"Okay, you win. Anyway, it's time for you to go bed. Don't forget you are pregnant. Your baby needs the rest as well." Lily said, remnants of laughter still escaping in between her words.
"Fine. Would you update Nelson when he comes back? Because this pregnant woman is going to get some sleep now." Linda shook her head, smiling.
It didn't take long for Linda to fall asleep.
For Linda, Anna and Lily were both her friends whom she completely trusted, so she slept peacefully.
Nelson and his men were swift to act, arriving at the railway station, soon after they left the Nalan compound.
Nelson went directly to the top manager of the crowded station.
After looking into the database of the railway system briefly, they found the information they needed. Stacy Kang was to board through Gate 14.
The train was due to board in five minutes and leave soon after, so Nelson and his men rushed to Gate 14.
Actually, Nelson had never seen Stacy before because she was too ordinary to be noticed among the group of servants at the Nalan clan.
Wearing a hat, Stacy was sitting at the waiting area for gate 14.
Stacy was tingly with excitement when she thought of going back home. She began to hum a merry little tune.
"Almost heaven. West Virginia. Blue Ridge Mountains. Shenandoah River... Stranger to blue water. Dark and dusty. Painted on the sky. Misty taste of moon shine. Tear drops in my eyes..."
As she sang, she began to reflect on her future. The reality was she was in her early 30s with no husband and no child.
Many years had went by since she became a servant for the Nalan clan.
She was employed by them in her early 20s. Now Stacy realized it was time to focus on her own life, so she resigned and decided to come back to her hometown, buying a house there, getting married and enjoying an idyllic life with her family.
The SH city was a big international city, so the lifestyle there was too busy for Stacy. Even though she had spent so many years in SH city, she found she couldn't fit in.
Stacy Kang failed to go to high school, because her parents were too poor to support her.
So she came to SH city to find a job. Stacy changed many jobs and all of them required her to work long hours for poor pay. Since she was ill-educated and had no skills, every job she could get was menial.
The turning point of her life came when she came upon the advertisement of vacancies for servants for the Nalan clan.
Then Stacy went to the interview and became one of the servants of the Nalan clan.
It turned out to be a well-paying job that included a room and meals.
However, she couldn't spend her whole life working for the Nalan clan. She wanted to get married and have her own family. All the men available to her in the Nalan clan were servants the same as her. She couldn't reconcile herself to marrying a servant.
Meanwhile, everyone from the Nalan family was apparently beyond her reach.
There's no way the Nalan clan could let any of their children marry a servant.
So two weeks ago, Stacy made up her mind to resign. The Nalan clan was pretty generous, offering her extra 100, 000 since she had worked so many years for them.
Stacy could rest for a very long time if she used her fortune wisely.
She felt pleased every-time she thought of the money.
The town Stacy came from was poor and small where anyone with 100, 000 deserved to be called rich.
Stacy's parents will be pleased to know their daughter came back from a large city with so many money which could buy them a beautiful house and
Support their son to go to college.
