The 99th Divorce

Chapter 1636: You’re Still My Son-in-Law at the End of the Day

Li Jinnan’s lips tightened into a straight line. His brows were furrowed in concentration. His expression was a perfect picture of seriousness.

Ye Youyou watched him with her heart on edge. She began to see him in a completely new light.

She had never expected Li Jinnan to possess this sharp side to him.

Ye Tian had been moved by Li Jinnan’s words. Through clenched teeth, she ground out, “He’s a piece of trash too! He knew full well that Guan Queye had committed suicide but kept insisting that it was Ye Youyou who murdered her. It almost resulted in Ye Youyou having to be imprisoned! That old bastard is just like the small bastard! They’re both inhumane!”

The words Ye Tian uttered aloud made Ye Youyou’s heart freeze. Her eyes went wide with disbelief.

Guan Queye had committed suicide?

In other words, everything Guan Yanhong had done was nothing but an act.

They had already known the truth a long time ago but had chosen not to voice it.

Ye Youyou’s already hardened heart was chilled yet again by the excruciating heartlessness of their actions.

She had initially thought that she had seen the worst of them.

When she heard that Ye Tian had been an accomplice in hiding such an important truth, she couldn’t help but feel saddened by it.

Looking at Ye Tian standing in front of her, Ye Youyou wanted to laugh. She pursed her lips and eventually held her laughter back.

“Who was the one who called the police just now?”

A firm and authoritative voice rang out. Both Ye Tian and Ye Youyou were caught by surprise and turned to look.

Four police officers walked over to where they were. They instantly saw that car that had been splashed with a myriad of colors.

“It was I,” Li Jinnan replied.

“What’s the situation?” a police officer asked.

As Li Jinnan summarized the sequence of events, Ye Tian began to get worried.

She instinctively took a step back but was held in place by one of the police officers.

“Please come with us,” a police officer said. “Sir, you’ll have to come with us too.”

Li Jinnan bowed his head slightly in agreement and replied, “That may be the case, but there’s something else that I need your help handling.”

“Whatever it is, we can talk about it at the police station,” the police officer said. “Just leave the situation here to us. We’ll get someone to do identify the make of the car, its age and mileage, and do a valuation of the vehicle. After that, we’ll extract the compensation from this lady over here, and it’ll be concluded.”

As the police officer spoke, he looked at the car and shook his head with a click of his tongue. “I can tell from one look that this car isn’t cheap. It must have cost at least $140,000!

At the mention of the amount, Ye Tian’s face turned white in horror.

At present, the divorce proceedings between Yan Guanhong and Ye Tian were already underway. If everything went according to plan, she would not receive a single cent after the divorce.

She would not be receiving any alimony, much less anything else.

Where was she going to find a $140,000?

Li Jinnan had already come to a decision when he saw the look on Ye Tian’s face and said, “Madam Ye, perhaps we could have a discussion and have this settled out of court.”

The police officers looked at each other. They couldn’t comprehend what this young man was trying to do.

“This is such an expensive car,” a police officer said. “Even if you were to settle it out of court, it isn’t going to change anything if she can’t afford it!”

Judging from Ye Tian’s clothes, it didn’t seem like she couldn’t afford it.

Why then, was her facial reaction so extreme?

Upon hearing Li Jinnan’s words, Ye Tian reacted as if she had finally caught hold of a lifeline and immediately responded, “Out of court! We’ll settle it out of court! You’re still my son-in-law at the end of the day, you can’t seriously be expecting me to pay the full amount, can you?”

That statement sounded ludicrous to Ye Youyou’s ears. She retorted, “Why didn’t you think of the consequences when you hired people to vandalize his car? Moreover, who are you calling your son-in-law? My relationship with you is no longer that of a mother and daughter, Madam Ye.”

Ye Tian’s face changed drastically. Between clenched teeth, she said, “Ye Youyou, you’re an unfilial daughter!”
