The 99th Divorce

I heard… Whom else could she have heard it from?

The only person who could have told her was Ou Ming. His intention was clear. He was probably trying to make use of the Shen family’s reputation to convince his mother.

When Yu Lili heard that statement, she understood what was going on. She nodded her head and considered her words before saying, “Granny Shen treats me very well. She hopes that I’ll visit her in the Capital when I’m free.”

Jiao Ziqing recalled the scene when Old Mrs. Shen brought Yu Lili over to their house. It was obvious from her actions then that the old lady was very protective of the lass.

“Well, she may be pretty annoying, but her luck’s pretty good,” Jiao Ziqing muttered under her breath to herself.

Yu Lili was speechless. Indeed, nothing good could come from a filthy mouth.

“Mom, won’t you eat some? It’s quite delicious.” Ou Ming quickly changed the topic.

Jiao Ziqing flashed him a look and stated in displeasure, “No. If you’ve nothing else to do, go home. Stop spending so much time outside. I don’t want people to think my son is dead.”

Yu Lili’s mind went blank when she heard that. And, so did Ou Ming’s.

“Alright. I’m off.” Jiao Ziqing stood up and turned to walk out.

“Take care,” Ou Ming replied.

Yu Lili pointed at his head. She quickly got up and walked out too, saying, “Did you drive over? I could take you back.”

“That won’t be necessary. I have my own car.” She quickly added, “Is the red Jeep outside yours?”

Yu Lili was stunned and didn’t know how to reply.

Was it hers? Ou Ming had said it was a gift for me, but I didn’t dare accept it. Is Jiao Ziqing trying to find fault with me again?

Jiao Ziqing observed Yu Lili’s expression and commented acidly, “What are you nervous about? If it is, it is. If it isn’t, it isn’t!” With that, she opened the door and left.

Yu Lili hurried up and walked her to the car. Only after she saw her car leave did she head back into the house. When she entered, she saw Ou Ming sitting at the dining table as if nothing were amiss.

She went forward and asked, “How could you treat your mom that way? You didn’t even see her off. What if she thinks that I’m the one who has led you astray?”

Ou Ming almost spat his porridge out and started laughing. He replied, “Why did I have to see her off? It’s not like she’s a small child. But, I really didn’t expect her to ask about the vehicle.”

“That scared me to death just now! If she finds that you bought it as a gift to me, I’m going to get scolded again!” Yu Lili sat by Ou Ming side. As the tension drained from her body, she began to feel hungry.

Ou Ming had finished her leftover porridge in the bowl, so Yu Lili ladled another portion for herself.

He looked on and asked, “What are you afraid of? It’s not like she can eat you up. At most, she’ll just scold you. Her tongue is sharp, but her heart isn’t evil. Didn’t you realize that her attitude toward you has improved tremendously?”

“I didn’t!” Yu Lili had almost been scared to death. She hadn’t had the energy to pay attention to such details.

When she finished her food, Ou Ming still wasn’t done eating.

Yu Lili had slept enough, and her body was feeling much better. With nothing better to do, she took a walk around the sitting room. When she passed by the coffee table, she suddenly caught a glimpse of a red booklet. The words “Marriage Certificate” were boldly emblazoned across the booklet in gold.

When her mind registered what she was looking at, she got a shock and quickly opened it. The stamp inside was striking. The couple photo of the both of them was beautiful.

Isn’t this our wedding certificate?

It was left in such a conspicuous area. Had Ou Ming’s mother already seen it?
