Married to the Male Lead’s Brother

Chapter 139 – Listening to the low grunt from next to her, Ning Zhi blushed.
(1)

The banquet was about to start.

Lin Tiantian noticed that Ning Zhi had yet to be back.
She was a bit worried and nervous.
Had Ning Zhi discovered something?

Lin Tiantian felt that that should not be the case.
Mother Lu’s stomachache was an unexpected incident.
Even the heaven was on her side.

She had the whole incident well-planned and there should have been much to give it away.

Lin Tiantian thought through the entire process, made sure that everything was fine, before she let out a sigh.

“Alright, most of the guests had arrived.
Let’s head out.” Mother Lu stood up.

Father Lu quickly supported his wife.
“Are you still hurting? You can stay here and rest if you want.
I can go entertain the guests.”

Seeing that his wife was still a bit pale, Lu Dongzhou was worried.

Mother Lu leaned against him and said slowly, “I’m fine.
You will be there with me.
I’ll let you know if things change.”

“Alright, but remember to not push yourself too hard.” Father Lu brushed a strand of his wife’s hair back behind her ear and a tenderness appeared on his otherwise solemn and handsome face.

Lin Tiantian started to say, “Mom, Xiao Zhi had been gone for a while.
I wonder if everything’s okay.
I’ll go look for her.”

“No need.
There are a lot of guests so it makes sense that the line at the bathroom may be long.
Let’s head out first.
The banquet is starting.” Mother Lu wasn’t worried about Ning Zhi’s safety.
The Lu family owns part of this hotel.
It had good security, and nobody would try to pull anything here.

Truth was, Mother Lu figured that Ning Zhi had gone back to the room to look for Xiao Jue.

Mother Lu’s face lightened up from the thought that the two of them were getting closer and closer together with each other.

Lin Tiantian was about to say something else but she was cut off by Mother Lu.
“Let’s go.”

Many guests attended Mother Lu’s birthday banquet and all of them were the rich and famous of City B.

Lin Tiantian wondered why Ning Zhi never returned but she didn’t receive a message from Han Qiu so things should be fine.

She recollected herself and walked next to Father and Mother Lu.
She smiled and greeted the other rich housewives that came up to talk to them.

“This is your first daughter-in-law?” Mr.
Li looked at Lin Tiantian.
She had met Ning Zhi, the Lu’s second daughter-in-law in the past.
This one didn’t remotely measure up to her.

“Yes.
Tiantian, this is Mrs.
Li.”

Lin Tiantian quickly smiled and greeted her.

Another woman chimed in, “Mrs.
Lu, your daughter-in-law looks familiar.
I seemed to have seen here somewhere before.”

Mother Lu, “She’s an actress.
Perhaps you have seen her on television before.”

“An actress?” Mrs.
Wu gave Lin Tiantian a loaded look.

Mother Lu didn’t have a lot of ask for the younger generation.
She did not care that Lin Tiantian wanted to join the entertainment circle.
From Mother Lu’s perspective, nobody would care to bully a Lu.

The other housewives, however, didn’t necessarily agree with that line of thinking.

Some wealthy people do not like those in the entertainment circle.
Hearing that Lin Tiantian was an actress would, inevitably, made her look at her differently.

Most importantly, with Lin Tiantian’s current look, she wasn’t all that among all the other women present there.

It was said that she was from a regular family as well.
Even though the first young master of the Lu was adopted but their second young master never showed his face and was ill, First Young Master Lu was the one taking care of the Lu Corporation with Father Lu right now.

It was obvious that he would be the one succeeding the Lu Corporation.
On top of the fact that First Young Master Lu was very handsome, he had a lot of better choices.

The others couldn’t understand why Lu Shao had picked Lin Tiantian.

Ever since Lin Tiantian had stolen all of Ning Zhi’s halo, she was pretty and, with the effect from the halo, she was also the center of attention at any event.

And now, the contempt toward her in the eyes of the other women made Lin Tiantian’s eyes dimmed.

If Han Qiu could succeed today and put Ning Zhi in a bad situation, that would allow her to take Ning Zhi’s halo back again.
