Chapter 1012 Too Greedy
These words thoroughly humiliated Xia Luoluo, and in her anger, she could no longer maintain her composure. She cursed at Ling Xiao, "Mr. Ling is supposed to be from the eldest branch of the Ling family, yet you are so ill-mannered. Anyone who doesn't know better would think that your whole family is like this."
"Miss Xia, you don't need to worry about how the Ling family is raised. If you really have nothing better to do, why don't you go find some reporters and media, publish some articles in the newspapers and online, and make a big fuss about the child in your belly? Maybe the Huo family will be unable to withstand the pressure and take responsibility for you." Ling Xiao took the initiative to suggest a solution for her.
Xia Luoluo had done all these things before with little effect. Huo Xiuyuan didn't even care about Xia Wanwan, let alone Xia Luoluo.
"I'm leaving." Ling Xiao said, starting the car and driving away.
He drove quite a distance before asking Xia Ningxi, "You must have had a very tough time lately."
"Not really, the patients are recovering very well, and my work is relatively easy." Xia Ningxi said with great satisfaction.
Ling Xiao: "It must be very tiring for you that these people are bothering you."
"They can't affect me." Xia Ningxi didn't take Xia Luoluo seriously at all.
Ling Xiao said, "If Xia Luoluo can't find Huo Nanxiao, she'll definitely turn her attention to you in the end. You need to be careful. If you need bodyguards, I can arrange more."
"I'm fine, but I've been busy going to the lab lately, so the child needs extra care," Xia Ningxi said.
Ling Xiao nodded: "No problem, you can rest assured about the children. My people will protect them."
"Thank you." Xia Ningxi was very grateful.
That evening, Xia Ningxi attended a press conference, and by the time she finished, it was already late at night.
These past few days, Xia Jingcheng has been taking care of the children at home, so Xia Ningxi has been able to take a break. After counting the time, she realized she wouldn't get more than a few hours of sleep when she got home, so she simply went back to the lab to record today's research data.
While her colleagues were working overtime to discuss their research findings, Xia Ningxi joined in. By the time everyone finished, it was already late at night. Despite being hungry, they were all awake and quietly waited for their takeout.
Tang En then noticed that Xia Ningxi was wearing an evening gown, and he was somewhat surprised: "You're attending an event today?"
“Yes, I’ll accompany Ling Xiao to the press conference.” Xia Ningxi nodded.
Tang En said, "The Ling family has made a fortune this year. No wonder Ling Xiao cares about you so much. But you can't let your guard down. No one in this world will be nice to you for no reason. After Lin Jiangbei recovers, the Ling family may stop funding our research. At that time, we will leave Ling City and return to Desla State."
“Okay.” Xia Ningxi didn’t plan to stay in Lingcheng forever.
However, it's because the Ling family has offered too many benefits, and they just happen to need this opportunity.
"By the way, how is Xia Wanwan doing?" Ellie asked.
Xia Ningxi shook her head: "I don't know either."
Ellie: "Who made the contact?"
Brian said, "I handled the handover. Xia Wenhe is still a decent person. He found a very skilled doctor to take over Xia Wanwan's care. I added that doctor as a friend. I heard that Xia Wanwan hasn't woken up yet, and maybe she won't wake up."
They were well aware of Xia Wanwan's condition; even if they changed doctors and used the best medicine, they might not be able to wake her up.
Tang En sighed helplessly: "Actually, after we cure her, she just needs to rest and recuperate, and she will soon be able to return to a normal life. Even if she can't get pregnant in a short time, it doesn't matter. As long as she is healthy, she can still have children in the future."
"The Xia family is too greedy and too impatient. They want too much, and in the end they get nothing."
Back then, the Xia family was considered a second-tier wealthy family in the capital, and their business was booming. They hadn't offended Huo Nanxiao, so as long as they were honest and law-abiding, they would have lived a very good life.
Don couldn't help but sigh.
Ellie said, "They're not just greedy, they're wicked. Knowing that Young Master Huo has a wife and children, they still resort to any means to climb up the social ladder. No wonder they raised two daughters who kill each other. Who will dare to arrange marriages for the two Xia sisters in the future?"
Don said, "I'm afraid all the eligible men in the entire capital city will avoid them."
"You can't blame others for that. If it were me, I wouldn't dare to associate with someone like that either," Ellie muttered under her breath.
Tang En expressed more concern for Xia Ningxi: "You need to be careful during this period. Once the Xia Group declares bankruptcy, Xia Luoluo will lose her source of income and livelihood. She can't afford to waste her time with Xia Wanwan now, and she might come looking for trouble for you. You need to be careful of this kind of person. No one can guarantee that she won't be blinded by hatred."
“Okay, I will.” Xia Ningxi replied.
After having a late-night snack, Xia Ningxi went to sleep in her office.
She stayed in the lab for the next few days without coming out.
It was a week later when she finished her work, just in time to pick up her three children from kindergarten and take them home for summer vacation.
Huo Xiuyuan heard from somewhere that the kindergartens were on holiday, so he arranged for someone to pick up and drop off the three children back to the capital city. He also specifically asked Xia Ningxi to come along to the Huo family's old house for a reunion dinner.
She couldn't refuse, so she had to agree.
Half a month later, Huo Xiuyuan's complexion was noticeably better, and his face no longer had that gloomy look. He seemed to be in a very good mood.
When he was in a good mood, Huo Nanxiao was scolded less when he got home.
"Dad, is there some good news lately? You seem very happy," Xia Ningxi asked curiously.
"The Xia family went bankrupt, and the Huo family has had far fewer negative news stories, which is indeed something to be happy about," Huo Xiuyuan replied.
Xia Ningxi was surprised: "So fast?"
Huo Xiuyuan nodded: "I didn't lift a finger this time. The Xia Group collapsed from within. Xia Wenhe is a good-for-nothing. He's run the company for so many years, yet he still managed to let someone run away with the money. It seems he's not a wealthy or powerful person. No wonder he can't live a good life."
"I see." Xia Ningxi hadn't been paying attention to news about the Xia Group, so she didn't know what Xia Wenhe had been up to lately.
Huo Xiuyuan said to her, "Once this matter is settled, you can bring the children back. It's not good to keep living in Lingcheng. It's always troublesome for me to see my grandchildren."
“They are living very well in Lingcheng. If Dad wants to see them, I will bring them back during the holidays.” Xia Ningxi smiled and did not agree to Huo Xiuyuan’s suggestion.
Huo Xiuyuan immediately looked at the three little ones and asked, "Would you like to come back and live with Grandpa?"
Xingxing immediately turned her face away and pretended to pick up food, while Chuchu lowered her head and shoveled large mouthfuls of rice into her bowl. Huo Yuan thought for a moment and shook his head.
Huo Yuan said, "Grandpa, we are living very well in Lingcheng, so we won't come back to live with you."
"Why? Is your place as nice as Grandpa's?" Huo Xiuyuan didn't understand.
Huo Yuan said, "We're used to living in Lingcheng, and we have our own good friends. On weekends, we also go to play in the sand with our classmates."
“I have a big beach, you can go play in the sand anytime you want,” Huo Xiuyuan said.
Huo Yuan continued to shake his head: "It's different."
