My Toxic Ex-Wife: BOSS, Stay Away！-Chapter 48: Revised - The Rich Are The Bosses

Lin Yixun could only comply with Ouyang Hao’s instructions, after all she owed him money. The saying about the rich being the masters is undeniably true.

Fortunately, being Ouyang Hao’s temporary assistant wasn’t difficult. Apart from serving him tea, bringing him water, and holding an umbrella to shade him, there was no other work. The only thing that made Lin Yixun uncomfortable was Cheng Ying being present.

Although seeing Cheng Ying didn’t make her feel as bad as before, there was still some resentment in her heart. She couldn’t treat her like a stranger.

And Cheng Ying didn’t seem to like her much either. Her performance had been off the whole afternoon, leading to several NGs. This surprised the crew on set, since Cheng Ying had an excellent reputation in the industry. Not only was she beautiful, but her acting skills were also solid, typically needing only one take.

Such a situation was rare.

The crew became somewhat agitated. Seeing Cheng Ying unable to get back in her groove, the director had to call for a break, suggesting she go home to rest and adjust her state.

Ouyang Hao found Cheng Ying’s reaction increasingly interesting. He glanced at Lin Yixun not far away, his seductive thin lips curving into an alluring smile.

Perhaps he wouldn’t be bored for the time being.

In the next few days, Ouyang Hao kept Lin Yixun on set, under the guise of compensatory leave for the assistant. He watched indifferently, observing the interactions between Lin Yixun and Cheng Ying as if watching a play.

Interestingly, Lin Yixun seemed to be avoiding Cheng Ying. Wherever Cheng Ying was, Lin Yixun steered clear. And Cheng Ying appeared distracted these days, to the point where the director’s face was turning an ugly shade of pig liver.

Ouyang Hao was engrossed. He was certain there was some unresolved tension between Cheng Ying and the wooden block of a woman, Lin Yixun. He watched silently, waiting for the show to begin.

Finally, Cheng Ying took the initiative to approach Lin Yixun.

Lin Yixun was busy tidying up a folding bed when she saw Cheng Ying, somewhat surprised. Today, Cheng Ying was wearing a red dress, the latest Chanel design, with a meticulously applied makeup, appearing dignified and elegant. However, Lin Yixun wasn’t sure if it was just her imagination but Cheng Ying seemed less gentle today, more haughty and aggressive.

"Have you been in T City all these years?"

Upon hearing this, Lin Yixun paused, slowly lifted her eyes, and looked at her puzzled.

"Miss Cheng, you didn’t come here just for a catch-up, did you?"

Cheng Ying’s face changed, her tenderness fading layer by layer, turning somewhat sharp. Fixing her gaze on Lin Yixun, she said in a deep voice, "Lin Yixun, you shouldn’t be here."

Lin Yixun suddenly smiled. Cheng Ying finally shed her hypocritical mask. Indeed, with no one else around, she didn’t need to pretend. At least, this way Cheng Ying was more authentic, much more pleasing to the eye than with a face full of falseness.

"If I shouldn’t be here, then tell me, where should I be?"

"Lin Yixun, have you forgotten what you said three years ago? You promised you would never appear in front of me again."

"Miss Cheng, you seem to be mistaken. What I said back then was I would disappear completely from A City. But this is T City. You can’t possibly want to deprive me of any place to live and work, can you?"

"You should understand, back then I didn’t only mean A City."

"So you mean that wherever you are, I shouldn’t show up? Sorry, I can’t do that. As long as I’m alive, we are bound to meet." Lin Yixun smiled coldly, her sharp gaze falling on Cheng Ying’s face. "But I’m really curious, why are you so concerned about my presence? Can I interpret it as fear on your part?"
