Chapter 71 What Else Can Make You Happy


    "Alright, I''ming right away." Lisa Xia nodded her head hastily as if the man on the phone was the


    only one who could save her from her misery.


    The man sounded so soft and gentle, and Lisa Xia imagined she might be treated well when she came


    to him...


    She sneaked back to her room after hung up the phone and then grabbed some clothing randomly


    from her closet, together with some cash, bank cards and her ID. Lisa Xia then kept low and tiptoed


    along the windows to the unguarded backdoor.


    Lisa Xia knew the house well for she had lived there for twenty odd years. She was familiar with each


    and every path and backdoor and so she could leave the vi without been noticed.


    So no one saw exactly how she got out of the vi.


    While on the other side, the test report of the salty water was out half an hourter.


    That bowl of water contained 0.1 gram of nitrite.


    Nitrite was nothing like salt, it was lethal.


    Johnson Xia could only sighed while shaking his head when he heard the result. It seemed he was still


    not able to hate May Shen for what she had done to him. And instead of fury, his mind was filled up


    with guilt.


    Johnson Xia couldn''t even describe how bitter and desperate it was when he found out that the one


    who had shared the bed with him for decades was trying to kill him.


    "Anna, if someone were fed with nitrite, how long will it take for it to be lethal?" asked Linda after


    thinking for a while.


    May Shen had married Johnson Xia for almost 15 years, and no one knew when she started to poison


    him. It was unlikely that she had been doing this for 15 years.


    "Between two weeks and a month, I think. But the thing is, those who identally ate nitrite may be


    misdiagnosed as having food poison by inexperienced doctors. And it could be really dangerous if they


    simply take the medicine to clean up their stomach and intestines." Anna Xu thought for a moment


    before answering Linda.


    One month ago? It was exactly between the time Linda wet back to the Xia n and the time she


    married into the Mu n.


    So that''s when it started...


    May Shen did not only sent someone to kill Linda on that bridge and then tried to cover it up as a


    simple traffic ident, and she also wanted to murder her own husband.


    "Then will my father be alright?"


    "He is fine. Luckily we found it in early stage since any dy could put his life in real danger. But don''t


    worry, My Lady. I''ll take good care of Lord Xia. And to be honest, he is... ording to my diagnosis,


    Lord Xia is quite weak and could really use some tonics."


    Anna Xu didn''t say it straightly for she was still an unmarried woman.


    Johnson Xia seemed at least over fifty.


    Though Anna Xu didn''t say the word, Johnson Xia couldn''t help blushing embarrassedly.


    The drama on the Xia''s vi seemed to have exhausted everyone. Linda, especially, felt both her body


    and mind were worn out.


    The truth came out unexpectedly along with equal disappointment.


    Linda had always longed for her revenge, and it seemed she had had it by now.


    May Shen had been taken to the bureau. ording to the evidence collected by Charles Mu,


    attempted murder andmercial fraud would be enough to put her behind bars for at least eight


    years.


    Anna Xu then listed dozens of medicines for Johnson Xia, whose body seemed to be drained by May


    Shen''s years of endless needs, and he could really use some good rest to restore his energy.


    Linda insisted that she should go with Anna Xu to the hospital and fetch the medicine for Johnson Xia


    herself.


    Linda knew she was the only daughter that Johnson Xia had got. So Linda felt it was her responsibility


    to do whatever she could to take good care of her own father. As for Linda''s birth mother Sherry Nn,


    she died young and Linda remembered little about her, since they didn''t really have much mother-


    daughter time together.


    The only image Linda could recall about her mother was a photo from some file she collected. Sherry


    Nn seemed like a quiet, gentle and gracefully beautifuldy.


    It had almost been four in the afternoon when Linda and Charles Mu finally settled things down and


    then went back to the Mu''s vi.


    Bun told the chef to prepare something delicious for dinner after they got home. They had been busy all


    morning and missed their lunch, and therefore they surely deserved a nice big dinner. At least she


    could never let Linda starved, who had always enjoyed delicious food so much.


    Only that Linda still seemed pretty down when they reached home and somehow lost her appetite. She


    had a feeling that things were not done yet, and her stomach seemed to constrict whenever she


    thought about it.


    Bun knew what happened earlier was too much for Linda, and that''s why she asked the chef to cook


    some of Linda''s favorates, with which Bun hoped to at least cheer Linda up a little bit.


    Bun served in the armed police force before, and she had executed as many missions for the Mu n


    as she did for the country. All she had been through made her indifferent to what she saw earlier in the


    Xia n...


    Sometimes, being born into a wealthy n and being surrounded by celebrities and business


    magnates could be a cruel thing.


    Johnson Xia could have had a happy and devoted marriage with May Shen if he had not been the


    second son of the wealthy Xia n. And May Shen would never have done such things to him if he had


    been just a ordinary man.


    Though there could be a possibility that May Shen wouldn''t even take an interest in Johnson Xia in the


    first ce.


    All in all, people live their lives in pursuit of their own interests.


    As soon as the chef of the Mu''s n served the dishes that Linda liked most, Bun went upstairs to find


    Linda. Meanwhile, Charles Mu was hosting a video meeting of the senior executives of the Mu''s


    project, and there was not a minute to waste.


    "My Lady, the dinner''s ready." Bun stuck her head in the room and giggled.


    "Not now, I don''t feel like eating for the moment." Linda waved her hands dismissively.

    A refusal just as Bun had expected... Bun then came right into the room and pulled Linda from the


    chair, "No, My Lady. You haven''t had anything for lunch, and if you don''t eat something for dinner, even


    your boobs will go t out of starvation."


    Linda suddenly burst into chuckles at Bun''s quip. Then she could but follow Bun downstairs to the


    dining room.


    Linda was not in the mood for dinner, so shey down her forks after just a few bites. Bun frowned with


    disapproval. Lady Linda used to enjoy those dishes!


    How could she eat so little this time?


    Bun was thinking when Charles Mu strode into the dining room, and she immediately reported to him,


    "Young Master, Lady Linda was not eating. Those are all her favorites, please tell her to have some


    more."


    Linda didn''t know whether tough or cry at all. She then patted Bun''s head with a warning re,


    "Damn it, Bun! Did you just snitch on me? You''ve got some nerve!"


    Charles Mu took a seat next to Linda and nced over the food in front of them. Coke chicken wings,


    beef and bean vermicelli soup, yellow croaker with vinegar sauce...


    Those were her favorites.


    "What''s the matter, sweetheart? Even the delicious food can''t satisfy you? Then what else can make


    you happy? Let me see."


    Standing beside them, Bun pointed at Charles Mu and smoothly answered for Linda, "I''m happy when


    you are happy."


    Linda nked out for a second before she realized what Bun meant...


    Just as Linda was about to looked up at Bun, she was carried up by Charles Mu.
