Chapter 2748: Getting the Marriage Certificate at the End of This Month
"Grandma, Dad, Mom, you’ve just decided my marriage like this?!" She asked in disbelief.
Grandma Li nodded. "Yes, it’s been decided!"
"You’re not joking?"
"Who’s joking with you!"
Li Mingxi felt like the world had turned fantastical. Just like that... she was being forced into marriage?
"You’re not going to ask for my opinion?"
Li Mother said coolly, "You can give a few opinions on the wedding decorations."
"..."
"As for whether you’re getting married or not, I don’t think a 35-year-old woman who’s never even been in a relationship has the right to comment." Li Mother said bluntly.
Li Mingxi instinctively wanted to refute that. Who said she’d never been in a relationship?!
It was short, but it was still a real relationship.
But she didn’t dare say it. If they got in touch with Xiao Lang, great, she’d have a second candidate for the groom.
No, if they contacted Xiao Lang, he’d go straight to the top of the list as candidate number one.
"It’s not like I said I wouldn’t get married... but at least let me find someone I actually like. Just give me a bit more time." Li Mingxi decided to keep using the stalling tactic.
Li Mother suddenly slapped the coffee table hard.
"How much time have we given you! Fifteen years ago, when you were 20, you said you’d get married after 25, and we went along with it.
Ten years ago you said there was no rush, you’d slowly look for someone and we should give you time, and you’ve just kept asking us for more time!
When you were 30, we were still giving you time. Now you’re already 35, how much more time do you want from us?!
Are we supposed to wait until you’re 50 before you finally find someone to marry?!"
"You’re really driving me mad. I regret it so much. If I’d known, I should’ve pointed a knife at you before you turned 25 and forced you to get married!"
Li Mother’s words stung Li Mingxi.
They also stung the other two people.
Li Father said in a deep voice, "Mingxi, you don’t have the right to speak on this. It’s settled. You must be married before you turn 35!"
Li Mingxi’s birthday was in September. Before 35—didn’t that mean there was only one month left?
Li Mother glanced at Li Father, a bit hesitant. "Isn’t that too rushed? What can you even prepare in a month?"
"The wedding can be later. We get the certificate first." Li Father said with great authority.
Grandma Li immediately nodded in agreement. "That’s a good idea, get the certificate first. We’ll get the certificate at the end of this month, and hold the wedding at the end of the year."
"Then I’ll go talk it over with Mrs. Li right now. Her son is 35 too. She’s probably just as anxious as we are, so I doubt she’ll object." Li Mother said.
Grandma Li laughed. "What’s there for them to object to? Our Mingxi is just a bit older, everything else is flawless. Even if you were finding her a man seven or eight years younger than her, she could still get one."
Li Mother looked over at Li Mingxi and smiled with satisfaction. "Exactly. My daughter—say what you will, she’s definitely A City’s number one beauty."
"She could be the number one beauty in the whole country." Grandma Li went even further with the praise.
Li Mingxi was covered in metaphorical black lines. You’re putting me way too high on a pedestal.
"I’ll go talk to Mrs. Li right now." Li Mother said with a happy smile, as if Mingxi’s marriage really had been settled.
Li Mingxi spoke helplessly. "Mom, don’t be so proactive. I haven’t agreed yet."
Li Mother glared at her. "We don’t need your agreement. We just need your cooperation."
"Grandma, Dad, Mom, let me be honest with you. I actually have absolutely no intention of getting married, so you really don’t need to waste your efforts." Li Mingxi said very seriously.
