The 99th Divorce

The Weibo post had been uploaded by her. If she didn’t delete it, it could only mean that the authorities had deleted it. But, wasn’t it too late to delete the Weibo post?

Yu Lili clicked on Weibo’s trending page and looked through it. Almost all traces of the post had been deleted.

Ha! What a cover-up of a guilty conscience this was!

On the other hand, Yu Lili wasn’t stupid enough to log back into that account. It was probably under surveillance by now. If she logged back in, she’d be flagged and tracked before she knew what hit her.

Based on her own skills, Yu Lili did not possess the confidence to be able to escape digital detection. She did a quick search of the account name. A 404 error page turned up expectedly. Immediately after, a nagging feeling that something was amiss crept into Yu Lili.

All major media outlets had started to generate new content about a certain celebrity embroiled in a drug scandal. With one scroll, the screen was covered with the celebrity’s name.

Yu Lili quickly scrolled back to the top of the trending page. The transition had occurred at a pace that caught Yu Lili off guard.

They wanted to change the topic and shift the focus, but the topic came too soon. Without a doubt, it must have been Shen Luo’an’s doing.

Yu Lili scrolled the page down and realized that the news involving Shen Luo’an and Shen Manting had been completely replaced. Everyone’s attention had been shifted onto the celebrity’s drug scandal.

However, the person whom the post was meant for had probably seen it by now and had probably heard it all. Furthermore, Yu Lili had a backup copy; she knew it’d come in handy sooner or later.

Ye Youyou had an apartment in Kingstown. It wasn’t big, just the right size for one person. Since Shen Manting was holding her wedding in Kingstown, it became a temporary residence for others, including Shen Luo’an, Shen Manting, the maid, and Nanny Zhang.

At this hour, Nanny Zhang was probably in the hospital taking care of Shen Manting. That meant that Shen Luo’an would be alone in the apartment.

Had it been some other time, Ye Youyou would have been elated to know that. Now, there was an inexplicable heaviness in her heart.

When Ye Youyou reached home, it was already past 10 p.m. She was uneasy as she felt for her keys and opened the door.

The light in the living room was switched off. Darkness blanketed the place. Ye Youyou had good night vision and could see clearly even in the extreme dark.

After taking a look around, she was about to feel for the light switch when a figure stood up in front of the couch. Ye Youyou took a step back in shock and switched on the light at the same time. “Who’s there?”

The light came on. Ye Youyou saw the figure in front of her. It was a man dressed in a green sweater standing tall and straight with a dark expression.

Shen Luo’an walked toward Ye Youyou. Each step was slow and steady.

When she saw that it was Shen Luo’an, Ye Youyou did not experience a sense of relief. Instead, she felt an unspeakable sense of dignity coupled with nervousness.

“Luo… Luo’an,” Ye Youyou called out, looking toward Shen Luo’an. “Why didn’t you switch on the light?”

Shen Luo’an did not answer. He walked up to her. His face was gloomy as he said, “Hand over the recording!”

When Ye Youyou heard that, she replied immediately, “I don’t have it!”

“Are you telling me that you weren’t outside eavesdropping on our conversation this afternoon?” Shen Luo’an laughed coldly and stepped even closer. “Ye Youyou, do you think I’m an idiot?”

“I don’t have the recording,” Ye Youyou said. “This wasn’t done by me!”
