Chapter 809 The First Son's Heir
Xia Ningxi even doubted that she was seeing things. She blinked and stared intently at the sender's name for a few moments before finally looking at Ellie: "Look, who is the sender?"
"Huo... Huo Nanxiao? Am I right? This should be Huo Nanxiao, right?" Ellie asked tentatively. It was really a bit difficult for a foreigner like her to recognize the characters.
Xia Ningxi's face darkened.
"Isn't this your friend? Why do you look so pale?" Ellie asked cautiously.
Xia Ningxi forced a smile: "This is not my friend, but my enemy. I killed his wife and her whole family, and he is coming for revenge. Go back and remind everyone not to say a word no matter who asks about me, understand?"
"Killed the whole family?" Ellie's lips twitched, her eyes filled with disbelief as she looked at Xia Ningxi.
Xia Ningxi nodded: "That's right."
Ellie couldn't manage a smile: "He's not going to come and kill your whole family too, is he?"
"Who can say for sure? What if it is?" Xia Ningxi retorted.
Ellie's face turned pale: "No way, you're not lying to me, are you? You're not that kind of person."
"You know what medical disputes are, right?" Xia Ningxi asked back.
Ellie took a deep breath: "I'll call the people in the lab right now and tell them to keep their mouths shut."
She hurriedly took out her phone and made a call.
Xia Ningxi opened the package to check its contents, but there was nothing inside except a letter.
letter?
What era are we living in?!
Xia Ningxi was dumbfounded when she opened the envelope.
He thought Huo Nanxiao was up to something, but the letter simply contained seven words: Remove me from the blacklist.
"Are you out of your mind? You send a letter across borders just to talk about this?"
Xia Ningxi cursed out loud.
She crumpled the letter into a ball and threw it into the trash can, showing no intention of removing Huo Nanxiao from the blacklist.
To my surprise, I received another package at noon, also from Huo Nanxiao. The letter contained only two words: "Hurry up."
"You're insane!" Xia Ningxi wanted to curse at that moment.
Has Huo Nanxiao lost his mind? Does he think he can't live without harassing her?
She continued to ignore it, and then the security guard delivered another package that evening.
She knew it was Huo Nanxiao's without even opening it. Her good mood suddenly plummeted, and she felt terrible. She lay motionless on the sofa.
"Are you sick?" Tang En, who had just woken up, found it very strange to see Xia Ningxi looking so lifeless.
"No," Xia Ningxi replied wearily.
Don: "Who upset you?"
"Didn't you say that outsiders would never be able to find out anything about us here?" Xia Ningxi retorted.
Tang En's face darkened: "Huo Nanxiao found you?"
Xia Ningxi raised her chin: "Look, this is the third package Huo Nanxiao sent. He now knows not only which city I'm in, but also where I live."
"This guy is really persistent." Tang En was also annoyed, his good mood completely gone. "I'll arrange for you to go to another lab. Anyway, we have plenty of labs. Huo Nanxiao's business is all in China, and he can't keep an eye on you 24 hours a day."
"Forget it, we've already found him. No matter how many places we go, he'll find us eventually. Why waste time hiding from him?" Xia Ningxi simply gave up.
Logically speaking, Huo Nanxiao should be quite busy lately, and Xia Wan'an's health has recovered well, so he shouldn't be causing trouble for Xia Ningxi.
Don gave instructions to the security personnel and also gave his men a heads-up.
Xia Ningxi's life was relatively peaceful, but for some reason, news about the Huo family was everywhere lately. Huo Nanxiao had taken on several big projects in a month, traveling between China and abroad. Clearly, the divorce from Xia Ningxi did not have a significant impact on Huo Nanxiao.
She had always known that Huo Nanxiao was a very capable person. Even without Huo Xiuyuan, Huo Nanxiao's abilities alone would have made him a powerful figure in the capital.
Therefore, even though Huo Nanxiao is married and has several children, many people still dream of marrying him.
Xia Ningxi ignored it and spent the next few days locked in the laboratory, conducting pathological research for Lin Jiangbei.
After their careful treatment, Lin Jiangbei's condition improved significantly, which put the Ling family at ease.
The Ling family was overjoyed and, to thank Tang En and the others, specially hosted a banquet at the most luxurious restaurant in the area, preparing to reward them handsomely.
Ling Shuang even sent Xia Ningxi a special invitation, urging her to definitely go.
"I'm sorry, I have a lot of things to take care of recently, so I won't be going this time," Xia Ningxi said.
Ling Shuang: "You absolutely must go this time."
"Why?" Xia Ningxi asked, puzzled.
Ling Shuang said, "The eldest branch of the family will also be here today. They are very interested in your latest research and would like to invest."
“It would be more appropriate to talk to Tang En about this,” Xia Ningxi said.
Ling Shuang smiled slightly: "I naturally want to see your strength by inviting you along. I think Tang En will invite you tonight."
She gave Xia Ningxi the choice and did not force her to agree immediately.
And just as Ling Shuang had said, Tang En indeed came to invite her to a banquet in the evening.
Xia Ningxi felt too embarrassed to refuse again.
The banquet venue was packed with distinguished guests. Apart from the medical staff who accompanied Lin Jiangbei, everyone else was present, which showed that the Ling family was very satisfied with Tang En's efforts during this period.
To express her gratitude, Tian Chunxia prepared different gifts for everyone, all of which were expensive luxury items.
However, no one was interested in these things.
The Ling family wanted to invest and took Tang En to a private room for a long talk.
Xia Ningxi didn't want to get involved in these troublesome things, so she packed a plate of seafood for herself and went to a corner to eat quietly.
Ellie walked over and whispered, "Did you hear? The eldest branch of the Ling family is coming over tonight."
"Yes, I heard about it. It seems they want to collaborate with our lab." Xia Ningxi nodded.
Ellie: "It's strange. The Ling family has never been involved in the medical field before. Why did they suddenly decide to cooperate with us?"
"I don't know, maybe they have too much money and don't know what to do with it." Xia Ningxi didn't think much of it.
Ellie nodded: "That's the only possibility. Why don't you go talk to Don together? After all, most of the research going forward will depend on you."
"Lazy," Xia Ningxi replied simply.
Ellie: "I've heard that the eldest branch of the Ling family is very outstanding. The heir of the eldest branch will also be here today. He's said to be a very important person. If you can build a good relationship with him, you'll have a bright future. I think you should take this opportunity to get on good terms with the eldest branch."
Xia Ningxi smiled and didn't take it to heart. She didn't need to please anyone. People in their line of work always rely on their abilities and don't need to curry favor with anyone.
She could leave everything to Tang En and focus on cooking.
Ellie continued chattering on the side: "You have no idea how capable the eldest branch of the Ling family is. I heard that Ling Shuang is just working under the eldest branch. She is already so outstanding, but she can only work for the eldest branch. You can imagine how powerful she is."
"However, the eldest branch has always been very mysterious. We have never heard of anyone from the eldest branch getting involved in such trivial matters over the years. Recently, we don't know what's going on, but they have been contacting our lab very frequently."
Ellie kept talking.
Xia Ningxi ignored her and focused on eating.
Suddenly hearing a commotion, Xia Ningxi looked toward the door in confusion and saw a group of bodyguards forming a circle, escorting a tall, handsome man as he walked in.
"Who is making such a big fuss?" Xia Ningxi asked curiously, craning her neck.
Ellie: "It must be the eldest branch of the Ling family. With such a large entourage, there can't be anyone else but the eldest branch."
