The sound of whimpering coming from upstairs caught Jiao Ziqing's attention. She quickly went up when she heard the sound. When Yu Lili heard her footsteps, she wiped the tears off her face and stood up.
Jiao Ziqing ascended the stairs just in time to see Yu Lili squatting at a corner in tears. She took one look at Yu Lili's tear-stained faced and creased her brows. "What's wrong? Why are you crying?"
"I'm fine." Yu Lili wiped her face and forced a smile. "Auntie, Ou Ming seems to be in a bad mood. May I remain here?"
Remain here outside? Jiao Ziqing's forehead creased in annoyance. The way Yu Lili had phrased her plea didn't sit well with her at all. What was that supposed to imply?
"May I remain here?" clearly meant that Yu Lili was worried that she wouldn't be allowed to squat by the wall. When that sank in, Jiao Ziqing was extremely unhappy.
