Granting You A Second Life

Ren Longwei chocked on the words he was about to say.

He quickly followed up his earlier apology: "I wasn't suggesting an apology could make up for the way you've been treated. I'm Ren Longwei CEO and Heir to City Bank, please follow me to my office and we will give you a satisfactory response to this situation."

Li Xiuying: "Does the office contain a set of guidelines for dealing with this situation?"

Ren Longwei chocked again. 'This woman really knew how to make people speechless.'

Little 4th wriggled out of his mother's arms and stood next to Li Xiuying.

Little 4th was full of suspicion: "Why do you want to take my big sister YingYing to your office?" The man before him looked shifty.

Ren Longwei: "Well you see Little master I was inviting all three of you to the office, I was hoping to resolve this situation and help with anything that your... big sister wanted help with before this incident occurred." He was confused 'I thought Elder Qin only had 4 sons and Zhou FengMian was not yet married into the Qin family, so who is this woman?'

Madame Qin stood next to Little 4th. The trio stood looking at Ren Longwei.

Ren Longwei was just about to speak again when a voice from the entrance interrupted him: "I.."

Male voice: "Longwei what's going on?"

Ren Longwei swung around to the entrance. There were two well-dressed men in their '50s strolling towards him. Both men were wearing white shirts; one was wearing a navy pinstripe suit and the other was wearing a deep mulberry suit similar to the one Ren Longwei was wearing. It was a shareholder of City Bank; Zhang Renshu was in navy and the founder of City Bank and his father Ren Shirong in mulberry.

All the staff stood up straight: "Welcome Founder Ren and Mr Zhang."

Ren Longwei: "Father what brings you here?"

Ren Shirong: "Renshu and I were in the area taking care of some business and we both thought we could take you out to lunch."

Although, Ren Shirong was in his 50's he looked like he was only 40 at most. He had a handsome face and had a full head of well styled black hair.

Zhang Renshu eyed the group: "What's with all this trouble?"

Ren Longwei didn't know where to begin.

Li Xiuying: "A disagreement."

Ren Longwei forehead had three black lines. 'Disagreement?! Disagreement your sister!' There were four security guards knocked out and laying on their faces, a woman sobbing so hard she shook and a red-faced man who looked like he was bursting with anger. Manager Gao was also nursing his cheek looking aggrieved.

Little 4th spoke to the two men who just entered "Mister Grandpa's this auntie here" he pointed at Bao Ai.

Little 4th: "And the man behind her Yang An were stopping us from entering the bank, they called us trash and village bumpkins who only had pocket change. They insulted my mommy and big sister YingYing and pushed me onto the floor."

Little 4th: "My big sister YingYing only said a few words to them and they're behaving like someone stole their candy and toys. They just want sympathy and to make my big sister look bad. Hmph. They're just attention finders."

Li Xiuying: "Attention seekers."

Little 4th nodded: "Attention seekers."

By now all the customers had left and there were only staff members remaining.

Everyone: "..." All the staff was rendered speechless. They couldn't believe the little buns words. What "only a few words"? Those words were like poison coated bullets. Your big sister had taken direct shots at Bao Ai's heart making her into a blubbering mess!

Little 4th: "Oh and I almost forgot this manager person, he shouted at my mommy and big sister and said they were falling apples and old trees." Although the little bun had a high IQ he would sometimes still say things that were more in line with his age.

Zhang Renshu and Ran Shirong were watching the cute little bun as he animated told them his side of the events. They assessed Li Xiuying and Madame Qin aka the apple and tree.

All of a sudden Ren Shirong had a huge smile on his previously serious face: "Dr. Li Xiuying!" He jumped over to Li Xiuying.

Ren Shirong: "Xiuying do you remember uncle?!"

Li Xiuying just stared at the man's face 'Who is this excitable old man? Her father only had one brother'

Zhang Renshu: "Shirong who is this young lady?"

Ren Shirong: "Renshu this is the famous Dr Li I told you about. She's the one who operated on me after my car accident. She brought me back from the brink of death."

Ren Shirong: "Xiuying, uncle has been looking for you everywhere. You must come to lunch with me today it'll be uncle's treat. I won't take no for an answer. Please bring your family with you."

Ren Shirong was a little perplexed as he thought 'I thought Xiuying's parents had passed away and she was an only child. Didn't Xiuying reportedly live with her uncle and his family? Who are this woman and little child?'

Ren Longwei stood there confused. 'What's happening right now? Have I stepped into some weird alternate reality? This malnourished teenager is the famous surgeon Dr Li?'

Ren Shirong was absolutely ecstatic to see Li Xiuying. He literally owed this young girl his life.

Ren Longwei decided not to try and understand Dr Li's current state. He came forward with his phone which displayed the security footage from the foyer. The conversation which had taken place between the staff and Li Xiuying could be heard loud and clear

Ren Shirong looked at the tiny screen which showcased the suffering Li Xiuying had endured at the hands of his employees. He was annoyed at the nerve of Bao Ai, Yang An and Gao Fang. 'How dare they treat my savior in such a way!'

Ren Shirong: "Gao Fang, Bao Ai and Yang An stand in a line in front of me."

Ren Shirong faced the three people who had mistreated Li Xiuying: "All three of you are fired, City bank isn't equipped to deal with people of such high caliber as yourselves. We can't afford to start refusing clients. We value every customer who comes through our doors, whoever they may be and wherever they may be from."

Yang An: "Founder Ren we weren't at fault this woman..."

Ren Shirong: "Longwei get someone to escort these three ex-employees out. Give them their salary for the whole of this month."

Manager Gao: "Founder Shirong you can't do this! I've been working in City bank for 10 years, I've been loyal to this bank, I've worked hard! You can't do this to me?! You'll never be able to replace me!!!"

Li Xiuying looked at the screaming manager Gao from head to toe. She may never have personally gone shopping but she had been subjected to years of gloating from the Li Family. Li Yu Yan and Li Na in particular always took any opportunity they could to display their luxury items bought with Li Xiuying's money.

Li Xiuying channeled her inner catalog: "Your vintage Leben watch $550k, the suit is a Paul Zixin original worth $500k, Paul Zixin shirt $5000, Diamond cuff-links $19986 and Emiliano Saverio loafers $8000. Totaling $1082986 or 7,380,549.59 yuan. "

Manager Gao turned pale 'was this woman a bar code reader?!'

Ren Shirong immediately knew what Li Xiuying was hinting at: "Longwei call your uncle and cousin and inform them about the situation. Ask them to head down here as soon as possible. Get the security guards to detain Gao Fang."

When Ren Shirong heard the total cost of Gao Fang's outfit his heart almost stopped beating. 'How could Gao Fang afford such things on his manager's salary? Such a large sum of money on just one outfit who knew the extent of his spending. It was almost certain that Gao Fang was embezzling money and committing some kind of financial fraud.'

Ren Shirong's older brother Ren Guotin was one of the most well-known lawyers in the country. Ren Guiton's daughter, Ren Daiyu was a public prosecutor.

Manager Gao was petrified and was filled with regret: 'Why didn't I keep my mouth shut? What if they find out about all the money I...?! I can't go to prison!!'

With the fear of prison fueling him, he made an attempt to escape. Just when he managed to get one foot out of the main door. The Qin family bodyguard hit him on the back of his neck and caused him to fall flat on his face.

Ren Shirong: "Xiuying lets go to lunch. Is this your brother and ..." He paused he didn't know what to call the old lady, the little bun called Li Xiuying big sister but he called the old woman his mother.

Li Xiuying: "No they're not. I still have to sort out some issues regarding my finances."

Ren Shirong: "Okay let's sort out your finances first. I'll call my best financial adviser to come down and then we can all go to lunch." The financial adviser he was referring too was currently on his annual leave and skiing in a resort some distance away from Beijing.

Li Xiuying: "No need, she'll do." She pointed at Mao Syà.

Mao Syà yelped in surprise: "What? Me!" She couldn't understand what was happening right now.

Li Xiuying: "Little 4th and Madame, please wait in the seating area."
