Ch. 261..270

Chapter 261 Apology Xu Bingwen’s brows were tightly knit. “Wan Qing, what nonsense are you talking about again? Haven’t I already told you that I’ve fired the secretary? I’ve never thought of not wanting you and our child. Can’t you stop being so paranoid?”

“Am I being paranoid? Isn’t it you who’s never kept your distance from your secretary? You take her everywhere, even to dinners I should have been at! You have no idea how pretentious and arrogant she is in front of me; you’re always shielding her!”

“Aren’t you pregnant and need to rest? If I took you to those crowded events and you had a miscarriage, what then? I take her because she’s competent at her job, not because I’m shielding her!”

“That’s just your excuse. You’re clearly fed up with me, you dislike that I’m fat, that I’m ugly, unlike your young and pretty secretary!”

“I haven’t grown tired of you!”noveldrama

“Every time I call you, either you don’t answer, or it’s that woman who does. I can never reach you! I can only ever hear your secretary’s sarcastic tone!”

“Isn’t it because I’m busy working? What’s the problem if she answers the phone? There’s nothing between us, can you please not get the wrong idea?”

Ye Chuyi listened to the couple’s quarrel, and her head started to ache.

She quickly raised her voice, trying to stop them, “What are we doing here? Director Xu, why are you still arguing with your wife? Don’t you know how critical her condition is right now?”

Xu Bingwen paused. “She insists that I’m having an affair with the secretary. No matter how I explain, she won’t listen. What can I do?”

Ye Chuyi had seen him with that female secretary. She didn’t know if he had feelings for his secretary, but the secretary’s looks at him were definitely not innocent, and her body language was far too intimate.

He indeed had not maintained a proper distance from the secretary.

However, these words couldn’t be said in front of Mrs. Xu. She was already very angry, and it was best not to add fuel to the fire.

“Director Xu, why don’t you step outside? I’ll have a private word with her. You being here is only making things worse.”

Xu Bingwen was silent for a moment, but eventually, he left.

As the door closed, Ye Chuyi turned back to Mrs. Xu. “Calm your emotions. Your body is your own, and whether or not you keep the child is your decision. I’ve already told you about the high risk of the surgery. You need to decide if you want to take that risk.”

Mrs. Xu gradually calmed down, caressing her belly before asking hesitantly, “Will the surgery harm the baby?”

“The procedure won’t harm the child, but it will harm you.”

“Then I want to go through with the surgery. I want to take that chance.”

Ye Chuyi didn’t know if it was her great love for the child or her deep love for Xu Bingwen that led her to risk her life.

She sighed softly, “Alright, since you’ve made up your mind, I won’t try to persuade you. Prepare yourself; we need to operate as soon as possible. We can’t delay any longer given your condition.”

Mrs. Xu looked at her and said earnestly, “Thank you, Doctor Anxin. Including this time, you’ve saved me and my child twice.”

Ye Chuyi gave a bitter smile, “The first time, I definitely did save you, but this second one is still uncertain. The surgery is difficult and, honestly, not a big deal to me. The important thing is whether there will be complications afterwards. If there’s an infection, even a deity would struggle to help.”

“I know, it’s fine. Just do the surgery; the rest is up to my fate.”

Ye Chuyi nodded her head, “I’ll need to get to the operating room to prepare. You can’t get upset anymore, understand?”

“Yeah, I understand.”

Ye Chuyi saw her determination and didn’t say anything further, turning to leave her hospital room.

Outside the ward, Xu Bingwen was standing.

Seeing her emerge, an embarrassed look crossed his face. “Doctor Anxin, about the earlier misunderstanding, I’m sorry. I owe you a formal apology.”

Ye Chuyi wasn’t too keen on dealing with him.

She didn’t understand why he was so quick to believe Wen Nianyou’s words and hastily concluded she was the culprit behind his wife’s near miscarriage.

Although the undeserved misfortune was due to Wen Nianyou’s manipulations behind the scenes, a bit of brainpower and verification on Xu Bingwen’s part could have easily cleared up the misunderstanding.

His reckless actions had made her respected teacher utterly frustrated. Deep down, she felt genuinely sorry for her teacher; at his age, he shouldn’t have to worry about her being fired.

 

Chapter 262 High-Risk Surgery Xu Bingwen saw that Ye Chuyi was ignoring him, knowing she was still angry, he couldn’t help but say, “It’s all my fault for firing you, rest assured, I will issue a new statement to apologize to you and clear your name.”

“Hmm.”

Ye Chuyi answered indifferently and walked away.

It was he who had framed her and ruined her reputation, so of course, he should apologize to her now. If it weren’t for meeting his wife today, she might still be carrying the blame, even unaware of how she had offended him.

If it hadn’t been for Xu Qiong’s sake, she would have continued to hold him responsible and demanded compensation!

Ye Chuyi changed her clothes and entered the operating room.

As the patient this time was a pregnant woman, aside from her, there were also two obstetricians in the operating room.

They didn’t belittle Ye Chuyi for being fired because Doctor Anxin had been at Dome for more than a day or two. Even if some medical staff had never seen her, they all knew about her abilities.

Her medical skills and ethics had never been questioned before, and every patient she had treated was grateful to her. Except for that one time used by Qi Hospital, she had no negative news at all.

The two obstetricians respected her a great deal, voluntarily acting as her assistants.

Mrs. Xu was soon wheeled in, and since she was pregnant, she couldn’t undergo general anesthesia for the surgery and could only be given local anesthesia.

She lay on the operating table, looking at Ye Chuyi, “Doctor Anxin, thank you for not holding a grudge and for doing this surgery. I apologize again on behalf of my husband, and he said he will also issue an announcement to apologize to you hospital-wide.”

Ye Chuyi didn’t know whether to call her brave or detailed; at such a time, she wasn’t concerned about herself and was still apologizing for her husband.

“Mrs. Xu, maintain steady breathing and don’t think about your husband’s business for now. You can chat with our medical staff, talk about happy things, and distract yourself. The surgery is about to start, and if you feel any discomfort during the process, you must tell me immediately.”

Mrs. Xu finally became nervous, “Oh, okay, alright.”

After local anesthesia was administered, Ye Chuyi used the endoscope to locate the tumor and started the removal.

The surgery was extremely difficult, and the process was tense and lengthy because they had to avoid harming the child, so her hand had to be extra steady, each cut had to be made with great caution.

More than two hours later.

The tumor was finally excised and removed.

Because the cuts were made so steadily and precisely, the damage was smaller than expected, and the blood loss was not too much, which was fortunate amidst the misfortune.

As long as proper post-operative care was taken to prevent infection, Mrs. Xu would be safe.

Mrs. Xu was wheeled out, and Ye Chuyi also took off her gloves and mask, breathing a slight sigh of relief.

She looked down at her hands, which, after more than two hours of intense work, were still steady, showing no signs of trembling.

She was fortunate to have such hands, which allowed her to save so many lives.

She changed her clothes, left the operating room, and returned to her office.

After sitting down in her chair, she then remembered that she had been fired, her things had been moved out, and this was no longer her office.

Ye Chuyi shook her head slightly, stood up to leave when her assistant rushed in excitedly, “Doctor Anxin, the chairman has issued an announcement. He has apologized to you!”

Ye Chuyi wasn’t surprised, “Hmm, good.”

Seeing her lukewarm reaction, the assistant couldn’t help but ask her, “Doctor Anxin, aren’t you happy that the chairman has apologized to you?”

“What’s there to be happy about? It was his mistake to begin with, apologizing is only right. I didn’t need to leave the hospital at all, and these several days of work were needlessly delayed.”

“That… seems about right.”

There was a knock at the door.

The assistant hurried to open it, and upon doing so, she was startled, “Director Xu?”noveldrama

Xu Bingwen looked somewhat uncomfortable, “Is Doctor Anxin here?”

“Yes, yes, please come in.”

The assistant let him in and then tactfully left.

When Ye Chuyi saw Xu Bingwen arrive, she didn’t stand up but remained seated in her chair, “Is there anything else, Director Xu?”

“I’ve come to thank you.”

“Your wife has already thanked me.”

Ye Chuyi spoke flatly, “If there’s nothing else, Director Xu, please leave. Your wife needs you more.”

Chapter 263: It Was Her Idea Xu Bingwen was somewhat short of breath in front of her, “My in-laws are with my wife, and I’ve already been reprimanded by them. They insisted that I must come to thank you.”

Ye Chuyi looked at him expressionlessly.

It seemed that Xu Bingwen’s Yue Family was also very powerful, perhaps no less powerful than the Xu Family, otherwise Xu Bingwen wouldn’t be so obedient to his parents-in-law.

“You don’t need to thank me. This surgery has nothing to do with you. If it were just you, I wouldn’t have helped out.”

This kind of high-risk surgery not only involved extreme risks for the pregnant woman herself but also for the doctor. Should the surgery fail, it could mean the loss of two lives, one big and one small, a responsibility no one would want to carry.

The entire hospital’s experts and directors had strongly recommended that Mrs. Xu terminate the pregnancy to save her life.

Ye Chuyi took the risk and performed the surgery because her teacher had approved, and also for the sake of Xu Qiong’s feelings.

Xu Bingwen, seeing that she was still very cold to him, knew he had offended her greatly this time.

Indeed, she had helped his wife, and not only had he not been grateful, but he also fired her and accused her of poor character and lacking medical ethics.

It made sense that she was angry.

Xu Bingwen, feeling too ashamed to stay in her office any longer, quickly left after expressing his thanks.

He returned to the ward to be with his wife through her critical period.

Three days later, when her condition stabilized, he called his secretary to his office.

Xia Chan was dressed in professional attire, her pretty face lightly made up, her long hair tied back, giving her a fresh, pleasing, and professional appearance.

Her resignation was still being processed, and she hadn’t finished handing over her work, so she was still working for Xu Bingwen.

Xu Bingwen, looking at her, couldn’t imagine that such a bright and capable girl would go to the ward to upset his pregnant wife.

His face no longer held the usual geniality towards her, “You nearly killed my wife and child. To think that I employed you for a year, not knowing you were such a malicious woman!”

Xia Chan’s face turned pale, “Director Xu, I didn’t intend to harm your wife and child. I was there to apologize to your wife that day, and I didn’t expect that it would cause her such distress.”

“Why were you carrying a photo with you when you went to apologize to her? And moreover, a doctored photo of you and me together?”

“What doctored photo? Director Xu, what are you talking about?”

“You deliberately created a photo of me holding you, and you intentionally dropped it in front of my wife to upset her!”

“No, I didn’t!”

Xia Chan shook her head frantically, quickly took out her wallet, and removed a photo, almost crying, “Director Xu, is this the photo you’re talking about? I accidentally dropped it when I went to apologize to Mrs. Xu.”

Xu Bingwen took it and saw that it was indeed a man holding Xia Chan, but the man was not him, merely somewhat similar.

“Director Xu, the man in the photo is my ex-boyfriend. He has… he has passed away.”

Xia Chan’s tears fell, “This is the only photo I have with him, so I’ve always carried it with me, looking at it every day. It was an accident that it fell that day; I didn’t expect your wife would misunderstand. I’m sorry, it’s all my fault.”

Xu Bingwen was taken aback. Could it be that he had misunderstood her?

But regardless of whether there had been a misunderstanding, he could not keep this secretary any longer. He had always thought his wife too sensitive and prone to overthinking, and since he believed he had done nothing to wrong her, he hadn’t taken her requests seriously.

But his wife had almost had a miscarriage twice, and both times the secretary was somehow involved.

He was definitely not pleased about it.

“The two years’ worth of additional salary I promised you, forget it. You are being fired for gross misconduct, and you won’t receive any compensation! From now on, you’re no longer my employee, there’s no need to hand over your work, just leave immediately!”

Xia Chan’s face became even whiter, “Director Xu…”

“Get out!”

“Director Xu, please don’t rush to send me away. There’s actually a reason I went to apologize to Mrs. Xu!”noveldrama

“What reason?”

“That day, weren’t you meeting with a Miss Wen Nianyou in the office? It was her idea for me to see Mrs. Xu!”

“What?!”

Chapter 264: Why Did President Sheng Bring People to Stop Me? Xia Chan appeared earnest, “Director Xu, it’s true, I didn’t deceive you! Before she entered your office, she told me she was your friend and said that if I wanted to continue working by your side, the best way would be to appeal to your wife. I really had no other choice and was desperately seeking help, so I took her word for it and went to plead with your wife.”

Xu Bingwen clenched his fists, his expression darkening ominously, “So it was her stirring up trouble behind the scenes! It wasn’t enough for her to harm Wan Qing once; she even plotted to harm her a second time!”

“Director Xu, isn’t she your friend? Why would she harm your wife?”

“I don’t have that kind of friend; she’s nothing but a scammer! Next time, no matter what she tells you, just ignore her!”

“Yes, Director Xu.”

“Haven’t you left yet?”

Xia Chan knew he was in an extremely bad mood and didn’t dare to linger, so she reluctantly left his office.

Not long after she left, Xu Bingwen received a call from Wen Nianyou.

Looking at the number, his rage flared instantly. This scammer still had the audacity to call him—did she really think he wouldn’t catch on to her carefully laid trap?

As if he had wasted his years in the business world!

He struggled to contain his anger, and once he had somewhat steadied his emotions, he answered the call, “Miss Wen.”

“President Xu, how have you been lately? Is your wife well? She hasn’t had any more pregnancy complications, has she?”

“She’s doing well. Miss Wen, you seem quite concerned about my wife. Would you like to meet her?”

“There’s no need for that. Knowing she’s well is enough for me.”

Xu Bingwen was grinding his teeth with hatred towards her and at the same time was internally berating himself for being stupid. It was clear that Wen Nianyou didn’t dare to see his wife, obviously something was amiss, but he hadn’t picked up on it! He had given her such a big opening, causing him to wrong the person who had actually saved his wife!

“Miss Wen, I said I’d treat you to a meal last time, and we still haven’t done that. How about we have dinner together tonight, all of us?”

“Who are ‘all of us’ that President Xu is referring to?”

“Me, my wife, you, and that friend of yours who’s checked into our hospital.”

“Isn’t your wife supposed to be resting? Better not to bother her. How about just the three of us go for dinner?”

Xu Bingwen knew she was afraid that meeting his wife would give her away, which is why she was finding all sorts of excuses to avoid meeting her.

He snorted inwardly but said aloud, “Sure, no problem. See you tonight.”

That evening, Xu Bingwen drove to the agreed-upon restaurant.

Unexpectedly, just as he got out of his car in the parking lot, he was blocked by someone.

“Xu Bingwen?”

The man’s voice was deep and indifferent, flanked by two bodyguards, exuding a powerful and oppressive aura.

Xu Bingwen, looking at his excessively handsome face, hesitated before responding, “Yes, that’s me. And you are… President Sheng?”

Sheng Tingyuan nodded indifferently, “My surname is Sheng.”

It really was him!

“Why has President Sheng brought people to block my way?”

“Did you fire Doctor Anxin?”

Xu Bingwen was astonished, “How did you know?”

“She is my wife.”

Xu Bingwen’s eyes widened in shock, “What?! She… ”noveldrama

“Xu Qiong is also somewhat renowned in the business world; he’s been praised for his character and intellect. How could he raise a son like you, lacking in talent and virtue? You fired the most famous and skilled doctor, and labeled her as lacking medical ethics. Are you trying to kill her?”

Xu Bingwen was sweating profusely out of guilt, “President Sheng, I indeed made a mistake regarding this matter. I had misunderstood Doctor Anxin, and I have already apologized to her.”

“Misunderstood? With just one word, you want to absolve yourself?”

“No, I’m not trying to absolve myself. It’s like this—half a month ago, someone hit my wife, almost causing a miscarriage. A woman surnamed Wen told me it was Doctor Anxin who hit her. In an attempt to stand up for my wife, that’s why I thought of firing her.”

Xu Bingwen couldn’t have imagined that Doctor Anxin’s husband would turn out to be the CEO of Shengshi Group, Sheng Tingyuan!

He could only summarize the events briefly, hoping to temper Sheng Tingyuan’s anger, “I only found out today that it wasn’t Doctor Anxin who hit my wife, but that woman surnamed Wen. On the contrary, it was Doctor Anxin who saved my wife at the time.”

 

Chapter 265: I Don’t Mind Letting the Dome Go Bankrupt and Disappear Little did he know, after his explanation, the expression on Sheng Tingyuan’s face across from him grew even colder.

“So, Doctor Anxin saved your wife, and you repay her kindness with ingratitude, firing her and sullying her reputation? Is this the type of conduct the Xu Family condones?”

“No, it’s not like that…”

“Are you saying you find the Xu Family’s life too peaceful and were looking for some excitement?”

“No no no, President Sheng, I know I was wrong! I apologize to Doctor Anxin! I came here today to deal with that woman surnamed Wen; she deliberately misled me!”

Xu Bingwen, having heard of and feared Sheng Tingyuan’s methods, frantically apologized, afraid of retribution against the Xu Family.

The person before him was ruthless enough to even trample his own father to death!

More so, it was rumored that he’d beaten his half-brother so badly that Sheng Tianxing couldn’t even treat a woman properly and has had no girlfriend to this day, as he was utterly powerless when facing women!

“So, you bully her just because she’s a mere doctor, blindly ruining her reputation and her medical career?”

“I’m wrong, President Sheng, I truly am. I will compensate Doctor Anxin, rest assured, I won’t let her suffer! Plus, just a few days ago, she performed a very difficult surgery for my wife and helped us save our child; she is now the benefactor of our entire family!”

The look on Sheng Tingyuan’s face was still very cold.

He wasn’t aware that Ye Chuyi had also performed surgery on Xu Bingwen’s wife.

Fired and falsely accused, yet she could be so magnanimous – he admired that, but he didn’t agree with it at all!

Living in the world, there’s no need to repay evil with kindness. Anyone who bullies you deserves a counter-attack!

“This so-called compensation of yours had better be sincere; otherwise, I wouldn’t mind seeing Dome go bankrupt and vanish.”

“Yes, yes, the sincerity will definitely be enough!”noveldrama

Sheng Tingyuan no longer paid him any attention and walked into the restaurant with his bodyguards.

Xu Bingwen wiped the sweat from his forehead, showing a bitter smile. Doctor Anxin was too low-profile; she had actually married the heir of the number one wealthy family, Sheng Tingyuan, yet she hadn’t mentioned a word about it!

That’s right, he’d seen the contract she signed with the hospital and clearly remembered Doctor Anxin’s real name was from the Ye Family.

The outside world had always rumored that Sheng Tingyuan’s wife was the daughter of the Ye Family. Could it be that Doctor Anxin was actually the cherished daughter of the Ye Family?

Xu Bingwen felt a wave of fear.

If these two families wanted to crush him, it would be as easy as squashing an ant. He dared to say he would blacklist Ye Chuyi!

Fortunately, his wife and Ye Chuyi got along well; otherwise, his actions might have dragged down the entire Xu Family this time!

While fearful, Xu Bingwen’s hatred for Wen Nianyou, whom had deceived him, grew even stronger!

He clenched his fists and strode into the restaurant, determined to teach Wen Nianyou a lesson tonight!

However, as soon as he entered the lobby, he was stopped by someone.

And this time, the person blocking him was someone he knew – the CEO of Jungle Pharmaceutical, Cong Ningyuan.

Forcing a smile, he said, “President Cong? Are you dining here tonight too?”

Cong Ningyuan sneered, “President Xu seems to have gotten quite bold lately!”

Xu Bingwen was a bit perplexed; he had known Cong Ningyuan for a long time, and Cong Ningyuan was someone who always greeted people with a smile, was very good-tempered, and extremely well-liked.

Why was he being so sarcastic today?

“President Cong, have I offended you?”

“Don’t you know who you’ve offended?”

Cong Ningyuan had finally caught up with him and vented out his pent-up anger, “I heard that as soon as you took over Dome Hospital, you immediately fired Doctor Anxin? She works tirelessly performing surgeries every day, without a single holiday all year, giving so much. Even if she deserves no credit, she deserves empathy, and yet you say fire her just like that, utterly devoid of humanity! We, Jungle, will no longer cooperate with hospitals as inhumane as yours!”

The smile Xu Bingwen had forced out instantly froze on his face.

What was happening? It was bad enough Sheng Tingyuan stood up for Doctor Anxin, now why had Cong Ningyuan suddenly appeared too?

It was natural for Sheng Tingyuan, Doctor Anxin’s husband, to seek him out, but what about Cong Ningyuan?

Chapter 266: I Listen to Her The hall bustled with people coming and going, all of whom were looking this way, even Sheng Tingyuan, who had arrived earlier, was watching.

Xu Bingwen couldn’t afford to lose face, so he quickly pulled Cong Ningyuan out.

He kept apologizing, “It was wrong of me to fire Doctor Anxin, but Mr. Cong, please don’t stop your hospital cooperation with us because of this! You previously refused to supply our hospital with medicine; could it be because of this matter?”

“Otherwise, what could it be because of?”

Xu Bingwen was shocked, “Is it really because of Doctor Anxin?”

Cong Ningyuan’s face remained cold, “What exactly compelled you to do that? Did she do anything to wrong you? It was bad enough to fire her, but you even tried to pin a label of bad character on her—are you of good character? I think you’re blind!”

Xu Bingwen had known him for quite some time and had never seen him so furious before.

He hurriedly said, “It’s all a misunderstanding, Doctor Anxin didn’t do anything to wrong me, on the contrary, she is my benefactor. To speak of shame, I was deceived by a woman with the surname Wen, which led to the misunderstanding…”

Cong Ningyuan frowned, “A woman surnamed Wen? Could it be Wen Nianyou again?”

“Mr. Cong, you know her?”

“Not exactly, I’ve just heard Doctor Anxin mention her before. She’s been constantly tripping up Doctor Anxin. How did she come to target you?”noveldrama

“She didn’t target me. One day, she almost caused my wife to have a miscarriage. It was Doctor Anxin who saved my wife, but the woman with the surname Wen told me she saved my wife and that it was Doctor Anxin who caused the accident, leading to my misunderstanding.”

He had already explained the situation once to Sheng Tingyuan, and now he was forced to explain it again to Cong Ningyuan.

Each time he explained, Xu Bingwen felt increasingly foolish.

Played by a woman and having wronged a good person, he feared he might no longer be able to mix in this circle in the future.

“Mr. Cong, I’ve already apologized to Doctor Anxin, the hospital has issued a public notice, and Doctor Anxin has been rehired. Moreover, my father has returned to the position of chairman at Dome, and I’ve been dismissed by him.”

Xu Bingwen said, steeling himself, “The fault is all mine, but the Dome is my father’s many years of hard work, so I ask you to forgive me this once and not cease cooperation with Dome.”

What it meant for Jungle Pharmaceutical to cut off medicine supply to Dome, no one understood better than he did.

The Dome couldn’t afford to lose a cooperation opportunity with such a large pharmaceutical enterprise because of his mistake, or it would soon be overtaken by other hospitals.

“Indeed, it is your fault, but whether or not we’ll cooperate with Dome in the future is not up to whether I forgive you, but to Doctor Anxin—I listen to her,” Cong Ningyuan stated.

Xu Bingwen couldn’t have imagined he would say that.

The esteemed President of Jungle Pharmaceutical, who so many people tried to ingratiate themselves with to no avail, and whom major hospitals treated as the most honored guest, was claiming he listened to Doctor Anxin? And he said it as though it was a matter of course!

If it wasn’t for Sheng Tingyuan already having claimed to be Doctor Anxin’s husband, Xu Bingwen might have even thought that Cong Ningyuan was Doctor Anxin’s husband, and one who was strictly under his wife’s thumb at that.

He couldn’t help but ask Cong Ningyuan, “May I ask what is your relationship with Doctor Anxin? Why do you listen to her? Did she save your life?”

“No, but she is my benefactor. Without her, I wouldn’t have everything I have now. Anyway, before you try to make things difficult for her next time, weigh your options carefully. Don’t think you can bully her freely because she seems to have no backers.”

Xu Bingwen forced a wry smile, “I don’t dare to bully her anymore. Before you stopped me, President Sheng had already intervened. He warned me that if the compensation for Doctor Anxin wasn’t substantial enough, he would let Dome go bankrupt and shut down.”

This time, Cong Ningyuan remained silent for a long time.

Only after a good while did he let out a soft sigh, “He and Doctor Anxin are husband and wife. Since you dared to fire his wife, he naturally wouldn’t be happy. Bankrupting Dome would be letting you off easy.”

Having said that, he turned around and walked back into the hall.

Xu Bingwen also walked in, head bowed.

The banquet hall was resplendent and opulent, exuding grandeur and luxury. Right in the center, an elderly matriarch with white hair was seated, apparently having arrived at some point.

Standing beside the old lady was the owner of the restaurant, Xue Hong.

Seeing Xu Bingwen come in, Xue Hong bowed and said to the old lady, “Mother, he’s here.”

Chapter 267: Almost Killed by Her! The old lady stood up and walked over to Xu Bingwen, asking, “Are you the new chairman of Dome Hospital, Xu Bingwen?”

Xu Bingwen looked at Xue Hong, then at the dignified old lady, and felt a sense of foreboding, “I am, but—”

Before he could finish, the old lady interrupted him, “Our restaurant does not serve ungrateful wolves like you, get out!”

Xu Bingwen was somewhat stunned; he couldn’t help but turn to Xue Hong, “Mr. Xue, what’s going on?”

Xue Hong, being a businessman, still spoke with some courtesy, “Mr. Xu, I’m sorry, but from now on, you will not be allowed to eat or stay in any restaurant or hotel under the Xue Family name.”

“Why?”

“Because my mother was sick before, and your hospital’s Doctor Anxin performed the surgery on her, my mother has always wanted to repay her, but she refused everything, and all the gifts we sent were returned. My mother said that Doctor Anxin is the best doctor she has ever seen, and there are no issues with her medical ethics as your hospital claimed. Firing her means you have a feud with the Xue Family; our family’s restaurants and hotels will not allow you to enter.”

Doctor Anxin again?

Xu Bingwen’s head was about to explode; he was now like a mute swallowing bitterness, incapable of voicing his despair. He had never anticipated that firing Doctor Anxin would lead to endless troubles, with such severe consequences!

Fortunately, his father had personally brought her back to the hospital afterward.

He lifted his head, looking around, noticing that everyone in the restaurant had stopped eating and was staring at him, their expressions filled with curiosity.

It seemed that he had to explain.

The last time he had felt such tension and pressure was on his wedding day.

He raised his voice so that everyone could hear, “Mr. Xue, Madam, firing Doctor Anxin was a misunderstanding, I misjudged her. I have reflected on my mistake and have sincerely apologized to Doctor Anxin. You may not know, but the chairman of Dome Hospital is still my father, and I have completely withdrawn from Dome; no one will fire Doctor Anxin anymore.”

The result was that the old lady was not buying it at all, still cold-faced, “So, it was an misunderstanding with Doctor Anxin. I knew it, she couldn’t possibly be as you claimed, lacking in medical morality. But, does misunderstanding her allow you to fire her at will? Why didn’t you investigate thoroughly? Get out, we do not welcome you here!”

Embarrassment washed over Xu Bingwen’s face; he had never been publicly humiliated and driven out like this before.

All because of Wen Nianyou’s wonderful doing!

She was practically killing him!

Xu Bingwen, feeling utterly mortified, couldn’t bear to stay any longer and quickly left the hall, heading back to the parking lot.

Just as he was about to get into his car, he heard someone call out to him, “Mr. Xu!”

He looked up and saw it was the instigator herself, Wen Nianyou!

She stepped down from a sports car, holding on to the arm of a young man, heading towards him.

If murder were not illegal, Xu Bingwen felt he might go up and stab this woman twice, taking care of her first and talking later.noveldrama

That this woman was still alive was thanks to the protection of the law!

“Mr. Xu, this is my fiancé, his name is Qi Yunfan. The lady who was admitted to your hospital for surgery, she is his mother, and my future mother-in-law. Although she didn’t have the surgery at your hospital in the end, Yunfan and I are still very grateful to you,” Wen Nianyou said, her face blooming with a tender smile, her voice soft, giving one a pleasant feeling like basking in the spring breeze.

Because she always spoke so softly and gently, Xu Bingwen had always thought she was the kind of pure and kindhearted girl, always willing to help others. He never imagined she could deceive him, and so utterly at that!

There is no use cursing at such a woman, and it wouldn’t be satisfying enough either.

Xu Bingwen himself was no saint, and after suffering such a loss, alongside his wife, if he didn’t utterly destroy her, he wouldn’t bear the Xu surname!

He put on a hypocritical smile, “No need to thank me, Miss Wen, it was just a gesture of assistance, after all, you saved my wife, and it’s only natural for me to repay you. Mr. Qi, you’re quite discerning to have found such a kind and good girl.”

Chapter 268 Wen Nianyou Is Trapped Qi Yunfan, listening to the tone of his speech, inexplicably felt that this person was not complimenting him, nor was he complimenting Wen Nianyou.

But since the other was speaking with a smile, it seemed a bit too much to pick out faults.

All he could do was to respond with a smile, “Youyou is truly kind-hearted. I still need to thank President Xu for my mother’s issue.”

“No need to thank me, I didn’t help much, did I? I heard your mother was transferred to Central Hospital? How is she? Has she had the surgery?”

“She was transferred to Central Hospital. There’s an old classmate of my dad there, specializing in tumors. The surgery is already done, and she’s currently in recovery.”

“What surgery was it? Did they remove her left lung?”

“Ah, yes, the doctor said the tumor had grown into the lung tissue, making it impossible to peel away, so they had to remove it all. It’s a pity Doctor Anxin wasn’t willing to operate on my mom, otherwise she could have kept her lung.”

Xu Bingwen had also originally thought that Ye Chuyi deliberately refused to save Qi Yunfan’s mother’s lung, but now he knew that lung truly couldn’t be saved.

Seeing the mood was a bit off, Wen Nianyou hurriedly said, “Hey, let’s not stand in the parking lot and chat. Let’s go in and we can talk while eating.”

Xu Bingwen didn’t move. “I just went in, but the restaurant owner chased me out.”

“What?!”

Wen Nianyou was shocked, “Why is that?”

“Because Doctor Anxin performed surgery on the restaurant owner’s mother, and since I fired Doctor Anxin, they banned me from dining there.”noveldrama

Wen Nianyou and Qi Yunfan were both stunned. They hadn’t expected Ye Chuyi to have such a wide network! They simply didn’t know this before, as they always thought Ye Chuyi was only a nursing student who had yet to even qualify as a nurse and could only clean for others.

Especially Qi Yunfan, his brows furrowed involuntarily.

If he had known Ye Chuyi was Doctor Anxin, he would have never broken up with her, let alone been together with Wen Nianyou.

If Doctor Anxin were his girlfriend, Qi Hospital would never have gone bankrupt. On the contrary, the hospital would have gained tremendous fame because of Doctor Anxin, and he might have been very comfortable just counting money!

He could no longer remember how many times he had regretted this.

If there were a pill for regret in this world, he might need to swallow a large handful.

He turned and looked at Wen Nianyou’s bland and uninspiring face, recalling the times she had tricked him, and felt utterly disheartened.

Had it not been for her claiming to be good friends with Dome’s chairman, he would never have bothered with her again!

But at this moment, it seemed Xu Bingwen had also suffered badly because of her, as Qi Yunfan knew, Xu Bingwen’s firing of Ye Chuyi was orchestrated by Wen Nianyou.

“Ah, I didn’t expect she even had the restaurant owner in her pocket!”

With a sigh, Wen Nianyou said, “President Xu, let’s go to another restaurant then! By the way, you promised before to let my boyfriend’s hospital’s doctors come observe and learn, when would that be convenient?”

Xu Bingwen looked at her strangely, “When did I promise that?”

Wen Nianyou’s expression stiffened, “President Xu, it was when I went to see you at Dome, you promised me in person! Have you been too busy recently and forgotten about it?”

“Miss Wen, you’ve got me completely confused. When did I agree to something like that? Our hospital has never been open to outside observation and learning, it’s a privilege only for people within the hospital.”

Wen Nianyou became anxious, “President Xu, why are you not acknowledging it? You clearly promised!”

Xu Bingwen shook his head and looked towards Qi Yunfan, “I really never promised her, it’s possible Miss Wen has remembered wrong.”

Qi Yunfan’s expression turned cold, “Wen Nianyou, you’ve lied to me again! How many times are you going to deceive me? Every time you speak so convincingly, and yet it always turns out to be false!”

Wen Nianyou was so angry she almost stamped her foot, but she still had to maintain her gentle demeanor, “No, Brother Yunfan, I really didn’t lie to you this time, he truly did promise me! Otherwise, how could I dare to bring you here to confront him? Wouldn’t I be exposed right away? How could I possibly do such a thing!”

 

Chapter 269: Is President Xu not deceiving me? Qi Yunfan’s rage erupted almost instantly, “Haven’t you done enough of this kind of things? You clearly don’t know Doctor Anxin, yet you brazenly told me you were Doctor Anxin’s lifesaver, saying you could get her to consult at our hospital, but instead, you led to our family hospital going bankrupt and shutting down!”

“You knew that your family’s building had already been sold, but you promised me in no uncertain terms that the building was your dowry. I had it renovated halfway and then the real owner reported it to the police! Thanks to you, for the first time in my life, I was handcuffed and taken into the station!”

“It’s my own stupidity to have believed you time and time again! I’ve never met anyone who can lie better than you!”

Having said this, Qi Yunfan turned to Xu Bingwen, “Mr. Xu, I’ll pass on dinner tonight. You should be extra cautious; this woman is the biggest liar. Don’t believe anything she says!”

He then turned and left, hopping into his sports car and speeding away, not caring about Wen Nianyou at all.

Wen Nianyou couldn’t care less about Qi Yunfan either, as she turned her teary eyes towards Xu Bingwen, “Mr. Xu, why won’t you admit that you promised me? Are you trying to make me break up with my boyfriend?”

Make her break up with her boyfriend?

Xu Bingwen sneered inwardly; this was only the beginning, there would be many more things to come to harm her!

“I never promised you anything, Miss Wen. You say I want to harm you, but what are you even talking about? You saved my wife, I’m overwhelmed with gratitude, how would I even think of harming you?”

Wen Nianyou, seeing him looking genuinely sincere, started to doubt herself. Had she not made things clear to Xu Bingwen that day? Or had he truly forgotten?

Perhaps, with his wife almost having a miscarriage, he wasn’t fully present during their conversation, maybe he had no idea what they had discussed.

“Miss Wen, your boyfriend just said that you’re quite the liar. Is that true? Have you lied to me?”

“He was just speaking in anger, why would Mr. Xu believe that? How could I ever deceive Mr. Xu? I have no grievances with Mr. Xu, if anything, I’ve helped your wife before!”

“Yes, you’re right, Miss Wen. I just saw that your boyfriend seemed very angry just now, and I thought maybe you had lied to him before, which is why he’s so furious.”

Wen Nianyou’s smile was a bit unnatural. “We did have a small misunderstanding before, but it will be all right once I explain it to him.”

“Miss Wen, though we can’t have dinner tonight, I still want to thank you for saving my wife. I wonder if there’s any way I can help you, if so, please let me know, so I can make up for tonight’s setback.”

“Is this how you plan to thank me, Mr. Xu?”

“Of course, I must thank you. You have no idea how much you’ve helped me; I truly appreciate it.”

“Since Mr. Xu insists on thanking me, it seems rather rude to refuse.”

Wen Nianyou, appearing somewhat coerced, “I recently started a medical company and want to cooperate with Jungle Pharmaceutical, to get some special medicines from them at low prices. Do you have any good suggestions, Mr. Xu?”noveldrama

Xu Bingwen thought this woman was utterly greedy and shameless; even Dome had to pay a high price for medicines from Jungle because the development cost of those special medicines was very high. They needed to maintain operations and naturally had to sell at high prices, otherwise, they would be bankrupt in minutes.

Wen Nianyou actually hoped to get medicines at a low price. Was she dreaming?

He laughed, “That’s easy. I am good friends with the boss of Jungle. No matter what medicine you want, I can guarantee to get it for you at the lowest price.”

Wen Nianyou was overjoyed, “Really? You’re not lying to me, are you, Mr. Xu?”

“I’m not lying. I’ll pass your contact information to Jungle later. They’ll assign a specialized pharmaceutical salesperson to liaise with you. Just say that I referred you, and you’ll naturally be able to get the medicines at a low price.”

Wen Nianyou was somewhat excited; her medical company could finally start operations!

She had already calculated that by acquiring medicines from Jungle at low prices and selling them to hospitals at high prices, she could earn at least twenty or thirty million a month! That’s two to three hundred million a year!

She was going to make a fortune!

“Then I’ll have to thank Mr. Xu. Please pass my contact information to Jungle as soon as possible!”

“I will.”

Chapter 270: Not Telling Me, But Telling Cong Ningyuan Ye Chuyi had been working non-stop for three days.

Because she had been fired by Xu Bingwen before, she hadn’t been able to perform any surgeries for several days and had to work overtime these past few days to complete the surgeries she owed.

Today, when she got home, it was nearly midnight.

As soon as she entered, she saw Sheng Tingyuan as usual, working in the living room while waiting for her.noveldrama

However, his expression today seemed different from the previous days, and he appeared to be in a bad mood.

Ye Chuyi found it strange, “What’s wrong, did someone upset you?”

“No.”

Sheng Tingyuan responded indifferently, set down the documents he was holding, stood up, walked over to her, took her bag and placed it on the cabinet, and then took her hand and led her toward the dining room.

“Are you hungry, I asked Auntie Wang to make you a late-night snack.”

Ye Chuyi had gotten used to him holding her hand lately and didn’t struggle like before, “Hungry.” Very hungry, doing surgeries really takes a lot of energy.

Upon entering the dining room, food was already laid out on the table.

Auntie Wang came in, placed a bowl of fish maw and red date chicken soup in front of her, “Madam, please drink it while it’s hot. You’ve been working too hard lately; you should nourish your body.”

“Okay, thank you, Auntie Wang.”

Auntie Wang said “You’re welcome,” then tactfully excused herself from the dining room and left for the day.

Ye Chuyi took a sip of the chicken soup and was healed by the rich and savory taste, feeling most of the day’s fatigue disappear.

In addition to the chicken soup, there were her favorite fried meatballs on the table.

There were many meatballs today. Ye Chuyi picked one up for Sheng Tingyuan first, “This first one is for President Sheng. Will your mood improve a bit if you eat this?”

Sheng Tingyuan, observing the redness in her eyes, pushed the meatballs directly in front of her, “Don’t worry about me, just eat, and go rest early after you’re finished.”

Ye Chuyi didn’t stand on ceremony with him and quickly began to eat.

However, she didn’t dare to eat too much, since it was already late at night; she stopped after eating just enough to fill her six-tenths full.

After the late-night snack, she went to the bathroom to wash up.

When she came out of the bathroom, she saw that Sheng Tingyuan was still sitting in the living room.

She went downstairs and approached him, “What exactly happened, why haven’t you gone to sleep yet? Is there anything I can help with?”

Sheng Tingyuan looked up at her for a while, then took her hand, pulled her with a strong tug, and directly dragged her into his arms.

Ye Chuyi let out an exclamation, instinctively wanting to escape, but Sheng Tingyuan wrapped his arms around her waist, pressed her onto his lap, and wouldn’t let her get up.

Ye Chuyi was annoyed, “I’m kindly concerned about you, why on earth are you playing dirty and taking advantage of me?”

“I’m your husband; it’s not taking advantage. Have you forgotten our relationship, only considering this place a hotel?”

Ye Chuyi was speechless, staring at him for a long time without being able to say a word.

She indeed treated his villa like a five-star hotel, and this five-star hotel even had a star-rated chef; her biggest motivation to come home each day was the delicious food made by Auntie Wang.

As for Sheng Tingyuan himself, she tended to ignore him.

“Why didn’t you tell me when something happened at your hospital?”

“What happened at the hospital?”

“Your dismissal.”

“Oh, that. It’s not a big deal, so I didn’t mention it.”

“You didn’t tell me, but you told Cong Ningyuan?”

Ye Chuyi was taken aback, looking at him somewhat surprised, “Is your bad mood tonight because of this?”

Sheng Tingyuan didn’t speak.

Ye Chuyi knew he was acknowledging it and shook her head helplessly, “I thought something happened. When I came back, I saw your serious face, and anyone who didn’t know better would think I owed you money.”

“I wish you would owe me money.”

It’s not just about owing money; she didn’t even want to owe him any favors.

Something big had happened at Dome, and since her return, she hadn’t mentioned a single word about it.

If he hadn’t seen the news today and came across Doctor Anxin’s dismissal by chance, he would still be in the dark, clueless that Xu Bingwen dared to use her as a scapegoat!

He held her, and his nose was filled with the light and pleasant fragrance of her body, feeling the warmth of her skin through the thin silk pajamas around her waist.

She was in his arms, yet he felt he was very, very far away from her.

This gave him an indescribable sense of anxiety.
