A Vengeful Girl novel Chapter 217

"No. But there are several libraries in the neighborhood. My Lady, you can tell me the books that you want. I'll bring the books."

"That's great! But I'd like to go with you. I haven't been out for long. I would love to take a stroll and get some fresh air."

Linda had been staying in the hospital for a month. She felt bored. She was excited to have an opportunity to go out. Reading in the library was Linda's sole amusement in her school days. She gradually developed an affection towards library. She liked the atmosphere of a library very much. Everyone would be reading quietly.

"Yes, My Lady. I'll take you there by the car. Please wait for a second."

Nelson said as he slightly bowed to Linda.

After Nelson left, Linda walked to a stone and sat on it. She felt a little tired. She just looked around. She found the garden beautiful with many varieties of plants and blooming flowers. There were vibrant fishes having fun with each other in a nearby pond. Linda felt positively hopeful: "My face will gradually recover. And everything will be OK soon.

If my face won't recover, then I will take it as a lesson to become stronger..." Linda thought.

Linda was enjoying the long-lost internal peace, as the fragrance of plum blossoms pervaded the air. Then she vaguely heard someone talking nearby.

"Devin, I am so angry. I fancied a Channel purse in a mall yesterday. But father didn't allow me to buy it no matter how I begged him!"

"Rosy, you have already bought six purses and seven pairs of shoes this month. That's why father said "no"."

"Humph, our family is affluent enough to afford several luxury purses. Do you know that the purse is a limited edition one with only five in total all over the world! It's worth the price! What's more, as the Lady of the Nalan clan, if I go out with a limited edition purse, my friends will think Nalan clan is rich and powerful, won't they?"

That female voice was so bombastic that Linda couldn't help getting goose bumps.

Then Linda heard a sneer, "Yes. Whatever you say is right. But I am worried that no man would dare to marry a woman as extravagant as you are. Ha...ha...ha..."

"Devin, How could you say that! No man is unwilling to marry a woman as beautiful as me. Humph!"

"Yes. Our Rosy is beautiful. There are only a few men deserve you throughout the whole SH. So you'd better hurry up to find one or they will be all get hooked by other women."

At the man's words, the woman sounded disappointed, "I know. You know what? I like the Young Master of the Mu clan. I was planning to ask father to discuss this with Lord Mu. But the Mu clan released Charles's engagement with another woman unexpectedly the other day. How disappointing it is! What's ridiculous is that the bride is Lady Xia who had been missing from Xia clan for a dozen years!"

"She is back? That's good! After all she is our aunt's daughter." The man said.

"Humph... Our aunt died many years ago. I even forgot how she looked like. I only remember father saying that grandpa had a preference for the aunt. He doted her very much and presented anything she wanted. But he was strict to father..."? said the woman sourly.

"All right Rosy. Stop quibbling with the dead. I remember our aunt's daughter was called Linda, wasn't she? Maybe Young Master Mu is just playing with Linda. He will dump her soon after he is tired of her, " said the man.

"You are right. After all, someone as rich and powerful as Young Master Mu would never marry a woman who grew up in a slum."

"Yeah. My sister is the only one who makes a perfect match for Young Master Mu."

"Are these two the grandchildren of Lord Nalan?

How could they speak ill of others like that." Linda thought.

By the way, Linda was surprised to hear there was another woman who fell for Charles.

"Charles is such a trouble! If only I could hide him into my pockets!" Linda muttered.

Devin and Rosy slowly walked into the garden while talking. They hadn't noticed Linda by then.

Linda didn't plan to confront them. She had already been immune to that kind of verbal assault since she encountered psychopathic Amy. She sat still and watched the fishes in the pond.

She couldn't leave, otherwise Nelson would not find her later.

Devin and Rosy walked in closer. Rosy found there was a woman, in a white sport coat, sitting nearby the pond. The woman wore a hat, so Rosy couldn't figure out who she was. But from that person's figure, Rosy could tell that it was a woman.

"Devin, Look! Someone is there! Who is she?" Rosy said while pointing at Linda.

Devin also saw Linda.

But he didn't knew Linda.

"That woman was plainly dressed. So she couldn't be one of our relatives or grandpa's friends." Devin thought.

He had been living in Nalan Villa for a dozen years. He could recognize everyone living there. Devin could tell that Linda was new there.

They walked towards Linda and found that the white sport coat Linda was wearing was servants' uniform.

Plum Garden was Lord Nalan's favorite garden. No servant dared to come in there unless they were ordered to clean the garden. So Rosy guessed Linda must have come to the garden secretly.

She shouted at Linda, "Hey! Who is your master? How dare you to sit here!"

Linda rolled her eyes up and muttered to herself, "What the hell! Can't they just stay away from me..."

Linda had already fed up with the disrespectful talk Devin and Rosy had about her mother. She didn't like Rosy's shouting either. She looked up at Rosy and said in an unfriendly voice, "None of your business!"

"What? How dare you say that!"

Rosy's cheeks turned red with fury. She ran towards Linda and tried to pull her up, "You. Stand up now! Why are you wearing a mask? Are you afraid of being recognized? This is not the place you can sit! You are just a servant! Wait... Why are there deep scars on your forehead?"

Rosy couldn't help loosening Linda on seeing the scars. She stepped back when she saw half of Linda's face clearly. She was scared.

Devin was also astonished to see there were two deep scars on Linda's forehead.

But the moment he looked into Linda's eyes, he was fascinated.

"What a pair of beautiful limpid eyes!" Devin thought as he couldn't move his sight away from Linda's eyes.

Devin walked closer to Linda.

He awkwardly coughed, "Miss. May I have the honor to know your name?"
