Amy Qi didn't understand at first, "What do you mean?"
Then she realized that Linda was calling her a bitch. Her delicate face was crooked out of fury, "You..."
Violet had no time to waste on such quarrels. She turned to Anna Xu and asked in stern voice, "How is Charles? Is it serious?"
Anna Xu answered with a smile, "Young Master is fine. The bullet went through his shoulder was taken out during the surgery. The only problem is blood loss, and he could use some extra care for the moment."
"Should he stay here in the hospital?"
"There's no need. Just go home and rest for two weeks, then he will be alright."
Violet Xing felt relieved at last, then turned to Charles Mu, "Charles, come home with me. I will find someone to look after you."
Charles Mu shook his head calmly, "I'm fine, Linda will take care of me. There's no need to bother you."
Then Charles Mu glanced at Linda with rising eyebrows, "What are you looking at? Aren't you coming over to help me up?"
Linda gave Paul a look, summoning him to look after Bun for her, then she hurried to Charles's side to held him up.
Charles Mu was about to get up and put on his shoes.
"Slow down, let me help you." Linda gave Charles Mu a sweet smile. In comparison, sucking up to Charles seemed like a small price to pay if it meant that she could piss Amy Qi off.
Charles Mu stared at the woman squatting down before him and putting his shoes on for him. There was a subtle hint of mixed feeling in his eyes.
Linda carefully held her hands around his strong waist as he stood up and carried him toward the door.
Charles Mu put all his weight on Linda Xia, and she couldn't hold it anymore as it's getting more and more heavy when she was trudging out of the hospital.
"Hey, you jerk. That's enough! Don't push your luck!" Linda Xia gnashed her teeth.
Charles Mu put on an innocent face, "What? I'm injured, haven't you heard what Anna said? I've lost too much blood, so it's natural that my legs are too feeble to walk."
"..."
Linda tried and failed to argue back.
Paul and Bun soon followed them out. Paul brought over the car and drove them back to the Mu clan.
On the other hand, after seeing the intimacy between Charles Mu and Linda and hearing that 'My Lady', Amy Qi was so enraged that she couldn't breath smoothly.
She was still trying to catch her breath even if Linda Xia had gone.
Amy Qi's jealousy reached its zenith when she saw Charles Mu leaning against Linda with her arm wrapping around Charles's waist.
Charles Mu had been avoiding her every attempt of close physical contact since they were young. How on earth did he allow this woman to put on his shoes for him?
How could she hold his waist and went home with him?
Violet Xing had no way to stop her son from leaving, and she could only said to Amy QI, "Amy, don't be upset. You know I won't allow anyone else to be the daught-in-law of the Mu clan."
"Yes, I know. I know I'm not good enough, and that's why Charles don't want me. I should try harder." Violet felt sorry for Amy when she saw Amy was about to cry.
Then she grabbed Amy's hand, "There, there. Have you told your father and mother that you're back? Why don't you come home with me? I have something to tell you. It's about Charles."
"Yes, I've told my parents.'" Amy Qi blinked like a lovely doll.
Charles sent Paul to bring him the laptop for business when they get home. Luckily, the contract was already signed before he got ambushed by a sniper.
Charles Mu seemed quite well, so Linda was at ease.
Besides, Paul was there for him. It seemed nothing would go wrong.
