Damn! If she didn't show up soon, Ming Li felt like Mother An would completely mortify her on the spot.
Mother An looked at Ming Li walking in, followed by An Li, and gestured with her eyes towards An Yu Chu.
Mother An met An Yu Chu's gaze and began exchanging silent communication.
Mother An: Daughter, see? It's this young boy. Read Books Now.
An Yu Chu: No way! Mom! How could my sister like this type of boy?
Mother An: How is it impossible? Look how handsome this boy is! He's just a bit too fair, sigh! If only he were a bit darker.
An Yu Chu: What about Xiao Li and Jiang Yan's engagement? I thought Jiang Yan quite liked Xiao Li before.
Mother An: We'll break it off, what else can we do? Xiao Li doesn't like him, and a forced marriage won't be sweet. I'm sure Xiao Yan will understand.
An Yu Chu: That actually makes a lot of sense.
Father An, standing nearby: ...Sighed, shook his head. Women's minds are truly hard to guess.
Ming Li, who had seen through the thoughts of An Yu Chu and Mother An at a glance: ...Her mouth twitched uncontrollably. What kind of once-in-a-century eccentric mother and daughter were these? This original host's mom and sister must be toxic.
An Li had no idea what was happening. He followed what the system taught him.
He stepped forward, bowed to Father An and Mother An, and said in a stiff tone, "Mom, Dad... Big Sister, hello!"
Mother An glanced at An Yu Chu: See? See? They aren't even married yet, and he's already calling you Mom and Dad.
An Yu Chu: ...
Ming Li raised her hand to cover her face, looking utterly defeated.
Damn it, this is idiotic! This misunderstanding is huge now! What kind of garbage did this stupid system teach?!
The system in the system space: ...Was panicking internally. It didn't expect the plot to develop like this!
It's all over now! My system life is in danger!
Ming Li let out two dry laughs with a blank expression and walked forward directly, saying, "I'll handle the engagement with Jiang Yan myself. Also, this is a younger brother I picked up. What are you guys imagining?"
Father An and Mother An: ...
An Yu Chu: ...
This isn't the plot! Why aren't you following the script? Shouldn't you say this is the son-in-law and brother-in-law you picked up for us?
Ming Li continued to laugh coldly, her expression utterly numb.
Ahhh!
Suddenly, the system in the system space screamed, and said in a panicked tone, "It's bad! It's bad! Host! Your bracelet is broken! The transmigration girl is gone!"
Ming Li: ...Her brows furrowed, and her expression instantly turned grim.
Seeing Ming Li's suddenly grim expression, An Li nervously asked, "What's wrong, Xiao Li? Did something happen?"
Ming Li's expression returned to normal. She glanced at the worried Mother An and said, "Mom, it's nothing major. You all go eat. I need to go out for a bit, but I'll be back soon!"
As she spoke, Ming Li glanced at An Li and continued, "An Li, you stay here."
An Li looked at Ming Li, paused, and subtly frowned. "Sis... Sister, I..."
Before An Li could finish his sentence, Ming Li interrupted him, "Be good! Be obedient! I'll be back soon."
An Li: "Okay... I'll wait for Sister... to come back."
Ming Li gave a faint hum, glanced at everyone, and turned to leave.
At this moment, within the system space.
The system was incredibly sour. The entire system space was filled with the scent of aged pickled cabbage.
