Granting You a Second Life 80 Clearly The Enemy

Li Xiuying knocked on private room six.

Female voice: "Come in."

Li Xiuying entered the room. Two teenagers were currently unpacking the contents of their luggage all over the bed and floor. They were arguing about who gets which bed.

A middle aged couple who were most likely their parents were trying to curb the teenager's incessant squabbling.

There were two other people in the room picking up the clothes and items around the room.

Middle aged woman looked towards Li Xiuying: "Hello, may I help you?"

Li Xiuying: "I'm Dr. Li I'm here to discuss the details regarding the operation tomorrow."

Middle aged woman assessed the woman in front of her: "Welcome Dr. Li. Are you doing the initial assessment before your senior comes to review our boys?"

Li Xiuying: "I'll be the one performing part of the operation."

Middle aged woman had a look of horror on her face: "Do they let junior members of staff just operate on patients without any supervision? How many operations could you have possibly done in your short career?"

Middle aged man: "Calm down honey. I'll call father now and inform him about this situation. I don't think he would have come to this hospital if he knew of the situation."

The middle aged man took out his phone to call Elder Huang. While he waited for his father to pick up he spoke to the boys: "Don't continue unpacking. We'll be going to Emerald hospital. I'm sure we can convince Dr. Yang Zian to operate."

Elder Huang became anxious: "Hello, Qi what's going on? Is there something wrong with Fuhua? What about Liko?"

Huang Qi: "No they're both fine. Father I think its best if we have the operation at Emerald hospital they have a good reputation and also the highly renowned Dr. Yang Zian."

Elder Huang: "What's brought this on?"

Huang Qi: "A doctor who's clearly just fresh out of med-school said that she wants to operate on the boys. She said she doesn't even have a senior. Unity hospital is clearly a joke. Father I know you would want what's best for the boys so you won't object to going to Emerald. Besides as the boy's fathers I think I know what's best for them. We're going to pack up and immediately head over to Emerald hospital now."

Huang Qi expected his dad to be outraged at Unity hospital conduct and immediately agree.

Elder Huang: "Qi. Let me remind you that I am their legal guardian. You and your wife have been off gallivanting across the world for the last decade and left the boys behind like an afterthought. They will be having the operating at Unity hospital and the only surgeon I want operating on them is Dr. Li Xiuiyng."

Elder Huang was infuriated by his son and his attempt at playing a parent. Qi Huang and his wife had only returned to the country the day before yesterday and now they wanted to to control everything? If there wasn't an important meeting at the bank today, he would have been in Unity hospital.

Qi Huang felt the name Li Xiuying sounded familiar.

Qi Huang: "Are you The Dr. Li Xiuying? The Dr. Li that revolutionized the field of heart transplantation? You created an artificial valve that... "

Elder Huang: "Huang Qi stop making a fool out of yourself and apologize to Dr. Li. If you can't control yourself or you have a problem with my arrangements then get back on a plane and go find someone who cares." Elder Huang put down the phone.

Li Xiuying didn't bother saying anything.

Qi Huang cleared his throat awkwardly: "Dr. Li please forgive our earlier comments. We had no idea who you were."

Qi Huang's wife followed suit: "Dr. Li we apologize."

Li Xiuying paid no attention to these two people: "Huang Fuhua and Suen Liko I'm here to discuss the procedure with you both."

Qin Jingfei's office 3:50 pm

Inside the office is was as cold as the Antarctic. Little 4th hadn't spoken a word since lunch time.

Little 4th's phone vibrated it was message from Li Xiuying: "Waiting outside."

He walked to Qin Jingfei who was sitting at her desk and showed her Li Xiuying's message.

Qin Jingfei sighed at little 4th's antics. No matter what Qin Song did or said to make little 4th speak he remained an impenetrable fortress. He even refused to speak to her out loud because Qin Song was present.

Qin Jingfei: "Okay little 4th go ahead. I'll walk you out."

Little 4th put his phone away.

Qin Song looked up from his laptop and massive stacks of spreadsheets around him.

Qin Song: "Little 4th where are you going?"

Little 4th didn't even bother sparing a glance at his brother. He left the office and saw Li Xiuying waiting in the hallway.

Qin Jingfei couldn't believe her eyes. Little 4th morphed from a dragonling into a kitten in a dragon suit.

Little 4th said with yearning and happiness: "Big sister YingYing." He was worried that his big sister would be upset because of what happened earlier. What if she started to avoid at him because of his big brother?

Qin Jingfei: "Will you be dropping little 4th back later?"

Li Xiuying: "8 pm."

Little 4th stretched his hand out towards Li Xiuying. Li Xiuying held his hand and they walked away.

After they left Qin Jingfei turned to enter the office. She walked face first into Qin Song and stumbled back a little.

Qin Jingfei: "Song! Why are you lurking in the door way?" She rubbed her nose. She had no idea why Qin Song didn't go to his own office instead of camping out in hers.

Qin Song didn't say anything and just returned to his laptop.

....

Li Xiuying and Little 4th walked hand in hand through the main foyer.

Ren Daiyu shouted: "YingYing!!"

Little 4th immediately went on high alert! Someone else used his nickname for his big sister

Ren Daiyu enthusiastically made her way towards Li Xiuying and the little bun.

Li Xiuying: "Daiyu."

Ren Daiyu: "Hello little 4th it's nice to see you again."

Little 4th pouted: "Auntie, we are not so familiar you can't address me as little 4th."

Ren Daiyu found Qin Zhen amusing she spoke in a teasing voice: "I apologize my little master Qin."

Ren Daiyu: "Let's get a move on. We need to get our outfits for the date next week Friday. We can get the little master something as well. Is there anything else you want?"

Little 4th started to further dislike Ren Daiyu; she was taking his big sister on a date! She was clearly the enemy.

Li Xiuying: "Work clothes and shoes."

Li Residence

Across town at the Li residence Li Xiuying's real enemies were plotting away.

The Li family were currently brainstorming what they were going to do about Li Xiuying.

Li Wenyan: "I think we should all go down there. We should make her break off her contract with Unity hospital right away! Paying the cancellation fee is her first step to making amends to us. Did she even think about our family when she was signed her soul away to the enemy?"

Li Wang: "I don't think it's appropriate for all of us to go."

Li Yu Yan: "Daddy I completely agree with you. I don't think all of us should go and meet little sister It would make it seem like we were trying to overwhelm her with numbers. People might think that we were ganging up on her. It's important that we maintain our dignified image, some of those people could be our potential clients or colleagues in the future."

Li Na praised: "Sister Yu Yan you always think about the bigger picture! Any of those people in the hospital could go to emerald hospital as patients in the future. And it's definitely a possibly that they could become your colleagues when you become a doctor and change the world of medicine!"

Li Yu Yan humbly responded: "Na, you praise me too highly." Inside she was pleased that everyone knew of her potential.

Li Yu Yan: "Daddy, I would really like to go and see little sister if possible. I haven't seen her in so long and I'm missing her dearly."

Li Wang thought about it deeply. In the past Li Xiuying always did anything Li Yu Yan wanted. They always maintained a good sisterly relationship. Li Wang was still slightly apprehension as he thought about the engagement article.

Kuok Deming: "How about we send Li Yu Yan and Li Na to talk to Li Xiuying first. Sister-in-law and Wenyan can wait in the hospital and step in if Li Xiuying gets out of line. They can prevent the girls from being bullied by Li Xiuying."

Li Mei Wu: "Whatever happens we must ensure we don't fall into Li Xiuying's trap. She'll deliberately try to manipulate the situation in her favor just like she did with Li Na"

The Li family spent the next hour or so finalizing their plan.
