A Vengeful Girl novel Chapter 478

"My Lady, it's currently rush hour, so there are a lot of vehicles on the road. Besides, a pile-up has occurred on the viaduct in front of us, due to a car accident, causing us to get stuck in traffic for about half an hour. We can't do anything but be patient about it. Anyway, they're clearing it up, so we should be on the go soon."

Linda nodded and thought that they really could do nothing about the situation since there was a minor crash on the road.

When they arrived at the gate of the Nalan clan's house, it was already 7:30 PM.

A servant was waiting anxiously by the gate. He kept glancing at the road, anticipating Linda's arrival.

When he saw that Linda's car was finally approaching, his face lit up with relief. He, then, ran up to Linda and said, "My Lady, what took you so long? Is everything okay? His Lordship and the other clan members have been waiting for you for a long time."

"There was a car accident on the road, so we got stuck in traffic."

"My Lady, you should go inside now. I will help you park your car."

Bun got out of the car and gave the car key to the servant. After that, they entered the house. When they had just stepped foot in the living room, Linda heard someone complain, "Grandfather, we should start having dinner now. Linda is inconsiderate. Not only will she come back only today for the first time after she has gotten married, but she has also kept us waiting so long. She's being disrespectful to you!"

Linda knew that the familiar voice was from Rosy Nalan.

"No, Linda is not that kind of person. Perhaps, there's something unexpected. I'm sure she will tell us why she's late when she gets here. Let's wait a little longer. She will get here very soon, " said Lord Nalan slowly.

"The dinner would get cold, and cold food is not good for your age. We should start eating now. Linda is also our family member, so she would understand."

"That's right. It is very rude of Linda to keep us waiting for so long!"

While hearing their complaints, Linda was a bit embarrassed to show her face to them. She was indeed late and had kept her grandfather waiting for so long. She told him that she would reach the house before 6:30 PM, but she ended up arriving at 7:30 PM.

When she walked toward the table, Lord Nalan saw her, and he instantly looked very delighted. But the others seemed annoyed by her presence as if she owed them a large sum of money.

"Grandfather, I'm sorry for being late, " apologized Linda.

"It doesn't matter as long as you have arrived here safely. Come over here, and have a seat. I will ask the servants to heat the food." Lord Nalan was very happy to see Linda. There wasn't any sign of annoyance on his face.

While noticing that Lord Nalan was nice to Linda, Rosy wore a livid face filled with rage. She was indignant because Lord Nalan had always showed partiality to Linda.

Lord Nalan was a punctual man, and he hated it when others, especially his children or grandchildren, were late. Rosy was once five minutes late for dinner, so Lord Nalan scolded her about it. Now, Linda was an hour late, but Lord Nalan wasn't even the least bit of mad at all. He even said that he didn't mind as long as Linda had gotten there safe. Rosy became even more furious by this thought.

"There was a car accident, and a pile-up had occurred on the viaduct, so we were caught in a traffic jam for about half an hour." Although Lord Nalan didn't ask Linda about what had happened, Linda thought that it was necessary for her to explain it to him since being late was rude. In fact, Linda had a strong sense of time, but she didn't expect that her arrival would be delayed by the traffic congestion.

Bun and Anna waited for Linda outside the dining room. After all, the dinner was for the Nalan clan's members, so it would be inappropriate for them to have dinner together on the same table with the Nalan clan's members. But the Nalan clan extended its hospitality to them and prepared some delicious food for them, so they wouldn't get hungry.

"Why didn't you set out earlier? You are an hour late. Do you think this dinner is a joke?" Rosy murmured in a low voice.
