My Toxic Ex-Wife: BOSS, Stay Away！-Chapter 489 - 499: Get Your Dirty Hands Off!

Shi Yi followed the locksmith and property manager into the apartment door; after a few steps, she saw the ground covered with water, and they quickly found the "culprit" behind all this.

Things turned out somewhat differently from what Shi Yi anticipated. The apartment leak wasn’t caused by a faucet left on or broken, but by the swimming pool on the rooftop.

The property manager had no choice but to drain the swimming pool, which wasn’t something that could be done quickly.

Feeling bored, Shi Yi instinctively examined the apartment. It was two stories high, with an outdoor swimming pool on the roof next to a small garden. The decoration was simple yet luxurious, exuding a modern sense of fashion, clearly indicating that the owner was likely a young person.

She walked slowly to the edge of the swimming pool, staring at the water that kept swaying in front of her. For some reason, she felt that this place seemed somewhat familiar.

Strange images flashed in her mind; she squinted, trying to grasp them, but found that they vanished in an instant.

She smiled faintly, thinking to herself about her wild imagination. After handling the matter here, she probably needs to go back and take a nap.

After an unknown period of time, the pool water was finally completely drained. With the problem solved, Shi Yi naturally didn’t want to waste any more time here and followed the property manager downstairs.

As she passed through the living room, her attention was unconsciously drawn to a large poster, which occupied almost the entire opposite wall. Yet, the poster only displayed the hazy side profile of a woman.

Shi Yi was a photography enthusiast. Based on her years of experience, she could tell that the poster wasn’t made by a professional, nor was the woman a professional model. She was confident that this poster was merely a product of a spur-of-the-moment snapshot.

It was rare to see a snapshot made into a poster hanging in the living room unless the owner of the house...

As if guided by an invisible hand, Shi Yi’s steps unconsciously moved closer to the poster. She slowly extended her hand, stood on tiptoe, and lightly touched the woman’s cheek with her fingertips. 𝒻𝘳𝘦𝘦𝘸ℯ𝒷𝘯𝘰𝑣ℯ𝑙.𝘤𝑜𝘮

Even though it was just a side profile, and the woman’s appearance wasn’t clear, Shi Yi’s heart ached slightly when she saw the poster.

Why? Why did she feel this way?

Shi Yi frowned, pondering, but at that moment, an unexpected force tightly grabbed her wrist. The sudden pain made her snap back to reality. She instinctively looked up, only to see a familiar, handsome face, now terrifying due to extreme anger.

"Get your filthy hands off!" The man’s forehead veins bulged, and his words were ruthless.

The man’s grip was strong, almost crushing Shi Yi’s bones, but what infuriated her most were the man’s insulting words.

Shi Yi, furious, laughed, "So this place belongs to Mr. Ouyang? What a coincidence. I’d like to know, though, how are my hands dirty?"

She only reached out to touch the poster, without damaging it in the slightest. Was this man really that angry? Did he need to be so harsh in his words?

"Your mistake was touching it!" Ouyang Hao abruptly released her hand and spoke coldly.

Shi Yi disliked the tone in which Ouyang Hao spoke, so she responded, "So what if I touched it? It’s just an ordinary poster; even if I damaged it, what’s the big deal? I’d be happy to compensate you."

The man squinted at her words and responded coldly, "Compensate? With what? Can you afford it?"

"Though I’m not from a wealthy family, I can certainly afford a poster," Shi Yi retorted fearlessly, meeting the man’s cold gaze, and suddenly smiled, "But considering I haven’t damaged the poster, I won’t be taken for a fool. On the contrary, Mr. Ouyang, your swimming pool leak has soaked my apartment ceiling. How should we settle this account?"

"How do you propose to settle it?"

Seeing Ouyang Hao’s arrogant attitude, Shi Yi sneered inwardly. His current demeanor showed no signs of acknowledging his wrongdoing. Initially, the damage to her apartment ceiling was minor and would likely be fine after a few days of ventilation. She hadn’t intended to pursue the matter. However, seeing Ouyang Hao’s attitude now, she decided to change her mind.

She raised her chin slowly and said, "Since Mr. Ouyang is at fault here, shouldn’t you first apologize to me?"

"Apologize? My apology is not something you can handle," Ouyang Hao laughed coldly.

From their first meeting, Ouyang Hao had a poor impression of the woman before him. In his view, she was too calculating and opportunistic. Later, the scandal involving her and Leng Yixiu made him despise her even more. Sometimes, a person’s appearance reveals their inner character; this woman didn’t seem respectable. The position of Lei Man CEO was likely obtained through her body.

Thinking so, the sarcasm in Ouyang Hao’s eyes deepened. He never showed a friendly face to people he disliked. This woman wanting him to apologize was simply a pipe dream!

Ouyang Hao’s words undoubtedly angered Shi Yi. She found herself unable to maintain her usual pride in her composure in front of this man.

"Mr. Ouyang, don’t you think you’re being excessive?"

"Excessive?" The man glanced at her dismissively, looking at her as if she were insignificant dust.

"Your swimming pool leak caused some damage to my apartment. Shouldn’t you apologize to me for that? You said I can’t handle your apology, so I’m asking Mr. Ouyang, why can’t I?" Due to her anger, Shi Yi’s words came quickly.

Ouyang Hao felt like fireworks were bursting constantly in his ears. He impatiently frowned and said, "I will compensate you for whatever loss was caused."

"Do you think I lack money? I want your apology! You must apologize for today’s incident!"

"Apologize?" Ouyang Hao smirked and looked at Shi Yi disdainfully, "You’re just a woman who climbed up using men. What qualifies you to receive my apology?"

Ouyang Hao’s increasingly harsh words enraged Shi Yi. She stared at him intently, speaking slowly and clearly, "What did you just say? Repeat it!"

"I said, you’re just a woman who climbed up using men." Ouyang Hao glanced at her with disdain and continued, "Isn’t that land in the new district obtained by Miss Shi in exchange for her body?"
