Xiao Lin loved to scheme. From education to marriage to having children, everything was part of her calculations. But for her two children, she truly loved them. She wouldn't even bother to say a harsh word to them, let alone plotting a marriage.
Others might not understand what Li Xi said, but how could she, the person involved, not understand? This was a satire on her selling her daughter! Could she accept this? She couldn't accept this!
"Xingming is still young, don't worry."
"Still young?" Li Xi stared at Xiao Lin with her wide, innocent eyes, "How old is Xingming this year?"
"20." Xiao Lin didn't realize anything was wrong.
"Oh~ 20~" Li Xi once again displayed her special talent for sarcasm, making the "oh" sound intricate and convoluted. "I'm 20 this year too! Didn't my aunt also arrange a marriage for me? Xingming is already 20, you have to hurry up!" The words "you have to hurry up" were said with such earnestness and sincerity that anyone who heard it sighed and cried.
Xiao Lin's expression froze again, and then she slowly let go of Li Xi's hand and smiled awkwardly, "Xing Ming's matter is not urgent, I'm watching over it."
Li Xi finally took her hand back and tried to put it in her pocket, but felt uncomfortable. She asked the servant next to her to prepare a hot towel. While waiting, she continued to stab.
"Then, Auntie, remember to ask Xingming what kind of person she likes before you propose to her. Don't take advantage of the other party and make a final decision without considering Xingming's feelings. If you do, Xingming will blame you and say you are selling her daughter."
Before Xiao Lin even spoke, Luo Xingming couldn't sit still anymore. Of course, she wasn't sitting down at this moment. When Luo Jingxuan had chosen a seat, he had deliberately chosen one far away from people. There was no other place to sit besides the sofa where they were sitting.
The sofa was occupied by Li Xi, Luo Jingxuan, and Luo Ren and his wife, so there was no room for them. The elders didn't let them leave, so Luo Jingting and Luo Xingming could only stand by and listen to their conversation.
Luo Xingming was originally daydreaming, but when he heard Li Xi and the others talking about him and his marriage, he immediately became alert. He never expected to hear such a thing, and he was almost furious.
"Mom, you're not really thinking of helping me find one, are you? I'm putting this out there, I don't want to arrange marriages!"
"I don't want an arranged marriage either." Before Xiao Lin could comfort him, Luo Jingting, who had been watching the show for a long time, spoke up.
Li Xi calmly watched the fun and didn't mind adding fuel to the fire. "Eh? Does my cousin have a girlfriend? My aunt is such a matchmaker, why didn't she help my cousin find a wife or something?"
Li Xi naturally said this on purpose. In addition to being a matchmaker, "Little Wife" also hits Luo Jingting's sore spot.
To act as a matchmaker for him and to find him a "little wife" is to slap him in the face.
But this incident happened to a member of the Luo family, and this person was a member of the Luo family, so she could only judge the matter based on the individual. She attacked the Luo family members indiscriminately except for Grandpa Luo.
Seeing her two children's expressions change, Xiao Lin was in no mood to be hypocritical with Li Xi. "Don't worry, Mom won't let you get married. Marriage is a lifelong thing, so of course you have to find someone you like. You..."
"Oh~ When you get married, you should find someone you love. Then how could Auntie be a matchmaker for me? You and my dad were so aggressive, but Luo Jingxuan and I got married before we even met. Why are you saying different things? Auntie, have you forgotten what you said and did before? How can you be so forgetful?" Li Xi said this, as if she thought of something. She slapped her thigh and raised her voice, "You are so young, and you have Alzheimer's? Auntie, you are so pitiful."
Li Xi not only said this, but also pretended to wipe away her non-existent tears and started to sob. Sobbing was not enough, she turned around and hugged Luo Jingxuan's arm, buried her head in his neck, and sobbed, "Husband, what should I do? My aunt has Alzheimer's disease. She is so young, and she has dementia. How can my uncle, cousin, and cousin live? Sob."
Luo Jingxuan had been half-heartedly trying to keep Luo Ren company. Although he'd given Li Xi a half-ear, he didn't quite understand what they were saying. He'd just heard Li Xi's occasional "Oh!"s and guessed she was up to something. He hadn't expected her to replicate the performance she'd given at the Li family's house a few days earlier at the Luo family's.
This time, when Li Xi held his hand, he didn't feel anything. But who could tell him, if she could just hold him, why did she bury her head against his neck? Li Xi's little mouth opened and closed, whimpering for a long time, but Luo Jingxuan didn't hear anything, only feeling her breath spraying on his neck, which was very itchy.
"What's going on?" Luo Jingxuan finally spoke, his voice a little hoarse.
"Aunt has Alzheimer's!" Li Xi turned her head away from Luo Jingxuan, looked at Luo Jingxuan and said loudly.
In an instant, you could hear a pin drop in the hall.
All the aunts and uncles, and even the naughty kids who were just laughing and playing, looked over.
Xiao Lin blushed at the look and coughed awkwardly, "How can this child talk like that? Auntie is fine." Then she turned to the others and said, "It's okay, you guys continue, continue."
Li Xi blinked her innocent eyes and wiped away her nonexistent tears. "But what Auntie said is inconsistent and contradictory. I was surprised that she forgot what she said in such a short while. Did I misunderstand? What a sin!"
Luo Jingxuan probably knew what was going on. He gave Li Xi a light hug and said softly, "Tonight's birthday banquet was prepared by my aunt. She might have been too busy and her mind was not turning for a while, so her words were incoherent. As a junior, you have to understand."
"Oh, so that's how it is. My aunt is really hard-working. She has to be a matchmaker and organize birthday parties. She also has to worry about her children's relationships. She is really a busy person. Hehehe." Li Xi immediately climbed up the pole.
