A Vengeful Girl

Chapter 219 Quarrel in the Library

Oh, so it was. No wonder Rosy Nalan kept saying Linda was a maid. It was because of the coat Linda

was wearing. It suddenly occurred to Linda that Anna had told her about the the coat. But she paid no

attention at that time.

"Don't worry. It's okay. I don't know them anyway. Who are they?"

"They indeed belong to the Nalan clan. They're kids of your uncle Lenny. The boy is Devin Nalan and

the girl is Rosy Nalan. They're twins."

"Devin Nalan... Devin..." Linda repeated the name.

She felt something was wrong with the name. Then she got it suddenly. Well, it amused her a lot. How

careless her uncle was to give this name! Didn't it sound like Devil?

Nelson Li could see the smile on Linda's face through the rear-view mirror. It was hard to see her

expression through the mask, but he could easily guess.

"Lady Linda, are you laughing at his name?"

"Oh, yes. You caught me. How careless my uncle was to give this name? But why? Wouldn't his

classmates make fun of him?"

"Lady Linda, you must be kidding. Who dares to make fun of a boy from the Nalan clan?"

"Well, tell me about the other members of the Nalan clan. There seem to have a lot of family members.

I thought my grandpa was the only one I had!"

As Nelson Li drove, he explained to her pleasantly.

He briefly introduced the family members to Linda.

"Lady Linda, your grandpa is Richard Nalan. You should know that. He has an elder brother called

Robin who died of heart disease in his forties. His children had moved to England. Richard Nalan had

three children. Your eldest uncle is Lenny and the second uncle is Felix. Your mother Sherry Nalan is

the youngest kid. Your eldest uncle has a pair of twins whom you just met, Devin and Rosy Nalan. Your

second uncle has a daughter and a son."

"But you will not see them for now, because they're studying in the US. They're not coming back after

graduation. Instead, they'll take care of the business of the Nalan clan in the US."

Linda nodded and kept all this in mind. She thought it over and found the family rather complicated. Not

to mention that even Richard had an elder brother.

It took them almost half an hour to reach the library. After Linda got off the car, Nelson Li left for

parking.

Her grandpa had ordered that Nelson Li should stay with Linda wherever she went. So he would

remain nearby when Linda read books and would also protect her if the need arose.

Nelson Li studied economics, but he was a master of taekwondo.

Linda looked up at the library, which was situated behind a quiet college.

Many people went by, most of whom were students of the college. Outside the library was a giant

statue of a book.

Nelson Li came after parking. He smiled to Linda, "Let's get in, Lady Linda. This is our nearest library. It

was sponsored by the Nalan clan. Have you seen the college over there, Q University? It's one of the

key universities in Shanghai."

Linda nodded. She had heard of this college. It was as famous as Z College.

"All right. Let's get in."

Inside the library, Nelson Li walked beside Linda. It was an open library where many people were

reading. The environment was quiet. Nice sunlight illuminated its interior.

Well, she may come here often. If she stayed at home, maybe she could meet someone like Devin

Nalan or Rosy Nalan. Linda didn't feel like getting close to them. Besides, she was recovering from the

injury.

It was nice to come and read books whenever she was free.

"Nel, are you going to stay here with me?" As she walked past bookshelves, she asked Nelson Li who

was right behind her.

"Yes, I'll be here protecting you."

His phone rang as soon as said this. With an "excuse me" gesture, Nelson Li answered the phone.

He looked a little embarrassed then.

"Well, My Lady, I have to go to the company for some issues..."

Damn, was he going back on his words? He just said he would remain there to protect her, but he was

leaving so soon. However, Linda was fine with it. She didn't like to read in the library with someone else

beside her. She could just read quietly. It was somehow weird with someone else always sitting near

her.

She was used to having Bun around her. But Bun was a girl who shared common topics with her. After

all, Nelson Li was a man.

"Okay, Lady Linda. It's two o'clock. When should I come and drive you back?"

Linda looked at the watch and replied, "Come at five and it would be about time for medicinal porridge."

Nelson Li apologized before he left. But Linda felt somehow relaxed. She walked back and forth in the

library searching for a good novel to read.

She stopped at the shelves filled with historical novels. She preferred historical novels. Those half-

genuine and half-imaginary stories sound quite interesting.

She found a book about the Tang Dynasty and read it with interest. It was intriguing.

She kept reading it for over two hours. By that time her neck started to get stiff. She began to rub her Belongs to (N)ôvel/Drama.Org.

neck gently.

An abrupt voice rang out in the library, breaking the quietness in the air.

"Get out of here! Are you fit to be here? Don't you know your place?" A sharp female voice rushed into

Linda's ears. She frowned.
