Chapter 40: Phoenix Man



Chapter 40 The Phoenix Man of the 1980s

He roared, and people were frightened again...

Lin Anan glanced at Xu Wenbo, with indescribable disgust in her eyes.

What kind of leader or successful person is he? Anyone who can beat a woman in public is pure trash!

"Is Sister Xiumei okay? Do you need to go to the hospital?"

"No, I'm fine. Just take a breath."

"If you don't mind, come sit at our table."

Hu Xiumei hesitated for a moment and nodded.

She even walked carefully around Xu Wenbo...

"You meddle in everything, and you're meddling in my family affairs?" Xu Wenbo took two steps forward and tried to pull her away. "Hu Xiumei, if you dare to take another step today, you're done!"

Hu Xiumei froze and stopped walking.

Chu Mingzhou quickly stopped the man and said, "Comrade, please be careful about your behavior."

"Go away, this is our family matter, you'd better get out of the way and stop interfering!"

Xu Wenbo smiled disdainfully, and raised his voice a notch higher, warning: "Hu Xiumei, come here, I'm only saying this for the last time!"

Lin Anan gently supported Hu Xiumei's arm. This time she didn't say much. It was an emergency and they were saving a life.

But others have their own lives, and it is her freedom to make any choice.

Hu Xiumei's eyes were red, and she held Lin Anan's hand with her backhand, as if she was seeking courage, "Xu Wenbo, I agree to divorce, you can go."

When Xu Wenbo heard this, he was stunned at first, and then his face turned extremely ugly. He glared at Hu Xiumei and poked her hand fiercely, "Okay, then you must remember this. I hate this face of yours the most. Do you think you are still the daughter of the leader? Without me, you are nothing!"

After saying that, he looked at everyone present coldly, "Get out of the way!" Then he left.

Hu Xiumei's body trembled slightly. She bit her lip and murmured, "I didn't expect that our Hu family would choose such an ungrateful person. He is going to wipe out the entire family!"

Lin Anan looked at Hu Xiumei, her heart full of sympathy, "Sister Xiumei, don't get excited, sit down first."

Hu Xiumei wiped away her tears and looked at Lin Anan and Chu Mingzhou gratefully, "Thank you so much for today."

Xu Wenbo is quite famous in the Northwest. Among the people eating at the state-owned restaurant today, many recognized him.

It’s not that everyone is indifferent. He is the youngest leader of the bus company. Even if most people sympathize with Hu Xiumei, they dare not offend him easily.

Now that Xu Wenbo left, many people came over.

Although it was just verbal comfort, it was still very useful to Hu Xiumei.

The crowd gradually dispersed only after the waiter brought the dishes.

"Comrade, this is the dish our chef sent to you. You just saved someone heroically. You are really awesome." The waiter gave Lin Anan a thumbs up.

Lin Anan was stunned and hurriedly thanked him, "Thank you very much, it's just a small favor, it's nothing."

"I know your method of saving lives. My cousin is a medical student and she mentioned it before. It's called CPR, right?

"Yes."

"You are really capable. You actually know all this."

"Thanks."

After Hu Xiumei recovered, she started talking about her own story.

Lin Anan felt that not only her worldview was shattered, but she was also extremely angry!

Isn’t Xu Wenbo the perfect example of the Phoenix Man of this era?

Xu Wenbo is not a native of the Northwest, but an educated youth who was sent down from the south city to the countryside in the Northwest.

By chance, Xu Wenbo met Hu's father, Hu Xiumei's father.

Xu Wenbo was smart, eloquent, good at pleasing others, and handsome, so he caught the eye of Hu's father.

As a senior leader of the Northwest Bus Company, Mr. Hu naturally has some abilities. Since he admires Xu Wenbo, he wants to promote him.

After Hu Xiumei and Xu Wenbo fell in love with each other, he transferred Xu Wenbo to the city.

Two years after they got married, Hu's father retired from the bus company and handed over his position to Xu Wenbo.

With the death of Hu's parents, everything began to change...

Xu Wenbo, who was originally considerate and gentle, became ambitious!

He used the connections and inheritance left by his father-in-law to carve out a niche for himself in the bus company.

Once this man gained power, his mind became crooked.

He felt that Hu Xiumei was not worthy of him at all, and his attitude towards her became worse and worse, and the harmonious relationship between the couple also collapsed.

Although Xu Wenbo was born into a family of educated youth, his education level was very average, which was also his shortcoming. Therefore, he particularly admired talented female comrades, such as Jiang Tong.

This divorce was not because of anything else, but because of Xu's mother, the fat aunt.

The fat aunt came to the Northwest with the intention of settling down and retiring. Not only did she come herself, she also wanted to bring her daughter over.

When my daughter came here, she had to have a job. A job in the bus company requires ability. Since my daughter lacked the ability, she set her sights on Hu Xiumei's job as a salesperson at the Xinhua Bookstore.

Hu Xiumei was unwilling to give up her job, which led to the current situation of divorce.

After listening to Hu Xiumei's story, Lin Anan felt sad.

"This Xu Wenbo is too much. If the Hu family hadn't helped him, he wouldn't have been able to get to where he is today. Now he treats you like this. It's really like the farmer and the snake."

Chu Mingzhou also frowned at the side. He didn't say much, but his displeasure was obvious.

Hu Xiumei sighed, her eyes filled with helplessness and sadness, "I didn't expect it would come to this. It's also my fault for not judging people well, which is why I ended up like this."

"This was someone else's plan for a long time, how can I blame you?"

Several people continued chatting while eating.

Finally, let’s talk about Xinhua Bookstore.

"What a coincidence! We are going to Xinhua Bookstore after dinner."

"I'll take you there. If you want to buy books, use my quota and you can get an employee discount."

"Thank you, but Sister Xiumei, are you really okay?"

Hu Xiumei shook her head. "I'm actually in good health, except that I have asthma."

When the meal was almost over, Lin Anan got up and went to the kitchen door. She finally brought back two boiled eggs, held them in a handkerchief and handed them to Hu Xiumei, "Rub your face."

Both sides of her face were red and swollen, and obvious slap marks were vaguely visible...

Hu Xiumei looked at the boiled eggs that Lin Anan handed over, her eyes became red again, and she choked up and said, "Sister, thank you!"

As she spoke, she took the egg and gently rubbed it on the red and swollen areas on her face. The warm touch made her heart warm and diluted some of the pain and grievance.

"fine."
