Such a Rude and Noisy Woman

Chapter 69 Scramble For A Husband In Rong's House

"But I don't want to make you feel obligated to do anything. Please just answer me honestly. My

question is, are you going to work in Hiram Rong's company in the future, or are you going to stay at

home and be a full-time housewife?" asked Celine.

Without hesitation, Rachel answered frankly, "I like keeping myself busy with work. If no other

companies employ me, I'll consider working in Hiram's company."

Rachel absolutely wouldn't be a full-time housewife.

Maybe she would change her mind in the future, but at least, for the moment, she wasn't able to do

that.

"If you do join his company, could you ask him to hire all the members of sales team A? We want to

continue working with you. If you think we're capable enough, we want to follow you and work in Hiram

Rong's company.

"We don't care about how much the salary would be. We're not asking for much. Anyway, we've no

confidence in this company anymore after this incident. We can't see a promising future working there."

Rachel kept silent for a moment as she pored over Celine's words. Then she replied, "Okay, I'll tell

Hiram about this. I think that there's a good chance that he'll agree to it."

Rachel was determined that if Hiram didn't agree to it, she would start her own business together with

her teammates.

Rachel was the team leader of sales team A. It was an excellent team. Rachel believed that she would

be able to work smoothly anywhere if the whole team continued to follow her.

"Really?" said Celine excitedly.

"Of course, trust me. I would never lie to you, " Rachel said confidently.

Celine was thrilled. This was great news for the whole team.

She excitedly thanked Rachel on behalf of all the members of team A. Then she asked, "Oh, right! Mr.

Rong has been on his business trip for more than ten days. Is he coming back soon?"

Rachel paused and put her glass down on the table. Hiram hadn't called her yet.

At first, Rachel had thought that Hiram would call her at least once a day.

However, for the past ten days, she only saw Carl calling Hiram all the time and reporting everything to

him. But Hiram hadn't made a single call to her.

Rachel had sent some WeChat messages to him, but he hadn't answered any of them.

"He said that he would stay there for about two weeks. I think he should be coming back soon, " Rachel

answered with hesitation.

She found it difficult to understand Hiram's complicated thoughts. She was unable to guess what he

was thinking. Maybe he just didn't like to make constant phone calls to a woman to talk about

something romantic.

Celine nodded her head. She noticed the lonely and upset look in Rachel's eyes, so she comforted her

by saying, "Rachel, don't overthink it. Mr. Rong is always occupied with a lot of work. I think he's just

too busy. That's why he's always on some business trip or the other."

Rachel raised her eyebrows and said, "But I guess that he might want to make me know the feelings of

living without him, so that I would know his importance. I will prove to him that I still can live a happy life

without him!"

Rachel was well aware of Hiram's strong ability in controlling his inner feelings. He was good at

restraining himself.

"Rachel, sometimes I really think that no other woman in this world but you would be able to conquer

Mr. Rong, who is like a wild horse in a prairie, " Celine praised Rachel sincerely. Rachel was indeed the

right one for Hiram.

Rachel came to Hiram's life by coincidence, and Hiram happened to be the man who was able to open

Rachel's heart. They were bound to be together.

Suddenly, Rachel's phone rang. She glanced at the screen of her phone and signalled Celine to keep

silent. She picked up the call and said, "Hello, mom?"

She was cautiously answering it, because this mother was not Rachel's mother, Fannie, but it was

Hiram's mother, Joanna Fang.

"Rachel, are you free now? If you're free, please come back to our house. Something has happened

here, " Joanna said calmly on the other line.

"Um... Okay, I'm coming there now, " said Rachel. She felt anxious. Joanna had never asked her to go

to the Rong's house for something urgent before. Rachel wondered what could have happened.

After she hung up the phone, she worriedly looked at Celine and said, "Let's meet next time. Hiram's

mother asked me to go back to their house for something urgent."

"Fine, then you go back first. Take care of yourself!" Celine said with a perplexed face, but she didn't

dare ask about it. She didn't know the whole story yet, so she was afraid that she might look like she

was poking her nose into Rachel's business.

In the Rong family's house...

A few days had passed since Rachel visited the Rong family's house last time. This time, she bought

some gifts on the way. Whether the gifts were expensive or not to the Rong family, Rachel thought that

it was the proper manner to do it.

"Mom, I'm back, " Rachel said with a smile as she walked into the living room. But as soon as she

entered and saw the people sitting there, the smile on her face faded away.

Colin Ruan, Selina Zhou and their daughter were sitting on the sofa of the living room.

Hiram's father, Gavin Rong, wasn't at home. Although he had handed the company over to Hiram,

Gavin still spent most of his time abroad taking charge of their business there.

When Joanna saw Rachel, she stood up and beckoned her to come over.

Rachel put down the gifts, changed into a pair of slippers and walked inside.

She went to her relatives and greeted them with courtesy. "Uncle Colin, Auntie Selina, why are you

here? Why didn't you call me in advance?" Rachel looked at her three family members. She was

actually very shocked, but she tried to hide her emotions and keep a calm look on her face.

Of course, Rachel undoubtedly understood the purpose of their sudden visit.

But Rachel hadn't expected them to be shameless enough to come straight to the Rong family's house

to scramble for a husband.

"Rachel, I know that it's not polite to come here without informing you first. But we just wanted to visit

the Rong family and get acquainted with each other, " Selina Zhou said, smirking. She then glanced at

Joanna and continued, "Because you know, you and Vicky are both the Ruan family's daughters. I think

the Rong family should know about Vicky, too."

Rachel nodded and immediately shifted her eyes to Vicky Ruan, and asked, "So...that's why you're

here. Oh, Vicky, I have two dresses that would suit you very well. You'll look quite good in them. Why

don't you follow me to my bedroom and try them on?"

Rachel figured that they wouldn't leave the house so easily, so she decided to persuade Vicky first.

After all, she had a good relationship with Vicky.

Vicky wanted to agree with Rachel, but Selina pulled her arm and discreetly pinched her.

Vicky knew what her mother meant. Not daring to stand up, she answered meekly, "Um...no, thanks.

Rachel, I have enough clothes."

Devoid of any facial expressions, Joanna discreetly observed this whole family exchange and said,

"Rachel, since I was living abroad before, I didn't know about the whole background of your family. I

didn't know that your father had an elder brother, too."

The Rong family only knew that the Ruan family had a son called Simpson Ruan. They didn't know

there was also another son called Colin Ruan.

Before Rachel could say something, Colin answered instead, "Yes, you were always so busy and you

had been abroad for so many years. And I was brought up by a relative rather than my own father.

That's why you didn't know about my existence."

"Yes, yes. Though Colin didn't grow up together with Rachel's father, both of them are the Ruan family's

sons. This is the fact, " Selina echoed. She kept observing Joanna's reactions, too.

Rachel looked at them and then turned to Joanna. She whispered, "Mom, it's already late. If you're

tired, please go and take rest. I'll keep my uncle and aunt company."

Joanna nodded, stood up and said, "Okay, I am indeed a little tired. Please receive your uncle and aunt

well. You can carry on talking among yourselves."

After Joanna left, Colin and Selina glared at Rachel.

"Uncle Colin, if you have anything to say, you can tell me directly. Please try not to come here anymore,

" Rachel said calmly.

"Rachel, Mrs. Rong didn't say anything to refuse our visit. How dare you say something like that to us!

That's so impolite of you!" Selina scolded and let out a cold hum. She was already very furious that

Rachel had asked Joanna to leave. She had wanted to become familiar with Joanna.

Since Joanna was Hiram's mother, Selina thought that if she could win Joanna over, it would be more

possible to have Vicky marry into the Rong family.

Rachel tittered and stared at her coldly.

"Auntie Selina, who is being impolite here? It seems like you came here to see me. But you didn't notify

me before you came here. Why? What's the reason?"

Obviously, Selina was determined to get Rachel out of the Rong family upon her arrival at the Rong's

house. In Selina's eyes, her daughter was the perfect person to be the Rong family's daughter-in-law Nôvel(D)rama.Org's content.

and live in this luxurious house.

"Rachel, you've already cheated the Rong family. You know that? If they had known from the beginning

that there is also another daughter in the Ruan family, do you think they would've chosen you?" Selina

sneered. Vicky was about five or six years younger than Rachel. She was young and beautiful. Selina

believed that Rachel was no match for Vicky.

Throughout the whole conversation, Vicky kept her head down.

But she happened to catch a glimpse of the family photo on the wall, and suddenly broke her silence.

She looked at the photo on the wall and asked, "Rachel, who is the man standing at the back in the

photo there? Is that Hiram Rong?"
