Chapter 1 – Is he saying that he finds her ugly? (1)

The girl in the mirror had delicate features and everything on her was just perfect. Her original bright and charming color felt just ordinary. Even her skin had a hint of yellow hue to it. It looked like pearls that were covered in dust and had lost their original luster. They were greyish and ordinary.

After she was done looking into the mirror, Ning Zhi looked back at her cellphone again. There were the original owner's pictures in there. The girl in the pictures had bright eyes and shiny teeth, her skin tone fair. Just one look and nobody would be able to look away from her.

Ning Zhi frowned.

Her features didn't change at all so why was it that she looked so different than she was before?

Suppressing her doubts, she watched as the car drove inside of the mansion area.

She put the makeup mirror and her cellphone back into her purse and got ready to get out of the car. The very next second, someone had already opened up the car door.

“Second Young Madam,” said the butler. There was urgency in his voice. “Madam asked you to hurry over.”

Ning Zhi had already received the call when she was in the car and had learned from the butler that the Second Young Master, who was also the original owner's husband, was having another episode.

She nodded, “Okay. Let's go.”

Inside the living room, Mother Lu looked pale as she watched her son continuously banged his hand against the wall. She felt like an ant in a frying pan and she couldn't be more anxious.

“Is Ning Zhi back yet?” Her brows furrowed deeply and she looked very worried.

The servant replied quickly, “Butler is already waiting for Second Young Madam up front.”

Ning Zhi walked inside right after the servant had finished saying that.

Delighted, the servant said, Madam, Second Young Madam is back.”

When Mother Lu saw Ning Zhi, she quickly said, “Hurry up and go stop Xiao Jue. Don't let him hurt himself.”

With the exception of Ning Zhi, Lu Jue wouldn't let anyone close to him. No matter how much she disliked Ning Zhi, Mother Lu had no choice but to put all of her hopes on Ning Zhi right now.

From her memory, Ning Zhi new that this elegant and well-maintained woman was Song Ya, Lu Jue's mother. She loved Lu Jue a lot and he was the one whom she cared about the most. She had never had any complaints or resentments toward him just because he was autistic.

Ning Zhi looked at the man who was banging his head against the wall.

He was tall and slender and wearing a red sweatshirt. With his back to her, he was methodically banging his head against the wall.

Clearly, he had done this many times before and all the walls in the room was padded and wrapped in beige leather. Inside of them were probably cotton or other types of padding. The paddings were very think and there was no way that Lu Jue could hurt himself while banging his head against them.

“Don't just stand there. Stop him quickly,” urged Mother Lu.

Ning Zhi tried to recall. Lu Jue has always been autistic and had started treatment since a very early age. It shouldn't be too serious but, for some reason, he had never gotten any better. In fact, after being kidnapped once, his autism seemed to have gotten worse and he had become with more withdrawn. He refused to be touched by anyone and would only lock himself inside his own shell.

Even Mother Lu wasn't able to communicate with Lu Jue. She could just feel anxious as she watched him.

Up until the point when original owner showed up. Mother Lu noticed that Lu Jue's eyes would linger on her and allowed her to get close to him and touch him.

Mother Lu was pleasantly surprised by that observation.

And then, original owner married Lu Jue.

As expected by all, the original owner was not fond of Lu Jue. After all, who would be fond of someone who was ill?

Lu Jue was always indifferent and isolated. He didn't like to talk; nor was he interested in anything that went on around him. He didn't care about those around him nor did he care about how others feel toward him. He was living in his own world.

He did not make for a good companion, let alone a life partner.

Mother Lu could clearly see the dislike and resentments that the original owner had toward Lu Jue but there was nothing she could do about it. How she felt was personal and, as mighty as she was, she couldn't force original owner to have feelings toward her son.
