Chapter 31 Bias
"Dear Mark, why don't you go to bed?" The old lady's face softened and forced a smile when she saw Mark.
"I was about to have a rest. When I heard the noise, I came here to have a look. Grandma, what happened? " He held Madame Xue's arm and asked with concern.
"It doesn't matter. You just come back and should have your mind at rest. I will arrange you to work in the company later." Her face still looked sullen and unease.
"I went to see Arvin today. I talked about my intention to work in the company, but he seemed bothered with my request. " With a faint smile on the corner of his mouth, he said somewhat helplessly.
"Did he really say that?" The old lady's tone suddenly changed and her face froze. "I think he's really getting more and more impudent."
To vent her anger, she hit the floor heavily with her walking stick.
"Grandma, please don't be mad at Arvin. I don't mind if Arvin can take good care of the company by himself." He raised his eyebrows recklessly.
He should remain respectful and humble in front of Madame Xue, in which way he could win her heart.
"You have suffered enough these years. The Xue family has never wronged anyone, especially you!" Madame Xue's brows ceased to frown as her mind fell into a trance, "It's not up to him. I'll arrange it for you. You go upstairs first. "
"Good night, grandma." Mark said as he took a deep look at Leo and then turned to go upstairs.

"Young master, Madame Xue wants to see you!" In the morning, Sophie reported to Arvin when he was about to leave.
"Did she say why?" Arvin stopped and frowned.
"No, she didn't. But she want you to go there immediately. " Sophie said.
"Okay!" Arvin responded briskly. He got in the car with heavy steps when he thought of what Mark said last time in the company.
As soon as Arvin's car pulled over at Madam Xue's house, a servant led him in.
"Grandma!" Arvin walked over and calmly greeted Madame Xue while thinking about how to talk to her.
"Well, I wasn't expecting you to call me that. " She slapped her hand on the table and the tea water was shaken out of the cup.
Arvin said innocently, "Grandma, Why are you so angry? Did Arvin do something wrong? "
Arvin said coldly.
"How dare you!" Her eyes flared up and her trembling body slowly got up from the chair. Her long accumulated disappointment finally exploded in the form of harsh words.
"What happened at the party the other day? Why did you behave intimately with a woman? "
The old lady stared at him with a gloomy face.
"Since you have known it, why do you still ask? The truth is what you have heard! " Arvin said slowly with a cold face. He didn't want to explain at all.
"You should know that you are married. No matter how the outsiders think of you, you are engaged!" Seeing the stubborn expression on his face, the old lady trembled and scolded him with a pointing finger.
"Belinda is a good girl. She is different from other girls. You should cherish her!" Taking a deep breath, Madame Xue rolled her sleeves with anger and began to persuade Arvin.
"Don't wait until you break her heart and you will find no place to regret!" She gave him a deep look.
But Arvin was indifferent to her. "What kind of good girl is she? She has found a job in a bar for several times, and is hugging other men behind my back?"
He snorted with a tone as cold as ice. He didn't understand why grandma was biased against him and in favor of Belinda. Was she somehow drugged by Belinda?
And Belinda pretended to be innocent all the time. Thought Arvin.
"Belinda is not that kind of girl! But you, you are the one who should be blamed. You have no manners to fight with others in public! "
The old lady rebuked angrily, in a tone of disappointment.
"How did you learn that?" Arvin doubtfully raised his head and asked. He didn't expect his grandma to know about it so soon.
The news was spread by him so fast.
"Look for yourself!" The old lady threw the newspaper in front of him angrily. Arvin glanced at it and figured out the reason for grandma's anger.
"This should blame Belinda. If she and another man hadn't cheated on me, I wouldn't have acted so rude!"
Arvin put the newspaper aside as he said in a cold voice.
"You two!" The old lady trembled with anger.
"If you hadn't ignored her, would Belinda be like this? Don't you sleep in different rooms at night? " The old lady was exasperated at Arvin. She cast a cold glance at him and said
"Since you all don't listen to me, bring Belinda here to live with me! From now on, you two should stay at my house! Let's see what else you can do! " The old lady said angrily, full of threat.
"Grandma..." "How could you do this to me?" Arvin frowned It seemed he was bullied by his grandma.
"As for Mark, appoint him manager of the company as soon as possible." The old lady demanded.
"Absolutely not!" Arvin's face changed dramatically and he couldn't help but retort at once.
"What do you mean?" The old lady turned her head slowly and asked. "Isn't he a member of the Xue family? Or is he not qualified to be a manager? " The old lady said in an unpleasant tone and glared at Arvin.
Arvin's face darkened. He looked at Madame Xue and said, "Grandma, I didn't mean that. There is no vacant position..."
Arvin softened his tone and decided to comfort her for the time being. He had no idea how to deal with Mark properly.
"Then do it as I said. His position in the company must be over manager. Otherwise, people would gossip that the Xue family treat you differently!" Madame Xue demanded in a cold voice.
She knew how gentle and elegant the boy was. "Cancel all your work today and stay here with Belinda!"
She turned around and went upstairs.
Arvin frowned. He didn't expect it at all. Text © 2024 NôvelDrama.Org.
"Brother, what a coincidence!" With an almost invisible smile at the corners of his mouth, Mark stood on the stairs, looking lofty.
"What on earth do you want?" Upon seeing him, Arvin became angry and looked at him fiercely.
"Don't act rashly. I will never allow you to do anything you want!" Arvin grabbed his collar and glared at him.
