Chapter 78: Chu Li is the Beneficiary

The smile on the man's face vanished.

He leaned back against the chair, revealing his true colors, and sneered contemptuously, "You gave birth to one and one died in your belly; do you still think you're a virgin?"

"If it weren't for Mingzhu pleading on your behalf, I wouldn't even bother to see you. It's your good fortune that I've taken a fancy to you now."

"And that child of yours, an illegitimate child—if he's dead, he's dead."

He spoke of human life as if it were a triviality.

Qin Xingwan looked at him expressionlessly, "What did you say?"

The man repeated it nonchalantly, "I said that illegitimate child of yours..."

"He is not an illegitimate child," Qin Xingwan coldly interrupted him.

The man scoffed: "What is it if not an illegitimate child when you give birth before marriage? I heard he also has a serious illness; he won't live long, will he?"

Qin Xingwan splashed the water from her glass directly onto the man's face.

"My child is not for you to gossip about here."

The man was furious and stood up, ready to strike.

But the next second, someone pinned his hands behind his back and pressed him onto the table, leaving him in a completely disheveled state.

Wen Lvzhong turned his head to look at Qin Xingwan, "Are you alright?"

The man was about to curse, but Wen Lvzhong used a napkin to stuff his mouth with quick, practiced movements.

She pursed her lips lightly, "I'm fine."

It was just that her heart felt heavy.

The two of them left the restaurant together.

Not far away, inside a black Bentley, Chu Li slowly closed the folder in his hands.

Between the pages of the folder lay two thin sheets of paper, where the words "matching results" were vaguely visible.

Assistant Wu didn't even dare to look at Chu Li's expression; he only felt that the temperature on President Chu was lower than the air conditioning in the car.

At this moment, he truly dared not provoke Chu Li.

Chu Li opened the folder again and looked at the matching results.

He was a match.

After getting the results, he had come to find Qin Xingwan, wanting to share this good news with her.

But what had he seen?

Qin Xingwan and Wen Lvzhong were together.

His heart suddenly turned cold.

Wen Lvzhong asked about what had just happened.

Qin Xingwan did not hide it and told him about the Qin Family coming to do the matching test.

Wen Lvzhong felt heartache for her, "The Qin Family might not necessarily be a successful match."

Qin Xingwan knew that, of course, but even if there was a one-in-ten-thousand chance, she could not give up.

Just then, Wen Lvzhong's phone rang; it was a call from the Yiyuan.

He answered it hurriedly.

"Mr. Wen, someone has matched successfully."

Wen Lvzhong wept with joy and hugged Qin Xingwan, "Ping'an, he has found suitable bone marrow."

Qin Xingwan's heart hammered wildly; stunned by this good news, she asked with a trembling voice, "Really?"

"It's true, the Yiyuan just called," Wen Lvzhong said, unable to contain his excitement.

Qin Xingwan clung to his arm, her heart full of joy.

Ping'an was finally saved.

No one noticed the black car passing by them.

The gaze of the person inside the car was tempered with ice.

Qin Xingwan and Wen Lvzhong rushed back to the Yiyuan.

Wen Lvzhong let Qin Xingwan go to accompany Wen Ping'an while he went to find the doctor.

He wanted to know who the person who matched successfully was.

Qin Xingwan wanted to know too, but knowing that there was no use rushing at this moment, she agreed and went to the ward.

The doctor's office.

Wen Lvzhong frowned.

"You're saying the person who matched successfully is Chu Li?"

The doctor nodded, "The results just came out, and President Chu had no intention of hiding it, so I notified you immediately."

The first thing Wen Lvzhong thought of was not that Wen Ping'an's illness was curable, but of Qin Xingwan.

He was a lawyer, and his intuition was always terrifyingly accurate.

Chu Li was likely revealing the news through the doctor on purpose.

He was scheming against Qin Xingwan.

The doctor said, "President Chu had something urgent to attend to and left at the time, so I didn't get a chance to ask his wishes. Mr. Wen, you must contact him as soon as possible; for the child's health, it is best to have the surgery early."

"I understand," Wen Lvzhong nodded.

He left the doctor's office, stood in the hallway for a moment, and then headed straight out of the Yiyuan.

He was going to find Chu Li.

After Chu Li finished his meeting and came out, he saw Wen Lvzhong in his office.

The message was left by him intentionally, but he was surprised that it was Wen Lvzhong who came.

He remained expressionless and asked in a calm voice, "Something up?"

Wen Lvzhong explained his purpose, "As long as you are willing to save Ping'an, from now on I, Wen Lvzhong, will be at your beck and call."

This was the greatest promise he could make.

As long as he could save the child, he could sacrifice everything.

Chu Li tossed the folder onto the table and lazily spun his chair behind the desk.

"Where is she?"

"Why didn't she come?"

Wen Lvzhong's eyes darkened; as expected, Chu Li was aiming for Qin Xingwan.

He pretended not to see through Chu Li's intentions, "Are you talking about Xingwan? She is taking care of the child."

Chu Li watched Wen Lvzhong quietly for a moment.

Both were intelligent men, and they had each seen through the other's thoughts.

"Wen Lvzhong, if you want to save your son, let her come and talk to me." Chu Li couldn't be bothered to beat around the bush and stated his demand directly.

He had no interest in Wen Lvzhong and was too lazy to waste his breath.

Wen Lvzhong stood up from the sofa and took a step forward.

He was a lawyer, and his emotions had always been tempered to be exceptionally steady, but at this moment, for the sake of Qin Xingwan, he was stirred to anger.

"Chu Li, Ping'an is my son; there is no need for you to use this matter to threaten her."

"She is already divorced from you."

Chu Li stood up as well, the expression on his face left with nothing but coldness.

"Isn't Wen Ping'an her son?"

"We broke up three years ago, and I have been the one raising my son; it has nothing to do with her."

"She gave birth to him, how could it have nothing to do with her?"

Wen Lvzhong's tone grew colder, "I had already gone abroad when she married you, and we had no contact; there is no need for you to be so petty and hold a grudge over past matters."

"Besides, she said herself that she doesn't like me, and she is staying at the Yiyuan to take care of Ping'an."

Chu Li couldn't be bothered to listen to these words; in his view, they were all high-sounding sophistry.

"I said, if you want to save your son, let her come and talk to me."

Wen Lvzhong pursed his lips, his words sharp, "Chu Li, you keep saying you like her, is this your version of liking someone? Threatening her at every turn, making things difficult for her at every turn?"

When he accepted Qin Xingwan's divorce case upon the introduction of Fang Yiwen, he had investigated the marriage between Qin Xingwan and Chu Li.

He knew exactly how this marriage had come to be.

In his view, Qin Xingwan was the one who had been wronged in this marriage.

Chu Li was the one who had benefited.

Yet, he was the one acting aggrieved.

Chu Li's expression turned gloomy, "I don't understand those grand principles of yours, but I am a businessman; profit comes first, and I don't do losing deals."

Wen Lvzhong found it hard to understand, how did this have anything to do with a losing deal?

He had even promised to be at his beck and call in the future.

Was that not enough?

"Chu Li, I know you had an unfortunate childhood and don't know how to like someone or how to love someone correctly."

"But Qin Xingwan is a living, breathing person; you cannot use the name of loving her to trap her by your side..."

"Shut up, who do you think you are to point fingers at my affairs?" Chu Li roared.

He clenched his palm into a fist and swung it over.

Wen Lvzhong took the punch, his patience pushed to the limit.

He didn't hold back and punched Chu Li in the face.

Soon, the two men were brawling together.
