Chapter 130 Nightmare

The company called to explain the workers' disturbance and the media reception that day; everyone was waiting for her to return and take charge.

Li Tingxi said unhurriedly, "Send Mom home first, then go to the company this afternoon. I've already asked Qin He to handle these matters."

After thinking it over, Su Youling decided that her mother was more important. So the two of them got the medicine and went to pick up Su Hong from the rehabilitation room and put her in the car.

After each rehabilitation session, Su Hong was exhausted and would drift off to sleep as soon as she got in the car.

Just as Su Youling was about to get into the car to let her lean against her, a nurse suddenly called out from behind, "Miss Su, wait a moment!"

Su Youling's expression changed. Why did she follow us here? She mustn't mention the phone call, or everything she'd done today would be for nothing!

She tried to pretend she hadn't heard, but Li Tingxi had already gotten out of the driver's seat, frowned, and walked to Su Youling's side. "Someone is calling you. Aren't you going to answer?"

Su Youling smoothed her hair to hide her nervousness, "I didn't hear you just now..."

She turned around and saw a nurse pushing an elderly man, who seemed to be in better spirits, towards her. The nurse waved excitedly and said, "Miss Su, my husband heard you were in the hospital and insisted on coming over to thank you. He's in good spirits today and can even say a few words."

Seeing that she didn't intend to mention the phone, Su Youling breathed a sigh of relief and glanced back at Li Tingxi. "Please get in the car first and take care of my mother. I'll be right back after I say a few words."

Li Tingxi glanced thoughtfully at the old man in the wheelchair, feeling that something was off. Meanwhile, Su Hong in the car was having a nightmare and suddenly started muttering incoherently.

Su Youling wanted to go back, but Li Tingxi stopped her and went back to the car to take care of Su Hong. He found Su Hong covered in sweat, clutching her stomach and saying no.

Outside, Su Youling kept turning back, worried about her mother's condition. However, after seeing Li Tingxi get into the car and say something, she calmed down and walked towards the old man with peace of mind.

"Sir, how are you feeling?"

The old man was in much better spirits today. His eyes lit up when he looked at people. He stared at Su Youling for a while, looking quite satisfied. "Child, yesterday was so dangerous. I have to thank you for saving me. When I woke up yesterday, I couldn't find you. I thought it would be a long time before we could meet again."

He speaks clearly and articulately, indicating that the situation has indeed improved significantly.

Su Youling smiled. Seeing him always reminded her of her own father, and she always felt that they both had a mysterious, melancholic, and weathered aura. "There's nothing to thank me for. I was just lending a hand. I'm glad you're alright."

"I find you to be a very clever and insightful young man. I heard you even know Shi Yan; it's all fate." The old man was in high spirits. "I'll rest and recover, and I'll be discharged from the hospital in a couple of days. I'll treat you to a meal then."

Su Youling gets a headache just hearing Shi Yan's name now, and she refused without thinking, "Really, there's no need, sir. Your recovery is the best way to repay me. I have other things to do, so I'll leave now. I'll come to see you again when I have time."

She got into the car as soon as she finished speaking, worried that Li Tingxi would go crazy again if he heard Shi Yan's name.

The old man narrowed his eyes as he watched Su Youling's resolute departure. "Xiao Hui, do you think she really doesn't know my identity?"

The nurse shook her head. "Yesterday must have been an accident. Judging from Miss Su's accent, she doesn't seem to be from B City. She was probably just here for a medical checkup. I've inquired, and her mother does regular rehabilitation at this hospital, and she always accompanies her."

The old man was full

#Please do not use incognito mode whenever verification is required!

Yi nodded. "He does not seek anything in return for his kindness. He is upright and honest, neither humble nor arrogant. He is a good child... After I am discharged from the hospital, I will have Shi Yan invite him out for a meal. I should still thank him."

Xiao Hui nodded and pushed the old man away.

At the same time, Su Hong suddenly woke up from her dream. Her blurry vision became vaguely clear for a moment, and she could vaguely see the old figure in the wheelchair. Her face turned pale, and she instinctively hid between the seats, as if she had seen some terrifying monster.

"Mom! Mom, what's wrong?" Su Youling was startled and quickly picked up Su Hong. Noticing that Su Hong was trembling all over, she hugged her tightly to comfort her. "What's wrong? Are you feeling unwell? Let's go back to the hospital now!"

"No, don't!" Su Hong suddenly gripped her wrist tightly, mustered her courage to look outside, but her vision became blurry and dim again, and she could no longer see that familiar figure from just now.

"Mom's fine, she just had a nightmare." She leaned back in her seat, looking exhausted, her lifeless eyes staring blankly at the top of the car. She didn't speak for a long time.

Su Youling was worried. She originally wanted to go back and spend some more time with her, but Su Hong was very tired and sent them both to the company.

On the way, Li Tingxi saw that she was preoccupied and couldn't help but comfort her, "Rehabilitation is a very mentally and physically demanding thing. You'll get through this period."

Su Youling sighed, "I have a feeling that my mom is acting a little strange today."

"If you're really worried, I'll take you home first. I'll handle things at the company." Li Tingxi was about to turn the steering wheel back when Su Youling stopped him. "No need. You're just my assistant now. What good will it do you?"

She knew her mother well; if her mother didn't want to talk, even holding a knife to her throat wouldn't help. Going back now would just mean sitting there doing nothing.

Why don't we go to the company and resolve this matter first?

Li Tingxi glanced at her and suddenly asked, "Zhao Fu gave you an e-invitation; are you planning to use it alone?"

"Otherwise what?" Su Youling looked back at him. "President Li, this invitation only has one spot. It's uncertain whether I can successfully enter the Yin family!"

Li Tingxi's face darkened. She really wanted to venture into the lion's den alone!

"Can't you learn to rely on me a little? This doesn't need to be so complicated..."

“If President Li doesn’t trust my abilities, why did he entrust Yitao to me?” Su Youling retorted. “If you were in charge today, Zhao Fu wouldn’t dare to play these tricks at all.”

The implication is that Li Tingxi pushed her into this predicament, and now she's pretending to be a savior.

Li Tingxi's already unpleasant mood instantly darkened further. "If you go alone, what if Zhao Fu and that business partner set a trap for you? Do you think you can leave unscathed?"

"Then remember to call the police." Su Youling had her own plans. She knew that the Yin family was a den of thieves and tigers, so she naturally wouldn't make this trip for nothing.

This time, she's going to uproot Zhao Fu and the network of interests behind him, completely eradicating this cancer.

"You!" Li Tingxi slammed his fist on the steering wheel. "Fine, I'll wait and see how capable you are!"

Su Youling pursed her lips and remained silent.

She knew that teaming up with Li Tingxi was the simplest way, but having just gone through a terrifying examination at the hospital, she now just wanted to minimize her contact with Li Tingxi to avoid being anxious and letting him discover any flaws.

Furthermore, given Li's mother's involvement, if Li Tingxi were to get involved, she would definitely use it as an excuse to cause more trouble later. It would be better for her to resolve the matter once and for all.
