The 99th Divorce

Yu Lili’s voice was filled with heartfelt gratitude.

Wen Fenglin’s eyes weren’t exactly huge. He looked at her from behind his black-rimmed glasses and explained sincerely, “Young Lady, you need to keep your wits about you. Ou Ming isn’t doing too well now, and Xiao Jiao suffers from mild paranoia. It’s very hard for people to change her mind regarding something that she firmly believes in. I’m not sure what happened between you and her, but Xiao Jiao is a mother. She’s acting this way also because she wants what’s best for her son. I hope you can understand that. It’s just a mother’s protectiveness over her son. It’s not personal.”

When Yu Lili heard these words that were clearly justifying Jiao Ziqing’s actions, she found it laughable.

But she simply looked up into Wen Fenglin’s single-lidded eyes and nodded her head. “Thank you.”

Wen Fenglin’s face revealed a smile accompanied by two deep dimples, making him seem much warmer and friendlier. “You’re welcome. Go back and have a rest. She’ll leave later. When they leave, I’ll call you over.”

When they leave, I’ll call you over…

Looking at the man whose age was close to that of Ou Ming’s mother, Yu Lili felt a lump in her throat, and tears stung her eyes. She wanted to smile, but the muscles on her face refused to listen.

The initial affection Yu Lili felt towards this person had now blossomed into full-blown gratitude.

Yu Lili’s lips turned down uncontrollably, and she bowed her head in embarrassment. All she could manage was to speak in a whisper, “Thank you. Thank you…”

Jiao Ziqing would be guarded against Li Sicheng and Su Qianci since she knew that they had close interaction with her, but not towards Wen Fenglin.

Under the current circumstances, as Jiao Ziqing’s good friend, Wen Fenglin was, without a doubt, the best person to be able to say that. As long as he was willing to help her, she’d probably be able to see Ou Ming.

But why was Wen Fenglin willing to help her?

Wen Fenglin’s smile deepened and, he looked at Yu Lili with affection. “You’re a good child. Give me your cell number.”

Yu Lili quickly fished out her phone but then remembered that her cell had died.

Looking at her turned-off phone, Yu Lili mumbled, “The battery’s dead.”

“Hold on to this then,” said Wen Fenglin as he took out a black phone from his pocket and handed it to Yu Lili. The phone still looked new. “I’ll contact you in a while.”

Yu Lili looked at Wen Fenglin in shock.

Wen Fenglin placed his hand by his lips and commented, “Hey, my time for smoking is up.” With that, he shoved the phone into Yu Lili’s hand and made his way into Ou Ming’s ward.

Li Sicheng and Su Qianci witnessed the exchange between Wen Fenglin and Yu Lili and spoke to Yu Lili gently, “Let’s hide out somewhere first. We’ll come again when he contacts you.”

Yu Lili pulled her focus back to the present and nodded in response.

Li Sicheng draped his own coat over Su Qianci and followed the two women from behind. Together, they found a resting lounge.

After approximately ten minutes, Li Sicheng’s and Su Qianci’s phones started ringing off the hook. Their family and children were asking them to go home.

It was the first day of the New Year, and the Li family was supposed to spend it happily together. But here they were in the hospital accompanying her…

Yu Lili began to feel a little embarrassed about the situation and said, “Qianqian, I think you should go back. I can wait here on my own.”
