68 If a Dog Bites You (2/2)
Li Na continued: ”You can't even respond can you? Do you finally feel shame and guilt because of your actions? Call the bank right now and have all the cards reinstated and then we'll forgive you and pretend this little incident never occurred. After all we're not heartless like you; a person who is able to completely forget about their own family.”
Li Xiuying: ”I've never made anyone an additional card holder of my personal account.”
Li Na: ”Well of course you wouldn't with your level of selfishness would you even think about us! It was uncle who took the initiative to add our names to your...” Li Na stopped in her tracks she realized she had made a huge mistake. She had been too worked up and spoke before thinking.
Li Na could hear the gasps and whispers of the staff around her.
”Did you just hear that? They added themselves to Dr. Li's account without asking her!”
”She was filled with such righteousness after committing fraud?!”
”With family like that who needs enemies?!”
”How shameless! Did you see how she treated that elderly lady earlier?”
Li Na panicked after hearing people criticize her and take Li Xiuying's side.
Li Na screeched: ”Stop twisting my words! You wretch!”
LI Xiuying stood up from her chair.
Li Na took a shaky step back: 'Is this really the Li Xiuying I know?'
All the staff held their breaths waiting for Li Xiuying to explode with anger.
L Xiuying spoke in a cold detached voice: ”Li Na I would like to bring a couple of things to your attention. I am older than you by 3 years., yet you show me no respect. My parents left a sum of money to whoever became my guardians in the amount of several million and I have been working since I graduated from medical school. I purposefully broke off my engagement so Chen Wei and Yu Yan could finally announce their relationship in public. My new contract provided me with more conveniently located accommodation. Additionally, I didn't want Yu Yan and Chen Wei to feel awkward when discussing their engagement and wedding plans. It is my choice where I work and I didn't want to work at the hospital that the family of my ex-fiancé own. Lastly, no one has a right to the funds in my personal account without my knowledge or consent.”
Li Xiuying addressed all of Li Na's claims with stone cold facts. Li Xiuying had purposefully chosen not to openly attack Li Na.
This was for three reasons 1. She wanted to maintain her dignity and not appear merciless in front of staff members and patients 2. By using this method she was able to explain herself and indirectly shed light on the characters of her so called family thus winning the crowd over. 3. At this moment in time Li Xiuying wanted to deal with Li Na in a way that required the least energy.
To Li Xiuying, Li Na was nothing more than a yapping dog and if a dog bites you would you bite it back?
Li Xiuying: ”B summarize the actions of Miss. Li Na in regards to my bank account in one word.”
B responded without a second's hesitation: ”Illegal”
Li Na: ”What are you talking about? Firstly, you even went and opened the account with uncle. Secondly, Uncle and auntie treated you like their daughter. It's only right that a child gives their
salary to their parents to help with expenses!”
Li Xiuying: ”Mmm, I don't believe that you give your salary to your parents?”
Li Na spoke in a mocking voice: ”Why would I give my salary to..?” Li Na fell into Li Xiuying's trap yet again. Li Na was too impulsive in nature and easy to manipulate.
Li Xiuying: ”Miss Li Na. Your noisy, factitious and erroneous monologue is not conducive to patient recuperation. Please leave.”
All the staff looked at Li Na with varying degrees of contempt, disgust and pity.
Li Na stomped her foot on the ground like an angry toddler. She had never been treated in such a manner before. She was always treated like a princess wherever she went.
What Li Na failed to understand was that she was pandered to only because she was riding on the coattails of someone else. Li Na no longer had the backing of Li Xiuying's money.
Li Na: ”Just you wait until I tell Auntie and uncle about this!”
She spun around and stomped away in a huff.
Li Xiuying sat down in her seat: ”Present”
