DRAMA NOVEL ONLINE Chapter 481 How Dare You Slap Me
It was impossible for Rosy Nalan to lay a hand on Linda. She couldn't even touch the corner of Linda's clothes because Bun was there to protect her. Rosy had just reached out her hand, but it was immediately slapped away by Bun. In an instant, Rosy's hand turned red due to the strong force of Bun's hit.
"What are you doing? Keep yourself far away from Lady Linda. Got it?" yelled Bun.
Rosy was shocked by Bun's rudeness to her. A surge of anger painted across her face, and then she snapped, "Who the hell are you? How dare you slap me! Do you know who I am? I am the eldest daughter of the Nalan clan!"
"You are the eldest daughter of Nalan clan? Are you kidding me? Lady Linda is the eldest daughter of the Nalan clan, not you!" Bun said as she frowned.
"You are just a lowly servant. You are so bold to have hit me! Even if I am not the eldest daughter, so what? I am still a daughter of the Nalan clan."
Rosy resentfully glared at Bun and lifted her arm. She was about to get back at Bun.
But Linda wouldn't let Rosy do it.
Long before, Linda had sworn to herself that she wouldn't let Bun suffer any grievances when she was by her side.
So, the moment Rosy raised her hand, Linda instantly gave her a heavy slap on the cheek.
A searing stroke of pain strewed across Rosy's face which dumbfounded her for a moment. She was stunned. She couldn't believe that Linda Xia had slapped her.
"Linda Xia, you bitch! You dare hit me? Do you have a death wish?" Tears started to flood Rosy's eyes. Covering her aching face with her hand, Rosy widened her eyes and stared at Linda in disbelief.
"Of course, I would dare hit you! I'm warning you. Don't you ever try to hurt the people around me," said Linda.
She hated seeing other people treat Bun lowly. Each time Bun addressed her as "My Lady" with respect, the other people would assume that Bun was her servant.
To say the least, even if Bun was her servant, did it mean that anyone was allowed to bully Bun? The person who would bully Bun was actually also showing disrespect to Linda. Due to this, Linda had to be tough to fight back in order to protect Bun.
"Linda Xia, don't get too ahead of yourself. Let's wait and see. I will let you reap the consequences of what you have done, " Rosy said and turned around to leave, with her hand still covering her red cheek. She knew that she could do nothing to get back at them now. Put in such a disadvantageous position, it was wise for her to get away from them first.
Crying loudly, Rosy went back to her house. Coincidentally, her father, Lenny Nalan was there to see her.
When he saw his daughter wailing in frustration with a red palm mark on her face, Lenny instantly and worriedly asked, "Rosy, what happened? Who slapped you?"
Lenny initially wanted to give his daughter a lecture about how she had misbehaved during dinnertime.
But now, all of the words he had prepared to criticize her had stifled down to the bottom of his heart.
"Father..."
Upon seeing her father, Rosy cried with more passion. She threw herself into her father's arms and continued sobbing hysterically. Lenny gently patted her back and patiently comforted her.
After crying for a few more minutes, Rosy gradually composed herself.
"Tell me. Who had dared slap you?" asked Lenny.
Rosy had never suffered such a humiliating and insulting thing before, so she complained to her father, "Linda Xia! It was she who did this to me!"
"Who? Linda Xia? Why did she slap you? Did you two have a quarrel?" Lenny went on to ask.
Of course, Rosy wouldn't tell her father that she was the one who had stirred up trouble in the first place. Luckily, she was good at making up stories. Dramatically, she shook her head, and with tears flooding her eyes, she said, "No, I was peacefully having a walk around the plum garden, but Linda suddenly came up to me and slapped my face."
Lenny felt a little suspicious of Rosy's words, but when he saw the red mark on her cheek, he got very furious and decided to believe her. He slammed his hand on the table and said angrily, "Linda Xia has gotten way too much! She is becoming too smug and arrogant because she knows that father favors her. You are also a Nalan clan's daughter. How could she be so rude to you?"
Before Linda showed up after having been gone for a long time, Rosy was considered the eldest daughter of the Nalan clan. But now, Linda had replaced Rosy's position, which made both Lenny and Rosy very unhappy about it.
"Yes, father, you're right. Linda is really so impudent. Grandfather always spoils her, so she is now looking down upon us. I am afraid that she might take over all of the Nalan clan's properties one day," said Rosy.
Upon hearing Rosy's words, Lenny fell deep in thought. When Lord Nalan gave two of the companies to Linda, he didn't care about it because he didn't want to fight over a petty thing with the younger generation. Anyway, the two companies were only a small portion of the Nalan clan's properties, and he was okay to let Linda have it. But now, he was starting to realize that Linda was becoming a great threat to them.
Lord Nalan had given her two more properties tonight, and the value of these two estates was about one-fifth of the Nalan clan's assets.
The Sky Building and the holiday resort were two of the most important projects of the Nalan clan in the past ten years, but both of these were given to Linda's babies just like that. Lenny felt that it was so unfair for him and his brother. They were Lord Nalan's sons after all. What should they do now that their father had decided to give his money to his great-grandchildren instead of his own sons?
All of the Nalan clan members, both young and old, were unwilling to accept this decision. Everyone didn't agree to it.
However, they could do nothing to oppose it. These properties belonged to Lord Nalan, so he was the one who had a word in it.
"Rosy, you can't be too impulsive. Learn to control your emotions. You always show your emotions on your face. It will only benefit the other party if you openly fight against Linda. Take Murphy as an example, and learn from her. Learn how to hide your emotions. Understand?"
After Rosy had stopped sobbing, Lenny started to talk some sense into his daughter. These principles were very important to be taught to Rosy. Lenny was afraid that if Rosy wouldn't change her behaviors and habits, she might be taken advantage of by the others, including Murphy Nalan. Murphy might be sitting quietly at the moment, watching the battle from the sidelines, but she could turn out to be the winner at the end of all of this.
That was what Lenny was trying hard to prevent from happening
"Yes, father. I will keep that in my mind, and be more discreet of my actions," said Rosy.
"Since your grandfather is spoiling her now, you'd better keep yourself away from her. Don't declare an open war against Linda. Anyway, although father had promised to give those assets to her, according to the law of inheritance, you will still own a part of it. Again, don't be impulsive. As long as father is alive, those properties would not officially belong to Linda. Understand?"
He added, "Moreover, I am a Nalan clan's son, and you are my daughter. Linda is my sister's daughter. According to the law, you have the priority over her to inherit the properties.
We just need to be patient and plan everything well. Don't rush things. They will come to place in time."
Finishing his words, Lenny patted Rosy's shoulders and left.
Just as Lenny had walked out of the door, Jessie Luo arrived.
Jessie hadn't seen Rosy for quite some time. Rosy had called her and asked her to come over. Rosy told her on the phone that Linda had come to their house and slapped her earlier, so Jessie immediately came to comfort her.
Unexpectedly, as soon as she had arrived at the door, she saw that Lenny was leaving. Jessie smiled and greeted, "Hello, Uncle Lenny."
"Good evening, Jessie. You've come at the right time. Please help me comfort Rosy. She's quite upset now," said Lenny.
Jessie instantly nodded and said, "Yes, I will. I am going to meet Rosy now. Have a good night, Uncle Lenny."
