Chapter 264 -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… ”

“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.”
