Married to the Male Lead’s Brother - Chapter 378

Chapter 378 – Lu Jue mumbled in the middle of the night. (2)

Lin Tiantian’s nails dug so much into her palms that they hurt.

“I……”

She was stupid enough to try to pretend to be Ning Zhi right in front of her. Besides, judging from how Ning Zhi’s body language suggested that she was a host there, Lin Tiantian had a very bad feeling.

After Ning Zhi had finished with a piece of snacks, she took a sip of the fruit tea. All of them exactly how she liked them.

Ning Zhi was very pleased to see Lin Tiantian breaking out into cold sweat in a temperature-controlled room, looking troubled and embarrassed. She had wanted to make Lin Tiantian felt uneasy and panic.

After a little while, Ning Zhi started to talk.

“Grandpa, she stole my little jade stamp. I am certain that she has the little jade stamp on her right now.”

Lin Tiantian’s eyes were round from surprised when she heard that. “Ning Zhi, you……”

What did she just hear?

Ning Zhi referred to Old Mr. Ning as grandpa? How was that possible?

Ning Zhi left the Lin’s to come here? And she had reunited with her family?

“Well, if it was stolen, we will just have to get it back then,” said Old Mr. Ning as he looked ingly at his granddaughter, his tone authoritative.

The butler had been with Old Mr. Ning for years and understood what he was really saying. “Yes, Master.”

He had the two maids stepped up. “Get Young Miss’s little jade stamp back.”

The two maids were used to doing housework and they were not gentle at all. One of the pinned down Lin Tiantian and restrained her arms while the other got ready to search her pockets.

Lin Tiantian struggled madly. “What are you doing? You have no rights to search me. Have you gone mad, Ning Zhi?”

Ning Zhi said slowly, “Grandpa, the thief stole what belonged to us. Should we call the cops?”

The butler responded quickly, “Yes, we should.”

Lin Tiantian was about to lose her mind. “I didn’t. You can’t do that to me, Ning Zhi!”

Ning Zhi would readily admit that she was not a nice person. With Lin Tiantian offering herself up to her, Ning Zhi certainly wasn’t going to hold back. Besides, Lin Tiantian asked for it. She had committed a crime and should be punished by the law accordingly.

The butler placed the call quickly.

Lin Tiantian could no longer hold herself back and she started calling Ning Zhi vile.

“This is so noisy.” Ning Zhi asked Old Mr. Ning, “Grandpa, how long will it take to acquire a small company?”

Old Mr. Ning smiled kindly at his granddaughter. If his granddaughter had said she wanted the moon, even if it’s the reflection of one, he would still try to get it for her. “It won’t take days. All it will take is a phone call.”

Lin Tiantian looked at Ning Zhi fearfully. Her shouted stopped abruptly and her knees weak. “I’m sorry, Ning Zhi. I was wrong. I never should have taken your little jade stamp. Please don’t acquire our company. I am very sorry for what I have done.”

Without the company, the Lin would be nothing.

“You have traded my parents’ insurance money for the Lin’s company. It should have been gone a long time ago.” Ning Zhi did not feel that she needed to be nice.

She had gotten her little jade stamp back. As she had said it before, she would get back what was rightfully hers.

Lin Tiantian’s body went limp and all of her strength had left her. Blood left her face. It was over. It was all over.

The police came quickly and took away the disheveled Lin Tiantian.

Mother Lin, who was waiting at the hotel, had no idea that not only did her daughter’s plan failed, she had also been arrested. In addition, the Lin Corporation was about to be acquired.

The Lu’s house.

Mother Lu had been sighing for a while now. “What do you think is going on with our son? He felt even colder and had a pathetic feel to him in the last few days? I can’t shake the feeling that there was something troubling him.”

“Did he break up with his girlfriend?” She had asked about his girlfriend a while back but he refused to share anything.

“When you were pursuing me, you looked just like that when I ignore you.” The more Mother Lu thought about it, the more she believed that she was right. Her son was dull in the past and cold now. He did not look like someone who knew how to woo a girl.

Mother Lu sighed again. “I’m afraid that Xiao Jiu had been dumped.”
