A Vengeful Girl

Chapter 81 Any Problem

Bun and Paul were both stunned.

Young Master had never used such a vulgar word as "damn".

It surprised them that he should say the word without even thinking. It seemed to Bun that Linda had

really influenced Young Master in more ways than she realized. Charles Mu would get furious like a

normal man only when he was with Linda.

After taking care of Linda's dress, Charles Mu then took Linda's hand and strode into the food market

like nothing had happened earlier.

Linda didn't know what to do or say at all. What on earth was that all about? He definitely scared the

people nearby.

And suddenly there was a whisper among the crowd, "Look! Does he look like Charles Mu? That CEO

of the Mu company."

"The Mu company? Which one?"

"Is there any other Mu company in SH city?"

Wow...

Some of them started to let out gasps of surprise. The Mu company was far more influential than they

could ever imagine. The Mus had been laying their hands on almost every business sector in SH city

since decades ago. And the company was further expanded when Charles Mu, the eldest grandson of

the clan, took over the family business and gradually got control of the economy and politics of the SH

city.

There were countless women who would kill to be able to crawl up to his bed, let alone marrying him.

How on earth would such a popular man show up in a messy food market?

It surprised everyone in the market.

However, they were rather more interested in the woman that Charles Mu was holding. Though

wearing little make-up, she was such a breath-taking beauty.

It seemed perfectly normal for people to find Charles Mu, a man with a company that was worth

hundreds of millions, show up in the company of gorgeous women every now and then, since in their

limited imagination, the rich were always indulging in such dissolute ways of life.

And yet he turned up with a woman in a food market, a place where usually only couples would

showed up together.

Was it real?

Rumor had it that the CEO of the Mu company was engaged. But no one knew the real story since it

was not officially announced by the Mu clan yet. People were merely gossiping about the whole thing

without any solid proof.

But what they just saw might have just confirmed what they had heard.

Actually, by 1 o'clock in the afternoon, the news of their engagement would be spread around the entire

city by the media company affiliated to the Mu company. Only that none of them had known of the plan

yet.

However, everyone in the SH city would hear about it by the afternoon. Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org exclusive © material.

Though it had been an open secret among the celebrities in SH city.

It was not a secret that the Xia clan had plunged into a huge business crisis earlier and was desperate

for all the help it could get. And it was the Mu clan that finally pulled the Xias out of the mess. However,

in exchange, the Xia clan must find the long-lost eldest daughter back.

Before the news got out, almost every upper-class lady in SH city deemed Charles Mu as their Mr.right

and dreamed about marrying him someday.

He was a handsome man with nice figure and a decent family. Everything had made him the most

eligible man to marry.

And the most enticing part of marrying Charles was that the Mu company will help secure their family

business footings for generations to come.

Therefore, one could easily figured out how many ladys were secretly hoping that Charles Mu wouldn't

even like that lady of the Xia clan and then call off the betrothal.

They had never thought the Xia clan could actually find Linda back. And yet Linda was sitting right

there in the Xia clan, while the Xias and The Mus were already discussing engagement arrangements.

And the most unbelievable part of the whole thing was Charles Mu seemed quite into that lady of the

Xia clan.

It also sparked an intense online discussion for quite a while.

But Charles Mu did not care about any of those things, nor did he ever take it seriously.

All he cared about for the moment was to shop with Linda in the food market. He was rather enjoying

the sweet domestic life with Linda as buying pork and dumpling wrappers and then going home to

make dumplings together.

With Bun and Paul following behind, Linda and Charles Mu were holding hands and strolling around

the market.

"Do you know where to find dumpling wrappers?" asked Linda while looking at Charles Mu.

Charles Mu stared her for a second and then looked around the market, "No."

"Then why are you leading the way?" replied Linda sourly while quirking up her eyebrows.

There was a sudden silence between them after Linda had done talking. Charles Mu didn't let go of

Linda's hand, and seconds later he uttered two words through his gritted teeth which left Linda totally

dumbfounded, "Any problem?"

"Not at all, " answered Linda through her slightly trembling lips...

Linda wouldn't bother to explain more. She just let Charles Mu take her hands and wandered around

the whole market without finding any sign of dumpling wrappers.

Charles Mu was clearly beginning to get anxious after a few strolls, but he still remained a poker face.

Linda, however, noticed that his eyebrows were slightly raised.

Everytime he frowned, it was a sign that he was taking something seriously.

However...

The store selling dumpling wrappers was actually outside of the market...

Therefore Charles Mu could never find it somewhere inside the market.

Linda's legs were becoming sore after walking around the market for quite a while. She then grabbed

Charles Mu's arm while rolling her eyes at him, "Come on, my legs are getting tired."

Charles Mu's heart suddenly melted, "I'm sorry."

"Alright, it has already passed 12. Le't just get the ingredients and go to my father's if we still want to

have some lunch. . And we are going to visit my mother in the afternoon, aren't we?"

Linda was more than pleased to see the remorsefull look on Charles Mu's face. So she kissed him on

his cheek, and then went on to buy all the ingredients they needed for dumplings, all the while holding

his arm.

As soon as they had done shopping and gone back into the car, Paul sped up toward the Xia's villa.

Darren told Johnson Xia the minute he got back from the hospital that Linda and Charles Mu was

coming over to visit him.

"My Lord, Lady Linda had called earlier, saying she will be here for lunch with Young Master Mu."

Johnson Xia was thrilled at the news. He hadn't eaten yet, and nothing would be better than to have a

nice lunch with his beloved daughter and son-in-law. So he immediately ordered the chef to prepare

lunch.

"No, My Lord. There's no need for that. Lady Linda said she will make dumplings for you."

Johnson Xia said nothing else, but his mind was in a whirl. It felt like everything had come back to him

all of a sudden. He remembered how much Sherry loved to make him dumplings when she was alive...

Johnson Xia did find Linda back, but Linda hadn't had the chance to stay long with him before she was

pushed out again by Johnson Xia himself to deliver what he had promised to the Mu clan.

And Johnson Xia felt rather guilty when Linda still treated him so well.

Just as he immersed himself in his own thoughts, Johnson Xia heard Linda's voice from the front door,

"Father, I'm home. Why are you standing out here? You are not fully recovered. Let's go inside. It's too

windy out here."

"Alright, alright." Johnson Xia suddenly felt like crying and drops of tear immediately rolled down his

wrinkled cheeks.

"What's wrong? Father, are you OK? Why are you crying?" Linda didn't know what to do and then

turned to Charles Mu for help with a baffled look.

Johnson Xia wiped his face and replied, "Nothing, I'm fine. Come, aren't you going to make dumplings

for me? Let me help you with the filling."

"You can do the filling?" Linda was surprised. Unlike Linda who was found back to the clan, Johnson

Xia was the master of the Xia clan, and he was born with a silver spoon.

"Of course I can. Your mother used to love making me dumplings. But she didn't want to deal with the

filling, so she made me do it instead. And then she was pregnant with you, so I have forbidden her to

step into the kitchen again ever since..."

Looking slightly trembling, Johnson Xia continued, "And then she promised me that she would make

dumplings for me again after she delivered... But you had gone missing right after you were born. And I

haven't had another chance to tasted your mother's dumplings again since then. It has been more than

twenty years."
