Chapter 1095

Watching Jiao Ziqing’s explosive look, Ou Ming squeezed his eyes shut, his heart lamenting the situation .

Yu Lili flung Ou Ming’s hand off and continued, her eyebrows creased in anger . “It was my mistake in calling you ‘Auntie’ just now . I had thought that you were still an elder after all . But judging from the way you speak, I feel that your actions don’t reflect those of an elder at all . An elder should have the appropriate attitude of one in order to properly guide the younger generation . Unfortunately, and forgive me for being blunt, but this is my first time meeting you, and other than your aged physical appearance, your actions do not make you seem any more mature than I am . ”

In other words, she was saying that Jiao Ziqing was taking advantage of her advanced years to impose her ideas on others .

Women never took it well when they were called old, much less Jiao Ziqing .

“Shut up!” Jiao Ziqing flared up . “Who the hell do you think you are to lecture me in this way?”

“I’m nobody to lecture you . I was just speaking my mind . I think in saying these words to you, my temperament is no different from yours when you said I wasn’t of the same status as Shen Manting . ”

Jiao Ziqing’s face flushed in anger, and spat out, “What I said was a fact!”

“What I said was a fact too . ” Yu Lili’s eyes deepened, and she went on, “We are all honest people . You stated a fact, and I stated a fact . We are now even . ”

But, could they ever be even?

Right from the start, the disparity between her social status and that of Ou Ming’s mother was already vast . How she was acting now was further lowering her standing in the eyes of that woman .

This could never be evened out .

But this outburst unleashed Yu Lili’s long-held sentiments, and it gave her a sudden sense of peace .

This sudden feeling of relief was very liberating .

Jiao Ziqing was furious, and she cackled in rage, “Do you know what you just said? You have just burned your bridges! I will never allow you into our family . If you still want to be together with my son, dream on!”

This had long been expected .

But actually hearing these words twisted Yu Lili’s heart .

It hurt .

She wanted to be together with Ou Ming . She wanted it very, very much . But whether it be her status and background or her world views and principles, she just didn’t fit in with this family in any way .

“Are you saying that if I hadn’t said a word, you’d permit me to be together with your son?”

“Over my dead body!” Jiao Ziqing laughed coldly . “My son will never marry a woman like you! If others were to find out that my son married a piece of sh*t like you, we’d become the joke of the century!”

“Therefore, the result was all the same . ” Yu Lili laughed . But this laughter carried pain . “Auntie, I regret it . ”

Satisfaction began to seep into Jiao Ziqing, as she stared at Yu Lili frostily . “Regrets are of no use . I will never accept you . ”

“You’ve misunderstood . I meant to say that I regret the fact that Ou Ming has a mother like you!”

The satisfaction that Jiao Ziqing initially experienced evaporated instantaneously . “How dare you!”

“Alright, enough!” Ou Ming interrupted their exchange with a somber expression . He held on to Yu Lili and admonished, “Regardless, my mother is an elder . Yu Lili, apologize to my mother!”

Apologize…

Yu Lili pursed her lips and looked up at him when she heard that .

Ou Ming’s bright eyes looked into hers deeply, with uncountable thoughts and unfathomable feelings hidden in its depths .

On one side stood his mother, and on the other was his lover . How was he to choose?

A mother couldn’t be humiliated . Therefore, the one destined to face the humiliation was his lover, wasn’t it?
