Chapter 151 The Rong Family''s Reunion


    In an old, dpidated house that had been scheduled for demolition and was hundreds of miles away


    from H City...


    "Zachary, I just got the information that Gavin Rong''s daughter hase back from America!"


    A middle-aged humpbacked man in his fifties opened the door. He entered a concrete room and


    reported the information to the man who was lying on the bed and smoking.


    The man who was smoking was in a worn gray shirt. His sleeves were rolled up, revealing a deep,


    scarlet scar on his arm which extended to the deep inside of the sleeve.


    "That old fox didn''te back himself?" the man asked in a hoarse voice.


    "Yes, he didn''te back. Our subordinates reported that only a young girl came back. It seems that


    she''s about to take part in a dance performance, " the humpbacked man said after a pause.


    The other man sat up on the bed and extinguished his cigarette by pressing the burning end with his


    finger. Time had wrinkled his face, but it hadn''t sapped his hatred. His eyes were shing with a desire


    for revenge.


    "Tell our men to get ready. This time, I''ll teach that old fox a good lesson!"


    —


    It was time to get off work, but Rachel didn''t move. She waited for most of the staff to leave before


    secretly walking into the exclusive elevator.


    After the elevator stopped, she headed directly to the CEO''s office.


    Most of the workers had gone home. Only Ben and Chad were still there.


    "Rachel, help me give this file to the CEO." Assistant Ben had been about to open the door, but when


    he saw Rachel, he nodded to her with a smile and said that.


    So she took the file from his hand and opened the door.


    As soon as she entered into the CEO''s office, she saw Hiram still busy himself with work. His long


    fingers were moving fast on the keyboard. He gave her a nce when he heard her walk in.


    "Sit down first. You have to wait for me for about thirty minutes."


    When Hiram was concentrating on work, he looked even more handsome and attractive than usual.


    Rachel put the file on his office table, then propped up her chin with her hands and set her eyes on


    Hiram. "My phone is off. Can I have yours to pass the time?"


    Her phone was off because she had forgotten to charge itst night.


    Without a nce at Rachel, Hiram grabbed his phone and passed it to her right away.


    Rachel took it and sat on a sofa nearby.


    She found it boring to use his phone. There was no selfie application or any funny games on it. She


    opened the photo gallery in his phone, but there were only a few photos inside, and they were all


    materials rted to work.


    Finally, she found a game, but she couldn''t y it well because it was in English and she couldn''t react


    to it as fast as she could do to the games in her mother tongue.


    There was nothing fun to do on his phone. She nced at Hiram and found that he was still doing his


    work. She opened his contact list.


    Hiram and Daniel were extremely different. In Daniel''s contact list, all the girls were named things like


    ''honey''. However, almost all the names in Hiram''s contact list were necessary and rted to his work.


    Even her name was saved as Rachel. That was too formal!


    After thinking for a little while, Rachel changed her name to ''Babe''. ''Um, it''s too sweet, '' she thought.


    Then she changed ''Babe'' into ''Wife''.


    Just as she finished saving it, the phone rang.


    Rachel looked at the name on the phone. It was Joanna. He had even saved his mother''s phone


    number with her first name. Was it necessary for him to be so careful?


    But came to think of it, he was born in a rich but mysterious family, so maybe it was his family''s style to


    do things so prudently and carefully.


    She walked to the office table and showed him the phone. "Mom is calling, " she said.


    Hiram looked up at her and took the phone.


    "Hello, mom..."


    "Hiram,e for dinner tonight. I''ve ordered the servant to cook many dishes. Ask Rachel if she wants


    toe too. But I think it''s better if youe together."


    Joanna put it that way because she wasn''t sure if Rachel would want toe. She knew Rachel


    wouldn''t want to see Lydia, so she left it up to Hiram to ask her.


    "Okay, I know."


    Hiram hung up the phone. He knew Lydia hade back from America, so it wasn''t a surprise for him


    to receive a call from his mother.


    Rachel was standing in front of the office table, looking at him questioningly.


    "Mom wanted me to ask you if you want toe for dinner." Hiram put down the phone. After he saved


    his file, he turned off theputer.


    "Of course I want toe. Why wouldn''t I?" Rachel said. She set her eyes on the wedding ring on his


    Content from N?velDr(a)ma.Org.


    left hand and continued, "It''s your home and it''s mine, too. My sister-inw hase back from


    America. As her brother''s wife, shouldn''t I visit her?"


    Hiram stood up, put on his coat and walked to her. "Okay, If you want toe, thene. Don''t worry.


    I''m always with you, " he said with a smile.


    "So what if you''re not with me? I''m your wife. Why would I be afraid of a small girl?" As Rachel spoke,


    Hiram approached her and held her waist.


    "Yeah. Who can scare you? You''re not even afraid of me." Hiram kissed her on her lips. "Rachel, my


    dear wife, thank you for not ming Lydia. I know you''re only tolerating her because of me."


    They stopped before opening the door of the office.


    "Don''t tter me. When did I say that I don''t me Lydia?" Rachel raised her eyebrows and put her


    hands around his neck, then added, "But what you said isn''t totally wrong. I am tolerant."


    Hiram ruffled her soft hair and looked at her with his starry eyes. He chuckled and said, "Let''s go. We


    should leave early and buy some gifts on our way home."


    "Okay! But you should promise that you will take my side if we have an argument!"


    Rachel said as she opened the door, reminding him to protect her.


    After all, no one knew how things would be between her and Lydia. If something unpleasant happened


    and she couldn''t keep her temper in check, she would need Hiram to take sides.


    "Of course. You''re my wife. If I don''t take your side, who will?" Hiram said confidently. He held Rachel''s


    waist and walked out of the office.


    Rachel pouted. Then, remembering thest time she had asked him such a sensitive question, she


    smiled. She had asked him, if he could save only one person between her and Lydia, who he would


    choose. He had answered quickly and confidently then, just like this time.


    But fate sometimes likes to y jokes on people.


    In reality, people often get a rude shock when the ones they trust don''t keep their promises.


    Outside the house of the Rong family, Rachel could already hear their excited voices andughter.


    Lydia''sughter sounded pure and sincere.


    "My daughter has good taste. I like these clothes. They are much better than the ones I bought in H


    City!" Joanna said with a smile. She couldn''t help expressing her satisfaction.


    "Mom, it is because you look so young. If you don''t tell people your real age, they will think that you''re


    just forty years old!" Lydia said sweetly and put her arm around Joanna''s neck.


    That was the scene Rachel saw as soon as she entered into the house. The intimacy between the


    mom and daughter seldom appeared in the rtionship of mother-inw and daughter-inw.


    When Lydia saw Hiram and Rachel enter the house, the smile on her face froze for a second. Then she


    quickly stood up.


    "Hiram, Rachel, you''vee, " she said.
