Chapter 50 Fire In The Backyard
Ellie rolled her black eyes and quickly put on a cheerful smile. "Aunt, let's go inside."
With a gloomy face, Amanda walked in.
"Aunt, wait here. I'll go upstairs to look for Belinda." Have Amanda seated on the sofa, Ellie went upstairs quickly.
Ellie opened the door directly and saw the curtain was closed and the whole room was dark. Belinda covered herself under the quilt.
"Belinda! Why are you still sleeping? " Ellie screamed, walked to the window and drew the curtain apart. The sunshine fell into the room brightly. Belinda narrowed her eyes and said, "Ellie, why are you here?"
She asked with her hands blocking the dazzling sunshine.
"Get up quickly. My aunt is here!" Ellie stepped forward and pulled her.
"Aunt? What aunt? " Belinda was confused.
"Cousin's mother, your mother-in-law, aunt Amanda is back! She's downstairs! " Ellie said angrily and handed the clothes to her.
"What?" Belinda responded in shock and jumped off the bed immediately.
Amanda frowned and looked at the quiet mansion with a long face. There was no one in the living room.
Belinda put on the clothes and looked downstairs carefully. Amanda was sitting on the sofa in a neat, elegant and solemn manner, "Shh!" She slowly withdrew her head and said, " She's so serious. She's
more terrible than grandma. Ellie, please do me a favor and tell her that I'm not at home! "
She held her hand and begged in a low voice.
"I can't. We just met Sophie downstairs. She told us that you hadn't got up yet!" Ellie frowned.
"Let's go!" Seeing that Belinda was afraid to move, Ellie pulled her up and went downstairs.
The stairs creaked as Belinda stumbled. Hearing the sound, Amanda turned around and looked at the two people seriously.
"Good morning, mom!" Belinda smiled sheepishly and waved her hand as a greeting.
"Morning? Look at the clock. What time is it? " Amanda snapped, glancing at the clock angrily.
Belinda put on a casual suit and hurriedly tied up her hair into a ponytail. She lowered her head and couldn't help but curl her lips after glancing at the clock for a while.
"Your name is Belinda? Did you come from a martial arts club? " Seeing that she didn't say anything, Amanda took a deep breath and asked with disdain in her eyes.
"Yes, Ren He Martial Arts Club I grew up there. "
"In the martial arts club, the rules should be more strict. Did you get up as late as now?" Amanda held her head high and glanced at Belinda contemptuously.
"Besides, martial arts schools are strict with students. They should be able to endure hardships and stand hard work. But you seem to be lazy and indulgent. Can you take good care of Arvin!"
Amanda looked at her with distaste. She had thought that the woman who could marry her son must be a well-educated, gentle and virtuous woman, but when she looked at Belinda, she was not pleased at all.
Belinda listened quietly, but her heart was getting sadder and sadder. She raised her head and said, "Aunt, I regard you as an elder, so I respect you. But you haven't looked directly at me since you came in. "
She said indignantly. Seeing that things were not going well, Ellie hurried forward and pulled her, but she shook her hand off.
"What, what's wrong with you? What did you call me? Aunt? You don't even call me mom, do you? " Amanda sat up and shouted at her in surprise.
"That's because I don't want to insult the address 'mom'. In my opinion, mom should be gentle and loving, but you don't deserve it! You just don't like me, do you? "
Belinda turned around and spoke frankly.
"How dare you!" Amanda was so angry that her face turned red. Pointing at her, she was too excited to say anything.
"Is Arvin a kid? Why does he need me to take care of him? Do you take me as your daughter-in-law or servant? "
Belinda looked at Amanda calmly. She had been careful to please her mother-in-law, but now it seemed that it was completely unnecessary.
"Is this how you treat the elders? How ill bred you are! " Amanda was so angry that her attitude towards Belinda suddenly became as cold. as ice. "Don't think that I don't know what you are thinking about! There are a lot of girls of your birth on the street. You can't marry into the Xue family by virtue of your family background.

She cast a scornful glance at Belinda and continued, "I advise you to cut it off as soon as possible and be sober! I heard that Arvin hasn't come back for days, right? "
She said slowly, "it seems that there is not only a huge rift between your family backgrounds, but also in your relationship. Don't think that you can do whatever you want with the support of Madame Xue!"
Amanda snapped angrily. At last, she sat on the sofa with a cold face, picked up the tea cup and took a sip elegantly.
Belinda's delicate face twisted with agony. She stared at her stubbornly, "You don't have the right to judge my past and way of life by my family background. Besides, you can ask Arvin if I am the kind of person you said!"
Belinda turned around and went upstairs in anger.
"Belinda!" Ellie shouted anxiously. Seeing that Amanda was sitting on the sofa and drinking tea calmly, she hesitated for a while and didn't chase after her, "Aunt, what you said just now really hurts. I believe that Belinda is not that kind of person!" Ellie squatted down and comforted her in a low voice.
Amanda looked at her seriously and put down the teacup. "Ellie, you are still young. You don't understand the sinister nature of people. Back then, I was deceived by someone's appearance just because I didn't know people's innermost. That's why I ended up like this."
Amanda said as her eyes looked on blankly.
"It's hard to read people's mind. But I have much more experience in dealing with all sorts of people. As the old saying goes, the amount of road that I have walked is more than the amount of salt you have eaten. "
"But aunt Amanda..." She opened her mouth and wanted to explain, but Amanda shook her head helplessly, turned around and walked out of the living room.
She looked upstairs worriedly and turned around to go out.
It seemed that she did something bad without Arvin's permission and got into trouble again!
The car stopped steadily at the old house of Madame Xue. After Amanda went into her room, Ellie frowned and dialed the number with concern.
"Cousin, I seem to get into trouble again!" She said with regret and guilt.
Sitting in the meeting room, Arvin glanced at the crowd indifferently, turned his chair and strode out of the meeting room.
"What trouble did you get?" Arvin said in a low voice. His cousin always turned to him whenever she went into trouble.
He had been used to seeing Ellie make trouble!
"I'm sorry, Cousin! It's not that I'm in trouble, but you, your backyard is on fire! "
