Chapter 241 -241: How did Mr. Wen break through the defense?
Wen Nianyou wore an expression of someone trying hard to remember, “The one who hit your wife was a young girl with long hair over her shoulders, quite pretty, tall and slim, dressed in a milk-white suit. Oh, right, her skin was very white, so white it practically glowed.”
Xu Bingwen furrowed his brow. Wasn’t she describing that strange girl who had just been looking for him in the banquet hall?
That girl, with a look of righteousness on her face, had told him his wife was in the hospital, and he had initially thought she had helped his wife.
Yet who could have expected that the very person who caused his wife to have a threatened miscarriage was her?!
Wen Nianyou knew he had connected Ye Chuyi to the incident, feeling a surge of triumph inside, but projecting a look of worry on her face. She even pushed Xu Bingwen and urged, “Don’t just stand there, go quickly. Go see her at the hospital; she definitely needs you right now. She was calling for you repeatedly just a moment ago!”
Xu Bingwen nodded, about to leave, but Wen Nianyou called out to him again.
“Mr. Xu!”
“What is it?”
“Would it be convenient for you to give me your phone number? I’m really worried about your wife’s condition; I’m afraid something might have gone wrong when I tried to help. If you leave me your number, I can find out about the follow-up.”
Without thinking too much, Xu Bingwen recited his mobile number to her, then walked over to wait for the elevator.
Behind him, the security guard was remarking in admiration, “Miss Wen, you’re as beautiful as you are kind-hearted. That pregnant lady was truly fortunate to have your help just now. It was dangerous for her, bleeding quite a bit. Weren’t you scared?”
“Not at all, I’m actually a doctor, just not an OB-GYN. I just hope that the lady and her child can both be safe!”
The elevator arrived promptly.
Xu Bingwen looked back, giving Wen Nianyou another nod of thanks before stepping in and leaving.
Wen Nianyou watched the elevator doors close again, pulled out a stack of cash from her bag, and handed it to the security guard, “Add this to the twenty thousand I gave you earlier, making it thirty thousand in total. All for just saying a few words. You were reluctant at first, how about it, don’t you think it’s worth it?”
Excitement tinged the security guard’s voice as he took the money, “Thank you, Miss Wen. This amount is half a year’s salary for me!”
Wen Nianyou snorted lightly, “Good to know. If he comes asking again, you know what to say and what not to say, right?”

“Of course, I understand. It was the pregnant lady you saved, no one else!”
“Smart man!”
…
Inside the banquet hall.
Taking advantage of Wen Nianyou’s absence, Ye Chuyi approached Wen Xingye.
“Mr. Wen, I didn’t expect to run into you here, and with your—friend.”
Ye Chuyi’s gaze landed on the girl, “If my memory serves me right, I believe I’ve seen your friend here before, right?”
Wen Xingye was on his guard, “How come you’re here? Are you following me?”
Ye Chuyi smiled sardonically, “What about you is worth following?”
“Then why are you here? An event of this scale requires a certain threshold for entry. You need to donate over ten million to get in. Don’t tell me, the daughter of a servant, like yourself, can pull out ten million.”
“Oh, is that so? The donation threshold is ten million? I honestly didn’t know.”
After all, Jungle had donated fifty million.
“It doesn’t matter how I got in. What’s important is how you got in, Mr. Wen. Did you donate ten million?”
“Ten million? That’s nothing. I donated twenty million directly. This banquet’s theme is to aid children who’ve dropped out of school. I always make a point to attend such charitable events!”
“Where did you get twenty million? Did you sell Lady Wen’s dowry again to pretend to be rich here?”
Wen Xingye’s expression turned exceptionally ugly, “What rubbish are you spouting? My money is all earned from my own business ventures! Stop spewing nonsense and leave me alone, don’t get in the way of my networking!”
Ye Chuyi looked at him coldly, “Why are you upset, Mr. Wen? You know whether your business ventures have made or lost money, don’t you? It’s widely known that you have no business acumen at all. You’ve sold off all of Lady Wen’s dowry and lost several billion.”
Wen Xingye, his face ashen with rage, grabbed his mistress and started to leave.
But Ye Chuyi caught hold of his other hand.
