My Toxic Ex-Wife: BOSS, Stay Away！-Chapter 539: After Modification - 547 Just Playing, Don’t Take It Seriously
At this moment, the woman next to Leng Yixiu suddenly asked, "Leng Yixiu, who is she?"
Upon hearing this, Leng Yixiu turned his eyes to the woman beside him. His hard expression softened a bit. He gently patted the woman’s shoulder and said to her, "A business partner."
A business partner?
Upon hearing this, Shi Yi only found it somewhat amusing. After all this time, to Leng Yixiu, she was only a business partner. However, he didn’t seem wrong. Leng’s and Lei Man were currently collaborating on a game software development project. In some sense, they were indeed business partners.
"So, it’s a business partner. You two chat." With that, the woman said to the shop assistant, "Take me over there to have a look."
"Sure, Miss Gu! Those over there are all new arrivals and are the most popular styles right now. I’m sure you’ll like them."
As Shi Yi watched the shop assistant lead the woman further away, she curved her lips into a mocking smile and said, "Your fiancée is quite understanding. If it were me, I would interrogate you if I saw my fiancé being approached by another woman."
Seeing Leng Yixiu pressing his thin lips together, remaining silent, Shi Yi decided to get straight to the point. "Why did you stand me up that day?"
Not getting a response for a long time, Shi Yi felt even more upset. She took a deep breath and said sternly, "It seems I need to be more straightforward. Alright then, here goes: why her and not me?"
Some women might find it difficult to ask such questions directly, but Shi Yi was an exception. After living abroad for so many years, she had always been straightforward and disliked beating around the bush. She just wanted things to be clear.
The man stared at her without blinking, neither speaking nor acting. For a moment, the air grew tense. Just as Shi Yi’s patience was running thin, she heard the man speak in a low voice.
"I’m sorry, I’ve mistaken you for someone else."
Leng Yixiu’s casual words confirmed Shi Yi’s suspicion. At that moment when the man spoke, she felt a sharp sting in her heart.
I’m sorry, I’ve mistaken you for someone else.
When she first saw the news about Leng Yixiu’s fiancée, Shi Yi had a suspicion, but she didn’t dare think further. However, Leng Yixiu’s words forced her to face a fact.
She opened her mouth, feeling a tightness in her throat, and asked in a low voice, "When you approached me and pursued me relentlessly, was it because I reminded you of your ex-wife? Or did you actually mistake me for her?"
The man shot her a deep glance, then lowered his gaze before nodding, "Yes."
Just a single "yes" shattered all of Shi Yi’s pride. She turned and pointed at the woman picking out jewelry not far away, "So, did you choose to get engaged to that woman because she looks like your ex-wife?"
"No." The man paused, then added, "Not just similar, she is her!"
Her voice, face, figure, even the position of the mole on her body, everything was identical to Lin Yixun. So many coincidences pieced together, he couldn’t deny it.
No one knew how desperate Leng Yixiu felt when he found out that Shi Yi’s DNA didn’t match Lin Yixun’s. He even had a crazy thought for a moment: if he jumped off Seaside, would he find Lin Yixun?
Gu Yilin’s appearance was like a lifeline that brought hope to his utter despair. From the first glance, he told himself that she was Lin Yixun. She had to be Lin Yixun.
So, he made an astonishing decision, getting engaged to Gu Yilin the very next day, even though he didn’t have her DNA test results yet.
Shi Yi suddenly laughed coldly, "Are you so sure she is your ex-wife?"
Leng Yixiu’s face darkened suddenly as he spoke each word clearly, "She is! If I say she is, then she is!"
"Ha... I hope so. Then, I wish you get what you desire!" Shi Yi raised her lips coldly and turned away pridefully.
As she turned, she heard the man’s low voice from behind, "I’m sorry, Leng’s and Lei Man’s collaboration can be considered compensation for you."
Compensation?
Shi Yi laughed coldly in her heart. Who needed his compensation?
She turned around coldly and flashed a seductive smile at Leng Yixiu, "No need for compensation. It was just a game. If taken seriously, you lose."
With that, Shi Yi left the luxury store without looking back. For some reason, she felt as if a heavy stone was pressing on her heart, making it hard to breathe.
Shen Xu had been waiting at the entrance. Seeing Shi Yi’s unhappy expression, he knew she hadn’t gained anything inside and asked softly, "Shi Yi, are you okay?"
"What’s wrong with me? It’s just that I’m a bit annoyed. What do you feel like eating for lunch? Come on, I’m treating you to something good."
"Great, then I won’t hold back!"
When Shi Yi was in a bad mood, she would eat a lot. Shen Xu looked at the empty plates in front of Shi Yi and couldn’t help but shake his head, "Hey Shi Yi, you didn’t really fall for Leng Yixiu, did you?"
"Fall for him?" Shi Yi sneered, "It was just my pride that got hurt."
"Just your pride?" Shen Xu asked skeptically.
"Are you going to let people eat in peace or not?"
"Okay, okay, I won’t say anymore."
Shen Xu sensibly kept silent, but Shi Yi couldn’t help but bring up Leng Yixiu’s fiancée, "Shen Xu, do you think Gu Yilin is really Leng Yixiu’s ex-wife?"
"Gu Yilin?" It took Shen Xu a moment to realize who Shi Yi was talking about. "I compared their photos online, and they do look very alike. But to say Gu Yilin is Leng Yixiu’s ex-wife, I think it’s unlikely. After all, Seaside is so high, falling from there is no joke."
Shi Yi rested her chin on one hand and thought. That made sense. Being played by Leng Yixiu like a monkey, it would be a lie if she said she had no resentment.
She was somewhat looking forward to it. She wondered what Leng Yixiu’s reaction would be when he discovered Gu Yilin wasn’t his long-lost ex-wife.
However, Shi Yi might be disappointed because, a week later, Assistant Chen handed Leng Yixiu the DNA test results, showing that Gu Yilin’s DNA completely matched Lin Yixun’s.
"Is the result reliable?"
"MRT is the most authoritative institution in the industry, with no errors in its records. If President Leng is not assured, I can find another testing agency."
Leng Yixiu waved his hand, "No need."
