After being single for so many years, Lu Mengyao didn't feel anything was wrong with it.
Even though she knew plenty of people gossiped behind her back, calling her a leftover woman, she didn't find it shameful at all.
But now, with Liu Mang putting it that way, Lu Mengyao inexplicably felt ashamed, as if subjected to a great humiliation.
Furiously glaring at Liu Mang, Lu Mengyao spat out, "Is it really such a big deal? Who says a woman has to find a boyfriend or get married? I just won't find a boyfriend and I won't get married, what can you do about it?"
"I really can't do anything about it," Liu Mang paused before adding, "but I think your older cousin, Wu Meifang, has a say in it."
Just mentioning her older cousin Wu Meifang deflated Lu Mengyao.
Her cousin was more than involved; to get her to find a boyfriend and leave her single status behind, she'd nearly talked her own head off, leaving Lu Mengyao with calluses in her ears from hearing it so many times.
