A Vengeful Girl

Chapter 14 Especially Those of the Qi Clan

The one Violet referred to as James Mu was none other than the father of Charles Mu.

Sensing the frustration from the back seat, the chauffeur replied cautiously, "Yes, about a week ago, we

received words from the Xia clan that they have found the eldest daughter at last."

"Give him a call and ask when they will be back. I would love to meet this newly-found eldest daughter

of the Xia clan. Violet's spirit was brought low when she heard the news. The sight of her cold, straight

face made the chauffeur anxious with sweats all over his forehead.

After he got off the phone, the chauffeur replied, "My Lady, Young Master is in the hospital on XW

Road.

"What is he doing in a hospital?"

"We don't know yet. But according to the hospital, Young Master was covered in blood with the Lady of

the Xia clan laying on his arms when he entered the hospital..."

"What!" The words "covered in blood" scared the hell out of Violet Xing. Was this Lady of the Xia clan a

jinx? How come her son ended up in the hospital on the very day when he was out picking her up?

"Turn around and take me to the hospital!"

"Yes, My Lady." After wiping off the sweats, the chauffeur turned around and headed straight to the

hospital.

Upon arriving at the hospital, Violet Xing charged in in a hurry without knowing what was going on

inside the hospital.

It happened around the same time when Linda and Doctor Xu were having a good chat. Anna had

finished operating on Linda's cut. After wrapping up the cut, Anna gave Linda a long shirt to put on.

Much to Linda's embarrassment, she found that the shirt was barely covering her butt. However, there

was nothing to be done about that.

The gorgeous and expensive dress had already been ruined beyond repair.

"Linda, when you get back, try to keep you arm off water, or else the cut might get infected. And also...

You should remind the Young Master to change your wound dressing in time..."

Before Anna could finish her words, the door of the treatment room was banged open.

Looking up, Anna could see that the intruder was none other than the mother of Charles Mu, the most

prestigious Lady of the Mu clan.

"My lady, what brings you here?" Anna stood up with a gentle smile on her face.

Instead of answering Anna, Violet Xing cut straight to the chase and yelled, "Where is my son?"

The way she looked at it, Anna was but one of many thousands of poor students that the Mu clan

sponsored.

She wasn't even fit to lick her shoe, let alone talking to her.

Apparently, Anna had grown immune to violet's slight as if it was to be expected. She was about to

reply that Charles Mu was out changing his clothes.

Before Anna could gave her answer, Violet Xing glanced over the room, and cast her eyes on the

blodd-stained shirt on the floor.

She could make out that this was Charles's clothes.

The blood-stained shirt convinced Violet Xing that the girl in front of her was responsible for her son's

injury.

"You are the new-found Lady of the Xia clan? Where is my son? You are quite something, aren't you?

You are already jeopardizing the life of my son even before you marry into our house!" growled Violet

Xing, who looked at Linda with cold eyes and a slightly frowning look.

The title "Lady" gave Linda the idea as to who the intruder was. The furious woman was clearly here to

point fingers.

But Linda didn't recall Charles being injured.

It was her that got cut in the arm for nothing, and it was as painful as hell.

"Young Master's clothes was dirty and he went to have it changed in the next room. He is unharmed.

The injured is Lady Linda, your daughter in law." Seeing that Violet was clearly mistaken, Anna

hurriedly explained.

Although not being raised in the prestigious Xia clan and receiving no elite education like those well-

endowed, Linda still had good manners. Her foster mother had taught her a lot about a decent life.

She was taught that she should not be too proud nor too servile and never allow her emotions to get

the better of her.

Though feeling angry over the attitude of the mother of Charles Mu and her incessant mocking and

insinuations, Linda still remained quiet with a smiling face.

For one thing, this woman was going to be her nominal future mother in law. It would do Linda's

investigation no good for her to be on bad terms with her.

For another thing, Linda was in no mood to argue since her arm still hurt.

"What Lady? I have never acknowledged her as my daughter in law! What is going on here? Why did

Charlie end up here in the hospital when he was only there at your house to pick you up?"

Violet Xing felt somewhat relieved to know that her son was unharmed, and yet, what with her frowning

eye brow and cold face, she still looked overbearing. Linda could clearly see a note of disdain in her

eyes.

"I was kidnapped along the way, " answered Linda calmly. Even under Violet's sharp gaze, she still

remained neither overbearing nor servile.

She would not acknowledge her as the daughter in law of the Mu clan? All the better! It was not like

Linda wanted to be engaged to Charles Mu.

"Kidnap? Who will bother to kidnap a nobody? What sort of a mess have you got yourself into?" Violet's

otherwise delicately polished face was made gloomy by her bad opinions of Linda. Hadn't this Lady of

the Xia clan gone missing for all these years?

There was no way that her kidnap could have something to do with business conflict.

She must have been a bad influence.

Violet grew more displeased with Linda.

Before Linda could said a word, they heard Charles's voice from the doorway.

"Mother, why are you here?" Charles Mu had already put on clean clothes and his hair was still wet

from the bath.

This hospital was owned by the Mu clan, so it was not surprising that Charles could take a bath here.

"Charlie, When I get off the plane, I was surprise to know that you are in the hospital, covered in blood. Content protected by Nôv/el(D)rama.Org.

The way I see it, you and that Lady of the Xia clan are not meant to be together, otherwise you would

not have run into this mess the first time you two meet."

Even though Anna had explicitly explained that Charles was unharmed, Violet Xing still grabbed

Charles to have a thorough check-up on him.

"Yes, I am covered in blood, " nodded Charles. However, he continued, "But... It is not my blood. Linda

was cut in the arm trying to save me."

"Whatever the case, this is a bad omen. How about I tell your father to cancel the engagement? How

can we take a joke made in the past seriously? As luck will have it, Amy is about to return from abroad.

It is best if you can spend more time with Amy. She is a decent Lady with educated family

background... Her uncle works in the gov...."

She was interrupted by the sight of her own son walking right past her and crouching down in front of

Linda. The usual mocking look in Charles's eyes suddenly turned soft in a way that made Linda

uncomfortable, "Is it still painful, Babe? I am to blame for your injury. Allow me to make it up to you

when we get back."

"Charlie! You really like this girl?" Being ignored by her own son infuriated Violet Xing.

"Mother, I am not interested in other girls, especially those of the Qi clan."
