As Shen Erzhu spoke, he glanced smugly at Xie Sidu out of the corner of his eye, blatantly showing off.
Xie Sidu didn't know where his sense of superiority came from. Could hitting a woman really give him a sense of superiority?
He couldn't help but try to calm his anger and said expressionlessly, "Mr. Shen, I am Xie Sidu, Xie Li's biological father."
Shen Erzhu's expression changed: "Oh, it's President Xie! You didn't even say you were coming, which caused me to misunderstand. Please forgive me!"
"Please have a seat, would you like some fruit? Damn it, go and invite President Chen to sit down!"
His tone was solicitous and warm, but his eyes were darting around, clearly indicating that he was up to no good.
Xie Sidu refused, "No need. I came here to discuss matters related to your injury and Ms. Wang's surgery with you."
"If you trust us, we can immediately arrange for Ms. Wang to be admitted to Huichuntang Traditional Chinese Medicine Hospital, which is under the Xie family, for surgery. The Xie family will bear all subsequent treatment and related expenses; the Xie family will also cover your treatment costs this time."
Shen Erzhu listened for a while, then said, "Oh, is there anything else?"
Xie Sidu's gaze was cold: "Isn't your only request to cure Ms. Wang's illness?"
In just this brief meeting, Xie Sidu, a seasoned businessman who had seen countless people, was able to tell that this person was dishonest.
The Xie family can contribute money, manpower, and effort to treat illnesses and injuries, but they absolutely cannot back down on anything else.
Such people love to push their luck. Once they open the door and fatten the other party's appetite, there will likely be endless troubles in the future.
He couldn't let this kind of person keep bothering Xie Li.
Is the Xie family planning to refuse to give a single penny? This is unacceptable! Who cares about the life or death of that wretched woman Wang Cuihua? What they want is money, lots of money!
Shen Erzhu's eyes darted around, and he said loudly, "What do you mean by this? Everyone knows that traditional Chinese medicine is a complete fraud these days, and it can't cure any diseases. Are you trying to drag my child's mother to your Huichuntang to kill her? You think you'll be rid of all your troubles once she's dead?"
"I disagree! There's no room for negotiation! You give us the money, and we'll find the best hospital for treatment ourselves!"
Xie Sidu looked at him quietly: "Alright, how much money do you need?"
Shen Erzhu looked at him suspiciously, afraid that Xie Sidu was trying to trick him. That person had told him to play the part completely.
Xie Sidu: "How about this, you choose a hospital, and we will be responsible for settling Ms. Wang's medical expenses with the hospital."
"No way!" Shen Erzhu refused without even thinking. How could this be allowed? Absolutely not!
"President Shen, you're a big boss, you have no idea what kind of life we ordinary people lead. Lili's mother has lived a life of hardship, I can't let her continue to suffer with a useless man like me!"
"I don't ask for anything else, I just hope that your Xie family can bring Lili's mother back to the Xie family to enjoy a peaceful retirement. Of course, she's quite hardworking, she can do chores like serving tea and water!"
"Lili is, after all, her beloved daughter. Just let her stay by Lili's side!"
Shen Erzhu spoke with such sincerity that tears were almost streaming down his face.
Wang Cuihua lowered her head and remained silent.
Of course she didn't want to leave her husband. He wasn't dead yet, and asking her to live with her adopted daughter was just ridiculous.
But Shen Erzhu said that this was only a temporary measure. He told her to go to the Xie family first, and then find an opportunity to bring him and his son in as well, so that the four of them could be reunited.
She knew she was being unfair to Lili, but what could she do? They were her husband and son! She couldn't just watch them suffer.
