Chapter 51 The Same As You
With a helpless and aggrieved look on her face, Ellie carefully told Arvin what had happened on the phone.
With a gloomy face, Arvin kept silent on the phone.
"Cousin, are you listening?" She asked in a low voice, "Sorry, I really didn't mean it!"
"Belinda is really sad. You'd better go back to see her as soon as possible? I'm here to comfort aunt. " In order to make up for her mistake, Ellie volunteered to take care of Amanda.
"Next time, you are not allowed to make a decision without my order!" Arvin ordered coldly and hung up the phone with a cold face!
"What happened? Why are you so angry?" Mark asked with a smile when he came out of the meeting room.
"Are you eavesdropping on me?" Arvin glared at him.
"Don't talk nonsense like that. I just heard it when I came out of the meeting." With a scornful smile, Mark passed him and walked away.
"Mr. Xue, the meeting was over." Kerr came over slowly and reported.
"The meeting is over?" Arvin asked in a low voice.
"Yes, Mark has assigned the last few proposals to each department."
Arvin's eyes were gloomy. He didn't expect that his power over the company would develop so fast.
"Steward Xue, arrange a car for me. I'm going to the beauty club!" Amanda went downstairs slowly and ordered.
"Aunt Amanda, are you going out?" Ellie leaned forward eagerly.
"I was so angry just now that I almost got wrinkles! I want to refresh my face! " Amanda pulled a long face. Thinking of the Belinda's sharp argument with her, she couldn't help but get furious!
"How about I go with you?" Ellie volunteered, "Anyway, it's all because of me." Guilt and anxiety flashed across her face. Exclusive content from NôvelDrama.Org.
"No, thanks! I just want to be alone! " Amanda refused decisively. Realizing that Ellie looked guilty, she couldn't help comforting her, "It has nothing to do with you. You are kind-hearted. Don't blame yourself!" After saying that, Amanda turned around and left, leaving Ellie who was looking at her back eagerly.
"Ellie!" Madame Xue came down slowly with her crutch and called her.
"Ah, grandma!" Ellie replied quickly and turned around.
"Why are you standing there all alone?" Madame Xue said unhappily and looked at Ellie suspiciously.
"I... my aunt went out just now. I happened to see her off." Ellie smiled awkwardly and went to help Madame Xue go downstairs.
"What's so important about her! She only cares about her beauty and Xue family's money. " When it came to Amanda, Madame Xue's face was full of disdain. If she really had any outstanding talent, only her appearance was not bad. In other words, she was just a vase!
"By the way, is there anything happening to Belinda?" Madame Xue asked seriously as she sat down.
She hadn't been to the old house since she was summoned to get along well with Arvin last time!
Madame Xue thought for a while and said, "Go and ask her to come here!"
"What?" Ellie was surprised.
" Hurry up!" Madame Xue shouted at her.
"Yes, yes, I'll call her right now." Seeing that Madame Xue was angry, Ellie quickly answered, turned around and went upstairs to make a phone call.

"Grandma!" Belinda put on her clothes again and stood in front of Madame Xue with a listless face.
"Sit down." Madame Xue looked up and down at her carefully. "Why do you look like an eggplant beaten by frost? So listless!"
Madame Xue asked with concern.
"Nothing." Belinda replied in a low voice, unable to cheer up.
Being taunted by someone in the early morning, she couldn't feel any joy at all.
"Did you quarrel with Arvin?" Madame Xue leaned forward, looking a little anxious.
"No. Belinda replied blankly.
"Then what happened?" Vaguely, she could feel that Belinda was irritated, but she couldn't say anything.
"Well, grandma, don't ask anymore. Maybe Belinda didn't have a good rest last night, so she didn't look good."
The atmosphere in the living room was weird. Ellie quickly cut in and changed the topic.
"Go and tell the housekeeper to bring Belinda tonics!" Madame Xue nodded slowly and sent Ellie away.
"How is it going with the thing I told you last time?" Madame Xue asked anxiously after Ellie left.
After all, this was what she was concerned about.
"Not yet." Belinda looked up at Madame Xue and said weakly, feeling depressed.
Her relationship with [薛翼] hadn't eased yet, and now she was quarreling with her mother-in-law. The situation was so miserable!
"I know it's a little difficult, but you have to hurry up. A week has passed." Madame Xue said in a pressing voice, as if she could remind her that time was limited.
"I see! Grandma! " Belinda replied indifferently. She felt depressed as if a big stone was blocking her heart. "I'm going out for a walk."
A pile of annoyance was concentrated in her heart. The suppressed emotions made her want to go out and breathe some fresh air.
The garden was full of green plants, and the fresh air refreshed her. She felt much more relaxed. She slowly walked through the cobblestone path and felt a little free for the time being.
Beside the stone table not far away, a tall figure was sitting quietly. Compared with the green prosperity, his motionless body looked very lonely.
Belinda was a bit suspicious and walked over slowly.
At the table, Mark stared at the smiling woman in the photo with full attention. His eyes were gentle and deep, and he didn't notice that Belinda was standing behind him.
Belinda stared at the person in the photo for a long time and suddenly said, "Why are you sitting here alone?"
The sudden voice startled Mark. He quickly put away the photo and looked up at Belinda who was smiling at him gently.
"Do you mind if I sit down for a while?"
"Of course not."
Seeing her, Mark quickly put on a gentle smile, as gentle as usual.
"Why are you sitting here alone? Do you have something on your mind? " Looking at the rockery fountain in the distance, Belinda asked leisurely, resting her chin on her hand.
"What about you? Why are you here alone? " Instead of answering her question, Mark smartly paid attention to her.
Belinda smiled, "You are good at changing the topic. You threw the question to me before you answered my question." She chuckled and blamed him for being dishonest.
"You too." Mark smiled faintly and stared at the woman in front of him with gloomy eyes. For a moment, he was in a trance.
