Chapter 1172

“Is he in a very bad state?”

What Ou Ming had said to her the previous day was still replaying in her memory . Yu Lili’s mind was in a mess . In the moment, she found herself caught between a rock and a hard place .

Ou Ming was in a really bad state and was still unconscious?

Judging from Uncle Wen’s demeanor, he didn’t seem especially concerned or panicky . Perhaps he wasn’t telling the truth?

Wen Fenglin looked at her deeply and nodded his head . “He’s not doing well . He has been floating in and out of consciousness since yesterday . The doctors said that after he wakes up, it’s likely that the condition of his eyes will be worse…”

That meant to say that it was possible Ou Ming would never see again . Yu Lili felt a stream of heat bubbling through her . She couldn’t control the sudden surge of warmth that pushed against the back of her eyes .

However, the deep and penetrating gaze Wen Fenglin used on Yu Lili made her feel like she was a prisoner under a prison warden’s interrogation . It made her extremely uneasy .

Yu Lili gave it some thought . She laughed mirthlessly and said in a low voice, “Uncle Wen, Ou Ming is naturally blessed . He will definitely be OK . “

“We can only hope so . I hope for him to recover soon . He does call me ‘uncle’ after all . Seeing him in this state makes all of us worry for him . ” Wen Fenglin watched Yu Lili . “The reason I sought you out was because I, too, hope that Ou Ming can regain consciousness sooner . To tell you the truth, Ou Ming’s mother forbade me from coming to find you . She felt that you’re the one who caused her son to be in this state . The two slaps you gave him yesterday worsened his injuries…”

Without a doubt, Jiao Ziqing definitely hated Yu Lili vehemently . Yu Lili knew this well . With a humorless chuckle, she said, “Uncle Wen, you weren’t present yesterday . So, it’s impossible for you to fathom what Ou Ming said to me yesterday . I will remember every word he said . In the future, regardless of what happens to Ou Ming, I hope that you won’t tell it to me, Uncle Wen . It has nothing to do with me anymore . “

More importantly, she was afraid that if she received news of Ou Ming’s condition, her heart would waver, causing her to give in .

“There’s no way you’ll be able to let go,” Wen Fenglin stated bluntly . He looked at Yu Lili with a smile on his face . “You’re very similar to a person I once knew long ago . “

Was that why he was so kind to her?

Yu Lili seemed to understand something, but she didn’t say a word .

The drinks they had ordered earlier arrived . Yu Lili didn’t reach for it . Instead, she looked at Wen Fenglin and stood up . “Uncle Wen, thank you for coming to tell me about Ou Ming today, but I won’t go . I have something going on, so I’ll be leaving . “

Immediately after, she made a move to leave her seat . Her chest was tight with emotions .

Wen Fenglin looked at Yu Lili in surprise . Before he came, he had imagined countless possible outcomes . None of them were that Yu Lili would reject him .

Her current attitude had been totally unexpected . What made Wen Fenglin even more surprised was the fact that Yu Lili’s action drew admiration from him . When he realized that, he laughed bitterly .

It was nasty of him indeed, as Ou Ming’s elder, to think that Yu Lili had done well .

“Laddie, you can’t blame me anymore . You’re the one who went overboard,” Wen Fenglin muttered under his breath .

The volume was loud enough to be heard, but all Yu Lili caught were some unintelligible whispers . She turned her head only to be met with Wen Fenglin’s smile .

“The drinks just came,” he said . “Have a seat and chat with me . We won’t talk about Ou Ming . ”
