The 99th Divorce

This string of insults is a little too…

Shen Luo’an was still his older brother after all. Hearing someone scold and insult him with so much conviction made Shen Zhilie feel as if the tirade was directed at him instead.

However, he could not bring himself to say a word in his brother’s defense. It was a fact that Shen Luo’an didn’t treat Ye Youyou very well.

“Yes, alright. Don’t be angry anymore. Back to the topic, how is she faring?” Shen Zhilie quickly turned the subject back to Ye Youyou.

The two individuals engaged in a bit of chit chat before Shen Zhilie hung up the phone.

Yu Lili observed Shen Zhilie heaving a heavy sigh of relief when he disconnected the call.

On the dining table was a scrumptious spread. Old Mrs. Shen was happily digging in.

The four of them were currently seated around a round table, one pair facing the other.

Yu Lili sat beside Old Mrs. Shen on one side, while Ou Ming and Shen Zhilie sat together on the other.

While Old Mrs. Shen was still eating, she saw Shen Zhilie hang up the phone and asked, “How is the lass doing?”

“It seems that she’s suffering from a concussion. She broke her hand, but it’s not too serious,” Shen Zhilie said. “She should be able to be discharged from the hospital in a few days.”

“How did she suddenly get into such a huge accident out of the blue?” Old Mrs. Shen asked. “Isn’t she a top actress? Isn’t all she has to do pose in front of the camera? Why was it so dangerous?”

“Grandma, it’s not that simple. Don’t you remember that the movies where the actors and actresses fly around the scene all require metal wires? This time, Sister-in-law wasn’t careful and fell. That’s how she got injured.” Shen Zhilie picked a few pieces of food and placed it in his grandmother’s bowl. “Nothing is easy,” he added.

“Oh.” Old Mrs. Shen continued eating before asking, “Where is she now? Did your brother go to her?”

“Yes. He left immediately after footing the medical bill.” Shen Zhilie had heard it from Ye Qianqian’s mouth. He felt a keen sense of pity for Ye Youyou.

When Old Mrs. Shen heard that, she let out a sigh, and commented, “What a sin.”

That’s exactly what it was. A sin.

Ye Youyou had suffered a serious injury, yet Shen Luo’an went only to foot the bill and left immediately after. Furthermore, the Capital was only a two-hour drive away from Hengdian, but he only reached the hospital on the second day in the afternoon.

Yu Lili wasn’t familiar with their family matters and didn’t interrupt. She picked some food and placed them in Ou Ming’s bowl. She looked down at her own bowl and continued eating silently.

Shen Zhilie took note of Yu Lili’s actions. His eyes became downcast. This woman still couldn’t let go of Ou Ming. No matter how Ou Ming treated her, he remained the only man in her heart.

Shen Zhilie felt a little defeated. He picked some food to put in Ou Ming’s bowl as well and said, “Eat a little more. Don’t be picky. When you’re done, I’ll take you back to Kingstown.”

Ou Ming didn’t say a word. He pretended not to see Shen Zhilie’s obviously deliberate action and picked up his chopsticks to eat.

“Is your hand better?” Yu Lili asked.

Ou Ming’s hand that was holding the chopsticks stopped in mid-action. He quickly put his chopsticks down and stuck his hand out. “It hurts. I think there are blisters.”

Yu Lili held his hand in hers to give it a closer look. Shen Zhilie began to feel an unpleasant sensation build up. He reached out and hit Ou Ming’s hand off, snapping, “Eat your food! Why is a man being such a wuss? It’s good enough if your hand is usable!”

The corners of Ou Ming’s mouth lifted. He commented honestly, “You’re jealous.”

“What the h*ll am I jealous about? Eat!” Shen Zhilie shoved his chopsticks into Ou Ming’s hand, frustrated beyond measure.

After the meal, Old Mrs. Shen hurriedly dragged Yu Lili into the room with her while Shen Zhilie suggested sending Ou Ming home first.
