A Vengeful Bride novel Chapter 13

"What? Don't pretend you don't know that ever since you married into our family, your younger brother has asked Edward Xi for money every time. Our family is not such stingy, and we are almost obedient to your family. Your elder brother runs a clothing factory and gains business in the name of our Xi's Group. Now your elder brother's clothes are in trouble, but he passed the blame on us. Poor persons are always trying to take advantage of us."

"It's the last warning I give you. If your family dare to bother our family with those terrible things again, don't blame me for being ruthless." My mother-in-law stood up, shouted at me, and left.

I took out my phone and immediately called my mother.

My mother hemmed and hawed for a long time before telling me the truth.

After listening, I immediately shouted to my mother, "Mom, are you crazy? Something happened to Elder Brother's clothing factory. Why should we pass the blame on the Xi's Group?"

"Why are you so loud? Are you talking to your mother in this way? Anyway, the Xi family has enough money to compensate. I will persuade your brother to stop the production of that batch of clothes."

"If you continue to spoil elder brother like this, something bad will happen one day." "How did I spoil your elder brother? Do you think it's easy for your elder brother to run a business? Do you think he is as easy as you who living a rich life?"

My mother's unreasonable words made me unable to listen. I hung up her phone for the first time.

Then I went back to my room, took out my own design drafts, and began to design clothes.

Two days later, the company was going to hold a design exhibition. I must finish this design as soon as possible.

It wasn't until half-past four in the afternoon that I put down the brush in my hand and went downstairs to make soup and prepare meals. Although I had given up the love to Edward, I was still Edward's wife, and I should do what a wife supposed to do.

When I went to the hospital, I saw Edward sitting on the bed. My senior was reporting the work to him.

Edward's eyebrows frowned and said to the senior in a cold voice, "Are all the people in the design department good-for-nothing? They can't even do such a simple thing. You let the people who drew the design work last time do this, clients are very satisfied with her work."

"But, the people who drew the design draft last time does not belong to our company."

"Who is that? Pay a lot of money to hire him to our Xi's Group." Edward darkened his face and ordered.

Hearing this, I was a little flustered and couldn't help coughing.

The senior and Edward looked at me at the same time. I touched the back of my head awkwardly and said, "I... am sending you meals."

The senior stared at me, and I shook my head at him, signaling him not to say that the design of the last time was drawn by me.

"I'm going to find that person to reform a draft for us." The senior sighed and left.

"Bring it here." When I was looking at my toes, I heard the cold metal-like voice of Edward.

I was startled and immediately lifted up my head. I saw the impatient look on his face.

I pursed my lips, putting the lunch box on the table, and said to him, "I made you soup today. It tastes good. Have a try."

"You can leave now." Edward raised his head indifferently, glanced at me, and said.

My hand couldn't help but shake slightly. I looked at his indifferent eyes, lowered my eyelids, and was about to leave. I didn't expect that I would fall down, then I pounced on Edward. But he stretched out his hand instantly and hugged me.

I looked at Betty's eyes, she was about to cry. I really wanted to applaud for her superb acting skill. Look, that was her wonderful acting skill. I can't help but cheer for her.

"You can go now." Edward got off the bed, held Betty in his arms, and said to me with a sharp eyesight.

I clenched my fists and finally left the ward of Edward.

Edward stood for Betty. What could I do? His love was not mine. Everything I said was wrong.

"Wait a minute, I'll go with you, Mrs. Xi. I remembered that when I passed by the hospital gate, there was a person selling mangosteen. I want to buy some for Edward." When my feet were about to cross the door of Edward's ward, Betty suddenly stopped me.

I looked back at Betty's smiling face and remained silent.

She and I walked to the elevator door of the hospital, and no one spoke.

This floor was the special area of Edward. No one would come, so this floor was very quiet.

"Ashley, what were you doing?" Betty was the first to break the stiffness between us. Her face was dark and she didn't even want to pretend and dragged my wrist. She stared at me insidiously and said.

Looking at her twisted face, I suddenly felt that this woman who was said to be the pure movie queen was actually so ugly.

I shook off Betty's hand forcefully and said coldly, "Miss Fang, I don't understand what you're talking about." "You don't understand. I warn you that Edward is my man. You will get out of the Xis soon. Don't seduce him." Betty narrowed her beautiful eyes and approached me, threatened me.
