Chapter 563 You Doubt Me
"What crime did you plead guilty to?"
"That's my own sister, how could I possibly harm her?"
"It was clearly you who secretly poisoned my sister. Who else in this world would be so jealous of my sister besides you?"
Xia Luoluo vehemently denied it, since there was no way to prove it to her. Xia Ningxi didn't have any absolute evidence, so she couldn't be blamed.
Outsiders would not suspect that she, the younger sister, would harm her own older sister for no reason.
If it wasn't Xia Luoluo who did it, then who was the one who did it?
Besides Xia Ningxi, are there any more suitable candidates?
Obviously not.
Xia Wenhe and Zhou Fenglin naturally chose to stand on the side of their biological daughter, and both began to criticize Xia Ningxi.
Xia Wenhe said, "Ning Xi, even if you're jealous of Wanwan, you can't harm her. You know she's in poor health, so why would you do something like this?"
Zhou Fenglin directly asked Huo Nanxiao to stand up for her: "Young Master Huo, you must stand up for Wanwan. She offended Xia Ningxi because of you back then, and now she has been poisoned and murdered by Xia Ningxi. We can't just let it go like this."
All the blame was directed at Xia Ningxi. Zhou Fenglin and Xia Wenhe didn't even suspect Xia Luoluo. In their minds, only Xia Ningxi would do something so heinous.
Huo Nanxiao probably felt that Xia Wanwan had been taken care of by Tang En and the others during this period, and now that Xia Wanwan was in trouble, he naturally began to doubt whether Xia Ningxi and Tang En had taken her seriously.
"How do you explain this?" Huo Nanxiao's deep gaze fell on Xia Ningxi, and the chill emanating from him was almost enough to devour a person.
Xia Ningxi said, "It's Xia Luoluo."
"Wanwan is my own sister, how could I possibly harm her?" Xia Luoluo immediately denied.
Xia Ningxi ignored her and said to Huo Nanxiao, "I found out that Xia Wanwan was poisoned. I specifically told her about it, but she chose to protect Xia Luoluo and would rather suffer the loss herself to keep it a secret. She even asked me to keep it a secret for her. But I didn't expect that not long after I left Xia Wanwan's ward, Xia Wanwan was poisoned. Xia Luoluo was by her side when she was in trouble."
She recounted the whole story.
Even so, Xia Luoluo would not admit it.
Xia Luoluo denied it: "Nonsense, it was clearly you who poisoned my sister and I found out later."
"If I wanted to harm Xia Wanwan, I would have had plenty of opportunities. There was absolutely no need for me to do it to her in the hospital room. Wouldn't that be telling everyone that I'm a murderer? I'm not that stupid, and I would never do such a thing," Xia Ningxi said sarcastically.
Xia Luoluo: "But I'm her own sister, I have even less reason to do such a thing."
“You do.” Xia Ningxi stepped in front of Xia Luoluo and said, “You want immense wealth. Your sister was killed by me, and you can be the one to benefit.”
"Nonsense!" Xia Luoluo panicked inside, but pretended to be calm on the surface. In reality, she was more scared than anyone else.
At this moment, facing Xia Ningxi's relentless pressure, Xia Luoluo was filled with fear. But she knew that being afraid was useless now; she had to stir up public sentiment and get everyone on her side.
So, Xia Luoluo cried to her parents, "Father, Mother, she framed me!"
Zhou Fenglin pointed at Xia Ningxi and cursed, "You vicious woman! Who else could harm my daughter but you? I think you did it right. You can't deny it today!"
“I didn’t do it, why should I admit it?” Xia Ningxi retorted.
Zhou Fenglin said, "This isn't the first time you've harmed Wanwan. You're the only one here who would do something like this."
This angered Tang En: "Bullshit! The hospital has records of every medicine we prescribed for Xia Wanwan. There was no poison in any of them. The fact that the patient was poisoned while living with you people can only mean that you were the ones who did it."
“Since you know Xia Ningxi, you will naturally stand on her side and speak up for her.” Zhou Fenglin scoffed disdainfully, then turned to Huo Nanxiao and said, “Young Master Huo, Xia Ningxi’s hatred for Wanwan is nothing new. Everyone in the capital knows about it. In my opinion, she poisoned Wanwan and when she was discovered, she killed Wanwan in a moment of desperation.”
Huo Nanxiao ignored Zhou Fenglin and instead inquired about the nurses and bodyguards responsible for looking after Xia Wanwan.
"Tell me, what happened?"
The bodyguard answered tremblingly, "Miss Wanwan met with Dr. Xia and Miss Xia Er before the accident. Because we were not allowed to enter the ward, I don't know what they talked about."
The nurse replied, "Shortly after Dr. Xia left the ward, Miss Xia Er arrived. The two seemed to have had an argument. I ran in after hearing the noise, but Miss Wanwan was already dead."
"I heard the noise too, and when I went in, the blankets were all torn to pieces."
"I wonder what kind of argument Miss Xia Er had with Xia Wanwan."
Everyone chimed in with their own opinions, and by the end, it was clear that things were turning against Xia Luoluo.
Xia Luoluo said angrily, "You're talking nonsense. I was just about to pour my sister some water when I noticed her pale face. In my panic, I dropped the glass. So, my sister had already had an accident before I entered the ward."
Zhou Fenglin chimed in, "Young Master Huo, Luo Luo is my daughter. She would never do anything to harm her own sister. It must be that Xia Ningxi poisoned Wanwan and was discovered, so she tried to kill Wanwan and frame Luo Luo."
“Wanwan and Luoluo grew up together and are very close sisters. How could a younger sister harm her own older sister? No one would believe that if this were said, so it must have been Xia Ningxi who did it.”
Xia Wenhe also said, "This isn't the first time Ning Xi has done something like this."
The family stood together, shifting all the blame onto Xia Ningxi.
Their unanimous opinions left Xia Ningxi speechless.
For someone with a dark past like her, harming Xia Wanwan was indeed a perfectly normal thing to do.
But for some reason, at this moment she really wanted to know what Huo Nanxiao thought.
She wanted to know if Huo Nanxiao doubted her like everyone else.
But the moment she met the man's gaze, all she saw was endless indifference. It seemed that Huo Nanxiao held the same thoughts as everyone else on this matter.
"Do you think so too?" Xia Ningxi asked him.
Huo Nanxiao asked, "Is the poison Wanwan was poisoned related to you?"
"You doubt me?" Xia Ningxi chuckled.
Huo Nanxiao: "Is there?"
A cold remark made Xia Ningxi's heart clench painfully.
The bitterness in her heart almost consumed her; she didn't even listen to what Huo Nanxiao was saying before turning and leaving.
But Zhou Fenglin stopped her, saying, "You're not allowed to go anywhere. We need a reasonable explanation for what happened today!"
Xia Luoluo chuckled inwardly, then feigned pitifulness and said, "Xia Ningxi, even if you hate my sister, you can't do this. She's already in poor health, yet you insist on putting her to death. Do you have any conscience?"
Everyone's gaze towards Xia Ningxi changed, filled with disgust. No one expected that a doctor would do such a heinous thing.
However, An Yao, who was also standing in the crowd, saw Xia Ningxi being bullied and stood up: "You are talking nonsense. She did not poison Xia Wanwan at all."
