Chapter 497 We can't let her succeed.
When Li Yancheng saw the two sisters, he rolled his eyes so hard they almost reached the sky, making no attempt to hide his disgust for them.
Huo Nanxiao noticed it too, and his complicated gaze fell on Xia Wanwan as he asked, "Why are you back?"
"I'm a little worried about Ning Xi," Xia Wanwan replied.
"hehe."
Li Yancheng, who was in the corner, suddenly laughed.
Xia Wanwan knew that Li Yancheng was deliberately mocking them, but she ignored him and went to Huo Nanxiao's side on her own.
Huo Nanxiao asked, "Have you met just now?"
"I ran into Young Master Li when I went downstairs," Xia Wanwan answered truthfully.
Li Yancheng laughed and said, "Not only did I encounter it, but I also witnessed a joke."
"Since Young Master Li knows it's a joke, there's no need to bring it up to everyone." In front of outsiders, Xia Wanwan still defended Xia Luoluo quite a bit, at least not letting others bully her so easily.
If Li Yancheng knew what was good for him, he shouldn't meddle in other people's business.
But Li Yancheng just loves to meddle: "Are you afraid that others will find out what you're doing behind the scenes?"
Upon hearing this, everyone in the VIP room fell silent.
Everyone looked at Li Yancheng. Besides Huo Nanxiao and Xia Wanwan, there were also many doctors and nurses in the VIP room, including the president of Ninghai Hospital, who were all shocked.
They understood everything, yet it seemed like they didn't quite understand either.
Xia Wanwan's expression was not good, but she knew that Li Yancheng looked down on her, so Xia Wanwan wisely did not reply to Li Yancheng's words and sat next to Huo Nanxiao without saying a word, as if nothing had happened.
She remained silent, and the onlookers dared not speak out of turn.
However, the atmosphere in the VIP room was quite subtle.
The Qiu family waited outside the operating room for a full three hours without seeing Xia Ningxi and the others emerge. They grew impatient and hurriedly ran to the VIP room to find the hospital director.
Qiu Shiming asked, "How much longer do we have to wait? Three hours have already passed. How much longer do we have to wait before my daughter comes out?"
The dean said, "This is just the beginning. It will probably take at least another six hours, assuming everything goes smoothly."
"Wouldn't this surgery take almost ten hours? Can my daughter handle it?" Qiu Shiming was very worried.
The hospital director said, "As long as the doctor is in the operating room, nothing will happen to your daughter. Also, what you should be worried about is whether the doctor's body can handle it."
Qiu Shiming's face stiffened, and he suddenly shut his mouth, not daring to utter another word, and sat obediently to the side.
Fortunately, there was a monitor in the operating room, and he could clearly see the people in the operating room working hard at the operating table. No one was slacking off; everyone was very serious and busy, so there shouldn't be any mistakes.
Basically, everyone who enters the VIP room is someone who cares about the surgery, but there are a few exceptions.
Xia Luoluo stood in the VIP room for a full hour. She couldn't stand it anymore, so she went outside to find a quiet place to get some fresh air.
Xia Luoluo took out her phone and saw many unread text messages, all from Zhang Lina. She opened them and found they were voice messages.
"Lolo, have you seen the news?"
"That Xia Ningxi is really something, she can even make the news with a surgery, she has such a big face."
"Did you know about this? I heard that Young Master Huo went to Ninghai Hospital today. I don't know what he was thinking, or whether he should avoid suspicion."
Every word Zhang Lina uttered was filled with disdain.
Xia Luoluo returned her call, but within seconds she heard her friend's voice on the other end.
"Hey, Lolo?" Zhang Lina asked, somewhat surprised.
Xia Luoluo said, "I'm at Ninghai Hospital."
"You're also at Ninghai Hospital?" Zhang Lina was shocked.
Charlotte asked, "Are you here too?"
"Yeah, my uncle, that dim-witted idiot, I don't know what kind of spell he's been cast on, insisting on coming to Ninghai Hospital to join in the fun. I don't know what kind of fun he's going to have," Zhang Lina said sarcastically.
Charlotte said, "Where are you? I'm coming to find you."
"The smoking area on the second floor," Zhang Lina replied.
The two met quickly, and Zhang Lina was still complaining: "What is Xia Ningxi doing? She tricked my uncle so much that he didn't want to leave and wouldn't let me go. Just now, my uncle said that if the surgery is successful, he wants me to ask you to help him plead for Xia Ningxi to help his eldest son, who has had his leg amputated for five years, to have surgery too. What a joke!"
"And those media outlets in the capital city, they're all idiots with their brains filled with mush. It's just a surgery, why are so many people coming to interview it?"
"If Xia Ningxi really had this ability, wouldn't she have become an immortal?"
Zhang Lina's sarcastic remarks were tinged with sarcasm.
Xia Luoluo said, "If her surgery is successful, it will have a huge impact, because so far she is the first person in the capital to have this type of surgery."
"The first one? Impossible. There are plenty of people in the capital who get arm transplants. The main hospital alone performs many of these surgeries every year." Zhang Lina didn't believe it.
Xia Luoluo said, "Many people have their arms reattached, but they are using their own hands and don't have much of a rejection reaction. But this surgery is different. Just keeping the arm donated by the deceased alive is enough to give many doctors a headache."
"So she really does have some skills." Zhang Lina was surprised.
Charlotte said, "The one who's really capable isn't her, it's Don. Do you know what kind of people Don and his group are abroad? They only perform surgery on presidents."
"Xia Ningxi is shameless, actually using Tang En's fame to show off," Zhang Lina cursed.
"Yes, but if the surgery is successful, Xia Ningxi will definitely win over Old Master Huo. I bullied her before, and she will definitely get revenge on me."
Xia Luoluo lowered her head, looking worried.
Zhang Lina said, "No way, that woman wouldn't be that bold."
“She’s riding high right now. Even my sister’s condition has worsened because of her. What wouldn’t she dare to do? If Xia Ningxi finds out that you were behind the kidnapping of her child, the Zhang family will be in big trouble, and you’ll be implicated too.” Xia Luoluo suddenly looked at Zhang Lina with great anxiety.
Zhang Lina, who had only meant to make a casual remark, immediately changed her expression upon hearing these words.
"No way, this happened so long ago, and the kidnapper didn't implicate me. She couldn't possibly know," Zhang Lina said in a panic.
Charlotte said, "No, she already knows, and she's been looking for evidence recently."
"Are you really not lying to me?" Zhang Lina was terrified.
Xia Luoluo said firmly, "I didn't lie to you. Everything I said is true."
Zhang Lina was covered in cold sweat: "If Xia Ningxi finds out about me, and the Huo family finds out, I will be skinned alive. No, I absolutely cannot let Xia Ningxi succeed!"
