The 99th Divorce

Fang Tongtong went silent.

“It’s reasonable for her to be upset since her grandfather passed away.”

Fang Tongtong had a good impression of the elderly man. He was always smiling, and he seemed friendly and amicable.

When Fang Tongtong heard what her mother said, she glanced at her and said, “Later. Their family must be in chaos right now. They won’t have the time of the day to be bothered with me. I’ll head over tomorrow.”

“That’s fine.” Mrs. Fang nodded her head. “Alright, give them condolence money as you deem fit. Do you have money?”

“Yes, I know.”

…

It was not the first time the Ye family held a funeral.

Ye Qianqian experienced the same pain when her grandmother passed away.

The elders and relatives who came and went would visit the Ye family’s house to offer their incense. All of them looked at Ye Qianqian through colored lenses.

Ye Qianqian pretended not to notice and responded with silence.

It was already the afternoon. The Ye family had busied themselves for a good half the day.

The weather was still hot. Since the elderly man’s body was frozen inside a crystal casket, it would not be affected that quickly, even under such high temperatures.

Within a day and a night, Ye Qianqian had the illusion that the threshold of the door to their house was going to wear off because of the sheer number of visitors they had received.

“Tongtong, why are you here?”

Someone loudly yelled. Ye Qianqian could feel her back stiffen.

When Ye Qianqian turned her head around, she immediately caught sight of Fang Tongtong, who was entering the room.

Fang Tongtong remained expressionless as she looked at Ye Qianqian. She said with a smile, “Qianqian, I came to visit you.”

Qianqian found it rather ironic and sarcastic.

“Visit me?”

“Did you come to check up on how I’ve been after you ruined the relationship between me and my boyfriend?”

At the same time, the people around them turned to look.

There were quite a few people since the Ye family was holding a funeral.

Ye Qianqian glanced at them and pretended to remain calm as she nodded her head and replied, “That’s considerate of you.”

“Is there anything I can help you with?”

“No. If you really want to help out, help me tidy up inside. There are too many things that people have used. I don’t have the time to clear it up now.”

Fang Tongtong felt as though she had been ordered around, but she did not show it on her face. She merely nodded her head and turned around to get to work.

Many people began to whisper in hushed tones when they saw what had happened, but even more people began to gloat.

There were a lot of people in the world who enjoyed a good show.

Ye Qianqian was aware of that, but she simply didn’t want to be bothered with Fang Tongtong.

“I’m very busy.”

Ye Qianqian did not know what was keeping her buys. Regardless of whether it was attending to guests or the minute matters, they all greatly irritated her.

“Qianqian.” Fang Tongtong walked over to Ye Qianqian. The noise beyond the room in the outside world seemed to be blocked out.

“Do you have any business with me?” Ye Qianqian lazily sat on a stool. She could not even be bothered to look at her.

“I just want to apologize to you. I didn’t expect the rumors to spread like that. You know that I couldn’t have said such a thing. It was a case of the rumor growing as it spread. It was so ridiculous. How could such a ridiculous thing happen?”

Ye Qianqian looked at her. She snorted coldly and said, “I’m also aware that rumors grow as they go. Shen is not blind, so why would he fall for you?”

When Fang Tongtong heard that, she glared at Ye Qianqian and gnashed her teeth as she said, “Ye Qianqian, don’t go overboard. I know what kind of person you are, and you are also aware of the kind of person I am. I merely apologized to you because I felt bad. With that serpent tongue of yours, it serves you right that Shen Zhilie broke up with you.”

“Pfft…” Ye Qianqian burst out into laughter. “Did Shen Zhilie end up with you since you are so kind with your words?”

Fang Tongtong was rendered speechless. At the same time, she felt a great sense of humiliation.
