“I don’t know. All I know now is that you’re not that woman’s daughter,” Ou Ming said. “I took a strand of your hair for a DNA test. It’s confirmed that you’re not her daughter.”

Yu Lili was a little disappointed, but she knew the implications and didn’t speak further.n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

“After we’ve settle my mom, we’ll go and check that out,” Ou Ming said.

Yu Lili nodded her head. She still harbored many expectations and ideas about what her parents would be like.

The taxi arrived at the destination soon enough. Yu Lili paid the fare and got out. She proceeded to walk with Ou Ming to the venue that Wen Fenglin had informed them about.

It was the dream of every artist, regardless of their genre, to register their name at The Art Association. Yu Lili was no exception. Taking in the majestic-looking entrance, she felt a keen sense of yearning in her heart. This was a good place. Everyone wanted to come.

She gave Wen Fenglin a call. He was currently in the midst of taking tea and having a conversation. When he received the call, he came out immediately to usher Yu Lili and Ou Ming in.

When they entered, they discovered that there were many people milling around. Yu Lili had never been fond of such settings and events. Furthermore, it seemed that Ou Ming was acquainted with many of those present.

The moment they entered, many people recognized Ou Ming and called out, “Is that you, Ou Ming?”

“It’s indeed Ou Ming! What happened to you hand?”

“What happened to your eyes?”

Ou Ming continued pretending to be blind. After all, many of the people present were old friends of Jiao Ziqing and Ou Huojin. It was a small world. If word of his recovery got out, Ou Ming wouldn’t be able to keep up the blind act in front of Jiao Ziqing any longer.

While everyone was asking about Ou Ming, they didn’t neglect to tease Yu Lili.

She was worried that Ou Ming would give something away and quickly made up an excuse to leave as soon as possible.

“Hold on,” the voice of a young man rang out, stopping Ou Ming and Yu Lili in their tracks. “Since you’re already here, why don’t you take a seat? My father isn’t here yet.”

Yu Lili turned her head, and found herself facing a young man a little old than 20. His features weren’t striking, but he had a clean and pleasant disposition.

Wen Fenglin hurried over to ease the situation and said, “Xiao Zhen, Xiao Ou is not feeling too well. Let him rest now.”

Yu Lili wasn’t well-versed in dealing with situations like this. It was clear she wasn’t a frequent attendee at such events.

Wen Fenglin was able to identify her unease with one look and chose to put her out of her misery. Zhen Li refused to let them off the hook. He looked at Yu Lili with both eyes and stated, “I find this young lady very familiar-looking. Have we met somewhere before?”

Yu Lili felt very awkward when she heard that.

On the other hand, when Ou Ming heard that, his face darkened. He pulled Yu Lili over to his side, answering on her behalf, “I don’t think so. I’ve never brought her here before.”

Ou Ming’s animosity was obviously displayed. Zhen Li felt his face burn. He said, “That’s not my intention. I really find her very familiar-looking. I wasn’t trying to chat her up.”

Yu Lili felt that Ou Ming’s reaction had been too extreme and tugged back at him. She reached out and patted his back before whispering to him, “Talk nicely!”

They were here as Uncle Wen’s guests. They couldn’t do anything that would possibly embarrass him.

Yu Lili looked at Zhen Li with a smile and replied, “Perhaps it was from the news recently. The situation between Ou Ming and I was a pretty hot topic. You might have seen my photo around somewhere.”

That was probably the case, but Zhen Li wasn’t convinced. Yet, he couldn’t recall where exactly he had seen her before. At the moment, he had no choice but to smile back at her and reply, “That’s probably it.”
