Chapter 1164: Doesn’t That Mean He’s Blind?

When Yu Lili heard that, she knew right away that the statement had been intended for her ears. She lowered her eyes to the coffee table with her hands clasped together.

He was eating and sleeping well, and was in a pretty good mood. Shouldn’t she have been happy upon hearing that? Unexplainably, Yu Lili’s heart was filled with unspeakable pain. To think that his mood improved considerably after he broke up with her, how could that be possible? She couldn’t bring herself to believe it.

Judging from how unperturbed Jiao Ziqing was acting, she didn’t seem to have any worry for her son whatsoever. In fact, she looked downright relaxed.

Old Mrs. Shen squinted her eyes and replied, “Is that so? That’s great to hear. I was worried that something serious had happened to your son. After all, the betrothal agreement between your family and mine hasn’t been called off yet. In the future, our families are going to become in-laws. I have no wish for my granddaughter to marry a handicapped person.”

This declaration was so blunt it made everyone present feel awkward.

All Yu Lili felt was the pain of a knife right through her heart. In that moment, it was as if everything happening around her had nothing to do with her at all.

The engagement between Shen Manting and Ou Ming had not been called off? So, all along, their engagement had never been called off? Even after such a scandal broke out between Shen Luo’an and Shen Manting, the engagement between the two families still hadn’t been broken off?

Yu Lili found it hard to believe. But, the expressions on the faces of Jiao Ziqing and Ou Huojin told her what she needed to know. It was true.

Jiao Ziqing felt a little awkward and said, “Grandmother-in-law, how could you say that? Our son...”

“Are you telling me your son really became a handicapped person?” Old Mrs. Shen narrowed her eyes and demanded sharply.

Jiao Ziqing choked on her words. Neither “yes” nor “no” seemed to be the right answer.

Ou Ming’s current situation was indeed pretty bad. Not only had he lost his sense of sight, he had also broken his arm. For someone to use the word “handicap,” how was she as his parent supposed to react to it?

Yu Lili quietly tugged on Old Mrs. Shen’s sleeve and said in a lowered voice, “Grandma, Ou Ming is very well.”

“What does ‘very well’ mean? Was what you said true? Can he see anymore?” Old Mrs. Shen had no intention of hiding anything. She shrilly said, “Doesn’t that mean he’s blind? How is that different from a handicapped person? My granddaughter cannot marry someone like that!”

“Old Mrs. Shen,” the voice of a young man rang out from the second story. The voice was cold and unhappy enough to send shivers down one’s spine.

A ripple of emotion passed through Yu Lili when she looked toward the source of the sound and saw Ou Ming in pajamas.

His hand was bound in a cast that hung around his neck. His eyes stared blankly ahead, like that of a lifeless doll.

“If you’re here to see if I’m truly handicapped, you’ve now seen it. It’s as you said. I’m blind and handicapped. You may return home now,” Ou Ming said. “As for Shen Manting, what makes you so confident that I would still want to marry a woman with as bad a reputation as her? I certainly don’t want a woman who’s been having an affair with her brother!”

Yu Lili hadn’t said a word out loud from the moment she stepped into the house. Ou Ming knew that Old Mrs. Shen hadn’t come alone. When he heard her refer to her granddaughter, he automatically assumed the other person was Shen Manting.

When Yu Lili looked upon the messy yet proud-standing figure above, a myriad of complex emotions filled her heart.
