Starting with a beautiful woman's private doctor

"Kid, who gives you the right to speak here!"

A sinister glint flashed in Ah Bao's eyes. If Xue Beichen hadn't given the order, he probably would have already started making his move.

Xia Wantang was a smart person. Although she didn't know why Chu Nan was stopping her from drinking, she was aware of the reason.

But judging from Ah Bao's reaction, there's probably something wrong with the wine.

However, she now needs someone's help, so she has no choice but to knowingly walk into danger.

Most importantly... given the current situation, if conflict were to break out...

She might be fine, but Chu Nan would definitely not have the chance to walk out standing up.

Xia Wantang first patted Chu Nan's hand lightly, then looked at Xue Beichen, who was still watching TV, and said, "I can drink this wine, but I hope you can sign the patent transfer contract."

"Sister Tang—"

Chu Nan wanted to say something, but Xia Wantang stopped him with a look.

Xue Beichen opened a bottle of children's beverage and took a sip. "Okay, but you have to drink alcohol first."

"no problem."

Without any hesitation, Xia Wantang raised her glass and drank it all in one gulp.

She wiped the wine stains from the corner of her mouth with her hand, then turned the glass upside down and said, "I've already drunk the wine, can we sign the contract now?"

This time, Xue Beichen finally turned his head and focused his gaze on Xia Wantang for the first time. "When did I ever say that I would sign the contract as long as you drank alcohol?"

"Ah Leopard, did you hear that?"

"There is no young master."

"you--"

Xia Wantang was instantly enraged, her almond-shaped eyes widening as she demanded, "Xue Beichen, what exactly do you mean?!"

"Isn't my meaning obvious?"

Xue Beichen smiled, but his tone was unusually cold. "Xia Wantang, you need to understand clearly that you have absolutely no right to negotiate with me on this matter!"

Xia Wantang remained silent.

Although her status in Beihai's high society is indeed somewhat different from Xue Beichen's.

But no matter what, they are ultimately in the same circle.

Under normal circumstances, Xue Beichen would never dare to look down on himself like that.

The problem is... what if we can't get the patent back this time and successfully launch the new product?

Those old guys in the company will definitely take this opportunity to rebel and drive her out of Baihua Group for good.

Baihua Group is the culmination of her husband's life's work; she absolutely cannot just stand by and watch it be handed over to someone else.

So, even though her anger had reached its peak, she forced herself to calm down. "What will it take for you to agree to sign the contract?"

"It's simple, I want half of your shares."

Xue Beichen picked up a French fry and cut it off piece by piece with his front teeth, as if Xia Wantang were that French fry that he had already devoured.

"impossible!"

Xia Wantang blurted it out almost immediately.

The reason she endured humiliation and drank the beverage even though she knew it was problematic was to save the company.

If she were to hand over half of her shares, she would completely lose control of the Baihua Group.

By then, even if we get the patent back, it will be meaningless.

"Since Young Master Xue isn't planning on a sincere discussion, let's leave it at that!"

As Xia Wantang spoke, she prepared to leave with Chu Nan.

Xue Beichen laughed disdainfully, "Xia Wantang, do you think you'll have a chance to leave now that you've come here?"

As he spoke, Ah Bao stretched out his hand and stopped the two of them.

Xia Wantang's face darkened, and she said to Chu Nan beside her, "Call the police!"

Should we call the police?

Xue Beichen's tone was full of amusement, "Tsk tsk tsk, what a pity, you can't make a single phone call in this room."

"you--"

Xia Wantang had expected Xue Beichen to be disrespectful, but she never imagined he would go to such extremes.

"Hurry up!"

Xia Wantang gave Chu Nan a push, wanting him to leave first.

In her view, Xue Beichen's goal was clear: to take over the shares he held in order to acquire Baihua Group.

To him, Chu Nan was nothing more than an insignificant person.

As long as he is still here, the other party will not make things difficult for Chu Nan.

Ah Bao in front of them indeed showed no intention of stopping them.

However, Chu Nan stood there motionless, and Xia Wantang couldn't help but start to get anxious. "What are you still standing there for? Let's go!"

"Sister Tang, I'm not leaving."

Hearing Chu Nan's answer, Xia Wantang said anxiously, "I knew the wine had been tampered with, but I still drank it. Doesn't that make you understand the other person's status?"

"I don't know his status, but I know one thing: I absolutely cannot let anything happen to you, Sister Tang!"

As he spoke, Chu Nan had already gotten into position.

At the same time, his entire demeanor changed.

With a slight arch in his back and a lowered center of gravity, he resembled a compressed spring, exuding a sharpness akin to that of a wild beast!

"I thought you had long since abandoned everyone, but I didn't expect you to still have such a loyal dog by your side, wait..."

Xue Beichen suddenly shook his head, his expression mocking, and said, "If it were just a dog, there would be no need to keep such a beautiful one."

"Hey Mr. Xia, is this your kept man?"

"If Boss Tang knew that you've found someone new only a month after he left, he'd probably die with regrets."

Xia Wantang knew that she had no power to resist on the other side's territory.

Therefore, she could only suppress her anger and try to speak in a relatively calm tone: "This matter has nothing to do with Chu Nan. As long as you let him go, I can consider giving you half of the shares."

"Oh?"

Xue Beichen's eyes lit up, his expression somewhat surprised. "Interesting, interesting. It seems your relationship with this pretty boy is much deeper than I imagined."

"She's actually willing to give up half of her shares for him, but... I hate this kind of drama the most."

"Ah Bao, let the men in and... cripple this pretty boy!"

"yes!"

Xia Wantang then realized that her good intentions had backfired.

The more you show that you value Chu Nan, the less likely the other party will let Chu Nan go.

Because after she showed Chu Nan a concern that was different from that of ordinary people.

Chu Nan's identity has changed from that of an unrelated person to a bargaining chip used to blackmail him into handing over more shares!

Just as she was feeling frustrated, the bodyguards outside filed in at Ah Bao's call.

And this group of people did not hesitate at all.

The moment they entered the house, they locked onto their target.

They pounced on Chu Nan like wild dogs.

Xue Beichen started watching Tom and Jerry again, but lowered the volume using the remote control.

With a series of "crack" sounds as a joint broke, his face was filled with enjoyment.

It was as if, to him, the sound of bones breaking inch by inch was the most beautiful music in the world.

However, when he tried to see Chu Nan's miserable state, the blissful smile on his face instantly froze.

The person lying on the ground rolling around was not Chu Nan, but his ten top-notch bodyguards who had received professional training!
