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 213 Amputation
After following Li Tingxi for so many days, Zhao Xinning finally found this perfect opportunity.
"Li Tingxi, Su Youling, I want you both to die!" Zhao Xinning slammed on the gas pedal, as if she could already foresee the horrific sight of Li Tingxi and Su Youling being crushed beyond recognition by the car. A strange, excited glint flashed in her eyes.
The van was traveling too fast. After calling Li Tingxi's name, Shen Xiyue didn't have time to think. Almost instinctively, she rushed over and shoved him aside.
Li Tingxi watched helplessly as she was thrown out like a butterfly with a broken wing. The next second, the car tire mercilessly ran over her leg, staining the ground with bright red blood. Shen Xiyue's shrill scream made his heart seem to stop for a moment.
Li Tingxi reacted quickly, picked up a rock and smashed it against the car window. The window shattered instantly, and Zhao Xinning, who was in the driver's seat, screamed and was forced to stop the car.
Chen Xiyue, who was run over by the car wheel, had tears and sweat all over her face, and her face was frighteningly pale.
Li Tingxi immediately used the broken car window to open the car door from the inside, quickly grabbed Zhao Xinning who was trying to escape, and shouted at Chen Xiyue, "Call an ambulance quickly!"
Shen Xiyue nodded with difficulty and fumbled for her phone in her bag to dial 120.
Immediately afterwards, Li Tingxi took the phone and called the police.
Upon hearing that he had called the police, Zhao Xinning punched and kicked him with all her might. With a fierce look in her eyes, she bit down hard on his tiger's mouth, whimpering, "Li Tingxi, you'll die a horrible death!"
Li Tingxi's eyes turned cold. He kicked her on the back of the knee, forcing her to let go, and then shoved her head against the shattered car window.
As Zhao Xinning watched the shards of glass about to hit her face, her eyes bulged slightly and her facial muscles twitched. She gripped the car door tightly and screamed, "Li Tingxi!"
Li Tingxi then pulled her away expressionlessly, pressed her face against the hood of the car, and narrowed his eyes dangerously. "If you dare to move again before the police arrive, I'll let you taste what it's like to be hit by a car."
Zhao Xinning caught a glimpse of Shen Xiyue lying in a pool of blood, gritted her teeth, and became obedient.
Soon, the police car and the ambulance arrived almost one after the other, and Shen Xiyue was lifted onto the ambulance on a stretcher with the help of medical staff.
As Zhao Xinning was being led away by the police, she completely broke down. Resentfully turning back, she glared fiercely at the direction of the ambulance, cursing, "Su Youling, you despicable woman who deserves to be torn to pieces! You'd better just die like this, otherwise I..."
Shen Xiyue was in so much pain that she was delirious and almost fainted, but the name "Su Youling" still clearly reached her ears.
She strained to open her eyes and looked at her blood-stained lower body, tears streaming down her face again uncontrollably.
So... the pain she's suffering now is because she's been mistaken for Su Youling. How absurd and ridiculous!
Shen Xiyue completely lost consciousness and fainted.
Just then, Su Youling arrived in City A. After getting off the plane, she immediately called Li Tingxi, but no one answered after several attempts.
Li Tingxi had already arrived at the hospital with the ambulance, and the unconscious Shen Xiyue was sent to the emergency room.
Looking at the red light above the operating room door, Li Tingxi leaned against the wall in the corridor, feeling frustrated. He closed his eyes, his mind...
#Please do not use incognito mode whenever verification is required!
All that came to mind was the scene of Shen Xiyue being hit by a car when she pushed him away.
Midway through the surgery, the doctor came out of the emergency room and looked at Li Tingxi with a serious tone, saying, "Are you a family member of the patient? The patient has a very serious comminuted fracture in his right leg below the knee. If amputation is not performed, there is a high chance that the patient's life will be threatened."
Li Tingxi's expression changed slightly. Before he could speak, Mr. and Mrs. Shen Cong, who had arrived and listened to every word the doctor said, ran over from the other end of the corridor.
The mother's expression shifted from disbelief to overwhelming grief. "Doctor, you just said my daughter needs an amputation? No... this can't be true. My daughter is so young and beautiful, how could she lose her leg?"
Shen Congyi's face was filled with disbelief. "Doctor, please find a way to save my daughter. She has a bright future ahead of her and she can't possibly become a disabled person."
“There’s nothing I can do,” the doctor sighed. “I understand how you feel, but the most important thing right now is to perform the surgery as soon as possible.”
Chen's mother completely lost control of her emotions, collapsing to the ground and wailing, "My poor Yueyue, my precious daughter!"
While the Shen couple were crying and making a scene, Li Tingxi had already made a phone call at the nurses' station and returned.
Upon seeing him, Chen's mother immediately scrambled to his side, her eyes red, and grabbed his trouser leg tightly, tearing at it violently. "Li Tingxi, why did my daughter get into trouble? Did you do it?"
Shen Cong also retorted without hesitation, "Li Tingxi, my daughter got into trouble with you. You have to save my daughter's leg no matter what, otherwise my husband and I will die at your doorstep and ruin your family's reputation!"
Out of consideration for Shen Xiyue's selfless act of saving him, Li Tingxi was too lazy to argue with Shen Cong. He only glanced indifferently at Shen's mother, who was still throwing a tantrum at him, and said, "I have already asked my assistant to contact an orthopedic specialist. They will be here soon."
Sensing something unusual in his reaction, Shen Cong's mind started working again. She stepped forward and helped her mother up. "Since President Li has said so, don't worry. Maybe Yueyue's leg can still be healed."
The orthopedic experts arranged by Qin He arrived at the hospital quickly. After communicating with the hospital, they borrowed the operating room to prepare for another round of surgery for Shen Xiyue.
According to experts, Shen Xiyue's leg can be saved with minimal amputation, but she may end up in a state of partial paralysis.
Upon hearing this devastating news, Shen's mother's eyes rolled back, and she collapsed backward.
Shen quickly caught her and kept pinching her philtrum to help her catch her breath.
After finally recovering, Chen's mother rushed towards Li Tingxi again, grabbing his arm tightly until her fingertips turned white from the force. "Is this the lousy expert you found? Now it's not just about one leg anymore. My daughter is going to be half-paralyzed. How are her father and I supposed to live? Li Tingxi, you're trying to kill us!"
Li Tingxi closed his eyes, showing no intention of arguing with her.
Ultimately, this whole affair started because of him. Shen Xiyue was just an innocent victim. Anyone in that situation would feel resentment.
His silence was undoubtedly seen as a sign of guilt by Shen's mother.
"My Yueyue!" Mother Shen wailed, clenching her fists and punching him in frustration. Every punch landed hard, and her eyes showed a hint of nervousness in her fierce expression.
