The 99th Divorce

“Mila.” Ye Youyou interrupted Mila’s words. “If I were to take advantage of this situation, would it be effective?”

Mila was stunned. She had been prepared for a long attempt to convince Ye Youyou to play this situation up to her advantage. She never expected Ye Youyou to ask about it on her own.

Mila thought for a moment and then answered, “If you’re set on playing this situation up to your advantage, leave it to me. If any other artiste had such an opportunity, I would do it immediately without a second thought. But you are my friend, and I don’t want you to blame me for this in the future. Youyou, if you’re really willing to take advantage of this situation, I have confidence in making you a success. As for whether or not you’ll be able to maintain that success will depend on you.”

Like numerous little girls, Ye Youyou’s dream since she was a child was to become a big star.

Upon hearing Mila’s words, Ye Youyou was a little moved. It was everyone’s dream to be successful and live a good life. Age and gender didn’t matter when it came to such a goal.

Ye Youyou was silent for a while, then asked, “What’s the risk?”

“The crisis has already occurred, and that is that the whole world now knows you were hiding your marriage to the Young Master of the Shen family. Even if you wanted to hide it now, it would be impossible. On the other hand, in order to use it to your advantage, this would need to be publicized even more.”

“Then, would it bring any harm upon the Shen family?”

“The harm to the Shen family is not caused by you. It’s caused by their own actions. All you’re doing is maximizing your advantage. But once this succeeds, will your husband hate you for it?”

Hate?

Ye Youyou bit her lip. “Do it, Mila. I’m prepared.”

A weird feeling nagged at Mila, and she warned her, “If your marriage were to crack because of this, would you be okay with that?”

“Even if I don’t do this, my marriage will still have cracks.” Ye Youyou chewed on her lip and looked at the mirrors in the distance, suddenly feeling a sense of unexplainable coldness envelope her. “I’ll leave it all to you, Mila. Just let me know what I need to do.”

“Alright, then. I’ll contact you again if I need you to coordinate with me.”

“Alright.”

……

Ye Youyou hung up and sat on the couch to watch some news.

All the major news websites were dominated by the stories of celebrity drug scandals. However, some netizens did pose the question, “Was this done to save the Shen Siblings? Their PR team is outstanding.”

She scrolled further and found herself mentioned among the trending topics.

“Breaking news! The identity of Shen Luo’an’s wife has been revealed! She’s Ye Youyou, an up-and-coming actress in the entertainment circle!

Ye Youyou clicked on the article to keep reading. Did they just refer to her as an “up-and-coming actress in the entertainment circle?”

Although this wasn’t proper news, seeing these words still made her a little happy.

Once inside, she saw that the comments and sentiments were mixed.

[Just a normal Mrs. Li]: What up-and-coming actress is this? Yeah right! Any unknown actress can now be described as up-and-coming! If that’s the case, Jin Fanfan should be a goddess! Support Goddess Jin Fanfan @Jinfanfan

[Double-click 666 to enter heaven]: I vaguely recall this lady. She’s already married? She has such a childlike face, holy crap!

[Bao Lian]: The Shen Siblings are shameless. I pity this starlet. She finally managed to marry a rich man, but I never expected him to be such a dog.

[Super cute pig]: What a talent! The third party in her marriage is her own sister-in-law? She must be severely lacking in charm!

…

Ye Youyou was scrolling through the comments when her cell phone vibrated, and a message popped up.

[Mila]: Post on Weibo. It’s begun.
