Chapter 1254: 1254

Steal his tactics? Shen Zhilie could only laugh bitterly when he heard that . Even if he did steal Ou Ming’s tactics, he could never succeed the way Ou Ming had . They were both men, but the difference between them was worlds apart .

“You’re really an assh*le . ” Shen Zhilie reached out and thumped Ou Ming on his shoulder . The blow was neither heavy nor light . “I have absolutely no idea what Yu Lili sees in you . Why would a good girl like her be so wholeheartedly in love with someone like you? The world really isn’t fair . ”

In his opinion, Ou Ming was worse than scum . He was the scum beneath the earth . Yet, even a piece of scum like Ou Ming could get such a good woman . Shen Zhilie couldn’t help but start to doubt himself .

“The world has never been fair . Perhaps the reason why the heavens allowed Yu Lili’s final choice to be me is because I’m more suited for it . So, they bestowed her upon me . ” Ou Ming sounded very pleased with himself . The arrogance in his voice made Shen Zhilie itch to punch him .

At the same time, Ou Ming meant what he said, which was touching in itself .

“Regardless, I’ll be considered her brother in the future . You have to treat her well . If you bully her, I’ll fly from the Capital to Kingstown to give you a good beating . ” Shen Zhilie patted Ou Ming’s shoulder . He pulled him along by the hem of his clothing and said, “Let’s go . I can’t have anyone accusing me of bullying a blind man . That’ll be too great a sin for me to bear . ”

Ou Ming laughed and followed his lead without a second word .

Yu Lili had originally been worried that the two men left behind would be at each other’s throats . When she looked back, she was surprised to find the both of them, one walking in front of the other, in unusual harmony . With her heart at peace, she allowed herself to be dragged off my Old Mrs . Shen to a breakfast café .

The group of them sat down together . Yu Lili automatically sat by Ou Ming’s side and helped him with his utensils and food .

After placing their orders, Old Mrs . Shen started the speech that she had been rehearsing since a long time ago . “Lili, would you like to go back to the Capital with me?”

Yu Lili heard that and looked at Old Mrs . Shen as she replied, “But, I have to go back to work tomorrow . Even if I go with you now, I won’t be able to stay for long . ”

“It’s fine . Even if you don’t go now, you can always go in future,” Old Mrs . Shen said . “I have an idea, and I would like to share it with you . ”

“Huh?” Yu Lili poured Old Mrs . Shen a cup of tea and looked the old lady in the eye .

“Lili, you grew up without parents and without any family . Should you get married one day, what will you do without the backing of an original family?” What Old Mrs . Shen was in the interest of tradition . “Lili, let my family be your original family . Be my granddaughter . Allow Shen Zhilie to be your older brother . What do you say?”

Yu Lili was stunned into silence when she heard the proposition .

Old Mrs . Shen knew her words had come too suddenly . The hope she harbored in her heart came spilling out with a passion . “In time, I’ll bring you back to the Capital and have you meet Shen Zhilie’s father and mother . If you’re willing, Zhilie’s father will be your father, and Zhilie’s mother will be your mother . What do you say?”

Yu Lili did not know how to react . She felt her heartbeat quicken . Not knowing what to do, she looked at Ou Ming .

Ou Ming gently placed his hand on her thigh and lowered his voice . “Don’t be afraid . You can consider it . Granny Shen is doing this for your good . ” He lowered his voice even further and said, “Granny Shen likes you very much, and she treats you very well . If you became a part of their family, that could be a good thing . ”

Yu Lili held on to Ou Ming hand . She was a little hesitant, “But…”
