Married to the Male Lead’s Brother

s taken aback a little then, she switched to a lectured tone and said in an accusatory manner, “He’s red all over.
Don’t you think he is overshadowing Mom, who is the host of the day?”

The corners of Ning Zhi’s lips dropped a little and her tone nonchalant.
“Aunty just said that she sees me as her own daughter.
Are you saying now that she’s the host and I’m a guest?”

Mother Lu gave Lin Tiantian a look, smiled and said to Ning Zhi.
“Elders nowadays are not so rigid any more.
Tiantian cares too much about what is appropriate.”

Ning Zhi was always a smart one.
She didn’t miss the subtexts in Mother Lin’s words.

She wasn’t sure earlier what kind of attitude she should have with Mother Lin, she did now.

“Yes, the Lu family didn’t have that many rules either.” Ning Zhi scooted closer to Lu Jue, smiled and said, “Besides, red looks great on Lu Jue.
Have any of you ever seen anyone looking better in red than him?”

Her tone was filled with her pride for Lu Jue.

Lin Tiantian felt that she was hallucinating.
Was Ning Zhi just bragging about Lu Jue?

Ning Zhi redirected the conversation suddenly, “If we really want to talk about what colors are appropriate, isn’t the white color that you have one even more inappropriate? This is a birthday banquet, not a……”

Lin Tiantian turned pale.
She hadn’t expected Ning Zhi to behave like a completely different person.
She was being so blunt and confrontational.

“Alright, let’s stop chatting and start eating.
The dishes had been served.” Mother Lin wasn’t looking too happy either.
Her face dropped and she forced a smile on herself and urged the others to start dining.

Afterward, Mother Lin and Father Lin only talked about Lu Shenyuan as though Lu Jue wasn’t there at all.

Ning Zhi wasn’t sure whether it was because she had already taken Lu Jue out into the public twice before or that she had saved him twice in the past, she noticed that even with so many people around him, Lu Jue was still only sitting there quietly.
He did not grab her hand tightly from the fear of the crowd.
