A Vengeful Girl novel Chapter 175

Johnson Xia was moved. Blessed with such a daughter, he thought that nothing in the past mattered. The most important thing was to cherish the days to come.

"I know."

"Oh! My friend's father likes fishing. You can go with him when you're free. You know, to get some fresh mountain air. Fishing is good for your health. The air in the city is so filthy. Go outdoors as much as you can. It's better than staying at home.

Johnson nodded as he ate.

Linda was his good daughter. On the other hand, Lisa was a pampered princess. He blamed himself for spoiling her.

Lisa never asked about his health, but always asked for things.

There was a world of difference between Linda and Lisa.

"Oh, have you heard from Lisa?"

Johnson didn't want to ask, but he was worried about Lisa for some reason. Though it turned out that Lisa wasn't his daughter, he still held some affection for her. They had lived together for over ten years.

Linda shook her head, her eyebrows knotted in worry, "No. I don't know why, but she seems to have vanished into thin air. Young Master Mu and I have been looking for her for a long time. It seems that she was hidden away by someone on purpose."

Linda startled at her revelation. Had she really been hidden? Why hadn't she realized that until now?

But who took her away and why?

Linda felt disturbed at the thought.

"It's weird that Lisa has been gone for a couple of months. I doted on her when she was at home. She could've gone through many hardships while wandering outside." Johnson thought to himself.

Depressed, Johnson shook his head in resignation.

"I'll ask Young Master Mu to find her. Don't worry about it, father. Maybe she didn't want to stay here, and moved to another city."

Linda comforted gently.

Nowadays, people wouldn't die of starvation. Besides, Linda guessed that there was more to it. Considering Lisa's personality, it was impossible. Maybe she was plotting something.

Linda always had good instincts.

She could feel something dangerous approaching, but such threats were unpredictable since she was exposed in the light while the enemy was safely hidden in the dark.

That night, Linda slept over at her father's house. She went to school with Bun the next day.

Upon entering the school, Linda ran into John Lee.

"Good morning, Miss Xia! Good morning, Miss Lu." John Lee greeted politely.

"Well. Good morning! How's everything?" Linda said with a smile, patting John's head.

"Fine. Miss Xia, I ranked 6th place in last month's exam. That was good, wasn't it?"

John seemed like a satisfied child eager for Linda's praise.

"Not bad. You have to work harder to be number 1!"

During the conversation, John's stomach rumbled. "You haven't had breakfast?"

John shook his head and said, "I'm not in the habit of eating breakfast. I've been living alone for years, so I don't eat until lunch."

"No way. Skipping breakfast will affect your studies. It's not good for your health."

John forced a smile, "It's okay. I haven't eaten breakfast in years."

"All right. Time for class, go! I'll have Miss Lu bring you breakfast in a while. Breakfast is a must, you understand?"

"Okay. I gotta go to morning class. See you!"

Linda asked Bun to buy John breakfast at the school canteen and deliver it to him.

Bun also urged him to eat breakfast in the mornings.

At the end of the day, Linda and Bun got off work. They planned to try on wedding dresses today.

As they approached the school gate, Charles called. Linda immediately picked up the phone.

"Honey, is your class over? Have you gone for the dress fitting? I might be late today."

"It's okay. What are you busy with? What's keeping you so late?" Linda was upset because the wedding dress fitting is important. She really hoped that Charles could make it.

"I have a meeting in a few minutes. The partner entertainment company invited a pop star recently. There are lots of points in the contract to discuss. I promise I'll be there very soon."

Linda pouted. Despite her disappointment, she understood.

"My Lady, we're going to Ziet today. It's the best wedding shop in SH. Each dress was made by a famous designer, and every dress is unique. Young Master Mu really loves you a lot."

Bun looked at Linda in envy.

She imagined putting on a wedding dress. But it was just a fantasy, and would probably never come true.

Being labeled as the daughter of a traitor weighed heavily on her.

The label proved to be an overwhelming obstacle for her and Brian. A marriage or relationship without the blessing of the family never ended well.

Bun was filled with sadness at the thought. She sniffled.

The wedding dress store was near the school, it was only half an hour away by car.

Linda was greeted with a warm welcome as soon as she arrived.

"Lady Xia, welcome to Ziet. We have arranged for you several dresses by famous designers. Please take a look."

Linda nodded and beamed. "Okay! Thank you."

"Good afternoon, Lady Xia. I'm the manager of Ziet. It's a pleasure to serve you." Mr. Li said, wearing a professional smile.

"Thank you, Mr. Li."

Linda followed Mr. Li to the shop, where a myraid of beautiful dresses were on display, shining brightly under the lights.
