The 99th Divorce

Chapter 1633: Why are You Even Bothering with this Act Now?

As she stumbled into empty air, the elegant bearing Ye Tian had worked so hard to achieve was gone in a poof.

With evident animosity on her face, she yelled, “Ye Youyou, what are you doing? Can’t you see this scumbag bullying your mother? Is this how you treat your mom?”

Ye Youyou’s only reply to that question was a cold expression.

Ye Tian saw that she wasn’t talking and grew annoyed. She demanded angrily, “Ye Youyou!”

When Ye Youyou heard her yell her name, she walked over to Li Jinnan’s side instead.

After Li Jinnan was done with his police report and had described the situation in a nutshell to them, he stood beside his car.

Ye Tian’s clothing were in a mess, and her perfectly-coiffed hair had come undone.

When she saw her own reflection, she couldn’t help but feel that she had lost her authoritative upper hand.

Such a reality would have been a hard pill for anyone to swallow, much less Ye Tian.

Throughout all these years, she had finally gotten everything she had wanted and desired.

In the end, it all been destroyed by Ye Youyou.

Ye Tian walked toward Ye Youyou. Reaching her hand out to grab Ye Youyou’s, she demanded, “You will come with me. Now!”

Ye Youyou sidestepped her and emotionlessly asked, “What are you doing now?”

“What am I doing?” Ye Tian snorted. “I’m taking my daughter home!”

Ye Youyou reacted as if that was the most ironic thing she had ever heard. She inched further away to the side and replied, “Am I your daughter?”

“Whose daughter are you if you aren’t mine?”

“I thought that Guan Queye was your only daughter.”

Ye Youyou’s comment was made sarcastically. It was accompanied by a mirthless laughter. “All these years, you’ve never truly treated me as a daughter. Why are you even bothering with this act now?”

Ye Tian reacted to that question as if she were in great shock.

With scattered strands of flyaway hairs as the backdrop for her expression, Ye Tian looked to be even more down and out.

Deeply aggrieved, Ye Tian looked at Ye Youyou with eyes brimming with sadness and asked, “How could you even think that? All these years, if I didn’t treat you as my daughter, I would have chased you away long ago!”

“In truth, you already chased me away.” Ye Youyou’s heart began to ache as memories of the past surfaced.

Back then, when Guan Queye had met with the incident, Ye Tian had sprawled herself on Guan Queye’s bed, wailing and sobbing as she begged “her precious daughter” to recover.

Back then, everyone had given Ye Youyou the cold shoulder.

In addition to the blame that others had placed on her, Ye Youyou had also been drowning in self-guilt.

When she could no longer endure the blame that was eating at her from within, she chose to leave the Guan family and residence.

She had hoped that Ye Tian would make an effort to stop her.

What happened in reality chilled her to her bone.

Not only had Ye Tian not stopped her, she had even encouraged her wholeheartedly, saying, “That’s a good idea. You should move out. We’ll discuss the rest later.”

Even for a long time after that statement, “later” never came.

Ye Youyou did not want to return to the home of the Guan family.

She had still wanted very much to acknowledge her mother back then.

Unexpectedly, when she had gotten severely injured in the filming accident and had been hospitalized for over a month, Ye Tian had only visited her twice.

Moreover, each visit had barely lasted an afternoon before she’d hurry off.

Compared to her reaction toward Guan Queye’s incident, Ye Tian had sorely neglected Ye Youyou.

This time...

When Guan Queye died, Ye Tian had slapped Ye Youyou in public right in front of everyone.

Ye Youyou now saw everything clearly.

Perhaps Ye Tian had never ever treated Ye Youyou as part of her new family.

Perhaps she had been nothing more than the unwanted child from the previous marriage.
