Chapter 597: Chapter 595 Relying on One’s Own Abilities_1

"Don’t worry, Mom, Lu has been very good to me." Xia Ningxing gave her a reassuring smile. "Besides, we now have a child named Lu Yichuan, although he’s only a few months old, but he’s very cute. I’m sure you’d like him if you saw him."

"Of course I would love my grandson. When we meet, I’m certainly going to give him a big red envelope," Mrs. Xia Ning said with a smile that she couldn’t contain. If it weren’t for the fact that the Ning Family was currently holding a medical conference, she would have rushed down the mountain to see her grandson right away.

Speaking of the medical conference, Mrs. Xia Ning remembered they had been upstairs for quite a long time.

"Daughter, we need to go down now," she said.

With those words, she linked arms with Xia Ningxing.

Xia Ningxing nodded and followed her.

As they walked, Mrs. Xia Ning told her, "Daughter, I’m going to give you a rightful identity soon."

She was indeed eager to announce to everyone that Xia Ningxing was her daughter!

But soon she seemed to think of something and sighed, "However, since we are not mother and daughter by birth, I’m planning to take you as an adopted daughter to give you an identity."

"Mom, I’m afraid that won’t be possible," Xia Ningxing said with difficulty, declining the offer.

Mrs. Xia Ning’s heart leapt up to her throat as she asked anxiously, "Why? Do you not want to acknowledge me again?"

"How could that be! Mom, don’t be so nervous," Xia Ningxing subconsciously shook her head, then explained, "The thing is, my mom, Mrs. Xia, loves me very, very much, and she probably couldn’t accept me acknowledging another mother, even if just an adoptive one."

"I see..." Mrs. Xia Ning’s expression was a bit disappointed, but she didn’t force the issue, "It’s okay, if it can’t be done, it can’t be done. Then I’ll take you as my disciple, so that in the future you will be qualified to participate in the selection for the next Ning Family Head soon."

Mrs. Xia Ning was naturally magnanimous and wouldn’t fuss over minor details.

As long as Xia Ningxing acknowledged her as her mother in her heart, that was enough.

"Selection for the Family Head?" At the mention, Xia Ningxing involuntarily raised an eyebrow.

"Yes," Mrs. Xia Ning nodded and smiled at her, "I’m getting old, and it’s time for the Ning Family to have a new leader."

"Nonsense, Mom looks barely any older than me. If we went out, people would surely think we’re sisters!" Xia Ningxing scolded her playfully.

"Look at you, sweet-talking me." Mrs. Xia Ning laughed and curled her lips, then raised her hand to adjust Xia Ningxing’s hair, and continued,

"Daughter, you must claim the position of Family Head, because apart from you, there is no suitable candidate. Since ancient times, daughters of the Ning Family’s direct descendant bloodline have been the head of the Ning Family. I hope you can carry on this legacy."

"But won’t being the Ning Family Head be very busy?" Xia Ningxing couldn’t help expressing her concerns, "I’m planning to go abroad to develop my career, win the Oscar for Best Actress, and then I’ll retire."

"Don’t worry, it won’t be busy, and I’m still here to help you!" Mrs. Xia Ning sent her a reassuring gaze.

"That’s good, Mom. Don’t worry, I will do my best to claim the position of Family Head," Xia Ningxing assured her.

"You’re doing great, my child," Mrs. Xia Ning stroked her head, then added, "Although the selection is still half a year away, you haven’t systematically studied medicine since childhood, so you must read more in the coming period. But don’t put too much pressure on yourself; as a direct descendant bloodline, your talent far surpasses others. With just a little effort, you will far outpace everyone else."

Mrs. Xia Ning, worried about putting too much pressure on her, added many words of encouragement.

Xia Ningxing responded to each point.

As the mother and daughter spoke, they were already on their way downstairs.

Originally, the people exchanging medical knowledge in the main hall stopped in their tracks when they saw the two of them.

To be exact, it was when they saw Xia Ningxing that their breaths caught.

The reason was naturally... she was too beautiful!

At this moment, Xia Ningxing was like a pearl whose dust had been wiped away, revealing a dazzling and brilliant shine.

Dressed in a simple white gown, she was pure yet enchanting; her unadorned face was even more beautiful than those wearing makeup.

Especially those eyes, that semi-smiling gaze, the pupils deep and sparkling like stars in the night sky, bewitching yet soul-shattering.

Her exquisitely delicate collarbones, her impeccably white legs, were both elegant and prestigious.

The men present almost couldn’t peel their eyes away from her.

How could there be such a beautifully delicate woman in this world?

Ning Xiaoyou and Ning Mo were so jealous they were almost driven mad, their fingers tightly clenched together, their teeth nearly cracking their molars.

But what made them even more envious was yet to come.

Only to hear Mrs. Xia Ning standing on the stage, picking up the microphone, and saying to everyone, "Please quiet down now, I have something to announce."

In an instant, silence fell upon the crowd, all eyes turning to Mrs. Xia Ning.

In fact, everyone knew what she was going to say next, so the expressions on their faces weren’t good.

Mrs. Xia Ning ignored their ugly expressions, her face smiling, her eyes joyful as she said, "Ladies and gentlemen, the announcement I am about to make is that I am taking Miss Xia Ningxing here beside me as my closed-door disciple!"

Upon her declaration, the whole room was shocked.

The prestigious Ning Family Head accepting an outsider as her foremost disciple was already surprising, but who would have thought she was accepting a closed-door disciple.

What does ’closed-door disciple’ mean?

It means she will not take on any more disciples from now on!

But what does Xia Ningxing have to deserve this?

Before anyone could ask questions, Mrs. Xia Ning had already spoken first, revealing the reason why she took Xia Ningxing as a disciple, "Miss Xia’s talent is very high, and it would be truly regrettable if she did not become part of the Ning Family. Or is it that everyone fears that when competing for the position of Family Head, they can’t compete with Miss Xia, and therefore are afraid of her joining?"

Mrs. Xia Ning suddenly smiled and countered with a question.

This provocative challenge immediately made everyone snort.

"Who’s afraid of a young lady in her twenties? Let her join!"

"Exactly, who’s afraid of whom!"

Someone couldn’t help but remind, "But she did develop a drug to counter the S virus."

"So what! She just got lucky! If I had the Medicinal Wood, I could also produce a detoxifying drug!"

"Moreover, competing for the position of Family Head isn’t based solely on pharmacology, treating actual diseases is the main point! I’ve heard that this Xia Ningxing isn’t good at diagnosing and treating patients in person, she only knows how to prescribe medicine!"

"So there’s nothing to be afraid of!"

Mrs. Xia Ning got the exact reaction she wanted; she hooked her lip, complimented with a sentence, "As descendants of the Ning Family, you should have this kind of indomitable spirit, daring to challenge!"

"As for the position of Family Head, everyone should seize it based on their own abilities. If one doesn’t have the capability, they won’t last long, right?"

"The Family Head is right!" everyone endorsed.
