The 99th Divorce

“Am I not taking responsibility?” Shen Luo’an stopped in his tracks and chuckled mirthlessly at Ye Qianqian.

Ye Qianqian’s fury boiled over as she shouted, “In what world is this considered taking responsibility? Ye Youyou is lying inside!”

“It’s not like I caused her to lie inside. What’s the use of losing your temper at me?” Shen Luo’an answered with righteous indignation, looking not one bit guilty.

Sensing the eyes of curious bystanders on them, the expression on Shen Luo’an’s face turned into one of surprise. He smiled humorlessly. His eyes were cold and hard.

It didn’t feel at all like he was dealing with his wife. He didn’t even treat her as a friend. The emotions he displayed, in fact, were far more suited toward someone whom he hated and despised.

“I will foot the hospital bills,” he said. “If you don’t want to care for her, I can hire someone to do it. You just have to tell me.”

Ye Qianqian was at a loss of what to say. To think that this was the attitude a husband displayed when his wife was severely injured…

When Shen Luo’an saw that she wasn’t speaking, he turned around and quickly left.

His form was elegant, and he was tall. The image of his back alone was enough to mesmerize.

But, why was this happening? The man Youyou loved wasn’t supposed to be like that.

Ye Qianqian turned distractedly toward the hospital ward. After the doctor and nurses were done with their checks, they gave Ye Qianqian a few relevant instructions and left.

Ye Youyou fell asleep once again with tears pooling at the corner of her eyes and flowing down her face pale.

Ye Qianqian’s heart ached for her sister. Suddenly, her phone rang. She gave a sound of surprise and rushed out of the room to answer it.

It was Shen Zhilie. When she saw whom the caller was, Ye Qianqian felt a wave anger wash over her.

Shen Luo’an and Shen Zhilie. Those two men were brothers.

Answering the call with a huff, Ye Qianqian’s word of greeting wasn’t pleasant. “What do you want?”

Shen Zhilie was bewildered at Ye Qianqian’s tone. After a moment of shock, he asked, “How is my sister-in-law? Is it severe?”

When Ye Qianqian heard the question, she burst out in livid laughter. “So, you still acknowledge her as your sister-in-law? Do you know what you sister-in-law just went through? Do you know what that brother of yours just said to me? Why are the members of the Shen family so difficult? At least you’re still barely human, but why is your brother like that? Damn! Scum of the earth! Loser! B*stard! Beast! Douchebag!”

Once Ye Qianqian started her tirade, the anger began to build up until she couldn’t contain it any longer. She stomped her foot hard and yelled out, “It’s so infuriating!”

Shen Zhilie bore the brunt of Ye Qianqian’s unjust anger. At the same time, he strangely found her cute.

He couldn’t resist laughing. Unfortunately, that attracted even more of Ye Qianqian’s ire. She asked, “What the h*ll are you laughing it at, B*stard! You’re nothing good either!”

“Hey hey hey! It’s fine if you scold my brother. But, what you’re doing now is implicating the innocent! What did I do? I’ve been wrongly accused!” Shen Zhilie cried out in grievance. “What happened? How is my sister-in-law doing now?”

Angrily, Ye Qianqian recounted everything that happened with Ye Youyou and her full exchange with Shen Luo’an, including his attitude, to him. The more she spoke of it, the angrier she became, to the extent that she wanted to claw at the wall.

When Shen Zhilie heard it, he cleared his throat and said, “My brother has never really loved my sister-in-law, that’s why…”

That’s why he said such things. He wasn’t surprised by it at all.

“If he didn’t love her, he shouldn’t have married her! To marry her and not take responsibility, isn’t that utterly perverse?” Ye Qianqian’s anger flared up again. “He’s even worse than an animal!”
