Chapter 364 - She is going to go look for Lu Jue. (1)
Edited by: Lulu

Ning Zhi’s head was pounding when she woke up. She then heard a familiar annoying voice coming from her side.

“Mom, Ning Zhi is awake. I told you that she is fine, but you still insisted on taking her to the hospital.”

“She is running a high fever. We don’t want her brain damaged because we didn’t take her to the hospital.” Mother Lin walked up quickly when she saw Ning Zhi’s eyes open. “How do you feel, Xiao Zhi? You passed out suddenly and scared me.”

She wanted to check Ning Zhi’s temperature on her forehead, but Ning Zhi avoided her hand.

Ning Zhi had no idea why she was over at the Lin’s. She remembered being stabbed before she separated from Lu Jue. She recalled what Overlord had told her and thought that she was going to die there.

Mother Lin was taken aback a little.

Lin Tiantian harrumphed. “Look, Mom. She didn’t even appreciate what you had done for her. You don’t need to be so nice to her.”

Lin Tiantian sounded very impatient. “She is fine. Let’s go try on the gowns. The Lu’s banquet is tonight. The invitation wasn’t easy to come by. We must be well prepared for this.”

“The Lu’s banquet?” Ning Zhi didn’t recall Mother Lu mentioning that they would be throwing a banquet.

Lin Tiantian looked at Ning Zhi in bed. Ning Zhi’s little face was red from the fever. Even her lips were red, and her eyes were moist. Any way she looked at Ning Zhi, Lin Tiantian still found Ning Zhi very irritable to look at.

It baffled Lin Tiantian that even though Ning Zhi’s mother and her mother were sisters, which made her and Ning Zhi related, Ning Zhi was the one who became prettier and fairer as time went by. What’s more is that they even grew up in the same environment!

As for herself, she was decent at best.

Especially now, Ning Zhi was in a white sleep gown, lying in bed. Her little face was pink, and there was a kind of sickly beauty to her. She made one want to dote on her.

Nobody the fatty at Yu’s wanted to marry Ning Zhi right after he had seen her. He was even willing to give them the Yu’s stocks as a bride prize.

Lin Tiantian was envious.

That being said, the idea that she would be attending the Lu’s banquet and had an opportunity to meet Young Master Lu made her feel much better. “Oh right, I will be attending the Lu’s banquet with Mom tonight. It is Mr. and Mrs. Lu’s wedding anniversary today, and Mrs. Lu had invited many girls from upper-class families.”

“We only have two invitations. I was going to take Tiantian with me. You are ill and should not be out and about. You should stay home and rest up,” said Mother Lin.

Ning Zhi had a bad feeling. She flipped over the blanket and was about to get out of bed. “I am going back to the Lu’s.”

“Is your brain damaged by the fever?”

Hearing what Ning Zhi had said, Lin Tiantian snickered incredulously.

“What nonsense are you talking about? What do you mean by returning to the Lu’s? Our family isn’t even good enough to associate with the Lu’s, and here you are, wanting to head over to their place uninvited?”

“Xiao Zhi, maybe you need some more rest?” said Mother Lu as she looked at Ning Zhi dubiously. “Perhaps you should make a trip to the hospital and have a doctor give you some medication.”

Ning Zhi’s heart sank. Her hunch had been confirmed. “I had been at the Lin’s the entire time? I was never with Lu Jue?”

Lin Tiantian looked at Ning Zhi as though she was looking at a mad person. “I guess your fever has really damaged your brain. You think you are with Lu Jue? You should think about your situation first. You are an orphan. So many rich girls out there want to marry Lu Jue. You really should stop dreaming now.”

Mother Lin looked at Ning Zhi, concerned. This was the first time she realized that her niece was also interested in Lu Jue. “Even when the Second Young Master Lu was autistic, you still may not be able to marry him. Never mind that he had recovered a year ago and had been learning to manage the Lu Corporation. He is going to be the heir of the Lu Corporation.”

She said in a concerning way, “We should be pragmatic and not aim higher than what we can realistically reach. Yu Jia is not a pretty boy and is a bit chubby, but he is also an honest boy. He will be nice to you in the future. You should really give him some thought.”

Ning Zhi’s assumptions had been completely confirmed by Mother Lu’s words.

Lu Jue had recovered from his autism after the kidnapping a year ago. He is now being primed to take over the Lu Corporation.

That was to say that she did not marry Lu Jue a year ago.

She had no connection with Lu Jue right now, and there were no traces of her in his memory.
