Chapter 711 Everyone, get out of here!
Zhou Fenglin had never seen such a sharp-tongued woman before. She had been in the capital for so many years, and everyone who saw her had to give her some face out of respect for Huo Nanxiao.
Even Huo Xiuyuan didn't dare to slap her in the face when he saw her. This Ling Shuang is something else. What makes her so arrogant?
Zhou Fenglin covered her face and cursed, "Is this how the Ling family bullies people? Are you even human? I'm Huo Nanxiao's future mother-in-law, what right do you have to hit me?"
Ling Shuang's smile widened: "Future mother-in-law? How shameless can someone be to say something like that? I've heard about what your family has done. I heard that Huo Xiuyuan doesn't take you seriously at all, and even said in the capital that Xia Wanwan can forget about ever entering the Huo family."
She took a step closer to Zhou Fenglin and tapped his shoulder with her beautiful hand: "If I were you, I would stay at home and never come out in this lifetime. You are shameless enough to have the nerve to come out and cause trouble after your family has done such a shameful thing."
"What do you know? You don't know anything!" Zhou Fenglin angrily retorted.
Ling Shuang snorted coldly: "I already know enough. What else do I need to know? Do you want me to find out how despicable your whole family is? Or do you want me to interview your daughter who willingly became a mistress?"
The surrounding chatter grew louder, and everyone looked at Zhou Fenglin with disdain.
Ling Shuang asked Xia Wenhe, "President Xia, aren't you going to take this disgraceful thing with you? Do you want me to call the bodyguards over and personally escort you out?"
Xia Wenhe's face was extremely ugly. He hadn't forgotten why he came to find Xia Ningxi today. He didn't get the answer he wanted, and he was unwilling to leave just like that. But if he stayed here, he would only be looked at like a monkey.
He is, after all, a celebrity and very concerned about his image. He can't just keep acting like a shrew and throwing a tantrum here, can he?
Seeing Ling Shuang's indifferent face, Xia Wenhe, who bullied the weak and feared the strong, dared not go against this young lady. He said, "Miss Ling, if you want to meddle in other people's business, that's none of my concern, but I won't leave. The Xia family went bankrupt because of Xia Ningxi, and she has to give a reasonable explanation for this. If she is unwilling to come out and give me an explanation, then I will stay here at the hospital!"
Ling Shuang: "Don't push your luck."
Xia Wenhe: "This is our family matter. Miss Ling should not meddle in other people's business."
"Heh." Ling Shuang was so angry at these words that she laughed, and immediately called her bodyguard over.
At her command, a group of people rushed out and surrounded Xia Wenhe and Zhou Fenglin.
The two men turned pale; they were undoubtedly stunned by the scene.
"stop!"
Just then, a clear, crisp sound rang out.
Ling Shuang looked in surprise and suspicion toward the source of the sound, and saw Xia Luoluo supporting a weak woman at the end of the corridor, walking toward them step by step with difficulty.
She had met Xia Wanwan before, so she naturally knew that the person being helped was the recently popular mistress.
"Miss Wanwan, are you coming to join the fun too? Don't blame me for not reminding you, Xia Ningxi is my brother's attending physician. If you dare to harm her in the slightest, you will be going against the Ling family. Have you thought this through?" Ling Shuang's voice was extremely domineering.
Inside the consultation room, everyone looked at Ling Shuang with shining eyes.
Tang En nudged Xia Ningxi on the shoulder and said, "This young lady of the Ling family really lives up to her reputation. You have quite the influence."
"She wasn't doing this for me; it's just that Lin Jiangbei's situation isn't good right now, and she doesn't want anyone to affect us." Xia Ningxi clearly understood why Ling Shuang was protecting her at this moment.
She walked out of the consultation room and said to Ling Shuang, "I'm sorry, Miss Ling, I'm sorry you had to see this. This is my private matter and shouldn't involve you. I'll handle it myself."
Ling Shuang looked at her with a complicated expression: "Can you handle this yourself?"
“Of course,” Xia Ningxi replied.
Her beautiful eyes were fixed on the newcomer. She said, "Sister Wanwan, since you're here, take your parents back with you. Don't let them embarrass themselves any longer. There are people everywhere. If they are discovered and exposed online, your family's reputation will be ruined."
Xia Wanwan shifted her gaze from her parents and said to Xia Ningxi, "I'm sorry for causing you trouble, but it's understandable that they did this. You must know that Uncle Huo took action against the Xia family. We haven't been having a good time lately."
“If you’re having a hard time, you shouldn’t bother me,” Xia Ningxi replied.
Xia Wanwan walked up to Xia Ningxi and carefully took her hand: "Ningxi, it's all my fault, but your divorce from Nan Xiao was something you both agreed on. You shouldn't take your anger out on me, let alone your parents and the Xia Group. Could you please plead with Uncle Huo for me?"
Xia Ningxi's stunningly beautiful face instantly turned cold: "You came to see me just to talk about this?"
"Yes." Xia Wanwan didn't hide anything.
Xia Ningxi said, "You're not stupid, you should know why Huo Xiuyuan would do this."
“I know, but I can’t stop him. It would be too easy for him to destroy the entire Xia family. I don’t want to see my parents go bankrupt and face huge debts at their age. I know you can solve this problem.” Xia Wanwan’s eyes reddened with sadness.
She said, "I know you must have suffered a lot of grievances in your divorce from Nan Xiao, but since you are willing to take this step, it proves that you really want a divorce. If you are sincere, why make others suffer? We are all family. If the Xia family falls, our family will really have nowhere to go. Ning Xi, Uncle Huo listens to you the most."
"Only if you step in and persuade him will Uncle Huo let us go and the entire Xia family go. I beg you, as long as you are willing to help the Xia family get out of this predicament, I will do anything you ask me to do in the future, and I will never refuse."
Xia Wanwan's tone was sincere; she was practically begging Xia Ningxi on her knees.
Xia Ningxi felt that she was being morally blackmailed.
Xia Ningxi disliked this feeling. She said, "I have nothing to do with you anymore, and the Xia family has nothing to do with me either. Why should I listen to you?"
"Is the destruction of the entire family and the Xia family being branded with a bad reputation what you want?" Xia Wanwan asked.
Xia Ningxi sneered: "What does the Xia family's situation have to do with me?"
Xia Wanwan felt ice-cold all over.
Although Xia Luoluo liked to watch the show from the sidelines, the bankruptcy of the Xia family had seriously affected her. She finally couldn't help but speak up: "Xia Ningxi, don't push your luck. If you hadn't almost killed my sister, she would have married Young Master Huo long ago. How could you be so arrogant here?"
Xia Ningxi snorted coldly: "I have already paid back what I owed back then. You don't need to use that to blackmail me anymore. Besides, it was indeed my decision to divorce, and I gave Huo Nanxiao to Xia Wanwan. It was her own fault for not being able to hold on to him and for not being able to win over Old Master Huo. What does that have to do with me?"
"If it weren't for you interfering..." Xia Luoluo began.
Xia Ningxi: "Shut up, it's not your place to speak here."
Xia Luoluo was so angry that her face turned black. With red eyes, she said to Xia Wanwan, "Sister, I told you that all of this was done on Xia Ningxi's behalf. It's no use begging her."
Xia Wanwan felt sad, but forced a smile: "Ning Xi, name your terms. What do you want me to do to help the Xia family overcome this crisis?"
“I have no intention of getting entangled with you. As for the conditions you mentioned, I am just an insignificant doctor now and will soon be going abroad. Any benefits from the capital city have nothing to do with me. What you can give me is definitely not what I want. Instead of coming here and begging me, you should think about how to win Huo Xiuyuan’s favor and get him to accept you as his daughter-in-law,” Xia Ningxi replied.
Xia Wanwan lowered her eyes: "Actually, you know everything. You have already given birth to Nan Xiao's children and raised three lovely children. In Uncle Huo's heart, you are his most perfect daughter-in-law. No matter what I do, I can't compare to even one-thousandth of you. No matter how hard I try, I can never win his favor."
Xia Ningxi: "You don't need to tell me this. I don't have time to listen to your nonsense."
"Ning Xi, wait a minute." Xia Wanwan grabbed her excitedly, her eyes reddening. "You already have a great job with a bright future. The Huo family has also given you a mansion and a lot of money. You can live a life of comfort for the rest of your days. But it's different for me. If the Xia family falls, I will be homeless for the rest of my life. My mother and sister have never suffered in all these years. How will they live in the future?"
"You're all grown up, do you still need to ask how you're going to live?" Xia Ningxi sneered. "It seems you think Huo Nanxiao isn't giving you enough. Then go find Huo Nanxiao directly. He can't possibly watch your whole family wander the streets."
Xia Ningxi ruthlessly shook off Xia Wanwan's hand.
The weakened Xia Wanwan lost her balance and fell to the ground with a thud.
Exclamations came from all around.
"Sister! Sister, are you alright!" Xia Luoluo excitedly ran to help Xia Wanwan up, then turned around and angrily shouted at Xia Ningxi, "You've gone too far! You know my sister isn't well, how could you push her away? Are you trying to kill her?"
"Luo Luo, I'm fine," Xia Wanwan replied, forcing herself to speak.
Xia Luoluo said, "Your hand is swollen, how can you say it's nothing? She went too far!"
Xia Ningxi coldly watched the two sisters talking nonsense on the ground, her eyes chillingly cold.
At this moment, Xia Ningxi didn't want to say another word to them. She knew that once this group of people came to her, they would cause endless trouble and all sorts of problems, so she simply handed this difficult problem over to Ling Shuang.
“I’m sorry, Ms. Ling, I need to discuss Lin Jiangbei’s treatment plan with the expert team. I don’t want to be disturbed. Please ask them to leave the hospital,” Xia Ningxi said to Ling Shuang.
Ling Shuang knew exactly what was going on. She walked up to the family in her high heels and asked, "Are you going to walk by yourselves, or should I have someone carry you out?"
Xia Luoluo's face turned pale.
Xia Wanwan knew that she was not someone to be trifled with, so she forced a smile and said, "I'm sorry, we'll go by ourselves, so we won't trouble Miss Ling."
"Gentlemen, get out of here." Ling Shuang didn't even bother to look at them.
