Chapter 1176: Happy Birthday, Yu Lili

Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio

In that long moment, Yu Lili felt very much like a stray dog drenched in the middle of a downpour–lowly and rejected. She wasn’t in front of them, but her emotions were no less raw and intense.

Her steps of departure quickened. Her head was bowed. She didn’t dare look back and left as speedily as she could.

Inside the room, Jiao Ziqing was surprised at Ou Ming’s answer and asked, “Really? You’re agreeing with me?”

Ou Ming’s eyes were empty and lifeless as they stared blankly ahead without any focus. In fact, if one didn’t pay too much attention, it could even be said that his eyes were like those of a life-like doll.

“You’re my mother. Whatever you say, I’ll do. In any case, it not like I have the right to make any of my own decisions in front of you, right?” Ou Ming stared blankly ahead and smiled bitterly. He looked utterly helpless. At the same time, it was clear how dejected he was feeling.

When Jiao Ziqing heard that, she was taken aback. She didn’t know what to say. After a few moments of silence, she finally asked, “Are you still blaming me?”

“You’re my mother. I dare not blame you,” Ou Ming said.

Such words, spoken aloud, made a chilling answer.

Jiao Ziqing’s heartbeat quickened. She looked at Ou Ming and said earnestly, “Everything I do is for your own good. What’s so good about that woman that you’d insist on her time and time again? Will you only be satisfied after she has driven you to your death? You’re my son! I will never harm you!”

Yeah. It was all for my own good.

She was his mother. She would never intentionally harm him. It was precisely this sort of love, and this sort of kindness, that was driving him crazy. They were all doing it for his own good. So, why couldn’t he just listen to them?

They were all doing it for his own good. Therefore, he didn’t have any right to make any decision for himself. Everything had been done for the grand purpose of his own good.

The bitter smile on Ou Ming’s lips widened. “Understood. In any case, I’m already blind and don’t want to be a burden to her. So, I might as well let her go. Now that we’ve broken up, she can find a better partner. I am not the only man in the world after all.”

But, there is only one Yu Lili in the world.

Ou Ming laid back down, pulled the covers over himself, and turned to lie on his side.

When Jiao Ziqing heard that, she was even more convinced that Ou Ming was still bewitched. Looking at him on the bed, she was so annoyed that she couldn’t resist stomping her foot. At the same time, she was at a loss of what else to say.

She stared at her son for a long while and slowly started to doubt whether what she had done was right or wrong. She finally said, “There will come a day when you will finally understand my effort and intentions. You’re not the only man in the world, but you’re my only son. I cannot allow her to bring you any harm!”

That woman is nothing good. She needed to be gotten rid of!

After making that statement, Jiao Ziqing was reassured of the rightness of her own actions. With a stomp of her foot, she turned around and walked out.

When Ou Ming heard the footsteps disappearing into the distance, he opened his eyes. All he could see was an image resembling a fiery-red Yu Lili smiling widely.

It was the fifth day of New Year. Twenty-five years ago, this day had seen one of the harshest winters to cross Kingstown.

Twenty-five years ago, the once-in-a-blue-moon snow appeared in Kingstown and a kind orphanage director had saved a newborn baby and named her Yu Lili.

“Happy birthday, Yu Lili.”
