Chapter 1243

Hence, when Uncle Wen introduced her to Zhen Li’s father moments before, he had said, “He was my good friend,” and not “He is my good friend . ” That probably made all the difference .

Yu Lili had roughly guessed the details of everything that had happened . She also had a rough idea of their current relationship . It was appropriate for two friends to turn against each other because of a woman, but the close friendship naturally deteriorated over time .

Between these two buddies was a woman who was already dead . However, at the very least, Zhen Li’s father still had a child left behind by her .

Uncle Wen, on the other hand, had nothing at all . For so many years, he had remained single . Even as a bystander, Yu Lili found herself sympathizing with Wen Fenglin at his tragic experience .

Yu Lili was too deeply lost in her thoughts that she didn’t realize her name was being called by Uncle Wen .

Ou Ming nudged her a little and asked, “Are you done eating?”

Only then did Yu Lili regain her senses and nod her head . “Yeah . I’m done . ”

“Let’s go,” Ou Ming said .

“Sure!” Only as Yu Lili stood up did she realize that the atmosphere was surprisingly tense and awkward .

What had just happened?

Yu Lili was suddenly curious . Why did I have to daydream at that particular moment?

Seeing Uncle Wen and Ou Ming stand up together, Yu Lili looked down and held on to Ou Ming’s hand and walked ahead . As she was leaving, she couldn’t resist looking back one last time at Zhen Xianlang .

The expression that the elder was now looking at her with didn’t seem the same as before .

It couldn’t be that he’s treating me as Xian’er, could it?

Feeling a little awkward, Yu Lili quickly headed out with Ou Ming .

When they reached the outside, Wen Fenglin looked at Yu Lili and smilingly said, “That’s the way that guy is . You do indeed resemble Xian’er a little . If I hadn’t know better that Xian’er didn’t give birth to any child, I would have also thought that you were her daughter . ”

Xian’er didn’t give birth to any child?

Never having given birth before and not being able to give birth were two different notions . Yu Lili looked at Wen Fenglin strangely and asked, “How is that possible? Isn’t Zhen Li Xian’er’s son?”

Wen Fenglin shook his head . “No . That child is only is a little older than twenty . Xian’er passed away around 24 or 25 years ago . ”

Around 24 or 25 years ago? That’s around the same time that I was born!

Yu Lili’s heartbeat began to quicken . She instinctively looked to Ou Ming .

Judging from Ou Ming’s expression, he seemed a little affected by the information as well, but he didn’t display it openly .

Yu Lili considered the idea for a moment and sked, “Uncle Wen, do you have a photograph of Auntie Xian’er?”

So many people were saying that she resembled the lady, but Yu Lili had never even seen picture of her before .

When Wen Fenglin heard her request, he suddenly understood . “Why? Are you finally curious?”

Yu Lili nodded her head . “Yeah . I heard Granny Shen mention it as well . We don’t exactly look alike, at least not at first glance . But…”

“Yeah . The longer one interacts with you, the more the resemblance becomes apparent . ” As he was speaking, Wen Fenglin fished out his leather wallet and carefully retrieved a laminated photograph .

The photograph was in black and white . The clarity of photographs in that era weren’t too clear . The features on the subject’s face weren’t particularly distinct either, but the photograph had been preserved very well . The woman in it was warm and beautiful with a serene smile .

At first glance, Yu Lili already felt that there was something familiar about it . There was a resemblance . The facial features couldn’t be seen clearly in the picture . But, just from her silent posture alone, her resemblance to the lady in the photograph was apparent .
