Yu Lili bent her head instinctively and gave Su Qianci's coat a sniff. The light fragrance was very pleasant. When she saw how serious Ou Ming was, she took it off.

Wen Fenglin observed them and gave out a light sigh. "Seeing the both of you reminds me of my younger days. Twenty years ago, I was an impoverished artist whose head was filled with thoughts of revenge and empty ideals. If I had had a girl that was as resolute as you, I wouldn't have ended up in the state I am in now."

He laughed for a moment before continuing. "Lassie, given the current situation, Xiao Jiao will never accept you. I have an idea. Why don't you hear me out?"

"An idea?" Yu Lili looked at Wen Fenglin in surprise.

In contrast, Ou Ming heard turned his head over and asked, "What idea is that?"

"An idea to have Xiao Jiao beg you to be with Ou Ming," Wen Fenglin said.

…

Even since the matter between Shen Luo'an and Shen Manting had been revealed, Ye Youyou hadn't returned to the Shen family. Nobody in the family had mentioned her name again.

Old Mrs. Shen sat at the head of the dining table in the Shen family home. Beside her was Shen Longyue, followed by Mrs. Shen, Shen Luo'an, Shen Manting, and Shen Zhilie. There was no one else.

Customarily, the first day of the New Year was eventful and festive. The whole family would come together to celebrate. This year, the atmosphere was inexplicably eerie.

The expression on Old Mrs. Shen's face wasn't pleasant. No one else at the table dared to pick up their chopsticks.

Shen Longyue cleared her throat uncomfortably and said, "Mom, it's time to eat."

"I don't feel like eating," Old Mrs. Shen spat out. Like a child, she yelled, "I don't want to eat. I want to see that girl!"

"Which girl?" Shen Longyue asked.

"Shen Yinyue!" Old Mrs. Shen yelled.

Hearing that name, everyone at the table went silent.

Shen Longyue explained helplessly, "Mom, that child died a long time ago. Have you forgotten?"

"Who said she died? She isn't dead!" Old Mrs. Shen started to get angry. She stood up and said, "I am going to Kingstown! I am going to Kingstown to see her. She is now not called Shen Yinyue but Yu Lili. I'm going to find her and have her name changed back!"

"Mom…" Shen Longyue's head started to ache. "Two years ago, you identified the 13-year-old granddaughter of our neighbor as Shen Yinyue. Five years ago, you identified Miss Gao from the neighboring alley as Shen Yinyue as well. Who is Yu Lili now?"

"It's the woman who saved Grandma," Shen Zhilie said. "Remember when Grandma insisted on staying in Kingstown and refused to return to the Capital? She was the one that Grandma kept pestering. Ahem, she's also Ou Ming's girlfriend."

Shen Longyue wrinkled her brows when she heard that and said to the Old Matriarch, "Alright, Mom. We'll go after the New Year, OK?"

"No. We have to bring her back to spend the New Year with us," Old Mrs. Shen said. "She's been spending her New Year's days alone for so many years. How can I allow her to spend it alone again this year? I need to bring her back!"

"Grandma, I know where she is. Be good and finish your food. I'll have her come to the Capital later to visit you, OK?" Shen Zhilie walked over and supported his grandmother by her arm. "She even almost became my girlfriend. I'll definitely be able to bring her back."

"What a capable lad! How good you are with the ladies! If that young lady could be my granddaughter-in-law, how good that would be," Old Mrs. Shen said as she clapped her hands in glee. "Quickly give her a call!"

Shen Zhilie was speechless.

Oh my god, if they were really together, wouldn't that be incestuous?
