Payback…
When Yu Lili heard that word, she felt a warmth bloom in her heart. This was the first time, apart from Ou Ming, that someone said something like that to her.
After being bullied, if there was an individual who willingly stepped forward to avenge you and help you extract payback, how close would the relationship between the individual and you have to be? Relatives? Family?
This old lady was neither, yet she treated her so well. Was it solely because she liked her?
Yu Lili found it hard to believe, but she nodded her head nonetheless. As luck would have it, she wanted to pay Ou Ming a visit, too.
If she went on her own, it was likely that Jiao Ziqing would not even allow her past the door. Bringing along this old lady, who was the matriarch of their in-laws, might yield a different result.
When the old lady saw that she had agreed to it, she cheered up immediately. She rose to wash up and get changed, and got ready to head out.
By the time everything was ready, it was only a little after 7 a.m.
Shen Zhilie was still asleep. As Yu Lili was debating with herself whether or not to wake him up, the old lady gave her a look that told her not to.
They took a taxi to Ou Ming’s house. It was 8 a.m. when they arrived.
Old Mrs. Shen rang the doorbell while Yu Lili hid in a corner, afraid that Jiao Ziqing wouldn’t open the door if she saw Yu Lili through the peephole.
As it turned out, the one who opened the door wasn’t Jiao Ziqing. It was Ou Huojin.
Ou Huojin did a double take when he saw Old Mrs. Shen. “Grandmother-in-law! Why are you here?”
Grandmother-in-law was a form of address evidently carried over from before the fiasco.
The old matriarch of the Shen family nodded her head and answered, “I brought my granddaughter here for a visit.” She looked at Ou Huojin and asked, “May I enter?”
Ou Huojin quickly stood aside and said, “Please come in. It’s cold outside today. Why are you wearing so little? Your granddaughter is here with you?”
Had her granddaughter, Shen Manting, come as well? The very Shen Manting that the news outlets were saying had committed incest with her brother? The one that was previously engaged to his son?
“Yes. But it’s not my biological granddaughter. It’s someone I met outside.” Old Mrs. Shen looked Ou Huojin in the eye confidently.
Ou Huojin nodded his head. Shen Manting wasn’t her biological grandchild. Old Mrs. Shen had adopted her a few years back. This fact wasn’t known by him alone. Many others knew of it, too.
As they were conversing, he looked toward the old lady’s back and called out, “Manting, you’re here too? Why aren’t you coming in?”
However, when the old lady heard what Ou Huojin had called, her face darkened. She said, “Who told you it was Shen Manting? I already said it wasn’t her!”
Ou Huojin felt a moment of awkwardness. If it wasn’t Shen Manting, who else could it be?
Old Mrs. Shen gave a grunt and turned around. When she realized that Yu Lili hadn’t followed her, she became displeased and raised her voice, “Lili, what are you doing outside? Come in quickly!”
Lili? When that name was spoken, Ou Huojin wasn’t the only one surprised. Jiao Ziqing, who had just walked out, was also puzzled.
They both looked toward the door instinctively and saw the familiar figure enter.
Yu Lili didn’t look to be in good spirits. She had a bit of light makeup applied, but it wasn’t enough to cover her red and swollen eyes. She was looking a lot worse for wear than the day before.
As Yu Lili walked in, she gave an awkward little laugh before saying, “Hello, Uncle. Hello, Auntie.”
