Chapter 168 - He grunted like a little beast who had been attacked.

(1)

Ning Zhi gave it another look.

The lip print was very light and faced Mother Lin’s direction.

If her vision wasn’t good enough and happened to glance over it, it was difficult to spot.

She felt comical.

She really wanted to see what Mother Lin was up to.

Once she had made certain that it was the same little jade stamp that she had given to Ning Zhi, Mother Lin quickly closed the lid back up.

Then, as though unintentionally, she placed the box behind her, having no intention of returning it to Ning Zhi.

Ning Zhi glanced over at the box and asked, “Little Aunty, is there something wrong with the it”

Mother Lin sighed and said, “Your parents had been coming into my dreams as of late.

I planned to take this to the temple to have a ritual performed on it by a monk.

“I will give it back to you after the ritual.”

Mother Lin added, “I know you young people are different and don’t believe in these things.

It’s just for my peacefulness of mind.

I wish for my sister and my brother-in-law to be able to rest in peace.”

Mother Lin had always been in the habit of offering up incense at the Buddhist temple.

Nothing that she said was out of the ordinary.

Had Ning Zhi not noticed that Mother Lin’s illness was faked, she would almost have bought into her story.

Looking at Mother Lin’s place look, she nodded.

“Okay, Little Aunty.

You do what you need.

I’ll just follow your leads.

Just give it back to me after the ritual has been performed.”

Mother Lin couldn't help but smiled, “You have always been a docile one since you were a child.

You are not like Tiantian, who is always driving me crazy.”

With the little jade stamp in hand, Mother Lin was much relaxed.

With the mention of her daughter, she couldn't help but studied Ning Zhi more carefully when Mother Lin looked back at her.

She had felt that Ning Zhi had been looking more and more ordinary on the day of her birthday.

Looking at Ning Zhi once again, it was, indeed, like her daughter had said.

The halo had returned to Ning Zhi, and she now looked again like her old self.

Mother Lin had mixed feelings.

As opposed to her niece, deep inside she wanted more for her daughter look pretty.

Ever since she was a child, her old sister had always been the prettier one and others had always only saw her sister.

As such, Mother Lin could relate to her daughter’s feelings.

She did not wish her for daughter to live in the shadow of Ning Zhi’s beauty.

She wasn’t certain whether her daughter would be able to grab the halo once again in the future.

Sitting across from her, Ning Zhi gave Mother Lin a meaningful look but said nothing.

Ning Zhi sat around for a little while longer then, not wanting to spend any more time there, Ning Zhi said goodbye to Mother Lin.

It was obviously that Mother Lin, too, had something else on her mind and only asked politely once or twice for her to stay longer but did not insist on it.

Looking feeble, Mother Lin said, “I will have someone see you out.

I didn’t get much sleep last night and am going to head upstairs for a nap.”

“That’s quite alright.

I can see myself out.” Ning Zhi stood up and pulled out a tissue.

Suddenly, she leaned into Mother Lin with the tissue in hand.

“What’s the matter” Mother Lin was startled by Ning Zhi’s sudden approach and wanted to back away.

Ning Zhi wiped Mother Lin’s forehead with the tissue and said, “Little Aunty, you are sweating profusely.

Are you hot”

“Oh” Mother Lin was a little perplexed.

“No.”

Ning Zhi said worriedly, “Could it be that you hadn’t been resting well lately and had grown weaker”

Mother Lin stiffened up.

At this distance, she worried that Ning Zhi would notice something.

“Perhaps.

I just need a few days of rest is all.

Don’t worry about me.

Have a safe trip back.”

Ning Zhi smiled and, still with the tissue in her hand, said, “Okay.

You get some rest then.”

Mother Lin looked at the tissue in Ning Zhi’s hand.

She wanted to say something but finally, her lips moved, but she didn’t say anything.

She could do nothing except to watch Ning Zhi left.

Walking out of the Lin’s, Ning Zhi looked at the foundation that was on the tissue.

Ning Zhi’s lips curved.

She had done what she did on purpose.

Mother Lin was troubled now as to whether Ning Zhi had noticed anything.

And that was exactly what Ning Zhi had wanted.
