A Vengeful Girl novel Chapter 109

"Brian, who do you bring those roses for? When did you come back? Brian..."

With tears running down her face, Sarah Shen was quite emotional at the moment. Though it had been two years, she was still in love with Brian Ho. She couldn't help moving slowly toward Brian Ho while speaking, which terrified Brian Ho and drove him backwards.

It was only because of Sarah Shen that Brian Ho was thrown back to the army by his grandfather, and so the sight of Sarah Shen scared him a bit.

"No, don't come any closer. The rose is not for you..."

"Not for me? Then was it for her?" asked Sarah Shen while pointing at Bun.

Brian Ho looked like he had just swallowed a fly alive. He paused for a moment and then nodded firmly. He really meant it when he said he was into Bun. Two years of solitude in the army had bored him to death, and so he made a move at Bun as soon as he came back. Though acknowledging that Bun was such a pretty girl, Brian Ho had never thought of turning Bun into one of his girlfriends, for he knew how a fox should never prey around his own hole.

However, Brian Ho was not the same man as he was two years ago. All he wanted for the moment was to settle down with someone and to build his own family.

So Brian Ho nodded again.

Sarah Shen exploded immediately when Brian Ho nodded his head.

She started to shout hysterically at him, "What on earth do you see in this skank? She's only a servant! Are you sinking that low now? Don't you remember what you had promised me?"

Brian Ho felt his head was pounding. However, he rubbed his temples to try and control his temper, then he said to Sarah Shen, "Come on! We had only been together for five short days. What kind of promise could I have given you? Besides, no one will take sweet talks seriously! Because of you, I ended up in the army for two whole years! What more do you want from me!"

"I don't want anything from you. I just... I really like you, Brian. And she was just a servant. She doesn't deserve your love."

Brian Ho was getting furious, "She is not a servant. One more word and you'll be sorry for what you've said!"

Bun only stayed in the Mu clan because she was grateful to them. And she was never a servant, nor was she ever treated as one.

"How could you shout at me for her... You... In case you forgot, we're engaged." Sarah Shen was furious. Both of their parents had already agreed on the betrothal between Brian Ho and her back then. But Brian Ho was fighting it with every ounce of his strength!

And that's why his grandfather threw him back to the army in a fury.

Bun, however, was looking at them without saying anything.

Bun knew Brian Ho was only playing with Sarah Shen, and he never meant to get stuck in that relationship.

However, it's not so much the past between Sarah Shen and Brian Ho as the the doubt whether Brain was really into her that was truly bothering Bun.

Bun felt like she couldn't afford to gamble with her life, for she had always been an innocent girl who wanted nothing more than spending the rest of her life with someone she truly loved.

In fact, Bun had always been thinking that she might have a little crush on Paul, but she figured it out later that it was more like some sort of admiration for an elder brother. Although her cheeks were turning pink and her heart was beating fast whenever someone brought up the subject, she knew it was different from being in love.

As for Brian Ho, even Bun herself had no idea how exactly she felt about him. She was a little scared, and a little flattered... And on top of all that, she was confused.

Therefore Bun was kind of terrified by the way Brian Ho showing his love to her.

Brian Ho took a deep sign. Arguing with women was not the way he dealt with things. After all, it was all his fault. He shouldn't have flirted with Sarah Shen when he didn't really want to be with her.

"Lady Sarah, for the last time, it's never gonna work out between us. I don't even like you. And I know it was all my fault that I didn't make it clear. Just tell me how can I make it up to you."

Make it up to me? With a bitter smile on her lips, Sarah Shen thought, "You've stolen my heart, and how are you going to fix that? What if I say that I want your heart in return? Will you do that for me?"

Neither Sarah Shen nor Bun said anything, and Brian Ho felt the suspense was killing him. "What sort of a mess have I got myself into?" thought he. ...

He cursed silently and then tossed the roses straightly into the nearby garbage can.

Then he took Bun's little hand and said, "Let's go, Bonny. You haven't had lunch yet, right? Let's go eat something."

Bun threw Brian Ho's hand off and looked around the field, "Alright, that's it for today. Now go have lunch. Dismiss!"

Then she turned back to Brian Ho, "I'm sorry, Young Master Ho. But I can't have lunch with you. I have to go back to Lady Linda. She wants to go to the bookstore and I need to be there for her."

"Don't you worry about that. I've taken her to the store already." Then Brian Ho just grabbed Bun's hand and headed toward the front gate. And Sarah Shen felt heartbroken once again when she saw they were holding hands together.

"Is she alone? Is Paul with her?" Bun's eyes suddenly widened.

"No. But she's not a child... It's only... buying some books."

Marrying into the Mu clan had made Linda a pain in the ass to a great deal of people. And to those who stood against the Mu clan, Linda had become an easy target for their hatred.

That's why Charles Mu sent Bun to stay with Linda and protect her around the clock.

"... Well, Young Mater Ho! You! ! ! !" Bun was so angry that she failed to come up with a complete sentence properly.

Young Master made it crystal clear to her that Lady Linda should never be left alone under any circumstance.

"What's wrong? Well, she was alone in the store. But I've called Charles and told him to pick her up. Don't worry. What kind of trouble can she get herself into within such a short time?"

Bun suddenly had a really bad feeling. And so she took out her phone and dialed Linda's number.

But all Bun could hear from her phone was the sound of "The number you have dialed is power-off. Please try again later."

A sudden chill swept through Bun's body. She grabbed Brian Ho's hand and asked, "Young Master Ho, Which bookstore did you bring Lady Linda to? Can you take me there right now?"

Linda was browsing through textbooks alone in the bookstore. She was still irritated that Brian Ho should be so selfish as to abandon her there.

How was she supposed to go back home later?

Luckily, Linda brought her purse with her, at least she got the cash to take a cab after she had done book shopping.

Linda was about to leave the store after she had bought all the books she needed when her phone rang.

She took her phone out. And to her surprise, it was from Lily Xie.

"Hello, Lily. What's the matter?" asked Linda after picking up the phone.

Then she heard Lily's anxious and frightened voice, "Linda! Linda! Please save me!"
