The 99th Divorce

Shen Manting’s voice was not high nor low, however, she looked at Ou Ming with an imploring glance.

Ou Ming looked at her. He smiled and said, “Shen Manting, I told you that I wouldn’t marry you. You think that if you commit suicide you can force me to marry you?”

“I beg you, Ou Ming. I beg you to marry me!” Shen Manting leaned toward Ou Ming. She grabbed his sleeve and looked helpless. “Why? You promised me that if I helped you save your mother, you would marry me. I have been waiting for you four years. Can’t you pretend to be with me? It doesn’t matter whether you love me or not after our marriage. We can just have a wedding and don’t be a real husband and wife. Alright? Just marry me, and I will help you.”

“Why did you choose me?” Ou Ming couldn’t understand. He looked at Shen Manting with a cold expression. “You know that I don’t love you, so why do you want to be with me? Shen Luo’an and you…”

Hearing Shen Luo’an’s name, Shen Manting’s face became pale. She screamed, “Nothing!”

Nothing? What does her answer mean? Seeing her reaction, Ou Ming believed that the relation between her and Shen Luo’an was not so simple.

“What happened between you and Shen Luo’an?” Ou Ming meaningfully looked at her hand holding his sleeve. “Shen Manting, you are a smart person. The cause of your suicide incident was definitely not me.”

No one is stupid. As for me, Shen Manting just wants to use of me instead of loving me. Ou Ming clearly knew this.

Shen Manting clearly heard what Ou Ming suggested about the suicide incident. She knew he might already know something. But, she was shred. She had already thought of repartee.

Before she could speak, Ou Ming said, “I escaped the marriage once, and I will do that another time. No one would be happy in a forced marriage. Moreover, since you don’t like me at all, why do you want us to be together?”

“Ou Ming, why don’t we make a deal?” Shen Manting looked at Ou Ming. “You like that mistress, don’t you? Then, you can stay with her. Also, after we are married, I will never hinder you from being with her. All I want is the title of Mrs. Ou. You can live with her and be with her every day. I won’t care, I…”

“I care.” Ou Ming’s face grew more serious. “Why should my woman suffer from injustice?”

“You are wrong, Ou Ming. If you do so, it will be me who will suffer from injustice! Do you think that if you don’t marry me you can marry her? Don’t you know that your mother cares about her background and family? If you really want to be with that woman, your mother won’t let you do that,” Shen Manting said with a sneer. “Even if you don’t marry me, there will be Zhang Manting or Li Manting to be your wife. Yu Lili cannot be your wife. You should give up that idea forever!”

She could see that Ou Ming was growing angrier with each word, but she continued speaking. “Only I will promise you a marriage of convenience, and that is my biggest concession. What she loses is just the tile of Mrs. Ou. If that woman really loves you and wants to be with you, she will not care about the title, will she?”

Shen Manting’s words were clearly heard by Yu Lili. They were like a knife cutting at her heart. She was in pain, but she could not say anything to refute Shen Manting.
