Li Mingxi glanced at his aunt-in-law and saw the eager expression on her face. It was not easy for him to refuse directly. After careful consideration, he spoke slowly.
"Aunt, what I said is true. I still have to study and I really don't have the time to think about this!"
Wang Xiuzhi was still unwilling to give up and spoke again.
"Xiao Xi, think about it again. My nephew is very good, really!"
Seeing his aunt's anxious expression, Li Mingxi felt helpless and opened his mouth to speak.
As a result, before Li Mingxi could speak this time, Liu Zhaodi was already making sarcastic remarks.
"Sister-in-law, if you ask me, Xiaoxi doesn't want to do it, so you should stop talking. Seeing your eagerness, I thought there was something wrong with your nephew. Otherwise, why are you so persistent and keep speaking well of him?"
When Zhang Xiuzhi heard this, she glared at her fiercely, then turned to Li Mingxi and spoke with a smile.
"Xiao Xi, don't listen to your third aunt. I really think you and my nephew are a perfect match. I'm afraid you'll miss out and never have anything good to offer in the future! That's why I can't wait to tell you. I have no other intentions.
When Liu Zhaodi heard this, she couldn't help but interrupt, "Sister-in-law, stop pretending. You think people don't know what you're thinking. I think you just want to take advantage of the fourth brother because he's capable and can make money. Who doesn't know your little tricks?"
When Zhang Xiuzhi heard her say this, she glared at her fiercely.
Seeing her expression that looked like she wanted to slap her a few times, Liu Zhaodi didn't care much.
"Sister-in-law, you don't have to look at me like that. You're so good at pretending that everyone thinks you're a good person. But in reality, you know exactly what kind of person you are!"
At this point, she tutted her tongue twice, "You're really good at pretending, sister-in-law. Over the years, how many people have you deceived?"
"Let's not talk about anything else. Right now, you say you're doing this for the good of the two children, but who knows what you're really planning? Let me see, your family has given you a lot of benefits, right?"
Zhang Xiuzhi was choked for a moment and didn't know how to respond. She looked at Li Mingxi and her fourth brother's wife and saw that they were looking at her with suspicion. At that moment, she didn't know how to explain herself.
Seeing Zhang Xiuzhi's dazed expression, Liu Zhaodi became even more arrogant. She turned to Li Ming and said, "See, I told you she had ulterior motives. If she didn't have those thoughts, why didn't she explain herself?"
Just as Liu Zhaodi said, Zhang Xiuzhi did have her own little thoughts, and she had never thought about this before.
So, in the past two years, seeing that Li Mingxi had grown beautiful, and her nephew from her mother's side was the same age as her and had no partner, she had an idea in her mind.
It happened that she went back to her mother's house two days ago, and her mother asked her to help find a partner for her nephew!
At that time, she thought of her niece. The two of them were of the same age, both wanted to go to college, and were both educated people. Isn't this a perfect match? Even if the college entrance examination was not reinstated, they were both educated people. Being together was better than being with ordinary people!
Thinking this in her heart, she spoke,
"Xiao Xi, Fourth Sister-in-law, don't listen to Liu Zhaodi. I don't have any selfish motives, I just think the two children are a perfect match!"
Seeing her sister-in-law's frank look, Zhang Huilan couldn't bear it and subconsciously wanted to forgive her. In fact, it didn't matter if her daughter couldn't find a partner. Her sister-in-law was doing this for Xiaoxi's own good.
Li Mingxi watched the few people silently from the side without saying a word. When she saw her mother's expression, she knew what her mother was going to say, so she stopped her before she opened her mouth.
"Aunt, I know you mean well, but I really don't have any intention of finding a partner. Besides, I'm still young, so there's no rush. Brother Simao and the others don't have any partners either, so I'm even less anxious!"
It was obvious that Li Mingxi was deliberately changing the subject in order to leave some face for both of them.
Zhang Xiuzhi didn't think so. When she heard Li Mingxi say this, she panicked!
"Xiao Xi, you're young and don't understand yet. The most important years for a girl are these few years. Auntie knows you're pretty, but you said, if you don't take advantage of this good time to find a good one, where will you find one when you grow up?"
Having said that, she spoke again earnestly.
"Besides, Auntie, how could I lie to you? You'll know once you see my nephew from my grandmother's family. I guarantee you'll be satisfied then!"
Seeing that his aunt kept pestering him, Li Mingxi was really annoyed. He had already said so much, and his aunt still couldn't understand what he said?
Did he not understand? Or was he pretending? Li Mingxi didn't want to think about it. After what had just happened, she felt so exhausted!
Looking at Zhang Huilan, she spoke directly.
"Mom, I have nothing to do here, so I'm going to the main room!"
Seeing her daughter's tired face, Zhang Huilan nodded.
Zhang Xiuzhi didn't want to give up easily. In her opinion, there was no girl more suitable for her nephew. So, when she saw Li Mingxi getting up to walk out, she quickly reached out to stop her.
"Xiao Xi, don't be anxious. You haven't given an answer to what your aunt just said. Why don't you give a definite answer?"
I was about to leave, but my aunt-in-law actually tried to stop me. She did it on purpose!
After realizing this, Li Mingxi's expression changed immediately. He frowned slightly and looked at Zhang Xiuzhi with an unhappy face.
"Aunt, what do you mean? Didn't I just say it? I'm not considering this matter now. I just don't want to consider it. What do you mean by not letting me go?"
Seeing that her daughter looked unhappy, Zhang Huilan immediately started to persuade her.
"That's right, sister-in-law. If you see the child doesn't want to, forget it. If your nephew really wants to find someone, you can let him find another one. I think we have a lot of good girls here. You don't have to keep clinging to Xiaoxi, right? Besides, we don't know if these two are suitable for each other!"
Zhang Xiuzhi was already feeling impatient because her little niece didn't want to see her nephew from her mother's side. She felt that she was the daughter-in-law of the eldest son's family and always considered herself superior. Now, when she heard her fourth brother's wife say this, she felt that her dignity was trampled upon.
So she spoke directly.
"We haven't even met each other, how do you know it's inappropriate?"
Liu Zhaodi glanced at Zhang Xiuzhi with disdain. What she couldn't stand the most was her sister-in-law. You might say she was a good person, but the first thing she thought of when encountering something was her own family.
Seeing her aggressive look, she said sarcastically, "Hey, sister-in-law, tell me, why are you doing this? It's not like we haven't seen your nephew from your mother's side before. I remember he came to our house before!"
"You don't look like someone who can't find a partner. Since Xiaoxi doesn't want to, just look for someone else. Why do you always force Xiaoxi to do something?"
