Chapter 287: Chapter 287: Isolated_1

"Whose family member is she, being so extravagant?" A sister-in-law couldn’t help but say sourly.

She’s grown so big and still has never tasted delicate fruits like mangoes and cherries.

"No idea, but she seems very unfamiliar."

"Didn’t Captain Lu’s romance report just come out, I reckon, this is probably Captain Lu’s girlfriend."

"So, she’s Captain Lu’s girlfriend. Although Captain Lu earns a pretty high salary, it can’t sustain this kind of spending."

Except for a few people, the research institute was not aware of how affluent Lu Tingli’s family was.

"Look at what she’s wearing, it’s a limited edition dress from Jiehao Clothing Company, I heard it costs several hundred bucks a piece!"

"My goodness, she’s actually wearing a several-hundred-dollar dress? My husband makes about that much in half a year. To wear such expensive clothes, she must be insane!"

Xia Ningxing, overhearing their whispers, couldn’t help but frown and thought about saying something, but in the end, she was too lazy to explain.

After all, it’s not their family’s money she’s spending, why should she need to explain?

Though she thought this way, Xia Ningxing still decided to keep a lower profile in the future, so as not to attract negative attention to Lu.

Although the research institute was a serious place, there’s no place in this world without darkness or underhanded struggles. It’s possible that some people are just waiting for you to make a mistake so they can take you down in one swoop.

What Xia Ningxing didn’t know was that after she left, Dr. Jiang, clad in a white lab coat, came over and started chatting with the group of sister-in-laws.

"What are you all discussing?" she asked with a knowing smile.

The sister-in-laws said, "Who else but Captain Lu’s young girlfriend? She’s so outrageously extravagant, buying so many things and wearing such expensive clothes!"

"You’re talking about her..." Upon hearing this, Jiang Rou instantly looked like she wanted to say something but stopped herself.

Seeing Jiang Rou appear to know some inside information, the sister-in-laws quickly abandoned their shopping to press her for the juicy details.

"Dr. Jiang, do you know this young wife?"

"Right, do you know her? Tell us about her!"

Everyone asked noisily.

Life in the family quarters was monotonous and scarce of excitement. Any tidbit of novelty was exceedingly rare, so everyone was extremely curious.

Jiang Rou hesitated for a moment and then as if she couldn’t resist their questions any longer, she began, "Her... Actually, I don’t know much, just that she’s a rich girl, who has lived a life of luxury since childhood. It’s quite normal for her to spend money lavishly and to wear clothes that cost hundreds of dollars..."

Fearing they would suck up to her, Jiang Rou quickly added:

"Moreover, I’ve heard that her temper is not that good, and her family is quite powerful. Her dad has a lot of clout in the business world and knows many important people. Anyway, if you can avoid offending her, you should because you might not like the consequences if you do."

Just yesterday, when Jiang Rou encountered Xia Ningxing at the Lu Family house, she had paid someone to inquire about Xia Ningxing’s family background.

Now exaggerating and distorting the truth, she described Xia Ningxing as a haughty, spendthrift rich girl, and portrayed her family as unscrupulous merchants who exploited the common people.

The sister-in-laws, being naïve and not very educated, felt both envious and afraid after hearing this. They didn’t stop to consider that if Xia Ningxing’s family background was truly bad, then her and Lu Tingli’s romance report could not possibly have been approved.

"So she’s a rich girl, no wonder she lives such a lavish life. Let’s just stay away from now on. These rich girls always have the worst tempers; it’s difficult to get along with them."

"Indeed!"
