Chapter 1163: I Heard Your Son Got Into A Car Accident

Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio

Jiao Ziqing and her husband looked at each other and saw the question mark in each other’s eyes. Since when did Yu Lili become the granddaughter of the Shen family?

There had been no news about that at all. Furthermore, rumors had it that this old lady was extremely hard to handle. Jiao Ziqing had heard that she was occasionally mentally unstable and muddle-headed, frequently blabbering nonsense. In addition, she swung frequently between happiness and anger without any warning. If one were to really offend her, this old lady would have no qualms about giving the said individual a proper dressing down.

Even Shen Manting was constantly at a loss on how to deal with this old lady. How was Yu Lili now related to her?

Old Mrs. Shen paid no heed to their expressions of surprise. She turned around and walked over to Yu Lili, and warmly held her hand. With a smile on her face, she led her to the sitting room of the Ou residence.

Witnessing this scene caused Jiao Ziqing’s jaw to drop. In the four years that Shen Manting had been engaged to Ou Ming, this old lady had come by twice. She always carried the demeanor of a matriarch who had come to discuss her granddaughter’s wedding; she never revealed a smile, much less held Shen Manting’s hand to walk in.

How on earth did Yu Lili handle this old lady?

Yu Lili could sense Jiao Ziqing’s eyes on her, make goosebumps rise. She looked up and gave a weak smile.

Without any care in the world, the old lady sat down on the couch in front of Jiao Ziqing and Ou Huojin.

“Madam Yang, please serve the premium black tea that I brought back last year,” Ou Huojin instructed toward the back of the house.

“Yes, Sir.” Madam Yang quickly brought the tea out. She was equally perplexed when she saw Yu Lili.

Madam Yang had been on leave the previous few days and hadn’t met Yu Lili. But, she was no stranger to Old Mrs. Shen. Facing such an unfamiliar “granddaughter” made her take a second look.

Surrounded by questioning eyes, Yu Lili felt as if she were sitting on pins and needles. It was an uncomfortable position to be in.

Everyone had their questions, but Jiao Ziqing sat down first. With a smile, she served some snacks to Old Mrs. Shen and asked, “How is Grandmother-in-law free enough to pay us a visit today? It’s now the New Year. Is everything in the Capital peaceful?”

What she really meant was, The mess in your home hasn’t even been settled yet. What the hell are you doing here in my home?

Old Mrs. Shen had lived for many years, so she easily caught the underlying meaning. With a grunt, she answered, “I heard that your son got into a car accident. I had my granddaughter bring me here to pay a visit. We were, after all, in-laws before. I don’t want outsiders to say that I’m a cold-blooded old woman. I came here specially to look for Yu Lili, so I had her bring me here along the way.”

When Jiao Ziqing heard that, she gave Yu Lili a sidelong glance.

She came specially to look for Yu Lili? Was that to say that Yu Lili and the old lady had already known each other for a while? Could it be... that Yu Lili wasn’t really an orphan at all but a relation to the Shen family?

Jiao Ziqing’s thoughts were in a jumble. She looked at Yu Lili and again at the old lady. Without a change in expression, she nodded her head. “That’s very thoughtful of you, Grandmother-in-law.”

“Where’s your son?” Old Mrs. Shen asked.

“He’s injured. He refused to stay in the hospital, so he was discharged early. He’s asleep in his room now.” When she spoke, Jiao Ziqing took a seemingly unintentional glance at Yu Lili. “Thankfully, he’s eating and sleeping well. His mood since yesterday has been pretty good, too.”
