Upon hearing this, Li Chuntao was also a bit puzzled. What does it mean by not truly being engaged? Isn't Xiaoxiao her younger uncle? How could she not know if he's engaged or not?
So she asked directly, "Xiaoxiao, you don't even know whether your younger uncle is engaged?"
Faced with this question, Xiaoxiao felt a touch of awkwardness. Indeed, such a big matter and she was left out of the loop. Others would surely think that her family doesn't value her.
However, she could understand her family's actions. At that time, something major happened to her family, and her in-laws didn't want her to be distracted, so they didn't tell her.
She explained, "Ah, there's a long story behind it. Let me give you the short version. My family's situation took a turn for the worse, and my in-laws were worried I'd be distracted by it, so I found out later."
