Chapter 568 We Cannot Sit and Wait for Death
Huo Nanxiao intended to suppress the matter, and specifically instructed the hospital director to remind the hospital staff. The director cooperated fully and held an internal staff training session that morning. The purpose was to keep everyone silent, especially when outsiders inquired about the matter, and not to answer a single question.
Although everyone was puzzled, since the dean had said so, they couldn't risk their jobs and futures, so they all kept quiet.
But just because they don't speak up doesn't mean others won't.
Xia Wenhe and Zhou Fenglin are still alive.
After Xia Luoluo was arrested, they immediately spread the word, trying to pin a dirty accusation on Xia Ningxi, all in order to clear Xia Luoluo's name.
Outsiders had no idea what was going on. They heard that Xia Wanwan had been poisoned right under the noses of that top-notch medical team, so they couldn't help but suspect Xia Ningxi. After all, Xia Ningxi and Xia Wanwan had a history of conflict, and Tang En was indeed someone Xia Ningxi had hired.
Rumors flew everywhere, almost all of them unfavorable to Xia Ningxi.
Xia Ningxi thought Huo Nanxiao would handle the matter well, but when she woke up in the morning, she found that things had become a mess, which made her very depressed.
Tang En couldn't swallow this insult. Early in the morning, he stormed over to find Xia Ningxi and angrily said, "It's obvious that someone is deliberately framing you. Is Huo Nanxiao blind? How could he tolerate such a thing happening? Has he lost his mind?"
Xia Ningxi said, "They probably wanted to save face for Xia Wanwan."
Xia Wanwan cares most about her reputation. She is afraid that the Xia family will lose face and be looked down upon, so she would rather swallow her anger than expose Xia Luoluo.
Tang En was even angrier: "Xia Wanwan's face is face, but yours isn't? Do you know what people outside are saying? They're all saying that we conspired to poison Xia Wanwan and almost killed her. If this gets out, your reputation in the industry will be ruined. Huo Nanxiao can't possibly not know that."
"Yes, he couldn't possibly not know," Xia Ningxi murmured to herself.
She gave Huo Nanxiao one night to deal with it, but this is the result.
So, did Huo Nanxiao choose to protect the Xia family and Xia Wanwan?
She felt uncomfortable and could only apologize to Tang En: "I'm sorry, I've dragged you into this. My reputation isn't the problem, but it has caused you all to be suspected. I will try my best to handle this matter and avoid involving you."
"You did nothing wrong. It's not you who wronged us, it's Huo Nanxiao. He really has no conscience at all. Even for Xia Wanwan's sake, he shouldn't have treated you like this. He couldn't possibly not know the seriousness of the matter. How could he do this!" Tang En was trembling with anger.
Xia Ningxi smiled bitterly: "The person he chooses has never been me. It was like that before, and it is like that now. I've gotten used to it. I was too stupid to naively think that Huo Nanxiao could handle things well."
Tang En said, "If Huo Nanxiao really wants to suppress this matter, you'll probably have to take the blame for it."
"I know." Xia Ningxi was aware of this.
If Huo Nanxiao really wants to protect Xia Wanwan's reputation, then she will inevitably be affected, which is undeniable.
"Don't worry, Tang En, I will absolutely not let this matter involve you." Xia Ningxi assured him.
Don said angrily, "I'm not angry because I was implicated, I'm angry because I feel sorry for you, and I can't swallow this."
The news has only just started spreading, and it's already having such a big impact. What will happen if we let it escalate for a few more days?
Xia Ningxi might not even be able to keep her current job.
Xia Xingxing carefully placed a cup of hot water on the table and said in her childish voice, "Uncle Tang En, have a cup of water first."
"Thank you, Xingxing." Tang En smiled slightly, picked up his water glass, took a sip, and noticed that there were still goji berries soaking in it. He smiled and said, "It tastes very good."
Xingxing sat down next to the two adults and said, "Are you sure it was Xia Luoluo who did it?"
Tang En glanced at Xia Ningxi, not really wanting to talk about this kind of thing in front of the child.
“Uncle Donn, it’s okay. I’m very tight-lipped. I will never tell anyone what you told me.” Xingxing immediately held up three fingers to vouch for him.
Don smiled and said, "I'm not trying to protect myself from you. This is an adult matter, and it's no use talking to a little kid like you."
"Although I can't be of much help, I can be a listener. I can listen to what you have to say," Xingxing said with a smile.
Xia Ningxi gently rubbed the little guy's head and said softly, "You don't need to worry so much."
"Daddy is so biased, I don't think we can let him have his way," Xingxing said indignantly.
Tang En smirked, "I think you're right. But this time, Huo Nanxiao is determined to protect the Xia family's reputation. If it really comes down to sacrificing someone, he might actually choose Xia Wanwan."
At this point, Tang En looked at Xia Ningxi seriously and said, word by word, "You may have to suffer some injustice."
Xia Ningxi had already endured this injustice, and now there were rumors circulating that she was the one who harmed Xia Wanwan.
Originally, it was thought that Huo Nanxiao could handle the matter well, but Huo Nanxiao actually suppressed the matter for Xia Wanwan's sake, making Xia Ningxi suffer the consequences. Isn't this bullying?
When Tang En left, he was furious, probably because he was angered by Huo Nanxiao.
The dean specifically called Xia Ningxi and told her to take a day off.
As for why Xia Ningxi was given a rest, a little thought will tell you.
It's estimated that things are in chaos at the hospital right now. The hospital director probably knows that Xia Ningxi's arrival will cause quite a stir, so he simply told Xia Ningxi not to come.
However, they only dared to tell Xia Ningxi not to go to the hospital, not Tang En, otherwise Tang En would also be suspected, and given Tang En's temper, he would definitely make things so awkward that neither of them could back down.
Perhaps, sacrificing Xia Ningxi was also Huo Nanxiao's intention.
Xia Ningxi was sulking all day because of this, so much so that she skipped breakfast and lunch and locked herself in her room, feeling depressed.
The three little ones sensed that their mother was unhappy, but they didn't dare to disturb her. However, they were also angry when they thought about how much their mother had been wronged.
The adorable little Chuchu gritted her teeth and said, "Daddy went too far! How dare he bully Mommy like this!"
Huo Yuan said, "It must have been Xia Wanwan who begged Daddy. He couldn't bear to see Xia Wanwan sad, so he chose to let Mommy take the blame."
"Why should Mommy take the blame? She didn't do anything like that!" Chu Chu was even angrier.
Huo Yuan lowered his head and said, "I don't know why Daddy did this."
Chu Chu turned around and asked Xingxing, "Brother Xingxing, we can't just sit here and wait to die."
“I know.” Xingxing already had a plan.
