A Vengeful Girl

Chapter 31 Notre Dame de Paris Needs A Bell Ringer

"Stop it, " said Charles with a cold and deep but magnetic voice.

Violet Xing knew that her son was awake. But she didn't stop because she intended to embarrass

Linda in front of Amy Qi.

Amy Qi had always been her top candidate of daughter-in-law. And such a choice could also boost the

Mu clan's overseas business in the future.

"Bun, stop her." Noticing Violet Xing's indifference, Charles Mu softly said again.

Bun was awaiting by the door. It was Charles Mu's order to stay at Linda's elbow for her safety and

never left her side without his order.

Were it not for that she was only a servant, Bun would have already rushed into the room to stop Her

Ladyship from slapping Linda.

Now that she had Charles Mu's order, Bun immediately dashed into the room and stood in front of

Linda.

"Bonny Lu, get out of my way."

"Your Ladyship, Young Master want you to stop." Bun didn't back off. She was neither humble nor

arrogant, just stood firmly to protect Linda Xia.

Violet Xing's hand up in the air was shaky out of fury, "How dare you. Had the Mu clan not taken you in,

you would have starved on the street. And this is how you pay me back?"

Bun's bright eyes went a little gloomy and answered, "His Lordship had given me to Young Master. So I

only take orders from Charles Mu. Please forgive me, Your Ladyship."

"Great...This is great!" Violet Xing was furious over the fact that a mere servant should dare contradict

her words.

Violet Xing then slapped Bun right on her face, Leaving a clear red mark on Bun's left face. Although

her head was in a whirl, Bun still stood in front of Linda Xia.

It's her job to stick to Young Master's orders.

One slap seemed not enough, so Violet Xing raised her hand again with the intention to give Bun

another slap on her right face.

Linda couldn't stand it any longer. As the saying goes, look to the owner before you hit a dog. Bun was

her maid who took care of her daily life since her arrival, and so she simply couldn't stand aside while

other people bullied Bun like that.

Linda pulled Bun back right when Violet was about to strike again, "Lady Mu, whatever it is, you could

take it out on me."

Violet Xing gave a cold snort. Her left hand was still shaking in pain because she had slapped Bun way

too hard.

"Mother, that's enough, "

Calmly said Charles Mu. He just sat up straight on the bed, looking a bit pale.

Violet Xing turned around to look at her son and then laid down her hand.

It was hard to tell Charles Mu's expressions from his lowering eyes and angular face.

"Charles, you're awake? How do you feel? Is everything OK with you?"

Hearing Charles Mu's voice, Amy Qi hurried back to him and reached out her hand, trying to feel his

forehead.

Charles Mu frowned and made a slight move sideways to avoid her hand.

Amy Qi's hand suspended awkwardly in midair. However, she was not angry with him.

She had gotten used to Charles Mu's attitude toward her. In fact, Charles Mu had always turned a cold

shoulder to her.

She had a crush on Charles Mu when they first met on her mother's birthday party. She was only nine

years old back then. And her feelings had never changed through all these years.

In order to change Charles Mu's view about her, Amy Qi even made her father do everything he could

just to pave her way to Cranfield School of Management, the top educational institution in Britain.

All she ever wanted was to be able to help Charles Mu's business as a professional when she finished

her study, and preferably brought their relationship forward further down the line.

Amy Qi had missed Charles madly during the past three years in Britain.

"Aren't you studying in Britain?" Charles Mu raised his eyes and asked.

"I miss you so much. So I took a month off and came back to see you, " answered Amy Qi. She

withdrew her hand to run her fingers through her hair, and then gave Charles Mu a sweet smile.

"Your study is much more important. Just take some days off and go back. "

Amy Qi was a little disappointed about his coldness, though it was the way he had always treated her

since they were kids.

Amy Qi thought she was the most outstanding and suited woman for Charles Mu. But why did he never

even look at her?

The Qi clan and the Mu clan had enjoyed a long history of friendship and business partnership.

Besides, Violet Xing and Amanda Zhang, Amy Qi's mother, had been friends ever since high school.

Amy Qi therefore thought that she stood a good chance of marrying into the Mu clan.

"Charles, you're awake." Violet Xing sat back beside the bed and asked after her son.

Charles Mu's face softened a bit in front of his mother.

"I'm fine, mother. You should probably get back."

"How can I leave? I'm so worry about you. Is your arm still hurt?" Violet Xing felt distressed when she

saw the blood seeping from the thick bandages around Charles Mu's arm.

"No."

Doctor Anna had just read through Charles Mu's medical reports when she found the ward was in

chaos.

The room was crowded with people.

Anna Xu walked in and managed to put on a smile even though she didn't want to, "Your Ladyship,

Lady Qi, Young Master, My lady."

Amy Qi turned pale when she heard Anna Xu calling Linda Xia 'My Lady'. It had only been a month

since she hired someone to check up on Charles, and nothing in the report mentioned there was a

woman beside him.

Then why the doctor of the Mu clan's private hospital addressed her in this way?

"What did you just say? What Lady? Haven't you heard what my swornmother said? That she has

never approved of this so-called daughter-in-law?" said Amy Qi after a angry stare at Linda Xia.

Anna Xu felt awkward for the moment and didn't know what to say. Had she known this ward had

become a war zone, she would have chosen to come back later.

Linda Xia carried Bun to a chair in the corner and lowered her head to carefully check Bun's face. Violet

Xing slapped Bun so badly that her face had swollen up.

Her pretty face became rather funny.

"If I'm not the daughter-in-law that she approved of, then could it be you?"

The angrier Linda got, the calmer she actually became.

Her silence didn't mean that she was the one to be bullied.

Amy Qi hesitated for a second and then peeped at Charles Mu with a slight blush, "Nonsense, Charles

and I haven't quite gotten there."

Linda sneered at her words, "Well, you just came back from Britain?"

Amy Qi had no idea what Linda was up to, so she answered proudly, "Right. I'm studying at Cranfield

School of Management."

Linda said nothing, and Amy Qi was getting prouder of herself, "You've never been to Britain, have

you? That's one of the best colleges in Europe." Belonging © NôvelDram/a.Org.

"Well, one of the best? Then I guess you will be more than qualified for the job as a bell ringer at Notre

Dame de Paris."
