A Vengeful Girl novel Chapter 59

As the Bugatti Veyron ran smoothly on the way back, Linda Xia remained silent in the front passenger seat.

While driving, Charles Mu turned around to ask her, "What's wrong? Are you unhappy?"

Linda shook her head, "No, but I don't think you should give him the money. When he got what he wanted, he would ask for more."

"I wasn't giving him money for no reason. Don't you wonder who told him about the hospital your mother was in?"

A smile lit up his face when he looked at Linda gently.

Charles's words struck a chord with Linda.

"It was the Xia clan. Well, my so-called father had promised me that he would transfer my mother to the best hospital for treatment if I agreed to marry you. But I didn't expect... "

"I don't think it was him. Linda, put it out of your mind. Now your mother is in the private hospital of our clan. Trust me. She'll receive the best treatment."

Charles Mu stretched out one arm to Linda and grabbed her hand, looking sincere.

"Holy crap, Charles, be careful with driving, OK? Put your hand back!"

Linda was really frightened by his sudden move and wondered if he was a road killer. Who drove with one hand?

"Don't you trust your husband's driving skill?" Charles Mu's eyebrow quirked up.

Linda gave him a cold stare, "I'm more inclined to believe that my life is fragile!"

Charles Mu still refused to take back his hand. Instead, he held Linda's hand firmly and drove on with the other hand, which Linda had found both funny and annoying in equal measure. She had no choice but to hold his hand towards his side. This enabled Charles Mu to react in time in case of any danger.

Sensing her little trick, Charles Mu put on a small and unobtrusive smile.

They didn't talk. Linda thought back on what Charles Mu just said

Reminded by Charles Mu, Linda also found the whole thing rather fishy.

First, and strangest of all, why would Derek Xie know which hospital Donna Xie was in?

Derek Xie never cared about Donna Xie except when he asked for money. Beyond that, he never cared whether Donna Xie lived or died.

Second, Johnson Xia had promised Linda to transfer her mother to the best hospital for treatment. Why would her mother end up in a dilapidated hospital?

Johnson Xia had no reason to to fool her.

Third, Derek Xie was addicted to gambling. But he only lost a few hundreds or thousands yuan every time. Tens of thousands at most. Why did he lose three hundred thousand yuan this time?

"Linda, stop guessing. We're going to talk over the engagement in your home tomorrow. Everything will be clear after we ask Johnson Xia."

It seemed that Charles Mu could see through her. Linda opened her mouth slightly and looked him over from head to toe with her lustrous eyes.

"Charles Mu, who the hell are you? Why do you always know what I'm thinking of?"

"I'm your man."

Back at home, Linda had dinner with Charles Mu. After what had happened, Linda didn't bother to eat out.

Paul came back one hour later.

"Young Master, My Lady. Everything is arranged for Mrs. Xie. Doctor Xu have checked her up. She's now in a stable condition."

"Okay. What about Derek Xie?"

"I gave him three hundred thousand yuan. Then I tracked him down when he left. He went to an illegal casino on the west street."

"Go on."

"I've check the casino. Its real boss is Vincent Zhou, son of the old butler of the Xia clan."

The man with gold-rimmed glasses? ... The man who brought her back from the Crown Club?

Charles Mu nodded slightly, "You had a long day. Go have a good rest."

After a slight bow, Paul left the room.

"i think Vincent Zhou worked for May Shen. It was probably the doing of May Shen again."

Linda slightly clenched her fist. May Shen. May Shen. Linda always took offence at this name.

"All right. Leave it for the moment. Just go to bed. We're going to the Xia clan tomorrow. Things will be clear then." Holding Linda's hand, Charles led her towards the bed.

Also feeling exhausted, she pressed her temples, "Okay. I'll take a bath."

"I'll go with you."

Linda was rendered speechless.

Charles Mu, of course, did not have his way. He was locked out of the bathroom.

Linda was awakened early next morning. She brushed her teeth and washed her face in a daze and then Bun started to apply makeup to her face.

After finishing the make-up, Bun looked at her with satisfaction. Bun turned around and asked Charles Mu who was working on the sofa, "Young Master, look at Lady Linda. Is she beautiful?"

Linda's skin was always soft and creamy. Now she wore a beautiful makeup and she looked even more gorgeous as if she were shining.

"Just so-so."

Charles Mu simply looked up and glanced at her with a faint smile in his eyes. Then he looked down at his laptop.

Charles Mu had to deal with all sorts of company businesses every day. What with the visit to the Xia clan, he chose to work at home today.

Charles Mu's answer instantly annoyed Linda. She sobered up immediately and gnashed her teeth in anger, "Asshole, try say it one more time!"

"Beautiful. Gorgeous! My wife is the most beautiful girl!" Charles Mu corrected himself immediately. His flattering face really astonished Paul and Bun.

When had Charles Mu ever talked to a woman like this?

He had always been aloof and countless women had tried to impress him and failed.

After applying some makeup to Linda, Bun made an elegant updo for her. Then Bun took out some dresses for Linda to choose from.

Linda chose a mid blue dress. She looked like a mermaid in the dress.

"Eh? Where's Lord Mu and Lady Mu?"

It suddenly occurred to Linda that their presence alone would not suffice for such an important event as engagement. All their parents are supposed to be there.

As luck would have it, a servant came in, informing the arrival of James Mu.

"Young Master, My Lady, His Lordship has arrived. He's waiting for you at the door."

"Okay." said Charles while putting on a trim suit.

Linda was a little spellbound when she stared at Charles who had a pointy nose and slightly pursed lips. His dark eyes gazed at Linda and she could feel his soft love.

Briefly, he's drop dead gorgeous!

"Linda? Don't stare blankly at me. I know I'm awesome." Charles Mu touched his nose with a big smile.

Bun also covered her mouth and tittered.

"... Go to hell!" Linda blushed and took up the pillow from bed to throw at him.

Linda put on a pair of white shoes with high thin heels. Charles Mu raised his arm and hold her in and then they stepped towards the door.

Leaning against Charles, Linda walked like a kitty. She put her hand on his waist and put all her weight on Charles deliberately.
