Chapter 1378 - Too Late
After dinner, Yu Lili slept with Old Mrs. Shen again. As before. Ou Ming, headed to his company’s office in the Capital to rest.
Yu Lili gave Ye Qianqian a call. She seemed to be free since the call was answered very quickly.
“Hey, my beauty, Yu Lili! Didn’t you head out with your husband today? How are you free enough to give me call?” Ye Qianqian stared at the computer, intently clocking in her overtime work.
“Is your sister there?” Yu Lili asked.
“You’re talking about Youyou? She isn’t back yet. Why are you looking for her?” Ye Qianqian checked the time. “It’s only 7 now. Youyou has been coming home a little late these couple of days. I have no idea what she’s been up to.”
“Well… It seems that Shen Luo’an has gone to Kingstown,” Yu Lili said. “If you see your sister, please let her know. He might have gone to Kingstown to seek her out.”
“Eh?” Ye Qianqian sounded a little surprised to hear that. Soon enough, her tone turned flippant as she replied, “Don’t worry. When it comes to Shen Luo’an, he’s likely to look for anyone except my sister. He has plenty of friends. He might have gone to meet one of them. Youyou has changed her mobile number. It’ll be impossible for him to find her.”
Yu Lili’s heart was put at ease when she heard that. “That’s good to hear. I heard that her relationship with Shen Luo’an wasn’t very good. I’ve been in the Capital recently, and I met him. It felt really weird.”
“How so? Did you find him very fierce?” The thought of Shen Luo’an turned Ye Qianqian’s mood sour. “That’s the way he is. I suspect he may be mentally ill. When Ye Youyou was hospitalized, he would just hide behind the door of the room and secretly peek at Youyou from there.”
“Secretly peek?” Yu Lili felt the hair on her skin rise and a wave of disgust. “How is that possible? Isn’t Shen Zhilie perfectly normal? He seems fine. Why would his brother be so weird?”
Yu Lili didn’t dare speak too loudly. She was, after all, in the Shen family home. If she were caught talking bad about one of them so openly, things would get awkward.
Ye Qianqian could tell that she was whispering and replied, “Who knows? Sigh, to think that Shen Zhilie is a psychiatrist. How could he not realize it if his brother is mentally ill?”
“I think even if he did realize it, it’s unlikely that Shen Luo’an would say much to Shen Zhilie since he lives apart from the rest of the family…” Halfway through her sentence, Yu Lili suddenly realized that she was indulging in gossip and quickly changed the topic of conversation topic. “I’ve passed on my intended message. It’s best if you let your sister know about it just in case he goes to cause trouble for her. At least she’ll be mentally prepared. I’m off to shower. Granny is still waiting for me to sleep.”
“Alright. Go on.” Ye Qianqian said. She suddenly broke out in an evil laugh as she joked, “Be careful. Don’t let yourself be taken advantage of by the Granny.”
“D*mn you! You’re thinking too much! I’m hanging up,” Yu Lili said.
“Bye…” Ye Qianqian soon heard the disengaged tone over the phone. She stared at her computer screen and released a sigh as she stretched her back. Soon enough, she picked up her mobile phone and dialed Ye Youyou’s new number.
Ye Youyou seemed busy. It took a few rings before she finally answered the call.
“Hello, Youyou. Where are you?” Ye Qianqian asked.
“I’m about to head back,” Ye Youyou said.
“OK. Right. Lili just gave me a call to tell me that Shen Luo’an seems to have come to Kingstown,” Ye Qianqian said. “Please be careful. It’s possible that he might come to cause you trouble.”
When Ye Youyou heard her words over the phone, her expression turned ugly. Her hand tightened around the phone as she stared ahead at the sinister-looking man in front of her and commented lightly, “Too late…”
