The 99th Divorce
Chapter 1254 - The World Isn’t Fair
Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio
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 cafe.
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…"
