Chapter 1209 You Really Are Heartless
Sure enough, this talk was spread by someone with an intention, and after Kong Xiangrui came back and told Yiting about it, Yiting suggested, "Should I call sister-in-law and ask them not to send things over anymore? I’ve already removed my cast and am about to start working at the Education Bureau soon."
Kong Xiangrui shook his head: "That’s the second sister-in-law’s way of showing care. The two sister-in-laws have not treated you as an outsider just because you got married. They really want to be good to you."
"What do you suggest we do then?"
"It’s fine. We have just been too low-profile. That’s my fault, always afraid that my identity would be revealed, and that people would say I only rose up because of the Yue Family, which is why I have always asked you to act modestly. Yiting, I have wronged you."
"What are you talking about? I also feel there’s no need for others to know my family matters. Who would have thought that people could spread such words."
"Don’t worry about this; I’ll handle it."
In just a few days, someone came to the family residential compound to investigate the source of the rumors, and after some probing, the few who had gossiped together that day were pulled out and had to face scrutiny in front of the whole compound.
Lu Yiting’s family background was also exposed during this affair: her maternal grandparents were old revolutionaries, her father and Big Brother were active-duty military officers, her mother was a martyr, her second brother was in the police force, her first sister-in-law worked in a government department, and her second sister-in-law had been sent abroad for studies on a government scholarship.
