A Vengeful Girl novel Chapter 58

That was definitely not what Derek Xie wanted to hear from Linda. He then put on an angry face and said, "My dear niece. That's not kind. You are about to marry into a noble family. Aren't you going to give your own uncle a little help? I just want to have my own hot-pot restaurant. It is as simple as that."

"You call that simple?" Linda stared at him coldly.

Derek Xie had never bought Linda anything since she was little. And all Linda could remember was he kept asking Donna Xie for money over and over again.

But what's past was past. Linda had no intention to rake things up.

What Linda would never forgive was that Derek Xie disappeared right after when he heard that Donna Xie was ill and in need of a large amount of money. He locked his door and declined all Linda's calls.

Linda could only take Donna Xie to the hospital in the middle of the night by herself, helpless and in tear.

"What? Why are you looking at me like that? It's just ￥300, 000. It's not like you can't afford it. Now that my nephew-in-law is here, I don't think that's too much for both the Xia clan and the Mu clan." Derek Xie just shrugged and kept rambling on. If her mother wasn't there, Linda would turned around and left the room immediately.

All the while Charles Mu stood quietly besides with his eyes fixed on Linda. And Linda knew he would always stand by her.

"How dare you say that? How about you give me ￥300, 000 for fun?" Linda took a deep breath while clinching her fists to stay calm. It was too depressing here.

"Why can't I say that? My nephew-in-law is such a wealthy man, and I can't even talk about it?" exclaimed Derek Xie.

Rattled by the quarrel between the two, Donna Xie said, "Linda, don't be rude to your uncle. Perhaps he really needs money..."

"Mother, don't you see what kind of person he is by now?"

Linda really didn't know what to do with her mother's submissive character. Donna Xie was raised in a family that only cared about boys. She didn't have much education and was always bullied by Derek Xie. All those made her prone to Derek Xie's ridiculous demands.

But Linda was not Donna Xie!

There was no way that she would ever believe someone like Derek Xie would actually come around someday. Talking about building his own business? It was way too fishy.

Derek Xie was a habitual gambler who wasted a great deal of money on gambling.

He kept whatever he won and came to his father and sister for money everytime he lost.

"Tell me honestly, did you lose in gambling again?" Linda eyed Derek Xie dismissively.

"I certainly did not! How can I lost that much money! I really just want to run a restaurant and build my own business. It has nothing to do with gambling debts."

"Really?"

"Really, it is. Don't you trust your own uncle?"

"Tell me again, did you lose the money in gambling?"

Derek Xie was getting a little impatient, "I told you I didn't. How can I lose ￥300, 000. I wouldn't know where to find that much money, my niece."

Upon hearing those words, Linda chose to ignore him. She then tucked Donna Xie's quilt and went out to get some water.
