There was no way that Ning Zhi would stay at the Lin’s.

“Look, Mom. We’ve raised her for years, and she wasn’t appreciative of that at all.” Lin Tiantian couldn’t wait for Ning Zhi to leave. Once Ning Zhi had left the Lin family, she was nothing.

Mother Lin was even more displeased. She felt that Ning Zhi was too immature. She had raised her all these years. Not only was Ning Zhi not thankful for it, but she would dare to throw them around, leaving them when she was upset. “We can talk about it at home tonight. Let’s not make a scene here.”

“Exactly, Ning Zhi. Hurry up and leave. Stop embarrassing us and yourself here.” Lin Tiantian had on makeup and a delicate dress. Lifting her chin, she felt superior to Ning Zhi, who only had on a plain dress.

“This is the Lu’s. You don’t have the right to send me away.” Ning Zhi’s eyes were cold. “Unless you already think of yourself as part of the Lu’s?”

Lin Tiantian’s eyes widened from anger. “You……”

“Tiantian, it’s time for us to go in. We will talk about this later.” Mother Lin did not wish to attract attention to themselves and promptly left with her daughter.

Ning Zhi looked away from Lin Tiantian’s face which was twisted from anger.

Lin Tiantian and Mother Lin presented their invitations. Lin Tiantian made a point to turn and look at Ning Zhi gloatingly as she walked in. However, she saw that Ning Zhi wasn’t paying her any attention at all.

Lin Tiantian was displeased.

“Why do you care about Xiao Zhi? You are the only one that’s going inside, and she is the one standing outside.”

Mother Lin taught her daughter. “Don’t be as shallow as Ning Zhi. Greet Madam Lu politely and show her your best side.”

Lin Tiantian listened to her mother. She reflexively straightened her back and said, “You are right, Mom.”

Ning Zhi was an orphan, and she couldn’t even walk inside the Lu’s place right now. She should not let a nobody like Ning Zhi bother her.

It’s just that for some inexplicable reason, she felt unreconciled whenever she saw Ning Zhi’s pretty face. Somehow, she had an inkling that she, too, could become as pretty as Ning Zhi.

Lin Tiantian recalled the jade that she bought at the market a while back. It was broken before it could make her pretty. That thought made her unhappy.

It was bright inside the Lu’s living room, and every corner was bustling with activities.

Many guests had already arrived, and they greeted Father and Mother Lu.

Some couldn’t help but ask why Lu Jue wasn’t there.

In the past, the Second Young Master Lu had never shown his face due to his condition, but many had seen him since he had recovered and joined the Lu Corporation. Many were stunned by his look.

Many of the guests present were very curious about Lu Jue whom they knew very little about.

Hearing the guests bring up her son, Mother Lu simply smiled and said, “Xiao Jue is still busy at work. I’ve called him already and urged him to come home soon. He’s on his way and should be arriving at any time now.”

Lin Tiantian and Mother Lin located Mother Lu. They were delighted and hurried over toward her.

“Good evening, Madam Lu.” Mother Lin smiled and greeted Mother Lu politely.

“Good evening, Aunty Lu. I am Lin Tiantian.” Lin Tiantian pinched her voice and greeted Mother Lu softly and tenderly.

Mother Lu did not know the two of them. As such, she simply nodded at them in greeting. Looking at the girl who had just introduced herself as Lin Tiantian, Mother Lu felt an inexplicable resentment toward her. Maybe it was her smile. Whatever it was, Mother Lu couldn’t help but avert her eyes reflexively.

Mother Lin nudged Lin Tiantian, hinting at her to perform well.

It was getting dark, and the banquet was about to start.

The guests continued to arrive inside one by one, and the bright living room became more lively. Outside of the Lu’s place, however, it had quieted down.

There were only the two security guards standing guard and Ning Zhi, who was standing not too far away from them.

She looked intensely at each car that went by, but Lu Jue wasn’t in any of them.

Ning Zhi had no idea how long she had been waiting. Her legs were weak, and her throat was extremely dry. Even her normally red, full lips were chapped from her thirst.

She was running a fever and only had a thin dress on. She wasn’t sure whether she was feeling colder and colder because of the fever or because the temperature was actually dropping.

Experiencing a profound sense of sadness and loneliness, she looked at her own shadow and decided to go back, if she didn’t see Lu Jue soon.

Suddenly, the surroundings brightened, and a black car approached.

The car drove past Ning Zhi, and seeing the familiar face inside the car, Ning Zhi was delighted. “Lu Jue.”

She walked up to the car quickly.

“Lu Jue!”

Ning Zhi started to run. The hem of her light blue dress floated in the air.

From inside the car, Lu Jue looked out the window, and his pitch-black eyes glanced casually over the girl’s face.
