Chapter 236 Self-Inflicted Humiliation

Li Tingxi saw it clearly and immediately picked up her hand and pressed it down to prevent her from continuing to harm herself unconsciously.

“So Su Su, it’s not that I’m deliberately keeping this from you. I just don’t want you to bear this pressure,” he softened his tone and comforted her. “Don’t worry, I will arrange for the best orthopedic surgeon abroad to heal Shen Xiyue’s legs. I know you will feel guilty and blame yourself for this, but it will never be a stumbling block to us being together.”

Su Youling found Li Tingxi's promise somewhat laughable. What guarantee did he have that Shen Xiyue's leg would definitely be healed?

Moreover, she didn't believe they could continue their relationship without Shen Xiyue.

Su Youling unconsciously looked at her legs, and the image of Shen Xiyue sitting in a wheelchair appeared in her mind, making her eyes even more gloomy and repressed.

Seeing her like this, Li Tingxi couldn't help but feel panicked. He hugged her tightly and emphasized in her ear, "Su Su, you can't just give up your feelings. You can't push me to Shen Xiyue just because you feel guilty towards her."

Su Youling couldn't listen to him at all; she was still in shock at how she had indirectly caused Shen Xiyue to lose her legs.

After finally managing to digest some of it, Li Tingxi's tight embrace made her even more agitated, so she pushed him away abruptly, saying, "Can't you leave me alone for a while?!"

Li Tingxi was pulled back two steps by her force, his eyes darkened, and he left without saying a word.

After entrusting Su Youling to the bodyguard's care, he still went to see Shen Xiyue.

Shen Xiyue, who had just been rescued, lay pale on the hospital bed. No matter how much Shen Cong and his wife cried beside her, her eyes showed no light, as if she had lost the will to live.

The arrival of Li Tingxi instantly brought a glimmer of light to her eyes.

Shen Xiyue's eyes focused, and her eyes immediately reddened when she saw Li Tingxi's face clearly.

Li Tingxi gestured to Qin He beside him with his chin, indicating that he should take Shen Cong and his wife out.

The Shen couple exchanged a knowing glance. Before leaving, Shen's mother wiped away her tears and deliberately said, "Yueyue, Li Tingxi has finally come to visit you. You must not do anything foolish again."

As she spoke, she secretly gave Shen Xiyue a wink.

When only the two of them were left in the ward, Shen Xiyue reached out a hand to hold Li Tingxi's hand hanging by his side. "Tingxi, I thought I would never see you again."

As soon as she opened her mouth, tears streamed down her face like beads from a broken string. Her pitiful appearance would have made Li Tingxi feel heartbroken in the past.

But that was in the past.

Li Tingxi dodged the question without batting an eye, his face showing not a trace of pity or sympathy, but rather a chilling indifference. "Chen Xiyue, that's enough. There's no need to play these tricks on me anymore. You're tired, and I don't have time to play along."

Shen Xiyue's hand, which was still outstretched in mid-air, froze. When she lowered it, it trembled slightly. She had to pretend to be calm and said with a hurt expression, "Tingxi, do you think I committed suicide to force you to act?"

“You know best whether it’s true or not,” Li Tingxi completely lost his patience, narrowed his eyes, and ruthlessly exposed her, “Do you think I really can’t see it? Including the last time you threatened me with death, and when you pretended to be pushed down by Su Su, I was willing to be lenient with you before because of my guilt, but now you have crossed the line of my tolerance.”

With each word he spoke, Shen Xiyue's heart sank lower.

point.

“Maybe I gave you the wrong impression before, but there is absolutely no possibility between us. I will marry Su Su soon,” Li Tingxi said, his eyes carrying a hint of warning. “Zhao Xinning wanted to kill me and my wife. Your leg was injured because of me, not Su Su. Even if you hate me, you should come at me.”

Shen Xiyue's heart sank to the bottom, and all her thoughts were completely cut off at this moment.

"Li Tingxi, how could you be so heartless to me?" She covered her eyes and cried out in genuine emotion.

When Li Tingxi left, his expression remained unchanged. Shen's mother, believing that Shen Xiyue's suicide attempt had worked again, questioned him with full confidence: "Li Tingxi, my daughter has just returned from the brink of death. Where are you going if you're not with her?"

Li Tingxi didn't even pause for a moment before entering the elevator.

Chen's mother realized something was wrong and immediately tried to give chase.

Qin He strode forward and stopped the person.

Seeing the elevator already descending, Chen's mother grabbed Qin He's tie and started throwing a tantrum, disregarding her image: "Tell me, did Li Tingxi go to see that bitch Su Youling?"

Qin Hechong raised his hand, and the two bodyguards immediately pulled Shen Mu away from him.

Mother Shen panicked immediately and started scratching and kicking the two bodyguards, but they were quickly subdued and made to behave.

Qin He then relayed Li Tingxi's orders with a blank expression: "If you interfere in President Li and his wife's affairs again, President Li said he will not show any leniency. I think I don't need to tell you the consequences. In addition, I will also take back the card that President Li gave to Miss Shen. From now on, President Li will cover the medical expenses and Miss Shen's living expenses. As for you and Shen Cong, don't even think about taking advantage of us."

Upon hearing this, Chen's mother's eyes nearly popped out of their sockets, and she roared at the top of her lungs, "Why? We are Yueyue's parents!"

"Does Miss Shen know that you and Shen Cong have been using the card that President Li gave her for excessive spending?" Qin He sneered, unsurprised to see guilt in her eyes.

Without waiting for her to nod, Qin He simply and bluntly ordered the bodyguards to turn her bag upside down and successfully found the card in a hidden compartment.

The expression on Shen's mother's face was as if she were biting off a piece of her own flesh.

After Qin He left with his bodyguards, Shen Cong also returned.

When he heard from his mother that Qin He had taken the card, he felt as if the sky was about to fall.

During this time, they restored their previous quality of life with the help of the card given by Li Tingxi. Having gotten used to a life of extravagance, how could they possibly be willing to tighten their belts and live a hard life again?

Shen Congyue couldn't swallow her anger any longer. "No, we absolutely can't let this go. Yueyue has lost both legs. Li Tingxi has to take full responsibility for us! Since Li Tingxi is so unreasonable, then we'll go find Su Youling."

He turned to look at Chen's mother and said, "Go and persuade your daughter to think of a solution."

As soon as the two entered the room, they saw Shen Xiyue staring blankly at the ceiling, looking lifeless.

Mother Shen was furious at her daughter's lack of self-confidence and tried her best to persuade her: "Yueyue, we can't just let this go. You suffered because of Su Youling. Why should she be able to sit back and wait to marry Li Tingxi without any worries? It's not too much to ask her to take responsibility for your leg, is it?"

After a moment of silence, Shen Xiyue closed her eyes wearily and shook her head: "Mom, stop talking. I don't want to humiliate myself anymore."
