Married to the Male Lead’s Brother

Chapter 377 – Lu Jue mumbled in the middle of the night. (1)

Ning Zhi returned to the Ning’s.

Returning to her family this time was even faster than last time. So fast that it shocked Ning Zhi.

Old Mr. Ning seemed to steadfastly believe that she was his granddaughter the moment that he saw her.

Even so, Ning Zhi still had him do a DNA test.

After spending a few days at the Ning’s, Ning Zhi had fully recovered from her illness, looking much healthier.

She had tea with Old Mr. Ning that afternoon.

“I will hold a banquet after a little while to announce to everyone that you are my granddaughter.” Old Mr. Ning could not contain his happiness as he said this.

With her past experiences, Ning Zhi was not surprised this time. “Sure, whatever makes Grandpa happy.” She had no preference.

Much like before, Old Mr. Ning doted on Ning Zhi. He was finally able to locate his family after such a long time.

The butler, too, was happy for Old Mr. Ning. It had been a very long time since he saw Old Mr. Ning being so happy.

A servant approached them right then. “A young woman came,” said the maid with hesitation. “She said she is looking for our Master and that she is family.”

Old Mr. Ning had just found his granddaughter. So what was with this other one?

Ning Zhi’s lips curved upward. She knew that Lin Tiantian had done this in the “past,” but she wasn’t there in person. Lo and behold, she was here in person this time to witness her tomfoolery.

Old Mr. Ning looked at his granddaughter and said to her, “Don’t you worry. I will have the butler send her away.” His subtext was that he trusted Ning Zhi.

As far as Old Mr. Ning was concerned, he had a very familiar feeling when he saw Ning Zhi, the kind that one felt when one was with family. He nor the DNA report could not be wrong. Even when he heard the maid, he did not waver.

“That’s alright, Grandpa. I am very curious who came to claim to be your granddaughter.” Ning Zhi wanted very much to see Lin Tiantian’s reaction when she saw her there.

Old Mr. Ning placed his granddaughter above everything else. “Sure. Whatever you like.” As such, he had the butler bring Lin Tiantian in.

Walking inside the Ning’s, Lin Tiantian tried to rein in her excitement. She was very glad that Ning Zhi had taken off from the Lin family and went to Lord knows where. It had allowed her the opportunity to come to Ning’s without any worries.

“This way, please.” The butler paid special attention to this strange girl and noticed that she did not remotely measure up to Ning Zhi.

Lin Tiantian followed behind the butler with her eyes filled with excitement.

“Master, she is here.”

Lin Tiantian spotted the pretty girl sitting on the redwood chair, and the excitement disappeared from her eyes in an instant. She was stunned. So stunned that even her voice was different. “What are you doing here, Ning Zhi?”

Ning Zhi was very pleased with how baffled Lin Tiantian was. Her lips curved upward, and she asked, “What am I doing here? What are you doing here?”

Lin Tiantian felt her scalp tingle. She never thought that she would run into Ning Zhi here. Biting her lips, she forced herself to say, “I have important matters.”

Ning Zhi nodded. “Oh, I know. You are here to reunite with your family, so you can take the Ning’s fortune.”

“What are you talking about?” Lin Tiantian was enraged.

Ning Zhi toyed with Lin Tiantian like a cat toyed with a mouse. She enjoyed how awkward Lin Tiantian looked. She said slowly, “Oh, am I wrong? Are you not here to reunite with your family?”

Considering that they were over at the Ning’s, Lin Tiantian took a deep breath and did not wish to continue with the argument.

Lin Tiantian had a bad feeling. She had no idea why Ning Zhi would be at the Ning’s. Had she already reunited with her family?

The servant brought over some delicate snacks. Old Mr. Ning had purposefully asked for them for Ning Zhi, who enjoyed them very much.

Ning Zhi picked up a piece of osmanthus cake shaped very much like a real osmanthus with petals and light color jam in the middle. Like a languid cat having an afternoon snack, she savored a piece, while Lin Tiantian stood nervously across from her.

“Miss, didn’t you say you have something to tell our Master?” The butler reminded Lin Tiantian when he noticed that she was in a daze.
