Chapter 192 Still longing for his first love

Since Zhao Fu was arrested, Li Tingxi has completely severed ties with the Zhao family.

Zhao Xinning could never go back to being a rich young lady. The group of fools who used to fawn over her turned their backs on her overnight and even took the opportunity to kick her when she was down. She had been living a miserable life, like a rat in a gutter.

And all of this is thanks to that bitch Su Youling! Why should she suffer all kinds of humiliation while that bitch Su Youling can live a carefree life?

Zhao Xinning was furious and her eyes turned red with jealousy, but she quickly calmed down after her outburst.

No, she absolutely had to get her hands on Mr. Ai's things; this was her last chance to turn things around.

Moreover, when Mr. Ai was still working at Yitao, she happened to be in charge of the factory and knew everything about him. Su Youling, an apprentice who didn't even know Mr. Ai's true identity, probably didn't know as much as she did.

After thinking it through, Zhao Xinning composed herself and instructed Zhao She, who was already getting impatient on the other end of the phone, "Don't panic. I have a way to help you solidify your identity. You just need to..."

...

After sorting out her thoughts, Su Youling immediately asked Wei Ning to send over all the relevant reference materials. It was at this moment that she was finally able to confirm that the eccentric old man was indeed Mr. Ai, a master revered by everyone in the ceramics world.

However, after confirming the old man's identity, doubts began to take root in her mind.

Su Youling thought about it again and again and still felt that Zhao She's appearance was really inexplicable. Both the timing and the way he appeared were too problematic.

Remembering the harsh words Zhao She had uttered before leaving, Su Youling was certain that he would make further moves, so she stopped worrying and directly called Master Li of Yitao.

If she remembered correctly, Master Li, as an old man who had worked with Mr. Ai in Yitao for so long, should have known more or less about the family situation, no matter how tight-lipped her master was.

In fact, Su Youling was not disappointed. When Su Youling asked if Mr. Ai had any grandchildren, Master Li denied it without thinking, saying, "Absolutely not."

"Mr. Ai was devoted to pottery all his life. I did hear him mention a first love, but that woman died unexpectedly a long time ago. Mr. Ai never married, so how could a grandson suddenly appear out of nowhere?"

After finishing his sentence, Master Li couldn't help but ask Su Youling, "Where did you hear all this nonsense from?"

Su Youling felt a little more certain, but she didn't dare to jump to conclusions. She hesitated and said, "Is it possible that you don't know, but there have actually been women who were quite close to him..."

As she asked the question, she felt inexplicably guilty. Even though the old man was no longer alive, it didn't seem right for her to slander him like this.

Master Li reacted particularly strongly, as if Su Youling was insulting him: "Bullshit! Do you think I don't know what kind of person Mr. Ai is? He may have a strange temper, but he values ​​relationships very much. The reason he never married was because he couldn't forget his first love. A man like that is hard to find even with a lantern these days..."

He became more and more excited as he spoke, his admiration evident in his words.

Su Youling felt ashamed upon hearing this, and her guilt towards the old man deepened.

Master Li finally breathed a sigh of relief and then asked Su Youling why she had made the call.

Su Youling explained the whole story in detail.

In addition to mentioning the tenth point, I also mentioned that Mr. Ai was her pottery teacher in Lingshui Town.

Shocked and moved, Mr. Li couldn't suppress his longing for his old friend. After hesitating for a while, he finally spoke up, "Mr. Su, since you mentioned that there are ill-intentioned people claiming to be Mr. Ai's grandson, why don't I come to Lingshui Town myself and visit Mr. Ai's former residence?"

Su Youling hadn't thought of this at first, and was overjoyed. Without thinking, she agreed, "That would be perfect. It's just in time that you came here. You can also help me identify that man. I'm so grateful to you, Master Li."

Mr. Li exchanged pleasantries with her and excitedly said that he would head to Lingshui Town as soon as he finished his work.

After hanging up the phone, although Master Li had not yet come to confirm the identity of the man named Zhao She in person, Su Youling was already about 80% sure.

We'll just have to wait and see how the evidence speaks for itself.

...

The next morning, Su Youling unexpectedly received a call from Li Tingxi.

This was Li Tingxi calling from Qin He's phone after he learned that she had blocked him. The reason Su Youling didn't block Qin He as well was because of the two bodyguards who appeared last night.

However, after hearing Li Tingxi's voice, Su Youling's previously ignored negative emotions surged up again.

Li Tingxi asked innocently, "Why did you suddenly block me? I heard about what happened last night from the bodyguard. Is your foot injury serious?"

Su Youling felt he was just putting on an act, and replied in a cold tone, "Don't worry, it's just a minor injury. If you had called a few hours later, it would probably be fully healed by now."

Li Tingxi was speechless, but he was busy dealing with divorce and public relations matters, so he didn't have much time to talk to her.

He called to check on Su Youling's safety, worried that she might be scared because he wasn't around.

However, the truth is that Su Youling doesn't seem to need him at all.

A sense of frustration welled up in Li Tingxi. He was about to probe again to find out the reason for Su Youling's sudden change of attitude when Shen Xiyue's knocking came from the door.

The office door wasn't closed. Shen Xiyue saw him on the phone, held up the documents in her hand to show him, and asked him softly, "How much longer?"

Li Tingxi had no choice but to quickly say goodbye to Su Youling and hang up the phone.

On the other end of the phone, Su Youling stared blankly at the screen where the call had ended, her heart sinking to the bottom.

She was sure she hadn't misheard; it was Shen Xiyue's voice on the other end of the phone.

Su Youling glanced at the time subconsciously, and a self-deprecating smile involuntarily appeared on her lips.

These two were together so early in the morning? Li Tingxi hung up the phone as soon as Shen Xiyue finished speaking, without even thinking of explaining to her. Was it because he didn't expect her to misunderstand, or did he simply not care about her opinion?

Su Youling felt like a clown. She had been touched by the bodyguard's appearance last night and hadn't refused the call, but reality kept slapping her in the face.

That's so stupid!

Su Youling couldn't help but examine the wound on the sole of her foot, feeling a lump in her throat and hating herself for being so dramatic.
