The 99th Divorce

At that point in the recording, the situation had already become very clear.

The expression on Li Jinnan’s face was extremely ominous.

Ye Youyou’s expression, on the other hand, was one of obvious conflict.

She had expected it. At the same time, it had still been beyond her expectations.

She raised her eyes instinctively to look at Li Jinnan. Ye Youyou couldn’t identify how exactly she was feeling at that moment.

After a long while, she finally spoke. “So, can we use this recording to get Shen Luo’an out of prison?”

Ye Youyou’s words caused Ye Tian’s face to twitch in alarm.

She tightened grip on the pendant involuntarily but loosened her hold almost just as soon. Her dilemma was evident on her face as she looked at the pendant in her hand.

Because of Li Jinnan’s words, Ye Tian had given in to her rash impulses and spilled the beans regarding the matter. She had even produced the recording evidence.

As time had passed, Ye Tian had managed to calm down.

She was very clear about what the consequences would be once this recording was handed over.

Once this item was in Ye Youyou’s and Li Jinnan’s hands, she would get her money. However, it would henceforth be impossible between her and Guan Yanhong.

Ye Tian was beginning to hesitate. Her grip around the pendant tightened once again as she stared at it.

Suddenly, a huge hand reached over and snatched the recording from her palm.

Ye Tian was caught off guard. She gripped it tightly in response as she protested, “What are you doing?”

Li Jinnan’s eyes were cold. He snatched the item over without any further thought or consideration. He said, “Madam Ye, we had an agreement just now.”

With that, Li Jinnan replayed the voice recording.

Ye Tian wanted to snatch it back, but Li Jinnan raised his hand out of her reach.

Ye Tian’s build was a little shorter than Ye Youyou’s, so there was no way she could reach Li Jinnan’s hand.

The voice recording was replayed. The sound was clear and identical to what it had just been.

After ascertaining that Ye Tian hadn’t tempered with the recording, Li Jinnan shoved it securely into Ye Youyou’s handbag.

“Take good care of this. We can contact the lawyers now.” Li Jinnan’s voice was cold and firm.

He looked at Ye Tian with his bright eyes and slowly said, “Thank you, Madam Ye.”

Ye Tian began to panic. As she watched the Psyduck pendant being taken away, she suddenly burst out, “Hold on!”

Li Jinnan ignored her. He held Ye Youyou by her hand and simply said, “Let’s go.”

Ye Youyou reacted very quickly and turned around.

She still felt vexed when she saw the state of the car.

It had been thoroughly destroyed.

As Ye Tian watched them walking further away into the distance, her heart grew increasingly unsettled.

She stood rooted to the spot and didn’t move for a long while.

“You have to make arrangements for your own future. Guan Yanhong has already lost a daughter, and you are already in the midst of divorce proceedings. Ye Tian, buck up a little more!” She spoke to convince herself in the empty parking lot. “Once you’re divorced, you’ll have nothing! When you’re old and gone, there’ll be no one to send you off either. You have to think and make arrangements for yourself!”

Ye Tian tried to convince herself, but the emptiness in her heart continued to grow.

She looked ahead and saw Li Jinnan with his arms around Ye Youyou. The sight of them snuggling together was very sweet.

That was her daughter and son-in-law.

At the end of the day, Ye Youyou was her biological daughter.

But were her actions today the right or wrong choice?

–

Guan Yanhong had been locked up for three days. Eventually, he was released thanks to his lawyer, who had pulled out all the stops.

The moment he was released, Guan Yanhong demanded, “Hasten the divorce proceedings! I don’t want to see that mother and daughter for even a moment ever again!”
