68 If a Dog Bites You (1/2)
Li Xiuying was currently waiting at the doctor's station for B to return from clerking a patient.
F had had arrived 10 minutes early and was sitting at the desk next to Li Xiuying.
Li Xiuying was looking on the computer at the list of arrivals.
Li Xiuying: ”Epigastric pain, differentials”
F :” Duodenal ulceration or rupture, pancreatitis, biliary colic erm I'm sorry I can't think of anymore.”
Li Xiuying: ”Anatomical structures.”
F: ”Do you mean what anatomical structures are in that area?”
Li Xiuying turned her head to look at F then frown for a brief second and turn back to the computer screen.
F felt even more anxious after seeing Li Xiuying's frown which her interpreted as meaning: So there are in fact stupid questions. What else could I have meant?
F: ”Well the liver and...”
Out of nowhere she heard a female voice screech her name ”LI XIUYING”
Li Xiuying slowly spun around on her chair to face the direction of the voice. Everyone also turned to face the shouting woman.
Li Xiuying watched as her cousin slowly stomped over to her. Her face was filled with anger and indignation.
Li Xiuying frowned. 'Today is a bad day.'
Li Xiuying looked coldly at Li Na who was now several steps in front of her.
B walked over: ”Dr. Li I've finished clerking the patient now....” He trailed off as he looked up from his clipboard to find a woman standing in front of Li Xiuying with her hands on her hips.
Li Na looked down at Li Xiuying. She felt disgust ever time she came face to face with this unwanted cowardly cousin of hers. No matter what she or others did to Li Xiuying, she would take it without question.
Li Na: ”How could you be so ungrateful? After everything auntie and uncle did for you, you sneakily ran away from home and signed a contract with a competing hospital.”
Li Na saw that Li Xiuying was still like a statue in front of her. She became angered that Li Xiuying wasn't reacting.
Li Na:” Auntie and uncle did everything for you. They took you in when no one else would. They clothed you and fed you. They put a roof over your head and made sure you were never in need of anything.”
The staff around the doctor's stations started whispering among each other.
Li Na smirked. She wanted everyone to see the true face of this cousin of hers.
Li Na: ”Just because Sis Yu Yan is now engaged to your former fiancé doesn't mean that you can just forget everything that your family have done for you. Sis Yu Yan is a better match for brother in law anyway.”
One of the relatives of a patient spoke out: ”Excuse me this is a hospital can you keep the noise down please?”
Li Na: ”Shut up you old hag. Did anyone ask you to make a comment? You're so old and you still don't know that you shouldn't interrupt a conversation that has nothing to do with you?”
The elderly relative: ”In all my years I've never seen such an ill-mannered person.” She returned to her seat full of indignation.
Li Na turned her attention back to Li Xiuying: ”Why are you looking at me like that? Have I said something wrong? I never realized you were such a selfish and ungrateful human being! You even cancelled all the family cards attached to your current account! I was trying to buy some herbal remedies for my sick mother when my card was declined.” Li Na was in fact trying to buy herself some designer clothes and was embarrassed by the staff for having her card declined.
Li Na's anger was further fueled by her memory of the jeering faces of the staff. She took the card out of her pocket and threw it at Li Xiuying's face.
Li Xiuying caught the card smoothly and glanced at it.' So this was the real reason Li Na was really here. '
Li Na was just using the guise of caring for her relatives as the reason for her anger. Li Xiuying knew that Li Na like everyone else in the Li family only truly cared about herself.
