When Yu Lili heard that, she knew right away that the statement had been intended for her ears . She lowered her eyes to the coffee table with her hands clasped together .
He was eating and sleeping well, and was in a pretty good mood . Shouldn't she have been happy upon hearing that? Unexplainably, Yu Lili's heart was filled with unspeakable pain . To think that his mood improved considerably after he broke up with her, how could that be possible? She couldn't bring herself to believe it .
Judging from how unperturbed Jiao Ziqing was acting, she didn't seem to have any worry for her son whatsoever . In fact, she looked downright relaxed .
Old Mrs . Shen squinted her eyes and replied, "Is that so? That's great to hear . I was worried that something serious had happened to your son . After all, the betrothal agreement between your family and mine hasn't been called off yet . In the future, our families are going to become in-laws . I have no wish for my granddaughter to marry a handicapped person . "

This declaration was so blunt it made everyone present feel awkward .
All Yu Lili felt was the pain of a knife right through her heart . In that moment, it was as if everything happening around her had nothing to do with her at all .
The engagement between Shen Manting and Ou Ming had not been called off? So, all along, their engagement had never been called off? Even after such a scandal broke out between Shen Luo'an and Shen Manting, the engagement between the two families still hadn't been broken off?
Yu Lili found it hard to believe . But, the expressions on the faces of Jiao Ziqing and Ou Huojin told her what she needed to know . It was true .

Jiao Ziqing felt a little awkward and said, "Grandmother-in-law, how could you say that? Our son…"
"Are you telling me your son really became a handicapped person?" Old Mrs . Shen narrowed her eyes and demanded sharply .
Jiao Ziqing choked on her words . Neither "yes" nor "no" seemed to be the right answer .
Ou Ming's current situation was indeed pretty bad . Not only had he lost his sense of sight, he had also broken his arm . For someone to use the word "handicap," how was she as his parent supposed to react to it?

Yu Lili quietly tugged on Old Mrs . Shen's sleeve and said in a lowered voice, "Grandma, Ou Ming is very well . "
"What does 'very well' mean? Was what you said true? Can he see anymore?" Old Mrs . Shen had no intention of hiding anything . She shrilly said, "Doesn't that mean he's blind? How is that different from a handicapped person? My granddaughter cannot marry someone like that!"
"Old Mrs . Shen," the voice of a young man rang out from the second story . The voice was cold and unhappy enough to send shivers down one's spine .
A ripple of emotion passed through Yu Lili when she looked toward the source of the sound and saw Ou Ming in pajamas .
His hand was bound in a cast that hung around his neck . His eyes stared blankly ahead, like that of a lifeless doll .
"If you're here to see if I'm truly handicapped, you've now seen it . It's as you said . I'm blind and handicapped . You may return home now," Ou Ming said . "As for Shen Manting, what makes you so confident that I would still want to marry a woman with as bad a reputation as her? I certainly don't want a woman who's been having an affair with her brother!"
Yu Lili hadn't said a word out loud from the moment she stepped into the house . Ou Ming knew that Old Mrs . Shen hadn't come alone . When he heard her refer to her granddaughter, he automatically assumed the other person was Shen Manting .
When Yu Lili looked upon the messy yet proud-standing figure above, a myriad of complex emotions filled her heart .
