The 99th Divorce

He knew well that she wouldn’t be able to sit back and do nothing. He knew well that it was impossible for her to ignore him.

He was clearly the one who initiated the breakup. He was the one who had chased her away. He was the one who had accused her of having her eye on his family’s wealth. How could he now be so self-entitled as to appear here and leech off her now?

He hadn’t even changed his clothes or brought a chaperone along.

One look and Yu Lili could tell that even the quilted jacket Ou Ming was wearing wasn’t his. With just a thin pair of pajamas, he had come looking for her.

Didn’t he find that awkward? Wasn’t such an action shameless beyond measure?

Yu Lili looked at him hatefully and spat out, “I’m going to give your mother a call and have her come to pick you up.” As she spoke, she picked up her cell phone and began scrolling through her contact list.

What no one expected was for Ou Ming to suddenly get up and swipe the phone out of her hands. The phone fell onto the floor with a thud.

Yu Lili’s eyes widened in anger at the person in front of her. She berated him, “This is a police station! You are causing damage to my personal property!” As she spoke, she picked her phone up and turned to face the police officers. “Sirs, you have all witnessed it. Please keep him here with you. I will give his mother a call. I’m leaving.”

Ou Ming still didn’t say a word. But, he went up to her. With his uninjured arm, he tried to reach for Yu Lili’s hand.

Yu Lili’s eyes were sharp, and her hands were agile. She avoided Ou Ming. All he managed to grasp onto was her down jacket. Once the jacket was in his grasp, he refused to let go.

“Hey, are you crazy? Let go!” Yu Lili’s one hand held on to her cell phone while her other hand tried to push him away. Ou Ming’s strength overpowered her, so she was unable to remove him.

Yu Lili’s temper rose. In the moment, she had never felt more that this man was shameless and unreasonable. With the phone still in her hand, she began pounding on his hand as she yelled, “Let go! Let go! Let go!”

Ou Ming’s hand had already been numb from the cold. The few blows to his hand caused them to turn an angry red. No matter how Yu Lili hit him, he didn’t make a single sound.

“You’re shameless! Why are you as a man, clinging on to a woman like this? Let go!” Yu Lili couldn’t take it anymore and began to holler as her blows got stronger. “Ou!”

Judging from the situation, the policemen who had initially assumed it was nothing more than a lover’s spat between the couple began to sense that something was amiss. They quickly ran up to stop the drama and pull Ou Ming away, warning Yu Lili along the way, “Miss, this is a police station. You cannot hit a handicapped person!”

Handicapped person…

Those two words were even more hurtful. Yu Lili clearly saw the jolt in Ou Ming’s actions and the shift in his expression.

Without an ounce of satisfaction, Yu Lili felt her anger boil over and turned to glare at the policeman who had said that. She roared, “Whom are you calling a handicapped person? How does such a grown man look handicapped at all? He’s only temporarily blind!”

That tirade shocked the policeman. He looked at Yu Lili as if she was mad.

What on earth is going on? Isn’t this a handicapped person? He is blind, and his arm was broken!

The police officer chose instead of grab onto what Yu Lili had just said and asked, “Didn’t you say that he wasn’t your boyfriend? You look pretty close to me!”

When Yu Lili heard that, she had no reply.

The police officer knew that he could make her take Ou Ming away. “How big a grudge do you have that you used your cell phone to hit him? Look! Your boyfriend’s hand is all bruised already!”
