"My Lord... I..."
"You ought to have known better... I loved my wife so much. Why would I want to kill our daughter?" Johnson Xia got more and more emotional.
"..." After hearing what he just said, Donna Xie wanted to explain something to him, but finally gave up.
Linda blurted out what's in Donna Xie's mind.
"She did so becasue she fell in love with Butler Zhou."
That was such an unexpected news.
Johnson Xia fell silent.
People tend to follow every word of the people they fell in love with and are willing to do everything that pleases them.
No matter how much it would cost them to do so.
Linda was sure that Johnson Xia would feel very upset and regret having that man as his butler after he was told the truth.
But she told him anyway, because she believed her father would want to know the truth
There was no need to keep it as a secret.
As they went on talking, Linda just stood by them and remained slient. That was their problem and it better be solved by themselves.
Johnson Xia closed his eyes and took a deep breath, "Well, What's done is done. There is no need to be upset by things happened so long ago. Since Linda has grown into such a healthy and lovely girl, I am very grateful for your efforts."
"No, my Lord. I am so sorry for you and Lady Nalan. I am so sorry for what I have done."
"Let's go to the hall. The party is going to begin soon. I fell bad that I was absent from Linda's childhood. I hope you can live with me when you are in a better health and you can tell me all about what Linda has been through when she was a little girl." said Johnson Xia as he looked at Linda and signed.
"OK."
The engagement party went very well. The bulk of the wedding rituals were taken care of by the emcee and other staffs. So all that was required of Linda and Charles Mu was for them to go on the stage at the end.
Charles Mu had put the engagement ring on Linda's finger before that.
It was the dragon ring.
"Now, a round of applause for Mr. Mu and Miss Xia."
Said the emcee with a smile.
As they stepped up to the stage, Linda took Charles Mu's arm. They were such a matched couple.
Charles Mu took the microphone from the emcee and glanced at the guests. He said, "Wecome to our engagement party. Let me introduce this lady. She is my wife-to-be, Linda Xia."
The crowd gave a big cheer, among which there's a familiar voice. It yelled out, "She is such a beauty!"
Charles Mu tried to identify where the voice was coming from and located a man in an army uniform. The man's seating cross-legged and looking at Charles Mu with a wicked smile.
His eyes was so charming that could capture every woman.
The man was Brian Ho, A major general of the army and the heir of the Ho Group. Brian Ho was a good friend of Charles Mu's. They had not met each other for the last two years, because they were all too busy.
Brian Ho had been trained for 3 years in the army and got promoted as a major-general. However, he still remained as a playboy even after he retired from the army, which upset his father a lot. Then his father sent him into the army again.
Charles Mu had invited Brian Ho to his engagement party earlier, but Brian was in the middle of a top-secret mission and might not able to make it back in time.
So Charles Mu was surprised at his appreance and couldn't help smiling.
Brian was indeed on a mission when he received Charles's mind-blowing invitation.
He had thought that a poker face like Charles Mu would never find a wife. It would seem that the universe did have a sense of humor at all.
Besides, he'd been in a close relationship with Charles Mu for many years and had never saw Charles Mu took an interest in any woman.
So Brian managed to finish the mission ahead of schedule and came back to see who the legendary woman was.
When he finally saw her, Brian was utterly astonished by her beauty. The woman was strikingly beautiful and elegant with attractive eyes that charmed every man in the hall.
