Chapter 33 I'll Beat The Crap Out Of Her
"Hold still."
Charles Mu closed his eyes with his strong arm holding Linda and his hands on her tummy. Then he did nothing more.
Linda was getting more and more sleepy, so she found a cozy spot in his arms and soon fell asleep.
Thank goodness their wounds were on the same side of arms, otherwise either of them would bound to have the wound pressed in such a position.
The next day.
It was about 8 a.m. when Linda woke up, and Charles Mu had already left.
She rolled over in their bed, and she could still smell Charles Mu.
She never knew that she could sleep so tight when there was someone else lying next to her.
He smelled good. It was Charles Mu's unique smell.
Linda caressed Charles Mu's pillow and spent some more time on the bed before she got up.
After dressing herself up, Linda opened the door and found Bun was waiting at the door.
"Bun, you don't have to wait like this. I will call you when I'm up or when I need something."
Linda noticed that Bun was always waiting by the door in the morning when she woke up. It didn't seem necessary to Linda since she didn't need a maid for everything in her daily life. "It's quite all right, My Lady, it's my job."
Linda could only shook her head and went downstairs. Her breakfast had already been prepared by the chef.
While enjoying her milk and sandwich, Linda looked at Bun standing beside, "Bun, are you feeling better?"
"Yes, I feel much better, My Lady. You don't have to worry about me."
"Damn, Charles Mu's mother was really a cold badass. Look at your face." Linda took a hard bite on her sandwich and couldn't help swearing.
Bun tilted her head and punched the air with her fists, "If she weren't Young Master's mother, I would have beat the crap out of her for bullying you. And her own mother wouldn't even recognize her after that."
Bun's little face was still swollen, but much better than last night.
Linda burst into giggles, "Then I shall watch closely how you do it next time."
"Have you seen a pig's head? That's about the size of it! Do you think her mother could recognize her from that?"
"Hahaha." Linda was amused by Bun's words and laughed so hard that her stomach started to hurt.
Linda finished her breakfast while talking to Bun. She was curious about Charles Mu's absence every morning when she got up.
"Bun, have you any idea why your Young Master leaves so early in the morning? He's gone everytime I woke up."
"My Lady, it has only been an hour. Have you been missing Young Master?"
"Are you out of your mind?" Linda rolled her eyes at Bun. How dare she make fun of her.
"Young Master is actually quite busy. Lord Mu passed the presidency of the Mu's Group to Young Master last year. Therefore, he's in charge of hundreds of subsidiary companies. He's serious about what he's doing. And he will check every project himself to make sure nothing goes wrong before execution."
"Well, I see." That explained why Charles Mu had always been engaged in his laptop. Linda took a glance at the stuff he had been working on every once in a while, but that's just not her thing.
"Though Young Master is the king of the Mu's empire, there are people who secretly covet his position and try to bring him down. His second uncle George Mu, for instance." "What do you mean? Tell me more."
Bun shook her head, "I don't know about the details Oneither. All I know is that there were decades of sibling rivalries between Young Master's uncle and father, both open and secret." "Hm" Charles Mu always got what he wanted. Linda thought it might have something to do with him being a well-born Young Master in a family that pandered to his every need.
But to her surprise, the Mu clan was exactly the same as the Xia clan.
Noble families were truly all ruthless.
Families weighed no more than dust.
"By the way, My Lady, I have a gossip for you. But please don't tell anyone, just keep it to yourself."
There was a sudden smile rising from Bun's face. It's a smile of gossip, and only women could understand the meaning. Men were never interested in gossips. However, women were born to be obsessed with them. "Spit it out!"
"Rumor has it that Young Master's father and uncle fell in love with the same woman, and she chose Young Master's father in the end. So the brothers have fallen out ever since that..."
"Is she Charles Mu's mother?"
"She probably... is."
Linda curled her lips. It was hard for her to imagine that someone like Charles Mu's mother would be such a good catch back then.
"But the Xing clan, Her Ladyship's side of family, was one of the richest business moguls in SH city... My Lady, you know what I'm saying." Certainly Linda understood within a second.
The brothers probably chased after Violet Xing only because of what the Xing clan could provide for the Mu clan.
Charles Mu's voice echoed in Linda's mind all of a sudden while she was gossiping with Bun
"By the way, did your Young Master say when he would come back?"
"Yes, Young Master said he would be back for lunch." Bun nodded.
"Well, let's go to the market, shall we? I wanna make some blood-enriching soup for your Young Master."
Their wounds were both in the arms, but Linda's cut was on the skin. And Charles Mu's was much more worse since the bullet shot through his arm. "Fine." Bun nodded and then left for the garage to bring over the car.
In the Mu's clan.
Amy Qi came here with Violet Xing yesterday.
The Mus and the Qis were close friends, and James Mu was like Amy Qi's godfather to some degree, therefore Amy Qi was treated well in the Mu's clan. Though Charles Mu hadn't been home for a long time, his room was kept tidy and clean by the housemaids.
Amy Qi then asked Violet Xing to let her stay in Charles Mu's room and sleep on his bed.
Violet Xing's felt sorry for Amy Qi and then indulged her without telling James Mu.
Amy Qi was trembling all over on Charles Mu's bed for the sleepless night. She greedily sniffed the smell on the quilt over and over again, and then closed her eyes, imaging Charles Mu was lying beside her. Amy Qi swore to herself that she would have Charles Mu.
But she didn't know that Charles Mu had not slept in this room for six months, and everything in there from the quilt, sheets and even curtains were brand new.
And the smell of Charles Mu was only Amy Qi's own illusions.
After all, she had spent the last three years studying in Britain.
Amy Qi didn't sleep a wink for the whole night and had two black eyes in the morning. However, she tried to make herself looked better with her delicate make-up on.
Amy Qi went downstairs and found Violet Xing was having breakfast alone, then she asked with a smile, "Mother, why are you here by yourself? Where's father?"
"Your father has taken an interest in fishing recently. He left early in the morning and won't be back until noon. Come over and have some breakfast, I told them to prepare your favorite." Violet Xing shook her head with a smile. James Mu's life had become quite cozy since he handed the presidency to Charles Mu. And the only decision he had to made was among fishing, hiking and travelling.
Amy Qi tried to smile back, "Thank you, mother."
Violet Xing was wondering why Amy Qi looked so pale and tired, then she asked worriedly, "What's going on? You don't look very well. Did you sleep well last night?"00000000
