Chapter 433: Revised: Chapter 445 The Abandoned Wife of a Wealthy Family?
Lin Yixun’s face changed slightly, forcing herself to look away and hand the newspaper back to Sister Yi.
However, no matter how fast her actions were or how hard she tried, in that brief moment, she still saw the photo of Ouyang Hao and that woman walking hand in hand into Ouyang Hao’s apartment, and the image of them together was deeply etched into her mind.
She had never hated her vision and memory as much as she did now.
In the photo, Ouyang Hao and the woman were not fully armed, both wearing casual shirts and jeans with great tacit understanding. The woman’s long hair reached her waist, untouched by perm or dye, with a plain face completely devoid of makeup, yet she was still as striking as a celebrity.
Her eyes were very clear, exuding a clean aura from head to toe. Lin Yixun knew at a glance that this woman was different from Ouyang Hao’s past girlfriends. She was unique.
But it was this uniqueness that fiercely stabbed Lin Yixun’s heart. Would Ouyang Hao fall in love? Would he? She curled her lips bitterly. Probably, right?
But isn’t this good? She was the one who gave him up, the one who told him to find someone he loved who loved him back. Now it seemed he had found that person.
This is good, very good.
She took a deep breath, working hard to convince herself, but her stomach churned violently at that moment. She felt incredibly nauseous and rushed into the bathroom.
Sister Yi followed her into the bathroom, seeing Lin Yixun leaning over the sink, retching uncontrollably. She reached out and gently patted Lin Yixun’s back.
After a long while, Lin Yixun finally caught her breath and saw Sister Yi’s worried expression. She gave her a reassuring smile. "I’m fine, Sister Yi. My stomach hasn’t been well for a while, and I occasionally feel uncomfortable."
Sister Yi, seeing Lin Yixun was still in the dark, opened her mouth, wanting to tell her about the pregnancy. But with the words on the tip of her tongue, she swallowed them back down.
Mr. Leng had specifically instructed her not to tell Miss Lin about the pregnancy for now. Although Sister Yi didn’t know why Mr. Leng would do this, she didn’t dare to disobey.
She just smiled and nodded. "Yes, my son also had stomach problems, and it would bother him from time to time. I’ll head to the kitchen and get you some congee. Eating some congee will make your stomach feel a bit better."
"Thank you, Sister Yi."
"No need to thank me, it’s my duty."
...
Cheng Ying had thought there was still some room for reconciliation between her and Leng Yixiu, but unexpectedly, early this morning, the media suddenly threw a bomb at her, leaving her utterly devastated.
She fiercely threw the newspaper in her hand to the ground. Still unsatisfied, she picked up the newspaper again and tore it into shreds in a few quick motions. What is this? What on earth is this?
She had spent ten years with Leng Yixiu, giving him the best years of her life, only to receive a statement of broken engagement in return?
No, she was unwilling, she was unwilling!
At that moment, the makeup artist suddenly pushed the door open and entered. "Miss Lin, your clothes are ready. Would you like to... try them on?"
The words got stuck in the makeup artist’s throat as his gaze lingered on the floor covered with paper scraps, then finally settled on Cheng Ying’s face.
The woman before him had a twisted, sinister look in her eyes. Was this still the gentle and charming superstar Cheng Ying? The makeup artist even wondered if he had entered the wrong dressing room!
But just then, Cheng Ying’s face abruptly changed as if turning a page. The ferocious expression vanished instantly, replaced by the familiar gentle and enchanting smile.
She elegantly brushed the stray hair from her forehead and smiled warmly at him. "Okay, I’ll try them on first. If they don’t fit, you can have someone adjust them for me."
Cheng Ying’s sudden change left the makeup artist dumbfounded. What... was this? Had he just seen things?
However, for some reason, even with Cheng Ying smiling so captivatingly now, the makeup artist still felt a chill running down his spine.
The clothes fit perfectly, and Cheng Ying was in great form on set, seemingly unaffected by the breakup. Everyone present, including the director, had to admire this woman’s resilience.
After wrapping up, Cheng Ying was immediately surrounded by reporters from major media outlets as she left the set. They had been waiting all day outside the set, and finally seizing the chance, they bombarded her with questions.
"Miss Cheng, we’ve heard that Mr. Leng has unilaterally called off the engagement. Is this true?"
"Miss Cheng, we’ve heard that Mr. Leng has recently been seen visiting Shengde Hospital multiple times with a mysterious woman. Is the called-off engagement due to a third party?"
"Miss Cheng..."
"Miss Cheng..."
The reporters’ questions came one after another, but throughout, Cheng Ying remained unfazed, even keeping a charming smile on her face.
After a long while, when the reporters had finished asking their questions, Cheng Ying calmly ran her fingers through her hair and spoke slowly, "I’m sorry, this is a private matter between me and Yixiu, and I have no comment. However, it’s quite normal for couples, no matter how deep their love, to have occasional disagreements. As you know, I have a very busy work schedule. I’m so busy that I might inadvertently neglect Yixiu. His unhappiness is only natural."
Cheng Ying deftly redirected the conversation, suggesting that the sudden broken engagement was not due to a broken relationship but was merely a lovers’ spat due to their busy schedules.
"Miss Cheng, can we interpret Mr. Leng’s sudden move to call off the engagement as just a lovers’ quarrel?"
Cheng Ying only smiled without answering, and as the reporters remained confused, she got into her chauffeur-carried vehicle under the escort of bodyguards. She left the reporters standing there, confidently piecing together what they believed to be the truth.
Reporter A, staring at the vanishing car, said in a low voice, "I don’t think the CEO of Leng’s really intended to call off the engagement. Otherwise, why would Miss Cheng remain so composed? Look at her; she doesn’t seem like an abandoned woman at all."
Reporter B replied, "Yes, yes. According to the staff on set, Miss Cheng’s performance has been quite excellent today. She nailed many scenes in one take. If she were truly abandoned by Mr. Leng, she wouldn’t be able to maintain her composure, let alone perform so well on set, right?"
"Yes, yes, I agree," echoed another reporter.
However, what they didn’t know was that the moment Cheng Ying stepped into the vehicle, all her grace and composure shattered.
She turned coldly to her assistant and commanded in a chilling voice, "Give me the medicine."
