The 99th Divorce

Chapter 1686: I Have My Ways of Seducing Men. What Can You Do About It?

Ye Qianqian was tickled as she watched Xia Yilin’s pathetic attempt to gain attention. She folded her arms across her chest and stated, “The tone of your speech sounds awfully bitter to me. Just what are you up to?”

Xia Yilin hadn’t expected Ye Qianqian to be that blunt, and her face betrayed her awkwardness. She replied, “What’s there to be bitter about? Aren’t we all ex-schoolmates? We haven’t seen each other in a while. Now that you’d done so well for yourself, can’t I just be a little envious?”

“Oh my lord!” Ye Qianqian quickly waved her hands. “Please don’t! Please don’t envy me at all. To be honest, I haven’t done that well. Anyway, I still have to buy my groceries. I’ll catch up with you another time!”

When Ye Qianqian was done speaking, she pulled Shen Zhilie along as she turned to walked off.

Xia Yilin saw that the situation wasn’t proceeding according to her plans and quickly rushed up to Ye Qianqian, calling out, “Say, Ye Qianqian... Why are you suddenly trying to run off? Please don’t tell me you actually have a guilty conscience!”

Ye Qianqian stopped in her tracks.

She turned her head and saw Xia Yilin’s gleeful expression of self-satisfaction.

The expression on Xia Yilin’s face made Ye Qianqian laugh. She asked, “What do I have to feel guilty about? Please enlighten me. What exactly did I do that I would harbor a guilty conscience over?”

When Xia Yilin replied, she didn’t look at Ye Qianqian. Instead, she was looking at Shen Zhilie as she asked, “Didn’t you just refuse to admit that you brought another man back before? Could it be possible that your boyfriend has no idea that you’ve brought another man home before? You really have to tell me you’re your trick is in being able to seduce these men, each one richer than the other!”

The more Xia Yilin spoke, the more apparent her bitterness was in the tone.

Everyone around could tell that Xia Yilin was out to create trouble, but no one stood out to stop here either. Everyone was more than happy to watch the drama unfold.

Ye Qianqian suddenly burst out laughing and replied, “That’s right! I’m just that capable and just that fabulous! I have my ways of seducing men. What can you do about it?”

Xia Yilin had expected Ye Qianqian to either vehemently deny it or to avoid the topic altogether. She never imagined Ye Qianqian would react with such an attitude.

Her expression instantly turned ugly.

Xia Yilin was so infuriated by Ye Qianqian’s reply that she stomped her foot and exclaimed, “How can you be so shameless?”

“How am I being shameless now? Didn’t you say all that to besmirch my name and ruin my reputation? Now that I’ve admitted to your accusations, you’re calling me shameless? Why are you so annoying?” Ye Qianqian gave a long-suffering look as she spread both hands out. Looking around at the bystanders with an expression of disbelief, she remarked, “Has anyone ever met anyone this ridiculous before?”

Xia Yilin choked on her words. She looked at Shen Zhilie furiously and insisted, “Everything I said was true! She really brought a boyfriend back before. It’s barely been a few months and here she is with another one. I’ll bet she’s using you as a back-up!”

“But of course! That goes without saying!” Ye Qianqian readily agreed. She placed her hands on her hips with a shrewish look on her face. “I’m so elegant, well-mannered, and beautiful, to boot. I have so many suitors that if I were to line them up, the queue would stretch from here to Kingstown! So, what’s wrong with me having a few as a back-up?”

Ye Qianqian’s words had all the bystanders in stitches.

Shen Zhilie was having a hard time holding back his laughter. His shoulder was quivering as he tugged Ye Qianqian back.

His action annoyed Ye Qianqian. She retorted, “Stop pulling me. Was what I said wrong?” Ye Qianqian turned back to Xia Yilin and said, “You’re here seeking attention out of the blue by dirtying my reputation in front of my boyfriend. Even if I really used him as a backup and was really seeing two men at once, that would only be because I’m actually able to! Are you? Ugly witch!”
