A Vengeful Girl novel Chapter 44

Bun looked down at her phone, "It's 10:47, I can make it to the Mu's main house by 11:10 if we leave now."

"Let's go and get him back." Linda opened the door on her side and hopped into the passenger seat without any hesitation, and Bun immediately started the car.

The vehicle was roaring and dashing out of the underground garage.

Linda knew it was too unlikely to be a coincident. What were the odds that the Qis were suddenly invited over for dinner and that Charles Mu fainted right when he was about to go back to the villa. On top of it all, Amy Qi was the one who offered to take care of him.

Though everything was in a mess, Linda knew clearly she was right about this matter.

"My Lady, please don't worry. It's the Mu's main house, and His Lordship and Her Ladyship are there as well. I'm sure Young Master will be fine." Bun tried to make Linda feel better as she drove speedily.

She was worried to see Linda in a frown.

Linda then shook her head, "It's not like that. I was thinking about how we should do this when we get there. You know that your Young Master's mother is never fond of me, and I barely know his father. Besides, the Qis are all there as well."

Bun was smart enough to understand what Linda meant, "I know, My Lady. I bet it's all Amy Qi's doing. She wanna help Young Master? I'm afraid she wanna help herself to something else!"

"Hm" Linda was suddenly amused by Bun's words.

"Bun, you are so naughty when you talk dirty."

"Really? It's not quite dirty to me anyway. I bet you have no idea what they've been talking in the force, and I dare say you know nothing about being naughty, " replied Bun with a pouty smirk.

The car sped along on the road and stopped in front of the Mu's main house at 11:07, which was 3 minutes earlier than Bun's expectation.

Paul had been waiting at the door all along and finally felt at ease when he saw Linda and Bun getting out of the car, "My Lady, you're here.'"

"Yes, let's go and bring your Young Master home."

"I know where Young Master is. Should we just go straightly for him?" asked Paul.

"No, to the living room first. And tell the servants to find the Qis and the Mus, " answered Linda thoughtfully.

It was natural for Linda to show up here and take Charles Mu away as she was his bride-to-be, which could also send a message to the Qis, especially Amy Qi, that Charles Mu was not available.

And it might do harm to her image to her future father-in-law if she just broke into Charles Mu's room and took him away by force.

Linda had never met James Mu before. According to the gossips she heard form Bun, however, James Mu was in love with Linda's mother when they were young, and the betrothal was arranged by him.

So Linda hoped he was nothing like Violet Xing and he was on her side.

After all, if anyone should look after Charles, it should be Linda, his righful fiancee, and not this uninvited Amy Qi.

Paul knew the mansion well and led the way forward for Linda. There were a bunch of servants cleaning the mess after the dinner when they came into the living room.

"Mr.Zhang, please go find His Lordship and Her Ladyship, and tell them Lady Linda is here."

Due to Paul's prestige among the servants, the butler wouldn't dare delay and immediately sent two servants separately to the study and the garden for His Lordship and Her Ladyship.

James Mu and Bob Qi were indulging in their board game when the servant came to report, "My Lord, there's someone outside who claims herself to be Lady Linda Xia, the lady of the Xia clan."

James Mu paused doubtfully and wondered what brought that little girl here.

In fact, James Mu had tracked Linda down several years ago, and he had once secretly gone to see Linda in person when she was working in a cafe. However, the Xia clan had been acting indifferently about bringing her back home, so he decided to make the most of their financial crisis and give them a little push.

James Mu found it hard to look at the daughter of his beloved one suffering and did nothing.

"Fine, we'll come right away, " answered James Mu with a nod, and then he turned to Bob Qi apologetically, "Sorry, Bob, but my daughter-in-law is here. I'm afraid we have to do this another time."

Bob Qi was a man of the world and James Mu's loyal friend for years. Apart from that, he was also a father who knew how much his daughter loved Charles Mu, and that's why he spoke up for his own daughter during the dinner.

But he was a reasonable man who knew that he could never twist Charles Mu's arm and made him fall for his daughter.

There was nothing romantic going on between Charles Mu and Amy Qi throughout these years. Bob Qi felt so sorry for his daughter who had loved Charles Mu with all her heart, but there was nothing he could do to help. Nevertheless, whatever happened between the children would never spoil his years of solid friendship with James Mu.

"That's alright, let me go with you. But I'm afraid my wife won't be happy about this. You know how much she had always wanted your son to be her son-in-law."

In the garden of the Mu's main house, Two ladies were reclining on the longue with expensive facial masks on, enjoying the relaxation brought by two professional massage therapists.

Violet Xing and Amanda Zhang had not seen each other for years, and naturally they had so much to share, especially things about their kids.

"Violet, now tell me more about that betrothal with the Xia clan. You know how much our Amy has always loved Charles. And we surely can't let Charles fail her, otherwise it's impossible for us to be friends any more."

"Don't you know me, Amanda? I'm Amy's sworn mother, and I love her no less than you do. Speaking of the betrothal, it's His Lordship. He made a promise to his sweetheart back then. And now look at the mess we are in. I can't tell you how angry I am, but I can tell you that I will never allow that woman to become my daughter-in-law, not if I can help it."

Amanda Zhang then nodded with satisfaction, "I know you won't. You know what, now that the kids are alone in the room, are you thinking what I'm thinking..."

"I certainly am... Don't worry, I'll make sure that Charles won't turn his back on Amy this time..."

"Hahah."

They were having a good time planning to hook Charles and Amy up when the servant came to report, "My Lady, My Lady. Lady Linda Xia is here."

Violet Xing sprung up abruptly while removing her facial mask, and then she murmured in a frown, "What is she here for?"

Amanda Zhang then sat up as well. She seemed more upset than Violet Xing for she was worried that Linda was here to spoil the night, "What happened here? What's that skank doing here?"

Violet Xing, Amanda Zhang, James Mu and Bob Qi arrived at the living room almost at the same time.

Resting on the luxurious couch, Linda was gracefully sipping the tea served by the servants, with Paul and Bun standing behind her.

"My Lord, My Lady. Where is Charles? I'm here to pick him up."
