Xia Chenxing was helpless. It was not strange for the man to know her name. After all, the news of her marriage to a rooster had long spread in China. She had an idea and quickly said, “Yes, it’s me. I’m the young madam of the Li family. If you save me, the Li family will owe you a big favor!”

The corners of the man’s narrow eyes lifted, and he actually smiled. The little woman was smart enough to bring the Li family out to negotiate terms.

Xia Chenxing felt uncomfortable seeing the man’s reaction. She didn’t know what was wrong with him. Even if she was ridiculous, there was no need to laugh so happily. Couldn’t he laugh after saving her?

Xiao Qi was also stunned as he looked at Xia Chenxing in shock. Wasn’t Xia Chenxing the wife his boss had been married to for three years? What kind of fate did they have to meet in such a way… It was too magical!

At this moment, Boss Zhao, who was at the side, had already lost his patience. He ordered his men to rush over and prepare to subdue her. With a glance from Li Ruixu, Xiao Qi immediately went over and blocked them. In a few moves, he knocked down the attackers.

Li Ruixu lit another cigarette and took a drag. He narrowed his eyes and asked, “Boss Zhao, right? Do you want to continue?” His voice was cold, and it seemed to be filled with the threat of death.

Boss Zhao was also a famous figure in W City, but now he was slapped in the face in public. He glared at Li Ruixu and said, “There’s no grudge between us. This woman is my plaything. It’s not worth it to make enemies with me for a plaything. It’s better for both of us if you hand her over to me.”

“That’s really strange. Why would the dignified young madam of the Li family become your plaything?” Li Ruixu asked. His voice was raised and he was smiling, but he could instill an inexplicable fear.

Boss Zhao was a little flustered, but he still defended himself. “Who doesn’t know that the eldest young master of the Li family hasn’t appeared for three years? Isn’t it normal for this woman to look for a man to have fun?”

“Oh? Is that so…” Li Ruixu sneered. The air around him seemed to have frozen into ice shards. Suddenly, he turned around and walked in front of Boss Zhao. Before anyone could react, he grippped Boss Zhao’s fat neck and said ruthlessly,” Even if she’s looking for a man, it won’t be a piece of trash like you! ”

After saying that, the strength in his hand kept increasing. Boss Zhao was choked and he couldn’t even retort. His greasy face turned red.

Seeing such a scene, Xia Chenxing panicked. If this fatty was really strangled to death by this man, she would not be able to escape the blame. She quickly leaned over and placed her little hand on Li Ruixu’s bulging arm. She pushed him gently and said, “Let him go. We can’t blow things up with the current situation.”

Hearing this, Li Ruixu stared at her for a few seconds, as if he wanted to see through her. Xia Chenxing panicked, afraid that she had said the wrong thing.

“She’s quite pretty. No wonder…” Li Ruixu didn’t finish his sentence.

Xia Chenxing frowned. No wonder? She wanted to press him, but on second thought, she wouldn’t see this man again anyway. Who cared what he wanted to say?

Li Ruixu finally let go of Boss Zhao and threw him to Xiao Qi. “Throw him out.”

“Yes!” Upon receiving the order, Xiao Qi carried Boss Zhao and walked out. When the people who followed Boss Zhao saw this scene, they also scrambled away.

Seeing that the crisis had been resolved, Xia Chenxing tiptoed to the door and prepared to leave secretly. However, just as her hand was about to touch the door, a hand suddenly appeared on her shoulder. She trembled in fear and did not dare to move. At this moment, a man’s voice came from behind. “Mrs. Li, I’ve already helped you. Please help me with something next.”

Twenty minutes later, Xia Chenxing sent the woman who had miscarried to the hospital where she worked. She was the only associate chief physician in this hospital who was promoted due to an exception. Under such circumstances, it was not difficult to bring a woman with no status into the hospital for treatment. She personally operated on the woman, who could be discharged after a few days of recuperation.

It was already past five in the morning when she got off the operating table. Xia Chenxing returned to the lounge, exhausted. She lay on the bed in the lounge and did not fall asleep immediately. Instead, she forced herself to stay awake until work hours and called the department head to ask for leave. She had been tricked by Xia Zhixi’s mother yesterday. She had to go back and take revenge today!

The Xia Family House

Xia Zhixi and Zhuang Meiyu were watching a movie and tasting bird’s nest on the sofa. They were in a good mood.
