Such a Rude and Noisy Woman novel Chapter 22

Thank God

Nothing happened that night.

After breakfast, Hiram dropped Rachel outside the Rong's house. She took a taxi to her friend Celine's home.

So many things had happened recently, it would drive her crazy if she didn't share them with someone.

On the way to Celine's home, she kept feeling like somebody was following her, but whenever she looked back, there was no one there.

She wondered why she always had such illusions these days. Was it an after-affect of the head injury?

At Celine's home...

Celine was a good listener. Rachel told her all about the incredible things she'd suffered recently.

"Rachel, is the Rong family you're talking about the most mysterious family in H City?" Celine asked. "It's said that they never accept any interviews, and nobody knows what the big boss looks like. It seems he's settled abroad and rarely comes back.

If you're talking about them, then this is a great deal for you! Although you'll only be married for a month, you'll get great compensation after the divorce!"

Rachel leaned against the armrest of the sofa and grabbed a packet of snacks. With a mouthful of chips, she said,"That can never happen! It's been clearly indicated in the marriage agreement that I won't get even a penny from the Rong family, except a little basic compensation. He's a miser!"

"I can't believe it!" Celine cried. "After all, your marriage was arranged by your great-grandfathers when you were not even born. How could you agree to such unfair terms? You should've at least asked them to pay you a good sum of money!"

Shaking her head, Rachel said,"If you meet him, you would understand. He's too smart. He had me all figured out right from the beginning. He's kept me under his control all the time!"

An idea struck Celine. "Rachel, have you ever thought about making the marriage a reality?" she asked. "Then you can get much more money!"

"But how?" Rachel listened carefully while chewing the chips.

"Find an opportunity to slip drugs into his drinks. If he acts on an impulse — you know what I mean — then you can accuse him. Since he does the wrong thing, he must compensate you!

And don't take pills, you'd better choose the best time to conceive. If you can conceive a baby for the Rong family, then you'll become very valuable!"

Rachel continued munching on the chips. "Celine! You must have read too many romance novels. How can you come up with such a bad idea?"

Celine shrugged. "I think my idea is perfect!" She honestly didn't think there was anything wrong with this idea.

"It's impossible," Rachel said. She shook her hand to stop Celine. If she'd really fallen in love with Hiram, then maybe she would have considered using such devious methods, but not now.

Celine shifted closer to her and examined her face. "Rachel, you look different, there's a glow on your face. I've never seen you in such a good mood after all your previous blind dates!"

Avoiding Celine's eyes, Rachel shoved a handful of chips into her mouth and exlcaimed,"Nonsense!"

"Then tell me the truth. Have you fallen in love with that man?" Celine asked. She was curious now. "If you have, you must use the one month you have to somehow turn this false marriage into a real one!"

"How can I fall in love with that guy?" Rachel shot back immediately.

"Don't answer me so quickly. In fact, I think you should think it over. Come on, listen to me, I'll make a thorough analysis for you!" Celine continued like a love expert.

"You haven't had any of the bad luck that you had in the blind dates before this, have you? You two have already got the marriage certificate, but nothing bad has happened to him.

What can that mean? It means he's your Mr. Right!"

Rachel didn't agree with Celine at first, but as she thought about it, she realized it was true. In all her previous relationships, whenever she wanted to take the next step, bad luck came one after another.

But this time...

"Nothing happened to him! But look at me. The scar is still on my head. And I was sick because of him the day before yesterday." Rachel lifted her fringe and pointed at the scar on her forehead.
