Chapter 534 It was actually Xia Ningxi
"Does this family have no shame?!" Xia Jingcheng tore up the invitation and said to Xia Ningxi, "I'm not going. Who do they think they are? Do they even deserve to invite you?"
Xia Jingcheng looked like he wanted to devour someone alive, radiating fierce anger.
Xia Ningxi said, "She probably wanted to take this opportunity to assert her dominance. However, I'm curious whether this was Xia Wanwan's idea or Xia Luoluo's idea to lure me over and embarrass me."
"No matter who it is, there's not a single good person in that family." Xia Jingcheng attacked indiscriminately; he loathed Xia Wanwan and her entire family!
"Brother, there's no need to be angry. I won't go," Xia Ningxi reassured him.
Xia Jingcheng breathed a sigh of relief: "Don't take this to heart. Anyway, even if Xia Wanwan gets engaged to Huo Nanxiao, she won't be able to hold onto her position as the young mistress of the Huo family. Their family won't be happy for long."
After a pause, Xia Jingcheng looked worried again: "Once this engagement banquet is held, the capital city will probably change drastically. If you continue to work in the capital city, you will inevitably be pointed at and gossiped about. Why don't you quit your job?"
“No, I have several seriously ill patients who can’t live without me,” Xia Ningxi refused.
Xia Jingcheng said, "It would be the same if it were handed over to other doctors."
“If other doctors could treat it, they wouldn’t have referred it to me,” Qin Weiqian replied.
Xia Jingcheng looked worried: "I'm just afraid that people will talk behind your back when you get to the hospital."
"I'm at the hospital treating patients, not listening to gossip. I'll just let what others say go in one ear and out the other. I can't just quit such a good job because of what others say about me, can I?" Qin Weiqian retorted.
Seeing that she was determined, Xia Jingcheng sighed silently, "Alright, since you want to stay, I won't try to persuade you anymore, but..."
“Brother, don’t worry. I’ve been sending my resume to research institutions abroad recently,” Xia Ningxi replied.
Xia Jingcheng said, "Going to ordinary research institutes and hospitals is useless, and it's also very difficult to get into classified departments."
"It's okay, take it slow. If all else fails, I can go back to Tang En, he'll accept me." Xia Ningxi smiled and didn't take the matter to heart.
"If you go back with Tang En, won't the Ling family all find out?" Xia Jingcheng asked.
Xia Ningxi fell silent. If the Ling family found out, they would probably cause her trouble again. She decided to let it go. There was nothing wrong with staying in the capital city. At least her current salary was high. She could leave after finding a suitable job. There was no rush.
"Knock knock!"
Two crisp sounds came from outside the door.
"Who is it?" Xia Ningxi asked in confusion.
There was no response from outside the door, but the knocking continued.
Xia Ningxi went to open the door and met Yao Qing with a mischievous grin.
"Dr. Xia, our master is waiting for you."
As Yao Qing spoke, he stepped aside. Behind him stood a gentle and refined man with a noble and extraordinary aura.
The man looked at her with a half-smile. "Ready?"
"Prepare what?" Xia Ningxi asked, puzzled.
Li Yancheng said, "Are you planning to stay at home and be a coward?"
"I need to take care of my child."
Xia Ningxi knew that Li Yancheng wanted her to attend Huo Nanxiao's engagement party, but she didn't want to join in the fun.
Li Yancheng said, "Bring the child along, let's go together."
"Are you just bored and have nothing better to do? Huo Nanxiao is engaged, why are you going to join in the fun? Are you planning to compete with him for Xia Wanwan?" Xia Ningxi said sarcastically.
"Ha, I wouldn't want that woman even if she were given to me," Li Yancheng said dismissively.
Yao Qing was getting tired of standing and couldn't help but say, "Dr. Xia, you're already dressed, why don't you come along? Young Master Li has been waiting for you for a long time. If you attend the banquet with Young Master Li, I guarantee that no one will dare to mock you. This is much better than going by yourself."
“Who said I was going to Huo Nanxiao’s engagement party? I’m not going.” Xia Ningxi refused.
Yao Qing said sourly, "If you don't go, the whole hospital will be talking about you when you go to work tomorrow. If you go with Young Master Li, they will only envy you, which will save you a lot of trouble. You are a smart person, you should know how to make a decision."
They had planned everything out in advance.
I also know that Xia Ningxi won't refuse.
Unless Xia Ningxi wants to be gossiped about behind her back.
After careful consideration, Xia Ningxi accepted Li Yancheng's invitation.
The three children insisted on going with Xia Ningxi, but Yao Qing stopped them, as they didn't intend to bring three little burdens along.
Xia Ningxi got into Li Yancheng's car and watched the driver slowly start heading towards the banquet venue. She was puzzled: "Why are you doing this?"
"For no reason." Li Yancheng's voice was clear and crisp.
Xia Ningxi said, "I don't believe you went to the engagement party just to help me."
"Of course I'm not helping you, stop trying to make yourself look good." Li Yancheng snorted coldly.
"That's good." Xia Ningxi breathed a sigh of relief.
Although she didn't know what Li Yancheng was planning, Xia Ningxi was too lazy to ask, since it was none of her business anyway.
After the rush hour, the roads weren't so congested, and they quickly arrived at the banquet venue.
The hotel was surrounded by expensive luxury cars, each worth tens of millions, which shows how distinguished the people attending the engagement banquet were.
"My God, it's Young Master Li! Young Master Li actually came!"
A gasp suddenly came from the crowd.
All eyes turned to the all-black Bugatti behind them, following the woman's exclamation. When they saw Li Yancheng, the eyes of the major media outlets lit up. But when they looked at the person next to him, everyone gasped in shock.
"Xia Ningxi!"
"It's actually Xia Ningxi!"
"She actually came to Huo Shao's engagement ceremony? Has she gone mad?"
"Is she here to cause trouble?"
Everyone was shocked.
Xia Ningxi remained calm, her beautiful face devoid of any unusual emotion. She smiled gracefully at the reporters before entering the banquet hall with Li Yancheng.
The moment they stepped through the banquet hall doors, the guests inside noticed them.
Jin Mingxi, who was drinking red wine, froze in mid-air with his hand holding the wine glass.
Helian Jue frowned, his expression unusual.
Ji Feibai, on the other hand, had an expression that suggested he was enjoying the show, and his excitement was barely concealed.
"Why is she here?" Fu Xiyu asked in a low voice.
"Who?" Xia Wanwan asked in confusion.
“Xia Ningxi,” Fu Xiyu replied.
Xia Wanwan and Huo Nanxiao turned around almost simultaneously and looked towards the door. What came into view was a couple with outstanding looks. The man was wearing a dark blue swallowtail coat, which made him look noble and extraordinary, while the woman was wearing a light blue fishtail dress, which made her look bright and beautiful. Standing next to Li Yancheng, they looked very well-matched, like they were wearing matching outfits.
The appearance of the two caused quite a stir.
