The 99th Divorce

Ye Tian was rendered speechless. Had she cursed at anyone? She looked at her phone again to ascertain that she had called the correct number.

Upon confirmation that it was indeed the right number, she said, “I’m really your mom, Qianqian.”

It was Ye Qianqian’s turn to be dumbfounded, but the caller even knew her name.

“Who are you?” Ye Qianqian had calmed down.

She had an inkling regarding who the caller was. However, just because she addressed herself as Ye Qianqian’s mother didn’t mean that Ye Qianqian had to acknowledge it.

What a joke!

Ye Qianqian spared no thought for her dignity and said, “I’ve come across so many different scammers recently. They’re always out for money, sex, or to get me to join some pyramid scheme. This is the first time I’ve come across someone trying to pass herself off as a person’s mother! Whatever bullsh*t you have to say, out with it. I’m a really busy person.”

Upon hearing Ye Qianqian’s impatient tone, Ye Tian was enraged and replied, “What sort of tone is that? How on earth did Ye Zhenhua bring you up? Is this how you speak to your elder?”

Ye Qianqian reacted as if she had just heard a big joke and sniggered aloud into the phone. “Elder? What the f*ck, Ye Tian? Don’t you even feel awkward saying that? Do you have no shame at all?”

“Ye Qianqian!” Ye Tian clenched her jaw in anger. “What an ill-bred woman you are!”

Ye Tian’s voice was very loud and shrill, to the point that it made Ye Qianqian’s eardrums itch.

Using a finger to massage her ear, Ye Qianqian laughed coldly and said, “Since you’re so well-bred, please don’t waste your time talking to an ill-bred person like me. Goodbye.”

With that, Ye Qianqian hung up the phone. She was extremely annoyed. She tossed her phone back into her bag and walked back into the room. Before she could take more than a few steps, the phone rang again.

It was the same caller. Ye Qianqian rolled her eyes and irritably answered the call. “What the hell do you want? If you have something to say, say it quickly! I don’t have the time to beat around the bush with you!”

Ye Tian had never been on the receiving end of such treatment, which infuriated her. At the thought of her husband, who was still locked up in the police station, she restrained herself and said, “Qianqian, I know you don’t like me…”

“It’s good that you know, but why did you have to say it aloud? Aren’t you just humiliating yourself?” Ye Qianqian interrupted her and yawned on the other side of the phone.

Ye Tian almost smashed her own phone upon hearing that and ground out in anger, “Don’t you cross the line!”

“Are you done?” Ye Qianqian could tell from Ye Tian’s tone that she was incensed. She was inwardly very pleased with herself. “If you’re done, I’ll hang up now!”

“No!” Ye Tian rushed to answer. “Qianqian, I know you don’t like me, but I have some grievously bad news that I must tell you.”

Grievously bad news? That she had to tell her?

Ye Qianqian’s heart froze. She didn’t say a word.

When Ye Tian could tell that Ye Qianqian was quiet, she weighed her words before speaking. “You know that I rebuilt a family of my own, but your sister…”

“Get to the point!” Ye Qianqian’s tone was extremely impatient. She raised her voice as she said, “I already told you that I’m very busy. Have you been living with animals for so long that you no longer understand the human language?”

Ye Tian took a deep breath and suppressed the anger in her heart. She said, “I’m looking for Ye Youyou, but she refuses to answer any of my calls. I was hoping that you could help me to contact her and pass a message for me.”

“Oh? What message is that?” Ye Qianqian asked.

“Youyou, I know I made a mistake,” Ye Tian said. “Could you please come home? I now know that you had nothing to with Queye’s incident. It was all my fault in the past. This has nothing to do with your Uncle Guan. He is innocent. Please forgive him, and will you also forgive me?”

“No,” Ye Qianqian lazily said. “What good is there in forgiving you?”
