"Yes, I just wanted to let you know. My aunt didn't know about this situation back then."
"It's alright, Auntie. Look, we're family, why be so formal? Alright, if that's all, let's not talk about it anymore. I'm eating." Li Xiuyuan said directly, not wanting to get too caught up in these family matters.
Everyone has limited energy. If you spend too much time on one thing, it will inevitably take up some of your energy on other things.
"Okay, take care of yourself while you're busy with work."
In a private room at Wang Yi's restaurant in the county, Li Simin hung up the phone and looked at her friend He Meili.
"Did you hear that? It's nothing, it's not a big deal. Xiu Yuan already knew about this, there's no need to call and explain it separately."
This morning, He Meili invited her over for lunch. After she arrived, He Meili brought up the matter during the meal, which surprised Li Simin. However, since Li Xiuyuan already knew about Wang Yi's situation, Wang Yi explained it clearly right away.
Actually, there's nothing wrong with it. Wang Yi wasn't hiding it from Li Xiuyuan. Having a boyfriend in another city while also dating a blind date would be a bit egregious.
However, He Meili insisted that she make a phone call, so Li Simin made the call.
"Oh, Simin, Xiaoyi is such a jerk. I really didn't expect her to do something like this. I'm so ashamed to face you." He Meili, being a businesswoman, was quite shrewd.
Having Li Simin make this call served two purposes: firstly, to establish an image of high moral character and willingness to admit mistakes in Li Xiuyuan's mind; and secondly, to inform Li Xiuyuan that Wang Yi had broken up with her boyfriend and was now single.
"Meili, look at what you're saying, it's not that serious. Children are free to date, we won't interfere." Li Simin wasn't completely stupid, although she said she wasn't very cunning.
But the fact that the Li family produced a deputy town mayor is incredibly lucky. They originally thought their nephew and Wang Yi were a good match because Wang Yi is an only child and her family is well-off.
Now that my nephew is the deputy mayor, things are different. He can't find anyone good, and he's no longer a good match for Wang Yi.
Therefore, this kind of talk naturally leans towards freedom of love.
"Yes, love is a matter of personal freedom, but we elders still have to keep an eye on things. Look how good my judgment was back then, arranging for Xiaoyi to go on a blind date with Xiuyuan. What a great match I found for her! But look what happened, she insisted on staying with that long-distance boyfriend. And look what happened to her."
He Meili said with a bitter expression.
Li Simin subconsciously comforted her, "Meili, don't worry. Xiaoyi is a tenured teacher now. With your family's financial situation, you'll definitely find someone better in the future."
"Old Wang and I only have one daughter, Xiaoyi. We really cherished her since she was little. Actually, we thought that when Xiaoyi got married, we would not ask for any dowry, but would give her a house, a car, and a dowry of 300,000 yuan, just to make her live a better life. Besides, everything in the house will belong to Xiaoyi in the future, right?"
"Our restaurant and my own hair salon, all the money we make goes to Xiaoyi, right? But Xiaoyi just wouldn't listen to us. Now she understands, but it's too late..."
