Chapter 248 Lily‘s Past
"Okay, Linda, then I will keep your name under wraps for now. I will take your suggestion and announce
you as my adopted granddaughter, okay? Richard replied after a brief moment of silence.
"Thanks, grandpa." Linda smiled sweetly.
Richard left after chatting with Linda for a while and instructing her to take the medicine on time.
Linda dined with Anna, Lily and Nelson in her yard that evening.
After dinner, Nelson went to work. After all, he was the butler at Richard's, and he had a lot of
responsibilities to handle. Therefore, he could not stay any longer.
In fact, Linda had a feeling that Nelson only stayed to see more of Lily.
'Love does tend to bud regardless of reason and time, ' Linda thought as she saw his increased interest
in her.
Because Linda's face was already healing, Anna had also relaxed on the rules, allowing Linda to eat
Cola chicken wings once a week, but forbidding her from eating too much.
Today, Richard's chef had prepared a wonderful selection of dishes.
"Oh, no, I am really full. Let's take a walk in the yard. I feel like I'm going to get indigestion." Linda was
lying on the chair, groaning and rubbing her stomach, as she complained to Lily and Anna.
Anna glanced at Linda. "My lady, I still have a few things to deal with. Let Lily take a walk with you. I
have already warned you not to eat too much, now you feel awful, don't you?"
Anna had been accustomed to Linda's situation of overeating. When she was at the Mu's family home
for dinned, Linda had done that as well.
But she couldn't help it, because Linda loved food. She considered the meaning of life as being the
food she wanted to eat every day.
In their school days, the only thing that could motivate Linda to wake up was breakfast.
"I'm full, too. Linda, come on, let's go for a walk. I feel like I'm gaining weight already." Lily smiled and
touched her belly.
Although Lily was petite, she ate a lot at every meal. After getting along with her for some time, Linda
noticed that she was also a big eater.
Linda envied that Lily could still maintain her figure, even though she ate a lot.
The two girls walked slowly. Because Linda was pregnant, they could not move too fast.
They chatted while walking.
"Lily, let me ask you a question."
"Go ahead!" Copyright Nôv/el/Dra/ma.Org.
"When you helped Anna to recover her computer's data yesterday, why did you say that if it was not for
repaying me, you would never touched the computer, or any other, ever again?"
Lily fell silent.
Linda thought that Lily didn't want to say anything, so she said, "It doesn't matter, if you don't want to
talk about it, I won't force you."
Everyone should have a little secret of their own, and it should be okay if they don't want to share it.
Linda understood the need to keep some things to oneself.
Lily glanced at Linda and looked around. "Linda, it's not that I don't want to tell you, it's just that I don't
know how to say it."
"Okay." Linda nodded.
"In fact, it's not a big deal that I'm telling you, only that I'm afraid that you will look down on me."
"How could I?" Linda was a little amazed by Lily's sentiments.
Linda never looked down on anyone, unless they had done something to harm or wrong another
human being.
Gradually, the two reached the plum garden unknowingly.
The plum garden was very beautiful, and there were chairs inside, which could allow them to take a
break for a while.
So Linda led Lily into the plum garden, and they stopped at a stone bench to take rest.
"When I was young, I was interested in coding. When I grew up, I got my hands on a computer and I
was particularly interested in hacking techniques. So I taught myself. I also mastered any technology I
wanted. In my spare time, I liked to hack various websites, but I didn't do anything bad, just checked
their website for vulnerabilities."
Linda listened quietly.
Because many people liked to hack, and it was not a big deal. It wasn't wrong to like computers, and it
was not enough for Linda to look down on her.
"You know, I come from a very poor family. My parents died when I was very young. My family was
from a small village in the county neighboring SH City. It was really difficult for me to come here to
study. However, living here was too expensive, so I worked a part-time job to earn money. Every job I
worked was low paying and there were also harsh working conditions. I had tried to work in a
particularly expensive western restaurant. Once, I dropped a piece of steak on a guest and stained
their shirt, which made me lose a lot of money." "How much did the shirt cost?"
Linda raised eyebrows, "Hundreds? Thousands?"
Lily laughed. "He showed me the brand and the shirt costed six thousand yuan. Do you know what the
six thousand yuan meant to me at that time?"
Linda did not answer, Lily continued.
"At that time, my salary was ten per hour. I would work for three hours every day after class. I didn't
have anything to eat or drink for more than half a year, just so that I could pay for the shirt."
"People who can afford six thousand for a shirt shouldn't be so stingy!"
"He was so stingy! Rich people are all the same." Lily said bitterly.
However, subconsciously, Lily seemed to feel that she had said something wrong, "Linda!...."
Linda just smiled. "I understand what you mean, I won't blame you. You can say whatever you want.
We are friends, aren't we? And I'm not rich. You know, my family used to be poor......"
"Your family? Aren't you Richard's granddaughter? How can your family be poor?"
Linda stared blankly. She forgot that she hadn't told Lily about her background. So Linda told Lily about
her journey of finding out that she was part of the Xia clan and looking for her family.
She mentioned Bun and a lot of interesting people, and she also explained how she got the scar on her
face.
Lily really admired Linda.
Bun? Linda had not seen Bun for a long time. Linda missed her a lot when she mentioned her name.
"I will introduce Bun to you. She is also an interesting woman." Linda smiled and said to Lily.
