Chapter 779: Chapter 776
At this remark, Auntie Lu sighed softly, and with a touch of intention, she casually said:
“Your Brother Shen is indeed quite the catch. I’ve known him for many years, but his standards are high. When you say he likes you, could you possibly be mistaken?”
Li Zaijun was stunned: “…??”
What, what?
Did Auntie mean to say she wasn’t good enough for Shen Lin!?
Shouldn’t Auntie think it was because he used to be too flirtatious?
Now Auntie Lu remarked again: “After all, his previous girlfriends had looks and figures, were gentle, considerate, and could act coquettishly—”
“Stop right there. Am I really that bad in comparison? Besides, it’s already pretty good of me not to mind his past with so many girlfriends,” Li Zaijun pouted, her voice full of grievance.
In truth, deep down she no longer cared about all that, since those were things of the past.
Auntie Lu sized her up and down, patted her little head, and slowly said:
“It’s not that you’re lacking. Your Brother Shen is young and yet has already made significant achievements in the business world. As for his past girlfriends… Well, he is, after all, a businessman, and in the business world, it’s inevitable to play a role when the occasion demands it, but I’ve never actually heard of him being seriously involved with anyone.”
Having said this, Auntie Lu sneaked a peek at her face, a touch of teasing flashing in her eyes.
Her little niece was clearly in denial, already in love with him in her heart, yet she refused to admit it.
Upon hearing this, Li Zaijun’s heart trembled. So, were even his past flirtations just part of playing a role?
Her hand clenched her clothes in dilemma, and she muttered softly: “Then Auntie, am I really not good enough for him…?”
Having said this, she didn’t look up for quite a long time.
Until her chin was lifted by someone.
She locked eyes with her aunt.
Auntie Lu’s eyes were twinkling with laughter: “Didn’t you say you didn’t like him? Then why care about this?”
“I…
She stuttered and was at a loss for words.
Little did she know, all her careful thoughts had been completely figured out by these old foxes.
Auntie Lu’s smile gradually receded, she patted her little shoulder, drew her into her arms, sighed softly, and in a gentle voice, said:
“Our Junjun is the best. Actually, I was only teasing you just now. You’re completely worthy of anyone. It’s just that I wanted to know your true feelings.”
Li Zaijun: “…”
Auntie Lu continued:
“To be honest, I’d prefer that compared to your Brother Shen, you find a steady boy, maybe one who works for a state-owned enterprise or government agency. Although Brother Shen is not bad, in business, deception is common, and to reach the level he has, he’s not a simple character. I just worry that you might not be able to handle him.”
These were indeed truthful words – the girl was too naive.
If Shen Lin truly cared for her, genuinely loved her, then that would be perfect.
As these thoughts settled, Li Zaijun was momentarily at a loss for words.
Because Auntie was right, leaving her somewhat powerless to argue.

“However, this is your own matter. Auntie can only give you advice, but can’t make the decision for you. If you like him, you might as well give it a try,” said Auntie Lu, having said her piece.
Li Zaijun: “…”
