Chapter 20: Will you take this chance ?
Wang Yu Yan felt a motherly warmth in Madam Wen's attitude towards herself. She couldn't help but sign in her heart.
If my mother was alive would she also behave like Madam Wen thought Wang Yu Yan. Of Course she would all mothers love their children the answer popped in Wang Yu Yan's mind with the speed of light. Satisfied with the answer she showed a slight smile on her face but it disappeared like a butterfly flees when it feels that someone approaching afraid that it might get caught.
Wen Peng cleared his throat and said " Wang Yu Yan we are very thankful to you if not for you I don't know what would have happened to my daughter. If not for you we would have never known our daughter's true dreams ."
" He is right Yu Yan you have done too much for our family ." answered Madam Wen while tears in her eyes
" Mr and Mrs Wen I have done what anyone would do if he or she was in my place ." said Wang Yu Yan with small smile on her face.
" Wang Yu Yan we know that a mere thank you is not enough to express our gratitude. You can ask anything from us ." said Wen Peng
" Mr Wen please don't embarrass me by naming a price to my help .I had already told Wen Mei that my intention to help her was not because I wanted something for you. I am satisfied with what I have and I have no desire to acquire anything ." "B-But" Wen Peng was a little hesitant .
" Furthermore I cannot accept money that I didn't earn. But I am really thankful to you for this offer ." answered Wang Yu Yan with a expressionless face. Both Wen Peng and Zhou Shuang were taken aback by this answer. They had met many people who had helped them and taken their price happily but the girl in front of them was different from all of them.
Not only she helped them and kept it a secret but she also didn't name any price for it. Wen Peng had made up his mind that if Wang Yu Yan needed any kind of help in future he would help her without thinking twice. Just then a Madam Wen said " Um Wang Yu Yan I heard that you performed the surgery on Mr Long and also we have seen its recording so why are you just a nurse. Don't you think you are wasting your talent" asked Madam Wen as if she was a mother talking to her child regarding his future.
" When I was in my last year of school my family faced a crisis and my father died and so I didn't have the chance to enrol in a medical university." answered Wang Yu Yan as her voice was filled with regret. " And your mother?" asked Madam Wen with a soft tone .
" Oh she passed away when I was eight ." answered Wang Yu Yan. Just then Madam Wen felt like her heart was stabbed. She as a mother could feel the sadness filled in Wang Yu Yan's voice that no one else could. She felt extremely bad for Wang Yu Yan. During her important years there was no one beside her.
Just Wen Peng who was deep in thought said " Wang Yu Yan if you had the chance to be a doctor , Will you take it ?
" Yes Sure Mr Wen. But you know its not possible" said Wang Yu Yan with a confused expression on her face. " I can give you the chance. What do you say ?" said Wen Peng strictly with a serious expression.
" Mr Wen I have already told you that my help does not have a price ." said Wang Yu Yan.
" Its not a price Miss Wang. I am here as the CEO of Wen pharmaceuticals and as a doctor. I can't let your precious talent go in vain. Since you possess it you should be helping the society and the mankind." said Wen Peng as if he was signing a business deal. But his words had a hidden intention. He knows that Wang Yu Yan will not accept his offer if he gave her it as a price. He knows that this this girl in front of him has a sense of pride in her. She not like those people who could exchange their pride for money. It was acceptable by Wen Peng as he also was a prideful being. So he by this method was killing two birds with a stone. According this was the biggest help he could offer her which was to give her opportunity to fulfil her dream and second her impeccable talent was something he was consequently searching for but did not find it. And now that it has unfolded before him he can't let go. Deep down he knew that Wang Yu Yan can become a honest doctor who would do her job earnestly.
Madam Wen eyes lit upon hearing her husband's words. She said " Yu Yan Wen Mei's father is right. You have a talent that could be helpful to the mankind. Also you can fulfil your dream ."
Wang Yu Yan was taken aback by the words of Wen Peng. After the crisis in her family she gave up the dream of being a doctor. Though she wanted to be a doctor badly. But the talent they are talking about took away her father and her family's happiness. After much thinking she said
" Mr Wen I think I need some time to think about this ." answered Wang Yu Yan. Wen Mei who remained silent was a bit disappointed on hearing Wang Yu Yan's response. She tried to convince her friend " Wang Yu Yan what father said is right. This is a nice opportunity-" but was cut off by Wen Peng. He said " Its ok Xiao Mei I can understand. There is no need to rush. Wang Yu Yan you can take your time ." After his words the atmosphere became a little awkward. Sensing this Madam Wen said " OK Ok you all can discuss these thing afterwards. Lets order the food. Yu Yan and I am very hungry ." She shamelessly pulled Wang Yu Yan to her side.
To this Wang Yu Yan did not know whether to laugh or to cry. But she could feel Madam Wen's attempt to lighten the mood. The food arrived in the no time. The dishes were laid leisurely on the table. And so without any delay they all started to eat.
Wen Mei was still deep in thought about Wen Peng's offer when she felt that her bowl was getting heavy. She brought her face up only to see Madam Wen was occasionally keeping dishes in her and Wen Mei's bowl. Madam Wen noticed her gaze and her heart could not help but pinch for Wang Yu Yan. She made her expression soft like a mother and with a smile said to Wang Yu Yan " Yu Yan should eat more. Look how skinny you are ."
Wang Yu Yan felt this action very motherly. It warmed her heart. She with a bright smile said " Thank You Mrs Wen."
The smile made Madam Wen very happy but something was off " Aiya see this silly girl. She is still being so formal. Yu Yan is just like our daughter. Call us Aunt and Uncle ."
" She is right Yu Yan no need top be formal ." said Wen Peng softly satisfied with his wife's words. Wang Yu Yan could feel like she had some one to call her family now. She said " Ok Uncle and Aunt Wen "
Wen Mei also butted in " That's better .She is just like this m other. After we all this she still called me Miss Wen when we last met ." Wen Mei was in all mood to tease Wang Yu Yan.
" Ok Ok Xiao Mei stop bullying your friend. Let her eat ." said Madam Wen. " I was not bullying her mother. I was just having fun. This is not fair ." pouted Wen Mei.
This childish behaviour of Wen Mei made all the three burst into laughter. After which they chatted happily with each other Until Wang Yu Yan received a call from the hospital as their was an emergency. Wen Mei asked what happened and after listening she said " That's not fair we haven't properly talked yet ."
Wang Yu Yan gave a smile and said " I am sorry Wen Mei but I have to leave first ." She then turned to the Wen Couple she said " I am sorry Aunt and Uncle Wen but I have to go. Thank you for the meal. I should head out now ."
" Its Ok we understand Yu Yan ." said Wen Peng. " Don't over exert yourself Yu Yan" said Madam Wen as if she was talking to her own child .
