The 99th Divorce

The contempt and disdain in that statement rendered Jiao Ziqing speechless.

How can that woman deign to make demands of me? Who does she think she is? What does she think she is?

Jiao Ziqing was infuriated. Just as she was about to say more, Yu Lili hung up the phone.

Jiao Ziqing was so furious she stomped her foot. In her lifetime, this was the only woman who had ever dared to scold her to her face. But, at least her son had been found.

In a flurry, Jiao Ziqing called her husband. All the time she was cursing Yu Lili a thousand times over inwardly.

Unexpectedly, Ou Huojin didn’t have much of a reaction. “I got it. I’ve already sent someone to bring him back. Don’t worry. Go to bed.”

Jiao Ziqing started to panic and cried out, “How can I fall asleep when my son isn’t back yet?”

“It’s fine. I asked Lao Wen to go,” Ou Huojin said. “You trust Lao Wen, don’t you?”

Jiao Ziqing had nothing to say when she heard that, but she refused to give up. “Do you know who gave me the news of our son?”

“Who?” her husband asked.

“That woman! Yu Lili,” Jiao Ziqing ground out. “What on earth was that woman trying to do when she conned our son to go all the way there?”

When Ou Huojin heard that, he sighed helplessly. “Xiao Jiao, you’ve maligned that young lady. Her calls to our son can’t even be connected. How could she have conned him to go there? You should know your son well by now. If he hadn’t wanted to do it on his own, who could have forced him?”

Jiao Ziqing clenched her jaw. He was right, but she was still feeling dissatisfied and retorted, “Why on earth are you speaking up for her?”

“Xiao Jiao, since when did you become so unreasonable?” Ou Huojin asked. “Xiao Ou is a grownup. Even as parents, we cannot interfere too much in his decisions. Stop meddling.”

When Jiao Ziqing heard that, she felt unjustly accused and spat out in anger, “You’re scolding me, too? Are you even my husband?” With that, she slammed the phone down and made a call to Wen Fenglin.

It seemed that Wen Fenglin was busy and in the midst of something. He took a long time to answer the call.

The moment he picked up the call, Jiao Ziqing anxiously said, “Lao Wen, have you gone to pick up my son?”

When Wen Fenglin heard that, he chuckled, “How did you know? Was it Lao Ou who told you?” That statement could be treated as a concurrence in itself.

Jiao Ziqing gave a sigh of relief and said, “Yeah. Who else could it be other than Lao Ou? Since you’ve gone, I can relax. You have to bring Xiao Ou back!”

“Yes. I will definitely complete the mission,” Wen Fenglin said laughingly as he hung up the phone.

However, after the call was disconnected, he stretched his back and laid on the bed.

By the time Yu Lili returned to the hotel, it was almost 1 a.m. The room was dark. Ye Qianqian was already fast asleep.

Yu Lili carefully bolted the door and went into the shower with a change of clothes. After that, she carefully burrowed under the covers.

“Where on earth did you go that you’re back so late?” Ye Qianqian suddenly asked.

Yu Lili hadn’t expected Ye Qianqian to speak out of the blue. She jumped out of her skin. She gave Ye Qianqian a small kick and hollered, “You almost scared me to death!”

Ye Qianqian wiggled her lips and turned over. “So, where on earth did you go?”

“I went out for a meal with a friend. When we were done, I took him back before returning,” Yu Lili said.

“Male or female?” Ye Qianqian asked.

Yu Lili ignored her as she turned around, covered herself with the quilt, and closed her eyes.
