The 99th Divorce

“He’ll be here soon.”

Li Jinnan answered the call. Ye Qianqian’s voice could soon be heard. “Hello? Youyou?”

Li Jinnan was leaning on the couch lazily and replied, “Youyou is cooking.”

Ye Qianqian heaved a sigh of relief when she heard that and asked, “Is everything fine now? How is Shen Luo’an?”

“Shen Luo’an has been locked up. The court session begins tomorrow.” Li Jinnan’s lazy demeanor switched to one of seriousness as he continued. “From the looks of things, it doesn’t seem likely that he’ll be released.”

Ye Qianqian was impudently happy when she heard that and exclaimed, “That’s great to hear! He’s such a scumbag! I’m just so happy to hear that someone like him has finally been locked up!”

Li Jinnan was silent.

Yeah, someone like Shen Luo’an had finally been locked up.

That was something he would originally have been happy to hear.

But this was not the ending Shen Luo’an deserved.

He had done it for Ye Youyou.

If not for Shen Luo’an, the one who stuck in prison would have been Ye Youyou.

Ye Qianqian did not detect the change in Li Jinnan’s demeanor and said, “That man has no sense of responsibility at all! Regardless of whether it was toward my sister Ye Youyou, Shen Manting, or even that dead b*tch, he wasn’t responsible toward a single one of them. It’s good that a scumbag like that has finally been locked up. How did he get locked up in the first place?”

Ye Qianqian had been in Kingstown the past few days. She had initially offered to go to the Capital to help, but Li Jinnan and Ye Zhenhua had convinced her otherwise.

Indeed, Li Jinnan didn’t disappoint. He had managed to get Ye Youyou out.

Still, how did Shen Luo’an get imprisoned out of the blue?

Judging from Shen Zhilie’s actions, he didn’t seem to know anything about it either.

“He turned himself in. He told the police that he was the one who murdered Guan Queye, and the evidence corroborated his story. He was only taken in yesterday. Ye Youyou was also only released yesterday.” As Li Jinnan spoke, his speech suddenly slowed as he said, “There’s still hope for him.”

He wasn’t going to allow Shen Luo’an to be imprisoned. This crime was never committed by Shen Luo’an to begin with.

If they allowed Shen Luo’an to be so unjustly maligned and punished, even Li Jinnan would not be able to live with himself.

Both he and Ye Youyou owed that much to Shen Luo’an.

“Why bother?” Ye Qianqian found it incomprehensible. “He is getting his just desserts. He could even bring himself to murder his bride. Even if his case takes a turn for the better, he’ll have to sit in jail for a few decades, won’t he?”

Li Jinnan was at a loss of how to reply but tried anyway. “This matter is not how you imagine it to be. Shen Luo’an did not murder her. Of course, neither did Ye Youyou. This whole fiasco was possibly orchestrated by Guan Queye.”

Ye Qianqian was utterly confused by the whole explanation and asked, “It was all orchestrated by Guan Queye? Is she or isn’t she dead? What was her purpose in doing such a thing?”

“She’s dead, but she left a whole rotten mess behind to torture those who are still living,” he said.

Li Jinnan utterly despised her, but he had to admit that Guan Queye had done a really good job.

At the very least, everyone was in distress because of her actions.

This experience would stay in everyone’s memories for a long time.

Ye Qianqian had nothing else to say. She sighed and said, “I’m just happy to hear that Youyou is fine now. When are you and Youyou coming back to Kingstown? Let me know so I can welcome you back.”

“We will. Goodbye.”

Li Jinnan hung up the phone and looked toward the kitchen.

Ye Youyou was carrying the soup out. She had just placed it on the table when the doorbell rang.

“He’s here! Hurry and open the door!” Ye Youyou suddenly began to panic.
