Chapter 163 Aggressive
Fu Xiyu carefully examined Xia Ningxi and thought that although the woman in front of him was quite beautiful, her fashion sense was terrible. He figured she wasn't someone who had seen much of the world, since it was the first time he had ever met a woman dressed in formal attire to attend a birthday banquet.
Looking around, all the girls at the birthday banquet were wearing evening gowns, but Xia Ningxi stood out from the crowd.
Fu Xiyu couldn't understand why Huo Nanxiao would bully his own sister for the sake of such an ordinary person.
"Nan Xiao, Mingyan was just trying to be helpful by reminding her, why are you being so aggressive?"
Huo Nanxiao said, "Didn't anyone teach her not to meddle in other people's affairs?"
“Mingyan is doing this for your own good. This is the first time in years that you’ve brought a female companion to a large banquet. You should dress appropriately so that people won’t laugh at you,” Fu Xiyu replied.
Xia Ningxi said, "Young Master Fu has misunderstood. I am just Young Master Huo's private doctor. My duty is to take care of Young Master Huo, not to be his female companion."
Fu Xiyu was very surprised.
There are countless people in the entire capital who want to get involved with Huo Nanxiao. Take the people who came to the banquet today, for example. Most of the unmarried women here are here because of Huo Nanxiao!
They all dream of marrying Huo Nanxiao, so why is she in such a hurry to distance herself from him?
Doesn't she know how precious it is to be Huo Nanxiao's companion?
Fu Xiyu couldn't help but glance at Xia Ningxi a few more times.
"Nan Xiao, where did you find this doctor? He has quite a temper," Fu Xiyu asked.
Huo Nanxiao said coldly, "What? You have a problem with her?"
“I’m quite interested in her. My grandmother is here today too. She’s been in poor health, so I’d like to have Dr. Xia take a look at her. I also want to see if she’s really as amazing as people say,” Fu Xiyu said.
Before Huo Nanxiao could even speak, Xia Xingxing immediately retorted, "No way. Your Fu family is so rich, surely you can afford a private doctor too?"
Fu Mingyan said softly, "Xiao Huo Yuan, don't get excited. We just want to see if Xia Ningxi is really as amazing a doctor as the outside world says. We want to take this opportunity to test her medical skills."
“Her medical skills are excellent, it’s none of your business to question them.” Xia Xingxing pouted and raised her little face.
Zhang Lina added, "I don't know if her medical skills are good or not, but judging from the recent rumors, Dr. Xia's methods of seducing men are quite sophisticated."
Xia Xingxing was furious when she heard this!
How could he allow others to slander his mother like that!
Xia Xingxing's face turned ashen with anger, and she was about to retort when Xia Ningxi stopped her.
Xia Ningxi smiled and said, "If any of you have any doubts about my medical skills, you can come to the Traditional Chinese Medicine Hospital to find me. I am only serving Young Master Huo now."
Fu Mingyan said, "Are you scared? Humph, then you're just all talk and no action."
The people around Xia Ningxi looked at her with disdain.
They knew very well that the older a doctor was, the more capable they became. At Xia Ningxi's age, she was at most an intern. How could she possibly become a department head based on her own abilities?
They only needed to ask around a little to find out that Xia Ningxi was able to become the director thanks to Huo Nanxiao.
Fu Mingyan's words were clearly a provocation to Xia Ningxi.
Everyone was waiting for Xia Ningxi's answer, hoping she would embarrass herself.
But to everyone's disappointment, Xia Ningxi did not argue with them; she simply smiled and remained silent.
Faced with everyone's predicament, Xia Ningxi chose to retreat behind Huo Nanxiao, leaving this mess for Huo Nanxiao to handle himself. After all, most of the trouble these people caused her was because of Huo Nanxiao.
"Have you made enough of a scene?" Huo Nanxiao coldly uttered three words.
Fu Mingyan said, "Brother Nanxiao, I just wanted to see if your doctor is really as good as people say. Please don't be angry."
"I think you're just trying to cause trouble," Xia Xingxing added.
Fu Mingyan's face turned pale: "Little Huo Yuan, you can't say things like that."
"As soon as I arrived, you started making trouble for Dr. Xia, and even made veiled accusations that I wasn't wearing a formal dress and wanted to kick me out. I suppose the one you really dislike is me, not Dr. Xia."
As Xia Xingxing finished speaking, he suddenly became aggrieved. He pitifully grabbed Huo Nanxiao's hand and said, "Daddy, you can kick me out. I've embarrassed you."
Fu Mingyan's mind went blank for a moment, her whole body stiffened, and she was stunned for a few seconds. When had she ever said such a thing? Was "Huo Yuan" deliberately trying to drag her down with him?
Noticing Huo Nanxiao's extremely unpleasant expression, Fu Mingyan dared not have any objections. She hurriedly explained, "Little Huo Yuan, that's not what I meant. I've always liked you, how could I dislike you? You've misunderstood."
"Aunt Fu, you don't need to explain. I'll just go out." Xia Xingxing turned around, feeling wronged, and was about to leave.
Huo Nanxiao pulled Xia Xingxing's small body back and said to Fu Mingyan with a livid face, "Apologize."
Fu Mingyan quickly said, "Little Huo Yuan, I'm sorry, it was my fault, please don't be angry."
Xia Xingxing said, "You offended Dr. Xia, so you should apologize to Dr. Xia."
Fu Mingyan's face turned deathly pale in that instant, and she froze completely.
The people around Xia Xingxing were also shocked when they heard what she said.
Should Fu Mingyan apologize to Xia Ningxi?
Are you kidding me!
What is Xia Ningxi's identity? And what is Fu Mingyan's identity?
Huo Yuan was not only protecting Xia Ningxi, but he also took the opportunity to thoroughly humiliate Fu Mingyan.
Zhang Lina and Duan Rongrong couldn't help but glance at Fu Mingyan a few more times, while Fu Xiyu's face turned ashen, and he was quite angry.
But Xia Xingxing didn't care about any of that. Did he think he could just let it go so easily after the people who bullied his mother?
How could that be!
Xia Xingxing's attitude was very firm: "Aunt Fu, what are you still standing there for?"
Fu Mingyan clenched her fists, her face turning extremely pale.
Xia Xingxing raised her chin proudly, neither humble nor arrogant.
Fu Mingyan felt extremely aggrieved, but under Xia Xingxing's forceful coercion, she still forced herself to say to Xia Ningxi, "I'm sorry, Dr. Xia."
When Fu Mingyan said those words, she almost bit her teeth off.
Fu Mingyan felt extremely ashamed!
Xia Ningxi said, "Miss Fu comes from a prestigious family, so please watch your mouth in the future and don't believe everything you hear, lest you become a laughing stock."
Fu Mingyan's beautiful face showed an extremely ugly expression. In all her life, this was the first time she had been humiliated like this.
Fu Mingyan, feeling wronged, burst into tears and turned to Fu Xiyu, saying, "Brother..."
Fu Xiyu, his face grim, said to Xia Ningxi, "Since you are merely a servant of the Huo family, you should know that we are all honored guests. Is this how you treat honored guests?"
“You are guests of the Huo family, not my guests. Young Master Fu, you can’t act like a spoiled young master here.”
Xia Ningxi didn't even bother to roll her eyes at Fu Xiyu, and took Xia Xingxing's hand and left.
Fu Xiyu was furious. He asked Huo Nanxiao, "This is the woman you've set your sights on? What kind of person is she!"
