Ye Linlin heaved a sigh of relief as she walked out of the bank. She brought out her handkerchief and cleaned the invisible sweat off her face. Paying off a loan is a different type of freedom.
Now, she only had one thing which required her complete attention and that was getting into the most renowned culinary school in the country. Four Edge Culinary School is the best in the country and it was a bit hard to gain admission into a school which had a 52 percent acceptance rate. The only thing Ye Linlin could rely on was her grades which were beyond excellent. Ye Linlin was thinking about this when her phone rang.
"Hello...matron...what is it?"
"Linlin....it's Meimei...she fainted again" The matron replied frantically.
"OK...I'm coming" Ye Linlin quickly hung up and hailed a cab which took her to the orphanage where she grew up.
She quickly ran inside the building and saw her little sister lying on the bed looking very pale.
Matron Wang, the owner of the orphanage was sitting beside Ye Meimei looking tensed.
"Meimei" Ye Linlin said as she sat beside her sister while holding he hand. They were cold.
"I think we should take her to the hospital...it's getting worse." Matron Wang said as tears fell out of her eyes.
"We can't do that" Mrs Su who had been standing there with an irritated expression chimed in.
"We can't afford to pay for Meimei's surgery..it's too expensive...we just finished paying off a loan...we don't have that kind of money" Mrs Su added.
"Then what do you want me to do?...let Meimei die?" Matron Wang asked.
"I'm not saying that...if we waste all that money on Meimei then what about the other kids in the orphanage....how are we going to take care of them?" Mr Su argued.
"Let me worry about that..." Matron Wang said as she left the room.
Mrs Su turned to Ye Linlin
"You and just sister are just trouble" Mrs Su said angrily and went down to her office.
Her phone started ringing. She picked it up. It was her husband.
"I've been trying to call you, where were you?" Mr Su asked angrily.
"Relax....I was upstairs...that Meimei girl fainted again" Mrs Su answered.
"Tell me...did she signed it yet?" Mr Su asked, a bit jolly.
Mrs Su picked up a document from her table as she looked at it with a sullen expression
"No"
"What?!....what happened...didn't you tell me that Matron Wang was going to sign it?" Mr Su asked.
"She was...but Ye Linlin managed to pay off the loan...so Matron Wang didn't sign it" Mrs Su answered.
"Damn that girl....she always gets in the way....what am I going to say to Mrs Gu? Mr Su started panicking.
"I already told her that Matron Wang was going to sell the property...what am I going to say now?"
