Such a Rude and Noisy Woman novel Chapter 119

Hiram sat up straight and explained, "Although her work experience is different from what we're looking for for our current program, I still want to give her an opportunity to try. Anyway, I believe in her ability."

Hearing that, Daniel's smile disappeared immediately. He seemed to be silently pondering over it. Meanwhile, the old engineer beside them said, "I think that's feasible. Forget her ability, she is hard-working, intelligent and agile. So I completely agree on letting her join us."

The old engineer was famous for only caring about ability. What made him agree was not the fact that Rachel was Hiram's wife, but that he trusted in her ability after spending all that time with her.

He thought that even though her experience didn't match what they expected for the program, she was so smart that she would learn it quickly, especially since she had so many excellent professionals like Daniel here to teach her. He believed she would definitely catch up with them very soon.

'Since she has the ability, why not let her join us?' The old engineer thought.

"All right, since you all agree with it, I have no objection as well. However, as I'm in charge of this program, I'll assign her work according to her ability. Do you have any opinion on that, Mr. Rong?" Daniel asked, wanting to draw a clear distinction between public and private affairs.

Although Rachel was Hiram's wife, if she joined the company, she would become Daniel's subordinate, so she would have to follow his orders.

Hiram furrowed his eyebrows at Daniel and said with slight smile, "Do you think I'm the kind of person who would practice favoritism? As soon as she becomes your subordinate, do what you have to do as usual. By the way, only a few people in the company know that we're married, so you don't have to worry about that."

"Yes, better we keep it that way, " Daniel said. He internally let out a sigh of relief and continued to negotiate with Chad and the others about the specific details of what they were going to do.

Meanwhile, in the hospital, As soon as Rachel finished her drip, she went to Carl's ward to give him company.

She didn't like staying in the hospital, but the doctor had said that it was best to give her liquid infusion for three days to prevent pneumonia, so she had to stay in the hospital for another day.

"Rachel, you lost, " Carl said. They were playing cards. Carl had no cards left in his hand while Rachel still had several.

Feeling bored, she put down her cards. She was confused about why she kept losing no matter how she played.

"This isn't fun at all. Why not let me win once? I was afraid you might be bored, that's why I came here to play cards with you. Don't you know that you should let me win once?"

Rachel nagged as she shuffled the cards.

Carl laughed bitterly. He was not bored at all. His work was always so tight that he rarely had time to take a good rest. Now that he was finally doing it, he was not very happy when she woke him up to play cards with her.

"Before we started to play, you said that I shouldn't lose on purpose. You said that if I lose on purpose, the game wouldn't be fun, " Carl replied.

Rachel smashed the cards on the table and said, "Game over. You're too honest, my dear brother. It's really boring if I never win." Rachel wasn't interested in playing cards with Carl anymore.

When she stood up to leave, she saw two people enter the ward.

"Carl, we heard you're in the hospital, so we came to see you, " Miranda said. "Rachel, are you also here to visit Carl?" She asked when she saw Rachel. She was carrying a basket of fruit. She was a little stunned to see Rachel there. She seemed embarrassed, but she still pulled Shirley forward and walked in with her.

"Miranda, nice to see you here." Rachel was also surprised to see them.

But after thinking it over, she realized that it was only logical. Carl was the relative of her mother-in-law, whose blood sister was Miranda's mother-in-law. It was normal for them to come visit him.

When Shirley saw Rachel, she said unpleasantly, "I heard that you accompanied Hiram to the deep mountain for the program survey. You must have too much time on your hands."

"Shirley, shut up, " Miranda chided her. Miranda walked to Shirley and pulled her sleeve to try to stop her. Whenever Shirley met Rachel, it spelled trouble.

"It doesn't matter whether I say it or not. But look at what she has done! Hiram went there for work, but she still begged to go with him. Didn't she just make extra trouble for him?" But it seemed this comment hadn't been satisfying enough for Shirley. She continued leering at Rachel and said, "What do you think she did over there?

Carl is injured because she tagged along with them. I also heard that the team was drenched because of a heavy rain. I wouldn't be surprised if that was also caused by her."

Carl couldn't stand it anymore. He said, "Shirley, you'd better be careful about what you say.

Rain is a force of nature. Do you think Rachel can control the rain? And what's more, I got injured because of my carelessness. It had nothing to do with her." Carl was furious hearing Shirley blame everything on Rachel even though it wasn't her fault.

But seeing Carl stand up for Rachel only made Shirley angrier. She glared at Rachel, then said, "Carl, are you obsessed with her, too? Why do you keep speaking for her?"

"Enough, enough, " Miranda said, waving her hand and pulling Shirley aside. "Shirley, if you do something like this again, I'll never bring you out with me anymore."

"Why can't I say something reasonable now? If she's Hiram's wife, she should behave like it. How can she beg to go out with him all the time instead of staying at home and waiting for him to come back?" Shirley replied.

Her voice had gotten louder. It seemed like she wanted her words to be heard by everyone.

Reaching his tipping point, Carl stood up and yelled at Shirley. "Shirley! I don't need you to visit me. Go as far away as you can. You're not welcome here."

As they were arguing, the door was pushed open again.

Hiram was standing outside watching them, with Chad and Daniel behind him. Daniel was holding a bouquet in his hand.

It seemed like they had just arrived, but in fact, they had been listening outside for quite a while.

When they arrived, they had heard all the ruckus and decided to wait outside and listen to what was going on first

Hiram had heard about Shirley's sharp tongue at their family feast last time. He had been curious about just how sharp it could be, so when he heard her voice coming from inside the ward, he stood outside to find out. However, he reached a point where he literally couldn't stand anymore and pushed the door open.

As soon as he did that, he saw Rachel standing silently beside the door with her head lowered.

Rachel didn't say anything because she felt guilty about what she had done. She couldn't find any reason to defend herself.

"Get out of here right now. Shirley!"

Hiram said coldly.

Miranda tugged at Shirley's sleeve, trying to urge her to apologize to Rachel, but Shirley just stood still. Miranda had no choice but to apologize to Hiram herself. "Hiram, Shirley is just a straightforward kid. She always speaks without thinking. I hope you pardon her for that."

And then she pulled Shirley again and said, "Shirley, let's go out for a walk." Miranda took her hand and headed towards the door.

However, Shirley was a stubborn person. She broke out of Miranda's hold and walked towards Hiram.

"Hiram, I realized that I might have gone too far, " she said. "But all I've done is speak the truth. As a man's wife, and especially as the daughter-in-law of the Rong family, it's good and virtuous to stay at home instead of following the husband around."

With Hiram, she didn't dare to speak too harsh, so instead, she looked at him with tears in her eyes, as if there were too many grievances for her to spit out.

Hiram slightly frowned at Shirley. She seemed to be so resentful of her words. Then he said coldly, "Shirley, Rachel is your sister-in-law. It's inappropriate for you to say such things to her. What's more, who gave you the right to question my decision?

It was I who made the final decision that Rachel could come with us. If you have any problems with my decision, say it directly to me."

Shirley bit her lip and bent her head down. She didn't dare to retort to Hiram. However, thinking of Lydia, she became aggrieved again and asked, "How about Lydia? Isn't it because of Rachel that Lydia stays in the US without daring to come back here at all?"

Hiram's eyes narrowed, and he replied in an even colder voice, "Who told you that Lydia doesn't come here because of Rachel? Or are you against Rachel so much because Lydia complained about her to you?

What has she said to you?" Hiram asked. "I, I... No, of course not."

Shirley shook her head immediately.

Although she often talked to Lydia on the phone and had, in fact, had conversations about Rachel, she couldn't let Hiram find out, so she denied it immediately.

"So you're saying you just said all these mean things to Rachel without any reason?" Hiram asked in an ice-cold voice.
