Chapter 585: Chapter 583: Invitation from the Ning Family 1_1

Seeing them, Xia Ningxing’s face instantly broke into a smile.

After handing Chuanchuan to Lu Tingli, she quickly walked over to them, "Dad, Mom, brother, sister-in-law, and Tuanzi, how do you all have time to come over?"

She greeted each of them in turn.

"How could we not come to congratulate our own little sister on winning such a big award?" her brother and sisters-in-law said in unison.

"What award?" Xia Ningxing was bewildered, instinctively asking back.

"Of course, it’s the UA medical award!" The pride in her big brother’s voice was palpable, as if he were the award winner himself.

"How come I haven’t heard of it?" Xia Ningxing was slightly startled, her eyes confused.

Lu Tingli, standing beside her, also shook his head, indicating that he hadn’t heard of it either.

At that moment, her brother smiled and said, "It’s not strange that you guys don’t know. A friend from inside told me about it. It’s probably going to be announced in the next couple of days."

"So that’s how it is." Xia Ningxing understood, and the smile on her face grew wider, both shocked and delighted, "I can’t believe it, someone like me, a dabbler, actually winning an award. I feel somewhat undeserving..."

Xia Ningxing was a bit incoherent.

The UA medical award is a top medical prize in the world, almost as prestigious as the Nobel Prize, something that every medical student aspires to!

Though conducting research on drugs is not for fame or awards, one cannot deny that winning an award is still very joyous!

But the reason she was able to develop the antidote, Xia Ningxing felt that part of it had to do with luck.

If she hadn’t discovered the Medicinal Wood, if the Medicinal Wood hadn’t suddenly flowered, she would have been like a skilled cook without rice.

Just like reading her mind, Lu Tingli guessed her thoughts in an instant and said, "There’s nothing to feel undeserving about. Your ability to win the award is somewhat related to your luck, but what’s most important is that you have the capability. Otherwise, even with the Medicinal Wood Flower, wouldn’t you also have been unable to develop the antidote? Just like those people from the Traditional Medicine Family, they stole the Medicinal Wood Flower from you, but in the end, they couldn’t develop any medicine, could they?"

"So, don’t be modest. This is an award you have won with your own strength!"

Lu Tingli gripped her hand with certainty as he spoke.

Chuanchuan in his arms also made baby noises, as if telling her not to be modest as well.

Xia Ningxing looked at the father and son, feeling warm inside, and nodded, "Yeah!"

"As the saying goes, luck is also a part of strength. Bao’er, your mother thinks that you fully deserve this award. Without you, countless patients with food poisoning would still be at a loss," Mrs. Xia said as she walked towards her, and finally gave her a tight hug, "Bao’er, your mother is proud of you!"

"Mom!" Xia Ningxing hugged her tightly in return.

Seeing the mother and daughter embrace, everyone present couldn’t help but smile.

"Sis! You really did an amazing job this time!"

Tuanzi stepped forward and sincerely congratulated her.

This time, she didn’t have to live with her wings broken by that jerk, trapped and helpless in the palace.

This time, she could soar freely like an eagle in the sky and thrive in her career, shining brightly.

He was genuinely happy and proud of her!

His sister deserved to live a shining life!

"What do you mean ’this time’?" When Xia Ningxing caught those words, she looked at him somewhat puzzled.

It made it seem as if she had lived many times before.

Okay, she had indeed lived twice, but back then, Tuanzi didn’t know her, and besides, in the other timeline, she was quite successful, having won several best actress awards and living a great life too.

"Did I ever say that?" Tuanzi blinked innocently, playing dumb. "If I really did, it must have been a slip of the tongue, or maybe you’re hearing things, sis."

"Alright then," Xia Ningxing didn’t fuss over the little rascal too much.

The senior Xia made a sound: "Come on, everyone stop chatting, the meal is ready!"

"Let’s go have dinner," Mrs. Xia said, linking arms with Xia Ningxing.

Sure enough, the very next day Xia Ningxing received an invitation from the UA Medical Awards, asking her to come and accept an award.

It was set for five days later.

"Everyone will go together when the time comes, unless there is some life-or-death matter, no excuses for being late," the senior Xia commanded, waving his hand authoritatively at the people around the dinner table.

His granddaughter-in-law was about to receive such an honorable award—such a moment of glory for the family had to be supported by all of them together!

"Grandpa, don’t worry, we’ll definitely be there," Tao Tao said with a smile, then turned to Xia Ningxing. "Congratulations, Xiaxia!"

"Thank you," Xia Ningxing smiled back at her.

The others also assured that they would be there.

Lu Fan added, "Then I’ll book the plane tickets now."

"Book what plane tickets," the senior Xia declared boldly. "I’ll go buy a helicopter right away. We’ll fly there—it’ll be so impressive!"

With the development of the times, things have changed. Now, airplanes are readily available for private purchase, and many wealthy families already own helicopters.

But the senior Xia had never been one for extravagance, so he never bothered with such ostentatious displays, until now—he wanted to make a grand show of support for Xia Ningxing!

Everyone: "..."

Showoff!

"Yah yah yah!" Chuanchuan danced with joy as if he understood what was being said.

The senior Xia was enchanted by his cuteness and scooped him up into his arms. "When our Chuanchuan grows up, grandpa will teach you to fly, and then buy another plane just for you, how about that?"

Hearing this, Chuanchuan’s smile grew even wider, and he puckered up to plant a kiss on the senior Xia’s face.

It had to be said, this child was almost too clever for his own good!

And he was so young at that!

Lu Fan watched Chuanchuan charm his grandfather into sheer happiness and easily secure a promise of a plane, then couldn’t help but look at his own daughter, who only knew to suck on her fingers.

It’s true what they say: ignorance is bliss!

Sigh!

"Stop looking, our little girl is not nearly as quick on the uptake as Chuanchuan," Tao Tao saw what he was thinking and couldn’t resist saying.

However, there wasn’t a trace of jealousy in her eyes because she wished for Xia Ningxing’s happiness more than anyone, and she wished the same for Chuanchuan.

"Hmph, just because she isn’t now doesn’t mean she won’t be in the future," Lu Fan retorted sourly, but he was only envious that his daughter wasn’t as quick-witted as someone else’s child, not envious of the airplane.

After all, he could buy a plane anytime he wanted.

So, he secretly vowed to himself that he would make sure his daughter would excel in her studies, definitely surpassing Chuanchuan in academic achievements.

Hearing these words, Lu Tingli also snorted disdainfully, "Keep dreaming! My son will always be clever! Your daughter won’t stand a chance!"
