The 99th Divorce

Yu Lili’s voice was shaking with disbelief. Her arms hugging onto Ou Ming’s hand subconsciously loosened.

Ou Ming took the opportunity to snatch his hand back and said, ”I am denouncing you, my ex-girlfriend, for all your hypocritical actions. On the surface, you were perfect to a fault. In reality, there was nothing you wouldn’t do in order to get me to marry you. From an outsider’s point of view, you’re loyal and affectionate, but did you think I wouldn’t know your true intentions? Your greatest wish is to marry me. You’ll do your darndest to get a divorce and get a hefty divorce settlement, isn’t that so?”

The more Yu Lili heard, the more incomprehensible what he was saying became.

That is his reason? That is his explanation?

”Nonsense!” Yu Lili bellowed in fury. ”Ou Ming, are you crazy? What bullsh*t are you spouting? You think I give two hoots about your family’s money?”

”If you don’t, why are you refusing to break up with me? If you don’t, why do you still insist on hanging on to me?” Ou Ming asked in a tone that was forceful and pressuring. ”My mom was right. You orphans are all hypocritical. You never had parents, so what the f*ck would you know about love and emotions?”

Jiao Ziqing wasn’t prepared to hear herself mentioned. She was in shock. Similarly, Ou Huojin was bewildered. No one had expected that within the span of a few days, Ou Ming and Yu Lili’s relationship would go through such a huge change.

Other than Ou Ming himself, no one else could fathom what he was thinking.

Yu Lili was shaking in rage. She glared at Ou Ming. Even her breathing started becoming erratic.

Ou Ming added fuel to the fire with his next statement. ”That was the reason you were with me right from the beginning, wasn’t it? All because I am rich and wealthy. That’s why you were with me. Now that I’m handicapped, the most important aspect is still…”

Slap!

An echo of a resounding slap interrupted Ou Ming’s words. His ears started ringing, and his mind started to get fuzzy.

Jiao Ziqing widened her eyes and screamed, ”You slut! How dare you hit my son!” As she spoke, she ran over.

Ou Ming chuckled coldly, ”You’re angry that I blew your cover? Weren’t you really good at enduring? Why are you now…”

Slap!

Another tight slap landed on the other side of Ou Ming’s face. Both sides of his face had not been spared. He started to feel even dizzier, and his body wobbled.

Yu Lili hadn’t expected that Ou Ming would so weak. Very soon, the wounds that were hidden beneath the bandages on his head reopened and started bleeding.

When she saw Ou Ming wobbling, Yu Lili instinctively reached out to steady him, but she was suddenly shoved. The unexpected movement made her stagger backward.

Jiao Ziqing’s panicked voice could be heard through her tears. ”Son…”

Amidst the tumultuous happenings, Ou Ming’s mind started to get hazy. His heart was aching. In the darkness, he could feel tears welling up in his eyes. He gave an eerie laughter and said dejectedly, ”Do you see that? I can’t even avoid a woman’s slap, and you still want to be with me? If not for money, what else could it be? Yu Lili, you’re really hypocritical!”

Whatever sympathy and pity Yu Lili felt for Ou Ming went up in flames.

This man… such a man… I must have been blind to fall in love with such a man!

She should have known. Back in the nightclub, that lesson in the hospital… Were they not enough? Just what did she have to do to change the image of herself that was ingrained in other people?
