Ch. 251..260
Chapter 251 The Last Glimmer of Hope is Extinguished Ye Chuyi was reluctant to perform surgery on Hen Peizhu, but she still needed to explain the situation to Xu Bingwen.
She ignored the hysterical Hen Peizhu and turned to Qi Yunfan, “Show me the images you took of her.”
Qi Yunfan quickly handed them over, “These were all taken in the past month. We did it three times; they are all here.”
Hen Peizhu tried to snatch them away but was stopped by Qi Yunfan, “Mom, calm down. She’s Doctor Anxin, the only one who can save your lung. Do you really want to keep causing a scene?”
Hen Peizhu stiffened, and in the end, did not try to snatch them again, but her gaze at Ye Chuyi was still filled with disdain and contempt.
After looking at the images for a while, Ye Chuyi said to Qi Yunfan, “The tumor tissue is growing too quickly, and it has already become completely fused with the lung. Even if it could be peeled off, the damage to the lung would be very significant, and irreversible.”
Her diagnosis was similar to that of other hospitals’ doctors, which made Qi Yunfan anxiously ask, “So what now?”
“So, her left lung needs to be completely removed.”
“What?!”
Qi Yunfan found the answer hard to accept, “Aren’t you Doctor Anxin? Aren’t you able to remove the tumor without damaging the lung? Are all those rumors false? Or do you have something against me and my mom, deliberately wanting to remove her entire lung?”
Ye Chuyi’s gaze turned icy, “Your Qi Family runs a hospital too, don’t you know that every patient’s condition is different? The method of surgery naturally depends on the type of tumor! Other patients’ lungs can be saved, but that doesn’t mean your mom’s can. Her condition is very serious, removing the left lung is the optimal surgical plan.”
Hearing this, Hen Peizhu knew that her last glimmer of hope was destroyed.
She lunged forward in madness, shoved the assistant away, and grabbed Ye Chuyi’s white coat, cursing loudly, “Golden-medal doctor my ass, I knew you were all talk! You’re nothing but a fraud. If it wasn’t for hearing about your lung-sparing tumor removal, I would have had surgery done long ago! It’s all your fault, leading to this delay; you’re going to kill me! You owe me a lung, pay for it!”
The assistant was startled and immediately stepped forward to pull her away, “You really know how to shirk responsibility, who relies only on ‘hearsay’ when seeking medical treatment? You didn’t register for a consultation, and just based on hearsay, want to pin the blame for the delay in treatment on Doctor Anxin? Does she owe you something?”
“And who the hell are you? Get the hell away from me! My condition was delayed because of her. If anything happens to me, she’ll have my life on her conscience!”
Hen Peizhu was too emotional and suddenly couldn’t catch her breath. Darkness clouded her vision, and she collapsed towards Ye Chuyi.
Ye Chuyi stepped aside, taking the opportunity to pull her white coat away.
Henzhu stumbled and fell straight onto the carpet.
Even though the hospital room was carpeted, her fall was still harsh, leaving her seeing stars, “You, you didn’t even try to help me! You have no medical ethics at all, I’m going to file a complaint against you!”
Ye Chuyi turned a deaf ear to her threats, “I’ve already told you the surgical plan. Whether you accept it or not is up to you.”
After saying that, she turned and left.
The assistant followed her out, and on reaching the door, she rolled her eyes at Hen Peizhu, who was lying on the ground, “Including this time, you’ve tried to extort Doctor Anxin three times! At your age, to feign fainting and stage accidents so frequently, you truly have no shame! Hmph!”
Hen Peizhu was so angry she nearly fainted for real, “Yunfan, let’s go! Dome Hospital is trash. Even if I die, I will never have surgery here!”
Qi Yunfan helped her up, “Mom, don’t be impulsive. I think having Chuyi perform the surgery is definitely better than any other doctor. Just have it done here!”
Hen Peizhu looked at him incredulously, “Do you want me dead? Didn’t you see how that vixen treated me? If I go on the operating table, will there even be a chance for me to survive? She’ll probably take my life directly!”
“She wouldn’t dare.”
“What wouldn’t she dare? Her dad’s a killer! She’s also killed someone in a car accident, have you forgotten that?”
“That…”
“Don’t tell me you’re falling for that vixen again? Qi Yunfan! Where is your brain? No matter how pretty, you can’t have a woman like that! Unless I’m dead!”
Qi Yunfan fell silent.
Indeed, Ye Chuyi’s beauty was one reason he was drawn to her, but after learning of her capabilities, he felt she could definitely be of great help to him.
The Qi Family’s new hospital had opened, but hardly any patients came for treatment, and he was in urgent need of a living billboard.
And Doctor Anxin was the best billboard there could be.
He hadn’t forgotten; using Doctor Anxin’s name had attracted so many people to the hospital that they earned over two billion in just three days. Her ability to draw money was simply invincible. Keeping her at Dome was a waste of resources.
Chapter 252: You’ve Been Fired by the Dome After leaving the ward, Ye Chuyi went straight to the chairman’s office.
She stood in front of Xu Bingwen’s desk and said indifferently, “Chairman Xu, I have examined your friend’s condition. The tumors have spread throughout her left lung. It can’t be saved and needs to be completely removed.”
Xu Bingwen sneered, “Is it really beyond saving, or is Doctor Anxin just unwilling to save it? Aren’t you quite capable? Weren’t you the one who could remove all tumors without harming the lung?”
“If Chairman Xu questions my medical ethics and professionalism, then please find another doctor to operate on your friend. Why bother asking me?”
Ye Chuyi was also irate and didn’t mince her words, “Or is it that Chairman Xu can’t find anyone more professional or with better surgical skills than me?”
“What are you being arrogant about?”
Xu Bingwen stepped in front of her, looking down on her scornfully, “You were very arrogant at the charity dinner, thinking that just because you’ve learned a bit of medicine, you’ve forgotten your own surname? Do you really think you’re that impressive?”
It was the first time Ye Chuyi had ever been told she was arrogant.
She could feel Xu Bingwen’s profound malice toward her, “Chairman Xu really holds a grudge against me over the gala, but I’m not the one at fault here, you are.”
Xu Bingwen looked at her incredulously, “You still have the face to say you’re not at fault? You are the most shameless and despicable person I have ever encountered!”
Ye Chuyi frowned, “How am I shameless and despicable?”
“You know very well how shameless and despicable you are! Dome Hospital doesn’t need a doctor with such corrupt morals and terrible qualities. Since you can’t even save a patient’s lung, there’s no use for you staying at Dome. We at Dome, don’t support the useless!”
Xu Bingwen’s disgust for her had reached its peak, “You’re fired. Get out of Dome right now!”
Ye Chuyi was stunned, “What did you say?”
“Get out of Dome, and don’t ever set foot here again! Additionally, someone like you doesn’t deserve to be a doctor! I will use all the Xu Family’s resources to blacklist you in the entire medical industry, ensuring that you will never be able to perform any surgery again!”
Ye Chuyi could not understand; she had simply provoked him a couple of times at the dinner to go look after his wife. How could he hate her to such an extent?
However, the reason no longer mattered!
If he was going to be ruthless, then she would be even more ruthless than him!noveldrama
“Blacklist me in the medical industry? Xu Bingwen, you’re vastly overestimating yourself! You can try, and we will see if it’s you who blacklists me or me who blacklists you!”
Ye Chuyi left a harsh remark and turned to leave his office.
Her identity was not merely that of a doctor!
She also owned an entire pharmaceutical group; the most effective anti-tumor drugs on the market were developed and produced by Jungle.
If Xu Bingwen dared to blacklist her, then she would dare to cut off the supply of drugs to all of Xu Family’s hospitals!
Having been fired, the first person Ye Chuyi needed to report to was her teacher.
She had come to Dome Hospital because her teacher had brought her, and all her skills were taught by him. She could let down anyone, but she would never let down her teacher, nor could she implicate him.
She went to An Huadong’s office and roughly explained the situation, including her speculation about Xu Bingwen’s reasons for his animosity.
As she was speaking, both their phones beeped simultaneously.
They looked down to see that it was a dismissal notice from the Human Resources Department.
Xu Bingwen couldn’t even wait a moment; he immediately had HR send a notification to all staff, informing them that Doctor Anxin had been fired.
The notice even claimed that she had been fired due to reprehensible behavior and lack of medical ethics.
He was planning to completely destroy her reputation!
After reading the notice, An Huadong’s hand shook with anger as he held his phone, “What kind of person is he? How dare he slander you! I will go and give him a piece of my mind right now!”
Ye Chuyi had grown up through countless hardships and didn’t really care much about many people or things. What mattered most to her in her heart was her teacher, An Huadong.
Seeing her teacher’s normally steady hands trembling, she quickly stepped forward to pat his back and soothe him, “Teacher, don’t be angry. You don’t need to deal with this. I’ll handle it myself. I will retrieve what justice I am due. If I retaliate, Dome might suffer the consequences. What do you think…”
Chapter 253: How Could I Suffer Such a Big Loss? An Huadong could not contain his anger, “What is there to see? With Xu Bingwen being such a scoundrel, how can anything good come out when the Dome falls into his hands? You just fight back, I would never speak a word for him, I am definitely on your side!”
Ye Chuyi poured a cup of hot tea and handed it over to him, “Teacher, take a sip of tea and relax. You’re of such an age, yet you get as worked up as a young person. Haven’t you always taught me to keep my emotions stable, to remain unflustered even if Mount Tai crumbles before me?”
An Huadong took the tea and, looking at her serene face, his emotions finally began to settle down.
After sipping the tea, he touched Ye Chuyi’s head with a bit of tenderness, “Silly child, it’s because I care about you. Only I know how talented you are, how hardworking you are, and nobody understands your character better than I do. If he had simply fired you, I wouldn’t have been this furious, but he’s clearly out to ruin you. Once a reputation of violating medical ethics gets out, you won’t be able to practice medicine anymore.”
Ye Chuyi felt warmth in her heart and her eyes reddened.
In this world, the person who treated her the best, who loved her the most, was her teacher.
She actually wasn’t afraid of being fired or being falsely accused; she only feared letting down the teacher who had poured his heart into training her.
“Teacher, don’t worry. No matter what happens, I will continue to be a doctor. I want to be like you, fighting on the front line even at seventy. Is Xu Bingwen such a formidable person? Just because he says I lack medical ethics, does that mean I do? What, does his family run a court, not a hospital?”noveldrama
An Huadong almost laughed at her joke, “In this kind of situation and you still have the mood to joke, I don’t know whether teaching you to be so composed is a good or bad thing.”
“Of course it’s a good thing. Otherwise, how could I save face for you during the earthquake? Now, who doesn’t praise the students you’ve taught for being as solid as Mount Tai?”
An Huadong finally chuckled, “Alright, enough flattering me. Go pack your things and take a few days off at home!”
“Take a few days off? What are you planning to do?”
“What else? I’m going to settle accounts with Xu Bingwen’s old man! When Xu Qiong told me he was leaving the hospital in charge of his son, he never mentioned his son was this kind of trash! If Xu Bingwen doesn’t get lost, I’ll take you and your senior brother to another hospital. Hospitals outside would fight tooth and nail for us!”
No sooner had he finished speaking than the office door was pushed open.
Chi Cheng ran in anxiously, unlike his usual composed self, “Teacher, Junior Sister, what’s going on? Has this new chairman lost his mind? Why would he fire Junior Sister and slander her?!”
Ye Chuyi smiled at him, “Senior Brother, this is the first time I’ve heard you curse.”
“Junior Sister, how can you still smile? What gives Xu Bingwen the right to do this? Let’s go settle the score with him!”
An Huadong glared at him, “See, you’ve all been taught the same, yet even though you started a year before your junior sister, she’s much more stable than you. Rash as ever, you didn’t even knock before coming in!”
Chi Cheng was dumbfounded, how was this situation different from what he had expected?
Is the focus now on knocking on the door? Shouldn’t it be about knocking Xu Bingwen’s head off?
Ye Chuyi pulled him over to sit on the sofa, “Senior Brother, don’t worry. How can I just accept such a loss? They can’t just fire me for no reason as if the previous contracts meant nothing.”
An Huadong, sipping his tea, said, “Chi Cheng, get ready. If I can’t get Xu Bingwen out, then we’re going to switch hospitals.”
Without a second’s hesitation, Chi Cheng replied, “Teacher, wherever you and Junior Sister go, that’s where I’ll be.”
An Huadong was pleased and teased him, “What if the two of us end up on the streets? Would you still follow us there?”
Chi Cheng’s response was straightforward, “Of course!”
An Huadong nodded in satisfaction; these two were his precious students, and naturally, he’d want to take them wherever he went.
As long as An Huadong had a bite to eat, he would never let his two disciples go hungry.
He stood up, “That old Xu Qiong is probably still fishing; I’ll go and give him a piece of my mind! To rear a son without a brain, might as well feed him to the fish!”
“Anxin, you get a lawyer, we’re suing Dome straightaway. If the Xu Family doesn’t pay dearly this time, we’re not done with them!”
Chi Cheng, “Teacher, what about me? What should I do?”
An Huadong, “You? Your cursing skills are far too limited. Today, you’ll come with me to scold Xu Qiong. You can learn how to curse properly from me.”
Chapter 254: Stop Supplying All Medicines to the Dome Ye Chuyi returned to her office, packed her things, and prepared to leave.
Her assistant looked at her with teary eyes, “Doctor Anxin, does the new chairman have some misunderstanding about you? How could he want to fire you? Your medical skills are so strong, and you’re an exemplary worker at the hospital. I thought that even if the hospital went bankrupt, you wouldn’t be fired!”
“I don’t know if he misunderstands me, but I might have hit a nerve. The moment he saw me today, he acted like he’d eaten gunpowder, not showing me the slightest bit of kindness.”
Ye Chuyi patted her shoulder, “You keep working here for now. Once I find a new hospital, you can still follow me.”
The assistant was somewhat surprised, “Doctor Anxin, you’re willing to take me with you? You don’t find me too clumsy?”
“Hmm, clumsy you may be, but you are devoted to me, making you a good assistant. I haven’t planned on replacing you.”
“Doctor Anxin, rest assured, I’ll be even more loyal to you in the future!”
Ye Chuyi smiled lightly and nodded, then left with her packed things.
She didn’t go home, but went straight to Jungle Pharmaceutical.
Cong Ningyuan was surprised to see her, “Why have you come to the company at this hour? Didn’t you say you had surgery at Dome today?”
“The surgery has already been reassigned to another doctor by the hospital.”
“Why?”
“Because I’ve been fired by Dome’s new chairman, Xu Bingwen.”
“What?!”
In front of An Huadong, Ye Chuyi could still smile and comfort him, but in front of Cong Ningyuan, she couldn’t muster a single smile.
Her expression cold, she said, “Xu Bingwen even boasted that he would blacklist me in the entire medical industry. The reason he fired me was that he said I lack medical ethics. He thinks I’m putty in his hands!”
Cong Ningyuan’s face darkened as well, “Is he deliberately targeting you? Why?”
“Probably because I meddled in his business and reprimanded him a few times at the charity dinner; he must hold a grudge against me.”
“How can a grown man be so petty? Dome is not going to be better off with someone like him as chairman.”
“I indeed have no intention of letting Xu Bingwen off easily. He dares to sling mud at me, accusing me of lacking medical ethics—then I’ll show him what it means to lack something! From today onwards, stop all drug supplies to Dome!”
“Alright, I’ll take care of it right away!”
Cong Ningyuan left her office to carry out her orders.
Ye Chuyi sat at her desk and made a phone call, “Ivy, find me the best legal team. I’m going to sue Dome.”
Ivy was immensely shocked but asked no further questions. He could tell from the tone of Ye Chuyi’s voice that she must have been deeply aggrieved, “Yes, boss, I’ll contact the lawyers immediately!”
By afternoon, the legal notice had already been sent to Dome.
In the chairman’s office, Xu Bingwen took a glance at the legal notice handed to him by his secretary and said, “Let her sue, just prepare our legal department to handle it.”noveldrama
Then, he passed the legal notice back to the secretary.
When the secretary took it, her fingers brushed against his.
Xu Bingwen looked at her, hesitated for a moment, but still said, “Xia Chan, submit your resignation. Handover any outstanding work to the HR department. From now on, you won’t need to work for me.”
The secretary’s face turned pale, “Mr. Xu, why do you want me to submit my resignation? Have I not done a good job? If you’re unsatisfied with my work you can scold me, I will surely improve. Please don’t fire me, I really need this job.”
“It’s not that you haven’t done well, it’s just that my wife dislikes having a female secretary. You know she’s pregnant and tends to have wild thoughts. This isn’t good for her or the child.”
The secretary’s eyes reddened, “But, there has been nothing inappropriate between us, we’ve kept things strictly professional! Is your wife treating me like this without it being fair to me? I’ve worked so hard, painstakingly managing all your work relationships. Without any credit, I’ve still endured the hardships. Are you kicking me to the curb just on your wife’s word?”
Xu Bingwen frowned slightly, “Forcing you to leave is indeed treating you unfairly, so I’ll have HR give you an additional year’s salary. Besides, if there is a company you are interested in working for, I can also write you a letter of recommendation.”
Chapter 255: You and President Xu Are Quite a Match The secretary’s tears fell, yet she still maintained a facade of strength. “No need, President Xu. Since your wife has misunderstood me and you also loathe me, then it’s best for me to leave. You don’t need to write me a letter of recommendation. I have the education and the ability to find another job on my own merits.”
“When did I say I loathe you? I admire your work ability, otherwise, I wouldn’t have selected you from thousands of resumes.”
The secretary cried while self-mockingly saying, “It seems that being good at my job isn’t much use here. If I were a man, then I could have continued to stay by your side, working overtime with you late into the night without anyone saying anything, attending events with you to shield you from drinks and without raising suspicions about my intentions.”
Xu Bingwen sighed, unable to help it.
He had been using this secretary for a year and indeed found her very capable. Xia Chan not only had a good image and demeanor but also graduated from a prestigious university with talent and capability, exceptionally hardworking. Regardless of how long she stayed overtime with him, she never complained of tiredness, even foregoing rest on weekends. Her thoughtfulness was especially meticulous, even the way she ironed his shirts and suits was better than others.
He had become accustomed to her perfecting the small details of his work, so when his wife suggested several times to change secretaries, he had vaguely avoided the matter.
But this time, he couldn’t evade it, which is why he had no choice but to fire Xia Chan.
This was also the first time he saw Xia Chan cry. No matter how he reprimanded her or how exhausting the work was, she never once wept or caused a scene.
Xu Bingwen felt guilty: “I’ll give you an additional two years’ worth of salary. Go to the finance department to get the money.”
The secretary couldn’t help but clench her hands. Two years’ salary was only six hundred thousand. What was the use of such a small sum? Mrs. Xu’s single purse was worth over a million!
Wasn’t seducing Xu Bingwen better than painstakingly working?
She didn’t wish to leave, but Xu Bingwen insisted she go: “I’m about to have a guest. You should leave first.”
“President Xu, I haven’t resigned yet. Let me entertain your guest for you.”
“No need.”
Seeing his firm attitude, the secretary dared not insist any further. She wiped her tears and turned to leave.
However, just as she stepped out, she hadn’t gone far when someone stopped her.
“You’re President Xu’s secretary, right? Hello, I’m Wen Nianyou, a friend of President Xu.”
The secretary looked at the hand she extended and shook it without a change in expression: “Hello, I’m Xia Chan. Are you here to see President Xu?”
“I’m here to see him, but what happened to you? Did you get treated unfairly over there?”
“No, Miss Wen, you’re overthinking it.”
Wen Nianyou suddenly leaned closer and whispered, “If you really want to get President Xu, you might want to put more effort into dealing with his wife.”
Xia Chan’s pupils sharply contracted: “What are you talking about, Miss Wen? I don’t understand.”
“Of course, you understand.”
Wen Nianyou’s smile was exceptionally gentle, her voice seeming soft and harmless: “At the charity dinner that day, Mrs. Xu couldn’t enter the banquet hall and no one answered her calls to President Xu. That was your doing, wasn’t it? Now, I can tell you that your methods were quite effective. Mrs. Xu almost miscarried, and she said that if there is any dubious relationship between you two, she would divorce President Xu immediately.”
Xia Chan looked at her: “What are you telling me this for? Aren’t you President Xu’s friend?”
“I am President Xu’s friend, but that doesn’t mean I’m friends with Mrs. Xu. Mrs. Xu is so ugly and fat; she’s totally not right for President Xu. But you, with a nice figure, good temperament, beautiful, and capable, you’re quite a match for President Xu.”
“You flatter me too much, Miss Wen. I’m quite ordinary and not a match for President Xu. Mrs. Xu and President Xu are well-matched by social status, they are the perfect couple.”
Wen Nianyou sneered: “If you were really so ordinary, it wouldn’t have been you who accompanied President Xu to the charity gala. In such a setting, since he brought you and not his wife, it’s enough to show that he also feels his wife is not presentable and he would rather have you by his side.”
“You’re joking, Miss Wen. President Xu only brought me because he thinks I’m competent at my job.”
“Suit yourself. I’ve said what I should and shouldn’t have. The rest is up to you to seize the opportunity or not.”noveldrama
After saying her piece, Wen Nianyou walked past her, knocked on the door of Xu Bingwen’s office, and then entered.
Xia Chan watched her go inside, slowly withdrawing her gaze.
This Wen, who suddenly appeared, did not seem like a good soul. On one hand, posing as a friend to Xu Bingwen while on the other, secretly suggesting she oust Mrs. Xu.
Xia Chan considered herself quite scheming, yet she hadn’t anticipated meeting someone even more so.
However, not all of what Wen Nianyou said was useless. At the least, the fact that Mrs. Xu wanted a divorce gave her a new plan.
She took out her phone, got the details of Mrs. Xu’s hospital room, and stepped into the elevator in her high heels.
Chapter 256 Is Ye Chuyi Completely Finished? In the office.
Xu Bingwen was pouring tea for Wen Nianyou, “I am truly sorry, Miss Wen, but I failed to accomplish the task you entrusted to me. I have already arranged for your friend in the Dome’s VIP ward, however, Doctor Anxin said that she couldn’t save the patient’s lung, and the left lung needs to be completely removed.”
Wen Nianyou had anticipated that Ye Chuyi would not operate on Hen Peizhu. She made this request to Xu Bingwen simply to get him to meet with Ye Chuyi.
In this way, he would discover that Doctor Anxin was the person who had hit his wife.
With a saddened expression, she said, “Even Doctor Anxin can’t do it? How could this happen?”
Xu Bingwen spoke, “Her surgical skills are actually not as amazing as the outside world thinks, and her character is questionable too. Miss Wen, you probably don’t know that Doctor Anxin is actually the person who hit my wife.”
Wen Nianyou gasped, covering her mouth, “Is it her? Really?”
“Really, the clothing and appearance you described that day all match her. She was the one who hit my wife and almost caused her to have a miscarriage. If it weren’t for your help, I might have already lost my child by now.”
Xu Bingwen picked up the teacup, “I’ll use tea in place of wine to toast to Miss Wen.”
“You are too kind, Mr. Xu. Helping your wife was just a small favor I did on a whim; no need to worry about it.”
While saying this, Wen Nianyou picked up the teacup and clinked it with his, then took a sip.
She tentatively asked, “I just don’t know how you plan to get justice for your wife, Mr. Xu? Surely you can’t let your wife suffer and be frightened for nothing. You didn’t see how arrogant she was after hitting your wife; even an outsider like me was infuriated!”
Xu Bingwen set down the teacup and said coldly, “I have already fired Doctor Anxin!”
Wen Nianyou was both shocked and delighted, “Fired? She won’t work at your hospital anymore?”
“That’s right.”
“But she is the famous Doctor Anxin. Aren’t some patients waiting for her surgeries going to blame you? Won’t the medical staff who support her say anything?”
“Of course not. I am the chairman of this hospital; I have the final say. The reason for her dismissal was made very clear—it was due to her poor character and lack of medical ethics. With such reasons for her dismissal, which patients would still want her to operate on them? Which medical staff would speak up for her?”
Wen Nianyou almost couldn’t restrain herself from laughing out loud!
She had carefully orchestrated and painstakingly schemed, hoping that Xu Bingwen would grow to hate Ye Chuyi and then deal with her harshly.
Unexpectedly, Xu Bingwen was even more ruthless than she had thought, cutting Ye Chuyi’s medical career short!
Poor character, lack of medical ethics?
With these two heavy accusations pressed down, Ye Chuyi was completely finished, wasn’t she? Let’s see how she could still remain arrogant using the name “Doctor Anxin”!noveldrama
Wen Nianyou felt incredibly content, “Mr. Xu is right in doing so. Such an unethical person, staying in your hospital would be a hidden danger. It’s better to fire her early to avoid risks. It just so happens to serve justice for Mrs. Xu. She would definitely be very pleased once she knows.”
“Do you think she’ll be happy too?”
“Of course. At least I would be very happy if I were her.”
“That’s good. I am just worried that she won’t be happy and it’ll affect the baby again.”
“I really envy Mrs. Xu for having such a good husband like you; she is truly fortunate.”
With an imperceptible tone, Wen Nianyou praised Xu Bingwen and engaged in idle chatter with him for quite a while before saying, “To tell you the truth, Mr. Xu, my hospitalized friend’s family also owns a hospital, but it lacks reputation. Do you perhaps have any good business methods for running a hospital?”
“That depends mainly on the doctors. If the doctors are good, the hospital’s reputation naturally rises, and patients will be willing to come for treatment.”
“Actually, the doctors at my friend’s hospital aren’t bad, but certainly not as good as yours. I wonder if you wouldn’t mind letting doctors from my friend’s hospital come to yours for an exchange and learning experience?”
“No problem at all. Our hospital has exchange activities and we have surgical open days, so your friend’s doctors can come to observe and learn.”
“That’s great, thank you so much, Mr. Xu! You are quite generous!”
Chapter 257 Kneeling and Begging A few days later.
News of Dome Hospital cutting off medication had spread all over the internet.
The rich who had previously liked to seek medical care at Dome Hospital had also turned to other private hospitals.
An Huadong went as far as to directly announce that, effective immediately, he would resign from his position as the president of Dome Hospital and will henceforth have no association with Dome.
Dome Hospital had practically overnight been caught in a maelstrom of public opinion. Patients who had booked surgeries with Doctor Anxin were especially vocal in their complaints and even gathered at the hospital to denounce the chairman, demanding an explanation.
Madam Xu, lying in her ward and listening to the noisy commotion outside, couldn’t help but ask Xu Bingwen, “What’s going on these days? Wasn’t the hospital fine before? Why is everyone causing such a fuss now? Is it because you fired Doctor Anxin?”
Xu Bingwen had not rested well for several days; his father berated him every day, demanding he apologize to Doctor Anxin and rehire her, but he had not relented.
He got up to close the window, “These are all trifles, just lie down and don’t get out of bed.”
“How does this look like a trifle? Do you really think I’ve become stupid from being pregnant for three years? Doctor Anxin is Dome’s star doctor. Patients recognize only her. Suddenly firing her is like stirring up a hornet’s nest, isn’t it? Hurry up and invite her back!”
“If you knew who she was, you wouldn’t suggest I invite her back.”
“Who is she?”
“No one, you don’t need to worry about hospital matters. Rest well, I’ll go out and take a look.”
Having said that, Xu Bingwen left.
Not long after he had gone, Xia Chan entered the ward.
Madam Xu’s face soured upon seeing her, “Who let you in? Didn’t I tell you the other day that you’re not welcome here? Get out!”
Xia Chan immediately knelt down, “Madam, please spare me a way out!”
Madam Xu was startled, “What are you doing? Who are you trying to scare? Are you deliberately kneeling to cut my life short?”
“Madam, there’s nothing between me and Mr. Xu, I am just a secretary. Taking care of him every day is part of my job! Mr. Xu does indeed rely a lot on me because I understand him so well, that’s why he likes to take me with him wherever he goes.”
Xia Chan knelt straight, looking utterly humble, but her spoken words stabbed Madam Xu in the heart like knives, “Madam is pregnant and not convenient to attend to Mr. Xu, so naturally his secretary should take care of him. When we travel for business, I am the one who prepares Mr. Xu’s underwear.”
“But rest assured, Madam, even though Mr. Xu and I are very close, and sometimes we even sleep together, nothing has ever happened. I am not that kind of person.”
“Mr. Xu chooses to bring me instead of you to evening events not just because I might have a slightly better image and temperament, making him look more presentable, but after you got pregnant, you gained a lot of weight and can’t drink. Why would Mr. Xu take you with him to such events?”
Madam Xu clutched her belly, “You—you get out!”noveldrama
“Madam, please allow me to stay by Mr. Xu’s side. You’ve seen it yourself, without me, his work is a mess; even the usually reputable Dome is about to be ruined. Does Madam truly want to ruin Mr. Xu’s career for her own selfish desires?”
“I told you to get out!”
Xia Chan stood up and as she did, a photo fell out of her pocket.
Her face changed, she hurriedly picked it up, and then looked guiltily at Madam Xu.
But Madam Xu had already seen the photo; on it was a picture of her husband holding Xia Chan intimately.
Their postures were so affectionate in the photo!
How long had it been since Xu Bingwen had held her like that? Probably not since she became pregnant!
Tears suddenly sprang to Madam Xu’s eyes, and she was overcome with pain in her belly, “You, when did you—the two of you, get out, you adulterers!”
Lowering her head, Xia Chan saw that blood had already started flowing down her thigh.
She gave a cold laugh and turned to leave.
Madam Xu, enduring the sharp pain, pressed the call bell.
Moments later, the nurse arrived to see a pool of blood and her face went pale. She immediately shouted for help, “Someone come quickly! Madam Xu needs emergency treatment right away!”
Chapter 258 Did I cause your wife to have a miscarriage? At dusk.
Ye Chuyi received a call from Chairman Xu Qiong of Dome.
“Doctor Anxin, I apologize on my son’s behalf. It was wrong of him to fire you. I’ve already scolded him harshly. Please come back. Dome can’t function without you.”
The chairman’s tone was very sincere and even carried a clear sense of anxiety.
Although Ye Chuyi was angry with Xu Bingwen, she still respected Xu Qiong. After all, he was a close friend of her mentor and had looked after her over the years.
“Chairman, I would like to return, but I’m afraid Chairman Xiaoxu won’t agree. You must know what he said on the public document when he fired me, that I have a bad character and my medical ethics are lacking. Chairman, I can’t bear such a stigma and go back under such unclear circumstances.”
“I know, and I scolded him for that too. He also knows he was wrong. Anxin, come back to the hospital, and I will have him apologize to you in person. Besides, I no longer need him to be the chairman of Dome, I’ll take over. Rest assured, as long as I’m here, no one will dare to touch you again.”
Xu Qiong made a promise and after saying a lot of good things, Ye Chuyi reluctantly agreed to return to the hospital once.
Because her mentor had already informed her earlier, if Xu Qiong personally asked her to come back, then she would go. But she must first clear her name of the slander thrown at her by Xu Bingwen.noveldrama
Whether or not to stay at Dome would be her own decision.
Ye Chuyi drove back to Dome and went straight to the chairman’s office.
Xu Qiong and his son Xu Bingwen were there, as well as her mentor, An Huadong.
The atmosphere in the office was tense, with not a trace of smile on any of their faces.
Upon seeing her, Xu Qiong started to apologize again, then he looked sharply at his son, “Aren’t you going to apologize to Doctor Anxin right away!”
Xu Bingwen glanced at Ye Chuyi and apologetically said, “I’m sorry, Doctor Anxin.”
Ye Chuyi remained silent. It was clear to her that Xu Bingwen’s apology wasn’t sincere, and she had the right to reject such perfunctory words.
Anxiety flickered across Xu Qiong’s face, “Doctor Anxin, actually, the reason we called you back is for an urgent surgery that we need you to perform.”
“What surgery?”
“It’s for my daughter-in-law. She’s been pregnant for six months now, but she’s been bleeding frequently and suffering from threatened abortion. Today, the situation almost led to a miscarriage. I’d like you to help figure out a way to save both the mother and the child.”
“Chairman, I specialize in oncology, not obstetrics and gynecology. I’m afraid I can’t be of help.”
“No, you can help! The reason why my daughter-in-law keeps bleeding is actually because she has a uterine tumor. The tumor was initially small, and the obstetrics and gynecology department said it wouldn’t affect the baby, so they left it alone. But recently, the tumor suddenly grew larger and faster, and it’s now seriously affecting the child.”
Ye Chuyi finally understood why Xu Qiong was so anxious and why Xu Bingwen apologized to her.
It turned out they wanted her to operate on Mrs. Xu.
She looked toward her mentor, and seeing him nod slightly, she said, “Let’s examine the pregnant woman’s condition first. Do you have the scans? Where is the tumor located, and how big is it?”
Xu Qiong, seeing her agree so readily, was overjoyed and immediately handed her the scans and the medical records.
After reviewing the scans, Ye Chuyi frowned, “The tumor is indeed too large and needs to be removed, but it will require termination of the pregnancy.”
Xu Bingwen’s face turned ashen, “My wife had a hard time getting pregnant with this child. We called you here to remove the tumor while keeping the child alive! You talk about terminating the pregnancy so lightly, as if my wife’s suffering for six months was for nothing!”
Ye Chuyi replied coldly, “Chairman Xu cares about your wife now? I thought you were planning to promote your secretary and wouldn’t mind if your wife had a miscarriage.”
Xu Bingwen became furious, “What are you talking about? If it weren’t for the way you endangered my wife at the banquet, causing her to nearly have a miscarriage, she wouldn’t be in such critical condition today!”
Ye Chuyi was also annoyed, “I endangered your wife’s pregnancy? Are you brainless? If I had caused it, why would I have gone out of my way to tell you that your wife had been admitted to the hospital?”
“That’s just guilt for doing something wrong, and then pretending to be a good person in front of me!”
Chapter 259: I’m Sorry, I Can’t Comply Ye Chuyi looked at his furious expression, and she too was quite angered by him.
However, she was much more rational than Xu Bingwen. His conviction that she was the one who harmed Mrs. Xu might not just be his prejudice—there was a high chance someone had said something to him.
Moreover, Qi Yunfan had told her that Wen Nianyou was friends with Xu Bingwen, which meant that the person who had spoken was very likely Wen Nianyou herself!
Wen Nianyou’s specialty was distorting the truth, expert at shifting the blame onto her, and Ye Chuyi had experienced far too much of this from childhood to adulthood.
Perhaps this time was no exception.
Realizing this, Ye Chuyi quickly calmed down.
Arguing with Xu Bingwen was pointless.
She held the films and earnestly said to Xu Qiong, “Chairman, terminating the pregnancy is the most prudent and safe approach. If you insist on keeping the child and removing the tumor, I’m not saying I can’t perform the surgery for your daughter-in-law, but she will have to assume very high risks.”
“I can remove the tumor without harming the fetus, but post-tumor removal, we face a significant challenge with hemostasis, and there is a high risk of infection. Many drugs cannot be used on pregnant women, which will increase the difficulty of treatment.”
Xu Qiong and Xu Bingwen both looked at her in shock, “Can you really remove the tumor without harming the fetus?!”
Before she arrived, they had already organized a consultation with experts from the obstetrics and oncology departments of the hospital.
Everyone had suggested terminating the pregnancy, and no one dared to guarantee the fetus would be unharmed because they simply could not do so.
Later, an experienced director from the obstetrics department mentioned that Doctor Anxin had previously performed a similar tumor removal, and afterward, the pregnant woman was able to keep her child, giving birth to a healthy baby girl after a full-term pregnancy. The baby’s parents even came to the hospital later to present Ye Chuyi with a banner of thanks.
That’s why they hastily called Ye Chuyi to return.
However, the pregnant woman’s tumor at that time was smaller, and the gestational age of the child was less, making the surgery less difficult than the current case.
“Not harming the fetus is not a difficult task. Not only can I do it, but my teacher can as well.”
Ye Chuyi’s expression became serious, “But the difficulty is in controlling postoperative complications. If major bleeding or infection occurs, we still won’t be able to save the child, and the pregnant woman will have to suffer the pain of two surgeries and possibly risk her life.”
Xu Qiong hesitated a bit, “This…”noveldrama
“Chairman, I still recommend terminating the pregnancy. You can have children again. If you definitely want me to perform the surgery, then I need to see the pregnant woman herself, inform her of the dangers, and let her make the decision. I cannot proceed based on your and your son’s decision,” she said.
The ones not facing life-threatening risks were not the two men before her but the woman carrying the child. Naturally, Ye Chuyi wouldn’t listen to them.
She had expected Xu Bingwen would still insist on her performing the surgery, but to her surprise, he immediately nodded, “I’ll take you to see my wife, and we will listen to her decision.”
Ye Chuyi was somewhat skeptical. What was Xu Bingwen’s real attitude towards his wife? One moment he seemed not to care about her life at all, and the next, he was saying they would listen to her decision.
Why did he give her such conflicting feelings?
With this skepticism, she followed Xu Bingwen to the ward.
Mrs. Xu lay on the bed, her face pale and her cheeks severely swollen, clearly enduring tremendous pain.
Upon seeing Ye Chuyi, Mrs. Xu was taken aback, and then immediately tried to sit up.
Xu Bingwen quickly stepped forward to hold her down, “Don’t move around, just lie down. She is Doctor Anxin, and also the person who collided with you that night at the dinner. Your condition is critical, and I had no choice but to call her here. She may not be a good person, but her medical skills are still commendable.”
Chapter 260: She is the One Who Saved Me Mrs. Xu was suddenly stunned, “Xu Bingwen, what are you talking about? Have you lost your mind?”
Xu Bingwen frowned, “What, am I wrong?”
Mrs. Xu hurriedly apologized to Ye Chuyi, “Doctor Anxin, I’m so sorry, truly sorry. My husband misunderstood you, did he even fire you? What a mess this is! I’m sorry, it’s all my fault for not explaining things clearly to him and making you suffer such a great grievance. I… I can’t even face you now.”
Ye Chuyi had already guessed what was going on and wasn’t too surprised when she heard Xu Bingwen’s words. His misunderstanding must have been caused by Wen Nianyou’s scheming.
She approached Mrs. Xu’s bedside and soothed her, “Keep your breathing steady, don’t get agitated. You don’t have to apologize, it’s not your fault. I believe you didn’t know anything.”
Xu Bingwen heard his wife repeatedly saying sorry and continuously apologizing to Ye Chuyi, and he realized he might have mistaken her for someone else.
His mind went blank, and his body became incredibly rigid, “Wan Qing, she, wasn’t she the one who bumped into you that evening?”
Mrs. Xu didn’t even want to speak to him. Although he had said the photo with the secretary was doctored, her anger hadn’t subsided yet.
But now she had to speak up; she couldn’t allow her husband to continue misunderstanding his benefactor.noveldrama
“She was the one who called 120 for an ambulance for me that night, she helped me! Xu Bingwen, she’s the lifesaver of me and our child! Why would you fire her? If you don’t want me and the child anymore, just say it clearly. Why implicate an innocent doctor?”
Her tone was uncontrollably excited and furious, and if she had been able to get up, she would have even slapped Xu Bingwen.
Xu Bingwen’s face changed abruptly, “She is the one who saved you? Impossible!”
Mrs. Xu was very angry, “Don’t I know who saved me? Why don’t you go ask the security guard from that day to see exactly who hit me and who saved me!”
“It’s because I heard from the security guard that Miss Wen saved you, so I never thought it could be someone else.”
“What? The security guard said it was Miss Wen? Who on earth is this Miss Wen?!”
“Wasn’t the person who saved you Miss Wen?”
“I have no idea what the surname of the person who saved me is. It was you, Xu Bingwen, you were the one who told me that Miss Wen saved me! I found it odd how suddenly a Miss Wen appeared out of nowhere. Xu Bingwen, is one female secretary not enough for you that you have to find another vixen?”
Seeing Mrs. Xu becoming agitated again, Ye Chuyi had to gently pat her shoulder, “Take deep breaths, don’t get worked up. The Miss Wen you mentioned definitely isn’t a vixen brought by your husband. She was the one who collided with you that night, her name is Wen Nianyou.”
“What?!”
Xu Bingwen, hearing Ye Chuyi openly naming Wen Nianyou, asked her with a frown, “Do you know Wen Nianyou?”
“I do, we are archenemies. You must have been used by her, Director Xu. If the security guard said she was the one who saved your wife, it’s very likely that she paid him off; she’s no stranger to such deeds.”
Xu Bingwen clenched his fists tightly, making his knuckles crack, “I will have it investigated!”
Ye Chuyi ignored him and let him do whatever he would with his investigation, since the person who hit his wife wasn’t her anyway.
After calming Mrs. Xu down, she explained all the risks of the surgery to her, “It’s best to terminate the pregnancy. You’re still young; you can have more children. Your own life is the most precious.”
Mrs. Xu clutched her hand tightly, “Doctor Anxin, it’s not that I don’t cherish my life, it’s just that this child didn’t come easily. I’ve been married for five years, taken many shots, consumed a lot of medicine, and gone through numerous IVF treatments to conceive this child. It’s because of all the hormone-laden medications I’ve taken that I’ve become so overweight; I didn’t use to be like this…”
As she spoke, tears streamed down her face, “You ask my husband. If he wants this child, then I will keep it. If he no longer wants me and the child and plans to be with his secretary, then it doesn’t matter. You can arrange the surgery.”
