Beg Me to Remarry

Chapter 699: Chapter 701: The Ward in the Afternoon

Su Cheng’s clear voice rang out, "I just remembered that Yi Lixing seemed to have mentioned Xia Ning’s name, but I’ve never verified anything about Xia Ning. However, Yi Lixing clearly admitted in the video that he had betrayed He Group’s business secrets, so I think it should be of use."

Fu Han always felt it was strange to watch Yi Lixing’s bare upper body alongside Su Cheng; discussing it here made it even more so.

She coughed to clear her throat and turned off the video, seriously saying to Su Cheng, "Su Cheng, thank you very much for this video, I think it will be of great help to me."

Su Cheng smiled, "I hope it can help you, if that’s the case, then that would be great."

Hospital Inpatient Department, Xia Ning’s ward

Her hospital bed was propped up, with two pillows behind her and a tablet on a stand on the bed table playing a movie. It was a romantic art film with no deep meaning, but Xia Ning liked watching it!

However, at this moment, the picture on the tablet froze, and it stopped playing.

Xia Ning’s large eyes stared at Xia Guoxiong standing in front of her bed, silent without a word!

Xia Guoxiong’s face was gloomy and ugly. He paced back and forth restlessly, saying impatiently, "He Xing is getting serious this time. That mercenary promised not to give up Yi Lixing, but the Detention Center still won’t release him. Think of a way to get He Xing to let Yi Lixing go, otherwise Xia Cheng won’t be released, and I won’t let you off."

"It’s not like I told Xia Cheng to rape Qin Nuan," Xia Ning muttered unhappily in a low voice, "You should be looking for Qin Nuan, why come to me? Brother He Xing won’t listen to me anyway."

"What did you say?" Xia Guoxiong glared furiously, his eyes nearly popping out, "If that bitch Qin Nuan were that easy to deal with, would I still come to look for you?"

Xia Ning’s lips were tightly pursed, saying nothing, but the look on her face made her refusal very clear.

Xia Guoxiong stomped on the floor fiercely, declaring without doubt, "I don’t care; if you don’t handle this matter, I’ll go tell He Xing that you’re faking amnesia."

These words successfully hit Xia Ning’s sore spot. Her expression changed drastically, but still unwillingly she said, "I understand, but I can only try my best, it’s not guaranteed to succeed!"

"Don’t give me that talk!" Xia Guoxiong waved his heavy hand a few times, saying impatiently, "I don’t care about your excuses. I’ve told you my demands, you’d better consider them carefully. I’m only giving you two days!"

After saying this, Xia Guoxiong left without another word, his retreating figure bristling with rage.

Xia Ning watched her father’s retreating figure, falling into deep thought. Her beautiful face flickered with a dark light, more befitting a vicious woman than a girl in her twenties at the prime of her life.

After thinking for a few minutes, she pulled a phone out from under her pillow and dialed He Xing’s number. It rang for a long time before a very cold "Hello?" came through.

"Brother He Xing." Xia Ning’s cutesy voice practiced since childhood suddenly appeared, "Brother He Xing, I haven’t seen you all day today, will you come keep me company for dinner tonight?"

"No." He Xing’s voice was as cold as ever, completely unfluctuating, "I have to work overtime tonight. You should go have dinner by yourself."

A cold gleam flashed in Xia Ning’s eyes, but the words she spoke were just as cutesy as before, "Don’t be like that, Brother He Xing, I really miss you. How about I bring dinner to you tonight, the doctor said I can be discharged tomorrow anyway."

Actually, the hospital had rules that none of the patients were allowed to go out at night, but Xia Ning had always been spoiled and never took the hospital’s rules to heart – such behaviour was typical for her.

"Stop fooling around!" He Xing’s voice suddenly rose sharply, expressing dissatisfaction, "Don’t wander around with your injuries; I’ll bring dinner to you tonight."

Xia Ning hung up the phone jubilantly, her face beaming, a striking contrast to the gloom just moments before.

She was happy for two minutes, then suddenly remembered something and made another phone call.

This time the call was answered quickly, and a voice as sweet as honey came through, "Xia Ning, what’s made you free to call me? Is Yi Lixing about to be released?"

"Qin Nuan, dealing with this matter is my task for today. If you want to save Yi Lixing, you’d better bring me something quickly, or it might be too late," Xia Ning shifted from the sweet and docile tone she used with He Xing to a chilling coldness, like a freezing wind sweeping over an icy lake.

"Alright, got it." Qin Nuan’s languid voice sounded, thick with allure despite being through a phone, "I’ll bring it to you shortly, and thanks for getting my sister out, but since you falsely accused her, she had to stay there for so long, what do you plan to do about that?"

Xia Ning’s teeth gritted audibly; if Qin Nuan were in front of her right now, she would likely have killed her with a glare - but alas.

After calming down, she said, "What’s the rush now? We can deal with that after Yi Lixing is out. Also, how’s tomorrow’s plan coming along?"

"I’m much more reliable than anyone in your family, just wait for the show tomorrow," Qin Nuan chuckled lightly, the softness and laziness swept away, replaced by coldness and gloom.

Less than half an hour after hanging up, Qin Nuan arrived, bringing two white pills.

The two tiny pills lay in a transparent bag, looking like the little candies that come with toys for children, quite adorable.

Qin Nuan placed the small bag solemnly into Xia Ning’s hand, "These pills are very potent; taking too many can harm the body. One is enough at a time. I brought an extra one just in case."

"Got it, when did you become so naggy?" Xia Ning frowned deeply, displaying her distaste.

Qin Nuan rolled her eyes unapologetically, knowing well that no one heeded her words; she couldn’t be bothered to speak more. After briefly discussing the plans for tomorrow with Xia Ning, she left.

No sooner had Qin Nuan stepped out did Ji Liangchuan come in. noveldrama

At that moment, Xia Ning was holding the transparent little bag, laughing heartily. Ji Liangchuan saw and mocked her immediately, "Xia Ning, what is that you’re holding that’s got you laughing so joyfully?"

Startled, Xia Ning instinctively hid the little bag behind her back. Upon realizing it was Ji Liangchuan who had spoken, she retorted unhappily, "Why are you here bothering me instead of stalking Fu Han?"
