Yu Lili’s words were sharp and vicious, and her tone displayed her obvious disgust.
When Ou Ming heard her, his expression remained bright. With his eyes empty, he stated matter-of-factly, “If I do that, I’ll look like an idiot.”
“You’re not an idiot. You’re a blind man.” Yu Lili put her phone done. With both hands on the table, she said somberly, “This is not a privilege reserved for idiots. The blind possess it too, so you don’t have to worry.”
Ou Ming’s lips tightened. His hand lay limply by his side. He asked, “Can’t you feed me?”
When Yu Lili heard that, she laughed out loud in disbelief as if she had just heard the funniest joke. “Feed you? I’m already paying for your meal and lodging out of consideration for our previous relationship. Mr. Ou, don’t go too far. Otherwise, you’ll really be sleeping on the streets tonight!”
“Then, I’ll sleep on the streets,” Ou Ming said with resignation. His expression remained neutral, but his eyes were turned to Yu Lili as he asked, “Will you accompany me?”
Yu Lili laughed humorlessly. She rolled her eyes and looked out the window.
It was already very late at night. As the most bustling area in the region, the surroundings were still filled with numerous people walking about. The street lamps shined on a number of individuals. Clearly visible by the roadside was a homeless man lying outside the entrance of a closed shop.
“You’re destitute. I’m not. Why should I accompany you?” Yu Lili’s tone was chilling. Her eyes stayed focused outside the window. Her lips curled as she asked, “Look at the state you’re in now. You’re nothing like the Ou Ming of the past. You have no money, you’re blind, and you’re handicapped. And, you still want me to serve you? Why should I?”
Ou Ming’s hand that was lying limply by his side clenched hard. He pursed his lips. His eyes blinked twice, but they remained vacant and unfocused. They no longer shined with the glory of the past or burned with the brightness of times before.
“In the words of your mother and you, I was with you for your money, fame, and power. Now that you’re blind, it’s only a matter of time before your company collapses. I have no interest in being dragged down by you.” Yu Lili’s eyes gradually reddened as she spoke.
Yu Lili looked down, picked up the teacup, and took two full gulps. When the tea reached her throat, it was almost as if it had burned her eyes. She couldn’t control the burning sensation that pricked her eyes as tears began to form silently.
Ou Ming narrowed his eyes unnoticeably and he declared, “You’re not that sort of person.”
“I am,” Yu Lili replied without thinking. She snorted and tucked a stray strand of hair behind her ear with her finger as she announced, almost with a hint of pride, “I was from the beginning. You saw through me, didn’t you?”
Her tone was indifferent, but her tears that glistened couldn’t be controlled. She wiped her eyes and laughed to herself. It was a good thing that Ou Ming could see, otherwise it would be an awkward situation.
She was clearly the one with the upper hand now. Why was she also the one shedding tears?
He clearly didn’t love me. He was just in need of a person to serve his every need. I won’t fall for it again. How despicable can he get?
When he needed her, whatever she said went. When he no longer had any use for her, what did she become?
“Since you’re not eating anymore, let’s go. I don’t have time to waste with you.” Yu Lili picked up her handbag, stood up, and checked the time. “It’s almost midnight. Let’s go.”
