The 99th Divorce

Yu Lili shrugged indifferently with a relaxed smile.

Ye Qianqian felt even more regretful, so she said with guilt on her face, “I’m sorry Lili, I didn’t know. I am so sorry about that.”

Yu Lili felt interested when she saw Ye Qianqian’s look. She reached out her hand and gave Ye Qianqian a light push. “What are you doing? It’s no big deal. I am already used to it. When I was born, my parents threw me at the gate of an orphanage. I’ve survived all these years, so don’t take it too seriously.”

However, Yu Lili’s careless, relaxed, and happy appearance made Ye Qianqian feel even worse.

Since Ye Qianqian was very curious about it, she asked, “Can I ask you some questions? I have been curious about this for a long time!”

“Sure.” Yu Lili took a sip of soup, nodding her head, and said, “Go ahead.”

Ye Qianqian considered her words for a minute before speaking, then she coughed and asked, “First, not to argue with you, I am just curious. Well… That is, how did you survive with no parents? If you live in an orphanage, many people are supposed to adopt children.”

Yu Lili shook her head and said carelessly, “Sure, there were many families who adopted children, but many people in Kingstown would only adopt boys. Why adopt a girl, when it was just a waste of money? At that time, girls were worthless. Even if one or two were adopted, they were just the ones that were very well-behaved. I have been straightforward since I was a child, and since I heard that I would have to serve as a nanny after being adopted, I didn’t want to be adopted anymore. It was better to stay in the orphanage .”

Ye Qianqian nodded with an understanding face and said, “I know. But what a pity for them. If a family had adopted you, they would have been very happy and very fortunate.”

Yu Lili laughed as she ate. “You are wrong, because I have been particularly annoying since I was a child. They said I was very good at camouflage; that is, I did well in playing a double game when I spoke to different people and pretending to be well-behaved. So, the other children all isolated me,” Yu Lili said with some helplessness. “Children are like that. Most of them especially hate the children who are favorited by adults.”

Although many years had passed, many people’s views on Yu Lili hadn’t changed.

Ye Qianqian was more sympathetic.

If an orphan is not well-behaved, who would like the child?

Yu Lili enjoyed the meal, but Ye Qianqian seemed to be staring at her, lost in thought. Yu Lili reached out her hand and said, “Hand me your dishes. Have you never seen a beautiful woman like me?”

Ye Qianqian sighed and said, “I just sympathizing with you, and you… totally ruined all my sympathy by your words.”

“That’s great. I will be more pitiful next time; maybe I can still remember how to beg for candy,” Yu Lili said.

“Nonsense!”

…

After they finished the meal, Ye Qianqian offered to wash the dishes, and Yu Lili went back to the bedroom.

Because Yu Lili slept less last night, she felt kind of sleepy. However, Yu Lili couldn’t fall asleep now, so she turned on the display and picked up her pen to continue painting.

Yu Lili’s door was not closed completely. Ye Qianqian saw that her door was not closed and she shouted, “May I come in?”

Yu Lili didn’t lift her head and said, “Come in.”

Ye Qianqian was surprised when she saw Yu Lili’s digital screen. She said, “You’re using this too? This model is very useful. I also bought one for Li Xiaoyu.”
