Chapter 287 - He needed to make Zhizhi more brown sugar soup. (2)

It was already dark when Ning Zhi and Lu Jue got home.

Ning Zhi was surprised to find out that Lin Tiantian was there as well.

“Xiao Zhi, you guys are back?” She smiled and greeted Ning Zhi from the living room.

She realized that it had been a while since she had last seen Lin Tiantian, and her shock continued as she discovered that Lin Tiantian had plastic surgery. Her nose bridge had been raised, and her chin had changed quite a bit as well. It was quite obvious that she had work done on her face. Even with the plastic surgery, however, her appearance still didn’t quite measure up to the days when she had the halo.

She was just a little better looking than her original look and was less ‘blah.’

Mother Lu finally looked more relaxed when she saw that Ning Zhi and her son were back. “You’re back? How was your trip? Did you have fun? Are you tired? Come and have a seat.”

Lin Tiantian felt bitter and jealous seeing how Mother Lu was haughty and cold toward her but very passionate and caring toward Ning Zhi.

The very next second, she recalled the dream that she had the night before and became happy. She knew that Mother Lu would regret preferring Ning Zhi later on.

She had another realistic dream the night before. She dreamt that Ning Zhi had taken off from the Lu family and was in a relationship with another handsome man. She was chatting and laughing with that man, while Lu Jue was lying in bed, ill.

Ning Zhi would cheat on Lu Jue.

All of Lin Tiantian’s bitterness was gone when she remembered that.

Right then, a servant brought down a suitcase. “First Young Madam, here are all of your clothes.”

Lin Tiantian nodded and said, “Thank you.”

She stood up and took the suitcase from the servant. She had returned this time to pick up the remainder of her clothes as well as to find out how Ning Zhi was doing.

Mother Lu was so blind and treated Ning Zhi like she was her own daughter. Mother Lu thought that Ning Zhi would be nice to Lu Jue if she treated her nicely and that Ning Zhi would stay with the Lu family. It never occurred to her that Ning Zhi would take off from Lu Jue and the Lu family in the future.

Just you wait. The nicer Mother Lu was to Ning Zhi and the more the Lu family members doted on Ning Zhi, the more regretful and hateful they would feel toward Ning Zhi in the future.

She would wait for the day when the Lu family regretted being nice to Ning Zhi and come to despise her.

Ning Zhi could feel Lin Tiantian looking at her as though she was mocking her.

Ning Zhi was baffled.

Mother Lu finally cheered up after Lin Tiantian had taken off with her suitcase. She smiled and said to Ning Zhi, “So tell Mom. How were the last two days……”

That night, Ning Zhi frowned when she recalled that hostile look from Lin Tiantian.

It felt like Lin Tiantian knew something that she didn’t and that she was waiting for the day that something bad would happen to Ning Zhi.

Ning Zhi harrumphed in displeasure.

Inside the kitchen, Mother Lu was standing next to her son and looking at him, feeling at peace.

Her son had grown so much and had learned to take care of others.

Next to him, Aunt Hua was coaching him. “Young Master, you can add in the brown sugar when the water starts to boil. If Young Madam doesn’t mind the taste of ginger, you can add some of those as well.”

Mother Lu didn’t know how to cook either. Thus, she nodded along with Lu Jue when they heard Aunt Hua’s instructions.

Mother Lu was happy to see her son taking care of Ning Zhi. She was also pleased to see that Ning Zhi and Lu Jue were growing closer to each other as each day went by.

They were all indicative of her son’s improving condition.

Meanwhile, Lu Jue was stirring the brown sugar soup inside the pot clumsily. His pitch-black eyes brightened when he saw the bubbles rising.

“Okay, it’s ready, Young Master. You can pour the brown sugar soup out now.” Aunty Hua instructed him patiently. She had wanted to help him, but he had declined her help.

Lu Jue carefully poured the brown sugar soup into a small, white ceramic bowl. Mother Lu quickly pulled out her cell phone. Not only did she take a photo of her son’s tall back inside the kitchen, but she had also taken a photo of the brown sugar soup that her son had prepared.

She posted the photos to her friend's circle excitedly. “The son is growing up. He had learned how to take care of his wife.”
