Chapter 62 Something Fishy in the Subsidiary


    Linda clenched Charles Mu''s hand subconsciously which soothed her nerve.


    "James, sorry for that."


    The suddenmotion embarrassed Johnson Xia. He looked at James Mu awkwardly. Little did he


    know that his second daughter would be so disappointing, which made he regret having spoiled her for


    so many years.


    "It''s OK. Johnson, let''s get back to the engagement issue. The eighteenth day of this month is a good


    day. Let''s make it the engagement day, shall we?" James Mu smiled slight as if nothing had happened.


    Born in a rich family, James Mu had been used to this sort of thing and could easily remain indifferent.


    He knew clearly about what Bun was capable of. Linda couldn''t possibly get hurt.


    "Okay. Well, it''s all my fault. I failed to get Linda back earlier. She had gone through a hard time when


    she wasn''t living with us." Johnson Xia looked quite remorseful.


    Linda noticed that he had some more grey hairs. He must have been shocked greatly at what


    happened to Lisa Xia.


    "Luckily she''s back now. I''ll be nice to her after she marries my son." James Mu stroked his mustache


    and gave an approving look at her.


    Being looked at like that, Linda felt a little shy and subconsciously leaned against Charles Mu.


    After a small conversation, the engagement ceremony for Linda and Charles Mu was formalized. They


    would leave the Xia n for home after the lunch.


    Linda wanted to spare some time for a visit to her stepmother Donna Xie.


    After Donna Xie was transferred to the private hospital of the Mu n, Linda requested Anna to give


    her a detailed physical examination and nned to fetch the body check report this afternoon.


    N?velDrama.Org is the owner.


    Linda''s arrival today had put Johnson Xia in a much better mood, so he drank a lot of wine at table.


    Linda asked tentatively.


    "Father, didn''t you say you would transfer my stepmother to the best hospital? Which hospital was she


    in? I have not asked you until now. But I''d like to see her this afternoon."


    Johnson Xia filled his ss again and replied, "Yes. May arranged that. I didn''t ask. I''ll ask her when


    shees out."


    In Johnson Xia''s heart, May Shen was always a virtuous and broad-minded woman. She had always


    been generous to Linda Xia in front of him, which moved him a lot.


    Hearing the name of May Shen, Linda and Charles Mu looked at each other in tacit understanding,


    "Father, in fact, I have visited my stepmother with Charles yesterday... She was in a dpidated


    hospital... The hospital was extremely dirty with cockroaches and mosquitoes flying around."


    Linda felt like crying as she spoke. Tears rolled down her cheeks from her bright eyes, which was a


    tear-jerking sight to look upon.


    "Girl, that was quite a performance." Charles Mu held Linda in his arms and whispered to her as if he


    wereforting his sad wife.


    "Hum." After the slight humming, Linda kept on crying.


    "Someone go get my wife here." shouted Johnson Xia whose face got ghastly pale while he thumped


    on the table.


    The servant next to him trembled and immediately rushed upstairs. Never had he seen his Lord so


    angry.


    At that moment, May Shen wasforting Lisa Xia in her bedroom and asked her to restrain herself.


    Lisa Xia didn''t feel better until May Shen promised to persecute Linda severely.


    "My Lady, His Lordship is sending for you."


    May Shen looked cold, "For what?"


    Many servants were loyal to May Shen, so she asked without much care.


    "Lady Lindained to His Lordship tearfully that her stepmother was sent to a dpidated hospital


    instead of the best one. His Lordship looks furious." The servant reported to her faithfully.


    Hum?"


    May Shen gave an odd smile.


    Just as she expected, Linda Xia came back today for something bigger. Luckily May Shen had had a


    backup n.


    May Shen took a deep breath. She asked Lisa Xia to take a good rest and not to get angry as it would


    be harmful for the baby.


    Then she straightened her dress and headed for the living room.


    "Johnson, what''s up?" May Shen entered the living room. She still looked like a greatdy, a good wife


    and a kind mother who was gentle and generous.


    "Didn''t I ask you to send Linda''s stepmother to the best hospital? But what have you done? Why did


    Linda tell me it was a dpidated hospital?" Johnson Xia still looked angry. But he wasn''t too mean


    because he was asking thedy he liked.


    "What? How is this possible? I asked Vincent to take care of it!" May Shen looked baffled and then


    instructed the servant next to her.


    "Go get Vincent here."


    Vincent Zhou was the son of the old butler in the Xia n. After the old butler retired, Vincent Zhou was


    then taking care of everything for the family.


    Hearing that May Shen asked Vincent Zhou to take care of her stepmother, Linda guessed that this


    must be some kind of May Shen''s backup n.


    Soon Vincent Zhou came over and said respectfully after a bow, "My Lord, My Lady, what can I do for


    you?''


    "My wife asked you to send Linda''s stepmother to the best hospital. Tell me what you''ve done."


    Vincent Zhou replied, "I haven''t sent her there yet. The best Chaoyang Hospital requires patients to


    queue for admittance. So I took her to a nearby hospital first where I have friends. I think it''s more


    convenient to take care of her there. Yesterday afternoon, Chaoyang Hospital called and informed me


    of a vacant bed. But when I went to pick her up, I was told that she was taken away by Lady Linda and


    Young Master Mu."


    What he had said took the edge off Johnson''s fury, "Why didn''t you inform Lady Linda? She is very filial


    and you''ve got her worried."


    "It was negligence on my part. Sorry, My Lady." Vincent Zhou turned around and bowed at Linda Xia.


    Linda sneered in her heart. It seemed that Vincent Zhou was also loyal to May Shen.


    Linda somehow felt a bit sympathetic towards Johnson Xia. If she hadn''te back, Johnson Xia


    would have been made a mere figurehead. May Shen was controlling everything including servants,


    butlers and evenpany businesses.


    "Well, it''s OK." Linda nodded.


    Now it was meaningless to dwell on this issue. May Shen must have expected Linda to find it out. So


    she must have taken precautions in advance.


    Thinking of this, Linda smiled, "Father, I''m getting engaged to Charles. Look how capable he is! As his


    wife, I should practice myself so that I may help him, right? I''ve looked it up. We have a subsidiary


    called Huiteng Network trading in online games. It has been losing money all the time. Why don''t you


    hand it over to me for a try?"


    What she just said rmed May Shen, "You don''t want that, Linda. Huiteng Network has been losing


    money. We''ll announce its closureter this year. Don''t bother yourself with it."


    Linda had learnt psychology and micro-expression systematically. She smiled secretly when she saw


    the look on May Shen''s face. There must be something fishy in this subsidiary.


    "Hmm, is that so? Then I feel more like trying it and let''s see if I can bring new hope to my father''s


    <ppany."
