1285 Her Tongue Is Sharp, But Her Heart Isn’t Evil (1/2)

I heard… Whom else could she have heard it from?

The only person who could have told her was Ou Ming. His intention was clear. He was probably trying to make use of the Shen family's reputation to convince his mother.

When Yu Lili heard that statement, she understood what was going on. She nodded her head and considered her words before saying, ”Granny Shen treats me very well. She hopes that I'll visit her in the Capital when I'm free.”

Jiao Ziqing recalled the scene when Old Mrs. Shen brought Yu Lili over to their house. It was obvious from her actions then that the old lady was very protective of the lass.

”Well, she may be pretty annoying, but her luck's pretty good,” Jiao Ziqing muttered under her breath to herself.

Yu Lili was speechless. Indeed, nothing good could come from a filthy mouth.

”Mom, won't you eat some? It's quite delicious.” Ou Ming quickly changed the topic.

Jiao Ziqing flashed him a look and stated in displeasure, ”No. If you've nothing else to do, go home. Stop spending so much time outside. I don't want people to think my son is dead.”

Yu Lili's mind went blank when she heard that. And, so did Ou Ming's.

”Alright. I'm off.” Jiao Ziqing stood up and turned to walk out.

”Take care,” Ou Ming replied.

Yu Lili pointed at his head. She quickly got up and walked out too, saying, ”Did you drive over? I could take you back.”

”That won't be necessary. I have my own car.” She quickly added, ”Is the red Jeep outside yours?”

Yu Lili was stunned and didn't know how to reply.
