Chapter 822 Moving into Ling Xiao's House
The conditions Ling Shuang offered Xia Ningxi were very tempting. To be honest, Xia Ningxi was indeed tempted, but she did not give Ling Shuang an answer immediately.
After seeing Ling Shuang off, Xia Ningxi went to look at Lin Jiangbei.
The surgery removed a quarter of his head, making the originally very handsome Lin Jiangbei look somewhat strange.
When Lin Jiangbei saw Xia Ningxi, he looked embarrassed and deliberately avoided her gaze.
"What are you afraid of? Do you think I'm going to eat you?" Xia Ningxi asked.
Lin Jiangbei: "I'm afraid you'll say I'm ugly."
"You're lucky to have survived, how can you still be thinking about these things?" Xia Ningxi asked in surprise.
Lin Jiangbei said, "You've seen what I used to be like."
“You weren’t much better looking before, but even though a quarter of your head is gone, the wound can still heal slowly and the flesh can grow back. You look much better now than before, so be happy about it,” Xia Ningxi said.
After listening to her say this, Lin Jiangbei thought about it carefully and realized that Xia Ningxi was right.
What's the point of beauty or ugliness? Good health is the most important thing.
"Thank you, sister." Lin Jiangbei expressed his heartfelt gratitude.
Xia Ningxi was slightly taken aback, and a hint of complexity appeared in her eyes as she looked at Lin Jiangbei, but she was quite happy.
"Get some rest. You're recovering quite well. With continued treatment, you should be fully recovered," Xia Ningxi encouraged him.
Lin Jiangbei nodded: "Okay."
Xia Ningxi left his hospital room and went to the laboratory.
Tang En had been working on data in the lab and was somewhat surprised to see Xia Ningxi return: "What have you been doing for so long?"
"I met with Ling Xiao and we reached an agreement," Xia Ningxi answered truthfully.
Don paused with his right hand, put down the vessel he was holding, and said, "He agreed to divorce you? He didn't hold you accountable for anything? He didn't blame you for deceiving him?"
“He had a lot of opinions, but he didn’t cause me any trouble. However, he didn’t want a divorce and wanted to see the children,” Xia Ningxi replied.
Don: "Has this guy lost his mind? Why doesn't he get a divorce? This situation is not good for him at all. If he had any sense, he should divorce you immediately. What if you disappear again? He'll never be able to get married again!"
“He said he didn’t want a business marriage, because if he divorced me, his family would definitely arrange a business marriage for him, and he didn’t want to, so he wanted to drag it out.” Xia Ningxi sighed.
Tang En frowned: "Why do I feel so strange? He is the eldest son of the Ling family, and he is an adult. He can decide for himself what kind of person he wants to marry. I feel like he is full of lies."
“I feel the same way.” Xia Ningxi nodded.
Don: "You absolutely cannot trust him. You must get to know your relationship as soon as possible."
“He’s unwilling.” Xia Ningxi sighed.
Don: "Isn't he afraid you'll run away?"
"So he wants me to go back to Lingcheng and live under his nose, and also wants me to persuade you all to go back to Lingcheng to develop your careers."
"By the way, the Ling family also invested heavily in building a laboratory exactly like ours, even bigger than ours. They also promised that if we're willing to go back, all research and development funding in Ling City will be covered by the Ling family."
Xia Ningxi's words touched Tang En.
Don's eyes lit up, and he asked very seriously, "Are you sure? All of them?"
“That’s what Ling Shuang told me,” Xia Ningxi replied.
"To be honest, I'm a little tempted," Don said, somewhat reluctantly.
Xia Ningxi: "Don't tell me you want to go to Lingcheng."
“The research funding comes from the Ling family; who can refuse something for free?” Don retorted.
Xia Ningxi said, "Things aren't that simple. I don't believe the Ling family would willingly be taken advantage of."
“It’s different. Someone in their family is sick and needs us to stay by their side 24/7. Besides, our research and development funds are nothing to them. We think a lot of money might just be the price of one of their jewelry sets,” Tang En replied.
Researchers are among the least paid.
Since the Ling family has shown such sincerity and promised to protect each of them and not cause trouble for Xia Ningxi, this is an excellent choice.
“I think we can consider it.” Tang En said very seriously, but after saying that, his gaze fell on Xia Ningxi again. “Of course, your opinion is the most important. If you don’t want to go to Lingcheng, we will stay here.”
"Let me think about it." Xia Ningxi smiled slightly, not giving Tang En an answer immediately.
She also told other experts about this.
Everyone was very interested in the conditions proposed by the Ling family, and within a day, more than half of the expert team agreed to go to Lingcheng.
Xia Ningxi remained silent until the next day when she discovered that everyone except her and Tang En had agreed to go to Lingcheng, and some had even made arrangements with their families.
At that moment, Xia Ningxi knew that they would go to Lingcheng.
She also knew that if she suggested staying, Don would definitely choose to stay without hesitation, but if she did that, the others would also be forced to stay.
Xia Ningxi didn't want to block everyone's way, so she finally agreed.
In the following days, everyone started packing their things.
The Ling family arranged a special plane to escort the research and development equipment back to China, and Lin Jiangbei also boarded a plane bound for Lingcheng.
That evening, the expert team arrived in Lingcheng together with Lin Jiangbei.
Xia Ningxi and her three children quietly moved into the river-view penthouse that Ling Xiao had arranged for her.
Ling Xiao: "This is a house under my name that has been vacant. There is a kindergarten downstairs, which is run by the Ling family. I have already arranged the children's enrollment procedures. The car is in the underground garage. Here is the car key. You can drive it when you go to work."
Ling Xiao placed a car key on the table and gave Xia Ningxi a map so she could get to know Lingcheng, this new metropolis.
"Is it inappropriate for me to live in your house?" Xia Ningxi asked.
Ling Xiao: "If you can cure my brother, giving you this house is no problem."
“I can stay in the staff dormitory,” Xia Ningxi said.
Ling Xiao: "There's no kindergarten there, this place is the most suitable for you."
“I take the subway to work, so I don’t need a car key,” Xia Ningxi added.
Ling Xiao: "I have seventy or eighty cars in Lingcheng. It won't be a problem for you to drive one. Jiangbei has been sick for a long time and is in a bad mood. If you're willing, you can drive him around."
"..." Xia Ningxi shut up, suddenly not knowing what to say.
These rich people are really something...
That's outrageously extravagant!
"Okay, I'll accept it. Thank you." Xia Ningxi was very grateful.
Ling Xiao: "Do you have a pilot's license?"
"No." Xia Ningxi shook her head.
Ling Xiao frowned: "There's an airstrip on the roof with a private plane parked there. If you don't want to drive to work, just call this number and someone will take you to the lab in a helicopter."
He left a business card and then departed.
Xia Ningxi stood there dumbfounded, holding the business card for several seconds.
Only after the door closed and Ling Xiao had completely left did the three equally dazed children gather around.
Chu Chu: "A big house."
Star: "A big sports car."
Huo Yuan: "A large airplane."
The three little ones all looked at Xia Ningxi and asked in unison, "Mommy, what's up with this uncle? Did you get us a new daddy?"
