Chapter 793 She Has To Get Rid of Ms. Lang
Queenie was washing vegetables in the kitchen, but her mind seemed to be elsewhere. She was in ahorrible mood.
She wondered why her two daughters had been fraught with obstacles recently.
First, her younger daughter was caught taking drugs and detained in the drug rehab center. Then, herelder daughter’s husband got into an accident.
The Galleria's collapse was no small matter. T Corporation would be ruined if the matter was nothandled properly, not to mention that Luke, as its CEO, might be sentenced to prison.
During her hospital visit, she noticed that Luke was not in a good physical condition, and she wonderedif he had thought of a solution yet.
Jack might be trying his best to pull some strings, but he was about two years away from retirement,and his relations in the political scene were already starting to distance themselves from him. Also,Jack's impartial attitude had made him many enemies over the years.
Leia, her younger daughter, had always caused her worry. Her personality had changed completelyever since she got out of the drug rehab center. She seemed to be afraid of crowds, and she lockedherself in the room all day. She even rejected any invitations to go shopping.
If only she did not have to worry so much about her daughters!
She washed the bones, scraped off any meat, tossed the bones into the boiling pot, then added variousseasonings to make soup.
Then, she minced the meat, mixed it with chives, chopped carrots, and some salt, then stirred it into afine paste. She was going to use that as the filling for the dumplings she was about to make.
Dumplings in soup made for a hearty meal.
Queenie loved dumplings, especially the ones she made herself. She loved cooking, and she would besatisfied if her cooking could make her husband and daughters happy.
She would cook in the kitchen whenever she was troubled. That served as a distraction from whateverwas troubling her.
After that, she mixed the ingredients and prepared the dough with a rolling pin.
When Ms. Lang stepped into the kitchen, she saw Queenie's hands deftly churning out paper-thindumpling skins.
They were arranged neatly on the kitchen counter.
Ms. Lang smiled and stepped forward. "Do you need my help, Madam?" "It's fine, Ms. Lang. There areseveral stray pieces of laundry on the living room couch. Please put them in the washing machine."
Ms. Lang was about to leave when she suddenly remembered the uncanny scene she saw in Leia'sroom.
She hesitated if she should inform Queenie about it.
Queenie noticed that Ms. Lang was thinking about something and asked," What's wrong, Ms. Lang? Isthere something?"
Ms. Lang remembered Leia's icy gaze, hostile expression, and most importantly her brazen threat. Shegulped and decided not to tell Queenie about it.
Even so, she tried to hint at something. "It's nothing, Madam. I... I noticed that Ms. Leia seems to betroubled by something recently, and she always looks tired. You might want to pay more attention toher." "Mm, don't worry. I'll take care of her," Queenie replied.
"I'll be off to do the laundry then. Please call me if you need me," Ms. Lang nodded politely at Queenie,then turned around and left the kitchen.
At the kitchen entrance, she bumped into someone with a pair of eyes as sinister as a venomoussnake.
That was Leia!
Despite her shock, Ms. Lang greeted her, "Ms... Ms. Leia." "Mm,” Leia replied coldly and ignored her asshe stepped into the kitchen.novelbin
Ms. Lang thought that she was lucky for not telling Queenie about what she saw in Leia's bedroom.Otherwise, Leia might overhear that and would make sure that she would not be able to work in theNorman residence anymore.
She knew that she had to be careful in the future.
When Leia saw Ms. Lang walk away hastily, she knew that something was amiss. She did not know ifMs. Lang had noticed Wayne's presence in her room or if Ms. Lang had told her mother anything, butshe suspected that Ms. Lang saw something in her room.
She was not going to let that woman stay in the Norman residence anymore!
Leia stepped into the kitchen and saw that her mother had prepared many dumplings. The dumplingskins were translucent, and the pink filling could be faintly seen underneath.
Queenie was an artist. Not only her paintings were beautiful, but even her dumplings looked like worksof art. They probably tasted as good as they looked.
"Mom," Leia greeted her mother sweetly as usual and gently hugged her shoulders. "Are you makingdumplings? They look so good. I'd like to learn how to make them."
Queenie's motherly instincts gushed forth when her daughter was acting coquettishly toward her. Shepoked her daughter's forehead with her flourtipped finger. "Alright, I'll teach you everything. At leastyou'll know how to do some housework by the time you get married, and your future mother-in- lawwont make fun of you."
Leia pouted contemptuously.
She was fated to live a life of luxury, and she would only marry a wealthy husband from an influentialfamily. All her needs would be fulfilled by caretakers, so why would there be a need for her to learn howto do housework?
Even so, she washed her hands, dried them, then sat down next to Queenie and learned how to makedumplings.
While making a dumpling, she ventured, "Mom, I think that Ms. Lang has been getting lazy lately. Shedoesn’t clean the house as thoroughly as she used to, and she's becoming passive. Also, didn't herson's wife give birth to a baby not too long ago? Maybe she'd rather take care of her grandchild, and Ithink we should let her go. Otherwise, her daughter-in-law might blame her for not taking care of thebaby. We should look for another caretaker. What do you think?"
Queenie's hands stopped, and she frowned. "Ms. Lang has been working with us for almost five years.She has a trustworthy character, and she rarely makes any mistakes. As for her grandchild, you don'thave to worry about it. Ms. Lang said that her daughter-in-law quit her job to be a full- time mother.Moreover, the baby's other grandmother has already retired, and she has volunteered to take care of
the baby at their house. Ms. Lang is working to pay for her son's family expenses. They won't blameher for neglecting the baby."
Leia had no reply to that. She smiled but did not say anything.
However, the gears in her mind were whirring. She had to get rid of Ms. Lang as soon as possible!
On Luke's fifth day in the hospital, Gale and Rain paid him a visit, bringing good news that could help TCorporation out of its crisis!
