Divine Doctor and His CEO Wife-Chapter 38 Who do you think you are!

This guy actually hit the distinguished guest Lu Wushuang was going to receive personally? He’s absolutely finished.

Zhang Yaoyang, who had been momentarily stunned, suddenly felt a surge of triumphant adrenaline. So *I’m* the one President Lu came to welcome? No wonder Wushuang Corporation suddenly sent me an invitation. It turns out President Lu prepared this surprise especially for me. How thoughtful!

He spat on the ground and said fiercely, "Get everyone over here! Today, I want this bastard carried out of Jingtian Club horizontally!"

Seeing the situation escalating, Luo Qingli grew anxious and pleaded in a low voice, "Senior... how about we just let this matter go?"

"Let it go?" Zhang Yaoyang nearly coughed up blood. "A few of my teeth were knocked out, and you want me to just let it go? What kind of a joke is that?"

He fumed, "Qingli! Look at my face, it’s practically disfigured! And you’re still asking me to let it go? Do you really think he’s more important to you than I am? You’ve only known him for a few days! Does knowing him for a few days mean more than our friendship of so many years?"

His heart was bleeding.

Luo Qingli was at a loss for words. Chen Xiao was her husband, and they had even been intimate. How could Zhang Yaoyang, a mere friend, possibly compare? Of course, she couldn’t say any of this out loud.

Seeing this, Gao Xiong snapped his fingers at the security personnel maintaining order. "Call for backup!"

Until Lu Wushuang arrived, Zhang Yaoyang’s word was law. Whatever he said, Gao Xiong would do.

Chen Xiao said coldly, "I’d advise you to find out who I am before you try to throw me out."

"I don’t care who you are! Mr. Zhang is our boss’s distinguished guest! If you dare lay a hand on him here, you’re asking to die!" Gao Xiong shouted coldly.

Chen Xiao let out a cold chuckle. "The distinguished guest Lu Wushuang is here to welcome is me. You’d better not mistake your master."

Gao Xiong sneered, "Take a good look at yourself. Do you really think a bumpkin like you belongs in the same world as President Lu?"

Besides, Lu Wushuang had specifically mentioned that the distinguished guest would arrive with Luo Qingli. That had to be Zhang Yaoyang, no doubt about it. Moreover, with Zhang Yaoyang’s status, he certainly deserved such formal treatment from Lu Wushuang! As for Chen Xiao, this plain-looking country bumpkin... what was he even?

Zhang Yaoyang also sneered with contempt. "You should take a good look at what you are, acting like you’re so close to President Lu. Do you think you’re me? A piece of trash like you? I could have someone throw you in the river to drown, and you wouldn’t even know what hit you. Got it?"

THUD. THUD. THUD. A chaotic clamor of footsteps rushed in from all directions. More and more people gathered until hundreds of men, all holding weapons like stun batons and iron rods, charged in aggressively. The intimidating display sent the surrounding crowd scattering.

"Seize him! Hand him over to Mr. Zhang to deal with!" Gao Xiong commanded with a wave of his hand.

"Stop!" Luo Qingli suddenly shouted, stepping in front of Chen Xiao. Biting her lip, she said, "Senior, please, let him go."

Zhang Yaoyang’s eyes widened, and his voice grew hoarse. "Qingli, are you insane? I got beaten up like this defending you, and now you’re telling me to let him go?"

Gao Xiong interjected, "Miss Luo, isn’t it? I have some good news for you. That one-billion-dollar project from Wushuang Corporation... our President Lu has decided to give it to you!"

"What?" Luo Qingli’s eyes widened in shock.

Gao Xiong’s tone turned icy. "The second piece of news is... this project is a gift to you from Mr. Zhang! The final decision still rests in his hands! So, are you sure you still want to stand in front of this man?"

Standing next to Zhang Yaoyang like a proper lackey, he sneered, "Miss Luo, even a dog knows who its master is, right?"

Luo Qingli’s head was buzzing. She never expected Zhang Yaoyang to have already secured the one-billion-dollar project for her. The news was a complete shock.

Zhang Yaoyang was also stunned. He hadn’t expected Lu Wushuang to have prepared so many surprises for him!

His confidence soaring, he declared, "Qingli, come back to my side right now, and I’ll still give you this project. Otherwise, you’ll never get a deal like this from Wushuang Corporation again as long as you live. What’s more, it’s very likely you’ll be blacklisted by both Wushuang Corporation and Gaotong Group!"

His words were now an open threat.

Chen Xiao remained silent. He was curious to see what choice Luo Qingli would make. Of course, he didn’t think his place in her heart was worth one billion dollars.

Everyone present watched with great interest as the drama unfolded.

A look of conflict crossed Luo Qingli’s face. She recalled the scene where Chen Xiao had stood up for her at Zhang’s Restaurant. She remembered the moment he had disregarded his own life, rushing into a flaming office to save her... This one billion dollars was crucial for both Luo Group and the entire Luo Family. Without this injection of capital, she wouldn’t be able to hold on to her position as president! But right now... she wanted to be willful, just this once.

Taking a deep breath, Luo Qingli said calmly, "Zhang Yaoyang, today I’ll trade this one-billion-dollar project for his safe departure. What do you say?"

At her words, the entire venue fell deathly silent. No one had expected that the usually calm and astute Luo Qingli would make such a choice, picking Chen Xiao over one billion dollars!

"Love makes people do foolish things!"

"Has Luo Qingli lost her mind? The entire Luo Family is probably going to be furious with her..."

Xu Yanran was also speechless. The relationship between the Xu Family and the Luo Family was decent, and she would have been happy to see Luo Qingli secure the billion-dollar project. But to use it as a bargaining chip to let Chen Xiao leave safely?

Even Chen Xiao was stunned for a moment. Had this woman really, in a moment of rashness, chosen him over a billion dollars? Was he that important? Still, she had some conscience after all!

"Fine! Fine! Fine!" Zhang Yaoyang was livid. "Luo Qingli, you’ve got a lot of fucking nerve! You’d turn down a billion dollars sitting right in front of you just to throw yourself at this country bumpkin?"

Gao Xiong commanded coldly, "Seize that woman! And beat this kid to death!"

Hundreds of thugs formed layer upon layer of a human wall as they closed in. Seeing them approach, Luo Qingli’s delicate body trembled.

Chen Xiao’s voice was frigid, laced with an anger repressed to its breaking point. "Gao Xiong, I’ll advise you one last time. You’d better report to Lu Wushuang that my name is Chen Xiao!"

"It wouldn’t matter if your name was the King of Heaven himself!" Gao Xiong bellowed. "Get them!"

Just as the thugs were about to move, a glacial voice echoed through the entire venue. "Gao Xiong, have you grown tired of that head on your shoulders?"

Upon hearing those words, Gao Xiong’s entire body went rigid.

Lu Wushuang, radiating a chill, appeared like a queen in her black evening gown. She strode toward Gao Xiong, her gaze terrifyingly cold.

Gao Xiong began to tremble with fear. "President Lu."

Lu Wushuang stared at him coldly. "Kneel!"

THUD. Gao Xiong immediately dropped to his knees.

With his head lowered, he shivered and asked tremulously, "President Lu, what... what did I do wrong?"

"What did you do wrong?" Lu Wushuang laughed, a sound devoid of humor. This idiot still doesn’t know where he went wrong? Any discerning person could see that Chen Xiao was the guest she was truly here to welcome, couldn’t they?

Just then, Zhang Yaoyang stepped forward with an air of arrogance, interjecting to defend Gao Xiong. "President Lu, General Gao was only acting on my behalf. I hope you’ll give me some face!"

SLAP!

The sharp crack of a slap echoed through the hall. Accompanied by a scream like a slaughtered pig, Zhang Yaoyang’s body was sent flying.

Under the disbelieving gaze of everyone present, Lu Wushuang slowly withdrew her hand.

"You dare to harm my, Lu Wushuang’s, esteemed guest on my territory, and you still have the audacity to ask me for face? Who in the hell do you think you are?"
