The 99th Divorce

 When Shen Luo’an saw the way Ye Youyou reacted, the intensity of his stare increased. Looking at her, he said, “Are you curious about how I found out?”

“I didn’t do it!” Ye Youyou hollered. “Who wouldn’t want to follow their mother? I wanted to follow my mother, and so did my sister, but I was only five years old then! How could I have known of the complicated situation? Shen Luo’an, don’t you dare project your own thoughts on others. I’m not as despicable as you!”

Shen Luo’an sneered at her. “You’ve been despicable all these years. Don’t you find it hypocritical to be saying this now? Since you were young, you’ve known how to make yourself prettier and how to ingratiate yourself with everyone. Grandmother was right. Women like you are full of bad intentions right from the start, and you were never destined to be a part of our family! It’s no wonder that my grandmother hated you so much.”

When Ye Youyou heard that, her heartbeat sped up and her demeanor went cold. She looked at Shen Luo’an and asked, “You want a divorce?”

“Divorce?” Shen Luo’an snorted. “I would be crazy to initiate a divorce at this juncture. If I did so, I’d be finished for real.” As he spoke, his steps came to a halt.

Shen Luo’an was not as tall as Li Jinnan, standing at approximately 1.8 meters tall. Compared to Ye Youyou, who was in high-heeled shoes, their heights were almost similar.

Both of them stared at each other, and Shen Luo’an continued with his questioning. “Or could it be that you’d like for me to be utterly ruined and shamed?”

Shock passed through Ye Youyou. She looked at him wordlessly, not knowing what to say.

This was what Shen Luo’an thought of her?

“How is that even possible? Shen Luo’an, even if I wanted to get back at someone, it would never be you! I—”

“Stop talking,” Shen Luo’an interrupted her. “Since this is the case, you had better not interfere with whatever happens next. If I discover otherwise, I do not know what I’ll be capable of.”

Having said his piece, Shen Luo’an walked past her, opened the door, and strode out. The door closed with a heavy thud, and Ye Youyou stood frozen on the spot, lost in thought.

Whatever her heart had been hoping for shattered at that very moment. A moan of pain and hopelessness escaped her lips.

He did not believe her, not even a tiny bit. Was this the same Shen Luo’an as before?

Where was the Shen Luo’an who used to smile warmly at her as a youth, who had carried her when she had a fever, and who almost got attacked by wolves when he tried to save her in the forest?

He was gone. As time passed, that young man had disappeared without a trace.

Was this man—this Shen Luo’an—still worthy of her love? This was the first time such a question crossed Ye Youyou’s mind.

Of course, there was no answer.

Ye Youyou’s cell phone rang suddenly, and she fished it out of her handbag to answer it.

It was Mila.

In addition to being her good friend, Mila was also the most sought-after artiste manager working under the NC Corporation.

When the call was answered, Mila’s voice carried a sense of urgency. “Youyou, the fact that you are married has been made public! Everyone now knows that you’re Shen Luo’an’s wife! If there’s no reason to, it’ll be best not to leave the house for a few days. You’ll be mobbed by the paparazzi otherwise!”

“How is that possible? Not many people know of this!”

“I have no idea either. Regardless, just be careful. I’ll have an assistant go over to help you.”

“Got it. Thanks, Mila.”

“Why are you saying thanks? On the other hand, this is also a good opportunity to drum up the hype. Do you know how artistes gain popularity? You should take advantage of this situation…”
