Chapter 263: Chapter 263: It Was Her Idea Chapter 263: Chapter 263: It Was Her Idea Xu Bingwen was somewhat short of breath in front of her, “My in-laws are with my wife, and I’ve already been reprimanded by them. They insisted that I must come to thank you.”
Ye Chuyi looked at him expressionlessly.
It seemed that Xu Bingwen’s Yue Family was also very powerful, perhaps no less powerful than the Xu Family, otherwise Xu Bingwen wouldn’t be so obedient to his parents-in-law.
“You don’t need to thank me. This surgery has nothing to do with you. If it were just you, I wouldn’t have helped out.”
This kind of high-risk surgery not only involved extreme risks for the pregnant woman herself but also for the doctor. Should the surgery fail, it could mean the loss of two lives, one big and one small, a responsibility no one would want to carry.
The entire hospital’s experts and directors had strongly recommended that Mrs. Xu terminate the pregnancy to save her life.
Ye Chuyi took the risk and performed the surgery because her teacher had approved, and also for the sake of Xu Qiong’s feelings.
Xu Bingwen, seeing that she was still very cold to him, knew he had offended her greatly this time.
Indeed, she had helped his wife, and not only had he not been grateful, but he also fired her and accused her of poor character and lacking medical ethics.
It made sense that she was angry.
Xu Bingwen, feeling too ashamed to stay in her office any longer, quickly left after expressing his thanks.
He returned to the ward to be with his wife through her critical period.
Three days later, when her condition stabilized, he called his secretary to his office.
Xia Chan was dressed in professional attire, her pretty face lightly made up, her long hair tied back, giving her a fresh, pleasing, and professional appearance.
Her resignation was still being processed, and she hadn’t finished handing over her work, so she was still working for Xu Bingwen.
Xu Bingwen, looking at her, couldn’t imagine that such a bright and capable girl would go to the ward to upset his pregnant wife.
His face no longer held the usual geniality towards her, “You nearly killed my wife and child. To think that I employed you for a year, not knowing you were such a malicious woman!”
Xia Chan’s face turned pale, “Director Xu, I didn’t intend to harm your wife and child. I was there to apologize to your wife that day, and I didn’t expect that it would cause her such distress.”
“Why were you carrying a photo with you when you went to apologize to her? And moreover, a doctored photo of you and me together?”
“What doctored photo? Director Xu, what are you talking about?”
“You deliberately created a photo of me holding you, and you intentionally dropped it in front of my wife to upset her!”
“No, I didn’t!”
Xia Chan shook her head frantically, quickly took out her wallet, and removed a photo, almost crying, “Director Xu, is this the photo you’re talking about? I accidentally dropped it when I went to apologize to Mrs. Xu.”
Xu Bingwen took it and saw that it was indeed a man holding Xia Chan, but the man was not him, merely somewhat similar.
“Director Xu, the man in the photo is my ex-boyfriend. He has… he has passed away.”
Xia Chan’s tears fell, “This is the only photo I have with him, so I’ve always carried it with me, looking at it every day. It was an accident that it fell that day; I didn’t expect your wife would misunderstand. I’m sorry, it’s all my fault.”
Xu Bingwen was taken aback. Could it be that he had misunderstood her?
But regardless of whether there had been a misunderstanding, he could not keep this secretary any longer. He had always thought his wife too sensitive and prone to overthinking, and since he believed he had done nothing to wrong her, he hadn’t taken her requests seriously.
But his wife had almost had a miscarriage twice, and both times the secretary was somehow involved.
He was definitely not pleased about it.
“The two years’ worth of additional salary I promised you, forget it. You are being fired for gross misconduct, and you won’t receive any compensation! From now on, you’re no longer my employee, there’s no need to hand over your work, just leave immediately!”
Xia Chan’s face became even whiter, “Director Xu…”
“Get out!”
“Director Xu, please don’t rush to send me away. There’s actually a reason I went to apologize to Mrs. Xu!”
“What reason?”
“That day, weren’t you meeting with a Miss Wen Nianyou in the office? It was her idea for me to see Mrs. Xu!”
“What?!”
