Chapter 504 Finding Dr. Xia
This group of people didn't come looking for anyone at all; they clearly came to humiliate someone!
That's outrageous!
They don't even treat their family like human beings!
They don't treat her daughter, Xia Wanwan, the future eldest daughter-in-law of the Huo family, like a human being!
"What are you looking at? There is no Xia Ningxi here at all, only Xia Wanwan, the future eldest daughter-in-law of the Huo family!"
"You've already disturbed Mrs. Huo's recovery. If you continue this nonsense, don't blame me for being impolite!"
Zhou Fenglin directly made a harsh statement, fiercely warning everyone present.
Everyone looked at each other, then at Xia Wanwan sitting in the wheelchair, their expressions quite strange.
Knowing that Xia Ningxi wasn't there, they couldn't continue the interview and reluctantly left one by one after being driven away by Zhou Fenglin.
As they left, some people were still muttering complaints under their breath.
"The Xia family has such a big face. Everyone knows the Huo family has no intention of marrying Xia Wanwan."
"She hasn't even gotten a marriage certificate yet, and she's already calling herself Mrs. Huo. Aren't she afraid of being laughed at?"
"Yes, Xia Ningxi is so famous now, and the Huo family speaks highly of her. I reckon that even if it comes to getting into the Huo family, it won't be Xia Wanwan's turn."
“That’s right. Anyone with a brain knows how outstanding Xia Ningxi is, as for this Xia Wanwan…”
As the group walked further and further away, the sounds of their conversation grew increasingly faint.
The Xia family wanted to know what they said next, but the other person had already gone far away and they couldn't hear it at all. However, the tadpoles could hear the gossip they had said before very clearly.
Zhou Fenglin was furious: "What do these lunatics know? They're talking nonsense! Once Wanwan marries into the Huo family, they'll be the first ones we deal with."
"Alright, Mother, stop talking." Xia Wanwan said angrily.
Zhou Fenglin cursed, "Isn't it all because you're useless? If you had married into the Huo family earlier, there wouldn't be so much trouble! Look at how those reporters are talking about our family, they're all stepping on us. If Xia Ningxi really marries into the Huo family, where will we have a place in this huge capital city?"
Xia Wanwan said coldly, "Isn't it because you keep saying those things? There's not even a glimmer of hope yet, that's why people are laughing at us?"
Zhou Fenglin: "I'm useless and I'm making excuses. I must have had the worst luck in eight lifetimes to encounter something like this! I'm so angry! Someone! Where's the butler? Go outside and keep watch. Anyone who comes to ask about Xia Ningxi again, kick them all out!"
The entire Xia family was in chaos, with almost no one having a moment of peace.
The Huo family's old residence, however, was unusually quiet.
The family sat neatly in the spacious living room.
Huo Xiuyuan was holding a freshly printed magazine and newspaper, reading them intently. The huge television was also broadcasting the latest morning news from the capital city, and reports about Xia Ningxi could be faintly heard.
Outside the door, a large crowd had already gathered, consisting of media and reporters who had rushed over upon hearing the news. They all showed great interest in Xia Ningxi and wanted to be the first to interview her.
However, the Huo family's security was tight, and it wasn't a place that just anyone could enter.
"Master, a reporter from Huayu Morning Post has arrived and wants to see the young mistress." The butler walked in from outside.
Huayu Morning Post is one of the three major newspapers in the capital. This time, they sent people here to try to get an interview. Their boss happens to know Huo Xiuyuan, which is why the butler emphasized it.
Huo Xiuyuan's kind face beamed with smugness: "Huayu Morning Post? No way! Do you think they can just interview our Ning Xi like that?"
"So, what does the master intend to do?" the butler asked cautiously.
Huo Xiuyuan said, "If you want to interview Ning Xi, naturally only the most authoritative media in the capital city have the right to do so."
"I understand." The butler nodded and withdrew.
The three little ones were rummaging through the newspapers on the table—more than a dozen in total, and almost every single one featured Xia Ningxi. The little ones were very proud.
"Mommy, look, there's a picture of you! You're so pretty!" Chu Chu said in her childish voice.
Huo Yuan also came over, his face full of admiration: "My mommy is so amazing!"
Xingxing said proudly, "Of course, how could our mommy not be amazing? This is just standard procedure."
The three little ones each held a newspaper, their little faces beaming with joy.
This was the first time Huo Nanxiao had ever seen the three little ones so happy. From their smiling faces, Huo Nanxiao also saw adoration—the adoration of the most devout fans for their idol. They had never looked at him with such adoration before…
Especially that little girl Chu Chu, she still refuses to call him Daddy. She only looks at him properly when Huo Nanxiao takes out stacks of banknotes. She's so realistic that Huo Nanxiao has doubted several times whether this little girl is his biological daughter.
He handed Xia Ningxi a bowl of warming white fungus soup and said, "Drink some soup to soothe your stomach."
"Thank you." Xia Ningxi carefully took the soup and finished it in no time.
She wanted to leave, but seeing Huo Xiuyuan happily reading the newspaper for a long time without saying a word, she secretly kicked Huo Nanxiao.
Huo Nanxiao raised an eyebrow and looked at Xia Ningxi.
"I need to go to the hospital," Xia Ningxi said in a low voice.
Huo Nanxiao understood and said to Huo Xiuyuan, "Dad, after breakfast, I'll take Ningxi and the child out together."
"Go out? Where to?" Huo Xiuyuan looked up at him.
Huo Nanxiao said, "I have some things to take care of at my company, and I'll also take Ning Xi back to the hospital for a check-up."
"There's no need to go to the hospital. I've already spoken to the hospital director. Tang En can take good care of the patients. It's so chaotic outside right now. If you go out, you'll probably be surrounded by reporters before you even leave the house. Ning Xi is a big name now, and many people want to see her. Going to the hospital now would be like walking into a trap." Huo Xiuyuan waved his hand. "Just rest at home for the day and don't go anywhere."
Xia Ningxi said anxiously, "Dad, I still have work to do, I don't want to rest."
“Look how exhausted you are. I heard that the hospital director gave all the other doctors three days off, and you did too,” Huo Xiuyuan said.
Xia Ningxi looked at Huo Nanxiao: "Is that so?"
"Mm," Huo Nanxiao responded.
Xia Ningxi's lips twitched: "How come I didn't know? I wasn't notified."
Huo Nanxiao said, "Now that Tang En has taken over the patient, you should rest well at home."
"No way!" Xia Ningxi refused.
No sooner had Huo Nanxiao finished speaking than his phone rang.
Huo Nanxiao glanced at the caller ID on the screen; it was Ji Feibai calling. He answered the call.
The next second, Ji Feibai exclaimed excitedly, "Damn! You finally answered my call! I sent you dozens of messages and you didn't reply!"
Huo Nanxiao asked impatiently, "What do you want?"
"Pah, pah, pah, I'm not looking for you. Where's Dr. Xia? Is she with you? I have something very important to discuss with her!" Ji Feibai said seriously.
Huo Nanxiao narrowed his eyes dangerously: "What do you want with her? Explain yourself!"
"Nan Xiao, stop pretending. Dr. Xia is a big shot in our capital city now. I have important business with her! She's with you, isn't she? Let her answer the phone!" Ji Feibai was extremely perfunctory with Huo Nan Xiao, but he was surprisingly enthusiastic with Xia Ningxi!
