Chapter 297: Chapter 297 Jiang Rou’s Sinister Scheme 2_1

Jiang Rou sighed in frustration before saying, "Here’s the thing: Our opera troupe is rehearsing a dance, but one dancer twisted her ankle and injured her tendons—it won’t heal for a month, so she can’t dance. But we can’t be one person short, so I’d like to ask for your help to join the opera troupe and rehearse with us."

Xia Ningxing could easily tell she was up to something and immediately refused, "Sorry, I don’t know how to dance."

"That’s okay, it’s not a very difficult dance, very simple, and with your smarts, you can definitely do it!" Jiang Rou encouraged her with sincerity on her face.

"No! I can’t!" Xia Ningxing continued to refuse.

Jiang Rou frowned, not expecting her to be so difficult to deal with.

Shouldn’t a rich girl like her love to be in the spotlight?

Why was she so different?

But thinking of her own plan, Jiang Rou didn’t give up and extended another sincere invitation, "Miss Xia, I’m begging you, please help us out, will you?"

"If I could, I really wouldn’t want to bother you, but you are the only young girl in the residential compound."

The way she was persistently trying to get her to join the opera troupe made Xia Ningxing suddenly feel that Jiang Rou was somewhat pitiable, designing her full heartedly, yet Ningxing wasn’t cooperating!

Oh my god!

She was being too much!

After reflecting on herself, Xia Ningxing changed her mind, "Alright then, I agree!"

She wanted to see what this woman was really up to!

Since she was rather bored anyway, she might as well use her to pass the time and entertain herself.

Luckily, Jiang Rou didn’t know Xia Ningxing’s real thoughts, or she would have strangled her.

"Then it’s settled, Miss Xia. Come to the opera troupe tomorrow to report, and we’ll rehearse together!" Seeing her plan had mostly succeeded, Jiang Rou’s eyes gleamed with joy, a trace of cold light flickering in her eyes.

Such a naive young girl, so easy to deceive!

"Okay."

Xia Ningxing confirmed.

When Lu Tingli came back in the evening, Xia Ningxing told him about it.

He frowned immediately, "Baby Xing, I think Jiang Rou must be up to some trick. Don’t fall for it. Refuse her immediately."

Although he was a straight male, he was one with a keen intuition for schemes!

While serving him dishes, Xia Ningxing said, "Of course, I know she’s after me. Don’t worry, I won’t let her succeed."

"It’s not about fearing the one in a thousand chance, but the ’what if’ that one chance occurs," Lu Tingli was hardly reassured by her knowingly walking into potential danger.

Setting down her chopsticks, Ningxing spoke earnestly, "Lu, as the old saying goes, you don’t fear a thief who steals, but one who’s always thinking about it. Since she wants to take me down, even if I don’t agree this time, there will be another time. At least this time I can guess what she’s up to, she probably just wants me to make a fool of myself. But what if I don’t agree and next time she secretly plots against me, and I’m caught completely off guard?"

She continued, "And do you believe that if I refuse this time, she’ll spread rumors about me, saying that, as a family member of a researcher, I’m unwilling to contribute even the slightest effort for the institute?"

Xia Ningxing’s guess was right; if she refused, Jiang Rou would spread the word that she had no sense of collective honor and was a selfish person who only thought of herself.

"You make a good point," Lu Tingli murmured thoughtfully, nodding, "Well then, wife, just be careful."
