The 99th Divorce

The tone in Li Jinnan’s voice revealed his surprise. It was almost as if he had seen something he couldn’t believe.

Ye Youyou had just put on her shoes. When she heard the surprise in Li Jinnan’s voice, she quickly stretched her neck out to take a look and asked, “Who is it?”

Before she could catch a glimpse of who the person at the door was, Li Jinnan blocked her. He stared straight ahead. Respect was written all over his face.

He coughed gently and said, “Dad, how did you find out about this place?”

Dad?

Ye Youyou’s heart froze when she heard that word. Instinctively, she hid behind Li Jinnan and didn’t dare emerge. Her heartbeat sped up. She reached out and subconsciously rubbed her neck.

Ye Youyou’s neck was littered with the marks that Li Jinnan had just left behind. Her hair was disheveled and hanging loose, and her face was without makeup. She knew her face was a mess. Since they were only going out for a meal, Ye Youyou hadn’t bothered to doll herself up.

No one had expected Li Jinnan’s father to show up at the door before they had even left the house.

Well, this is awkward.

Li Xiao looked at Li Jinnan with sharp eyes before moving them to find the woman behind Li Jinnan’s back. One glance at her figure told him she was a delicate lady.

He looked back at Li Jinnan. With his hand behind his back, and his figure ramrod-straight, he asked with a straight face, “Am I not allowed to come?”

“No…” Li Jinnan was overwhelmed by the sudden visit. He tried to stupidly explain his way out. “You didn’t let me know before you were coming. What if I wasn’t home?”

“Hmph!” Li Xiao proudly stood and said, “You refused to answer the phone, so I asked your second brother directly for the address. Who is that behind you?”

Li Jinnan replied, “This is my girlfriend. We were just about to go out for dinner.”

“Another girlfriend?” Li Xiao’s face was devoid of emotion when he asked, “Just how many girlfriends do you have?”

When Ye Youyou heard that, she raised her head and looked at Li Jinnan. Her first question was, “You have other girlfriends?”

Judging from her speech, her accent was Northern, yet it possessed the gentleness and warmth of a Southern woman. It was very pleasing to the ear.

Li Xiao’s impression of this girl was neither good nor bad. However, before coming, he had heard the news from his mother that Li Jinnan had a girlfriend who was in prison because she had been framed for a crime. The reason why Li Jinnan had remained in Beijing for such a long period of time was because he had to handle his girlfriend’s issue. That was why he hadn’t been back to Kingstown for so long.

When he heard how Li Jinnan had introduced her, his first assumption was that this had to be Li Jinnan’s other girlfriend.

Li Xiao called out in disapproval, “Li Jinnan!”

Li Jinnan knew from that tone that he was in trouble and hurriedly explained, “Dad, you’ve misunderstood. I only have one girlfriend. Come, let me introduce her to you.”

With that, he pulled Ye Youyou to the front and said, “This is my girlfriend. Her name is Ye Youyou. She is from Yun Town.”

Ye Youyou was caught by surprise when she was suddenly pulled to the front. She quickly smiled and greeted, “Hello, Uncle.”

Li Xiao observed the smile on Ye Youyou’s naked face. Although it was obvious that she hadn’t applied makeup, she looked a little more haggard than normal. Still, her smile was dazzling. It was evident that she was a lively and bubbly lady.

Li Xiao nodded his head and replied, “Hello, I’m Li Jinnan’s father. I’m called Li Xiao.”

The introduction was so proper that Ye Youyou didn’t know how to continue the conversation. After a pause, she immediately regained her thoughts and said, “Please come in, Uncle!”
