"Sister-in-law, I'm sorry, I made you worry."

"What nonsense are you talking about? What's there to worry about? Just live your own life." Xiang Shulan never expected Xia Xiaoli to repay her for her kindness.

Xia Xiaoli wiped away her tears and looked at Xiang Shulan, saying, "Sister-in-law, Battalion Commander Li Qingming was drugged by Wang Tiantian, which led to... an unexpected encounter with me."

After careful consideration, I decided it would be better to tell Xiang Shulan about this, so as not to worry her so much that she couldn't eat or sleep.

"What?" Xiang Shulan stared at Xia Xiaoli in surprise. "That bastard is Li Qingming?" Xiang Shulan's eyes were filled with shock and disbelief. "How dare he..."

"Sister-in-law, it was an accident. He was drugged, which is why we had sex. Now that I've agreed to marry him, I don't want you to worry." Xia Xiaoli was afraid that Xiang Shulan would be anxious and fearful because of this.

Given how good her brother and sister-in-law's family were to her, Xia Xiaoli decided to tell Xiang Shulan the truth.

Xiang Shulan was momentarily stunned, unsure whether to be angry or relieved, since at least Li Qingming was responsible for her, but she also felt sorry for Xia Xiaoli.

"Xiaoli? Such a beautiful youth, and she's about to get married!" Xiang Shulan was so heartbroken that she couldn't say anything more, she just held Xia Xiaoli in her arms and grieved.

After Xia Xiaoli told Xiang Shulan about this, Xiang Shulan was no longer worried and instead thought about how to arrange Xia Xiaoli's wedding.

Since things have come to this point, we can only try to accept it.

The next day, Xia Xiaoli went to work at the clinic as usual. Zhang Dali returned from the army and learned from Xiang Shulan that Xia Xiaoli had agreed to marry Li Qingming.

"I disagree!"

Zhang Dali stood up angrily.

Xiang Shulan frowned slightly, wanting him to lower his voice.

"Xiaoli is so beautiful and outstanding, how could she marry Li Qingming, who has been married before!" Zhang Dali was a rough man, but he was very good to his family. He just felt that Li Qingming was not good enough for Xia Xiaoli at all.

The more I think about it, the more upset I get.

Zhang Dali stood with his hands on his hips, extremely angry.

"No, I need to talk to Li Qingming and make things clear. Xiaoli absolutely cannot marry him." The image of Li Qingming's silent expression flashed through Zhang Dali's mind, which made him extremely angry.

"Zhang Dali, what are you doing?" Xiang Shulan's words made Zhang Dali stop in his tracks.

"My wife! Don't you know what kind of person Li Qingming is? He's been married before!" Although Zhang Dali sympathized with Li Qingming's previous misfortune, Li Qingming's ex-wife was Ye Feifei.

"Do you mind that Li Qingming has been married before, or do you mind that he married someone you could never marry in your entire life?" Xiang Shulan angrily questioned Zhang Dali.

"How did this get dragged into me? Li Qingming is not someone you can entrust your life to." Zhang Dali hurriedly ran his fingers through his hair to explain, "Letting Xiaoli marry him is like sending a lamb to the slaughter."

"Zhang Dali, don't worry about this. Xiaoli has already agreed, and the marriage application has been submitted!" Xiang Shulan knew that Xia Xiaoli was forced to marry Li Qingming, but Zhang Dali was too impulsive, so she absolutely couldn't tell him. Otherwise, given Zhang Dali's personality, he would definitely settle accounts with Li Qingming.

He wouldn't stop until he beat Li Qingming black and blue, which would give Li Qingming an opportunity to make a mistake.

If Xia Xiaoli really hit Li Qingming, she would never be able to hold her head high after marrying him, and this incident would definitely be remembered for the rest of her life.

“I am Xiaoli’s brother, and I disagree,” Zhang Dali reiterated his stance.

Xiang Shulan angrily questioned, "You're so loud! What if the Li family finds out? How will Xiaoli get along with her mother-in-law after she marries into the family? Xiaoli's happiness is her own choice. What good is your disagreement?"

Zhang Dali wanted to retort, but seeing his wife's expression, he knew that if he did, he wouldn't know how long it would take to coax her.

Helpless, Zhang Dali silently swallowed his disagreement.

Xiang Shulan stared at Zhang Dali. After he remained silent, Xiang Shulan tried to calm herself down and explained, "Zhang Dali, Aunt Zhang is a very good person. She's not some kind of wicked mother-in-law. You shouldn't interfere anymore."

Zhang Dali paced back and forth, glancing at Xiang Shulan, his stomach churning with suppressed anger.

He could only turn around and leave.

"You're not allowed to settle scores with them. Xiaoli agreed to this. If you go and confront them, you'll only embarrass Xiaoli," Xiang Shulan reminded Zhang Dali.

Zhang Dali, who stormed out of the family compound, was unable to do anything; he was extremely angry.

Liu Xinlan, who was having lunch at Shen Qiaoyue's house, happened to see Zhang Dali leave, and they heard Xiang Shulan's voice.

"What's all this noise about?" Liu Xinlan muttered curiously.

Chu Wanfang explained, "Li Qingming wants to marry Xia Xiaoli. He submitted the application last night. Zhang Dali has never liked Li Qingming, so he definitely won't agree to Li Qingming marrying Xia Xiaoli."

"It's strange, Xiaoli and Li Qingming haven't really spoken much, and suddenly they're getting married!" Qian Luoshui said curiously.

Liu Xinlan also found it very strange, saying that Xia Xiaoli never showed any romantic feelings or affection towards Li Qingming when they met, so why did she suddenly get married?

While eating, Chu Wanfang explained, "This is normal. It's just that we can't find a suitable one. Zhang Meizi is urging us a lot. Xiaoli is pretty and has a voluptuous figure. What man wouldn't like her!"

Liu Xinlan and Qian Luoshui exchanged a glance, their gazes falling on each other's front, and they couldn't help but laugh out loud!
