Mr. Bigshot Is Obsessed with His Hidden-Marriage Wife

Chapter 57: Chapter 57: Desire for Victory and Defeat

Bai Chutong had started her shift at the hospital after lunch.

Today, the VIP area wasn’t too busy; there were no new patients admitted, nor were there any surgeries scheduled, as the wealthy of Ao City weren’t sick every day.

Ye Yan had been working on a PowerPoint presentation for Director Bi’s recent research topic when Xiao Xiao suddenly burst in the door, "Dr. Ye, a fight has broken out."

"Who is fighting whom?" Ye Yan took off his anti-blue light glasses and set them aside, his expression as calm as ever.

"Doctor Bai and Chairman Li’s wife." Xiao Xiao pulled on her arm, "Let’s hurry and watch... no, let’s go break it up."

Xiao Xiao’s gossiping spirit blazed with fervor, impatient to rush to the scene of the action.

Bai Chutong’s office door was open, and the noise drew a crowd of onlooking colleagues to the doorway.

"You shameless whore." The insult came from Chairman Li’s wife, whose voice, though not shrill, carried a piercing force.

Ye Yan stood outside the crowd, seeing Bai Chutong with disheveled hair and a clear slap mark on her face, which was slightly swollen, indicating a hefty blow from the other woman.

Chairman Li’s wife, clad in extravagant brands, tall and well-maintained, her ear-length hair accentuating her sharp, assertive look.

She had once been Ye Yan’s patient, having undergone surgery for uterine myomas in the VIP ward. Compared to Chairman Li, Chairman Li’s wife was equally impressive, serving as the CFO of a major listed company and frequently appearing in Ao City’s financial magazines.

Faced with Chairman Li’s wife, a definitively more imposing figure, Bai Chutong was pale and dared not speak.

"Has the hospital director arrived yet?" Mrs. Li pulled up a chair and sat down, relaxed as if she were in her own office.

The hospital director hurried over, and Chairman Li arrived as well.

With all parties present, Chairman Li stepped forward trying to pull his wife back, "Everyone is watching; have some respect for me."

"Do you even know what respect is? When you were in bed with that little vixen, did you think about respect?" Mrs. Li shook off his hand and turned to the hospital director, "This matter must be resolved by your hospital."

The director had already received a brief report on the way over.

He then suppressed his curiosity for gossip and spoke seriously, "If our employee did something wrong, the hospital will definitely not overlook it, but since there are still patients on the VIP floor, could Mrs. Li please discuss this in the conference room?"

The director still cared about appearances and didn’t want the hospital to end up in the scandalous tabloids.

The tabloids in Ao City were notorious for their fabrications, turning a single photo into a saga of millions of words about the rich and famous.

Yet Mrs. Li was unmoved, "Only now you think about face? Isn’t everyone concerned with keeping their reputation?"

She looked down at Bai Chutong, who was still keeping her head low, "Just for five votes, you slept your way through, when have the doctors in your VIP ward become so cheap?"

The director knew the truth, but the onlooking crowd did not. Now that Mrs. Li spoke out, onlookers revealed their realization.

Wasn’t it said that Ye Yan was involved in sleeping around? Why was it Bai Chutong?

Listening to Mrs. Li laying it out so blatantly, Bai Chutong was overwhelmed with shame, "Don’t spout nonsense."

"Nonsense?" Mrs. Li pulled out a stack of photos from her bag and slammed them in front of Bai Chutong, "Are you saying I’m blind?"

As the photos scattered across the floor, everyone craned their necks to get a better look at the content.

"It really is Chairman Li and Doctor Bai." One sharp-eyed colleague exclaimed incredulously, "The two of them are embracing and kissing."

Bai Chutong also saw the photos and frantically tried to collect them all.

How did this happen, who had secretly taken photos of her and Chairman Li?

She had meticulously arranged everything, and now everyone should already be spreading rumors about Chairman Li and Ye Yan’s clandestine rules.

The director glanced at the photo and his face turned livid too.

Chairman Li was profoundly frightened and, when facing his wife’s interrogation, he fell to his knees quite readily, "Wife, I was wrong. It was all her seducing me. I promise I’ll never dare again."

Bai Chutong’s eyes widened, evidently stunned by Chairman Li’s behavior.

The man who had held her so close last night and this morning, showering her with kisses and affectionate words, was now disavowing any connection and pushing all the blame onto her.

Bai Chutong, infuriated, felt the situation was uncontrollable, so she might as well expose everything and let the chips fall where they may.

Thus, she spilled everything about Chairman Li’s flirty misdeeds, mixing truth with fiction freely.

As a result, Chairman Li’s face endured two slaps.

Ye Yan quietly excused herself from the gathering crowd and walked to the balcony for some fresh air.

She had always been kind to others, but if someone crossed her boundaries, she wouldn’t hesitate to strike back mercilessly.

She didn’t sympathize with Bai Chutong’s plight today; if she had shown any weakness, she would have been the one despised by thousands now.

She empathized with others’ suffering, but who understood her difficulties?

Tonight, the director board issued a notice, revoking Chairman Li’s eligibility to judge the current committee and replaced him with a more upright director.

However, oddly, the board only penalized Bai Chutong by docking three months of her bonus and did not remove her from the candidate list.

"It’s because of Mr. Li," Xiao Xiao was always in the know about insider news, "I heard Doctor Bai reached out to Mr. Li, and he had this matter smoothed over."

This Mr. Li, being the chairman’s nephew and involved in the gaming business, although not as powerful as the Huangsha Group, held considerable sway in the industry.

Ye Yan recalled that Mr. Li used to be Bai Chutong’s patient, which seemed to explain everything.

This was Bai Chutong’s final card, which she surely wouldn’t play unless absolutely necessary.

After work, Ye Yan saw a luxurious car waiting in the parking lot and Bai Chutong walking briskly towards it.

After Bai Chutong got into the car, Mr. Li was sitting in the backseat, smoking.

"I’m sorry, Mr. Li, for troubling you over such a trivial matter," Bai Chutong carefully appeased and flattered.

Mr. Li’s gaze, however, stayed fixed outside the window, unmoving.

Bai Chutong followed his line of sight only to see Ye Yan, standing in front of her own car, about to open the door and get inside.

Today’s events vaguely hinted at Ye Yan’s involvement, but there was no evidence.

She endured such humiliation and had to rely on her biggest backup while Ye Yan sat back passively, reaping the benefits and becoming the frontrunner in this selection.

While Bai Chutong had to sleep with someone and flatter them and got nothing, tonight she would also have to endure Mr. Li’s...

Thinking of Mr. Li’s twisted preferences, Bai Chutong felt a chill run through her.

"That’s my colleague Ye Yan," Bai Chutong’s thoughts raced, "She’s beautiful and has a great figure, but she’s too aloof and never spares anyone a second glance; she’s very hard to tame."

Bai Chutong had some understanding of Mr. Li.

Mr. Li took pleasure in taming others, and hearing the words "very hard to tame" would ignite his strong desire to win.

Once he took an interest...
