A Vengeful Girl novel Chapter 60

Feeling that the girl was leaning closer and putting her weight on him, Charles Mu couldn't help laughing and he held her harder.

"What do you want?"

"I want to crush you to death." Linda whispered.

"Crush me? With your weak body? Stop dreaming. Try eating more every day and gain some weight. Then you may have a chance at that."

Linda's lips curved up, like a little crescent.

Men's sweet words are always pleasant to hear, but are never meant to be taken seriously. If girls really gained weight and became fat women, it's unlikely that men would still love them.

While talking glibly, they walked to the main door. It was a little hot today.

Tall trees grew in the garden without restraint. Linda felt better when branches shaded her from the sun.

Linda found that Charles Mu had changed a lot as he used to be frigid.

He was reticent even when talked to and he always refused to talk too much.

But now, Charles Mu even could be described as a chatterbox when he chatted with her. But Linda knew that he only treated her that way.

Linda had thought of her engagement to Charles Mu as ruining her chance at a happy life and she begrudgingly accepted her fate

She had thought of this engagement as a price that she had to pay in order to cure her foster mother and to avenge herself.

She thought her life was so helpless, destined for a bleak ending like a fallen leaf waiting to be turned into soil when spring came.

Surprisingly, a colorful flower sprang up where the leaf had rotted. Charles had deeply touched Linda beyond measure.

Arriving at the door, Linda looked into 【S600】. James Mu was sitting in the front passenger seat alone.

Huh? Violet Xing was not coming?

It seemed Violet Xing was still angry at her so much so that she even refused to come down to the Xia clan to discuss her own son's engagement.

Bun help Linda got into the car carefully. It's really troublesome to wear high-heeled shoes. Linda felt she couldn't even stand firmly.

After Linda and Charles got into the car, Paul got into the driving seat as well. Bun followed in and sat beside Linda.

Paul started the S600 and drove towards the Xia clan.

S600 ran steadily on the road.

"You look gorgeous today!" After the car started, James Mu turned around and squinted at Linda before making his compliment.

Linda was about to reply when Charles Mu cut in, "Dad, she's my wife. My compliments are all she needs."

"Hey, boy. Now you have a wife and you don't need a father, do you? How dare you talk to me like that?" Blowing up his mustache, James Mu felt depressed.

Inside the car was a joyous scene. Linda tittered as she found those two to be hilarious.

"Uh, Lady Mu isn't coming today?" Linda could not help but ask. She believed it was better if she could get blessings from parents of both sides for her marriage. She was not comfortable about the idea that her mother in law was not fond of her.

"Oh, Violet? She's been in bad mood lately. She's gone to the United States to relax herself."

"Oh, I see." Linda replied.

"Girl, don't blame her for not liking you. To be honest, I loved your biological mother when I was young. And you look very much like her. So Violet always thinks of your mother when she sees you."

When Bun gossiped about James Mu, Linda felt excited. But it didn't sound that interesting when she heard it from James Mu himself. "Oh, so Lady Mu is jealous of my mother."

"Yeah. But when I met your mother, I was still a little kid. We grew up together. Opposites always attract. Your mother looked so beautiful. It's normal that I liked her, isn't it? We had become friends since then for several decades. But we never had an affair. She had married your father and I was 28 years old when I met Violet... Well, I don't know what she's jealous of."

After saying this, James Mu shook his head with resignation, which amused Linda, who dared not laugh out loud.

Linda had only met James Mu twice, but she felt James liked her very much. It was probably because of her mother.

They chatted in the car. James Mu sounded humorous, making Linda laugh all the time. Her eyes squinted like crescent moons.

Probably because Linda got up too early, she laid on Charles Mu and fell asleep while she was chatting with them.

Charles Mu felt both funny and annoying in equal measure. Was she a piggy? Fell asleep so fast?

Half an hour later, they arrived at the mansion of the Xia clan.

Linda still enjoyed a very sound sleep and Charles's smell was both comforting and reassuring.

Johnson Xia and May Shen were already waiting at the gate with their servants.

Johnson Xia always felt guilty towards Linda. So he put on a full show when his eldest daughter came back. The whole family were asked to welcome Linda at the gate.

May Shen was quite unhappy about this. But she had no alternative. Nominally, she was Linda's stepmother and the hostess of the Xia clan.

Since what happened at Johnson Xia's birthday party, May Shen had hated Linda more.

Her own daughter, Lisa Xia, had changed a lot since what happened last time. She became more unruly at home and never left home again. She stayed in her room all day long, and dared not contact her friends anymore.

May Shen felt sorry for her, but couldn't do anything about it...

The S600 stopped at the gate. Bun had to wake Linda up, because the lord and lady of the Xia clan were both waiting there. They were elder family members.

Lisa Xia's room was in a hideous mess. It was a bit of a dog's dinner. A servant was sent to serve her. May Shen asked the servant to keep an eye on Lisa, fearing that she might commit suicide.

Lisa Xia curled up in bed and frowned with her eyes closed. What happened at the birthday party had spread among all servants. She often heard them talking about it in a low voice.

She heard some voices from not far away and asked.

"Are we having guests? It sounds boisterous out there." asked Lisa Xia in a low spirit.

"No one... No guests. My Lady, you must have misheard." The servant lowered her head. She didn't dare to tell the truth.

Lisa Xia tried her best to get out of the bed. Her pale face looked twisted. She slapped the servant, "How dare you lie to me? Do you think I'm deaf?"

"My Lady... Young Master of the Mu clan and Lady Linda are back..."

Lisa Xia fell into a rage, "She has the nerve to come back?"

She took up a fruit knife from the table and rushed to the living room.

"Linda xia, you bitch! You turned me into this. I'm gonna kill you. How do you have the nerve to come back?" !"
