Such a Rude and Noisy Woman novel Chapter 2

The temple seemed to be a very quiet place. All you could hear was the sound of wooden fish being beaten by the women who were guarding the place. A strong aroma of incense and candles burning filled the temple.

It was not like a traditional temple. There were no monks nor nuns living there. People who guarded the temple were mostly native elderly men and women.

Rachel was so familiar with every statues there. She had been accompanied by her mother there many times since she was still young.

After putting all the offering on the table, she knelt gently on the round and soft cushion, bowed her head and worshiped.

Everything she did seemed to be an extraordinary adoration in the outsiders' eyes.

On the other room, Hiram Rong also completed putting the offering on the table. However, what he wore that day was a total misfit for such place.

Bowing to and worshiping his ancestors were not difficult for him, but he would never bow to those sculptures that were just made of clay.

Sitting with his legs crossed, he was going to stay there a little longer until it's time to leave. He felt so bored that he took out his phone and started to check the stored documents.

He was so obsessed with his phone's data.

Nonetheless, the silence didn't last for more than a minute.

He soon heard the chattering noise that came from the other room.

It was so noisy that he couldn't read anymore. He furrowed his black eyebrows and his beautiful, bright eyes were slowly filled with anger. His handsome face suddenly became so furious.

"Shouldn't the temple be a quiet place?

Where does that annoying noise come from?", he whispered.

On the other room, Rachel brought her cushion closer to the temple guard. She was so chatty that she couldn't help herself but start chatting with the guard.

The woman guard was a native villager and she knew Rachel as well. At first, she didn't want to talk because she was afraid that she might disturb the serenity of the temple. However, Rachel continued to talk and urged her to response.

"Aunt, I have just seen an old lady donating very huge amount of money when I came in. It's like this much, " Rachel said while raising her hand to make a gesture, "I was wondering, since she's so rich, why didn't she go to do some charity? It would be much better if she helps those children who are too poor to be able to go to school..."

Rachel knew that the temple was not badly off financially. The offering of incense was also flourishing. So those people who wanted to pay money to buy their salvation was kind of just wasting.

Nonetheless, the aunt had been very familiar with such scenes already. She just shook her head and didn't reply. She knew that those people must have been very guilty inside their hearts that they felt they had to donate money to make them feel comfortable. All people knew about this.

"There is something more, Aunt. I have seen...", Rachel continued.

Hiram couldn't sit still any longer. What he wanted to do was to take a cloth and cover Rachel's annoying mouth.

The rooms were only separated by half concrete wall and half two-layered yellow curtain. Hence, the voice could easily pass through.

Rachel was happily talking with aunt. She didn't realize that a danger was coming.

She felt a cold wind blowing on her face suddenly. Moreover, she smelled a gentle and good scent of perfume around her.

For the first time, Rachel felt so comfortable with a man wearing a perfume.

"Can you shut your mouth up?" She heard a low and irritated voice coming down from above her head.

All the positive impressions suddenly disappeared. She looked up and was stunned as she saw his face that was angry yet very good looking. He was so handsome even if compared with the super stars.

Hiram was also surprised to see Rachel. Her face was not a kind of a gossiping face. On contrary, her face was tiny and delicate with bright, black eyes on it. She looked at him in astonishment, and her long eyelashes seemed to be trembling like the startled butterflies.

Moving back a few steps, Rachel looked to the place where Hiram just came out. Then she realized and said, "Are you from the Rong Family? Sorry! I didn't know that someone is in that room."

As to all of the people in XH Village, no one was unfamiliar with the power of Rong Family.

Even the temple was built with their funds. Thus, it was just reasonable for them to have their special room for worshiping.
