The 99th Divorce

Ye Qianqian’s words were spoken from her heart. Regardless of whether it was in terms of physical appearances, family background, or ability, Li Jinnan trumped Shen Luo’an in every way. If Ye Youyou could end up with Li Jinnan, all the suffering she had experienced would not be in vain.

As Ye Youyou was being pushed into the room, she continued to towel-dry her hair helplessly and said, “I’ll blow my hair dry.”

Ye Qianqian almost squealed in delight when she heard that. Was this silly sister of hers finally coming around? Happiness blossomed on her face as she replied, “Yes, yes, yes! But, don’t come out too soon!”

A few moments after Ye Youyou went in, the doorbell rang.

When Ye Qianqian looked through the peephole and saw Li Jinnan’s handsome face, she was beside herself with joy. She opened the door and invited him in, saying, “GM Li! What an honor! Youyou is still inside. Why don’t you come in and take a seat?”

The moment Li Jinnan stepped in, Ye Qianqian caught a whiff of the smell of cigarettes on him. She took a sniff. Trying to strike up a conversation, she asked, ‘GM Li, you smoke?”

Li Jinnan turned his head and looked at her. He nodded his head and replied, “I just had a stick. Is the smell very strong? Why don’t I stay outside for a while instead?”

Ye Qianqian quickly waved her hands. “No, no, no! It’s fine. I don’t mind it at all. Please come in.”

Li Jinnan found Ye Qianqian very interesting. With a purse of his lips, he looked down at the slippers she was wearing and asked, “Do I need to switch out of my shoes?”

“Not at all. Just treat this place as your own home.” With that, she hollered back into the apartment, “Hey! Youyou! GM Li is here! Are you done?”

Ye Youyou did not reply. Li Jinnan walked in and sat himself down on the couch as he remarked, “It’s fine. I can wait. It’s nothing urgent.”

Ye Qianqian was convinced that this man was an absolute gentleman. She poured a glass of fruit juice for him. She gingerly carried the glass out on a tray and proceeded to sit opposite of him. In a secretive tone, she said, “GM Li, you seem very fond of Youyou.”

Li Jinnan nodded his head. The expression in his eyes was natural as he replied, “I am very fond of her.”

Ye Qianqian was elated. “Is it the kind of fondness that I think it is?”

“I guess so,” he said.

Ye Qianqian clapped and replied, “That makes everything much easier! Actually, GM Li, I won’t hide it from you. Youyou has probably told you about it already, but she’s currently married to Shen Luo’an. Do you know Shen Luo’an? He’s the genius doctor that’s hailed as one of the three most desirable men in the Capital.”

The expression in Li Jinnan’s eyes remained at ease as he nodded his head and replied, “I have heard a little about it. And, I know about this too. But, I heard he hasn’t been too discreet in his private life. He and his sister…”

“Tch!” Ye Qianqian clicked her tongue as her expression turned conspiratorial. She excitedly said, “Yes! Yes! Exactly! He was so indiscreet! That scumbag isn’t fit for Ye Youyou at all, but he refuses to get a divorce! Heaven knows how much my heart aches for our dear Youyou. During the period when she was injured and hospitalized, he only came by once! After footing the hospital bill, he never showed up again. What could I do? It was hopeless!”

At the back of such a messy affair had to be huge conspiracy. Li Jinnan nodded his head and continued from where she left off. “It is horrible. So, what do you think I should do that would be appropriate?”

Ye Qianqian clapped her hands together and replied, “I knew you were a smart man! GM Li, since you harbor a romantic interest in our dear Youyou, you have to take action quickly!”
