The old lady ventured carefully and timidly. "Lili, are you angry?"
When Yu Lili saw how the old lady was acting, the annoyance in her heart evaporated. She couldn't do anything but say to the old lady, "Old Mrs. Shen, you're getting on in years. It'll be better if you stay at home. If anything were to happen to you, you're not the only one who would suffer. Your children and grandchildren will worry about you."
"Is that concern you're showing toward me?" Old Mrs. Shen asked with her eyes opened wide.
Her eyes were clouded with age, but, at this moment, they were filled with childlike hope.
Yu Lili didn't know how to reply. Oh lord, have mercy!
She was just worried that the old lady would end up clinging on to her. Matters would get a lot stickier then if she truly couldn't get rid of her.
