My Toxic Ex-Wife: BOSS, Stay Away！-Chapter 540: After Modification - 548 Aren’t You Afraid that Showing Off Your Love Will End Quickly?
After having dinner, Shi Yi’s mood finally improved a bit. Shen Xu was considerate; although he had a meeting in the afternoon, he still drove Shi Yi to the entrance of her residential area.
When Shi Yi was about to get out of the car, Shen Xu hesitated for a moment but eventually spoke, "Do you want me to take over the Leng’s and Lei Man’s case, after all, you and Yixiu..."
"No need." Shi Yi interrupted him, "Business is business, personal is personal, I can still distinguish between the two. Since I was responsible for this case from the beginning, I naturally must see it through to the end."
"Are you sure you’re okay?"
Shi Yi suddenly chuckled, "What could possibly be wrong with me? Big brother, I won’t deny it, I did have a bit of a feeling for Leng Yixiu. Being played by him definitely hurts, but it’s not to the extent of wailing and wallowing in misery. So, don’t worry about it, I’m fine."
Shen Xu stared at her for a few seconds, seeing no sign of distress on her face, he nodded, "Alright then, I won’t interfere with this case. Handle it as you see fit."
After bidding farewell to Shen Xu, Shi Yi turned and walked into the residential area. However, the moment she turned around, the smile on her face vanished. The truth was that although her mood had improved a bit after a grand meal, something still seemed stuck deep down, making her feel uncomfortable all over.
She didn’t know if it was because of her ego or...
Shi Yi shook her head vigorously, trying to stop herself from thinking more. Leng Yixiu had approached her initially only because he mistook her for his ex-wife. Now that the misunderstanding was cleared up, everything had returned to square one.
Thinking about it, Shi Yi, the dignified Lei Man CEO, wouldn’t be this low, being played like a monkey, and still pining for that person. If she kept dwelling on this matter, it would truly be degrading.
Even though she had mentally prepared herself, the gloom in Shi Yi’s heart remained. What made her even more annoyed was that she ran into someone she despised at the elevator entrance.
Wasn’t Ouyang Hao’s house always vacant before? Why did she run into him every few days recently?
Shi Yi already disliked Ouyang Hao, and with her bad mood today, seeing him worsened it. As soon as the elevator doors opened, Shi Yi stepped in first, as if doing so could keep this detestable man a thousand miles away.
However, she overestimated her luck.
Ouyang Hao did not avoid her but followed her into the elevator. The unpleasant encounter in the elevator last time left Shi Yi with a certain psychological shadow.
She nervously stared at the prominent red numbers that kept changing in front of her, just wishing she could quickly reach her floor. However, time seemed to stretch infinitely long and slow.
Suddenly, a man’s voice sounded behind her, "I heard you got dumped by Leng Yixiu?"
The man’s voice wasn’t loud but it clearly reached Shi Yi’s ears, carrying a tinge of schadenfreude, like a spark igniting the smoldering anger buried deep within Shi Yi.
Shi Yi abruptly turned around, looked at Ouyang Hao, and couldn’t help but curse, "It’s none of your damn business!"
Ouyang Hao looked down at Shi Yi, seeing her angry face and eyes almost spitting fire, for some reason, he found it very amusing.
"How could it not matter to me? After all..." The man suddenly took a few steps forward, propping one hand on the elevator wall, his sexy thin lips slightly curved, "We’re neighbors. You finally got out of trouble, and as a neighbor, I should congratulate you."
Seeing Ouyang Hao’s gloating face, Shi Yi almost wanted to punch him. Ouyang Hao, with great interest, observed the changing expressions on her face, saw the fire in her eyes, and raised his hand to point to the elevator door behind her.
"Miss Shi, you’ve arrived."
Hearing this, Shi Yi turned around and indeed saw the elevator door had opened. She took a deep breath, forcing down her anger, gave Ouyang Hao a fierce glare, and remarked coldly, "You are so boring!"
After saying this, Shi Yi stepped out of the elevator in her high heels. Ouyang Hao’s gaze followed her back until the closing elevator doors blocked his view.
"Boring?" The man lowered his eyes, with a hint of a smile at the corners of his mouth, muttering to himself.
However, it seemed Shi Yi was right, he indeed was very bored recently. If he weren’t utterly bored, why would he initiate a conversation with Shi Yi? Why move back here, far from his workplace?
...
Since the announcement of Leng Yixiu and Gu Yilin’s engagement, for more than half a month, gossip news about their high-profile romance was everywhere online.
"Aren’t they afraid of it fizzling out once exposed?" Shi Yi muttered while staring at the computer screen showing the joyfully smiling couple.
The photo on the computer was taken at a welfare home. Leng Yixiu used to attend such occasions occasionally, always alone, but this time, he appeared with Gu Yilin, indicating her significant position in his heart.
Unintentionally, Shi Yi learned that besides attending various official events together, Leng Yixiu intended to "promote" Gu Yilin into the entertainment industry. She wasn’t sure if this was Leng Yixiu’s idea or Gu Yilin’s own desire.
Shi Yi figured it was more likely the latter. Considering Leng Yixiu’s personality, he probably wouldn’t approve of his woman venturing into the complex entertainment industry.
Shi Yi propped her chin with one hand, contemplating while finding it amusing. What was she doing? Whatever Leng Yixiu and his fiancée decided to do, what did it matter to her?
Hence, Shi Yi clicked her mouse and closed the webpage. She gradually refocused her mind, investing her thoughts into the development of the new game software.
Currently, the game software development was in its final stages, and Lei Man’s task was almost complete. The next steps were mainly Leng Group’s responsibility. According to the contract, Lei Man was in charge of software development while Leng’s handled the post-launch promotion.
Regarding game promotion, the choice of a spokesperson was crucial. In this aspect, Shi Yi had considerable confidence in Leng’s, after all, Leng Group was a top-notch domestic company and they wouldn’t skimp on promotional expenses.
However, the result left Shi Yi greatly disappointed.
Shi Yi never expected that Leng’s would choose Leng Yixiu’s fiancée, Gu Yilin, to be their game’s spokesperson. When Shi Yi learned about this from Shen Xu, she was livid.
With so many popular stars in the country, why would Leng Yixiu choose an inexperienced, unknown novice as a spokesperson?
Fuming, Shi Yi stormed right into Leng Group’s president’s office. She kicked the office door open and threw the folder in her hand onto Leng Yixiu’s desk.
"President Leng, don’t you think you owe me an explanation for this?"
