Chapter 843 - 840: The County Magistrate’s Wife (Part 9)
"She’s a university lecturer, talented and beautiful, her family owns three large apartments, all in prime locations... they are very pleased with Li Zhen’s credentials and said they can meet anytime..."
"Yes, her parents are very satisfied with Li Zhen. Oh, and her parents have good backgrounds too, her father works for customs, her mother at the tax bureau. Their family wealth goes without saying, and just from their future pensions, it could be twenty thousand or so; their children won’t have any burden..."
"Aunt Huang, thank you for your kind intentions, but I think Li Zhen definitely isn’t interested in going on blind dates."
Aunt Huang coughed a few times, looking at Li Shanni.
Li Shanni braced herself: "Auntie... what my aunt means is..."
"Means what?"
Aunt Huang was straightforward: "Teacher Yang, we’re relatives after all, and there are some things I want to say to you. Please don’t get mad."
"It’s okay, go ahead."
"You know that Yan Xixi has infertility, right?"
"..."
Aunt Huang’s sister quickly added: "Yes, yes, Yan Xixi really can’t have children..."
Teacher Yang was a bit surprised: "How do you know she’s sick? And besides, what does it have to do with us if she’s sick?"
Aunt Huang smiled: "Teacher Yang, you saying this puts me at ease. After all, since we’re relatives, aren’t we worried about Li Zhen? After all, the Li Family has only one son, and he’s a Cambridge Doctor. He’s a source of pride for the relatives. If he picks the wrong partner, wouldn’t such a promising young man ruin his whole life?"
"Luckily, my son broke up with her. Xiaojue is our family’s only son for three generations. If I hadn’t seen the situation early and he really married that woman, I’d be the eternal sinner of the Huang Family..."
Auntie also said: "Yes, my sister is just well-intentioned. That Yan Xixi, not to be harsh, but aside from being pretty, she has nothing to offer and her character is terrible. She was earlier kept by Wan Donglin, but as soon as he found out she couldn’t have children, he immediately dumped her. This vixen then quickly hooked up with Li Zhen. Isn’t that wasting a good young man like Li Zhen?"
Li Shanni, noticing her brash words, gave a gentle cough.
She remained indifferent: "We’re just thinking about your brother’s best interest. Do you want your brother to end up with a hen that can’t lay eggs?"
Teacher Yang smiled: "Both of you are overthinking it."
"..."
She continued thoughtfully: "As for Yan Xixi’s character, we’re outsiders and it’s not appropriate for us to judge, nor should we. My son likes her, I know it... who can explain why the young man is so obsessed with her?"
"..."
"It’s not that we’re being picky about her; it’s just that she might not even be interested in our son."
The Huang sisters exchanged glances.
"To be honest, Li Zhen went to see her off today."
"..."
Aunt Huang forced a smile: "But, about Yan Xixi’s illness..."
Teacher Yang suddenly asked: "Do you know how old I am this year?"
Why ask about age all of a sudden?
Teacher Yang was well-preserved, well-dressed, graceful, and with good skin, appeared to be in her forties.
Aunt Huang, puzzled: "Isn’t Teacher Yang around forty-something?"
Li Shanni laughed: "Auntie, you’re fifty-eight this year, right?"
Teacher Yang smiled and said: "Fifty-nine, I’m just a year apart from Li Zhen’s father."
The Huang sisters immediately praised: "You really don’t look it, just early forties."
"You’ve really taken good care of yourself."
