The Fated Encounter-2
My phone has not stopped ringing. My mother is constantly calling. I have put it on silent mode. I don't want to leave the hospital before confirming that the unknown man is stable and I also don't want her to scold me. I, Xuan Nuwa will not be able to take it. I respect her for the fact that she gave birth to me but if she crossed the line this time, I will also be forced to do the same.

"Aiyo, where is this girl? Is this what I have taught her to stay out for whole night without informing anyone? She should have atleast informed us where she is. She is way too spoiled by her father and today I will set both of them straight." A furious Ruan Qiya rants to her elder daughter Xuan Wang.
"Mother, don't say like that. Our Wan is not like that. This is the first time she has not answered your call. Maybe she is out with her colleagues." Xuan Nuwa tries to placate the situation while in reality making Ruan Qiya more furious by reminding her the fact that Nuwa has not even answered the phone.
"This girl is getting out of hand. I need to fasten up setting her and Jian Yuan up. Seeing her going astray, it is better to set her up before she spoils herself." Ruan Qiya humphed while chomping on pecans.
"Jian Yuan is decent. He has a house, a car and is earning sufficient to lead a comfortable life. She will definitely lead a easier life with him and its good for us that in dowry he is willing to give us his old residence and a million yuan." Xuan Wang tries to steel her mother's conviction to set her younger sister with Jiang Yuan.
If Jiang Yuan has been richer and a little more than average looking, she would have consider him for herself but now she will not do so. As she wants to live a luxurious life on her husband's money. She wants someone who is handsome and is definitely a second-generation heir. It would be okay if he is not handsome as long as he is filthy rich and a part of elite-society.
It's not that we are not rich but we are not yet part of the elites. We are what you call the well offs dangling somewhere below privileged. Father, is a mid-level manager at Xue Conglomerate- which can be considered among top 50 organisations of country C but the reality strike in when you know he is still a salaried employee. The same is the case with my brother. And as far I am concerned Xuan Nuwa is just a everyday employee.
And that too she able to get due to influence of my father otherwise who nowadays hires someone who has graduated from the country based university only when you have abundant graduates from reputed universities from foreign.
And by judging the type of the clothes she wear she is not faring too well. She tried to show to the family that is independent and all when she refused to take money from my father but now by judging the situation she is not faring well.
"Mother, Xuan Wang wants to buy the newly released birkin bag. You need to persuade father to fork out some two hundred thousand yuan." I seeing the situation in my favour strike when iron is hot.
"We will be getting a million from Jiang Yuan, you can have your share from it. Aiyo, wangwang for that you will need to help me pursuade little Nuwa and your Father." Mother agrees for letting me have money, now I will also flaunt my new buy to all my friends and especially to that Bai Ching. Hmph, just because her father is a lowly and corrupted goverment official she flaunts it as if she is the daughter of Zhang Family. It will be slap in the face of that white lotus.
"Yes mother. As it is best for my sister I will definitely help you in persuading father. She cannot get any better proposal than Jian Yuan. And she should show you some more respect for finding such a good proposal for her."
"Hmph. That wretched girl should definitely learn from you. That's why you have more proposal to choose from as you have higher EQ than her. She does not even know how to behave in front of elders and how to show her parents familial piety. If she does not improve her mannerism she will definitely face problems in her married life." Mother was so distressed over Xuan Nuwa.
" Mother, you need to take care of your health. Don't think too much about all these matter now. I will ask the chef to cook some bird-nest soup for you. You need to take care of yourselves."
" If only that girl is this caring for her parents. You are perfect for being lady of some elite household. Wangwang, you need to find someone from the elite class. Someone from Xue family or Mu family will definitely do." Yes mother, I will definitely find someone from elite class only and be a madam of rich family.
"Aiyo, I am so forgetful nowadays. I have a invitation for the party held for 25th birthday of eldest son of Mu Family. You can go in my place."
"Mother cares for Wangwang best. I will definitely make an impression on everyone and make you proud." I squeal in delight at the prospect of catching the eye of some rich heir.
"I know you will. Now hurry up, you will have to look your best." I agree with her and with that I am off to make a entrance to the talk of town celebration.
Rumours are also that someone from Zhang Family will also attend the celebration. This is my chance to shine brighter than a phoenix.

It has been seven hours since the unknown man was admitted to the hospital. He has been in operation theatre from last six hours.
Hopefully, he will be alright. Buddha, help him. I will definitely go for your service next month. I have tried asking the on duty nurses but they were not of any help to me. I will only be able to know his condition when the doctor's come out of OR.
How will his family be feeling when he has not returned home? They will definitely be worried to death. I don't even have a way to inform them. The first thing after making sure he is fine, I will do will be to inform his family.
Thankfully, I have left a message for my father conveying the situation to him and he has responded that he will be coming to hospital for lunch so that in the mean time I can go home and come back later.
