The 99th Divorce

Never in her wildest dreams had Ye Youyou imagined that Ye Tian would make such a request.

This is definitely overboard!

Her first reaction was to think that Ye Tian was making a joke. When her mother’s face remained serious for more than a few moments, Ye Youyou realized she wasn’t joking at all.

Ye Tian said, “Youyou, you are aware that many things have happened to Queye recently. If not for what happened to Queye, the one to marry Luo’an would never have been you. So…”

“Mom,” Ye Youyou interrupted Ye Tian. “You don’t have to remind me of that. Furthermore, you should not be asking me for this particular thing. I think it would be more appropriate if you asked it from Luo’an directly.”

That had been what Ye Tian thought as well, but Shen Luo’an’s temper was known to be eccentric and extreme. Additionally, he displayed symptoms of mild paranoia. She was afraid that if she asked Shen Luo’an directly, he wouldn’t even bother to give her the time of the day. However, Ye You was his wife after all, so stood a higher chance of succeeding.

Ye Tian grappled back and forth regarding what to do. She looked at Ye Youyou and said, “You know what Luo’an’s temper is like. If…”

“Was this your idea, Uncle?” Ye Youyou looked to Guan Yanhong and asked. “How is Older Sister doing now? I haven’t visited her in a long time.”

The expression on Guan Yanhong’s face did not change at all. When he deciphered the true meaning behind Ye Youyou’s question, he nodded his head without missing a beat and replied, “You weren’t able to visit her because you’ve been busy this year. Throughout this time, her situation has improved a lot. Should you have the time, we can arrange a date to go out together.”

Is he trying to say that because I haven’t visited her, her situation has improved?

Ye Youyou understood the underlying meaning of Guan Yanhong’s words when she heard his reply. She feigned ignorance and pretended not to have understood it.

With a smile and a nod of her head, she said, “Sure, Uncle! Just give me a call whenever you are free. Regarding the thing of Luo’an’s that you want me to obtain, I can’t do it. After all, it is highly unlikely that a normal person would keep something like that lying around. I’m afraid I won’t be able to help you. Apologies. Alternatively, I could help you pass the message and have Luo’an deliver it to you himself.”

The brows on Guan Yanhong’s face knitted together suddenly. It was evident that he was extremely displeased with Ye Youyou’s reply. By saying that “a normal person” wouldn’t keep something like that lying around, she was insinuating that they weren’t normal.

She wants to pass the message and have Shen Luo’an deliver it himself?

What a joke! Ye Youyou knew it was impossible that Shen Luo’an would even entertain that thought!

“Youyou, how can you speak to Uncle in that manner?” Ye Tian admonished with a frown.

Ye Youyou laughed when she heard that and replied, “Did I say anything wrong at all? If I said anything to displease you, please point it out, and I will improve on myself.”

Ye Tian became speechless when she heard that and didn’t know what else to say.

Ye Youyou stood up and waved her hands as she said, “My hand is injured, and I just took some medication that makes me drowsy. If there is nothing else, I’ll be going to rest.” She looked exhausted as she made a show of trying to keep her eyes open. “The side-effects of the medication are too strong. I can barely keep my eyes open. There’s food and drinks in the fridge. Please help yourselves.”

With that, she walked into her room without looking back.

Ye Tian had not expected Ye Youyou to give them such an icy reception. With an awkward laugh, she looked at her husband and said, “This child changed really quickly. She was never like that when she stayed at home with us.”
