Chapter 29: Coping 5

At the Breakfast Room: 

Li Xiu Ying was seated at one of the tables with the breakfast served to her when Liu Ho Ran opened the door. 

"Good morning, Mistress," he said while bowing to her "Master called and asked for you to wait for him".

"What time will he be here?" she asked "I have an appointment today and I can't be late" she added while looking at her watch. She was worried that she would not be able to arrive on time for their hearing at the hospital.

Liu Ho Ran was about to reply when the door suddenly flew open and Zhang Wei appeared, looking dashing in his suit.

"Good morning, my love," he said while walking toward Li Xiu Ying, and then suddenly, he placed a quick kiss on her lips. 

She blushed after the chase kiss, "What are you doing?" she softly said to him. 

"Just greeting you a good morning" he smirked while he sat beside her. 

He then motioned for his tea and looked at her, "Let's eat breakfast first" She was about to protest but he added, "I'll make sure that you'll arrive at your hearing on time". 

After hearing that, she started picking food but barely ate due to the nervousness she was feeling. She couldn't place where the stress was coming from if it was from the upcoming hearing or his proximity to her.

After their breakfast, Zhang Wei handed her a paper bag that contained clothes. "Wear this to your hearing," he said while helping her to stand up. 

Li Xiu Ying didn't have a choice as he was gripping her hand tightly. When they arrived at his room, he motioned for him to go to the bathroom to change her clothes. 

Jin Medical City

Li Xiu Ying, Zhang Wei, and Liu Ho Ran arrived at the Jin Medical City, 15 minutes before the hearing started. She was shocked when a lawyer approached them when they arrived at the lobby of the hospital. He introduced himself as Lawyer Chien who will represent her. She was about to ask him about this lawyer, but he looked at her and signed to keep quiet. 

When Li Xiu Ying was summoned to the conference room where the hearing would be held, Zhang Wei and Lawyer Chien also stood up to the shocked of one of the lawyers of the hospital. 

"Excuse me, but we only invited Ms. Li Xiu Ying since this is a private hearing" the lawyer added. 

"Hi, I'm Lawyer Chien, I represent Ms. Li Xiu Ying and this is her fiance, Mr. Zhang Wei" he introduced himself briefly "We would like to be part of the hearing as this is part of her right," he added seriously like he will not accept any arguments. 

When they entered the room, they saw 8 people sitting on a very large rectangular table, Li Xiu Ying was motioned to sit at the other end of the table, while Zhang Wei and Lawyer Chien were asked to sit on her right side. 

"We will start the meeting in a few minutes," said the lawyer who summoned them earlier "We are just waiting for the Director to arrive" Then he proceeded to touch his phone seemingly sending a text message to someone. 

While the rest was waiting, Zhang Wei, looked at the people individually as if he was memorizing their faces. He stopped when he saw the head nurse who betrayed her love. 

It's been an hour since they were summoned to the conference and till then the hearing has not started yet. Suddenly the lawyer spoke and said "I apologize, everyone, I could not contact the Director, we will reschedule the hearing for another day. Thank you, all for your understanding." 

Zhang Wei stood up held Li Xiu Ying's hand and said "There will be no next time." he said "I bought this hospital already, My council which will be led by Lawyer Chien here will conduct another investigation, this time it will be impartial. We are determined to find out, the truth behind the smear campaign on my fiance's name". he added stopping his gaze at the head nurse. 

Suddenly Lawyer Chien spoke, "I'm expecting cooperation from you Attorney looking at the lawyer leading the hearing. My team is outside and we will be gathering all the paperwork and pieces of evidence you were able to gather". 

After he spoke, 4 men entered the room, bowing their heads to Zhang Wei and Li Xiu Ying. 

Zhang Wei, whispered something to Lawyer Chien and proceeded to pull Li Xiu Ying outside the room.
