The 99th Divorce

The smoke rose, with a light tobacco smell, filling the whole car with depression. Ou Ming sat in the car with an ashtray in front of him. There were already four or five cigarette butts in the ashes. Looking at the dim sky in front of him, Ou Ming’s mind was oddly empty. Just in the afternoon when he saw the photo wall, he had thought… However, it was just his own belief.

Shock, anger, and sorrow. It turned out… his children were not killed by him. However, that fact was even more hurting than the words of Yu Lili back in the days. How much hatred could there be for her to kill her firstborn, and twins? How much did she hate him so that she did not even want her own children?

She had been with him for three years. Even if he had a dog for three years, it would have feelings, let alone a person? Ou Ming looked at the distant sky, and there was only indifference in his dark brown eyes. He put out the cigarette, started the car, and slowly drove down the road. From now on, the old Ou Ming was completely dead.

After Li Sicheng took over the company affairs, the company’s performance was much better than before. So much so that Su Qianci felt frustrated and proud at the same time. She thought that she had done a good job. Seeing the quarterly report, Su Qianci felt defeated.

The children were running around in the living room, chasing each other. Su Qianci put the documents back and looked at the time. It was almost six o’clock. She said, “All of you, take a rest, come and sit for ten minutes!”

Li Jianyue laughed, chased Li Mosen, and stopped. She shouted, “1, 2, 3, red light, don’t talk, don’t move!” Li Mosen and Li Jianqian stopped at once. Both of them were panting, but they really didn’t move. Li Jianqian even maintained the running posture, while Li Mosen looked like he was about to talk.

Seeing such a strange scene, Su Qianci couldn’t help but yell, “The command is invalid!” Li Mosen and Li Jianqian suddenly let out a sigh of relief, ran over to the sofa where Su Qianci was sitting, and sat down. Li Jianyue also spat out her tongue and ran towards Su Qianci. She asked, “Mom, why is Dad not home yet?” Su Qianci tapped on her little nose and said, “A girl should not stick her tongue out. Speak normally.”

“Can boys do that?” Li Jianqian asked. “No. You all need to talk normal like mom and dad. Understood?” “But, when Uncle Luo Zhan talked to Dad, he was like this!” Li Mosen looked puzzled. “Why can adults do that, but not children?” Hearing that, Su Qianci paused, but quickly said, “Uncle Luo is not a boy or a girl. He is a man, so he can make such a joke. You children can’t learn from bad examples. Got it?”

“Oh!” The children did not seem to fully understand. Anyway, the result was that Uncle Luo Zhan was a bad example. Li Jianyue stared, her big black eyes wide, and once again asked, “Mom, when will Dad come back?”

“Very soon. When Dad comes back, go hug Dad. Today is Dad’s birthday, you should tell him Happy birthday. Got it?”
