The 99th Divorce

“For so many years I’ve wanted to marry him. I didn’t work so hard just to end up having him as an ‘older brother!’

What am I to do, Daddy? I’ve realized that I am so very selfish… I actually want Shen Luo’an to die. I want to kill him and then kill myself. I’ll tell you the truth. This sentiment hasn’t been in my heart for just a day or two now, Daddy.”

Guan Queye’s voice began to be tinged with the sound of sobbing. She sounded in despair.

The expression on Ye Youyou’s face was complex. She looked at Ye Tian as she heard the voice recording. Her heart felt heavy.

“After I received this news, I’ve been trying to contact him. His cell phone is switched off. Daddy, I wonder, is it because I’m not good enough? Or to put it another way, am I not as good as Ye Youyou? Is that why he chose her and not me?”

Guan Queye’s every word was heart-wrenching.

It wasn’t hard to imagine how heartbroken Guan Yanhong’s reaction to these words would have been when he had heard them.

“I just saw Ye Youyou. She was with a man. That man looks so eligible! He doesn’t look inferior in any way to Shen Luo’an! Why is it that I can never meet such a man? I’m so envious and angry, Daddy! Since I can’t kill Shen Luo’an, I’ll kill Ye Youyou instead. That woman has destroyed too much of what is mine! I don’t want to let her off! In any case, I’ve been diagnosed as mentally unstable. Mentally unstable criminals are not punished for their crimes. At most, I’ll have to stay in an asylum for a period of time…”

Li Jinnan’s face darkened as he heard the recording.

He turned to look at Ye Youyou and found her absolutely shaken.

He didn’t dare imagine what his reaction would have been had it been Ye Youyou who had died.

“If I do that, Shen Luo’an will suffer terribly. Ha ha ha! Daddy, isn’t this plan of mine genius?”

For a few moments after that, all that could be heard was the sound of static.

No one spoke. The clinking of glasses could be heard, followed by the sound of water being poured.

“As long as I’m able to get Ye Youyou to drink this, she will definitely die.”

Li Jinnan felt his blood boil when he heard that. His initially emotionless face darkened to the extreme.

Next came the sound of the water tumbler being moved around and capped back into place.

Then, there was total silence.

Ye Youyou hadn’t expected the contents of the recording to be what they were. While she was shocked to her core, she was also suspicious. She asked, “Is that all there is?”

“No. There’s more at the back,” Ye Tian replied.

Indeed, after a few more minutes, Guan Queye’s voice was suddenly heard again. She said, “Daddy, I gave it some further thought. If I really killed Ye Youyou, Shen Luo’an wouldn’t return to my side either.”

Guan Queye’s words were laced with self-deprecating laughter as she continued. “Who would be willing to spend the rest of their life with a crazy murderer?”

She still possessed some sense.

“Therefore, Daddy, I’ve made up my mind. I’m going to have them remember me forever. They will never forget me.” Guan Queye paused for a moment and lightly said, “Perhaps, Shen Luo’an may even feel a sense of guilt toward me for the rest of his life. I will make sure that Ye Youyou is sentenced to death. I want Ye Youyou to die! Ha ha! Nobody will be able to stop me.”

At that confession, Li Jinnan’s and Ye Youyou’s blood ran cold.

“I love you, Daddy. I hope that I can be your daughter even in the next life. I’m sorry for letting you down in this life…”
