"What happened then? Then..." Su Li took a long moment to find her voice.
"Then, then... that friend didn't go, and we're not in touch anymore," Qian Shengli replied as if it were the most natural thing in the world.
They'd cut ties, of course!
"Not in touch anymore..." Su Li let out a breath. "I... I never knew about any of this."
'She never imagined Wu Sheng had done so much behind the scenes for what she thought was just a simple meeting with a friend.'
"...You're old enough now, and Wu Sheng is about the right age, too. It's about time you two got married. Wu Sheng treats you so well, you don't have to worry about a thing."
While Su Li was still in a daze, Qian Shengli, on the other end of the line, offered this heartfelt summary and then hung up.
Su Li hung up and sat in a daze for a long while.
Just as she was spacing out, her phone rang.
She answered, and just as she expected, it was Wu Sheng.
