The 99th Divorce

Yu Lili squatted down and flipped through the photos. The tears filling her eyes couldn’t help but fall down.

What should I do…

The photo frames were still the ones she had always been familiar with, while the fixed scenes of her happy moments were all gone.

What should I do…

Suddenly, she thought of the desk inside the room. On the desk was a thick diary. With her various feelings recorded in it.

Yu Lili looked back, but only found the wreckage of the desk lying on the floor quietly. That diary had already disappeared. She rummaged under the bed and the wardrobe, but it was nowhere.

Yu Lili opened the wardrobe and found that the clothes in it were all sprayed with wax. The wardrobe was filled with a few remaining top-brand clothes as well as some decent clothes that she had bought through living alone in these years. Those clothes that had been carefully protected by her all these years were ruined at her own home and in her own wardrobe. They were damaged without anything left. Seeing the whole wardrobe’s colorful spray wax, Yu Lili was in a trance.

The onlookers outside had entered her home. Seeing that, Yu Lili’s neighbor, Aunt Zhao, comforted her, face full of sympathy. “Girl, you’d better call the police. Those evildoers are bound to be punished in the end since our community has monitors everywhere.”

“Yeah, this has gone too far.”

“How could they bully you like this? I wonder how they got in our community. What are those security guards for?”

…

Wave upon wave of noise flew over this small messy apartment, making it particularly boisterous. She took her phone out of the bag. The first thing she did was not calling the police but long-pressing on 1. Soon the call page flashed out on the screen and Ou Ming’s name came into view.

The sadness and pain in Yu Lili’s heart got more and more violent when she saw Ou Ming’s name. Why did everything turn into this? The present situation was not what she had expected. She shouldn’t have been like this…

She should have lived like a proud peacock to let Ou Ming know that his canary wouldn’t die without him. One day, she would become successful and stand by him.

When people talked about her, they wouldn’t say: Yu Lili is just Ou Ming’s mistress.

Instead, they would say: She’s awesome and worthy of him.

It should be like that, but why would everything become like this… Seeing his name, Yu Lili’s tears rushed down like a flood without a dam. Suddenly, her phone vibrated slightly and the timing started on the calling page…

–

Ou Ming was engaging in a social activity at seven o’clock in the evening when his phone rang. It was a totally strange number attributed to Beijing. Ou Ming had intended to ignored it. But somehow, he couldn’t help but recall the thing his assistant had told him about Yu Lili today.

Yu Lili, Beijing.

The sound of his partners was fading away from his ears. Unexpectedly, he picked up the phone. But what he could only hear was the noise mixes with all kinds of speaking sounds. He could hardly hear what the other side was saying. Ou Ming remained silent, holding the phone and listening to the sound from over the phone. Nevertheless, a low sniffing and sobbing came instead of the speaking sound of the person over the phone.

His heart seemed to have been seized abruptly, and he tightened his hand on the phone quietly…
