Chapter 164 - "Mom, I have an idea. Just work with me on it." (4)
“Then, your look from now on……” asked Mother Lin with hesitation. “You can’t become pretty once again?”
She loves her niece too but, naturally, she sided more with her own daughter in comparison.
Mother Lin understood her daughter’s feeling very well.
Her daughter was like her. Her older sister had always been prettier than her since childhood. They were born from the same parents, but her older sister was very pretty, and she was just average.
That was one her biggest regret.
When she saw that her daughter was becoming prettier and prettier and Ning Zhi becoming more and more ordinary, she was very happy for a while there, as though her regret had been made up somehow.
Lin Tiantian bit her lip. “Not unless we can get the halo back again.” That would be difficult with the way it looked right now.
“Mom, I came today to tell you something even more important.” Lin Tiantian recalled the purpose of her visit.
"Something more important than this?” Mother Lin was baffled. How much was there about her daughter that she didn’t know about?
“Yes, very important.” Lin Tiantian looked around.
“The servant is working in the garden,” said Mother Lin.
“Mom, do you think you can get the little jade stamp back from Ning Zhi?”
“Little jade stamp?” Mother Lin couldn’t remember what that was right away.
Lin Tiantian said anxiously, “The one that you returned to Ning Zhi on the day of your birthday. You said it was from her parents.”
Mother Lin got it now. “Oh yeah, I remember it now. Ning Zhi’ parents left that behind for her. You want it?”
“Yes, I do. Mom, that is very important to me and we must get it back.” Lin Tiantian’s tone was solemn and affirmative.
Mother Lin noticed that something was off. “What do you want the little jade stamp for?”
“I can succeed a lot of money with it.”
Mother Lin was even more stunned. “Inheritance? Where is this inheritance from? And how do you know that?”
“Mom, just trust me.”
Her premonition dreams were even more unbelievable than her being able to steal halo with her jade pendant. Lin Tiantian decided against telling that to Mother Lin.
Mother Lin sighed. “Oh, child, why didn’t you tell me that sooner. I have already given it back to Ning Zhi. How am I supposed to get it back from her?”
Even though she was Ning Zhi’s aunty, but she couldn’t possibly encroach on what Ning Zhi’s parents had left for her.
Even if she wanted to, that didn’t meant that Ning Zhi would be okay about it.
Lin Tiantian frowned. Had she known that her mother had it, she would have taken it a long time ago and this quandary.
She said to her mother, “Mom, I have an idea. All you have to do is to work with me.”
Mother Lin was still somewhat hesitant about it. That was, after all, what her sister and her brother-in-law had left behind for Ning Zhi.
Lin Tiantian said, “Mom, we can make it up to Xiao Zhi if we can get the money.”
She wooed her mother. “Besides, we had kept it safe for her all these years and we had raised her and taken care of her for years. Mom, you had been so nice to her.”
She stressed the most important part. “Mom, with that inheritance. Our family will be able to rival the Lu’s in the future.”
Mother Lin shuddered. What a concept to be able to rival the Lu’s.
“If that’s the case, that meant that Ning Zhi’s dad was from a prestigious family.” Mother Lin had always wondered why her sister would marry a poor man with not a penny under his name. She had not expected that he had a background like that.
Mother Lin was not stupid. She analyzed the situation, “If she is from a prestigious family, so what if we have the little jade stamp? We are not related to them by blood. Why would they give us their inheritance?”
Lin Tiantian had it all figured out. “Of course we are related to them by blood. We have Ning Zhi. When the time comes, we will use her hair or whatever for the DNA test.”
Most importantly, the old man in her dream was already on his death bed and was very eager to locate his only remaining family member. And he only had one trusted aid by his side.
Lin Tiantian felt that she had a very good shot at it.
“Regardless, what we urgently need to do right now is to get our hands on that little jade stamp.” With the little jade stamp, Ning Zhi’s hair, and the words of the trusted aid, Lin Tiantian felt that she had a 70% shot at it.
Listening to her daughter’s word, Mother Lin finally agreed. Perhaps they really would be able to pull it off.
