A Vengeful Girl

Chapter 34 Making Soup

Then Amy Qi suddenly burst into tears, "Mother, I miss Charles so much. I haven't been away that

long. How could he be engaged?"

Violet Xing took a deep sigh, "There, there. Haven't I told you that I'm on your side? Besides, it's only a

fiancee. They haven't got married yet."

"But, wasn't the betrothal arranged by my father? He didn't want me as his daughter-in-law, did he?"

Amy Qi kept on sobbing in a low voice.

Violet Xing was filled with anger whenever she thought of the betrothal. She didn't say anything, but

she knew all about James Mu's secret crush on Sherry Nalan, Linda Xia's mother.

Her anger was revived everytime when she saw the resemblance of Sherry Nalan in Linda.

However, what's past was past, and there's no need to stir it up again in front of the children. Thus

Violet Xing decided to keep the secret to herself.

"It's just a silly joke between your father and Lord Xia when they were young. He just didn't know how

to turn him down later on. And Charles was too filial to go against his father. You just focus on making

Charles fall for you and leave your father to me."

Violet Xing's words put Amy Qi's mind at rest.

Amy Qi then stopped her whining and grabbed Violet Xing's arm like a little child, "I know you love me."

"Now, listen to me. You are going to make some tonic soup and bring it to Charles. Men all like

thoughtful wives. The point is that you have to do this before Linda Xia, and Charles will consider you

to be the one worthy of his hand in marriage."

Amy Qi was cheered up by the idea. Then she thought again and her smile began to fade, "But,

mother, I don't know anything about making soups..."

"My child, you don't have to. I've already set things up for you. I've sent for the experienced traditional

Chinese doctors from Rexin Tang earlier in the morning. They have a secret prescription to enrich

blood. The maids are making the soup in the kitchen, and you just wait for 3 more hours and drop it off

to Charles's. And then you will join him for lunch."

Violet Xing dotingly said to Amy Qi and then slightly touched her nose.

"I know. Thank you, mother!"

Amy Qi couldn't help holding Violet Xing out of joy. She knew she will win this one.

Linda was waiting for Bun to bring over the car, but to her huge surprise, Bun drove a red Lamborghini

from the garage... Bun said that Charles Mu bought this one long ago but hardly had the time to drive

around. And then he gave it to Bun as a gift when he found that she really loved it.

But it was the market that they were heading to... The least thing that Linda want was to make a fuss in

the market, so she told Bun to change for something more low-profile.

Bun could only drove the Lamborghini back and changed for a white Cadillac Escalade. Seeing that

Linda seemed unsatisfied with the replacement, Bun then said, "My Lady, this is the lamest car of

Young Master's collections. If you don't want this one, I could only drive you to the grocery shopping in

Young Master's limited edition of Bugatti Veyron."

"Don't... Please." Left with no other options, Linda had to get into the car.

A hundred thousands worth of car already seemed like a luxury to Linda... Let alone a car that costed

more than a million.

And it's the lamest one...

Thinking of the 20 million worth of Bugatti Veyron in the garage, Linda was given a vivid lesson on the

way how Charles Mu was burning his money.

They drove to the nearest market. However the 'lamest' Escalade drew more attention than they

expected, especially with the SA000000 license plate.

Luckily Linda only needed a few ingredients and she knew exactly where to find them. However, Bun

was really shocked by the fierce way that Linda bargained with the vendors.

It only took them 15 minutes to finish up and then they went back home.

In the kitchen.

Bun was like a curious baby who was following around and watching Linda's every move.

"My Lady... It's amazing... that you can make soup."

"Why the amazement? It's quite normal, isn't it?" Linda answered Bun with a soft smile. Her hair fell

over her shoulder as she lowered her head, so she wiped her hands and tied her hair up, then she

continued to wash the ingredients for the soup.

The ingredients were actually quite simple. They were only apples, red dates and walnuts.

They were all ordinary foods from grocery stores and nothing expensive.

But they worked every time.

Linda's foster mother had a small surgery a few years ago, and there was a massive hemorrhage

during the surgery.

Linda made the soup for her foster mother everyday until she recovered.

As for Charles Mu, Linda was sure that it woundn't take a week before he could be restored to health.

Linda washed and diced apples, and then put all the other ingredients into the pot.

She boiled all the ingredientd before throwing in the wolfberries, and then she turned off the fire.

The soup was done smoothly.

All she had to do was to wait for Charles's return.

Linda washed her hands and was about to take some rest when the security guard came in to inform

her, "My Lday, Lady Qi is here."

What was she doing here? Linda simply waved her hand at the guard and drowsily rested herself in the

garden, "I don't want to see her."

But honestly, Linda didn't think the security guard could stop Amy Qi. Linda majored in psychology and

micro expressions, therefore a simple contact would be enough for her to profile someone's personality.

Amy Qi travelled all the way here with the soup prepared by Violet Xing, only to find the door slammed

in her face.

"I'm sorry, Lady Qi. My Lady had been taken ill and can't see you for the moment."

The security guard tried to drive Amy Qi away with an excuse.

Amy Qi was pissed off. "I'm not here for her! It's Charles that I want to see!"

"Young Master is not home."

"You..." Amy Qi's fairly white fingers was shaking as she pointed at the security guard in fury. How dare

a lowly security guard tell her what to do?

She was the Lady of the Qi clan, and no one had done such things to her.

The security guard was desperate when he saw Amy Qi's furious face, but he had been given an

explicit order to deny her entry and so he tried again, "Would you like to wait here for Young Master?"

What? Wait here? How can it be! How could she!

Amy Qi walked straightly pass the front door with her soup and high-heels.

The security guard hurried up and tried to stop her, "Lady Qi, you can't break in like this!" © NôvelDrama.Org - All rights reserved.

"Get out of my way! Have you no idea who I am? Try and stop me again, and you're going to wish you

didn't." Amy Qi shouted at him.

The security guard trembled and gave up.

Linda was lying on the garden with her eyes closed, enjoying her moment of relax while being

surrounded by the blue sky, floating cloud and the breeze.

Everything was perfect, Except...

The noise. Even it's 100 yards from the garden, Linda could still hear Amy Qi screaming and fussing

around at the front door.

Bun curled her lips, "Lady Qi is quite the screamer, we could hear her even from here."
