Chapter 1299: 1299

After that, it was as if Yu Lili’s luck had decided to change . She just wouldn’t stop winning . At the end of the game, the other ladies were all out of energy and luck .

“I’m not playing anymore!” Qiao Meng pushed the tiles away in annoyance .

“I guess luck is really something not to be given away,” Jiao Ziqing said . “Look, the moment you gave Yu Lili a chance, your luck changed for the worse . ”

Yu Lili felt bad about losing, but she didn’t feel good winning either . When she heard that, she said, “I only won because of good luck, but my skills are nowhere near yours . ”

“What skills are there to speak of?” Jiao Ziqing said . “This game is all about luck!”

“Forget it . It’s getting late . I’m going to go home and pretend that I’m preparing dinner . You all can continue without me,” Zhuang Yunhua said before taking her leave .

Following that, the others began to leave one after the other .

Jiao Ziqing sighed and commented, “You blame it on luck every time you lose . It’s clearly a case of a lack of skills!”

Her statement stirred up the ire of everyone else present .

Yu Lili couldn’t hold back her smile .

Jiao Ziqing’s face was full of smug satisfaction as she announced, “We’ll play again next time . We’re heading home, too . Bye!”

They left quickly . Yu Lili followed Jiao Ziqing to the car park . On her way, she realized that she had forgotten the car keys . They were probably left in the room upstairs .

Jiao Ziqing had already walked a far distance ahead in her stiletto shoes . Yu Lili wanted to call out to her, but no words came out . What was she to address her as? Auntie? Mom?

Yu Lili quickened her pace and neared the distance . She ventured, “Well…”

Jiao Ziqing continued ahead and didn’t stop .

Yu Lili tried again . “Well… Auntie, I forgot to grab the car keys…” Her voice was clear and reverberated around the empty car park .

Still, Jiao Ziqing’s step didn’t slow . It was as if she hadn’t heard her at all .

Yu Lili was sure that her voice had been loud enough . How was it possible that Jiao Ziqing hadn’t heard her?

Could it be that Ou Ming’s mother can’t recognize my voice?

That thought made Yu Lili feel unsettled . She chased up and called out again, “Well…”

Jiao Ziqing suddenly stopped in her tracks and turned to look at Yu Lili . She asked, “Whom were you speaking to this whole way?”

Yu Lili was stunned and replied, “You!”

“Me? Are you sure?” Jiao Ziqing looked sullen .

Yu Lili started to feel exasperated as she wrecked her head wondering what she had done to offend this female despot again .

Jiao Ziqing betrayed a hint of annoyance as she asked, “What did you call me?”

The surprise hit Yu Lili even harder . In a small voice, she ventured, “Mom…”

“What now?” Jiao Ziqing was brimming with impatience . “Speak louder!”

Jiao Ziqing’s tone was fierce, but Yu Lili’s heart was soaring with happiness . Her face broke out in a grin as she said, “The car keys are upstairs . I forgot to grab them . ”

Jiao Ziqing harrumphed and replied, “Kingdom would have come by the time I waited for you to remember!” With that, she tossed the keys over . “You’ll drive!”

Yu Lili caught the keys . They were indeed the car keys .

Once Jiao Ziqing had tossed the keys, she turned to get into the car . The image of her back was beautiful . She looked elegant and aloof .

Yu Lili was so elated she could feel the emotion lifting her up . Excitement filled her . She happily called out to Jiao Ziqing’s back, “I’m coming!”

Many times, a person’s mood could hinge on a minute incident . But, this supposedly minute incident wasn’t minute to Yu Lili at all .

After preparing and partaking in dinner, Yu Lili helped Nanny Zhang with the dishes . She was looking forward to returning to her room the entire time .

When she was finally alone with Ou Ming, she pounced on him excitedly and yelled out, “Ou Ming!”
