Chapter 478 It Was An Impossible Thing



Chapter 478 It Was An Impossible Thing

"My Lady, it's currently rush hour, so there are a lot of vehicles on the road. Besides, a pile-up has

occurred on the viaduct in front of us, due to a car accident, causing us to get stuck in traffic for about

half an hour. We can't do anything but be patient about it. Anyway, they're clearing it up, so we should

be on the go soon."

Linda nodded and thought that they really could do nothing about the situation since there was a minor

crash on the road.

When they arrived at the gate of the Nalan clan's house, it was already 7:30 PM.

A servant was waiting anxiously by the gate. He kept glancing at the road, anticipating Linda's arrival.

When he saw that Linda's car was finally approaching, his face lit up with relief. He, then, ran up to

Linda and said, "My Lady, what took you so long? Is everything okay? His Lordship and the other clan

members have been waiting for you for a long time."

"There was a car accident on the road, so we got stuck in traffic."

"My Lady, you should go inside now. I will help you park your car."

Bun got out of the car and gave the car key to the servant. After that, they entered the house. When

they had just stepped foot in the living room, Linda heard someone complain, "Grandfather, we should

start having dinner now. Linda is inconsiderate. Not only will she come back only today for the first time

after she has gotten married, but she has also kept us waiting so long. She's being disrespectful to

you!"

Linda knew that the familiar voice was from Rosy Nalan.

"No, Linda is not that kind of person. Perhaps, there's something unexpected. I'm sure she will tell us

why she's late when she gets here. Let's wait a little longer. She will get here very soon, " said Lord

Nalan slowly.

"The dinner would get cold, and cold food is not good for your age. We should start eating now. Linda is

also our family member, so she would understand."

"That's right. It is very rude of Linda to keep us waiting for so long!"

While hearing their complaints, Linda was a bit embarrassed to show her face to them. She was indeed NôvelDrama.Org is the owner.

late and had kept her grandfather waiting for so long. She told him that she would reach the house

before 6:30 PM, but she ended up arriving at 7:30 PM.

When she walked toward the table, Lord Nalan saw her, and he instantly looked very delighted. But the

others seemed annoyed by her presence as if she owed them a large sum of money.

"Grandfather, I'm sorry for being late, " apologized Linda.

"It doesn't matter as long as you have arrived here safely. Come over here, and have a seat. I will ask

the servants to heat the food." Lord Nalan was very happy to see Linda. There wasn't any sign of

annoyance on his face.

While noticing that Lord Nalan was nice to Linda, Rosy wore a livid face filled with rage. She was

indignant because Lord Nalan had always showed partiality to Linda.

Lord Nalan was a punctual man, and he hated it when others, especially his children or grandchildren,

were late. Rosy was once five minutes late for dinner, so Lord Nalan scolded her about it. Now, Linda

was an hour late, but Lord Nalan wasn't even the least bit of mad at all. He even said that he didn't

mind as long as Linda had gotten there safe. Rosy became even more furious by this thought.

"There was a car accident, and a pile-up had occurred on the viaduct, so we were caught in a traffic

jam for about half an hour." Although Lord Nalan didn't ask Linda about what had happened, Linda

thought that it was necessary for her to explain it to him since being late was rude. In fact, Linda had a

strong sense of time, but she didn't expect that her arrival would be delayed by the traffic congestion.

Bun and Anna waited for Linda outside the dining room. After all, the dinner was for the Nalan clan's

members, so it would be inappropriate for them to have dinner together on the same table with the

Nalan clan's members. But the Nalan clan extended its hospitality to them and prepared some

delicious food for them, so they wouldn't get hungry.

"Why didn't you set out earlier? You are an hour late. Do you think this dinner is a joke?" Rosy

murmured in a low voice.

She didn't dare say anything loud because she knew that Lord Nalan favored Linda a lot. Even if she

would complain, Lord Nalan would still not blame Linda. Moreover, if Rosy said anything unkind to

displease Lord Nalan, she would get reproached or punished.

However, Linda heard what Rosy had said. So Linda said, "It's my fault. I'm so sorry for being so late.

Since I'm pregnant and I can't have any alcohol, I will drink tea as a gesture of my apology to all of you.

I hope you can forgive me this time."

After she finished speaking, Linda poured some tea into the teacup in front of her and walked up to

Rosy. She then told Rosy, "I'm sorry to have kept you waiting for so long."

Rosy just snorted upon hearing Linda's apology. She turned her head to look away, pretending not to

notice Linda, who stood beside her.

"Rosy, " said Lord Nalan, with a firm and angry voice as he saw that Rosy was ignoring Linda.

Upon seeing Lord Nalan get annoyed, Lenny spoke up instantly, "Rosy, Linda is late due to a pile-up on

the road. It wasn't her fault, so don't blame her for it anymore. Besides, the others don't mind, so you

don't have to be angry about it."

"Father."

"Don't be so unreasonable." Lenny glanced at Rosy.

He wanted to give her a hint that it was useless to insist on blaming Linda because Lord Nalan didn't

even say anything about Linda being late.

Rosy was just one of Lord Nalan's grandchildren, but she was so unreasonably displeased with Linda.

In fact, she was in no place to do that.

At least, it was unkind of her to treat Linda like that in front of Lord Nalan and the others, especially

since Lord Nalan himself wasn't upset about it. Lord Nalan attached importance to punctuality, but Rosy

was still onto Linda for being late. It was improper for her to dwell on it, and her attempt would surely

annoy Lord Nalan.

Rosy shouldn't try to get Linda into trouble by taking advantage of such a petty thing. If she really did

want to take action against Linda, she could find another way to do so.

Rosy was so unwise and impetuous. At the thought of this, Lenny felt disappointed, but he could do

nothing but sigh at his stupid daughter.

The servants heated up the food and served them on the table. The Nalan clan's members, then,

started having their dinner, letting go of Linda's tardiness.

At the end of the dinner, Lord Nalan began to praise Linda.

He had given Linda two subsidiaries of the Nalan Group as a wedding gift. Since then, these two

companies had been well-run to the point where these would be publicly listed soon.

When Lord Nalan celebrated Linda's achievements, no one dared retort him. They could only

negatively gossip about Linda in secret. Linda didn't dare take credit for it because, after Lord Nalan

had given the companies to her, she asked Charles to run them. She didn't know how to manage

companies, so she believed that it would be better to let Charles take over them.

It surprised Linda that Charles had been running the two companies very well, but she was also feeling

a bit ashamed since she had never made any effort to help Charles manage them.

"I think that Linda isn't running these two companies on her own. Young Master Mu must be helping her

with it. We all know that she isn't competent enough to manage these companies since she isn't good

at it."

Before Linda had any chance to say something, Lord Nalan said, "So what if Linda is running the two

companies with Charles's help? At least, she has gotten herself a good husband. How about you? Do

you have one? If you can get married to someone like Charles, I will also give you and your husband

two companies."

It was difficult to find such an outstanding husband as Charles. There might not even be another man

like Charles in this world. It was apparent that Lord Nalan had put Rosy into an embarrassing situation.

It was impossible for her to get out of it now!
