Lin Yixun’s starry eyes widened, filled with surprise and confusion. Why wouldn’t Ouyang Hao let her resign? Doesn’t he know that by doing this, he’s actually at a loss?
Feeling a bit uncomfortable being stared at by her, Ouyang Hao lightly coughed twice and said, "Lin Yixun, don’t forget, you still owe me a huge debt. If I let you resign and you just walk away, wouldn’t I be losing big time?"
Seeing Lin Yixun frown with a look of half-understanding, Ouyang Hao said loudly, "Alright, that’s settled. For the next few days, you’ll stay in the hospital to take care of your mom. Once her condition stabilizes, you’ll obediently come back and work for me."
Before Lin Yixun could respond, the man had already turned around and left.
As soon as Ouyang Hao exited the hospital, his phone rang.
"Hello, sis? What’s the occasion?"
"Ouyang Hao, can’t you save me some trouble? How can you mess up again in just a few days?"
"What happened, sis? I’ve been pretty well-behaved lately. I’ve been at home recovering these past few days, what trouble could I cause?"
"Recovering?" Xiao Mu almost fainted from anger, "Recovering and getting caught by paparazzi? Recovering while hugging your little maid?"
Ouyang Hao frowned and cursed under his breath. Which bastard had the nerve to mess with him at this time?
"Get over here, immediately! Now!"
"Alright, alright, sis, I’m on my way."
As soon as Ouyang Hao arrived at Xiao Mu’s office, he was confronted with a stack of photos. Fortunately, he was fully covered when he left the house, or his handsome face would’ve turned red.
Ouyang Hao glanced at the photos on the floor, frowned slightly, pulled off his mask, tossed his baseball cap, and reverted to his usual nonchalant demeanor, "Sis, you’re quite fiery today. All that anger isn’t good for your health."
"Ouyang Hao, cut the crap!" Xiao Mu pointed angrily at the photos on the floor, "Explain this to me, what the hell is going on?"
"What else? The paparazzi making something out of nothing!"
"Making something out of nothing? Do you think I’m blind? If it were nothing, would you be hugging that maid so tightly? Can you stop making trouble for once? Don’t you know that you and Li Yun’er are a couple now? If these photos get out, do you know the consequences? Just the scandal of cheating will be enough to ruin you."
"Sis, you of all people should know the truth between Li Yun’er and me. We’re just together to create buzz for each other."
"But the media won’t see it that way, your fans won’t see it that way, and those internet trolls won’t either! By then, you’ll be condemned by everyone, and even the Yellow River couldn’t wash away your stain."
"These photos haven’t been leaked, right? What you’re saying is just hypothetical; it won’t happen."
"Hmph!" Xiao Mu shot him a fierce glare, "If I didn’t have an old friend at the Sunshine Daily, these photos would be on the front page of every major newspaper tomorrow!"
Ouyang Hao raised an eyebrow. So, Xiao Mu had already taken care of this issue? Despite her temper, his cousin was quite reliable when it came to handling matters.
"You should fire that maid," Xiao Mu said unexpectedly.
After all, this wasn’t the first time Ouyang Hao had a scandal with his maid. It was better to nip this kind of thing in the bud before the media caught on and blew it out of proportion.
