A Vengeful Girl novel Chapter 83

"Right, why?"

Linda shook her head and exchanged a glance with Charles Mu, "Nothing, I'm just asking."

About 90 dumplings were made and boiled for five people to eat.

Linda served some sauce including vinegar and soy sauce to go with them. Then a traditional lunch of dumplings was thus finished.

As they began to eat, Linda called to Bun and Paul who stood beside them, "Come on, Bun, Paul, why don't we eat together?"

Paul shook his head and smiled, "No, thanks, My Lady. Bun and I are servants. It's inapproriate for us to eat with you."

Linda totally disagreed with what Paul just said. They were not in a feudal age. Everybody was equal. Bun and Paul were just working for the Mu clan. It did not mean the two were beneath them.

"Come on, eat with us." said Charles Mu as he wiped some flour off Linda's face with a tissue.

It was only after Charles gave them the green light that they finally consented to sit with them.

During dinner, they were talking and laughing as if they were a family.

Bun was such a smooth talker and used her sense of humour to lift Johnson Xia's spirits. Feeling delighted, Johnson even suggested that he wanted to adopt Bun as his daughter.

There were dumplings left. Linda planned to have them boiled before she left, so that she could deliver them to Donna Xie as her dinner.

As they were about to leave, Johnson Xia found it hard to tear himself away from all these people. He kept reminding Linda to visit him more frequently.

Since her father lived alone, it goes without saying that she would try to visit him more often.

On the way out of the villa of the Xia clan, Charles Mu and Paul received a call and left to deal with some businesses. Then Linda went to visit her foster mother with Bun. Being well looked after in the hospital for so many days, Donna Xie should have recovered by now.

After arriving at the hospital, Linda got off the car and looked at the azure sky.

Basking in the sunshine, Linda felt pretty happy as she thought of her upcoming engagement party.

"Bun, go bring those dumplings to my mom. I am going to Dr. Xu's office to ask her something about my mother's illness."

Doctors and family members of patients always avoided talking those patients' conditions in their presence lest what they said should upset those patients and deteriorate their conditions.

Besides, there were some other things that Linda wanted to ask Anna.

"My Lady, you are so funny. Do you realize the irony?" said Bun as she took the fresh-keeping box full of dumplings from Linda.

"What I just said? What's funny?" Linda felt confused about Bun's words. She'd been thinking about what she's going to discuss with Anna and did not realize what's wrong with her words.

"You said 'BUN, bring those DUMPLINGS to my mother'."

"Well..." After saying the words two more times, Linda was amused by what herself just said and burst into laughter, all the while narrowing her yes.

After arriving at the door of Anna's office, Linda knocked.

"Come on in." said Anna inside the office.

"Anna." Linda opened the door and came in.

Anna was reading some medical analysis reports when Linda came in. She then put them down and said, "You are here, My Lady."
