The 99th Divorce

DeviousWhore: [Qianqian, why do you have to put it like that? The way that you’re acting disappoints me.]

Sissi: […]

Ye Qianqian was so mad that she started to laugh. Unable to put up with it any further, she called Fang Tongtong.

Fang Tongtong quickly answered the call. Right after she picked up the phone, Ye Qianqian could hear the sound of sobs coming from Fang Tongtong’s end of the line.

The words that were at the top of Ye Qianqian’s mind, which she originally intended to quickly lash out at Fang Tongtong, were instantly stuck in her throat. She could not seem to utter a single word out.

Fang Tongtong’s weeps could be heard. Choking with sobs, she yelled, “Qianqian, how could you say this to me? No matter what I do, I wouldn’t be involved in any relationship with your boyfriend!”

If there was anything that annoyed Ye Qianqian the most in her lifetime, weeping beauties who cried like Lin Daiyu from the Dream of the Red Chamber topped the list.

When Ye Qianqian heard Fang Tongtong’s sobs, she instantly lost her temper. She felt so vexed that she only wanted to curse and she yell out, “You f*cking…”

When the words came to her, she did not know how to say them.

Fang Tongtong’s sniffles grew louder. She said, “I admit that I took care of Old Shen for the past few days. But I can guarantee you that I did not harbor any improper thoughts toward him at all. I swear!”

“Are you done with your piece? Are you even crying?” Ye Qianqian had reached her peak of irritation. “Can crying solve any problems?”

Fang Tongtong simply bawled out loud and said, “Qianqian, you have to believe me no matter what. I took care of Old Shen for the past few days, but I never once thought about snatching your boyfriend. I admit that I do find Old Shen charismatic. He looks handsome. He’s rich and even treats his girlfriend extremely well. But I know what belongs to me and what does not. Qianqian, do you know that I truly treat you as my best friend? The incident between me and Old Shen was merely an accident. If Old Shen hadn’t stopped me, I almost let it out to you already. I’ve let you down…”

“What?” Ye Qianqian felt as if her heart was mercilessly smothered by an invisible hand. “Did you say that something happened between you and Old Shen? What accident?”

Fang Tongtong’s sobs abruptly ceased.

As if she instantly realized that she had slipped up, she began to stumble over her words, “I…”

“What do you mean? Explain it to me clearly!” Ye Qianqian’s tone of voice wasn’t calm. “What exactly happened between you and Old Shen?”

“An accident?”

Fang Tongtong remained silent for a very long time before she eventually replied, “Old Shen really loves you. No matter how he lied to you, he still loves you. He’s just afraid to upset you…”

“I’m asking what happened between the two of you? What accident?” Ye Qianqian was truly pissed. Her voice was booming loud. With a sudden slam on the table, she stood up and said, “make yourself clear!”

Although most of the people in the office had gone out, there were still a few colleagues who had brought their own food to eat in the office.

They were eating their meals when they heard Ye Qianqian holler. Everyone turned to look at her.

Ye Qianqian’s eyes were slightly red. It was clear that she had already flown off the handle.

“This is bad…”

Ye Qianqian’s colleagues exchanged looks. Her editor quickly walked out and yelled, “What’s the matter, Ye Qianqian? Can’t a person take an afternoon nap in peace?”

Ye Qianqian’s attention was completely focused on listening to the voice that spoke on the other end of the phone.

Instead of a reply from Fang Tongtong, all that she got was the engaged tone of the phone.

The call had been hung up.
