Su Li was speechless. She felt a strange sense of kinship with this Aunt Chang.
"I almost got a divorce back then, too, but in the end, it didn't happen. I was much older than you are now, but..."
Aunt Chang looked at Su Li with a complicated, somewhat puzzled expression.
For some reason, she felt the young woman before her could understand her words and her feelings. She had an inexplicable urge to confide in her.
They were clearly from two different generations.
"Little Su, can you tell me your real reason for wanting a divorce?"
Su Li was silent for a long time before she spoke.
She didn't say much, only briefly mentioning the two times she had been misunderstood.
She didn't embellish the stories, just recounted them simply, but Aunt Chang's expression slowly darkened.
"No wonder... no wonder..." Aunt Chang murmured, suddenly reaching up to tuck a stray strand of Su Li's hair behind her ear.
She then patted Su Li's shoulder. "My child, you've suffered."
