The 99th Divorce

“Pfft…” Fang Tongtong spat. “It can’t be. Have you been fooling around outside?”

“Sigh, he merely raped a woman. That woman is already forty past 50 years old, and her son is already a university student. His reputation is in the ruins after such an incident.” Mrs. Fang was rather sympathetic. “Sigh, but Wang Jincheng is a pretty decent chap. Plus, he’s young and accomplished. His father’s health is deteriorating. He doesn’t have much time left.”

“Hey, what do you mean by this?” Fang Tongtong felt the hairs rise on her back. “Surely you’re not thinking about setting me up with this dude, are you?”

“What’s wrong with that? They’ve only just returned, so I haven’t had time to visit them. It’ll be awkward if he’s attached. If he’s single, you can ask him out on a date since he used to like you in the past. You are already acquainted with him, so there is a foundation. It’ll be different from other match-making sessions.”

Fang Tongtong was at a loss as to what to say. She crossly replied, “Are you that worried that your daughter will remain on the shelf?”

“Of course! In that past, I still thought that Ye Qianqian would be unable to find a boyfriend since she is more willful than you. Now, she is accomplished and even found a boyfriend who is so handsome and outstanding. Look at her, look at her, look at her. Can you do it?”

“So what if he’s outstanding? They broke up anyway.” Fang Tongtong sat on the chair with her head down as she turned her cellphone on.

Mrs. Fang was shocked when she heard what Fang Tongtong said. “They broke up? How could that be? Isn’t that guy head over heels for Qianqian? Why would they break up?”

“Hasn’t it ever crossed your mind that Ye Qianqian could have ditched him?” Fang Tongtong hotly replied. “Furthermore, nobody can stop the sky from raining, a lady from marrying, or a man from cheating.”

“Surely you’re not being serious. That boy seemed very prim and proper. Would he even cheat on her?”

“Why wouldn’t he? Ye Qianqian is such a boorish person. She doesn’t behave like a lady at all. What would a man want in her? It’s only right for them to break up.”

“Shush, shush, shush. Qianqian is still pretty good. Though she looks fierce, she’s only a paper tiger. It’s not your first day meeting her. How could she be cheated on?” Mrs. Fang clapped her hands. “This won’t do. You have to scold that boy. How could he cheat on her?”

“Hey… Why are you so worked up.”

“How can I not be worked up? Qianqian is such a nice girl, yet she was cheated on. How can you not feel anxious for her?”

Fang Tongtong was rendered speechless. “Forget it. I’m just joking. Look at you, you’re so anxious. You treat her like your daughter, but do you know that she chased your daughter out from her house?”

“Really?”

“Of course it’s real. If not, why would I return here?” Fang Tongtong seemed slightly aggrieved. “Forget it. You wouldn’t believe me anyway. If you believe in Ye Qianqian, treat her as your daughter instead.”

As Fang Tongtong spoke, she stood up and prepared to leave. Panicking, Mrs. Fang asked, “Why? Did she take it out on you because her boyfriend cheated on her? It’s pretty normal for her to be in a bad mood. Just give in to her slightly and everything will be fine!”

Fang Tongtong became even more aggrieved. Ss if she was on the verge of tears, she said in a choked-up voice, “You don’t get it at all. She chased me away because she thinks that I seduced her boyfriend!”

The shock drained Mrs. Fang’s face of color. “How could that be? My daughter is not such a person at all. Did Qianqian really say that?”

“Of course!” Fang Tongtong cried out loud. “She cursed and called me a mistress. She even slapped Old Shen in front of me, but I feel that she really wanted to slap me!”
