Chapter 358 Almost completely surrendered

Old Master Li gave her a disapproving look. "Su Youling is hopeless? She's the one Li Tingxi has been obsessed with for so many years? Are you blind? How could I have chosen such a useless person like you?"

His tone was somewhat exasperated, "Expecting you to control Li Tingxi is simply wishful thinking!"

Karina was scolded and felt both angry and aggrieved, but she instinctively felt awe and fear in front of Old Master Li and dared not show the slightest dissatisfaction.

“Chairman Li, Rebecca and Su Youling… are still different.” She struggled softly.

"Nonsense! It took Su Youling several years to win Li Tingxi's heart. How much hardship and setbacks did she suffer along the way?" Old Master Li's eyes flashed with cold light. "This woman has only been back in the country for a few days, and she has already bewitched Li Tingxi with a little trick."

"I just hinted and pointed at her several times, practically blaming her with the word 'stand-in.' How could that little girl not know about the love triangle between Li Tingxi and Su Youling after returning to China? Yet she remained calm and composed, clearly not a simple character."

Karina thought back to her previous schemes, which all ended up backfiring on her, while Rebecca always managed to escape unscathed and even reap the benefits.

This woman certainly has her methods.

But hearing Old Master Li praise her rival in love like that, she couldn't help but feel uncomfortable. She kept quiet, but was furious inside.

In terms of ruthlessness, she might not be inferior to Rebecca.

only……

She didn't want to go down a path of mutual destruction unless absolutely necessary, and she certainly didn't want to be disliked by Li Tingxi.

However, given the current situation, it seems that she has no choice but to resolve it peacefully.

Old Master Li subtly observed her changing expression and said with a hint of provocation, "She's a woman with a dozen children, yet she thinks she can easily control Li Tingxi just because of that face that resembles Su Youling? This woman's methods are probably more ruthless and precise than we imagined."

“You’re right, I’ve been burned before. No wonder Tingxi is so infatuated with her that he doesn’t even give you face.” Karina wasn’t stupid either, and she turned around and used reverse psychology on the old man.

But an old fox is an old fox; keeping his emotions hidden is a basic quality. "You're both raising children and dating rich men, so how come you've spent so many years, still feeling guilty and grateful to Li Tingxi, and still can't win his heart?"

This wasn't the first time Karina had experienced such blatant irony and humiliation from the old man, but it was the most direct and hurtful one yet.

Karina's expression changed, turning from pale to ashen, before finally settling into a ruthless glint that flashed by in an instant and did not linger for long.

“Chairman Li, I just said! Rebecca and Su Youling are not the same.” She raised her head, her voice filled with a chilling coldness.

"Su Youling was forced into a marriage in place of another. She had no backing and no ability. Back then, she had to rely on the charity of the Li family and the gifts of Li Tingxi for food, clothing, and shelter. She lived a humble life, and even though she was unwilling, she could only be a substitute and be at the mercy of others."

"But Rebecca is a pampered heiress from a wealthy family. Not to mention how unique her kingdom is, the powerful Rebecca family behind her means that she is destined to be a rose with thorns."

"You mean, Li Tingxi's attraction to her isn't solely based on her face?" Old Master Li's eyes flashed, and he forced a satisfied smile. "Looks like you have a way to deal with this?"

Karina nodded. "It took me a lot of effort to find out about this Rebeccaine."

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

Because of his poor health since childhood, he rarely appeared in public and never interfered in the family business. He has only recently begun to emerge, which has caused discontent not only within the extended family but also among many elders in the strange kingdom.

“Rebecca returned to the country this time with a winning mentality to secure the art exhibition project. If she fails, she will have to slink back to become a useless rich girl who sits around waiting to die. At that time, without the halo of a strong woman, Tingxi’s filter for her will naturally weaken.”

She curled her lips into a sarcastic smile. "This time, I want her to be humiliated in public, to let Tingxi see with his own eyes how she loses her halo and becomes an object of ridicule and shame in the industry!"

Old Master Li regained his calm expression. "You have such ambition; it's no wonder I've nurtured you for so many years."

Karina smiled shyly, appearing gentle, submissive, and extremely compliant. "However, Tingxi is now forbidding me from interfering in the pottery culture and art exhibition project, clearly wanting to make way for Rebecca. Chairman Li, I need your help to take action."

"I'm looking forward to your performance." Old Master Li glanced at her indifferently and nodded slightly.

Meanwhile, inside the Li Mansion.

The atmosphere grew thick and intense, filled with an ambiguous, fiery glow. Once the passion intensified, it became uncontrollable.

"Li Tingxi!" Su Youling felt a heat on her thigh and quickly grabbed his hand, her face flushed. "Have you gone crazy enough? You've bitten my lip until it bled."

The redness in Li Tingxi's eyes faded, and looking at her face, which was filled with both anger and resentment, he couldn't help but peck her lips a few more times. "Saliva can disinfect."

"Get the hell out of here." Su Youling kicked him off the sofa, frantically straightening her disheveled clothes, her heart pounding.

just!

Almost there!

We almost completely fell into their trap.

This man is terrifying.

"I'm sleepy, I want to sleep." Su Youling turned to go to the guest room, but Li Tingxi carried her back to the master bedroom. "Don't worry, I won't touch you."

Su Youling looked incredulous. "I didn't bring anything. It's inconvenient."

"We have everything here. What do you want?" Li Tingxi turned around and pressed a button on the wall, revealing a hidden door.

The door opened, revealing a luxurious walk-in closet.

From haute couture gowns to slippers and pajamas, along with matching jewelry, shoes, and bags... there's a wide variety of styles and designs to choose from.

"I've prepared new toiletries and daily necessities according to your current preferences." Li Tingxi led her into the dressing room, where it was filled with cosmetics.

It's practically a replica of Su Youling's dressing room.

“These…” Su Youling quickly realized, frowning, “Yueyue betrayed me again, didn’t she? That traitorous little thing!”

“The little guy is a natural matchmaker, cute and sensible. I’m looking forward to the day when he can openly call me ‘Dad.’” Li Tingxi’s tone was full of anticipation and affection, but it made Su Youling’s heart skip a beat.

dad?

Did Yueyue accidentally let something slip?

Judging from Li Tingxi's expression, it didn't seem like he had discovered it.

Su Youling felt a mix of emotions. Her surprise and emotion were instantly replaced by worry. It seemed that she needed to arrange more things to enrich the children's lives and prevent Yueyue and Li Tingxi from contacting each other so frequently.
