Chapter 1163

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 . ”
