Chapter 61 - "Lu Jue, I've found you." (2)
Ning Zhi changed into her high heels and got ready to go. “I’ll be back later than normal tonight.”
There was no expression on Lu Jue. He didn’t acknowledge her.
Ning Zhi was only informing him. She hadn’t expected a response.
The charity ball took place at a hotel and all of the proceeds from the auction would be donated to those in need.
Ning Zhi had attended plenty of these events with her parents in the past. She felt that, comparing to the gathering solely for eating, drinking, and having fun, albeit equally boring, at least gatherings like these were more meaningful.
“Just follow me and buy anything that you like.”
Mother Lu maintained herself very well. That, on top of the fact that she was a beautiful woman when she was young, she was still very attractive when she dressed up.
She reminded Ning Zhi with a smile. “Don’t worry about money. The card that I gave you before belongs to Xiao Jue. You are his wife. It’s your right to spend his money.”
What Mother Lu didn’t tell her was that most of Lu Corporation’s dividends went into this card. She didn’t want to scare Ning Zhi with the amount in it.
Mother Lu didn’t worry that Ning Zhi would spend extravagantly. After all, there was more money in there than Ning Zhi could spend in a lifetime.*
After receiving fancy jewelries from Mother Lu multiple times, Ning Zhi had already learned that her mother-in-law was a very generous person. As long as she was nice to Lu Jue, her Mother Lu would put up with a lot.
Ning Zhi smiled and acknowledged Mother Lu after she heard that.
Many of the wealthy housewives from the other prominent families came up to greet them when Mother Lu showed up with Ning Zhi.
Mother Lu introduced Ning Zhi to them. They had never announced her in the past so this was Ning Zhi’s first time being introduced to the other prominent families.
Many guests knew that Second Young Master Lu was autistic and it was the Lu’s adopted son who was currently assisting Father Lu in taking care of the massive Lu’s empire.
“She is beautiful. Madam Lu is so lucky.”
“She looks very loveable.”
“You could tell she’s a smart one.”
……
The ladies that came over studied Ning Zhi carefully. They praised her verbally as they looked at her with a hint of contempt.
She was born to an ordinary family. Decent looking but there were plenty of beautiful looking girls there. Ning Zhi seemed very ordinary when compared to them.
Had the Second Young Master Lu not be autistic, with the Lu family’s status, he could totally have married an outstanding lady. But now, the Second Young Master Lu who never showed his face could only marry such an ordinary woman.
Ning Zhi was not silly. Naturally, she could tell the how fake and perfunctory the other madams’ words were but she didn’t care.
During the banquet, Mother Lu was surprised to find out that Ning Zhi’s was poised and not intimidated at all when talking to the other madams.
Ning Zhi didn’t fawn over them because of their high status. She acted appropriately and even handled the situation very well. She made the other chuckled.
It was as though she was born for environment like this.
Mother Lu remembered the first time she brought Ning Zhi with her to a banquet. As much as she tried to hide it, her pettiness showed. She stooped very low when she interacted with the other guests and made herself a laughingstock of many.
This new Ning Zhi had opened up Mother Lu’s eyes. Naturally, the more outstanding Ning Zhi was, the better.
“What did you say to Madam Wang earlier to make her so happy?” Mother Lu was curious.
Ning Zhi took a few sips of her red wine before she put her glass down. “Madam Wang is wearing a pink diamond ring. There are only 15 pink diamonds in the world that are over 10 carats in size and Madam Wang one is one of them and it is also the only one that reached F in grading.”
Ning Zhi blinked at Mother Lu and said in a cheerful tone, “I just told Madam wang that the rare youthful pink diamond ring compliments her very well.”
Madam Wang smiled at Mother Lu and said, “Madam Lu, this daughter-in-law of yours has good eyes.”
Mother Lu had no idea how Ning Zhi was able to appraise diamonds but she was happy that Ning Zhi was praised.

Translator’s rambling:
I used to think that was just a figure of speech, but evidently, one CAN be so rich to have more money than one could spend in one’s lifetime.
