The 99th Divorce

Chapter 1687: Throwing Down the Trump Card

When Xia Yilin saw that everyone was pointing their finger at her and criticizing her, she became furious.

The weather was sweltering, so there were many people in the market.

The passersby in the market surrounded the women during the confrontation and became bystanders. When they heard Ye Qianqian’s words, the spectators broke out in hushed chuckles.

Xia Yilin’s complexion went from green to red to purple. She stomped her foot in fury and hollered, “Ye Qianqian, you crossed the line! How dare you act so arrogantly while hiding behind your boyfriend!”

“Hey, you’re being unreasonable here. Since when did my boyfriend offend you? It’s your own fault for seeking attention with such a big and ugly face! I’ll tell you the truth. I actually don’t even know your full name. Who even remembers you? Just because you saw that I have a handsome and rich boyfriend, you came over to rub shoulders. You were hoping he’d dump me for you, weren’t you?”

Xia Yilin’s expression turned even uglier, “How dare...”

“Oh, cut that out! You should really take a look at yourself in the mirror. My man isn’t blind!” Ye Qianqian laughed sarcastically. She hooked her arm around Shen Zhilie’s and mewed in a coquettish manner, “Darling, let’s go. Let’s just ignore here.”

The way Ye Qianqian called Shen Zhilie “Darling” made his hair stand on its ends.

They had an audience, so they needed to finish the act.

Shen Zhilie wrapped his arms around Ye Qianqian and replied, “Yeah, let’s go. Let’s just ignore the woman craving attention.”

Xia Yilin was incensed and spat out, “You’re hugging in summer? Isn’t it hot enough?”

Ye Qianqian and Shen Zhilie acted as if they hadn’t heard a word and walked away into the distance.

With the main leads gone, the audience dispersed.

As Ye Qianqian went about buying her groceries, many people looked at her.

Ye Qianqian ignored them all. When she was done with the grocery shopping, she and Shen Zhilie quickly returned home.

They had bought many items. They split the load as they made their way back.

Of course, most of the weight was in Shen Zhilie’s hands.

As Ye Qianqian walked, she rambled and said, “What the f*ck! I’ve never met anyone as ridiculous as her! The moment she saw me with a boyfriend on the street, she just had to slander me! What a crazy woman!”

“You’ve really never brought anyone back before?” Shen Zhilie took two strides forward. He turned to face her and watch her expression.

When Ye Qianqian heard his question, she paused mid-step. She looked up at Shen Zhilie’s face and angrily kicked him. She yelled, “I have not! There! Are you happy now?”

Shen Zhilie quickly rushed to catch up with her and said, “Hey, wait for me!”

Ye Qianqian refused to say another word. Her footsteps sped up.

Shen Zhilie saw that she was truly angry and hurried to admit his mistake. He said, “I was wrong, Your Majesty. Of course, I trust you, Your Highness. That woman was speaking blindly!”

Ye Qianqian refused to acknowledge him. Shen Zhilie rushed up to her and pleaded, “My dear Qianqian... My dear Missus, I was wrong.”

Ye Qianqian walked even faster, but her face slowly broke out in a smile.

In their lexicon, the word “missus” was akin to the word “wife.”

Shen Zhilie didn’t use that word lightly. That was his first time.

If she forgave him so soon, wouldn’t that be letting him off too lightly?

Hmph!

She couldn’t!

Ye Qianqian refused to look back and increased her pace to practically a jog.

Shen Zhilie had no choice but to throw down his trump card. “Did you think I came all this way just to meet your father?”

As expected, Ye Qianqian stopped in her tracks when she heard him.

She turned around to look at Shen Zhilie with widened eyes and asked, “What other reason did you have?”

Shen Zhilie heaved a sigh of relief when he saw that Ye Qianqian had finally stopped.

He took a few steps forward and replied, “I did the signing on your behalf, and all the documents have been settled. Your passport is in my car. Our flight is the day after tomorrow. We’re going to Venice.”

Ye Qianqian’s eyes went wide as her jaw dropped. She exclaimed, “Seriously? When did you get it done? What on earth? How did I now know about this at all?”
