Chapter 40 - She almost coughed out blood (3)

After Mother Lin had left, Lin Tiantian walked over to Ning Zhi. “Xiao Zhi, I want to talk to you.”

“What about?” Ning Zhi tightened her lips some. “About why you gave alcohol to Lu Jue?”

“What are you talking about?” Lin Tiantian was shocked. “Why would I do such a thing? What would I get out of that?”

She looked carefully at Ning Zhi. “Why would you think that? I feel that your attitude toward me have changed recently.”

Ning Zhi looked at her coldly. “You don’t need to explain yourself. I know it was you.”

Even with no evidences, Ning Zhi still knew that it was Lin Tiantian who did it.

The reason was simple. She wanted Lu Jue to embarrass himself in front of everyone and thereby giving Ning Zhi a hard time.

Overlord had mentioned that the worse her life was, the unhappy she was, the easier it was for Lin Tiantian to steal her halo from her. Lin Tiantian had been setting the original owner up all along in the past.

“What is up with you, Xiao Zhi?” Lin Tiantian frowned.

The wine was poured by the servant and every guest had a glass. There was one at Ning Zhi’s spot and one at Lu Jue’s. The alcoholic content was very high.

She had expected that Lu Jue would for sure made a scene at the banquet after two glasses.

And Ning Zhi would, therefore, felt very embarrassed for having married such a husband. She would hate Lu Jue even more and also her days with the Lu family.

Sadly, she didn’t think that Ning Zhi would be back so soon and pulled Lu Jue away with her.

Lin Tiantian didn’t believe that Ning Zhi had any actual proof. After all, she didn’t plan any of these intentionally. She knew that sometimes what took place unintentionally and leaving no traces behind would appear more genuine.

Besides, she was not so stupid that she would try to set Lu Jue up at the Lin family’s banquet and leave evidences behind.

Ning Zhi didn’t bother arguing with her. “I’m a very petty person. Whatever others did to hurt me, I will double that when I return the favor.” She curved her lips some and said, “Let me think. What is it that you care about the most?”

Lin Tiantian was baffled by what Ning Zhi was saying.

Ning Zhi didn’t care about Lin Tiantian’s reaction and just slammed the door close in front of her.

What Lin Tiantian cared about the most was her halo and that fake look of hers.

Looking at the 10 sparkling suns in her mind, she said, “Overlord, exchange 10% of my halo for me!”

Overlord’s milky voice was very cheery. [No problem, Host!]

After trading in 10 little suns in one go, Ning Zhi saw that the color of her hands lightened up instantly.

Outside of the door, Lin Tiantian walked downstairs, irritated. She still looked somewhat unhappy when she got back to Lu Shenyuan.

“What happened?” Lu Shenyuan took a look at his wife and was a little surprised.

Noticing the surprise in his eyes, she put her disgruntlement toward Ning Zhi aside and asked him shyly, “Why are you looking at me like that?”

“Your face……”

“What about my face?” Lin Tiantian knew that she was pretty and, sometimes, Lu Shenyuan would zone out while staring at her.

She pulled out her little cosmetic mirror and she was stunned when she looked into the mirror.

She had inherited Mother Lin’s face shape with prominent cheek bones and a square face. Ever since she had stolen Ning Zhi’s halo, her face shape had self-corrected and turned slowly into a beautiful tapering shape.

And now, her cheek bones were showing. They were not as prominent as they were before but her face was also not as delicate as it once was.

Meeting Lu Shenyuan’s inquisitive look, she quickly covered up her cheeks with her hands and went on to explain, “I ate too much lately.”

Her mind raced. What was going on?

After she had exchanged for her halo, Ning Zhi went back to the bed.

When she saw Lu Jue lying in bed, topless with only his pair of colorful underwear for the bottom, she almost coughed out blood!
