63 Tears of Anguish (1/2)

A few moments of oppressive silence later, there was a knock at the door.

Li Xiuying turned to the door and saw E.

E looked between Dr. Li and Jiang Huan and felt something was off: ”Dr. Li, Miss. Jiang I'm sorry to bother you both, am I interrupting something?”

Li Xiuying slowly contained her hatred and returned to normal. Jiang Huan finally calmed down when Li Xiuying returned to normal.

Jiang Huan made a mental note to never, ever, ever get on the wrong side of Dr. Li.

Li Xiuying: ”No.”

E spoke with a voice full of hope: ”Dr. Li I just want to thank you again for allowing me to attend your theater list. I was wandering if I could shadow you again?”

Li Xiuying nodded: ”Turn.”

E had a confused look on his face, but spun around anyway.

Li Xiuying quirked a brow at E.

Jiang Huan: ”Pfffftttt”

E was confused by both Dr. Li's and Jiang Huan's reactions.

Jiang Huan finished laughing and finally took pity on E: ”Dr. Li meant that you have to wait for your next turn. Those who haven't yet had the opportunity to shadow Dr. Li will have priority. If you tell me what specialty you're interested in I can put your name down for the next available spot. I will email you a confirmation and page you on the day to confirm.”

E went bright red with embarrassment. He wished the floor would swallow him whole.

I'm an idiot. A complete idiot.

Li Xiuying stared at E who was wallowing in self pity. She thought he was very odd.

E continued to stand in his spot throwing himself a pity party. 'Is Dr. Li thinking about taking me off the list for teaching?! I should have just emailed Jiang Huan, why did I think it was better to have a face-face conversation?!'

Jiang Huan saw E standing with a cloud of gloom hanging over his head.

Jiang Huan helped E once again: ”Do you want to come over to the computer? Dr. Li was on her way out when you arrived.”

E felt mortified: ”Oh! I'm so sorry Dr. Li.” He then quickly shuffled into the room and stood on Jiang Huan's right hand side.

Li Xiuying walked out of the office. She began thinking about the Chen family and subconsciously surrounded herself with armor made of hatred.

Li Xiuying knew that the Li and Chen Family would have an urgent meeting after the news article was released. The Chen family wouldn't want to lose her as their money making operating machine.

The Chen Family were manipulative and calculating. Unlike the Li family, the Chen family had the ability to see the bigger picture. If the Li family were left to their own devices, they would immediately rush to Unity hospital and put on the act of a loving family and try to guilt her into going back with them.

It was definitely the Chen family that quelled the Li family's recklessness and impulsivity. Even so, Li Xiuying was puzzled about why Chen Meng would contact her instead of Li Wang.
