Chapter 235 Another Suicide Attempt

After looking at the documents in the file folder, Shen Congye confronted him, "Is Li Tingxi taking advantage of our Shen family's downfall and going back on his word? With the Li family's wealth and power, does my daughter's leg really have to be treated abroad?"

Qin He naturally couldn't make decisions for Li Tingxi. Seeing how difficult the Shen Cong couple were, he could only go and inform Li Tingxi of the current situation and ask for his opinion.

As soon as he left, Mr. and Mrs. Shen sat around the hospital bed, constantly stimulating Shen Xiyue's legs, warning her that she must not agree to go abroad this time no matter what.

"Yueyue, this is your last chance. You have to go all out this time. Only by firmly holding onto Li Tingxi can you and your parents have hope for the rest of your lives. You don't want to be a useless cripple than a glamorous Mrs. Li, do you?"

“Su Youling is inferior to you in every way, even in the art of charming men, she is far inferior to you,” Mother Shen held Shen Xiyue’s hand tightly with one hand, and slowly tidied the stray hairs on her forehead with the other, her words implying, “Mom knows you can do it, didn’t you do it very well before?”

Like a demonic whisper, under the encouragement of Shen Cong and his wife, Shen Xiyue's previously dormant heart was once again filled with intense resentment and ambition.

That afternoon, Shen Xiyue attempted suicide again.

Unlike the previous minor incidents, this time she was found by the nurses already unconscious due to excessive blood loss.

When Qin He called, Li Tingxi was trying to feed Su Youling.

Su Youling initially resisted silently, but then she clenched her teeth and kept dodging the spoon he offered to her mouth. Finally, she got so annoyed that she simply raised her hand and slapped the spoon away.

The ceramic spoon shattered, splattering onto the nurse's shoes as she entered, startling her so much that she dared not breathe.

Li Tingxi acted as if nothing had happened, calmly asking the nurse to bring another spoon, scooping up the porridge and feeding it to Su Youling.

"Li Tingxi, I have my own hands, can you stop disgusting me?" Su Youling frowned in disgust, her eyes filled with undisguised hatred as she looked at him.

Li Tingxi stiffened almost imperceptibly for a moment, and at her request, had another bowl served.

Su Youling had no intention of starving herself at all; she picked up her spoon and ate slowly and carefully.

This was a nourishing porridge specially prepared by Li Tingxi. The baby in her belly needed nutrition at that time, so how could she possibly wrong herself and her child just to go against Li Tingxi?

Li Tingxi's phone rang at that moment. Seeing that it was Qin He calling, he subconsciously glanced at Su Youling.

Qin He had already conveyed the attitude of Shen Cong and his wife to him. He naturally assumed that Shen Cong and his wife had caused some trouble again because of their lack of cooperation, and his first reaction was not to accept it.

Seeing this, Su Youling scoffed, "Li Tingxi, aren't you tired after all these days? Shen Xiyue is longing for you, why are you so pathetic, insisting on staying with me?"

“Su Su, I’ve already made arrangements to send Shen Xiyue abroad. After she leaves, I will also push forward with our wedding as soon as possible,” Li Tingxi said helplessly, looking earnestly into her eyes. “I will no longer hide anything from you.”

As he answered the call, he immediately put it on speakerphone and placed the phone on the mobile dining table in front of Su Youling.

Qin He's panicked voice suddenly rang out in the ward: "President Li, Director Shen has cut her wrists, and she's already been rushed into the operating room for emergency treatment."

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

Li Tingxi's eyelids twitched, and he frowned involuntarily. He simply said "I understand" and hung up the phone.

Slitting one's wrists?

Su Youling paused, a hint of sarcasm flashing in her eyes.

It's clear that Shen Xiyue still has feelings for Li Tingxi. The framing she committed at the hospital made her see the dark side beneath this woman's fragile and kind exterior.

Li Tingxi wanted to send her abroad, and she immediately threatened suicide. What a show!

Unfortunately, she wasn't interested in acting with them.

Su Youling looked up and saw that Li Tingxi was still standing motionless in the ward. She couldn't help but frown: "Li Tingxi, didn't you hear that Shen Xiyue committed suicide? Why don't you get out of here?"

Li Tingxi's tightly furrowed brows relaxed slightly, but he still showed no intention of leaving, saying in a flat tone, "I'm not a doctor, it wouldn't make a difference if I went."

Seeing that he really had no intention of leaving, Su Youling, annoyed, only wanted to make things difficult for him.

“Tsk tsk,” she put down her spoon, her dark eyes filled with malice. “Li Tingxi, you treat Shen Xiyue like a weak and vulnerable parasitic flower, but in my opinion, she should be called a datura. She looks pleasing to the eye, but in reality, she is poisonous all over.”

"This isn't the first time she's threatened you with suicide, is it? Why don't you guess whether she even carefully planned the force of the wrist-cutting?"

As Su Youling spoke, she spared no effort in provoking Li Tingxi with her eyes, trying to anger him.

However, Li Tingxi remained calm throughout, looking at her as if she were a spoiled child throwing a tantrum, with a hint of tolerance.

He even took the initiative to admit his mistake: "It was my oversight that caused her to have the wrong idea."

He walked to Su Youling's side, bent down slightly beside the hospital bed, and grasped her hand, his expression serious: "Su Su, in short, the fault lies entirely with me. I shouldn't have given her hope, and I shouldn't have kept things from you so that you would misunderstand."

Like a punch landing on cotton, Su Youling's provocative smile froze, then her face fell. She forcefully pulled her hand out of his grasp, shoved the mobile dining table forward, and said coldly, "You can get out now!"

Li Tingxi sighed softly. Even though he was unwilling, he could only say now: "I took care of her not because I still had feelings for her, but because her leg... was hit while saving me."

Su Youling gave him a cold look and sneered, "I have absolutely no interest in your touching stories of beauties saving heroes."

“The person who hit her was Zhao Xinning,” Li Tingxi closed his eyes briefly, then opened them again with a hint of worry, and said in one breath, “And Zhao Xinning came for me and you. Shen Xiyue was just mistaken for you by Zhao Xinning because she happened to be with me at the time…”

Every word Li Tingxi spoke was like a muffled hammer blow, falling heavily again and again.

Su Youling was so shocked that her mind went blank for a moment, and then she fell into a long silence, her lowered eyes filled with a turbulent mix of emotions.

Shen Xiyue never even considered the possibility of losing her legs while in a wheelchair. The thought of being run over by a car tire made her scalp tingle.

And this kind of pain, if Zhao Xinning hadn't mistaken someone for someone else, should have been borne by her.

Upon hearing the word "paralysis," Su Youling's fingernails involuntarily dug into her palms.
