Chapter 810 I Want to See Her
Xia Ningxi had a vague premonition of something bad. Her beautiful eyes were fixed on the man surrounded by bodyguards. There were so many bodyguards around him that he was almost completely blocked from view, making it impossible to see him clearly.
Out of curiosity, she stood up to see the man's face clearly.
But when Xia Ningxi saw the man clearly, her beautiful face turned green instantly. She couldn't eat a single bite of food, quickly put down her juice, and turned to leave.
"Where are you going?" Ellie called out to her, puzzled.
Xia Ningxi: "Go home and take care of the kids. No matter who calls me later, tell them I'm busy, especially the Ling family, understand?"
"Are you afraid of them?" Ellie frowned.
Xia Ningxi didn't answer and walked away incredibly fast.
Ellie was completely bewildered: "Why are you running so fast? Do you think the Ling family will eat you?"
Xia Ningxi had no time to pay attention to her and disappeared in a few seconds.
Almost at the same time, the man surrounded by numerous bodyguards looked in the direction of Ellie, his sharp eyes revealing a sharpness and ruthlessness that was hard to see.
"Big brother, you're here!" Ling Shuang rushed over.
"Is everyone here?" Ling Xiao's voice was deep and powerful.
Ling Shuang nodded: "Everyone is here, and I've already finalized the cooperation details. All that's left is to sign the contract."
"Take me to see their research team first." Ling Xiao's words carried an irresistible pressure.
Ling Shuang nodded and led him to see Tang En.
Tang En's team is top-notch both domestically and internationally, with a core team of twelve people, all of whom are present today.
Ling Xiao stopped counting to eleven and asked Tang En, "Your team is one person short?"
"One member is feeling unwell and has gone back first." Tang En knew he was referring to Xia Ningxi.
Ling Xiao lowered his eyes: "Are you feeling unwell? Shouldn't you go to the hospital to get checked out? Let's sign this contract tomorrow. I happen to be free tomorrow and I'm planning to visit your lab to take a look around, is that alright?"
Don gave a forced smile: "Whatever."
Ling Xiao turned and left.
Today's banquet was held specifically for the purpose of cooperation between the two parties. Otherwise, Tang En would not have bothered to come back. Now, because Xia Ningxi is not here, Ling Xiao has refused to sign the contract, which has made Tang En a little angry.
Wasting his time.
He didn't tolerate the Ling family's behavior and called his assistant to leave.
After leaving the restaurant, Tang En went straight to Xia Ningxi's dormitory. When he opened the door, he saw her sitting in the living room playing with a few kids. She didn't go to the laboratory.
"Why are you back so early today?" Tang En asked.
Xia Ningxi said, "It's none of my business. Going home earlier means I can spend time with the kids."
Tang En: "The eldest son of the Ling family is here today too. I think that guy looks familiar, but I can't remember where I've seen him before. This time he didn't sign a contract with me, but he tried to see you indirectly. I'm worried that he's here for you."
"You can't remember who it is?" Xia Ningxi raised an eyebrow, quite surprised.
Don: "I remember."
Xia Ningxi asked Huo Yuan to take her younger siblings upstairs. After the children had all left, she said, "He is my cheap husband."
"?" Tang En's face twitched, and for a moment he was stunned, his brain working rapidly.
"Is that the cheap husband who helped you get foreign citizenship?" Tang En remembered and was shocked: "He's actually from the Ling family's eldest branch. Are you sure it's the same person?"
Xia Ningxi nodded: "I wasn't sure before, but after meeting the person in question today, I'm certain it's him."
"This is a bit troublesome. Ling Shuang knows about your relationship with Huo Nanxiao, and you also lied to Ling Xiao and used him before. If this gets out, it will be a real problem." Tang En had a headache just thinking about it.
Xia Ningxi: "So when I saw Ling Xiao, I ran away as fast as I could."
"He's coming to visit our lab tomorrow. I didn't think of him for a moment. I should have refused him immediately." Tang En regretted his decision.
Xia Ningxi said, "The Ling family has invested a lot. If he wants to come and visit, let him come. I don't have to go to work tomorrow. Even if he comes, I won't recognize him in my lab coat."
"Alright, we still need to be careful." Don was still a little worried.
Why does he feel like Xia Ningxi is unsafe no matter where she goes?
If Ling Xiao finds out, he doesn't know if Xia Ningxi will still be able to work under him. He doesn't want the person he went through so much trouble to bring back to run away after only a few days.
"You rest tomorrow, I'll handle the rest," Tang En made up his mind.
Just as Tang En had guessed, the next day Ling Xiao came to the laboratory and specifically asked to see Xia Ningxi, but Tang En refused outright.
He said sarcastically, "Mr. Ling Xiao, are you here to discuss cooperation or to have a romantic encounter?"
Ling Xiao said calmly, "To be honest, I am very interested in Xia Ningxi. I heard that she has done a lot for Jiangbei before, and Jiangbei's health has improved a lot thanks to her."
“Mr. Ling, you’re wrong. Lin Jiangbei’s improved condition is the result of the efforts of all the medical staff. The credit doesn’t go to just one person,” Tang En replied.
Ling Xiao: "You don't seem to want me to see Xia Ningxi?"
“She’s on leave recently, and as her boss, I can’t just force her to come to work, can I? Besides, Mr. Ling has already stood me up twice. If you don’t want to cooperate, that’s fine too. I’m not begging you to cooperate. I think there’s no need for us to continue talking.”
Don was decisive and his attitude was firm.
Once he realized that Ling Xiao was after Xia Ningxi, he wasn't happy at all. At this point, the amount of money invested didn't matter to him anymore. He just wanted Ling Xiao to get lost and never appear in front of Xia Ningxi again.
Ling Xiao smiled and said, "Mr. Tang En, there's no need to refuse me so soon. A 2 billion investment isn't easy to come by. I know you're not short of money, but your R&D funds will eventually run out. Our cooperation will only benefit you and not harm you."
“But I don’t think Mr. Ling has any intention of cooperating with me. You seem to have other motives?” Tang En asked.
Ling Xiao smiled: "You're a smart person. There are some things I don't need to explain too clearly. You should already know them."
Tang En's face darkened! Fine! He's here for Xia Ningxi!
No wonder he'd been feeling anxious and his eyelids had been twitching nonstop these past few days; now he finally knew the answer—that bastard had tried to steal her from him.
Tang En suppressed his anger: "Cooperation can continue, but I refuse to allow anyone from the Ling family to enter the laboratory, and I also refuse to let outsiders like you interfere. I will inform you of any research progress as soon as possible."
"Anything is fine. Feel free to do whatever you want. Research funding is not a problem. You can spend as much money as you want. My brother is in your hands too. I trust your abilities." Ling Xiao paused for a moment.
His sharp gaze suddenly fell on Tang En, and he chuckled: "However, I have a request now. I would like to meet your capable assistant. I heard that she is the chief physician of the capital city and is very popular."
