Coincidentally, Wen Fenglin did have a few documents that required his perusal. Only after sitting for a while in the café to finish going through them did he get up to leave.

As he stepped out of the café, he noticed Yu Lili standing by the main entrance of her apartment complex trying to flag a taxi. A taxi came from the opposite direction, and she quickly stopped it.

Wen Fenglin watched her get in the car. He knew immediately where she was headed. As he watched the taxi leave, a smile escaped his lips.

Her words were so full of pretense! She was very much like her.

At the thought of his beloved from many years ago, Wen Fenglin’s expression deepened.

…

By the time Yu Lili reached the hospital, almost 30 minutes had passed. Since it was only the fifth day of New Year, there were fewer people in the hospital than usual.

Ou Ming was considered somewhat a public figure. She knew that if she were to enquire his whereabouts directly from the front desk, she’d never get an answer.

Yu Lili entered and strutted confidently into the VIP ward as if she knew where she was going. Every member of the Ou family had a habit–they treasured sentimental value. She predicted that they would request to be readmitted to Room V8, so she headed in that direction, ready to take that gamble.

When she reached Room V8, it was indeed that room that Ou Ming was in. As she got closer, she overheard a conversation going on inside the room.

“That woman is so evil! Forget about the fact that she caused you to be in this state in the first place, she even had the gall to hit you yesterday…” Jiao Ziqing’s voice was drowned in her own tears. She sounded heartbroken and full of hate.

Jiao Ziqing had never harbored an ounce of good intention toward Yu Lili. Especially after Yu Lili had hit her son the day before, her hatred toward Yu Lili was revved up a notch. Yu Lili was irredeemable in her eyes.

A heart that harbored such evil intentions had to be nipped in the bud.

When Yu Lili heard Jiao Ziqing’s voice and tone, her steps slowed to a stop outside the room door.

Inside, Ou Ming didn’t say a word. Jiao Ziqing spoke up again. “I don’t care if you meant what you said yesterday or not, but since you’ve already broken up with her, you’d better not keep in touch with her anymore! I’ve already done as you asked and had her number blacklisted on your phone. I’ve also removed her from your speed dial. So, from now on, just treat it as if that woman never existed!”

I’ve already done as you asked…

It was Ou Ming who had asked Jiao Ziqing to do so? So, he had not been putting on a show just for Yu Lili’s benefit. He had truly hardened his resolve, even in front of his mother.

For a blind man who couldn’t see anything to have her name blacklisted on his phone… Even if she wanted to contact him in future, it would be impossible. It would be impossible for a blind man to undo the blacklist action on his own. It was even more unlikely for anyone else to help him do it.

Yu Lili remained by the door feeling like a fool. Her heart ached. Whatever intentions she had to go in disappeared into thin air. She no longer desired to enter.

Just as Yu Lili turned to leave, a reply sounded from inside. It was toneless but pierced right into her heart.

“Yeah.” It was Ou Ming.

Yu Lili felt as if her heart had gone up in flames, and the ashes were scattered in the wind.

Evidently, Jiao Ziqing really, really hated her. And, loyalty and filial piety were mutually exclusive. Was this the choice had Ou Ming had made?
