The 99th Divorce

“Maybe the patient has been under a lot pressure. Has the patient been experiencing a lot lately? According to the current situation, the elderly may have high blood pressure caused by excessive mental stress. You family members should make the patient feel much more relaxed. Why do you let the elderly bear so much pressure instead? From now on, the patient cannot bear stimulation, nor make blind and disorderly conjectures anymore. You family members should pay attention to these points,” the doctor said.

…

The doctor’s words made everyone feel a little bit confused.

Grandpa has made great achievements and has a great reputation, he also lives in clover in his life. It is reasonable that he should enjoy his life now. Why is he still under such pressure?

Su Qianci could not understand grandpa’s anxiety, so she asked Li Sicheng if he knew the reason. In fact, Li Sicheng had roughly understood what Grandpa had been thinking. So he answered, “I guess it’s because of the Tangs.”

“What? Tangs? ” Su Qianci felt a little surprised, but soon she figured it out. The Tangs and the Lis had been neighbors for generations, and they had been old family friends for a long time. Actually, Old Master Li and Old Master Tang had maintained a fairly good relationship. But when it came to the generation of Tang Zhenghao and Li Yao, the relationship between the Tangs and the Lis was not good anymore.

Before Master Tang’s death, they had promised each other that they would treat each other’s descendants well. But now the Tangs’ situation was… Old Master Tang had only one son named Tang Zhenghao, whose son had died since more than a decade ago. Not only were there no men in the Tangs, but even the women surnamed Tang were dead. Such a situation undoubtedly went against the promise between Master Li and Master Tang.

Maybe that’s why… Grandpa’s got stress.

Su Qianci felt as if she had thought about it, but when she asked Li Sicheng, he just kept silent.

It was afternoon when Old Master Li woke up.

Su Qianci tried to get some information from grandpa and found that what Grandpa had been thinking was almost the same as her guess.

Grandpa looked very pale and haggard in his face, seemingly a little older than yesterday. He sighed heavily and said, “I know there are few Tangs alive now, but I still killed Tang Mengying myself. I don’t know how to face my old fellow when I meet him after I die, he would hate me so much.”

His tone was full of self-reproach and guilt, which made Su Qianci moved, and she quickly interrupted him: “Grandpa, take it easy, okay…”

“Qianqian,” Grandpa Li raised his eyes to look at her and said, “Can you help me call Yihan here?”

“Yihan?” Su Qianci was stunned. She never imagined that her grandpa would suddenly talk about Lu Yihan.

The elderly nodded, then lowered his guilty eyes and said, “I’m sorry for that kid. Qianqian, you ask him to come over here, I have to apologize to him face to face…” It had been him who had given the hope to that kid. If Lu Yihan never had been abetted by him, he would not even dare to think about it. He thought Li Sicheng was dead, so he did such thing… He had done too many evils.

“Grandpa, just a moment, please. I’ll call him right now.” Su Qianci patted his hand lightly to show her comfort. Then she picked up her mobile phone and dialed Lu Yihan’s telephone number.

There was a kind of people who would not go to somebody’s place except on business or for help. It was more than twelve o’clock that noon, and Lu Yihan was enjoying his lunch. Suddenly he received a message from Yu Lili, whose name he hadn’t seen for a long time.

[Yu Lili] Hello, Lu Yihan?

[Lu Yihan]: What’s wrong

[Yu Lili] : [Voice] ( Can you lend me some money?)

[Yu Lihan]: I know who you are. How much do you wanna borrow?

[Yu Lili] : 200,000 yuan

200,000 yuan, which is neither too much nor too little.

Just after she typed out this number, she was in a mixed mood. Yu Lili was afraid of both his refusal and inquiry. After all, in his mind, her image had not been good anymore.

Would he think I was trying to cheat his money? Would he despise me?
