"I am not losing to Xiaomeng," she stated resolutely and opened the door with a faint smile on her lips.

"Who is..."

​​

"I am Yu Yan, a general surgeon in this department," She quickly introduced herself even without the woman completing her question, the wide and enthusiastic smile on her lips caught the woman's attention, she smiled at how lovely the lady looks...but who is she?

"Godmother...." Xiaomeng walked closer to Mrs Chen and linked arms with her while the woman smiled elegantly seeing her goddaughter being close with her.

"She is the most skilled and beautiful general surgeon in this hospital, I am sure you can also see that..." Xiaomeng introduced with a friendly look on her face while she fixed her eyes on Yu Yan who had a panicky look on her face, they all couldn't understand what her intentions are.

"Beautiful...I can really see that," Mrs Chen remarked, maintaining the elegant smile on her lips, on first sight, she noticed how beautiful and well-shaped Yu Yan looks but she didn't want to praise her...not on first sight.

"But she is also best friends with An Ke, Li Chen, Ji Chen and.....oh, do you know Jia Yu from the Jia family," Xiaomeng paused to let her godmother think first.

"Jia family...isn't that the family that manages the Chen and Jia conglomerate?"

"Yes, she is very close with her in fact, they are like sisters, she is also well familiar with C.h.e.n. K.a.i," she made sure to stress her familiarity with Chen Kai, she knew just what she was doing, she would make sure to use her friendship with these people to turn Chen Kai's mother against her.

"Chen Kai...How do you know my son?" she asked, reducing the curve on her lips, any girl who is close to her son must be closely scrutinized first, she has never allowed just any female close to her son and all those who have managed to get close to her son has always been eliminated by her.

"He...I, we are in a,"

"We went to the same university, Chen Kai was in the same class as her and they always contended for the best student award, she is the one who won the best graduate award for the medical department of Peking University," An Ke quickly interjected before Yu Yan could reveal their relationship, Yu Yan widened her eyes to argue with An Ke using their eyes contact but she nodded her head, she decided to go along with An Ke's act....for now.

"Oh, so you are that girl, I was wondering who managed to beat my son to the award, I didn't think it would be a girl as beautiful as you, I am quite impressed seeing you have both the beauty and brains. You are my typical daughter-in-law," the woman blurted out the last sentence without even thinking, she smiled awkwardly when she realized what she had just said while Xiaomeng frowned deeply, Yu Yan was surprised to hear her say that but she was elated beyond question.

"Actually I am Ch...."

"Yu Yan is also the goddaughter of the Jia family," An Ke stressed, interjecting her again, they needed to bring out all her good point before she is introduced as his girlfriend, Mrs Chen didn't even notice how simply she was dressed, all she could see before her is an elegant and beautiful lady who has broad connections but the question still lurked in her mind...What family is she from?

"What family are you from? I have met all of them before in our gatherings and parties but your face...I have never seen," she inclined her head towards her shoulder with a quizzical look on her face but they froze at the mention of the question, they have brought out her good points but now---

Mrs Chen looked around when she wasn't getting any answer from Yu Yan who seemed to be spaced out, she saw that An Ke and Li Chen also had the same look so she was about to ask again but she didn't need to...

"Godmother, she is---"

"Mrs Chen, I have something important to discuss with you," Mrs Nanjing who appeared from nowhere announced, they released the breath they have been holding as soon as the team leader entered the room.

"But...." Xioameng complained

"Goddaughter, I will speak to you later, it seems like what your team leader has to say is really urgent," she tapped her and unlinked their arms then she went out with the team leader, Xiaomeng stomped her foot on the ground and returned to her seat.

"That was so close," Li Chen remarked, with his hands on his chest.

"I felt my heart was going to burst the moment she asked that question, Yu Yan, I was really terrified, she looks so sweet and friendly but I can also feel her domineering aura, it is almost like she has a villain halo behind her when she walks," An Ke added as she returned to her seat, but Yu Yan still didn't like that An Ke didn't let her introduce herself as Chen Kai's girlfriend.

"Why didn't you let me tell her I am his girlfriend, I could have told her about it," Yu Yan complained as soon as she took her seat, she couldn't understand An Ke's motive but she could see that Li Chen seemed quite supportive of it.

"I did it for your sake, this sly bitch was trying to make you seem like a golddigger to your future mother-in-law," An Ke responded, glaring at Xiaomeng, even if Yu Yan doesn't understand what Xiaomeng's motive, she clearly understood what she was planning.

"You should be glad, what wealthy women fear the most is having golddiggers sticking to their sons, if she finds out that you are from a middle-classed family and yet you managed to come close to friends from prominent families, she will only think you are a leecher and parasite who is only after their money and connection...." she smiled slyly and leaned on her desk with her elbow on the table and her head resting on her hands.

"Xiaomeng....." Yu Yan muttered, it wasn't unbelievable that she would try to paint her a such a despicable person but she didn't think she would really go as far as doing that.

"That is not all, when she finds out that Jia Yu's parent recommended you as a general surgeon using the Han family name because the hospital management didn't want to employ a middle-class surgeon...." she nodded her head while clicking her tongue.

"You will be o.u.t o.f t.h.e g.a.m.e," She waited for Yu Yan pitiful expression but she didn't see any, rather, her blank look turned into a mocking gaze filled with confidence, she frowned at the sight of it.

"You have shown just how despicable and lowly you can be, you claimed that I am a middle class so I am not worthy of Chen Kai and all my friends but you are only jealous that you are not in my position, they were all your friends before they met me but because you cared too much about your wealth and status, you couldn't be friends with someone one like me but they didn't care about my status at all, you talk like you are the victim of the episode but you are not, the reality is that you drove everyone away from you," She stopped for a moment and nodded with a pitying look directed at Xiaomeng who clenched her fist tightly with her eyes widened and her lips pursed.

"If you are that jealous then change your view of life maybe then you might recover the friends you lost, I don't have time to listen to your crap," she picked up some charts on the table, she swept away the strands of hair hovering on her face then she walked out of the office.

"Now that is my girl..." An Ke remarked while their eyes followed Yu Yan as she left the office, it reminded her and Li Chen of why they so much wanted to be Yu Yan's friend.

"She is just too cool," Li Chen remarked with an idiotic smile but An Ke turned back to Xiaomeng who looked like she was going to scream in anger at any moment.

"In your F.A.C.E!" she stuck out her tongue and wobbled it before leaving the office with the charts in her hands.

"Xiaomeng, you are a friend I didn't want to lose in the past, we might seem like we don't care about you but we do, I, An Ke and Ji Chen, we are still your friends, if only you will abandon your prejudice towards Yu Yan,"

"Prejudice, how can you say that? She stole my friends, the man I love and you still say I am prejudiced towards her, Just watch..." she tightened her clenched and narrowed her gaze.

"I will destroy her confidence and destroy the one thing she cares about the most," she stood up and left the office in anger, she needed a secluded place to scream and vent her anger.

She has never been this determined to destroy Yu Yan as she is today.
