Chapter 2398

Ling Yiran had done some research beforehand, so she specifically talked about how she balanced her career, marriage, and children to have more common topics to talk about with Zhang Yaer. Just then, a voice suddenly rang out. "I don't know if all this is true. Who on earth are you? What's your agenda for approaching Yaer at this party?" Ling Yiran turned her head and saw Xia Huan speaking. Xia Huan's eyes flickered with jealousy. Ling Yiran's elegant and luxurious outfit was worth a fortune. 'She probably borrowed everything she’s wearing using some connections!' Xia Huan thought to herself. She remembered Ling Yiran as one of the three people who barged into Xia Xi's ward that day. "Agenda?" Zhang Yaer and the rich wives nearby were surprised. "Yeah." Xia Huan approached Zhang Yaer. What had happened between Xia Xi and Gong Nanting was suppressed by all three families. Although she was Xia Xi's sister, there was no permanent enemy in business. Moreover, she was the young madam of the Su family, so she socialized a lot with the Gong family. She would often talk to Zhang Yaer at parties. When Xia Huan saw Ling Yiran talking to Zhang Yaer, the first thing that came to her mind was Xia Xi! 'This woman probably approached Zhang Yaer to learn more about Xia Xi!' With that in mind, Xia Huan suddenly panicked. She must not let anyone bring up what had happened back then. Otherwise, some problems would probably arise. Ling Yiran smiled slightly.."Oh? I do wonder what agenda I have." Xia Huan narrowed her eyes. She could not say she saw her in the mental hospital in public, so she said, "You’re dressed up like some aristocratic lady today. I wonder what your family does? I can see you're not from Deer City. Your outfit probably cost a fortune, though. I suspect you spent a fortune to dress up like this just to join this party.” Xia Huan's questioning was aimed to embarrass Ling Yiran. The aristocratic ladies who previously talked with Ling Yiran were also watching. Zhang Yaer even looked at her suspiciously. "I'm from Shen City, and my husband is also a businessman in Shen City. My husband prepared this outfit for me. I don't know how much this cost." Ling Yiran was telling the truth. When Yi Jinli learned that she was attending a party, he contacted the couture boutiques and jewelers in Deer City to help her choose a gown and matching jewelry to wear. "Oh, so your husband bought it for you?" Xia Huan asked with a sneer. "So what if he did?" Ling Yiran said. "How dare you lie? Do you know how much these things costs? Or... are they knockoffs?" Xia Huan said. Those gathered around them now looked at Ling Yiran with disdain. After all, these aristocratic ladies and socialites disdained knockoffs the most. "So it's just to keep up appearances!" "What's wrong with this party today? Can any random person attend?" "This person is probably here looking for some opportunities to suck up to the wealthy." Everyone around them discussed. Xia Huan was so smug that she was just waiting for the woman to leave in disgrace.
