Chapter 578: Chapter 576 How Could This Be_1

She felt a small sense of pride in this.

However, she wouldn’t be so arrogant as to disregard others.

Out of politeness, and also due to her admiration and respect for the Traditional Medicine Family, Xia Ningxing, although disliking the other party’s arrogant demeanor, still initiated a greeting, "Hello."

Yet the other party acted as if they hadn’t heard her, chatting amongst themselves in small groups.

Xia Ningxing: "..."

Such rudeness is just pathetic! There’s no semblance of the grace expected from a distinguished family!

At that moment, an old doctor of traditional medicine patted her shoulder and said softly, "Miss Xia, don’t mind them, after all, they have the skill, and some pride is inevitable."

Xia Ningxing shrugged noncommittally.

Uncle Lu’s medical skills are still at the top of the industry, yet whether he is treating patients or interacting with others, he is always courteous and gracious, without a trace of arrogance or disdain.

It’s not that only those with skill can be proud.

It’s that only those with flawed character act so arrogantly, believing they’re the best in the world.

In an instant, Ning Family’s standing plummeted in Xia Ningxing’s esteem.

Though it’s not fair to generalize, their likeability had certainly dropped.

She shook her head surreptitiously, then lost interest in dealing with the Ning Family and prepared to continue revising her prescription.

Just as she was about to leave, the old doctor called out to her again, "Miss Xia, the Traditional Medicine Family has already come up with a prescription, and now they are conducting experiments on mice. Don’t you want to take a look? What if they succeed?"

As he spoke, his eyes were filled with hope and anxiety.

The disaster had persisted for half a month now, yet they were still at a loss, and if this continued, it would lead to ruin sooner or later!

Now that the Ning Family had stepped in, given their level, they might very well develop an actual cure.

Xia Ningxing raised her eyebrows, paused, and nodded, "Let’s take a look, then."

It might be good to observe, who knows, it could inspire something.

Or perhaps they might actually succeed.

The two of them failed to notice that the faces of the people from the Traditional Medicine Family had darkened.

One of the young girls in a buttoned, retro white lab coat stepped forward, her displeasure evident as she glared at the old doctor who had just spoken, "You old man, what do you mean by ’what if’? Let me tell you, we will definitely succeed!"

Her tone was aggressive, her arrogance akin to that of a peacock, looking down on people through her nostrils, so assured and proud was she that even from a kilometer away her certainty and arrogance could be felt.

Being reprimanded by a junior in front of everyone, the old doctor’s face flushed and paled by turns, his whiskers bristling with anger. On any other day, if someone dared to confront him like this, he would have retorted without hesitation, but now...

They were people from the Ning Family.

He didn’t dare.

If he got blacklisted, where would he plaintively turn to?

The old doctor bowed his head, forcibly suppressing the anger in his heart.

Xia Ningxing couldn’t help frowning, and without fear, she asked coldly, "May I see the prescription that you’re so certain about?"

Since they were so confident in their success, she was indeed curious to learn more.

"Of course, this will also let you see what real traditional medicine is like!" Ning Xiaoyou spoke again arrogantly.

Such an attitude was infuriating enough for someone to want to land a punch.

Xia Ningxing let out a sigh and took the prescription that was handed to her.

Xia Ningxing glanced at the names of the herbs and their quantities on the prescription.

It had to be said that the formula was quite well put together; at least it seemed like it could indeed combat S.

But...

It’s useless!

She had tested a similar prescription, and it simply treated the symptoms without addressing the root cause.

To let her witness what true traditional medicine supposedly was, with a recipe she had already experimented with, Xia Ningxing felt she was going to die laughing.

After giving an ironic smile, her interest in the experiment vanished in an instant; it was a sheer waste of her time.

So, after setting aside the prescription, Xia Ningxing prepared to head to her own experimental bench.

"Miss Xia, why are you leaving?" the old traditional doctor couldn’t help but ask.

Before Xia Ningxing could speak, Ning Xiaoyou couldn’t help but curl her lips arrogantly and ask, "Is it because our prescription is so good that you’re overwhelmed with shame?"

"Your imagination is truly rich!" Xia Ningxing couldn’t help but throw back a sarcastic remark and then said, "I’m leaving because I don’t want to watch a prescription that’s bound to fail! It’s a waste of time!"

You should know that time is of the essence right now, every minute, every second counts as a human life!

Human life, ah!

Hearing these words, the few old traditional doctors looked at each other, not sure what to say.

How did they fail to see that this was a doomed prescription?

And yet, they thought it was a well-composed prescription that might truly succeed in curing S!

In particular, the people from the Traditional Medicine Family were outraged.

"You impudent girl, how dare you speak such wild arrogance!" several of them angrily rebuked.

Ning Xiaoyun, as if she had eaten firecrackers, pointed at her nose and scolded, "You actor, how is my prescription a failure!"

This was a formula she had painstakingly researched, working through the night for several days, with every dosage and other aspect carefully handled.

Just as Xia Ningxing was about to mention that she had tested similar prescriptions, everyone heard the lab mice squeal in agony and then die in the experimental cage, still due to S.

This meant that Ning Xiaoyou’s prescription was utterly useless!

"Hiss, it really is a failed prescription!" Seeing this, the old doctors couldn’t help but gasp in astonishment, not believing that Xia Ningxing had been right.

At the same time, everyone’s view of the Traditional Medicine Family shifted.

If they hadn’t bragged so confidently in the beginning, then even if it were a failure, nobody would have laughed, but after they had sworn it would be successful, they were almost left with swollen faces.

The people from the Traditional Medicine Family were red-faced and thick-necked with shame and could only glare at Ning Xiaoyun to release their frustration.

Wasn’t she the one who claimed her medical skills were superb?

Ning Xiaoyun was dumbfounded, "How did this happen!"

She clenched her fists and slammed them on the table, her eyes full of anger and unwillingness.

She had originally planned to make a name for herself with this prescription and then gain her aunt’s favor, so that later, the position of the Family Head of the Ning Family would practically be hers.

Her so-called good sister would no longer be able to compete with her.

But why was it now a failure!

The most crucial thing was that she didn’t even know what the mistake was that had caused the failure!

Not to say her, none of the people present knew.

Oh no, except for Xia Ningxing.

The people from the Traditional Medicine Family wanted to know, but couldn’t swallow their pride to ask, so they had to blindly ponder it themselves.

The old doctors didn’t have such qualms and enclosed Xia Ningxing, humbly seeking advice, "Miss Xia, how did you know at a glance that this prescription was a failure?"
