Granting You a Second Life 85 Lost Opportunity

Director Zhang sighed: "I didn't realise that Li Yu Yan had such a character. I thought she was a gentle and shy young lady with a mild temperament. Everyone always speaks so highly of her."

Elder Huang: "They both shed their fake skins and revealed their inner selves. Is she really going to become a doctor?"

Director Zhang sipped his tea and nodded: "I don't know whether she'll become a doctor but she has been admitted to medical school. Technically this was a private family situation.. All medical students and doctors are entitled to have a private life and they are humans with personalities too. Some are bound to have less than desirable personality traits than others."

Elder Huang: " I feel fearful for the future of our healthcare system. Dr. Li How could you put up with this situation for so long? They were constantly using you and trying to exploit your skills just because they're your family. "

Li Xiuying put down her cup and quirked her eyebrow: "Like the both of you?"

Director Zhang and Elder Huang began coughing to hide their embarrassment. They had clearly forgotten that they had both tried to exploit Li Xiuying just because they had a connection with the Li family.

Director Zhang said: "Dr. Li I would like to apologize for..."

At the same time Elder Huang said: "Dr. Li I apologize for the situation..."

Li Xiuying stood up: "Actions speak louder than words. Thank you for your time."

Li Xiuying then walked out of the room leaving the two embarrassed elders behind.

Coffee shop Unity Hospital

Li Mei Wu and Li Wenyan were having coffee downstairs. They were both chatting away happily and thinking about what they would do with Li Xiuiyng.

LI Mei Wu: "She needs to be re-educated about life. I'm going to teach her a lesson that she'll never forget. In fact when I'm done with her she'll think her first name is morals and her surname is values!"

Li Wenyan: "Sister-in-law you're absolutely right to do so. She needs to learn to respect her elders. Her greed has clearly blinded her. You and Ge have done so much for her all these years. You've clothed her, fed her, gave her a roof over her head. Her nature is clearly majorly flawed."

LI Mei Wu nodded in agreement. She looked at her phone screen. She started to feel a little worried that Li Yu Yan and Li Na still hadn't come back after several hours.

Li Mei Wu: "Why aren't they back yet?"

Li Wenyan spoke confidently: "Don't worry so much. Our Li Yu Yan would never suffer a loss. Li Xiuying is probably writing her resignation letter as we speak. The administration procedure may take up some time. "

Li Mei Wu relaxed once again. 'That's right, how could her beloved daughter ever suffer a loss especially from someone spineless like Li Xiuying.'

It was at the moment when LI Mei Wu was internally praising her daughter that Li Yu Yan and Li Na mindlessly walked over to their mothers. They both were pale and looked lifeless.

Li Mei Wu looked up and when she saw her daughter's state she was panicked. "Yu Yan what's happened? What's wrong? Why do you look like this?" She pulled Li Yu Yan to sit down.

Li Yu Yan just sat there staring into space.

Li Na burst into tears. She clutched her mother and sobbed on her shoulder.

Li Na was full on unresolved feelings. She felt hatred, humiliation, anger and regret: "Mommy it was that B***h Li Xiuying. She ruined us. She's so evil. What did we ever do to her for her to treat us like this?"

Li Mei Wu didn't even care that she didn't know where Li Xiuying was. Li Mei Wu stood up abruptly from her chair: "I'm going to teach that slut a lesson! Why didn't you call us? Why did you allow her to reduce you to state?"

Everyone in the coffee shop immediately turned to look at Li Mei Wu wanting to see a show.

Li Yu Yan grasped her mother's arm and weakly spoke: "Mommy no. You can't."

Li Mei Wu: "Why can't I? Do you think I'm going to let the stupid slut off?"

Li YU Yan tightened her grip on her mother's arm: "Mommy, she's with director Zhang and Elder Huang."

LI Mei Wu: "Do you think I care about director Zhang or elder Huang?! Who are they? What can they do to me? Now don't try to stop me anymore."

Li Yu Yan: "Director Zhang of Northwest University."

Li Mei Wu stood still and looked down into her daughter's eyes: "Northwest University? What is director Zhang doing with Li Xiuying? What's going on?"

Li Wenyan looked around and found that everyone was staring at them: "Sister-in-law I think we should go home first, this place isn't appropriate. The girls can tell us what happened in detail once we get somewhere with more privacy."

The Li Family quickly left the coffee. Li Mei Wu and Li Wenyan supported their daughters out. Li Na continued to sob as she walked. They all rushed home and away from prying eyes.

Li Family Residence

As soon as they returned home the Li women entered the living room, they kicked out all the staff and closed the door behind them.

Li Yu Yan and Li Na slowly began recounting what had occurred; from entering and talking to the receptionist to being shuttled around the hospital like unwanted cargo and culminating in their suffering at the hands of Li Xiuying.

Li Mei Wu and LI Wenyan listened to their daughter's. The frowns on their faces deepened the more they heard.

Li Mei Wu: "Yu Yan how could you behave in such a way? Especially since there were others present. Why didn't you ask who the elders were? Haven't I taught you better than that?"

Li Yu Yan kept her head down and didn't answer.

Li Yu Yan had thought of asking who the elders were but in her mind she already concluded they couldn't be anyone important. When Li Xiuying was living at the Li residence she only met with patients that the Li family allowed. Li Xiuying was never permitted to meet with patients that had influence and/or money.

So Li Yu Yan would never have expected Li Xiuying to have such powerful contacts. After all no one actually wanted to know Li Xiuying they just wanted her skills.

Li Yu Yan had tried her hardest to remain calm when faced with Li Xiuying but how could anyone remain calm when they were constantly being played with by the person they detested the most in the world? Her ability to see reason was clouded by her rage. Li Xiuying had constantly attacked Li Yu Yan's sore spots.

How could Li Yu Yan remain gentle when the person she thought of a lesser being was taunting her and stepping out of her bounds? Li Yu Yan thought of Li Xiuying as her personal slave. How would any master react when their valuable slave decided to revolt?

To her Li Xiuying was a tool to use whenever she wanted. Li Xiuying was Li Yu Yan's means to build contacts, have a constant inflow of income; her ticket into medical school and her stepping stone to become a rising star in the world!

Li Mei Wu: "Is the admissions letter even real?" She opened the letter and read the contents.

Li Yu Yan nodded. "It came personally from Director Zhang."

Li Na sobbed: "Mommy I could have become a Huang! Xiuying ruined everything. How could she be so cruel?"

Li Wenyan: "She ruined my Na's future!!! We can't let her get away with this!"

Li Wenyan was so angry that her opportunity to climb the social ladder had been taken away by Li Xiuying. Her daughter would have married the grandson of the CEO of World Bank! They would never have to be dependent on her brother and sister-in-law again.

Li Wenyan became more enraged when she thought about the lost opportunity: "We have to destroy her! Completely and utterly destroy her so not even a single hair remains! We need to return to her what she's done to the girls tenfold."

Li Mei Wu spoke with malice in her voice: "We can't let Li Xiuying continue the way she is. She's become completely disobedient and uncontrollable after tasting freedom."
