The 99th Divorce

When Ye Qianqian heard Shen Luo’an’s words, her fury boiled over. She opened her mouth and scolded, “You crazy man! She is your sister and also your lover. Who on earth even knows what the relationship between the both of you is anymore? Furthermore, Ye Youyou is your wife, but you’re taking care of a totally unrelated childhood friend from your past. Now, you have the gall to ask me where Shen Manting is? How the hell would I know? When I found this cellphone, she was already nowhere to be found! Shouldn’t you be asking yourself this question instead?”

Ye Qianqian’s volume was soft, but her words were like the rapid fire of a cannon.

Shen Luo’an grew even angrier when he heard her. In a voice brimming with rage, he said, “Stop playing tricks with me. Call Shen Manting to the phone now!”

“Ha!” Ye Qianqian coldly laughed “Why would I f*cking play games with you? Do you think you’re some pimp? Well, I’m not your dog! Bye!”

With that, she hung up the phone. Afterward, a sense of satisfaction overcame her. She scrolled through Shen Manting’s phone and immediately blocked Shen Luo’an’s number.

Shen Manting had probably come to Kingstown as Yu Lili’s bridesmaid in an intentional effort to get away from Shen Luo’an’s clutches. If that’s the case, I’m doing a good deed. My merit is going to be limitless! Ha!

Ye Qianqian was about to switch the phone off when she saw a few words written on the wallpaper of Shen Manting’s phone. It said, “If my phone is in your hands, please open the notepad.”

The background was white, and the words were in black. They were written very clearly and were easy to read.

Ye Qianqian was stunned. She stared at the phone and was at a loss of what to do.

Is this just a random wallpaper, or is it a legitimate message that was left behind? How did she know that someone would look through her phone?

Ye Qianqian’s curiosity was piqued, but she suddenly came to a realization. Shen Manting’s phone was not locked with a passcode.

Nowadays, any normal person would set their phone to stay locked without a passcode or face recognition. Shen Manting’s phone had been unlocked with a mere swipe of the finger. Furthermore, the number of documents in the phone were pathetically low.

Ye Qianqian suspiciously opened the notepad app on her phone. When she did, she saw a document that was crammed with words.

On it was written:

“I am Shen Manting. Although I don’t know who you are, if you are looking at this note, thank you for paying attention to me.

Please hand this cell phone over to Shen Luo’an and have him open my favorite box. Thank you!

Beside my bed, on the right hand side, there’s a crystal vase. Inside the vase is my thank-you gift to you. Thank you for helping me pass the message, and thank you for paying attention to me at all. I am so grateful for that!”

There weren’t many words, but each word carried a tone of farewell.

Ye Qianqian was shocked when she read it. She scrolled through the phone and found that apart from Shen Luo’an’s contact number, all her social media accounts and contact numbers had been completely deleted. In other words, Shen Manting had made this decision a long time ago.

Ye Qianqian looked through the phone and found a document that needed a passcode to unlock it. It was a secret document. She tried to open it, but she didn’t have the passcode. This had to be the reason why Shen Manting wanted her to hand the phone over to Shen Luo’an.

Ye Qianqian felt a moment of regret. She left the page and unblocked Shen Luo’an’s number from the phone. She made a phone call.

The call connected quickly. Ye Qianqian had assumed that Shen Luo’an was be as crazed as he had been moments before. However, what she heard was a question in the tone of an unidentifiable mood, “When did she leave?”
