi gladly accepted it.

Lin Jiangbei asked curiously, "How many tumors do I still have in my brain?"

"There are over a hundred more of them, varying in size, but it's okay. We've already removed the most dangerous ones. You just need to cooperate with our treatment, and you'll definitely recover," Xia Ningxi encouraged him.

Lin Jiangbei clenched his fist: "That's right, I will definitely recover, I will definitely get better. When that happens, I will hold the grandest banquet in the world and invite everyone to come and eat. I haven't had a big meal in a long time. I want to eat roast goose."

Xia Ningxi chuckled. This kid was really starving. Being able to eat a piece of braised pork was already a luxury for him.

However, she is confident in herself, believing that as long as Lin Jiangbei is positive, optimistic, and cooperates with the treatment, anything is possible.

Xia Ningxi pushed Lin Jiangbei around outside the hospital. When they saw someone selling flowers outside, Xia Ningxi bought a bouquet and gave it to Lin Jiangbei.

Coincidentally, Tian Chunxia witnessed this scene. She got out of the car with a big smile and said, "Jiangbei, you like flowers?"

Lin Jiangbei said, "This was a gift from Dr. Xia, and I really like it."

Tian Chunxia was very grateful to Xia Ningxi: "Thank you."

"It's all the best we can do." Xia Ningxi bought an extra bouquet for Tian Chunxia and said, "Jiangbei's health has been recovering quite well lately. You can take him to the park more often when you have time."

"Really? That's wonderful!" Tian Chunxia cried tears of joy.

Xia Ningxi said, "Mrs. Tian doesn't need to be too anxious. As long as he cooperates with the treatment, we have the ability to cure him."

"Okay, okay, I believe you." Tian Chunxia nodded repeatedly, then suddenly remembered that someone had gone to the police station to bail Xia Luoluo out earlier that day. She said, "Dr. Xia, I heard that Xia Wenhe came to Lingcheng. Are you aware of this?"

"I don't know." Xia Ningxi shook her head.

Tian Chunxia said, "Xia Wenhe wants to bail Xia Luoluo out and is already going through the procedures. I'm worried that Huo Nanxiao will get involved in this matter. Once Huo Nanxiao gets involved, things will become very complicated."

"I understand, thank you for reminding me, Mrs. Tian." Xia Ningxi smiled slightly.

In fact, Xia Ningxi already had a decision in mind about this matter. Even if Huo Nanxiao didn't care about Xia Luoluo, someone else would protect her.

The only person the Xia family can rely on now is Xia Luoluo. Zhou Fenglin knows very well that Xia Wanwan cannot hold onto the position of the young mistress of the Huo family, and will definitely try every means to make Xia Luoluo take her place.

She couldn't bear to let her only able-bodied daughter spend the rest of her life in prison.

Xia Ningxi had no idea what methods they would use to get the person out.

She worked diligently at the hospital and also went to the laboratory in the afternoon. Her busy day left her with no extra time to think about the Xia family's affairs.

When Xia Ningxi returned home after a long day of work, she had already learned from Chu Xinran that Xia Luoluo had been released.

After being released on bail, Xia Luoluo immediately bought the next available plane ticket and rushed back to the capital, spreading the word that Xia Ningxi had returned to the country.

The story had already taken on a different meaning when it came from Xia Luoluo's mouth. By the time it reached other people's ears, it had become that Xia Wanwan and Xia Ningxi had fought each other and ended up in jail for fighting over Huo Nanxiao.
