Chapter 141: Two Professors, Nice to Meet You!

The next day, at noon.

Xie Wantang brought Xie Yushu to the appointment on time; along the way she felt someone was following her, but she didn't mind much, as Shen Ye had told her he had asked Su Yang to secretly protect her.

She did not refuse Shen Ye's kindness, nor could she refuse it.

Su Yang was Lu Chen's person; Xie Wantang knew he would not harm her.

Upon arriving at the hotel, Xie Wantang gave the waiter three words for Mr. Yan, and the waiter led them to the private room Yan Xiu had reserved.

Upon entering the private room, Xie Wantang discovered that Yan Xiu had not only invited her, but many others as well.

These people were all their peers in Hai City engaged in medicine-related work.

Xie Wantang slightly pursed her lips and said her senior martial brother was overly worried; Xie Yushu's expression immediately changed.

She felt that Yan Xiu was truly disrespectful.

She had thought he wanted a share in the medical field, hoping to cooperate with their Xie Shi Traditional Chinese Medicine Clinic; at the very least, his sincerity ought to be shown.

As it turned out, he hadn't even explained his sincerity to them, instead he first cast a wide net.

He had invited so many peers to dine with him at the same time?

How?

Did he think he wanted to cooperate in the medical industry, yet make the Xie clan compete with these peers first?

Who does he think he is?

As one of the inheritors of Xie Shi Traditional Chinese Medicine Clinic, Xie Yushu still had a bit of pride, especially her acupuncture skills; even if she dared not claim to be a grand master, in Hai City she ranked very high.

Yan Xiu truly showed no respect for their Xie Clan Medical Clinic.

"Wantang, I can't stomach this meal today." Even though they had already entered the private room, seeing the scene inside, Xie Yushu intended to turn and leave.

She couldn't eat this meal, being toyed with like this.

"Fine, go ahead then." Xie Wantang did not force her.

Xie Yushu had pride; she did not.

Xie Yushu is the true inheritor of the Xie Clan Medical Clinic; she is not.

She is merely Xie Ningmeng's adopted daughter, her relationship with the Xie Clan Medical Clinic is only cooperative; thus she stays, so as not to embarrass the clinic.

She simply wanted to know what Yan Xiu was up to.

Only by staying could she find out; holding in her breath, there was nothing she could otherwise know.

"..."

Xie Yushu looked at Xie Wantang in disbelief, "Can this woman really be so flexible?"

Everyone has already slapped her in the face to this extent, yet she still won't leave?

Is she still even a member of the Xie Clan Medical Clinic?

"You're not leaving?" Xie Yushu frowned, hoping Xie Wantang would leave together with her.

"If she leaves, we won't know any news."

"..."

In the end, Xie Yushu left.

The private room was large; Yan Xiu walked from the head seat to the door, taking some time. By the time he arrived and before he could speak, Xie Yushu had already turned and left, forcefully shutting the door from outside.

Yan Xiu didn't even have a chance to speak.

Xie Wantang apologized to her cousin for Yan Xiu, "Sorry, my car broke down; my cousin brought me here. She came up with me just to gossip, wanting to see which handsome guy I'm dining with."

"I told her we were dining with peers; she didn't believe me, but now she does, so she left first. At the clinic, many patients are still waiting for her acupuncture."

"Hmm, I see. I had thought Miss Xie was angry because she saw too many people." Yan Xiu said softly.

"..."

As it turns out, she still has some self-awareness.

"Miss Xie, I don't have much time; I'm about to return to Sijiucheng to take up my post. I have no choice—I can't guarantee that your Xie Shi Traditional Chinese Medicine Clinic will definitely cooperate with me, so I invited a few more peers; you don't mind, do you?"

"Of course I don't mind; Mr. Yan's sincerity does indeed make me look at him anew."

Yan Xiu could tell that Xie Wantang was displeased.

He lowered his head, and when he lifted it again, his dark eyes were calm, without wind or waves.

"Miss Xie, you'll soon know why I invited your peers."

"Come, please have a seat."

"Thank you."

Xie Wantang sat down; her seat was the third to Yan Xiu's right, beside her was the vice president of the Chinese Medicine Hospital, whom she knew, but he did not know her.

After she sat down, he greeted her and asked which hospital she was from.

She smiled and replied that she was from Xie Shi Traditional Chinese Medicine Clinic.

The reputation of Xie Shi Traditional Chinese Medicine Clinic in Hai City has always been great; his eyes showed admiration.

On Xie Wantang's other side, there were still two empty seats.

After she was seated, Yan Xiu had not yet told the waiter to serve the dishes; Xie Wantang realized the attendees were not yet all present.

"Miss Xie, please wait a few more minutes; Professor Lu and Professor Chen will arrive shortly."

"..."

Yan Xiu's words were directed at Xie Wantang.

Upon hearing those words, Xie Wantang felt her heart sink instantly.

Was it the Professor Lu and Professor Chen she knew?

Was it the overly cold-hearted, ruthless couple of Lu Chen who only wanted to stay in the lab doing experiments?

After all, Lu Chen has gone missing; the couple has never shown their faces.

For Professor Wu's funeral, as his daughter and son-in-law, they didn't even personally handle the arrangements, and on the day of the burial they didn't even attend.

However, Professor Wu still left his property to LC Technology.

Currently, LC Technology is also being managed by them.

Lu Chen was probably also forced out by them, right? Without Lu Chen, the couple are the bosses of this company, whose market value is tens of billions.

Moreover, its future is limitless, and it has been rising continuously.

If Lu Chen were still around, I'm afraid it would now be worth not just tens of billions, but possibly over a hundred billion.

Five minutes later, Professor Lu Chen and Professor Chen, a highly renowned professor couple domestically, made an appearance.

As soon as the two appeared, everyone else in the private room was invisible to this professor couple, except for Yan Xiu.

Yan Xiu really has great influence, able to make this aloof couple treat him so politely.

His influence surpasses that of Lu Chen and Professor Wu.

Yan Xiu stood up, ushered the two over, and seated them beside Xie Wantang; Xie Wantang felt that this arrangement was clearly intentional.

But why would Yan Xiu do that?

Unless he knows her relationship with that professor couple.

But that shouldn't be the case; back then, she and Lu Chen were on their way to get their marriage license when Lu Chen met with an accident.

In other words, Lu Chen and she never actually obtained a marriage license, so they weren't officially married; therefore, no one in Haishi knows what her relationship with Lu Chen is.

So, no one in Haishi knows what her relationship with that professor couple is, either.

Of course, the three of them originally had no relation, even if she had borne them a pair of grandsons and granddaughters.

Moreover, they have no blood relation to Lu Chen, and even less to her children.

Without overthinking it and after calming her mind, Xie Wantang felt much more at ease when facing that professor couple.

Yan Xiu seemed unable to bear seeing Xie Wantang so calm, and introduced both sides: "Professors, this is Miss Xie of the Xie Family Medical Clinic, Miss Xie, professors, do you need me to introduce you?"

"No need, professors; you're famous nationwide—who here hasn't heard of your names?" Xie Wantang chuckled, then gracefully extended her hand to greet the two professors: "Professor Lu, Professor Chen, pleased to meet you!"
