Chapter 109


    Quarmy fell asleep, but Monica was thinking quietly. Why did Quarmy ask such a strange question?


    Why did he ask about her mother? What did he want to know? Or did he already know something?


    Since she was young, her mother had been reluctant to mention her grandmother. Her mother had


    always casually said that her grandmother was dead. But why was there no grave of her grandma?


    Was her mother lying? Was her grandma not dead? Did Quarmy know something? But what did this


    matter have to do with him? After her mother died, her uncle became her only rtive. Only her uncle


    knew about these things. Monica decided to go back and ask Xanjer.


    The next day, Monica went to Xanjer''s ce. After chatting for a while, she asked, "Uncle, I have a


    question. Are you and Mom the only kids of Grandma?"


    Xanjer was stunned and nodded.


    "I heard from my mother that my grandparents died when you were very young. You and my mother


    were raised by a kind person. However, when my mother and I went to pay respect for the dead, why


    didn''t I see Grandma''s grave?"


    Xanjer was silent. Seeing that, Monica asked tentatively, "Is Grandma still alive?"


    Xanjer shook his head. "She''s dead." "Then why don''t they bury her next to my grandfather?"


    "Well... because... because she married someone else."


    "Grandma remarried? Who?"


    "It seems that she was married to a man surnamed Xi. At that time, your mother and I were very young.


    Later, you mother moved away, so we are not very clear about the specifics."


    Monica understood. It turned out that Grandma abandoned her young kids and remarried after


    Grandpa''s death. That was why her mother hated her grandma so much. "How can Grandma be so


    cruel?"


    Xanjer wanted to exin, but he didn''t know how to exin it. If he put in a good word for his


    stepmother, Monica would certainly keep asking. In this way, this matter would be more troublesome.


    But he didn''t want Monica to misunderstand his stepmother. In fact, his stepmother was a good


    woman, and she was actually forced to abandon her kids!


    Noticing his silence, Monica asked again, "Grandma must have had children after she remarried, right?


    So, in fact, I have other rtives in this world?"


    "Moni, do you want to have other rtives?"


    "Of course. Having a rtive is better than being alone and helpless. Uncle, do you want to find the


    other children of Grandma?"


    "I don''t know, maybe!" Xanjer looked at the time. "It''s almost noon. I''m going to buy vegetables. What


    do you want to eat today?" "I''ll go with you."


    "There''s no need. You can stay at home. I will be back soon." Xanjer left in a hurry. Monica felt a bit


    strange.


    Xanjer went out of the room and frowned. As expected, he couldn''t keep this a secret forever. Monica


    must have heard something.


    Should he tell Monica the truth? If she knew that he was not Xanjer, what would she do?


    What mattered was not his identity, but Eva''s threat. Although Eva was his half-sister, she was a


    vicious woman. If she talked nonsense to Monica and smeared Hannah, what should he do?


    Things didn''t ur as he wished. He only wanted to live a peaceful life, but he was not allowed to do


    so. Xanjer sighed deeply. No matter what, he had to find a way to solve it. If he couldn''t, then he would


    leave Jiang City with Monica!


    Since Quarmy quarreled with his mother that day, he had never returned home. Nor did he make a


    phone call to Jenny.


    His heartlessness made Jenny very angry. Did her son want to abandon her? Her filial son was really


    deeply influenced by Monica. She must not let that b*tch be her daughter-inw again, so she agreed


    with Eva''s suggestion.


    She did this not only because of the sports meeting project, but also to make Monica sad. She wanted


    Monica to know the consequences of going against her.


    The next day was Jenny''s birthday. Every year Quarmy would prepare for her birthday in advance, but


    this year he didn''t say anything at all. Did Quarmy forget her birthday? Jenny was so angry that she


    asked Lassie to remind Quarmy.


    Quarmy promised toe back the next day, Jenny was relieved. She called Madrigal and asked her


    toe over for dinner the next night. She also invited several good friends.


    Quarmy told Monica in advance that he would not have dinner at home the next night. He would go


    back to the Huo Family to celebrate his mother''s birthday.


    Monica didn''t say anything. Quarmy had nned to take her home for dinner, but when he saw her


    unconcerned look, he had to give up.


    Monica was no longer the former Monica. She would definitely not put up with Jenny like she used to.


    Although Jenny would not embarrass Monica in front of the guests, she would definitely say something


    unpleasant. He could do nothing about it. Therefore, he''d better not take Monica home this time.


    When Quarmy returned to the Huo Family, the guests were all here. Madrigal also came. When


    Quarmy saw Madrigal, he frowned slightly.


    She refused to meet him everyday, but she actually came here to celebrate his mother''s birthday.


    Quarmy couldn''t help but feel a little disgusted with Madrigal.


    Madrigal quickly exined, "Dad is discharged from the hospital today."


    This was to exin why she was here. Quarmy felt better after hearing that. Since Zoe had been


    discharged from the hospital, Madrigal had no reason to refuse to meet him. He had to find a chance to


    talk to her and Zoe.


    The dinner was a family banquet. The guests were Jenny''s best friends. When they saw Madrigal,


    everyone showed a knowing smile. This meal was so happy. Because it was Jenny''s birthday, Jenny


    drank a lot. In the end, she said that she couldn''t drink more, so she asked Quarmy to toast others for


    her.


    Quarmy agreed. During the meal, he also drank a lot. Although the wine was not strong, he still felt a


    headache. After the banquet, except Eva and Madrigal, all guests left. Seeing that he was drunk, Jenny


    asked him to go back to his room to rest and gave Madrigal a wink. Madrigal''s heart was pounding


    happily. It was a perfect opportunity for her. Thinking of what would happenter, she couldn''t help but


    blush a little.


    Quarmy staggered upstairs. After a while, Jenny motioned Lassie to prepare the sobering soup. She


    asked Eva in a low voice, "Is that drug harmful to his body?"


    "No, it''s just an aphrodisiac. Didn''t you say that Quarmy was not interested in other women? With my


    drug, he has to be interested." Eva also lowered her voice.


    Lassie brought the sobering soup out. Jenny went to her son''s room with the soup. Quarmy heard the


    sound and opened his eyes. Jenny went to the bedside and handed the soup to him. "Quarmy, it''s for


    you."


    Quarmy didn''t say a word and drank it up. Seeing that, Jenny left his room with satisfaction.


    "Did he drink it?" Eva asked anxiously.


    "Yes."


    "Madrigal, go upstairs in about ten minutes." Eva looked at Madrigal. Madrigal blushed and lowered her


    head to sit on the sofa. Jenny and Eva sat beside her and taught her what to do next.


    While they were talking, the sound of a car came from outside. Soon the door was pushed open.


    Quarmy''s special assistant, Noah, strode in. He greeted several women in the living room politely. "I''m


    here to pick up Mr. Huo."


    "What?" Jenny felt that things were going to be out of control, so she hurriedly got up to stop Noah.


    "Quarmy is drunk. Don''t disturb him, let him rest."


    "I''m sorry, Madam. I have to take Mr. Huo away." Noah''s attitude was neither humble nor pushy.


    "I said no! Quarmy must stay here tonight. You should leave now. If he mes you, I will take the


    responsibility." Jenny was unhappy.


    "I''m sorry, Madam. I''m Mr. Huo''s assistant. I only listen to him."


    "You''re just Quarmy''s assistant. To put it nicely, you''re an assistant. To put it bluntly, you''re just a


    servant. What right do you have to refute me?" Jenny was annoyed by Noah''sck of respect.


    Noah smiled faintly. He was not angry at all. "Madam, you''re right. I am indeed a servant hired by Mr.


    Huo, but I am only loyal to my master. Madam is not my master, so I can''t listen to you!" After that, he


    went upstairs. Seeing that, Jenny was anxious and reached out to stop him. "This is my home. Did I


    agree with you to go upstairs?"


    "I agree!" A cold voice sounded. The people downstairs looked up and saw Quarmy stand on the


    second floor and looked at them condescendingly.


    "Quarmy, it''s not easy for you toe back once. Can''t you stay at home for a night?"


    "No!" Quarmy staggered downstairs. Noah immediately went up to help him. "Mr. Huo, are you all


    right?"


    "Nothing will happen when you are here." Quarmy replied.


    Seeing Noah holding Quarmy down the stairs, Jenny and Eva looked at each other. They knew that


    today''s n would not seed. Jenny was both annoyed and anxious. "Quarmy, today is my birthday.


    Are you going to leave me alone at home?"


    Quarmy felt like a fire was burning in his chest. He ignored Jenny and ordered Noah, "Let''s go."


    "Quarmy, you can''t leave me alone!" Jenny saw his red face and knew that the drug had taken effect. If


    she could let him stay here, maybe...


    Quarmy nced at his mother with a sneer. "Mom, forget it! I won''t stay here tonight."


    With Noah''s help Quarmy strode through the living room. Seeing Madrigal''s blushing face in the living


    room, Quarmy stopped. "Miss Jane, are you really that shameless?"


    Madrigal''s blushing face instantly turned pale. Quarmy sneered and said, "Tomorrow I will go to the


    Jane family and talk to your parents about our engagement."


    Noah helped Quarmy to the car outside and quickly started the car. Quarmy untied the button of his


    cor and ordered Noah to turn on the air conditioner. The feeling of hot was still there. Originally, he


    was not prepared to stay at the Huo family this night. Before he came there, he told Noah to pick him


    upter. He was not afraid that his mother would y tricks on him, but he did not want Monica to be


    alone.


    However, he did not expect that his mother would do this. She clearly knew that he had a bad stomach,


    but she still asked him to drink. He knew that something was wrong.


    But he was not worried. Anyway, Noah woulde to save him, so he didn''t refuse to drink. After


    drinking the sobering soup that his mother gave him, he felt hot in his chest. Therefore, he got up from


    the bed and saw his mother stop Noah going upstairs. Seeing Madrigal sitting in the living room,


    Quarmy understood what his mother was going to do. He was really disappointed and disgusted.


    Madrigal used to say that she became a surrogate to repay her parents'' debts. However, why did she


    do this now?


    She was clearly aware that he loved Monica, but she was willing to do such a shameless thing.


    Quarmy finally saw through Madrigal.


    Noah quickly parked the car at the entrance of XS Garden. He helped Quarmy into the vi in a hurry.


    Monica heard the sound and came out. When she saw Quarmy''s flushed face, she was surprised.


    "What happened?" "Let Mr. Huo exin it to you. I''ll take my leave first!" Noah immediately left.


    Monica reached out to hold Quarmy. "Have you drunk a lot?"


    "Moni, I miss you!" Quarmy reached out and hugged her soft waist, kissing her fiercely. Then, he


    started to take off her clothes.


    Monica couldn''t make a sound, so she reached out to push him. However, how could she be able to

    refuse Quarmy, who was burning with desire? He quickly took off her clothes and threw her on the


    sofa.


    He went crazy, which meant that this night was bound to be a wonderful night.


    After Quarmy left, Madrigal stood there with a pale face. She was in a bad mood now. Quarmy''s


    mocking tone and disgusting eyes made her desperate. His good impression of her for so many years


    was ruined! A sense of despair rose in her heart. She no longer had the face to stay here, so she


    rushed out of the Huo Family without saying a word.


    "Madrigal!" Eva followed her out and stopped her outside the vi. "Take it easy. It''s not the end."


    "It''s all because of you!" Madrigal red at Eva. "If you hadn''te up with this bad idea, would things


    have be like this? I hate you so much!"


    ii | ii


    "You''re good-for-nothing! Get out of here!" Madrigal didn''t want to pretend to be nice or gentle. She


    pushed Eva away, got on the car and left the Huo Family. Yale was anxiously waiting at home. At this


    time, Eva called her. "We failed. It was noticed by Quarmy. Madrigal is very angry. Remember to


    It disappointed Yale. After hanging up the phone, Yale immediately called her daughter, but no one


    answered. Would anything happen?


    Yale''s heart sank. She was worried that something would happen to her daughter, so she hurried out of


    the house. On the road in front of the vi, Yale looked around and continued to call her daughter.


    No one answered the phone all the time. Yale was really anxious. Would anything happen to her


    daughter?


    In her anxiety, Madrigal''s car finally appeared in her sight. Yale was relieved. Madrigal stopped the car


    and strode into the vi with a gloomy face. She didn''t stay in the living room but went straight upstairs


    to enter her room.


    A few minutester, Yale followed her upstairs. Lancy stood at the door of her room and felt strange.


    She rarely saw Yale and her daughter lose theirposure like this. What happened?


    Yale pushed open her daughter''s door. "Madrigal, are you all right?"


    "What do you think?" Madrigal jumped up and shouted at her, "Quarmy said that he woulde here


    to talk to you tomorrow. Do you know what it means to me?"


    "Oh my god! Please lower your voice. Your father has just fallen asleep. Don''t wake him up!"


    "Why should I keep my voice down? Anyway, Quarmy doesn''t want me. Since that''s the case, why


    should I continue to act? From today on, I want to be myself!" Madrigal shouted angrily. Yale stamped


    her feet and hurriedly stepped forward to cover her mouth. She lowered her voice and warned, "Don''t


    you want to be ady?"


    "I don''t!" Madrigal pushed Yale''s hand away. "Since I can''t get Quarmy, I won''t pretend to be ady


    from now on. That''s it!"


    Yale was also angry. "I have long advised you to give up him. There are so many good men in the


    world, but you insist on marrying him. You deserve it!"


    "I deserve it?! Isn''t it all because of you? You said that you would help me get Quarmy. You asked me


    to be a surrogate and seduce Quarmy. Now, Quarmy knows everything. It''s all over! Why did you


    believe in Eva?! It''s all your fault!" Thinking of Quarmy''s words and eyes when he left, Madrigal felt


    desperate.


    "You heartless b*stard. I''ve worked so hard to raise you up. How dare youin about me? If it


    weren''t for me, you couldn''t even know Quarmy!" Yale was also annoyed.


    "I would rather that you didn''t give birth to me! Why are you a mistress? I will be embarrassed all my


    life because of you. It''s all because of you that I can never be confident!"


    "You b*stard, can''t you live without him?" Yale was so angry that she pped Madrigal on the face.


    "Let me die!" Madrigal sat on the ground.


    "Go back to the cat''s alley and die. Don''t dirty this ce!"


    Yale''s words frightened Madrigal so much that she suddenly shut up. Yale looked at her coldly and


    said, "Have you forgotten how miserable you used to be? If you want to go back to the cat''s alley, I


    won''t stop you. Get out of here now!"


    Madrigal was speechless for a moment. Yale poked her head. "Don''t forget who you are. If it weren''t for


    me, would you live such a good life? How dare youin that I am a mistress? If it weren''t for me,


    you would have to stay in the cat''s alley and eat trash all your life! You b*stard! I''m so angry!"


    Madrigal remembered the days she spent the cat''s alley clearly. She lived in a low, wet and moldy


    house. Her clothes were patched and her food was like trash. She would be extremely happy if she


    could eat meat.


    But now she was living in a vi. She could drive a fancy car to those high- end hotels. Her friends


    were all from the upper ss. What a difference.


    Madrigal became silent, but Yale continued to scold her directly. "Do you think you are born to be a rich


    your dad''s! If he sees you like this, he will never love you!


    I warn you, in his heart, only Monica is his treasure. You are nothing to him!"


    "I... I''m sorry!" Madrigal was enlightened. What did she do just now? She even scolded her mother as a


    mistress and shouted at home. In this family, only her father was the boss. Even though her mother


    and she were in the upper ss now, they had to listen to Zoe. Monica could lose her temper to Zoe


    and ridicule him, but Madrigal had no right to do so.


    From the first day she entered the house, Zoe had been very distant from her. He had never been


    sweet to her. Many times she even felt that Zoe hated her, so she had been humble in front of him. Her


    mother had reminded her several times that she should be docile, kind and polite in front of Zoe,


    otherwise she would make him annoyed.


    She had been following this rule all the time. Finally, Zoe became nicer to her. If she was no longer


    obedient, would Zoe still care about her? Madrigal knew the answer very well.


    Yale softened her tone. "Zoe is not an ordinary person. He is very cruel! He has been ignoring his


    sweetheart for so many years, don''t you know what it means? You''re just an illegitimate daughter. We


    still have to rely on him. That''s why I asked you to please Jenny. I wish you can control your own life


    instead of being a subsidiary of a man. It''s pathetic for to be a subsidiary. Even if you marry Quarmy,


    you will be abandoned if you don''t behave yourself. Think about it carefully!"


    Yale returned to the bedroom after scolding her daughter. Zoe was still reading on the bed. When he


    saw hering in, he asked lightly, "What happened? Why was it so noisy?"


    "Madrigal was in a bad mood. She drank wine and went crazy."


    "Drunk?" Zoe put down the book and looked at Yale with disgust. "How did you discipline her? Don''t


    you know what not to do? Do you want me to lose job?"


    "Don''t be angry, Zoe. Listen to my exnation. Madrigal went to Jenny''s birthday party and drank a bit.


    She won''t drink outside."


    "Jenny''s birthday party? You really respect her." Zoe smiled coldly. Yale was a little scared. She forced


    herself to exin, "Jenny invited Madrigal. We couldn''t refuse."


    "Is that so? Do you think I am a three- year- old child?" Zoe stared at Yale. "Someone has solved the


    trouble you caused before. Now, as her mother, what you need to do now is to let her move on."


    "I know. Madrigal is always sensible and obedient. She made a scene just now because she was


    drunk. You know, she loves Quarmy. I''ve just scolded her."


    "She loves Quarmy? Didn''t Quarmy make it clear on TV?" Zoe sneered. "Let her stop dreaming. If she


    doesn''t give up on Quarmy, don''t me me for being heartless!"


    Yale agreed obediently. Her attitude finally made Zoe stop talking about this matter. Everything calmed


    down. Lying next to Zoe and listening to his calm breathing, Yale sneered. "A little impatience spoils


    great ns. Zoe, you''re just a pawn for me to achieve my goal. I''ll make you pay for what you did to me


    today! I swear!"
