Grandma Li was stunned, and so were Father Li and Mother Li. They all looked at her in shock.
Li Mingxi lowered her eyes and said guiltily, "I’m not lying to you, I’m telling the truth."
"Mingxi, why don’t you want to get married?" Grandma Li asked cautiously.
"Grandma, I just don’t want to get married. Isn’t living alone a good thing?"
"How can a girl not get married? We’ve always respected your choice, but that doesn’t mean we support you not getting married."
Li Mingxi said with difficulty, "Grandma, could you please continue to respect me? I really don’t want to get married."
"You..." Grandma Li suddenly clutched her chest and fainted on the sofa.
"Grandma!"
"Mom—"
Mother Li and the others rushed up to help Grandma Li.
"Grandma, are you okay?" Li Mingxi asked anxiously, reaching for Grandma Li’s hand to check her pulse.
Grandma Li shook her off and said to Mother Li, "Help me to my room to rest..."
"Mom, you should go to the hospital now."
"I’m fine, just help me to rest!" Grandma Li said sharply.
Mother Li and the others had no choice but to help her back to her room.
Li Mingxi followed, wanting to help, but Grandma Li’s attitude toward her was cold, refusing to let her near.
Li Mingxi felt deeply pained, knowing she had hurt her grandmother’s heart.
After Grandma Li lay down, Li Mingxi quickly fetched the household medical kit.
"Grandma, let me take your blood pressure."
"No need."
"Grandma, I was wrong, but don’t joke with your health," Li Mingxi said sadly.
Mother Li and the others also tried to persuade her.
Grandma Li looked at Li Mingxi and patted the spot beside her, "Sit down."
Li Mingxi hurriedly sat down.
Grandma Li looked at her and weakly asked, "Mingxi, how do you think Grandma treats you?"
Li Mingxi held her hand and whispered, "Grandma treats me very well, very well."
"Because you are the only girl, Grandma treats you even better than Mingchen and Tianling. No matter what you do, Grandma supports you, but only in this matter, you must listen to me."
"Grandma..."
"You don’t need to argue. I know you’re upset, but how can a woman not get married? You’re 35 now, do you think you’re still young? But how many more years can you be young? In 15 years, you’ll be 50, and by then, you’ll be quite old. By the time you’re 50, you’ll surely regret your current immaturity."
"Grandma, I won’t regret it..."
Grandma Li angrily slapped her arm.
"I don’t care if you regret it or not, you must get married. If you don’t get married, I’ll just die. I’m already 80 years old, and my only wish is to see you married. If you want me to die with regrets, then go ahead."
Li Mingxi widened her eyes, "Grandma, don’t force me like this."
"You’re the one forcing us! That’s it, leave. Seeing you makes my heart ache. I’ll give you two days to consider; if you refuse, Grandma will go underground to find your grandfather."
"Grandma!" Li Mingxi was deeply shocked.
It felt like a dream.
The grandmother who loved her most, how could she threaten her with death?
Mother Li pulled Li Mingxi up, "Go out and let your grandma rest well."
"Mom..."
Li Mingxi was pushed out by Mother Li, watching her mother’s distressed appearance, Mother Li also hardened her heart and said, "Mingxi, your grandma is right, this time Dad and Mom won’t indulge you anymore."
