The 99th Divorce

“What do I know? It almost spread across the entire town already! They said that your boyfriend raped Fang Tongtong and robbed her of her chastity. Say, how can he do such a thing?”

When Ye Qianqian heard that, her eyes popped out of her sockets.

“What?” Ye Qianqian felt unbelievable. “Old Shen raped Fang Tongtong? Pooh, impossible!”

When Ye Zhenhua heard her reply, he clapped his hands. “That’s right, how could it be? Shen is pretty upright, so how could he have done such a thing?”

“Precisely!” Ye Qianqian cusped her forehead. She felt furious but also amused as she boiled up with anger. “Who said that? I f*cking… Today, I finally understand what it means when we say that a rumor grows as it goes!”

“Not only so, they even bad-mouthed you. They said that you sent her into the tiger’s den and caused her to lose her chastity and virginity. You even got yourself into a whole lot of trouble. She’s staying at home now. Her mother says terrible things about you to every anybody she can catch hold of. I couldn’t stand it. I went to reason with her once but I got angered by her cursing…”

Ye Zhenhua sounded increasingly angry. “Why would such a person exist in this world? In the past, I thought that their family was pretty decent. Now that things have become like this, why wouldn’t she say that her daughter was the one who seduced my prospective son-in-law? It takes two hands to clap. If Fang Tongtong hadn’t been a willing party, Shen would not have been able to do anything to her.”

Ye Qianqian laughed bitterly.

Ye Zhenhua let out a sigh. “Qianqian, no matter what, since such a thing happened, you shouldn’t be with him anymore. Men like this are fickle-minded. If it is Fang Tongtong today, it could be someone else tomorrow. It might be good that you guys have broken up.”

“Dad, I know how to handle it.”

“It’s just a pity. Shen was a pretty good kid. He had good looks, was hardworking, was strong in expressing himself, and had a good family upbringing. I can’t believe that he would actually do such a thing.”

Ye Qianqian went silent. “I found it unbelievable as well.”

“Hey, if you don’t have any plans for the weekend, make a trip back home. Your grandpa’s in poor health lately and is constantly on an IV drip. I thought that you were busy with work, so I didn’t manage to inform you.” Ye Zhenhua spoke slowly and gently, “Your grandpa is probably left with these few days. Come back and visit him. He misses you greatly.”

Ye Qianqian’s eyes turned red. She nodded her head. “Sure.”

Ye Qianqian’s grandfather was constantly in poor health ever since her grandmother passed away.

It was extremely torturous to experience close to two years of dementia. Ye Qianqian was already aware of her grandfather’s situation.

“If I were to return at such a point in time, it will be inevitable for me to be gossiped about…”

After some thought, Ye Qianqian gave Ye Youyou a call.

Fang Tongtong became the talk of the town within a few days.

In the past, the talk of the town had always been about promising individuals. It was Fang Tongtong’s first time to be discussed by everyone.

Fang Tongtong felt extremely shameless. For the past few days, she had completely defamed Ye Qianqian through her mother.

Now, almost everyone in town was aware that Ye Qianqian had betrayed her friend for glory, that she had shoved Fang Tongtong to Shen Zhilie so that she could break up with him, and that she had followed the course of nature and ditched her boyfriend afterward.”

It was also the first time that Fang Tongtong knew how terrifying the phrase rumor grows as it goes was.

It was much more difficult for one to put up with verbal abuse compared to a direct physical attack.

“Tongtong, did you know? I saw Qianqian return home just now!”
