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 427 His condition is more serious than imagined.
“I…I’m not…” These words touched a raw nerve in Li Lihua, and she became flustered.
This woman has a sharp tongue, and her aura and methods are far more powerful than Su Youling's. Apart from her face, she really doesn't look like a human being at all.
"Zhou Lang, help her up," Su Youling said leisurely. "Since we're at the hospital, let's get the paternity test done so you won't be so paranoid and follow me around every day."
Without saying a word, Zhou Lang grabbed Li Lihua and roughly tried to drag her out.
Su Youling stepped into the elevator first, seemingly fearless, just waiting for the result so she could vent her anger on the person.
Li Lihua suddenly became terrified and grabbed onto the elevator door, running out. "I'm not doing this anymore! I don't have a daughter as heartless as you! You're crazy, you're a madwoman!"
She rushed frantically toward the stairwell, as if a ghost were chasing her.
"Zhou Lang, didn't you say Zhou Ming is better at tracking than you?" Su Youling coldly stared in the direction she left. "Have Zhou Ming follow her immediately and see who she'll be seeing these next few days, and what her lifestyle will be like."
Zhou Lang didn't ask any further questions. "Understood. I'll inform him to take care of it right away."
Su Youling narrowed her eyes.
Who exactly orchestrated this, sending Li Lihua to test my identity?
...
City A, Chu's Group.
The endorsement contract was signed in the conference room.
Yu Jiaren dismissed her agent and looked coldly at Xia Zhiying, "Don't think I don't know what you're up to—pretending to agree to the divorce as a strategic retreat, you want to win Yuexuan back!"
Xia Zhiying put down the contract and said calmly, "Ms. Yu, delusions are an illness, and they need to be treated."
"You!" Yu Jiaren was surprised for a moment.
Isn't it said that this Natsumi is a pushover who can be easily manipulated?
Judging from his tone, he doesn't sound like a coward!
Was she playing dumb in front of Yue Xuan all along to outsmart him?
Yu Jiaren glanced at the camera above without showing any emotion, then suddenly leaned closer and said sarcastically, "Yue Xuan has been fed up with you for a long time, otherwise he wouldn't have made you serve those bloated, fat clients! If Assistant Xia knows what's good for him, he should get lost and avoid becoming disliked."
As long as we provoke Xia Zhiying to lose her temper and let everyone see her fierce and unruly side, we'll see if she still has the face to stay in the Chu family!
"Miss Yu, you have two faces, one in public and one in private!" Xia Zhiying looked at her mockingly. "You have so much free time to target me at every turn, is it because President Chu can't fill your emptiness?"
Yu Jiaren's expression changed.
No matter how much she hinted and seduced him during this period, Chu Yuexuan's interest seemed to have waned.
He was always perfunctory and superficial in his affection for women, and deep down he was mostly indifferent and reserved towards them. Unexpectedly, he was always able to stir up his emotions with just a few words from Xia Zhiying.
This woman is definitely not simple.
Xia Zhiying raised an eyebrow, somewhat surprised, "It seems Chu Yuexuan treats you no differently than he treats other women. No wonder he's so hostile towards me!"
"You!" Yu Jiaren's face turned ashen with anger. "Everyone says that Xia Zhu is shrewd and gentle, but I never expected him to be so sharp-tongued."
"Thank you for the compliment." Xia Zhiying handed her a life guide and said calmly, "To be honest, no matter why we got married back then, serving Chu Yuexuan is just my job now. If I want to resign now, I have to hand over my duties to you properly, so I will teach you how to please him! I hope you can stand out from his many women as soon as possible."

"
She glared at the hostile Yu Jiaren and coldly warned, "Besides that, Miss Yu, don't bother me unless you have to! Understand?"
Her eyes were filled with coldness, and her imposing aura made Yu Jiaren shudder. She subconsciously and obediently accepted the life manual.
"It was a pleasure working with you." Xia Zhiying left satisfied.
Yu Jiaren stared intently at her retreating figure, as if waking from a dream. Suddenly, she kicked the chair hard, saying, "Xia Zhiying, you just wait."
Xia Zhiying received a call from Su Youling as soon as she left the company.
After listening to her description of Li Tingxi's condition, her eyes became somewhat serious. "It seems that his condition is more serious than I imagined."
She glanced at the sky. "I'm sorry, I have some miscellaneous tasks to take care of these next few days, but I will try to come up with a simple preliminary treatment plan as soon as possible so that you can address the symptoms and temporarily relieve his psychological stress."
Su Youling breathed a sigh of relief. "Thank you."
“Miss Su…” Xia Zhiying had just opened her mouth when Su Youling smiled helplessly, “Dr. Xia, we are all Rebecca’s friends, and I hope we can become friends as well. Just call me Lingling, but for now, please call me Rebecca.”
Her occasional playfulness always made people feel relaxed. "Lingling, I really want to see your children sometime. I... I've decided to keep the children."
She had only met Su Youling twice, so she shouldn't have told her such private matters.
However, for some reason, she found it difficult to be wary of Su Youling.
Perhaps it was because their experiences were quite similar that she always wanted to draw strength from the glamorous Su Youling.
"Of course, no problem." Su Youling understood her struggle and hesitation, carefully comforted and helped her resolve her anxieties, giving her a lot of confidence.
Xia Zhiying felt a warm glow in her heart, and the fatigue from her conversation with Yu Jiaren just now disappeared.
“In the early stages of pregnancy, it’s easy to get tired. You need to take good care of the baby in your belly, eat well and sleep well, and don’t overwork yourself,” Su Youling advised, drawing on her own experience. “Since you’ve decided to have the baby, you should treat him well. The better you take care of yourself now, the healthier he will be after he is born.”
"I will." Xia Zhiying had planned to resolve this case and immediately distance herself from any work or people related to Chu Yuexuan.
However, the launch of the new product was imminent, so we had to redo the endorsement plan, accompany Yu Jiaren for filming, edit videos, conduct pre-launch promotions, and market the product...
Xia Zhiying had to personally inspect everything.
After working through three long nights, Xia Zhiying finished reviewing the promotional copy and handed it over to the project's marketing team. Her head was still spinning.
She originally planned to oversee the upload of the promotional video to the official website, and then take a half-day off to rest. However, Sister Zhen suddenly called and immediately scolded her, "What kind of assistant are you? Our Jiaren twisted her ankle during the photoshoot, and now her ankle is swollen so much. How can she perform on stage this afternoon?"
Xia Zhiying was taken aback. "I didn't hear that she sprained her ankle during filming last night?"
"That's because Jiaren is dedicated. As her assistant, don't you even know the basics of reading between the lines? No wonder President Chu fired you..." Sister Zhen cursed a few more times, then ordered unhappily, "Go and buy some medicine for bruises and sprains, take it to the lounge, and personally massage Jiaren to reduce the swelling!"
After hanging up the phone, a cold glint flashed in Xia Zhiying's eyes.
During filming, Yu Jiaren caused quite a bit of trouble and made things difficult for the crew.
Did she ignore his warning?
She'll settle the accounts slowly after the promotion ends!
