  “It’s nothing. I just didn’t want to let you sit with your father-in-law.” Shen Zhilie’s volume wasn’t high. When he spoke, he wiggled his brows at Ou Ming.

  Ou Ming chuckled. “Why are you such an assh*le?”


  “I’m nothing compared to you.” Shen Zhilie continued driving. Before long, they reached the restaurant.

  He had the passengers in the car alight before parking and following after them.

  It had been a long time since Wen Fenglin and Old Mrs. Shen had met up. They spent the time reminiscing about his youth.

  “When Xiao Wen was young…… Whoa, his looks were faultless,” Old Mrs. Shen said. “And, when he was together with Xian’er, what a good-looking couple they made!”


  Yu Lili tucked in to her food while she listened eagerly to the tales. She nodded every now and then and began to get a better understanding of her mother, whom she had only known vaguely through the previous comments of others.

  After their meal, Ou Ming’s first thought was to find a hotel for himself and Yu Lili. Unexpectedly, Yu Lili had teamed up with Old Mrs. Shen. Before he knew it, they were headed to the Shen residence.

  The Shen residence was huge, and the guest rooms were aplenty.

  Old Mrs. Shen pulled Yu Lili to her own room and announced that she’d be sleeping there tonight.

  As for Ou Ming, he had no choice but to drag the luggage alone and settle in the room that the housemaid led him to.

  Wen Fenglin, on the other hand, was easily pacified. Seeing how his daughter and son-in-law were, he laughed happily along with them.

  Once she had ascertained the roof over their heads, Yu Lili wasn’t in a hurry to sleep. The old lady happily brought her around.

  They went to the public square that the old lady frequented and found many people of similar age to Old Mrs. Shen milling around, listening to music, and chit-chatting.

  “Granny, do you do line dancing at this square?” Yu Lili asked in surprise.

  Old Mrs. Shen seemed really proud of herself as she replied, “You’ll know when you see it!”


  As she spoke, she walked over to the group of elderly ladies and waved at them, “Sisters, I brought my god-granddaughter over to meet you!”


  When Yu Lili heard Old Mrs. Shen say that, she smiled and walked up to them. Respectfully, she called out, “Hello, Grannies. I’m Lili.”


  “Oh, you’re Lili? Old Mrs. Shen is always talking about you. You’re so pretty! You must be from the south! How pretty you are!”


  “Hey, are you attached? I have a grandson who’s really handsome!”


  “Yeah, right! How can your grandson ever be considered handsome? My grandson is the one who’s handsome! Lili, would you like to go for tea with me and get to know him?”


  The old ladies were friendly and affectionate. Yu Lili’s smile widened as she replied, “I’m already married, and my husband came with me to the Capital.”


  “What? You’re so young and married? Are you even 22 yet?”


  “Youngsters are always in such a hurry. Do you have any children yet? When do you intend to have children?”


  Yu Lili was speechless. It was so awkward. Were such questions even appropriate for a stranger to ask?

  Old Mrs. Shen was a little ruffled as well and said, “Stop your idle talk! I brought my granddaughter here today to watch us dance!” She looked at Lili and said, “Don’t be fooled by our old age, we’re really active and agile! Come, let me prove it to you!”


  “Alright!” Yu Lili enthusiastically gave them a round of applause.

  Old Mrs. Shen set the music playing. The group of old ladies, eager to display their dance, got into formation quickly.

  The music was very much of the Chinese classical genre.
