After treating Old Mrs. Shen and Shen Zhilie to dinner, Yu Lili found an excuse to leave and head home.

What she didn’t expect to see when she returned to her apartment complex was a familiar figure standing at the entrance. Wen Fenglin emerged from a hired car. In his hand were a simple pouch and his cell phone. He looked like he was in the midst of making a phone call.

Yu Lili was very surprised when she saw Wen Fenglin. What is he doing here? Is he looking for someone? Does he know anyone in the neighborhood? Or for that matter, does he know anyone who lives in my apartment complex?

Just as Yu Lili was pondering the question, the cell phone in her pocket began to vibrate. One look at the screen, and she knew the caller was Uncle Wen.

Yu Lili accepted the call and placed the phone beside her ear. “Uncle Wen.”

“La.s.s, where are you?” Wen Fenglin asked.

Yu Lili took two steps forward to the entrance of her apartment complex and answered, “I am here.”

Wen Fenglin heard Yu Lili’s voice and turned his head around. He saw Yu Lili with the phone in her hand, answering his call, and his face broke out in a smile. Together with his two dimples, he was a pleasant sight.

Yu Lili hung up the call at the same time and walked towards Wen Fenglin. Her mind was br.i.m.m.i.n.g with questions and doubts.

Wen Fenglin and Jiao Ziqing were good friends. Is he here to bring me trouble on Jiao Ziqing’s behalf?

As if he read her mind and could tell the unease in her demeanor, Wen Fenglin widened his smile. Beneath his gla.s.ses, his eyes squinted along with his smile. “Is there anywhere nearby where we could sit and talk?”

He had asked to go somewhere nearby, not to Yu Lili’s house. This small detail put Yu Lili somewhat at ease.

She nodded her head and answered, “Yes.”

She brought Wen Fenglin to a nearby café. Because of the New Year festival, the usually bustling joint was emptier than usual.

Yu Lili picked a quiet and secluded corner. After they had placed their orders and sat facing each other, she waited for him to speak.

Wen Fenglin gazed at Yu Lili and said, “I heard that you hit Ou Ming yesterday, and pretty hard at that. He has been unconscious until now because of that.”

Yu Lili was stunned. She looked back at Wen Fenglin, trying to ascertain if he was joking. He wasn’t.

“How is that possible? Ou Ming is unconscious?” Yu Lili’s heart started beating wildly.

Wen Fenglin nodded his head. “Ou Ming’s mother is very brokenhearted. I think it would be best if you paid Ou Ming a visit. Ou Ming isn’t doing too well at the moment. If you can remain by his side, I’m sure his spirits will improve.”

After all, Yu Lili was an extremely special person to Ou Ming, just like Xian’er was to him many years ago. Wen Fenglin was sure that Ou Ming’s and Yu Lili’s feelings for each other were no less than his and Xian’er’s back then.

Yu Lili’s hands were clasped together under the table. Her heart felt as if someone had set it aflame and burnt up all her resolve.

Pay him a visit? He isn’t doing too well at the moment.

Uncle Wen’s words could be believed.

Yu Lili was almost swayed, but she recalled what Ou Ming had said to her. It strengthened her resolve once again. Every word he had spoken had been like a dagger stabbing her over and over until she was nothing but a b.l.o.o.d.y mess.
