Su Youli is forced to marry as a substitute, suppressing her true nature to become the obedient replacement that satisfies Li Tingxi—servicing him in bed at night and working tirelessly by day.
...Chapter 136 He only has himself to blame
"I don't want to! I don't want to leave the Li family. Tingxi wants to drive me away. I'm afraid I'll never see him again." Lin Lexi's voice was hoarse, as if she was truly heartbroken and terrified. She knelt at Su Youling's feet, as humble as a devout believer without dignity. "Sister, have you forgotten that you promised to teach me how to serve Tingxi?"
Su Youling struggled for a moment, but almost tripped over by Lin Lexi.
This woman used all her strength on her, sticking to her like glue, impossible to shake off.
Has he been driven mad?
This doesn't seem like Lin Lexi's personality at all!
"I will definitely study hard, and we will work together to make Tingxi happy. I don't mind a threesome, as long as you allow me to stay by Tingxi's side, I am willing to do anything." Lin Lexi hugged her tightly as if she had gone crazy. "Even if Shen Xiyue comes back in the future, I will stand on your side and help you fight against her! Sister, please help me plead with Tingxi."
"Get away!" Su Youling bent down and pried her hands off, truly annoyed by her nonsensical ramblings.
What kind of bullshit threesome is this?
She actually said such shameless things.
Su Youling was disgusted again!
Just then, for some reason, a group of security guards came out of the elevator, were very surprised to see this scene, and rushed over immediately.
"President Su, what's wrong? Do you need help?"
“Her…” Before Su Youling could finish speaking, Lin Lexi suddenly collapsed to the ground, laughing and crying like a madwoman. “President Su? Haha, that’s ridiculous! Your President Su is young and beautiful. She only got her current position at headquarters by sleeping with the CEO! She’s a slut who can’t stand being without a man. If you all fawn over her, you’ll eventually get a chance…”
Snap!
Su Youling, unable to bear it any longer, bent down and slapped her across the face. The force of the slap was so strong that Lin Lexi's cheek was turned to the side, leaving a red and swollen finger mark on her cheek.
She couldn't stand being treated like a prostitute by someone like Lin Lexi!
Even if she wasn't afraid of other people's strange looks, she would absolutely not tolerate their slander.
The security guards exchanged glances, their eyes showing a hint of something unusual as they looked at Su Youling. They dared not be too blatant, after all, she was a ruthless character who had driven away Zhao Fu and several elders.
The story of this young CEO's rise to power has already been fabricated by his subordinates in hundreds of scandalous versions, each one more disgusting than the last. Now, it's just that a strange woman from headquarters has ripped through the facade.
"Lin Lexi, don't you know why you were kicked out of the Li family? When it comes to climbing the social ladder, you're practically the pioneer by Li Tingxi's side. Who dares to compare with you?" Su Youling knew that if she revealed her true identity, she would probably have been warned long ago, so she was even more contemptuous and disdainful.
"Before spreading rumors, consider your own status! Do you think anyone can protect you now?" After saying this, the elevator opened again, and Li Tingxi and his mother walked in together, followed by several senior executives.
"Madam!" Lin Lexi's eyes were red from crying. She had lost her crazy temper and looked pitiful as she got up. "I was helping President Su with her work as you instructed. I didn't expect her to attack me without saying a word. You must stand up for me."
Everyone was shocked, never expecting that this person's backer was so powerful!
"Madam Li, you are merely an honorary director of Yitao Culture, you have no actual..."

"As for management authority, next time you try to push people into the company, please follow the proper procedures." Su Youling said neither humbly nor arrogantly, "Today, Lin Lexi instigated the contractor to storm into the president's office and cause trouble, almost ruining Yitao's reputation. This is all thanks to your indulgence."
"You dare to lecture me?" After Li Tingxi's explanation of the pros and cons, Li's mother realized that she had been tricked by Lin Lexi and used as a pawn.
But Su Youling's disrespectful behavior in front of so many people caused Li's mother to lose all face. "You're only good enough to be the CEO for three days..."
"Then let's talk about it in three days," Su Youling said coldly. "Security, kick out all irrelevant people, strengthen patrols in the future, and don't let any random people in to cause trouble."
Just as Li's mother was about to explode, Li Tingxi calmly pulled her back.
"Didn't you hear what President Su said?" Li Tingxi glanced coldly at everyone. "Disperse."
Ignoring the people around her, Su Youling turned around and headed towards the elevator, her wrist throbbing slightly. Behind her, she could still hear Lin Lexi's devastating curses.
"Let us go! How dare you lowly security guards touch me!"
"Su Youling, you're a shameless slut. Li Tingxi just treats you like a toy. He'll get tired of you and throw you away sooner or later."
"My fate today is your fate tomorrow. Su Youling, I'm waiting to see you... mmm..." Qin He covered the rest of his curses with his palm.
Seeing Li Tingxi's ashen face, Qin He didn't say a word and dragged the unwilling Lin Lexi away through the elevator on the other side.
"Let go! Qin He, let go of me! Who do you think you are?" Lin Lexi was still unwilling to give up. Looking at the cold and resolute Li Tingxi outside the elevator, she panicked. "Tingxi, I was wrong! I won't dare to do it again. Please don't send me away..."
The elevator doors slowly closed, and no one paid any attention to her frantic screams.
"Shut up!" Qin He coldly looked down at the woman who had lost her mind. "If you hadn't been so stupid, at least President Li initially intended for you to take over the design department after you finished your training. You have only yourself to blame for what you've done."
"Why should I? If it weren't for Su Youling's interference, I would have been Mrs. Li long ago. Why would I need to put up with the attitude of a mere assistant like you?" Lin Lexi desperately tried to pry open the elevator door, but in the end, she only left a traceless fingerprint on the cold elevator wall.
"Li Tingxi, you are so cruel! I went to so much trouble to please you, but in the end I still couldn't beat that cunning and despicable woman, Su Youling."
Qin He shook his head and sneered, "The last person you should have messed with is Su Youling! She's the president's Achilles' heel."
Lin Lexi shuddered inexplicably. Looking at the unfathomable darkness in Qin He's eyes, she belatedly shrank into a corner of the elevator and cried out in fear, "What are you going to do?"
"The president's orders—to make you pay the price!" A sharp, dark glint flashed in Qin He's eyes as he walked step by step towards the corner...
Su Youling returned to her office and clumsily re-bandaged her wrist injury, the image that flashed through her mind was Li Tingxi's gentle and earnest expression as he knelt in front of her just moments before.
He should be comforting Li's mother right now!
Today, she embarrassed Li's mother in front of so many people, which is tantamount to slapping him in the face.
But she doesn't regret it!
She had been holding back this anger for a long time!
Now that she is just Su Youling, why should she continue to wrong herself?
