Chapter 1253: 1253

When Shen Zhilie saw them, the sides of his mouth wobbled a little . He couldn’t bring himself to smile no matter how hard he tried .

Ou Ming’s manner and behavior were a lot cleaner than the day before . He looked to be in much better spirits, too . That was undoubtedly all due to Yu Lili’s effort .

Old Mrs . Shen did not notice her grandson’s peculiar expression . She happily walked over and remarked, “Rascal! You look a lot more handsome than you did yesterday!”

Ou Ming stared ahead . His eyes were unfocused and empty . When he heard that, his bottom eyelid began to quiver . With a chuckle, he replied, “Is that so? Thank you for the compliment! What are you plans today?”

“Me? I’m going back to the Capital with Zhilie . We’ve been out for too long . ” Old Mrs . Shen edged closer to Ou Ming and asked in a conspiratorial whisper, “Are you and Yu Lili back together?”

Ou Ming’s eyes turned down in laughter as happiness coursed through him . He didn’t admit it directly . Instead, he replied, “Why don’t you ask Lili?”

When Old Mrs . Shen saw that, she pouted her lips and gave him a side-eye in faux disgust . She instantly recalled that he couldn’t see, so she clicked her tongue instead and mumbled, “Yu Lili’s way too kind-hearted . If it had been me, I would never have forgiven you . But, let me share something with you . Share it with your mother when you get back . ”

“Huh?” Ou Ming was a bit confused .

Old Mrs . Shen spoke in a very hushed tone . It sounded mysterious .

This was the first time Ou Ming had come so close to Old Mrs . Shen, and it was also the first time that the old lady spoke to him in such an amiable tone .

“I am intending to officially adopt Yu Lili as my granddaughter,” Old Mrs . Shen said .

Ou Ming was surprised when he heard it . On second thought, the news wasn’t that groundbreaking either .

Old Mrs . Shen had an eccentric character and personality . She had known Shen Manting wasn’t a biological relation, but she brought her back and adopted her as a granddaughter anyway . Judging from how fond this old lady was of Yu Lili, officially adopting her as a granddaughter wasn’t exactly unimaginable .

“Have you spoken about it with Yu Lili yet?” Ou Ming asked

“No . I’m worried that she won’t agree to it,” Old Mrs . Shen said . “Aren’t I here to brainstorm with you?”

“Brainstorm with me?” Ou Ming burst out laughing . “I’m not the one you’re trying to adopt . I can’t decide for her!”

She’d almost suffered from a breakdown the night before . If it wasn’t for his quick-wittedness, Yu Lili might not even have come around . If she were to find out that Old Mrs . Shen had bypassed her and discussed this issue directly with him, it was highly likely that she’d get upset .

“In my opinion, you should speak to her about it,” Ou Ming said . “She already calls you Grandma . If you were to propose your plan, isn’t it already destined for success?”

“Alright . I’m counting on you to back me up later,” Old Mrs . Shen said .

“Sure,” Ou Ming replied swiftly and confidently .

Old Mrs . Shen was reassured . She turned to look at Yu Lili . She warmly held her hand and said, “Let’s go for breakfast, Lili . I feel like eating chicken feet . ”

Yu Lili smiled and replied, “OK . Let’s go . ” She quickly stopped in her steps and looked back at Ou Ming .

Unexpectedly, Shen Zhilie had already walked over to Ou Ming . He looked at her and said, “Leave him to me . You go ahead with Grandma . ”

Yu Lili felt a little awkward . Just as she was about to say something, Old Mrs . Shen tugged her and said, “Let’s go!”

Shen Zhilie maintained the smile on his face as he watched his grandmother drag Yu Lilli off . His face changed as he looked at Ou Ming . “Last night, it must have been you who didn’t allow Lili to leave, wasn’t it?”

Ou Ming snorted . “I kept her back based on my own ability . Are you trying to steal my tactics now?”
