Chapter 265 What a display of power!
Huo Nanxiao did not want to discuss any conditions with Xia Ningxi.
"Both children must stay with me and be raised by me." Huo Nanxiao's attitude was very firm.
Xia Ningxi objected: "No, I must take the child with me."
Huo Nanxiao's face turned cold: "You're taking him away? Where are you taking the child?"
“This is my business, it’s none of your concern,” Xia Ningxi said without explanation.
Huo Nanxiao's cold face remained expressionless. "You can give up on that idea."
“They are my sons, so they should live with me.” Xia Ningxi said, somewhat agitated.
Huo Nanxiao remained expressionless: "Impossible."
Xia Ningxi was furious and, in a fit of rage, overturned Huo Nanxiao's table.
The man said coldly, "You're getting bolder and bolder!"
"I'm informing you, not asking for your opinion!" Xia Ningxi said firmly.
Huo Nanxiao snorted coldly: "If you're really capable, you can take my two sons away from me."
"Okay!" Xia Ningxi clenched her fists, suppressing the fire in her heart, and turned to leave.
To everyone's surprise, the next day all the major news outlets were reporting on Xia Xingxing's news.
The entire capital city was in shock!
Xia Xingxing's appearance shocked the entire upper class! No one expected that Huo Nanxiao actually had a son outside, but when they carefully investigated Xia Xingxing's information, they discovered that this child actually had another mother, Xia Xixi.
Further investigation revealed that Xia Xixi was actually just a work alias. She was actually from the capital city and had changed her name when she went abroad for further studies many years ago. Her real name was Xia Ningxi, a native of the capital city.
This very woman secretly abducted Huo Nanxiao's other son!
Xia Ningxi's name resounded throughout the entire capital city overnight!
Xia Ningxi was completely unaware of all this. After having breakfast with her two children, she went to work at the research center, only to be stared at by countless colleagues whose gazes seemed to pierce through her, making her feel very uncomfortable.
Xia Ningxi ignored the mixed gazes of the crowd and returned to her work post.
"Heh, Xia Ningxi, you're quite something." Suddenly, a mocking voice rang out. The speaker was He Yaxuan, who was also in charge of the research project with Xia Ningxi.
Xia Ningxi asked, puzzled, "What do you mean?"
He Yaxuan said sourly, "I was wondering before how you, with your notorious reputation, ended up being transferred to our research center and becoming my colleague. Turns out it's because you climbed the social ladder by marrying into the Huo family. You're really something."
A hint of displeasure flashed across Xia Ningxi's beautiful face: "Just do your job."
"Tsk tsk, what a big shot you are, lecturing me now. Do you think that just because you've climbed the social ladder by marrying into the Huo family, you can secure your position as the young mistress of the Huo family? Don't you even look in the mirror and see what you look like? Someone like you doesn't deserve to marry into a wealthy family!" He Yaxuan mocked.
Then he said disdainfully, "I really don't understand why the dean would let a piece of trash like you be my colleague and do research with me. Not only are you a hindrance, but you're also dirty."
A cold light appeared in Xia Ningxi's clear eyes as she stared at He Yaxuan and said, "If you don't want to do this, you can resign. Nobody is forcing you."
"Hmph, if I resign, won't you be able to keep this cushy job all to yourself? You're truly cunning and shameless," He Yaxuan cursed.
Xia Ningxi ignored her.
She had only been away from work for a few days, but everyone in the research center seemed to have changed. People who had previously had a good relationship with Xia Ningxi all avoided her, and not a single person dared to come up and greet her.
Xia Ningxi wasn't used to it at first, but later she felt it was pretty good, at least no one bothered her.
Because she hadn't been to work for several days, Xia Ningxi had fallen behind in her work, and the cells she was culturing had undergone some changes, requiring her to write a report to summarize them.
She had been busy in the lab all day and finally finished. She was about to go to the dean with her report when she tripped over something and fell hard as she walked past He Yaxuan, spilling a glass of liquid.
Xia Ningxi wasn't injured, but the report she had worked on all day was completely soaked, and most of the writing on it was blurred.
"Oh dear, how could you be so careless?" He Yaxuan asked in surprise.
Xia Ningxi glared at her: "You did this on purpose?"
He Yaxuan said, "What on purpose?"
Xia Ningxi watched as she pretended to be stupid, her face hardened, and she walked over step by step, her aura chillingly cold.
For some reason, He Yaxuan was intimidated by Xia Ningxi's powerful aura. Her expression changed slightly, and she angrily retorted, "What do you want to do?"
Xia Ningxi grabbed her ponytail and ripped her haughty face down. "I didn't provoke you. You provoked me first, so don't blame me for being impolite."
"Let me go!" He Yaxuan screamed in pain.
Xia Ningxi let go of her hand and pushed her away.
He Yaxuan lost her balance and slammed into the table. The impact caused her lower abdomen to ache so much that tears streamed down her face. She was furious. "How dare you push me? Do you know who I am?!"
"I don't care who you are." Xia Ningxi snorted coldly, picked up her report that had fallen to the ground, and went back to write a new one.
He Yaxuan was in so much pain that she cried and ran to her boss to complain. She even embellished her story and told others about it.
News of Xia Ningxi's attack on another member of the team on her first day at work quickly spread throughout the research center.
The leader didn't say anything to Xia Ningxi, but told He Yaxuan that Xia Ningxi was someone the Huo family had put in, and that she should stay away from Xia Ningxi and not provoke her.
But how could He Yaxuan swallow this insult?
Not seeing Xia Ningxi receive the punishment she deserved, she became even angrier and stormed home to complain.
What Xia Ningxi didn't know was that He Yaxuan's mother was actually Fu Yanghui's younger sister, and she was also a cousin of the Fu family.
That same day, Fu Xiyu called Huo Nanxiao to inquire about the matter.
"She hit my cousin at the research institute today. How do you plan to handle this?"
"No action will be taken."
Huo Nanxiao's voice was icy cold.
Fu Xiyu said, "Our Fu family is very angry right now."
Huo Nanxiao said, "And then?"
“If she’s one of yours, let her apologize to Ya Xuan properly, and that will be the end of it. But if she’s not one of yours, the Fu family will take action,” Fu Xiyu replied.
Huo Nanxiao said, "You can't touch her."
Fu Xiyu was furious: "Do you still want to protect her?"
Huo Nanxiao's cold face remained unmoved: "No one but me can touch her."
