My Toxic Ex-Wife: BOSS, Stay Away！-Chapter 558 - 656: The Cruel Truth

Cold liquid poured into her nose, the air in her lungs being consumed bit by bit. Shi Yi opened her mouth, wanting to breathe, only to realize it was like drinking poison to quench her thirst. Instead of feeling better, the air left in her lungs was squeezed out by the water. 𝓯𝙧𝙚𝒆𝙬𝙚𝒃𝙣𝙤𝒗𝓮𝓵.𝙘𝙤𝙢

The feeling of suffocation attacked instantly. Shi Yi instinctively wanted to struggle, but found her body tightly bound by ropes, making even struggling a luxury.

With difficulty, she opened her eyes and looked towards the cold water surface. Through the turbulent water, she could vaguely see Gu Yilin’s figure. She saw her body rising bit by bit, finally being pulled onto the diving board by someone. Evidently, she was temporarily out of danger.

Shi Yi’s lips curled bitterly. Indeed, different people have different fates. Gu Yilin was treasured by Leng Yixiu, while she herself had always been abandoned.

Ha... how ridiculous!

With the air in her body depleted, Shi Yi closed her eyes powerlessly, only feeling her body suddenly becoming light, as if stepping onto a cloud.

In a dream or a hallucination, familiar yet unfamiliar faces and scenes suddenly flashed in her mind.

...

"75, 60, 80, with that figure? Don’t you know that the women around me must meet one condition?"

"?"

"If the measurements aren’t 82, 61, 87, I won’t want them. So you’re fired."

...

"What, surprised to see me? After all, we’re old friends. Leaving without a greeting, isn’t that a bit rude?"

"Is this how you treat your sponsor?"

...

"I was once indulgent and reckless, but Lin Yixun’s appearance changed me. He taught me how to respect a person, how to love a person, how to be a responsible and accountable man.

She showed me that a woman could be so stubborn, so resilient. Although her past was full of hardships, and her beauty had faded, to me, she is the most wonderful, the most unique in this world."

...

"I can help you convince the patient’s family. But I have one condition."

"What condition?"

"Come back to me."

"You dream?"

"Don’t you want to save your mother?"

...

"Leng Yixiu, I am already tired, I don’t want to continue any longer. Leng Yixiu, let go."

"Lin Yixun, don’t say foolish things! If you are tired, after I pull you up, you shall rest more."

"But what if I miss my mom and dad? Without me, they must be very bored down there. And Xing Yi, he’s alone down there, he must be lonely. I owe him too much in this life, I must repay him. Leng Yixiu, I already know that the Leng’s crisis back then was caused by me and my dad. But later, we paid the price for it too. The grievances between you and me are settled. Take good care of the child, treat her doubly well for my sake."

...

Like a film, numerous scenes flashed through Shi Yi’s mind. She discovered, to her sorrow, that she was actually that utterly pathetic ex-wife of Leng Yixiu!

Ha... how ridiculous!

Shi Yi mocked herself with a curl of her lips. This way, she could take this secret to her eternal rest underground, avoiding the torment that burns her to the bone!

However, for Zheng Hao, the show had just begun. He had his men pull Gu Yilin up from under the diving board as agreed and safely delivered her to Leng Yixiu.

Gu Yilin seemed to have been greatly frightened. Upon seeing Leng Yixiu, she rushed into his arms and began to cry, "Xiu, I thought I’d never see you again! I thought the baby and I... sob, sob..."

"It’s okay, everything is okay now." Leng Yixiu lightly patted her back, but his eyes remained fixed on the sparkling water surface of the swimming pool.

From a distance, he couldn’t see what lay underwater. It had already been at least two or three minutes since Shi Yi fell into the water, and he thought that she probably had little chance of survival.

He slowly withdrew his gaze, suppressing the guilt and inexplicable unease in his heart. In this matter, he did owe Shi Yi immensely, but he had people to protect—this woman in his arms, the child in her womb, the daughter whose condition was worsening bit by bit.

These factors didn’t allow for his soft-heartedness.

"Leng Yixiu, I, Zheng Hao, keep my promises. I said I would leave one behind, and I did. Since you chose Miss Gu, I naturally wouldn’t harm a hair on her head. You can go now, but don’t fall into my hands next time."

Leng Yixiu’s gaze slowly withdrew from the sparkling pool surface, suspiciously eyeing the man opposite him. This result was somewhat surprising to him.

Zheng Hao’s reputation in the circle wasn’t good. He was ruthless and not kind-hearted. Because of Cheng Ying’s death, he hated him to the bone. How could he so easily let him go after finally having the chance to deal with him this time?

As expected, in the next moment, Leng Yixiu saw Zheng Hao’s lips curl into a strange smile, "Hmm... there’s something I forgot to tell you. Not sure if you’re interested?"

Leng Yixiu’s eyes darkened, and he coldly said, "Sorry, I’m not interested."

"Not interested?" Zheng Hao wasn’t in a hurry to close the net since his prey had nowhere to escape, "Don’t you want to know the identity of the woman who fell into the pool?"

What identity?

Upon hearing this, Gu Yilin’s heart skipped a beat. She quickly grabbed Leng Yixiu’s shoulder and whispered, "Xiu, let’s go quickly!"

Leng Yixiu nodded to her. Given his understanding of Zheng Hao, whatever Zheng Hao said next would definitely not be pleasant.

However, the right to speak was in Zheng Hao’s hands, not his.

"Ha ha ha... how ridiculous and pitiful. The person you’ve been missing so dearly died right in front of you, and you didn’t even know it. Leng Yixiu, you really are smart all your life, confused just once."

Zheng Hao’s words were neither light nor heavy, but like a bomb exploded in Leng Yixiu’s mind. He suddenly stopped, turned around, and looked at the man behind him, asking word-by-word, "What did you just say?"

"I said the person in the pool is the one you’ve been missing all these years—Lin Yixun."

Zheng Hao’s words were like heavy hammers, beating on the man’s heart one by one. Leng Yixiu felt a loud "boom" in his head, as if something was collapsing bit by bit.

"No, you’re lying. How could Shi Yi, how could she be Lin Yixun? Lin Yixun is clearly..."

"You think it’s her?" Zheng Hao pointed in Gu Yilin’s direction, with a sarcastic smile on his lips, "You think Gu Yilin is Lin Yixun? Ha ha... why don’t you ask her yourself, ask what kind of person she really is?"
