Chapter 127 - A Female Forensic Doctor Transmigrates into a Book as the Female Supporting Character

127 Rumor Mongering

Yin Tao was contemplating how to avoid contact with the protagonists when Le Yuan’s voice came from behind.

“Feng Jing, why don’t you go over? Xi Feng just spoke about you.”

...

Le Yuan was wearing a white lace fishtail dress. She looked gentle and elegant, which suited her style very well.

“You’re here too, Dr. Yin.” Le Yuan was a little stunned when she first saw Yin Tao. She didn’t expect a little girl who looked like an underaged girl to dress up so beautifully.

“I was wondering why Feng Jing would take such good care of you. So it’s because of Brother Lin Jia.” Le Yuan sized up Yin Tao. When she saw the ruby necklace around Yin Tao’s neck, the smile in her eyes became even more obvious.

“I heard that Brother Lin Jia brought his girlfriend home. I didn’t believe it at first, but I didn’t expect you to be engaged so soon.”

Yin Tao didn’t know how to respond to what Le Yuan said. She had only accompanied Lin Jia to meet Grandpa Lin. How rumors suddenly go round that she was getting engaged to Lin Jia?

“I…” Yin Tao didn’t know how to defend herself. She couldn’t well say that she was acting with Brother Lin Jia.

“Don’t spout nonsense. If Lin Jia was really engaged, would she not inform you?” Feng Jing looked at Yin Tao’s uneasy expression and explained.

“I’m not spouting nonsense. Dr. Yin is wearing the necklace that Brother Lin Jia prepared for his future wife. Didn’t we all know about it at the auction? Although it was a joke at that time, why would ordinary friends give such an expensive gift?”

“I… I’m going to the washroom.” Yin Tao was completely shocked by Le Yuan’s words. She could tell that the necklace that Lin Jia gave her was very valuable, but she never thought that it would carry such a meaning.

She ran to the washroom as if she was escaping. Yin Tao looked at her overly grand reflection in the mirror and slapped her face hard.

“Who’s spouting nonsense!” Yin Tao gritted her teeth, wishing she could catch the person who spread the rumors and teach him a lesson.

“The two of us are really fated to meet, even in the washroom.” As soon as Zhang Rui walked out of the cubicle in the washroom, she saw Yin Tao in front of the mirror.

Yin Tao was still depressed about the rumors between her and Brother Lin Jia, so she couldn’t be bothered with Zhang Rui and could only force a smile.

“Let’s exchange contact details.” Zhang Rui felt that Yin Tao’s personality was very similar to hers, so she wanted to socialize more with her.

Out of courtesy, Yin Tao didn’t reject Zhang Rui’s request. She took out her phone and exchanged contact details with her.

“Yin Tao?” Zhang Rui saw Yin Tao enter her full name in the name column and asked in surprise, “You’re not Yin Ning’s older sister, are you?”

Yin Tao was also very surprised. She had never heard Yin Ning mention Zhang Rui, nor did she think that they would know each other. “You two know each other?”

“What a coincidence. Although I don’t know your sister, I’ve heard a little about her.” A disdainful smile appeared on Zhang Rui’s lips. Clearly, her relationship with Yin Ning wasn’t very good.

“Could it be that Yin Ning has offended you before?” Yin Tao was very good at observing people. Zhang Rui was a straightforward person to begin with, and her emotions were written all over her face. Yin Tao preferred to be upfront with her.

“Why? As her elder sister, do you still want to stand up for your younger sister?” Zhang Rui probed Yin Tao. She didn’t want to lose the chance to befriend Yin Tao because of Yin Ning.

“You’re overthinking it. Sisters don’t necessarily get along that well.” Yin Tao smiled bitterly at Zhang Rui and said, “Do you think Yin Ning and I are very similar?”

Zhang Rui shook her head without thinking. If it weren’t for the fact that the Yin surname was rare and the names of these two sisters were similar, she wouldn’t have connected the two of them.

“Although you’re the older sister, you’re much more likable than Yin Ning.” Zhang Rui shrugged and said bluntly, “That younger sister of yours is always so haughty. Who can’t tell what she’s thinking? Why does she need to be so pretentious?”

Yin Tao’s heart suddenly surged with the excitement of meeting a soulmate. As the female protagonist, Yin Ning was good in all aspects, but Yin Tao really couldn’t accept her pretentious attitude.

Moreover, due to her profession as a forensic doctor, Yin Tao was not afraid of being dirty or tired, nor was she afraid of suffering. She was simply the polar opposite of a pretentious bitch like Yin Ning.

Zhang Rui also noticed the change in Yin Tao’s mood. She smiled and grabbed Yin Tao’s arm. “I just felt that we got along well. To be honest, the reason why I know Yin Ning is because my ex-boyfriend is wooing her now.”

Yin Tao widened her eyes in surprise. Hasn’t Xi Feng always been single in the novel? How did an ex-girlfriend like Zhang Rui appear?
