Officialdom: The beautiful leader took me to the top

Li Zhihua nodded and didn't make things difficult for Song Ci. "I already guessed it. I asked Xiao Dong yesterday, and he confirmed it himself."

"Don't worry, this is your personal privacy and a matter of your relationship with Xiaodong."

"I will not tell anyone, including Li Dong's parents, without your consent."

"As for the details, I will keep it a secret for you. I already promised Xiaodong yesterday, so don't feel any pressure, and you don't need to be nervous in front of me."

"Just treat it as usual. I am Li Dong's aunt, and I am also your aunt."

"You must always believe that no matter what happens, I will always stand by you and Xiaodong, and I will be the first to stand up and protect you!"

Song Ci's eyes instantly reddened. She had been worried that her aunt would make things difficult for her because of Li's father's hospitalization.

But she never expected that her aunt would be so understanding.

Thinking of this, Song Ci's voice choked with emotion, "Auntie, thank you. I apologize on behalf of my mother... What she did yesterday was truly excessive..."

After saying this, Song Ci lowered her head deeply.

That's because my aunt is so open-minded; if it were someone else...

This incident alone will make him lose face in the Li family!

Li Zhihua waved his hand, "No need to thank me. You are you, and your mother is your mother. I can still tell right from wrong very clearly."

“I already told Xiaodong yesterday not to feel pressured, this has nothing to do with you.”

“I can also see that you are doing your best to handle this, and that you don’t want this to happen more than anyone else.”

"Even if someone were to apologize, it wouldn't be your turn; it should be your mother who apologizes."

"And don't worry, although your mother was wrong in this matter, I will definitely not hold you responsible."

"I know who I should confide in."

"However... if I have a conflict with your mother, I'm afraid you'll be caught in the middle and it will be difficult to handle..."

"But I can't ignore this matter."

"After all, your mother really went too far this time. Even if she really opposed you and Xiaodong being together, there are many ways to handle this. She shouldn't have come to the Li family and made a scene, and she shouldn't have verbally provoked Li Dong's father."

"Even for your sake, and for Niannian's sake, she could have chosen a gentler approach to handle this."

"But she chose the most radical way!"

"That's because Li Dong's father was lucky and nothing bad happened to him."

"Otherwise, even if I don't pursue the matter, you will definitely feel guilty for the rest of your life."

"I really don't know how your relationship with Xiaodong will develop in the future."

"That is precisely why our Li family must make a statement on this matter!"

"If you don't give an explanation, your mother will definitely cross the line again in the future!"

Song Ci took a breath. She had felt guilty in front of Li Zhihua and didn't know how to face him.

Unexpectedly, Li Zhihua's reply put her mind at ease.

Song Ci said earnestly, "Auntie, thank you for your understanding."

"As you said, this was not my intention."

“I don’t have much contact with my mother. She divorced my father when I was young and went abroad. She hasn’t come back all these years.”

"I have no memory of her anymore."

"We've had occasional contact over the past few years, mostly through phone calls and emails."

"She only recently returned to China."

"Actually, I've spent less time with her than with you."

“Aunt, since you’ve brought this up, I’ll just say what I’m saying.”

"Although Li Ying is my biological mother, no one can make decisions about my love life for me."

"Whether it's my mother or my father."

"I take their support as a blessing to me."

“If they are unwilling to support me, I will never force them.”

"Whether they support me or not, my answer is only one: it's my own relationship issue, and I will make my own decision!"

"Li Dong is the man I, Song Ci, have ever truly accepted in my life. I can't accept anyone else besides him."

"So please rest assured, Aunt, no one can separate us, and I will not let anyone's emotions sway me."

"There are definitely obstacles between Li Dong and me, but neither of us will back down easily."

"Unless the Li family disowns me as their daughter-in-law, I will absolutely not abandon Li Dong!"

"As for my mother causing trouble at the hospital this time, I was unaware of it beforehand and warned her many times."

"Unfortunately, my relationship with my daughter is not good. In addition, we haven't had much contact over the years, so she doesn't know my temper or my bottom line. That's why she did these outrageous things."

“After the incident yesterday, I had a serious discussion with her and made my position clear.”

“I am married to Li Dong, so Li Dong’s father is my father, and Li’s family members are my family members.”

“What she did yesterday not only deeply hurt me, but also hurt everyone who loves me.”

“I will never let her do the same thing again, otherwise I will have no face to be the daughter-in-law of the Li family!”

Hearing this, Li Zhihua felt even more sorry for Song Ci.

Although Song Ci didn't say anything specific, she could sense that after yesterday's incident, there must have been a conflict between Song Ci and Li Ying, and it must have been a very intense clash.

Moreover, Song Ci's attitude was very firm, and she also made her stance clear to her mother.

For a girl to be able to do things to this extent is already very rare.

If we continue to pressure her to make a statement, it would seem rather unreasonable!

How could anyone not like a girl who is so clear about her likes and dislikes?

The scales in Li Zhihua's heart also began to sway.

She was even somewhat afraid of the truth she had guessed. If her guess really came true, what would she do then?

Most importantly, even if she can accept this outcome.

Will Li Dong's parents accept this absurd answer?

Based on her understanding of her elder brother and sister-in-law, it's unlikely.

My older brother is a rather conservative person, and my sister-in-law also values ​​the continuation of the bloodline.

If the speculation comes true, it seems that no matter how outstanding Song Ci is, it will be impossible to shake the eldest brother's deep-rooted beliefs.

Now we can only hope that everything she's worrying about is just her overthinking.

The truth of the matter is definitely not as complicated as she thought.

Otherwise, she would really be worried for Li Dong and Song Ci.

Even if she didn't step in to break up the couple, the Li family certainly wouldn't agree easily!

Of course, the most urgent task at hand is to properly handle the matter of Li Ying.

If this matter isn't handled properly, everything else is just empty talk!
