Chapter 1233: Alone Together

Ou Ming had long known that Shen Zhilie couldn’t wait to send him off as soon as he could. When he heard the suggestion, he wasn’t surprised at all.

Sitting calming where he was, Ou Ming said, “Actually, arrangements were already made for someone to pick me up. You can get Yu Lili to contact Uncle Wen.”

“Since he’s here to pick you up, why do I need to get Lili involved? Can’t you contact him on your own?” Shen Zhili asked with obvious disbelief.

“I don’t remember his number. I don’t have my phone with me,” Ou Ming answered matter-of-factly.

When Shen Zhilie heard that, he gave a sarcastic smile to Ou Ming. He picked up the phone up in front of Ou Ming and sent Yu Lili a text message: [Ou Ming wants to contact Uncle Wen. Please send me Uncle Wen’s mobile number.]

Yu Lili saw the message and sent the contact details over without a second thought.

Ou Ming took it all in and discovered a newfound respect for Shen Zhilie. This guy is really sly!

Shen Zhilie waited for the call to Wen Fenglin to connect before passing the cell phone to Ou Ming.

Ou Ming took it and called out, “Uncle Wen.”

“Hello, Xiao Ou, how are you getting along with Lili?” Wen Fenglin asked.

“Not too bad. But, where are you, Uncle Wen? I’ll get Yu Lili to take me to you. Let’s go back to Kingstown together,” Ou Ming said.

“Well, OK.” Wen Fenglin gave him the address. It was the Art Association in a nearby city.

Upon hanging up, Ou Ming could clearly sense Shen Zhilie’s displeasure.

Acting as if he didn’t know a thing, he said, “Give Yu Lili a call. Ask her to take me there.”

“I’ll take you. My grandmother likes Lili very much. Let them spend a little more time together,” Shen Zhilie said.

“Yeah, I can tell. Is your grandmother intending to change Yu Lili’s surname from Yu to Shen and accept her as a god-granddaughter?” Ou Ming asked.

“Of course not. Even if she does change her surname, it’ll be because of me,” Shen Zhilie said.

The underlying meaning of that statement couldn’t be any clearer.

When Ou Ming heard that, he burst out laughing and asked, “It should be afternoon now, shouldn’t it? Are you in dreamland?”

Shen Zhilie looked at Ou Ming coldly. “Let’s wait and see. Lili will not choose you. She’ll be mine sooner or later.”

“Do you even have that ability?” Ou Ming raised his eyebrows. His eyes continued staring ahead blankly, but his laughter was hearty and loud.

Shen Zhilie decided to ignore him and got up to leave. He didn’t show any intention of taking Ou Ming with him.

Ou Ming continued to act as if he didn’t know where he was seated and was listening out for the sounds around him.

I’ll just wait then. Yu Lili will come back sooner or later.

Shen Zhilie was digging his own grave by abandoning a blind man and leaving him to his own devices.

Indeed, after a little more than 10 minutes, Shen Zhilie returned, huffing and puffing away, “Why didn’t you follow me?”

“When did you leave?” Ou Ming asked.

Hearing this question in reply, Shen Zhilie didn’t know what to say.

The sound of gentle footsteps could be heard coming from behind. They sounded familiar.

Shen Zhilie turned his head. It was Yu Lili. She was carrying a backpack. She walked over to Ou Ming. When she saw Shen Zhilie, she said, “Grandma is alone in the room. Go and accompany her. I’ll take him to Uncle Wen.”

That meant to say that they were going to be alone together. That was impossible.

Shen Zhilie quickly interjected, “I’ll come along with you.”

“Stay and keep Grandma company. I’ll take him to the Art Associating to meet Uncle Wen and come back.” Yu Lili looked at Shen Zhilie. “Grandma is getting on in years. She shouldn’t have to travel up and down with us. I just told Grandma that I’ll bring a cake back for her. Why don’t you bring a piece of cake back? I’m going now.”

With that, she held on to Ou Ming and headed out. Shen Zhilie wasn’t sure if he saw wrongly, but he was almost sure that he caught Ou Ming beaming with satisfaction on his way out.
