Chapter 42 - A crack on the jade (2)

“It’s not hard work.

I enjoy taking care of Lu Jue,” said Ning Zhi.

Mother Lu was aware of Ning Zhi’s abrupt change in attitude but she had no interest in finding out the reason behind that.

As long as Ning Zhi was nice to Lu Jue, she would be nice to Ning Zhi.

“Ma, I want to learn more about Lu Jue’s childhood.

Can you tell me more” Ning Zhi felt that if she could find out more about Lu Jue’s childhood, that would be beneficial to her saving him.

As a mother, Mother Lu was only too happy to talk about her son.

“What would you like to know”

“Had he been bullied as a child, or suffered any injury or illness Something along that line.”

Mother Lu was surprised by Ning Zhi’s abrupt questions.

As though recalling from her memory, “Xiao Jue was a special case.

He was different from other children.

I recalled that he liked hiding inside the closet for a while there and refused to come out no matter what I said to him.

The doctor said that was one way that autistic people protect themselves.”

Mother Lu carried on.

“Then there was this one time when he almost got lost.

I was so worried that I was up all night.”

Ning Zhi had done some reading on it.

It was easy for autistic individuals to get lost.

In addition, they don’t know how to communicate with others so they would not ask for directions when they are lost.

Sometimes, they wouldn’t even know to avoid the cars on the streets.

That could be very dangerous.

Mother Lu did not sound disgruntled when she talked about these.

She did not feel that Lu Jue was a burden.

Ning Zhi chatted with Mother Lu some more before Mother Lu pulled out a gift box that she had brought back from the auction.

She handed it over to Ning Zhi.

“This is…...” Ning Zhi opened up the box and sitting inside of it was a broach with a red gem.

The gem was red like blood and its color mesmerizing.

“I just got this from the auction.

Keep it,” said Mother Lu with a smile.

“Only young people like you will look good with bright color like this.”

Ning Zhi could tell the value of the broach with just one look.

Even if the gem on the broach was not the best of it best, it was still a rare one.

It must have cost at least 8 million yuan, if not more.

She didn’t think that Mother Lu would give her a gem now right after she had given her the jade bracelet.

Ning Zhi suddenly realized that it was amazing to have a generous mother-in-law!

Lin Tiantian happened to walk in right now and saw Ning Zhi putting on the broach given to her by Mother Lu.

Pausing a little on her way, her eyes dimmed a little.

Not only did Ning Zhi’s attitude toward her had changed, she had also learned to fawn over Mother Lu.

Walking toward them, Lin Tiantian mindlessly looked at Ning Zhi’s face.

She suddenly noticed that Ning Zhi had become lighter.

She wasn’t very light but nobody knew about the change in Ning Zhi’s appearance better than her.

Lin Tiantian recalled the change in her own face shape.

She panicked a little.

Could the two incidents be somehow related

Lin Tiantian hurried back to her room after she had greeted Mother Lu.

She removed the necklace from her neck.

The jade pendant is shiny.

As she had taken away all of Ning Zhi’s halo, she hadn’t been paying the jade too much attention lately.

When she looked at it carefully, she finally noticed a tiny crack on top of the white jade.

Why did that happen

Had she bumped it inadvertently some time

Now that her cheek bones started showing a little and Ning Zhi had become a tad lighter.

For sure both had something to do with the crack on the surface of the jade.

The thought made Lin Tiantian worry after the fact.

If the jade was broken, did the mean she would return to her old self

Lin Tiantian looked at the tiny crack on the jade and her heart ached.

Now that she was aware of it, she must do her best in protecting this piece of jade going forward.

She carefully put the necklace back on and placed it inside her collar, hiding it against her flesh.

Lin Tiantian wasn’t too worried that Ning Zhi had become lighter.

All she needed to do was to get the halo back.
