My Toxic Ex-Wife: BOSS, Stay Away！-Chapter 68: The Mistress Rises to Power?

When Cheng Ying was giving this speech, a handsome face appeared timely on the electronic screen behind her. The camera froze on his handsome face, revealing every expression without any omission.

Even though his facial expression did not change much, the gentleness and doting in his eyes were still easy to see. It was apparent that, in the eyes of this cold and ruthless big BOSS, Cheng Ying was unique.

Seeing this, everyone in the audience was envious.

"This dog couple, how do they expect us single dogs to live..." Ouyang Hao’s assistant said, full of jealousy and envy.

"What’s there to be envious about? It’s just the third wheel rising to the top." Another person said disdainfully.

"Third wheel rising to the top?"

"Don’t you know about this? It’s said that the Leng’s president used to have a wife, but Cheng Ying got in between them."

"No way? Cheng Ying doesn’t seem like that kind of person to me."

"You can never judge a book by its cover. Back then, this was a huge scandal, but later the Leng’s president probably used some means to suppress it, otherwise Cheng Ying would have been drowned in spit."

When it comes to gossip, women are always interested. Soon, another woman joined in. freeweɓnovel.cѳm

This woman said seriously, "You only got it half right. Cheng Ying did come between them, but she had her reasons."

"What reasons?" The other two asked in unison, looking curious.

"The only reason the Leng’s president married his ex-wife was because he was forced into it."

"No way! Someone like Leng Yixiu could be forced into marriage?"

"That’s now. It wasn’t like that back then. Back then, Leng Yixiu wasn’t as powerful yet. He had just taken over Leng’s and encountered a crisis. When he had no one to turn to, the mayor’s daughter in A City extended an olive branch to him." The person paused and then continued, "But this olive branch had conditions. The condition was that he had to marry her."

"That’s just taking advantage of someone’s misfortune!"

"Isn’t it? At that time, in order to save Leng’s, Leng Yixiu had to break up with his first love and marry the mayor’s daughter. With such coercion and temptation, which man could withstand it? Therefore, this marriage was doomed to be short-lived."

"First love? Could it be Cheng Ying?"

"Yes, Cheng Ying was his first love." At last, the person couldn’t help but sigh, "So, for men, career will always be more important than women. When a man’s career is in trouble, women can be sacrificed at any time. When a man succeeds in his career, a woman can then add to his glory. Seeing it this way, it seems the Leng’s president might not love Cheng Ying that much after all."

...

Their discussion wasn’t loud, but because they were close, Lin Yixun heard it clearly. She was somewhat surprised that she could endure listening to that unbearable part of the past from four years ago.

She smiled self-deprecatingly, just how numb had she become?

At some point, Cheng Ying had already stepped off the stage, smiling as she walked toward the man who had always been guarding her downstairs.

Lin Yixun suddenly lost interest, slowly withdrew her gaze, and stood up from her seat. She thought she needed a breath of fresh air.

Behind the hall, there was an outdoor public swimming pool. Due to the award ceremony, it had been cordoned off today, and there wasn’t a single person around the large pool.

Next to the pool was a small garden. In the garden, there was a banana tree and a cluster of lush wisteria flowers. Lin Yixun walked to the seat under the wisteria and decided to sit there for a while before going back in.

She didn’t know how long had passed when Ouyang Hao’s call suddenly came in.

Lin Yixun took out her phone, and replied in a low voice, "Hello, Mr. Ouyang?"
