The 99th Divorce

That was exactly in line with what Yu Lili wanted. When she heard Shen Zhilie’s suggestion, she nodded her head immediately.

Afterward, she turned around to look at Ou Ming. She realized there wasn’t much of a change in his expression.

That meant he didn’t have an opinion on the matter.

Yu Lili walked ahead. The more she thought about it, the weirder the whole situation seemed. Given how protective Jiao Ziqing was of Ou Ming, how was it possible that she would just ignore him?

Even if there was a delay, Ou Ming would still have been picked up and sent home by now. The more she thought about it, the more something felt off.

She turned to speak to Shen Zhilie. “Take him to the restaurant. I need to make a phone call.”

“OK,” Shen Zhilie waved an affirmation at her. “I’ll give you a call later to let you know where we are.”

Yu Lili nodded her head and walked off into the distance.

The smile on Shen Zhilie’s face slowly ebbed off. He turned to Ou Ming, who had already refused to continue walking.

Ou Ming remained expressionless, yet the vibes he emitted were very aggressive and malevolent. His entire being gave off a dangerous aura of unhappiness.

“Why did you stop walking? Have your legs atrophied as well?” Shen Zhilie spoke with extreme discourtesy. He added in a cold laugh for good measure. “Since you’ve already broken up, won’t you just disappear? I beg of you, Great Master Ou. There are so many women on this planet. Why do you insist on clinging on to Yu Lili? Can’t you go and destroy another woman’s life? The both of you are really unsuitable for each other!”

“Whether or not we’re suitable for each other isn’t up to you.” Ou Ming’s voice remained steady. “I think we’re very suitable for each other.”

“What do you take her for, then? A broken shoe for you to take in and throw out as you wish?” Shen Zhilie asked.

“She is my woman.” Ou Ming’s voice was calm. When he made the declaration, his face was unspeakably serious.

“Oh my god, enough of that. Who can afford to be your woman?” Shen Zhilie asked ruthlessly as he looked at the blind man. “Yu Lili is now my girlfriend. I hope you will stop pestering her.”

“That’s not up to you either,” Ou Ming said as he strode up to him. “She loves me. As long as I’m still alive, she’ll never be together with you. I will not let her go. You’d better give up now.”

Shen Zhilie looked at the calm and collected blind man in front of him. He shook his head at his inability to understand what Ou Ming was thinking. “Can’t you have a little self-awareness? Do you even think you still have the right to hold on to her? You’re already a handicapped person. Who on earth do you still think you’re good enough for?”

His eyes couldn’t see, and his arm was broken. Even if it was only a matter of time before his arm healed, could the same be said of his eyes? The uncertainty that lay ahead was too great. How was anyone to take such a gamble?

Ou Ming heard him but didn’t say a word.

“No one has an obligation to be with you. Yu Lili is not your object. She is a woman with a free will. It’s fortunate that she didn’t marry you. Otherwise, the rest of her life would have been wasted on a blind man. What a pity that would be!” Shen Zhilie laughed cruelly. “Didn’t you feel that way, too? What’s the use of regretting now? There’s no place for regrets on this planet.”

Ou Ming was a proud and conceited person.

Shen Zhilie had thought that such an ordeal would be sufficient to break his spirit. He hadn’t expected that Ou Ming’s tenacity would exceed anything he had imagined. He had made his comeback quickly and even had come over all the way from Kingstown.

But, Ou Ming had already dug his own grave. All Shen Zhilie had to do was add fuel to the fire and Ou Ming would truly be done for.

Shen Zhilie knew very well how big a blow this conversation was to Ou Ming. The corners of his lips turned up as he looked into Ou Ming’s empty eyes and waited for his reaction.
