Chapter 58 Only Because I Deem You Worthy


    That was definitely not what Derek Xie wanted to hear from Linda. He then put on an angry face and


    said, "My dear niece. That''s not kind. You are about to marry into a noble family. Aren''t you going to


    give your own uncle a little help? I just want to have my own hot-pot restaurant. It is as simple as that."


    "You call that simple?" Linda stared at him coldly.


    Derek Xie had never bought Linda anything since she was little. And all Linda could remember was he


    kept asking Donna Xie for money over and over again.


    But what''s past was past. Linda had no intention to rake things up.


    What Linda would never forgive was that Derek Xie disappeared right after when he heard that Donna


    Xie was ill and in need of arge amount of money. He locked his door and declined all Linda''s calls.


    Linda could only take Donna Xie to the hospital in the middle of the night by herself, helpless and in


    tear.


    "What? Why are you looking at me like that? It''s just 300, 000. It''s not like you can''t afford it. Now that


    my nephew-inw is here, I don''t think that''s too much for both the Xia n and the Mu n." Derek


    Xie just shrugged and kept rambling on. If her mother wasn''t there, Linda would turned around and left


    the room immediately.


    All the while Charles Mu stood quietly besides with his eyes fixed on Linda. And Linda knew he would


    always stand by her.


    "How dare you say that? How about you give me 300, 000 for fun?" Linda took a deep breath while


    clinching her fists to stay calm. It was too depressing here.


    "Why can''t I say that? My nephew-inw is such a wealthy man, and I can''t even talk about it?"


    eximed Derek Xie.


    Rattled by the quarrel between the two, Donna Xie said, "Linda, don''t be rude to your uncle. Perhaps


    he really needs money..."


    "Mother, don''t you see what kind of person he is by now?"


    Linda really didn''t know what to do with her mother''s submissive character. Donna Xie was raised in a


    family that only cared about boys. She didn''t have much education and was always bullied by Derek


    Xie. All those made her prone to Derek Xie''s ridiculous demands.


    But Linda was not Donna Xie!


    There was no way that she would ever believe someone like Derek Xie would actuallye around


    someday. Talking about building his own business? It was way too fishy.


    Derek Xie was a habitual gambler who wasted a great deal of money on gambling.


    He kept whatever he won and came to his father and sister for money everytime he lost.


    "Tell me honestly, did you lose in gambling again?" Linda eyed Derek Xie dismissively.


    "I certainly did not! How can I lost that much money! I really just want to run a restaurant and build my


    own business. It has nothing to do with gambling debts."


    "Really?"


    "Really, it is. Don''t you trust your own uncle?"


    "Tell me again, did you lose the money in gambling?"


    Derek Xie was getting a little impatient, "I told you I didn''t. How can I lose 300, 000. I wouldn''t know


    where to find that much money, my niece."


    Upon hearing those words, Linda chose to ignore him. She then tucked Donna Xie''s quilt and went out


    to get some water.


    Linda looked at Derek Xie once again when she came back in, "Last chance, Derek Xie. Did you lose


    money in gambling?"


    Derek Xie burst into anger all of a sudden, "How many time do I have to tell you? I did not lose any


    money. Can''t you hear me, you foolish girl?"


    Linda asked him the same question three times, and then she was convinced that Derek Xie was lying.


    He must have lost the money in gambling.


    ording to psychological theories, if someone was telling a lie, their answer to the same question


    would remain unchanged for the first and second time. However, when they thought they had fooled


    others, they would be calm and rx for the time being. And then if they were asked again with


    the same question, they would responded furiously and aggressively since their bodies were not in a


    defensive state.


    Derek Xie was obviously furious.


    Linda passed the ss of water to Donna Xie, and then grabbed her purse and held Charles Mu''s arm,


    "Fine, suit yourself. I won''t give you anything anyway."


    Then she turned to Charles Mu, who was looking at her, "Can you find my mother somewhere else?


    Some better ce that won''t let someone like him in."


    Charles Mu fondled Linda''s head and nodded, "I''ve already had it arranged. Paul is on his way here to


    bring mother to the Mu n''s private facility."


    "Thank you."


    Linda''s eyes were sore and wet, she didn''t know what else to say as she was touched by his


    thoughtfulness.


    The minute Charles Mu walked into this hospital, he had already sent Paul a text and told him toe


    over immediately.


    15 minutester, Paul showed up with the nurses of the Mu n''s private hospital. They carried Donna


    Xie carefully into the ambnce and left. Linda and Charles Mu got into their car as well.


    N?velDrama.Org is the owner.


    No sooner had Linda gotten into the passenger seat when Derek Xie dashed over to the car. He


    grabbed the door and knelt to the ground, "Linda, my dear niece. I confess!" I did lost 300, 000 in


    gambling. But I promise I won''t gamble any more. Please help me."


    Linda felt her head was aching, "I''ve heard it a million times since I was little."


    She sounded calm enough, but her good mood had already been ruined by her uncle.


    Derek Xie had lost money in gambling before, but never this much. So in the past, Linda had always


    kept a blind eye to it whenever he asked money from her mother.


    But 300, 000?


    "It''s true, I''m telling you the truth. Please help me. Today is my deadline. If I can''t pay the debts, they


    will cut off one of my arms and spill dog blood at my front door. Please, Lily is preparing the exam for


    college. I can''t do this to her."


    Linda was determined not to help him this time. And just when she was about to turn him down, "Paul,


    go get him 300, 000." Charles Mu''s voice came from the driver''s seat. Derek Xie felt he had never


    heard anything more melodious than his words.


    "Yes, Young Master."


    Linda turned around in surprise, "Charles Mu, you..."


    "Now, honey, just 300, 000. Take it as a charity work before our wedding ceremony." Charles Mu put


    his hands on the steering wheel and started the car, and then he nced at Derek Xie, who let go of


    the door unconsciously because of the coldness in his eyes.


    The Buggati Veyron roared and dashed away.


    After the car had sped away, the sincerity in Derek Xie''s face vanished immediately. He spat angrily on


    the ground, stamping and cursing as they drove away, "Pah! I wouldn''t be taking your money if I don''t


    deem you worthy. You condescending bitch!"
