Leng Yixiu’s face instantly turned grim. He closed his eyes, his expression solemn, and after a long silence, he spoke in a low voice, "Mom, I have things to take care of here, I’ll hang up now."
Without waiting for Mother Leng’s response, Leng Yixiu hung up the phone.
The night grew darker as the black car smoothly cruised along the broad road. Neon lights filtered through the windows, casting a faint glow on the man’s chiseled face. In the night, his sharp brows were tightly furrowed, as though deep in thought, yet no one knew what he was contemplating.
That night was destined to be anything but peaceful. Just that evening, Li Yun’er, who hadn’t appeared in the media for some time, suddenly updated her Weibo status.
What shocked the gossiping public was that Li Yun’er’s update wasn’t to lash out at Ouyang Hao or Lin Yixun but to explain the recent "mistress intrusion" incident.
According to her, she and Ouyang Hao had actually peacefully broken up a month ago. They hadn’t made the breakup public because it could have negatively impacted both of them. She had planned to announce it when the time was right, but then this incident happened unexpectedly.
To prove her story, Li Yun’er attached several pictures from her vacation abroad. In the photos, she was smiling brightly and looked in great spirits.
Li Yun’er’s Weibo post instantly stirred up a storm online, rapidly shifting the whole incident’s narrative. Although the public was skeptical of her explanation, their attention diverted, and the accusations towards Lin Yixun began to waver.
After posting on Weibo, Li Yun’er called Ouyang Hao. The phone was picked up quickly, and Li Yun’er pouted in dissatisfaction, "Second Young Master Ouyang, each time I used to call you, you’d either reject it or take ages to answer. Why are you so prompt this time?"
"Me? I’m vacationing in Mauritius, why?"
"I’ve called you several times these days, why didn’t you answer?"
"Really? I didn’t hear it." Playing dumb was Li Yun’er’s specialty. "You know, Mauritius is quite remote, the signal is poor, it’s normal to miss calls."
"You..." Ouyang Hao fumed but, remembering Li Yun’er’s recent Weibo post, felt slightly less angry. "When are you coming back?"
"Well... I don’t know, whenever I feel like I’ve had enough fun. You should know that for a woman who just broke up, it takes time to heal from the heartbreak."
It infuriated Ouyang Hao even more when she mentioned this. "If you had explained things sooner, would there have been so much trouble?"
"You can’t blame me. I’ve been vacationing in Mauritius this whole time, I didn’t see the news from back home. As soon as I saw it, I quickly explained everything publicly."
Li Yun’er’s words were half-truths. She was indeed on vacation in Mauritius. However, she had seen the rumors about Ouyang Hao and Lin Yixun as soon as they came out but chose not to explain immediately. This mess was caused by Ouyang Hao, so why should she clean it up?
