Chapter 583: Encountering Wang Zhao
"Thank you, Uncle Li."
Shen Mianmian smiled, squinting her eyes and keenly noticed that a smile also flickered in the depths of Li Julin’s eyes.
She chatted with Xiu Min for a while, and when Xiu Min invited her to stay for dinner, Shen Mianmian declined, citing that she still had to stop by the store.
Xiu Min didn’t insist and walked her to the door, "Mianmian, your Uncle Li doesn’t actually blame you. He was worried because you didn’t come today. He’s just like that, his way of expressing himself is different from others."
"Auntie Xiu, I know Uncle Li is worried about me. I was indeed delayed by something today and didn’t inform you ahead of time. It was inconsiderate of me."
Although not related by blood to Li Julin, Shen Mianmian knew him quite well. In her past life, when she first started taking care of Li Julin without understanding his temperament, she faced several setbacks. But once she got to know him, he treated her like a daughter.
Hearing Shen Mianmian’s response, Xiu Min grew even fonder of her. The girl was so sensible; not only did she understand her and her husband’s concerns, but she also didn’t try to justify herself excessively from beginning to end.
Even though Shen Mianmian didn’t specify what had delayed her, it must have been something urgent. Considering she still remembered to let them know afterward, it showed that she was already very thoughtful.
The average adult wouldn’t think that far.
Take Wan Dongcheng, for example! If he had been half as considerate as Mianmian, his father might not still be refusing to accept him.
Xiu Min sighed to herself and smiled at Shen Mianmian, "It’s getting late; you should hurry to the store. Get some rest early tonight; you’ve got dark circles under your eyes."
