Such a Rude and Noisy Woman

Chapter 123 The Family Meeting

After reaching Tulip Palace, Rachel decided to take a comfortable bath first. She had spent so many

days in the mountain, and then a few more days in the hospital as soon as she had returned. It had

been a terrible experience. She hadn't even gotten a good night's sleep in the past few days.

So, she went to bed as soon as she finished taking a bath. However, it took so long for Hiram to come

to bed that she got up to look for him.

First, she checked in the study room but he wasn't there.

Then, she checked in the bedroom next to the study room where she had stayed before, but he wasn't

there either.

She frowned and wondered where he had gone. It was late and already time to sleep.

"What are you looking for?"

Suddenly, there was a voice coming from behind her. Rachel turned around immediately and saw

Hiram standing at the stairway entrance, which led to the third floor, with several books in his hands.

"Where have you been? Why haven't you come to bed?" Rachel asked.

"I went upstairs to the library to find some books. What? Can't you sleep without me?" Hiram asked,

walking to Rachel. He shifted all the books to one arm and hugged Rachel's shoulder with the other.

They walked to the bedroom together.

"Hiram, are you hiding something from me?" Rachel asked. She felt like something was wrong. Since

they reached their bedroom, it seemed like Hiram had been deliberately avoiding eye contact with her.

'Does that mean he's having second thought about me?' Rachel thought.

Hiram laughed bitterly, held her by her shoulder and said, "Silly woman, don't you know you're torturing

me?"

"Torturing you? What do you mean?" Rachel asked, confused. How was she torturing him?

Hiram exhaled and tapped her head. "Let me ask you a question. How many times have I touched you

since we had sex for the first time? Now, since you're still not fully recovered, I can't bear to force you.

Have you ever considered my feelings?"

Rachel stretched out her fingers one by one and actually started to count the number of times that he

had touched her. She remembered the first day and said, "Forget about the other days, on the first day

itself we have..."

"First day can only be counted as one time, " Hiram yelled, cutting her off. He had yelled so loudly that

he almost lost his voice. Rachel could sometimes be so lovely and other times be so exasperating.

"Okay, we can have a try tonight, " Rachel said, puckering up her mouth at him. She was wondering

how he could blame this on her.

If it hadn't been for his Satanic psychotic attack that had cast a shadow on her, why would it be so

painful today?

"Are you sure about that?" Hiram asked.

Suddenly, his eyes brightened and his face broke into a smile. He kissed her on the lips, then lifted the

quilt and got onto the bed.

Half an hour later, Rachel thought that it would be over soon.

However, it lasted for another half an hour.

And then another two hours.

In fact, it lasted the whole night till dawn, which Rachel hadn't expected at all.

She was so exhausted that she really wanted to complain about it.

As soon as they finished, Hiram asked her to take rest at home for the day, which she agreed to

instantly, since she really needed it after the whole night of exercise.

Fortunately, Rachel also enjoyed staying at home alone. There was a housemaid who came to cook

and clean, so Rachel was happy to laze around at home, eating, watching TV, and relaxing all day.

In the evening, Hiram came back a little late, but this time, he had learned how to love her. He only did

it once. And then he fell asleep with her in his arms.

The next morning, Rachel got up early. She had planned to go back to her hometown to spend two

days with her mother and then come back on Sunday, because the interview was on Monday which

she couldn't be late for.

Since she had decided to work in Hiram's company, she had to do it well. That was also how she had

been working all the time.

Meanwhile, In a villa in the coast of the United States, a woman wearing a knee-length white dress was

on a phone call in front of a landing window.

"Do as I said. After that, I'll transfer the money to you. You know what to do, " said the woman.

"But even if we said that, I don't think they would believe us, " came the reply from the other end.

"It doesn't matter. All you have to do is tell them what I've told you to say, and show them the things.

Whether they believe it or not is none of your concern, " said the woman.

"Okay then. As soon as it's finished, I'll send the photos to you, " came the reply.

After hanging up, the woman sat on the mat in front of the floor window, and stretched herself out into a

difficult yoga pose, slowly inhaling and exhaling.

At the same time, in XH Village, The Ruan family was having an unprecedented jolly time.

"Fannie, what happened to your leg? Why are you so careless?" Rachel's grandmother asked, pulling

up a chair and sitting beside Fannie.

Fannie hadn't told them what had happened yet. She had wanted to wait for a chance to tell everyone

the truth once and for all.

After all, Rachel's family name was Ruan. Her marriage was a big event which the whole family had the

right to know about.

"Yeah, Fannie, there are rumors that Rachel finally got married to a man in the Rong family. Is that the

truth? If so, it's also a fulfillment of the wishes of our ancestors, " one of Rachel's granduncles said.

"Yeah, Fannie. We're all very concerned. Since we're all gathered here today, how about you tell us the

truth?" One of Rachel's aunts said as well.

Fannie raised her hand to indicate everyone to be quiet. Emma, who was beside her, helped her sit

down. "Please don't worry. Since we're all here today, I assure that I will make everything clear to you, "

Fannie said.

She hadn't told anyone about Rachel's marriage because one, she had been afraid that Colin and his

family would mess it up, and two, she didn't want to tell everyone so early before things were settled.

However, it wasn't appropriate for her to hide it anymore.

"Please be quiet and listen to me. At first, the relationship between Rachel and Hiram wasn't stable

enough, so it was too early for me to say anything. Please pardon me for that, " Fannie said.

She pulled the blanket to cover her leg and continued slowly, "Now, Rachel and Hiram are getting along

well. If nothing bad happens, they should be able to get married within this year. In fact, they have

already gotten their marriage certificate."

"Really? Fannie! That's such a great news. Ancestors of both the Rong family and the Ruan family had

been looking forward to merging our families by marriage for generations. Now Hiram and your

daughter have finally fulfilled their wishes!" the grandmother said, laughing.

"Grandma, that's also what I think. After all, Rachel is the only daughter Simpson and I have. I think we

all wished for her to marry a good guy. However, there's something that I have to share. It's about my

leg. I don't know how, but Colin and Selina got wind of the news of the marriage.

We all know that their daughter has also grown up. They thought that it was their daughter who should

have married Hiram instead of Rachel.

So, they went to H City, straight to the Rong family. And my leg is broken because of them, "

Fannie said, letting out a shaky breath.

"So that's why! Colin and his wife have such characters. Even though they don't come back here often,

everyone is clear about their true nature. After all, it is almost everybody's dream to be somehow

connected to the Rong family, "

The aunt said, nodding her head as she thought it over.

"Fannie, leave it. They tried to mess things up, but you're okay now, and they are not going to change

anything. It is a good thing that Rachel and Hiram have gotten their marriage certificate. They are

legally husband and wife now, " another aunt chipped in.

"That's just the way it is. Of course Colin's family would be jealous. They're just not that lucky, " a third

aunt said.

Everyone was familiar with Colin's character. They knew that when he heard the news, he would feel

only regret in his heart for not having been in touch with the Rong family earlier. It was all fate.

Anyway, this kind of thing couldn't be forced! It was all about fortune.

Suddenly, two unexpected visitors appeared at the door.

"Fannie, you're too unkind. How could you have a family meeting to criticize us when we were absent?

If we were not here now to interrupt you, would you eventually claim that we're murderers?" Selina said

to Fannie. Content rights belong to NôvelDrama.Org.

As they walked in without invitation, Selina clicked her tongue and added to Colin, who was behind her,

"Colin, did you hear that? Is that what they call 'family'? Would family members say bad things about us

behind our backs?"

Watching them in action, Fannie was furious, but she just smiled and said, "Colin and Selina, you're

back just in time. I thought that you might be too ashamed to come back here anymore. But now, it

seems like I've overestimated your sense of shame."
