Divine Doctor and His CEO Wife-Chapter 105: Crawl Underneath Me

Zhang Yaqing said, "Young Master Xu, let’s return to the matter at hand. The Zhang Group has arranged all the necessary procedures, yet the Commerce Department is holding back our permits. Could it be that our Zhang Family has somehow caused an offense?"

Xu Baian feigned a sigh. "You know how it is; qualification certificates are difficult to get approved these days. My father is in a tough spot as well. Of course, if Miss Zhang were willing to marry me, we’d become family, and this matter would be much easier to handle."

He had long coveted Zhang Yaqing’s beauty and wanted a share of the Zhang Family’s enormous wealth. Once they married, he would have both riches and beauty!

Zhang Yaqing’s expression darkened. "Young Master Xu, you had best not make that kind of joke."

Xu Baian grinned. "I’m not joking. My Xu Family has power and influence, while your Zhang Family is immensely wealthy. This would be a powerful alliance! You’re a beautiful woman, and I, Xu Baian, am a famously handsome young master in Yuncheng City. We’re a match made in heaven!"

Zhang Yaqing responded coldly, "I’m sorry, Young Master Xu, but I already have a boyfriend. This is him. So please, don’t overstep your bounds."

Xu Baian was stunned for a moment, then laughed. "Having a boyfriend doesn’t matter. Just dump this country bumpkin now and be my girlfriend for a week. After all, I need to ’test the product.’ If your performance satisfies me, my father will immediately approve the application!

"And if I’m satisfied, we can get engaged and married. However, the Zhang Family’s dowry can’t be small; the Xu Family has a reputation to maintain, after all. It would be best if you transferred several of your businesses directly into my name. You’re well aware that although the Zhang Family is rich, you’re still a step below families like ours. You’d be climbing the social ladder, so don’t forget that my Xu Family holds many of your family’s lifelines in its hands.

"This isn’t just my intention, but my father’s as well! He also said that if we form a marriage alliance, it will be much more convenient for the Zhang Family to conduct its business in the future. But if you’re unwilling... well, if we aren’t family, things could get very difficult. The Zhang Family might even face a fatal blow! You wouldn’t want to see that happen, would you?"

Seeing Xu Baian’s utterly shameless expression, both Chen Xiao and Zhang Yaqing felt their skin crawl.

"Your skin is thicker than a city wall. I’m impressed," Chen Xiao said sarcastically. "Why don’t you just go rob someone?"

Xu Baian’s face turned cold. "Zhang Yaqing, kick this country bumpkin out, and I might still give you a chance—"

"I’m sorry, Young Master Xu. No deal." Zhang Yaqing took Chen Xiao’s hand. "Chen Xiao, let’s go."

Xu Baian’s face burned with humiliation. Agitated, he shot up from his seat, grabbed Zhang Yaqing’s arm, and threatened coldly, "Zhang Yaqing, have you lost your mind?! Believe it or not, with a single word from my Xu Family, all of your family’s businesses could be destroyed!"

"Then try it!" Zhang Yaqing scoffed. "An impotent-looking loser like you wants to court me? Dream on! Did you really think marrying me would let you get your hands on my family’s fortune? Your father’s an idiot, too! You’re so desperate for a woman, should I send a couple of sows to your house so you can have your fun?!"

"Zhang Yaqing, you’ve gone too far!" Xu Baian slammed his hands on the table and shot to his feet. "Just you wait! Soon enough, I’ll have your Chen Family kneeling and begging me! By then, Zhang Yaqing, you’ll be nothing but my dog!"

"What a load of crap." Chen Xiao grabbed a wine bottle and smashed it over Xu Baian’s head.

Xu Baian cried out in pain.

"Don’t!" Zhang Yaqing hurriedly tried to stop him. "Cursing him out is one thing, but getting physical will cause huge trouble!"

Chen Xiao paid her no mind, sending Xu Baian flying into a corner with another kick.

Xu Baian felt as if his body was about to split open, his face twisted in agony.

"Damn it! Kid, you’re asking to die!" Xu Baian pulled out his phone and made a call.

Soon, the sound of footsteps approached from outside.

A young man with an impressive demeanor strode in, his brow furrowing at the scene before him. The newcomer was none other than Li Chenqian, the son of the Yuncheng City Lord.

Upon seeing him, Zhang Yaqing quickly greeted him with respect. "Young Master Li!"

She might have dared to stand up to Xu Baian, but Li Chenqian’s status was so high that she wouldn’t dream of offending him.

Li Chenqian spoke coldly, "Baian, what happened? How did you get beaten up at my place?"

Xu Baian struggled to his feet, gritting his teeth. "Young Master Li, this country bumpkin started hitting people! He has no respect for me, my father, or you! You have to get justice for me today."

Li Chenqian narrowed his eyes. "Who threw the first punch?"

Zhang Yaqing took a deep breath. "Young Master Li, Xu Baian was insolent first! My friend was only standing up for me. If anyone’s to blame, it’s him and his filthy mouth. My Zhang Family can offer some compensation for his medical expenses, but that’s all. If what he said earlier were to get out, I’m afraid the Xu Family’s reputation would be ruined!"

"Are you threatening me?" Xu Baian sneered. "I wasn’t born yesterday!"

"Shut up!" Li Chenqian glared at him. He knew Xu Baian’s personality well; he must have said something incredibly offensive for someone to resort to violence.

Reprimanded by Li Chenqian, Xu Baian didn’t dare say another word. In their circle, Li Chenqian was the top dog; everyone else was a tier below him.

Li Chenqian stated, his tone pointed, "Regardless, causing trouble in my establishment comes with a price. My father is personally entertaining a distinguished guest here today, yet you’re all here making a scene. How utterly lawless."

"Baian, give them a condition to meet. There’s no need for more violence." He glanced indifferently at Zhang Yaqing. "Miss Zhang, my proposal is quite fair, wouldn’t you agree?"

"Fine." Xu Baian knew the City Lord was always impartial. If this matter escalated to him, he might not get his way.

"Zhang Yaqing, you’ll spend a week with me. If you do, I’ll forget this ever happened and even provide your Zhang Family with resources."

He glared coldly at Chen Xiao. "As for you... crawl over here and then between my legs! I might let you live if you do."
