My Toxic Ex-Wife: BOSS, Stay Away！-Chapter 497 - 507: Do You Have Feelings for Leng Yixiu?

In fact, Shi Yi didn’t have any urgent matters at Lei Man, she just wanted to quickly get away from that plague Leng Yixiu. However, since she had already come to Lei Man, she decided to go to Shen Xu’s office to get an update on the new branch project.

"Here, these are the designs I had the construction institute rush out, take a look." Shen Xu threw a stack of materials in front of Shi Yi.

Shi Yi glanced through the designs briefly, finding them incomprehensible, "I work in computing, I don’t understand these things, looking at them is like a waste of time."

"Then why did you come here?"

"I’m just bored." Shi Yi shrugged, adding, "Besides, as your boss, it feels wrong to be on a leisurely vacation while you’re working overtime, so I decided to come and check on you."

"Check on me?" Shen Xu chuckled, "I think you should skip the checking, if you really feel guilty, why not give this worker a raise, or something more concrete."

"A raise? I don’t have that authority, the shareholders have to agree. In the end, I’m just a worker too, not much better off than you."

"Stop pretending to be pitiful in front of me."

Shi Yi didn’t want to get entangled in this topic with him, so she suddenly changed the subject, "By the way, how much do you know about Leng Yixiu?"

"Why are you suddenly interested in Leng Yixiu?"

"Isn’t he our competitor? I need to understand him, or is there a problem with that?"

Shen Xu stared at her for a few seconds, "After being in T City for so many years, if I didn’t know about Leng Yixiu as a competitor, I would have wasted my time here. However, do you want to know about business or personal matters?"

"Half and half, tell me everything."

Shen Xu suddenly leaned towards Shi Yi, "You’re interested in Leng Yixiu’s personal matters too? I smell gossip. Could it be that even the iron tree will bloom?"

Shi Yi pushed him away with a palm, "Don’t overthink, I’m not interested in that person at all. I just have some doubts in my mind that can only be cleared up by understanding everything about Leng Yixiu."

"Is that so?" Shen Xu was half-believing, he paused, then suddenly became serious, "Since you put it that way, I won’t guess anymore. Let’s start with business. Leng Group was founded in Leng Yixiu’s grandfather’s generation. Initially, it didn’t focus on electronics, but by selling industrial products, they accumulated considerable wealth. It wasn’t until Leng Yixiu’s father’s generation that Leng Group transitioned to focusing on electronics. Starting early with few competitors, Leng quickly established itself in A City. Leng Yixiu’s father was also very ambitious, his vision wasn’t limited to A City, he wanted to expand and grow bigger. However, in his haste to expand, he fell into someone else’s trap, pushing Leng Group to the brink of bankruptcy. In the end, unable to bear the pressure of debts exceeding assets, Leng Yixiu’s father jumped from the Leng Building and died. With his father’s death, Leng’s former competitors were eager to devour the faltering Leng Group. Just when everyone thought Leng was doomed, the former mayor of A City unexpectedly extended an olive branch to Leng Yixiu, using his connections and power to successfully revive the dying Leng Group."

"The former mayor of A City? He was just a politician, why would he help Leng Group?"

"You don’t know, this is the most legendary part of the whole affair. The former mayor of A City, although an outstanding politician who was fair and just, was an obsessive daughter-doting father. He helped Leng Yixiu not because they had any friendship, but because his precious daughter was madly in love with Leng Yixiu, willing to marry no one else."

"Just because of that, the former mayor helped Leng Yixiu?"

"Yes, but in helping and reviving Leng Group, Leng Yixiu had to pay a price. The condition the mayor set for helping Leng Yixiu was for him to marry his daughter. And Leng Yixiu did keep his promise, marrying the mayor’s lovesick daughter. But that marriage didn’t last long, just a year later, they divorced, and Leng Yixiu even personally sent his ex-father-in-law to prison."

Shi Yi stared with wide eyes in disbelief, "Why did Leng Yixiu do that?"

"Why? I don’t know why, probably out of a man’s sense of pride. After all, he was forced by circumstances to marry the mayor’s daughter."

Shi Yi suddenly sneered, "They didn’t put a knife to his neck, forcing him to marry the mayor’s daughter, why did he have to take things to such an extreme?"

"Some men’s thoughts you can’t understand. Leng Yixiu is such a proud man, with resentment and hatred in his heart, sometimes it’s understandable to act out in extreme ways."

Shen Xu could understand, but Shi Yi still couldn’t. After listening to Shen Xu, her impression of Leng Yixiu worsened, and she was more convinced that staying away from him was the right choice.

"So, what’s with Leng Yixiu’s daughter? Who’s her mother?"

"That’s an even more legendary story." Shen Xu smiled, drinking some water to moisten his throat, "Although Leng Yixiu is cold and heartless, almost a prime example of a scumbag, there are still many women who like him. Among the women around him, there are two main ones: his ex-wife, the former mayor’s daughter, and his ex-fiancée—the superstar Cheng Ying. You know the superstar Cheng Ying, right?"

Shi Yi shook her head, asking, "Leng Yixiu’s daughter, was she born to Cheng Ying?"

"No, no, no, she was born to his ex-wife. And it’s laughable, the child wasn’t born during their marriage, but five years after they divorced."

"Five years after their divorce?"

"Yes, indeed. Even I have to admire the former mayor’s daughter, her heart must be so big to willingly have a child with her enemy, especially when Leng Yixiu had a fiancée at the time."

"Then, didn’t his ex-wife become the other woman?"

"That’s what’s so incredible, the ex-wife became the other woman, and the other woman became the fiancée, officially making her the victim."

"That’s complicated enough." Shi Yi nodded thoughtfully. For some reason, somewhere deep in her heart, a dull ache began to stir.
