Chapter 36: Who Did She Think Her Son Was

Chapter 36

The banquet hall for the Lan Family wedding was enormous, and Shi Li hadn't noticed her classmates.

Her classmates, on the other hand, were searching for Shi Li, hoping to sit closer to her so they could hear her thoughts more clearly.

They reported their locations to each other, trying to pinpoint Shi Li's position based on who could hear her most distinctly.

The classmate closest to Shi Li naturally took on the responsibility of providing real-time updates.

Shi Li sat in her seat, unaware that her classmates were seated not far behind her, and even more oblivious to the fact that her dear friend had already taken out a phone to record and broadcast her thoughts.

At that moment, Shi Li's attention was entirely focused on the groom's relative sitting to her left, alongside an older woman holding a boy around four or five years old.

The boy, sitting in the woman's lap, was not only noisy but also constantly fidgeting, his feet occasionally kicking Shi Li's dress.

A gray footprint suddenly appeared on Shi Li's white pants. Given the cold weather outside and the fact that they were attending someone's wedding, it wasn't appropriate to dress too extravagantly, so Shi Li was wearing relatively casual clothes.

Although these clothes looked casual, their price was anything but ordinary.

While it was irritating to be kicked by a child for no reason, Shi Li assumed it was an accident and decided not to make a fuss over a child's behavior.

However, when Shi Li looked over, the boy flashed a mischievous grin, and she realized he had done it on purpose. Vissit novelbin(.)c.om for updates

Don't assume that young children don't understand what they're doing.

In today's environment, kids know a lot more than you might think.

Not all children are angels; some are inherently mischievous.

Under normal circumstances, knowing the child had done it intentionally, Shi Li wouldn't have let it slide just because he was a kid.

But since they were attending someone's wedding, she didn't want to cause a scene.

Shi Li shot a glare at the boy, her expression management befitting her role as a villainous character.

The child was instantly frightened, and realizing his embarrassment, he immediately began to cry loudly to attract his family's attention.

The middle-aged woman holding the child was the little troublemaker's grandmother. She had been scrolling through short videos but was drawn by her grandson's cries.

She quickly put down her phone to comfort her precious grandson.

"Oh my, what's wrong, sweetie? Who upset grandma's big boy? Grandma will get revenge for you."

The grandmother always said this to console her grandson whenever he cried.

The boy had grown accustomed to using his tears to get his grandmother's attention and have her solve his problems.

Huang Jie smiled faintly and politely declined on her daughter's behalf. "My daughter is still young, just a high school student. It's too early for her to be in a relationship."

After Huang Jie turned around, the middle-aged woman realized they were mother and daughter. Seeing the obviously expensive jewelry Huang Jie was wearing, her expression became even more satisfied.

Shi Li was a student dressed modestly, though in high-end designer clothes. The older woman didn't recognize the brands but could tell they were expensive, even if she didn't know exactly how much they cost.

Mrs. Huang Jie was different. The extravagant jewelry around her neck was something even people without much knowledge could guess was extremely valuable.

The older woman instantly became even more pleased with her future daughter-in-law.

Huang Jie didn't understand her polite refusal and said carelessly, "What's the use of studying for a young girl? You'll all get married eventually. You might as well get married early. Back in our day, we married at sixteen or seventeen, and we've lived just fine without education."

Although the legal marriage age for women was twenty, some regions were like this: they would hold a wedding banquet and consider it a marriage. When the legal marriage age was reached, they would go to the civil affairs bureau to get the marriage certificate and register the children's household registration.

Shi Li looked at her mother in confusion: What did she mean?

Huang Jie was usually quite composed when dealing with people who couldn't understand reason.

People have different perceptions, and you can't expect everyone to be like you.

But when it came to her own daughter, this woman was clearly suggesting that her daughter drop out of school to get married and have children.

She must be dreaming.

At this moment, Shi Li belatedly realized that this woman wanted her to drop out of high school to become her daughter-in-law.

She inwardly exclaimed how absurd it was [It really refreshes one's perception, what is she thinking, wanting me to drop out of school to be her daughter-in-law]

[This world is too crazy]

Shi Li: ?? I don't quite understand. Asking Shi Li to drop out?

Asking their class's top student to drop out?

Hello? Is this the head teacher? Someone's trying to steal your competition student.

This wasn't just a matter of whether Shi Li's parents would agree. The teachers at school wouldn't agree in the first place. Our class's best student, a student who could be recommended for admission to the best university, you want her to drop out and get married?

May I ask what's so special about your son? What charm does he have?

Is he the son of the American president?

Or does he have diamonds embedded in his dick?

Why do we keep running into people these days who don't have a correct understanding of themselves? Has the wall of the suburban mental hospital collapsed, letting out so many mentally ill people who have no self-awareness?
