75 Bottomless Pi (1/2)
Li Residence
Li Na and her parents were pulling up outside the Li Mansion doors.
After the incidence at the hospital Li Na ran home in flood of tears. She cried out all her grievances to her parents. Her parents did their best to console Li Na.
When Li Na eventually calmed down. Li Na's parents couldn't contain their anger they decided to pay a visit to Li Wang. So he could resolve the situation.
Li Na and her parents walked up the steps to the front door. The maid was already stood at the door holding it open.
Li Na and her parents rushed through into the living room.
Li Mei Wu and Li Yu Na who were calmly drinking tea immediately looked up to see their irate family members.
Li Mei Wu: ”What's going on? Na why are your eyes so red and puffy?”
Li Na broke down in tears once more as she told Li Mei Wu and Li Yu Yan about the ruthless injustice she had suffered at the hands of Li Xiuying.
Li Na: ”I politely suggested to her that she should fulfill her filial duty to uncle and auntie. You were both so kind to her and have raised her all these years. But she disregarded everything I said. She said that uncle and auntie didn't do anything for her and were just trying to steal her inheritance.”
Li Mei Wu voice was a mix of shock and indignation: ”She said what?!”
Li Yu Yan held her mother's hand gently and spoke in a sickly sweet voice: ”Mommy don't be angry it will only cause your health to suffer. I'm sure Little sister didn't mean what she said. She's probably just going through a rebellious phase. How could she possibly forget everything that you and daddy did for her? You took her in when no one else would, you ensured she had a steady inflow of work and helped her make contacts. You had even arranged a marriage for her.”
On the surface Li Yu Yan's words seemed to be defending Li Xiuying but in actuality she was showing the extent of Li Xiuying's wrongdoings.
Li Mei Wu: ”That rebellious ungrateful wretch! After everything we've done for her! If it wasn't for us she would have been living on the streets. So what if she has medical skills without our backing no one would have hired her.”
Li Yu Yan spoke with sadness: ”It's so sad that little sister can't see everything that mommy and daddy have done and the sacrifices you both made.”
Li Wang walked through the doors of the living room at this moment.
Li Wang took in the scene before him. His wife was angered to the point the veins in her forehead were throbbing. His daughter's eyes shone with unshed tears and his niece had a red and puffy tear stained faced that looked like she had suffered severe injustice.
Li Wang addressed his sister and brother-in-law: ”What's going on here?”
Sister: ”Ge you have to get justice for my little Na. That stupid slut made a complete fool out of her.”
Li Wang sat down next to his wife: ”Who are you talking about?”
Brother-in-law Pan: ”Who else could it be except that ungrateful Li Xiuying?!”
Li Wang scowled at the mention of Li Xiuying's name: ”What's happened? Tell me everything from the beginning.”
Li Na began to recount her tale of woe to her uncle. Her story became even more exaggerated each time she told it.
Li Wang felt like he was punched in the gut. He clenched his fist and slammed it down on the arm rest of the sofa. ”How dare that little B**** remove us from the account!!!”
Sister: ”Sister-in-law is right! She's completely forgotten her family.”
Li Mei Wu also chimed in with righteous words: ”That's why they say carnal cravings are never satisfied and are the main obstruction on the path to enlightenment. As soon as Li Xiuying got the scent of money she became a bottomless pit of insatiable greed completely forgetting her filial duty.”
Li Na sobbed and hiccuped: ”And then uncle... she had two large security guards grab me and drag me out even though I was already leaving on my own. I was completely humiliated. How could she tell those men to handle me so violently?” She then cried even louder.
Sister: ”My poor baby girl has been completely humiliated! Has that Li Xiuying completely forgotten what family means?”
Li Wang scowled: ”Quiet.”
Li Na's sob immediately got caught in her throat.
Li Wang suddenly became anxious. He took out his phone and immediately called Chen Ma. After ringing countless times there was no answer.
He then called Han Liu.
Everyone in the living room watched Li Wang without making a sound.
Li Wang felt that something was wrong when he heard the automated voice. Usually platinum card members would go straight through to their selected adviser and bypass the automated menu. He repeatedly tried to enter the 8 digit security code but it was rejected.
Automated voice: ”To speak to one of our advisers please hold.”
Adviser:”Hello. How may I help you today?”
