Chapter 909 Let Me Cure Your Brain

Xia Ningxi didn't take Zhou Fenglin to heart, and she had no intention of having anything to do with this family.

No matter how crazy Zhou Fenglin went, she remained uninvolved and focused on her own affairs.

With the release of the latest research results, Xia Ningxi's value soared. Without anyone's explanation, Xia Ningxi was able to thrive in Lingcheng.

Those arrogant and powerful families treated Xia Ningxi very well.

The Ling family originally had many opinions about Xia Ningxi, but they couldn't argue that everyone is just an ordinary person who will get sick sometimes, and they generally wouldn't want to offend a doctor.

Most importantly, Xia Ningxi's attitude towards Ling Xiao was exactly the same as her attitude towards a business partner.

Cao Xiuxian secretly sent someone to investigate Xia Ningxi and found that she really didn't care about her precious son at all, which made her feel both depressed and angry.

At the new drug launch event, members of the Ling family also attended, joining Tang En and others in facing media interviews.

Throughout the press conference, Xia Ningxi remained remarkably quiet. Aside from work-related matters, whenever a reporter asked her about her relationship with Ling Xiao, Xia Ningxi resolutely denied it, refusing to acknowledge anything about Ling Xiao. This gave Cao Xiuxian plenty of confidence, as she was afraid Cao Xiuxian would think she wasn't good enough for Ling Xiao.

The more decisively Xia Ningxi refused, the angrier Cao Xiuxian became. She was seething with anger, and during intermission, she went backstage to find Xia Ningxi and asked, "Why did you deny the fact that you were married to Ling Xiao in front of the reporters just now?"

Xia Ningxi asked in confusion, "Isn't this better?"

"What's so good about him? My son has become a divorcee because of you, and you still won't acknowledge him. What do you take my son for?" Cao Xiuxian was even angrier.

Xia Ningxi looked slightly embarrassed: "Um, I don't admit it, it was just for Ling Xiao's sake."

"Do you think I'm stupid?" Cao Xiuxian disagreed.

Xia Ningxi said, "We're definitely getting a divorce. If we deny everything now, he can still claim it's his first marriage later. Isn't that good?"

Cao Xiuxian: "Are you looking down on my son? He's rich and powerful, but he's not afraid of anything, so what are you afraid of?"

"I'm doing this for your own good. Wouldn't it be easier for you to find a good daughter-in-law in the future?" Xia Ningxi countered.

After thinking about it carefully, Cao Xiuxian actually felt that Xia Ningxi was quite understanding, and she didn't know how to refute her for a moment.

Ling Shuang, who was standing nearby, found it amusing and stepped forward to take Cao Xiuxian's hand. "Aunt, please don't ask so many questions. There are too many people at today's press conference. If someone takes a picture and spreads rumors, the Ling family's shares will drop again."

"Alright, I know what I'm doing." Cao Xiuxian snorted inwardly, not wanting to explain any further.

Ling Shuang breathed a sigh of relief and said to Xia Ningxi, "Don't feel too much pressure."

Xia Ningxi smiled and said, "I don't know how. Okay, let's go to the meeting first. There's a group of reporters waiting for us outside."

After the new drug was released, Xia Ningxi's net worth increased, and most importantly, the entire team could receive dividends from the future profits of the new drug.

This income is immeasurable! Anyone who sees it will be envious.

Huo Nanxiao also heard about the press conference and ordered a bouquet of flowers to be delivered by Ye Su in person.

Ye Su asked curiously, "Isn't the president going to take a look?"

"I have a meeting this morning, so I can't go," Huo Nanxiao refused.

Ye Su said, "General Manager Zhang from Yancheng's flight was delayed and he won't arrive until tonight. The meeting has been postponed to tomorrow morning."

"Let's go take a look," Huo Nanxiao said in a low voice.

Ye Su smiled and said, "I'll go prepare right away."

When they arrived at the press conference venue, it was already packed with media, and they couldn't squeeze in at all.

He could only catch a glimpse of Xia Ningxi from afar. She sat in the middle of the crowd, surrounded by countless lights and media. Her delicate, fair face was exceptionally beautiful, almost too beautiful.

People love beauty, and they especially cherish beautiful things. Xia Ningxi was the most beautiful in the team, and almost everyone's attention was focused on her, making her stand out even more.

"Young Madam is truly outstanding. Even after leaving the capital, she continues to shine in her field. No wonder so many people admire her," Ye Su couldn't help but exclaim.

Huo Nanxiao smiled faintly, his expression indifferent: "She is naturally outstanding, otherwise no one would spend so much money to bring her back to the country."

He didn't go to find Xia Ningxi, but just watched from afar until the press conference ended, at which point Ye Su handed Xia Ningxi the flowers he had prepared in advance.

Xia Ningxi was surprised by her arrival and subconsciously looked around, but didn't see Huo Nanxiao. She asked, "He's here?"

"The president is outside. There are too many reporters here, so it's inconvenient for him to come over," Ye Su replied.

"I understand, thank you." Xia Ningxi accepted the flowers from Ye Su.

Ye Su said, "The president arrived at ten o'clock and stood outside for two hours."

Xia Ningxi's feelings were very complicated. At this moment, she didn't know what to say, nor did she dare to ask Huo Nanxiao why he came. She could only pretend that nothing was wrong and smiled faintly: "Please tell him thank you for me. However, please don't come to this kind of occasion again. I'm divorced from him, and his appearance will only bring me a lot of trouble."

“Young Madam, although Xia Wanwan is staying at President Huo’s house, President Huo has been staying at the company lately and rarely goes back,” Ye Su couldn’t help but remind her.

Xia Ningxi frowned: "Xia Wanwan is sick, he should go back to be with her. You should go back first, I still have things to do here."

"Okay." Ye Su agreed and turned to leave.

Xia Ningxi returned backstage.

Huo Nanxiao, who had been waiting outside for a long time, saw Ye Su come out alone. A complicated look flashed in his eyes. He asked, "What did Xia Ningxi say to you?"

“She told me to thank the president,” Ye Su replied.

Huo Nanxiao was clearly dissatisfied with this answer: "That's all?"

"More or less." Ye Su nodded.

Huo Nanxiao's breathing grew colder and colder: "What else did you say?"

"The president probably doesn't want to hear this," Ye Su replied awkwardly.

Huo Nanxiao: "Speak!"

Ye Su wiped away her cold sweat: "The young mistress said that there are many media present, and the president should avoid suspicion and spend more time with Xia Wanwan when he has time."

"Hmph!" Huo Nanxiao laughed angrily, suppressing his anger, and turned to leave.

Ye Su could only hurry to keep up.

Unseen by them, inside a black Porsche, Zhou Fenglin glared fiercely at Huo Nanxiao's departing figure and berated Xia Wanwan: "Look at you, what's the difference between you and a piece of trash if you can't even keep a man?"

"That's enough, why are you saying all this?" Xia Wanwan retorted angrily.

Zhou Fenglin: "Do you want to be outshone by Xia Ningxi?"

"Didn't you understand what Huo Nanxiao said last night? He doesn't care about me and he'll divorce me in the future. He's already said that, what else can I do? Haven't I humiliated myself enough times?" Xia Wanwan questioned.

Zhou Fenglin: "We can't just hand over our good life to others. No matter how hard our whole family works for ten lifetimes, we could never become as rich as the Huo family. You are already incredibly lucky to have married Huo Nanxiao. If you don't work hard, are you going to let the whole family starve?"

“I’ve tried my best to get you everything you want, but I’m not omnipotent. Huo Nanxiao can only give me so much. You can’t be too greedy,” Xia Wanwan said with a wry smile.

"Useless trash," Zhou Fenglin cursed angrily.

Xia Wanwan stopped offering explanations, dared not inquire about Huo Nanxiao, and dared not approach Xia Ningxi; she still had a sense of shame.

But Zhou Fenglin wasn't going to accept that, so he left his car parked on the side of the road, showing no intention of moving.

"We should go back," Xia Wanwan reminded them.

Zhou Fenglin said, "No rush, let's wait for Xia Ningxi to come out."

"With so many people watching, aren't you embarrassed enough?" Xia Wanwan asked.

Zhou Fenglin: "What are you afraid of? You are Huo Nanxiao's wife. She is the one who should be afraid, not you."

"Mother, let's not embarrass ourselves." Xia Wanwan still wanted to retain some self-respect.

Zhou Fenglin refused to leave and stubbornly stayed with Xia Wanwan until dark.

After the press conference ended, Xia Ningxi was in meetings all day. She didn't expect anyone to wait for her all day.

Tang En also noticed Zhou Fenglin and Xia Wanwan, and almost instinctively called out to Xia Ningxi, "I'll take you back."

"Okay." Xia Ningxi replied without hesitation.

"stop."

Zhou Fenglin suddenly caught up with them.

"What does Madam Zhou want to do?" Tang En asked bluntly.

Zhou Fenglin, however, didn't want to pay any attention to Tang En. His gaze fell on Xia Ningxi. "Why are you running? Didn't you hear me calling you?"

"I heard you, and then what?" Xia Ningxi asked languidly.

Zhou Fenglin: "You still dare to leave after hearing that?"

"Heh, who do you think you are? Do you expect me to listen to you? You can still pee even without a mirror, right? Is it so hard to take a piss and look at yourself?" Xia Ningxi's tone remained indifferent, her words full of disdain.

Having been holding back his anger all day, Zhou Fenglin suddenly snapped: "You shameless slut! You've already divorced Huo Nanxiao, yet you're still entangled with him. How can you act like this?"

"So that's what it was about? Huo Nanxiao looks down on your daughter. Look for the reasons within yourself. You come to me, do you think I can help you?" Xia Ningxi sneered.

Zhou Fenglin clenched his fists: "If you hadn't used the child as an excuse to pester Huo Nanxiao, why wouldn't he have time to spend with Wanwan? You should have gotten out of the country long ago."

“I think you should get your head checked,” Xia Ningxi said seriously.

Zhou Fenglin was unmoved. "You're the one who should be looking at your brain. How can you still have the face to stand in front of the media after doing such a despicable thing? Who are you trying to fool? Do you think you're so great just because you cured a few patients? Everyone knows you only got to stay in Tang En's team because you slept with him. You're nothing."

"You're talking nonsense!" Tang En was furious.

Zhou Fenglin: "Do I need to lie about your shameful affairs? Everyone knows that Xia Ningxi has no money or power, so how did she achieve what she has today? It's all because she was with you!"

Tang En's temples throbbed. He truly hadn't expected Zhou Fenglin to be so shameless as to say such things!

"Call the police." That was Tang En's only thought at that moment.

Zhou Fenglin sneered: "Since you've already done it, why are you afraid of what others will say? But don't worry, I won't tell anyone about this. I only have one goal: to keep her away from Huo Nanxiao."

Xia Ningxi has a bad temper, especially at times like this. She said to Tang En, "You go back first."

“No, how can I let you face this shrew alone? What if she turns into a mad dog and bites you?” Don refused.

Xia Ningxi: "Okay, then turn around."

Tang En didn't understand, but he still listened to Xia Ningxi and turned his back.

Snap—

A resounding slap echoed across the face.
