Chapter 2750: I Don’t Hate You

"Mom, why are you doing this to me?""We’re doing this for your own good."

"If it’s truly for my good, shouldn’t you respect me?"

Li’s mother replied coldly, "Respecting you would be harming you! We respected you too much, which is why you became an old maid."

"Even if I don’t get married, it’s the same..."

"Shut up! We gave birth to you, raised you, and gave you the best, is it because we want to see you end up alone? If you still care about us, you’ll listen to us. Mingxi, your grandma is eighty, your dad and I are almost sixty, we’re getting old, we could leave you at any time, so we need to entrust you to someone else while we’re still alive..."

At this point, Li’s mother couldn’t help but cry.

Li Mingxi’s eyes turned red, "Mom, don’t cry."

"I’ll go take care of your grandma, you think it over." Li’s mother wiped her tears and turned to the bedroom.

Then Li’s father came out, looked at Li Mingxi, and sighed, "Let’s have a chat."

Li Mingxi had no choice but to follow her father to the living room and sit on the sofa.

"Mingxi, don’t blame us, we’re doing this for your sake."

"Dad, I know."

"I’m not such an old-fashioned person, we aren’t forcing you to marry Li Qian. If you have someone suitable, that’s the best. We don’t care about his family background, as long as he treats you well and has a good character, that’s enough. I’ll give you a month. If you find someone suitable, get married, if not, then the wedding with Li Qian goes through."

After saying that, Li’s father got up and left, leaving Li Mingxi sitting there alone.

The whole family is pressuring her, is she left with no way out?

Li Mingxi knew, she could run away from home, she could confront them firmly.

But the result would be, this harmonious family would no longer feel like home because of her.

Grandma was so old and could leave them at any time; she couldn’t let grandma leave with regret and sadness.

Her parents were both sixty, still worrying about her. She shouldn’t let them down.

She understood everything completely.

If she could, she would’ve married long ago, she wouldn’t have waited until now.

But... what qualifications did she have to marry someone else...

That would only harm another person...

Not marrying, should she try to persuade them to accept the fact that she’s not getting married?

Obviously, that was impossible, she could never convince them.

Unless she gave them a real reason.

But giving the real reason might just destroy this family.

So, she was caught in a dilemma...

...

Li Mingxi shut herself in her room, thinking for a whole day.

At night, she didn’t sleep much.

The next day, she looked somewhat haggard, but Grandma Li, Li’s father, and mother looked even more haggard than she did.

Seeing them like this made Li Mingxi even sadder.

During breakfast, Grandma Li asked her, "Have you thought it over?"

Li Mingxi gripped her chopsticks tightly, "Grandma, is it really necessary?"

"Yes. We have no choice but to push you down this path. If you want to hate someone later, hate me, not your parents."

"Grandma, I don’t hate you guys..."

"Whether you hate us or not, I’ll be the villain here."

Li’s mother also chose to be the villain, "I contacted Mrs. Li yesterday. She said you and Li Qian should meet this afternoon, the time and place are already set, so go."

"If you don’t go, then don’t come back to this house anymore," Grandma added flatly.
