After hearing a definitive statement, Lu Tingli frowned slightly in contemplation. It seemed he thought of something and, after organizing his thoughts, indirectly reminded her:
"Since she wants her best friend to become her sister-in-law, you could get your future stepfather to investigate what her sister's best friend is like. If she turns out to be not so good, once her sister finds out, she probably won't insist on making her best friend the sister-in-law."
"By then, she might not oppose your stepdad marrying your mom anymore."
If things were to follow the later development as expected, Xia Shufang's best friend was probably already fooling around with her boyfriend at this point.
It was also because of this that Xia Shufang, heartbroken, went abroad to study and focused on painting, eventually becoming a famous painter.
Her paintings would later be auctioned for sky-high prices.
