Old Mrs. Shen words trailed of again. With a shake of her head, she lamented, “It was such a pity that such a good lady was of such frail health since she was young. There were issues with her kidney and heart. She could never marry since she was unable to be together with a man.”
Yu Lili was a mature adult. Naturally, she understood what Old Mrs. Shen meant.
She was unable to be together with a man…
If it was really as Old Mrs. Shen made it out to be, then based on Wen Fenglin’s character, it would be impossible for anything to result out of his union with Xian’er.
“If not for that face, I would really suspect that you were Xian’er’s daughter,” Old Mrs. Shen said laughingly with kind eyes.
“Do I look very much like her?” Yu Lili asked.
Old Mrs. Shen shook her head and responded, “You don’t look alike physically, but the vibe you emit is quite like hers.” As she said that, she made her way to Yu Lili’s side. “Especially this side profile. It’s almost as if it were Xian’er’s, except that Xian’er was paler than you. You have a healthy and ruddy complexion while hers was pale and colorless.
Yu Lili could imagine what that must have been like.
Old Mrs. Shen sized Yu Lili up with knitted brows. She stroked her chin as she observed her. “From the side, you do look a little alike. But, if one were to look closely, you’re a lot healthier and more comely than she was. Your features look more refined and don’t resemble hers…”
For some unexplainable reason, Yu Lili made the woman feel like she was interacting with Xian’er. It was a familiar feeling. Physically, they didn’t resemble each other. But, the longer the interaction was, the stronger the feeling became.
Old Mrs. Shen made a last comparison and shook her head again. “Nope. You don’t look like her.”
The old lady’s mannerisms made Yu Lili burst out laughing. As she looked at Old Mrs. Shen, that sense of familial emotion increased.
If only she were really my biological grandmother. How nice would that be…
When the thought pa.s.sed through her, Yu Lili’s expression softened a little.
The rays from the setting sun s.h.i.+ned over. The orange sunset reflected off the water surface as the rays of sunlight penetrated through the clouds and bathed everyone in a reddish and orangey glow. It was beautiful and brilliant.
Shen Zhilie stood a little distance away and watch Yu Lili from afar with a smile on his lips and eyes glowing with warmth.
Ye Qianqian squatted by the bridge, watching how fixated Shen Zhilie was with Yu Lili. With a wriggle of her lips, she picked up a stone and threw it toward the lake.
“Let’s go somewhere else, Grandma.” Yu Lili took Old Mrs. Shen’s hand. When she turned around, she was met with Shen Zhilie’s gaze.
Shen Zhilie s.h.i.+fted his gaze quickly without a trace. It was almost as if he had looked over unintentionally.
Yu Lili didn’t pay it any attention either. With the old lady’s hand in hers, she headed for the exit. She didn’t notice the somewhat strange look that Ye Qianqian threw her way from behind.
After some time, the few of them had a meal together and returned to the hotel. Yu Lili and Ye Qianqian were both females, so they shared a room. The old lady and Shen Zhilie stayed together in another room.
Yu Lili had Ye Qianqian shower first. While waiting, she lounged on the bed and began scrolling through Weibo. Just as she was laughing at a short video clip, a call rang and interrupted her video.
It was an unknown number, but the calling code revealed that it was from the city she was in.
Who could it be?
Yu Lili’s first thought was that it was a prank caller. Even after numerous rings, the phone call did not cut off. She finally picked it up. “h.e.l.lo?”
“This is the XX District Police Station. Is this Miss Yu? Please come pick up your boyfriend!”
