The 99th Divorce

It couldn’t be changed. No matter what she did, how much effort she put in, or how much she loved him, Ou Ming would insist that she harbored ulterior motives.

This had happened once before. This had happened twice. It was now the third time.

“Ou Ming, I must have been f*cking blind!” Yu Lili had no tears. Her eyes were resolute and desolate when she looked at the pathetic man before her and laughed coldly. “Remember your words today, Ou Ming. From today on, I will not come to find you, and you had better not come to find me. Otherwise, I will trample on you the way you trampled on me today. You had better not give me that chance.”

When she was finished, Yu Lili turned around and strode down the stairs. She came face to face with a meaningful expression in Ou Huojin’s eyes. Her heart ached.

She quickly made her way over to the couch to retrieve her handbag and marched out the door. Immediately upon her exit, a sense of peace and serenity came over Yu Lili. There were no waves of crashing emotions that she had expected, nor the all-engulfing pain and sadness she had imagined. Even the tears refused to fall.

Yu Lili stood at the entrance and waited for the old lady to come out. For some reason unknown to her, it was quite a few minutes before the old lady came walking out.

When she saw that Yu Lili was waiting for her, the old lady went up to her and said, “Child, you are a good lady.”

Yu Lili tried hard to force out a smile for Old Mrs. Shen, but her face refused to obey. It was too hard for her to smile.

Old Mrs. Shen looked at Yu Lili, and reached out to gather Yu Lili’s hair behind her shoulders. She said, “Don’t smile if you can’t bring yourself to. Let’s go back.”

“Yeah,” Yu Lili looked down and nodded her head. She led the old lady out to flag for a taxi.

At that exact moment, a taxi stopped in front of them. The “occupied” sign was changed to “vacant.”

Yu Lili and the old lady waited for the passenger in the taxi to get out. Unexpectedly, the passenger turned out to be a familiar figure.

Seeing Yu Lili took Wen Fenglin by surprise.

“Uncle Wen,” Yu Lili said.

Wen Fenglin smiled and nodded his head. His signature dimples appeared in his cheeks, making him seem cheery and friendly. He looked at Yu Lili and was about to say something when he caught sight of the elderly person beside her. He suddenly stiffened.

Similarly, when Old Mrs. Shen saw Wen Fenglin, she paused in her actions. Her eyes were clouded with age, but that didn’t stop them from shooting out daggers toward him. “It’s you!” she said.

“Do you know each other?” Yu Lili asked in surprise. She looked at the old lady, and then turned to look at Wen Fenglin.

Why does it seem as though there is some grudge between them?

Wen Fenglin looked at Old Mrs. Shen and rearranged his features into a smile. He asked, “When did you come to Kingstown? How’s the Capital…”

Old Mrs. Shen looked back at Wen Fenglin. With a darkened expression, she faked a laugh and replied, “Why? Are you going to take me out for a meal after finding out?”

“You haven’t eaten?” Wen Fenglin asked in faint surprise. “Why don’t we…”

“Forget it!” Old Mrs. Shen looked at him and snorted. “Eating with you will take a few years off my life!” With that, she pulled Yu Lili along, opened the car door, and instructed, “Yu Lili, let’s go.”

Before Yu Lili could process what the relationship between the both of them was, she had been pulled into the car by Old Mrs. Shen.

She turned to Wen Fenglin with a smile and apologetic expression before the old lady instructed the driver to head off.

Wen Fenglin watched at the taxi depart in silence with an enigmatic expression in his eyes. “And, we meet again.”
