Chapter 1161

Only after Old Mrs . Shen had voiced her question aloud did she realize how pointless her question was . If he was now blind, of course it was serious .

“It will all pass . That boy has luck on his side, after all,” she said .

Yu Lili forced a smile but didn’t say anything .

The old lady had been out the whole day . In addition, she had traveled by plane in the morning . She was long exhausted . Without speaking to Yu Lili any further, she fell asleep without realizing it .

The old lady kept a regular routine . She awoke at precisely 6 a . m . When she woke up, Yu Lili was still in the midst of a deep sleep . Her head was buried under both arms, and her hair covered half her face .

The old lady turned to observe Yu Lili in her fetal sleeping position . Curled up in a corner of the bed, she looked like a child without any sense of security .

It was at this moment that Old Mrs . Shen remembered with a jolt that Yu Lili was an orphan . She had been abandoned at birth and had never met her family . Her sense of loneliness was strongly evident in her sleeping posture .

The old lady had never been an emotional person . Suddenly, the indescribably weird atmosphere caused her nose to ache with unshed tears . She continued watching Yu Lili for a while .

Yu Lili opened her eyes with a click . It was only when she saw Old Mrs . Shen looking at her that she remembered where she was . She smiled and said, “Good morning, Grandma . “

“Good morning . Did you have a nightmare?” Old Mrs . Shen looked at her kindly . Her heart ached for her, especially when she noticed her tear-stained face . She reached out gently and patted her on her arm with a smile on her face .

Yu Lili smiled back at her . She wiped the tear stains off her face and got up . “I guess so . “

Yu Lili’s eyes looked a lot more swollen than they did the previous day . Judging from that and the wet stains on her face, it was not hard to guess what her nightmare had been about .

“Tell Grandma what sad nightmare you had . ” Old Mrs . Shen’s voice was gentle, warm, and filled with love . At the same time, her dry and papery hand was stroking Yu Lili’s hair .

This unrelated elderly was obviously very advanced in her years, with a slightly hunched back, and layers of wrinkles stacked on top of each other . Yet, she gave Yu Lili the love and warmth she had never experienced before from an older person .

With the exception of Ou Ming, this was the only person who had spoken to her in such a manner . The pressure in Yu Lili’s chest burst forth and couldn’t be controlled . She swallowed the lump in her throat a few times before her tears came cascading down .

“What’s wrong?” Old Mrs . Shen furrowed her brows as she saw the sadness Yu Lili was harboring .

Yu Lili couldn’t hold back her tears and sobs . She hugged on to the old lady . She could smell the unique scent that accompanied an elderly person’s low metabolism . The emptiness in her heart that she didn’t know existed was slowly filled up .

As Yu Lili was choking with sobs, Old Mrs . Shen didn’t probe any further . She gently returned the hug and provided silent consolation .

“Thank you, Grandma,” Yu Lili finally said .

“Did Ou Ming bully you?” Old Mrs . Shen asked softly as she patted her lightly on her back . “Coincidentally, it’s been a while since I’ve dropped by their place . Why don’t you take me there for a visit?”

“To the Ou residence?” Yu Lili asked .

“Yes . That rascal, Ou Ming, broke your heart so badly . I’m going to extract a proper payback from him . We cannot allow them to bully our family and get away with it, right?” Old Mrs . Shen was full of righteous indignation as she said, “Since you address me as ‘Grandma,’ you are my granddaughter . Come, let’s get our payback!”
