Chapter 428 Was Karina the one who instructed her?

Despite feeling sleepy, Xia Zhiying bought medicine and took it to the rest room. She saw Chu Yuexuan helping Yu Jiaren, who was limping, walk out.

Chu Yuexuan is here. Did Yu Jiaren deliberately send her here to get scolded?

She turned to leave.

Only a fool would move forward now!

Chu Yuexuan suddenly looked over and coldly questioned, "Xia Zhiying, as your assistant, is this how you take care of Miss Yu?"

Xia Zhiying paused in her steps.

Yu Jiaren quickly comforted her, "Yuexuan, don't blame Xia Zhu. She was busy with promotional planning all night. The client was in a hurry, so it's normal that she couldn't pay attention to me for a while."

"You don't need to speak up for her!" Chu Yuexuan frowned and ordered Xia Zhiying, "Hurry up and apply the medicine to Miss Yu!"

Yu Jiaren said no, but a smug look was hidden in her eyes.

"Since Mr. Chu is so concerned, why don't you apply the medicine to Miss Yu yourself!" Xia Zhiying was exhausted after several days and had no desire to play along with their act.

She tossed the medicine into Chu Yuexuan's arms, glanced coldly at Yu Jiaren, and said sarcastically, "Maybe once President Chu gets involved, Miss Yu's foot will stop hurting immediately."

Yu Jiaren's expression changed slightly.

How dare Xia Zhiying be so bold as to show her disrespect in front of Chu Yuexuan?

Has she gone mad?

"I won't disturb you two any longer." Xia Zhiying ignored Chu Yuexuan's gloomy expression and turned to leave.

"Xia Zhiying!" Chu Yuexuan stepped forward and grabbed her arm, his face turning ashen with anger. "Your previous docility and obedience were all an act!"

Xia Zhiying moved her lips, as if she was about to say something.

Project Manager Li rushed over with his team and threw a stack of promotional plans at Xia Zhiying. "Assistant Xia, is this the promotional material you signed off on? It was immediately reported by viewers for false advertising, causing public outrage and resulting in an official fine! Even if you're going to resign, you can't treat people like this!"

"What?" Xia Zhiying's expression changed. She quickly shook off Chu Yuexuan, picked up the document, and carefully examined it.

The main promotional material actually used the version that she had rejected at the meeting?

"With what you've done, the spokesperson scandal that was finally suppressed these past two days has escalated even further. Chairman Li called to cancel the cooperation and instead went to negotiate new products with the rival company..." Manager Li cursed, spittle flying everywhere. "The Chu family has suffered huge losses this time. I really suspect that you secretly sided with the rival company and deliberately caused trouble for the company before you left!"

Chu Yuexuan stared at Xia Zhiying, his eyes shifting between light and shadow.

With such a huge mess, shouldn't she finally beg me for help this time?

At this moment, Yu Jiaren suddenly spoke up, "Manager Li, please don't be angry. Assistant Xia was probably too tired and made a mistake because she didn't check carefully. I believe she is definitely not a spy for the rival company!"

Xia Zhiying suddenly raised her eyes, her gaze icy cold. "Miss Yu, you just spout nonsense and spread malicious rumors. Do you think everyone else is a fool?"

“I’m speaking up for you…” Yu Jiaren looked aggrieved, her eyes filled with tears as she looked at Chu Yuexuan. “Yuexuan, I really didn’t mean any harm. Assistant Xia misunderstood me.”

"It's not your fault." Li Tingxi squeezed Yu Jiaren's hand, coaxing her casually, but his cold eyes were fixed on Xia Zhiying.

Fearless, quick-witted, and imposing... full of aggression!

This must be the true face that Xia Zhiying has hidden beneath her gentle exterior for so many years.

Good acting.

For so many years, everyone has been fooled by her gentle facade!

“Xia Zhiying, the claim that you are a spy is a lie, but you signed off on this document, didn’t you?” Chu Yuexuan looked down at her expressionlessly. “You should bear full responsibility for all the losses suffered by the Chu family this time.”

Xia Zhiying's gaze trembled as she looked at him.

Unsurprisingly, she became the scapegoat.

She knew she had been tricked, but what chilled her even more was that Chu Yuexuan didn't believe her.

“I publicly rejected this version of the document in the meeting,” Xia Zhiying tried to explain. “This wasn’t the version I signed off on…”

"Who can prove it?" Chu Yuexuan's icy gaze was piercing. "I only care about the results!"

Xia Zhiying clenched her fists so tightly that her nails dug deep into her palms.

When your heart grows cold, you can't feel the pain in your palms.

He didn't even bother to investigate before blaming her for everything. Isn't that retaliation?

It seems that Mr. Chu, who has a long history of romantic encounters, has never been rejected by a woman.

She initiated the divorce, which hurt his pride and his desire for control, making him unhappy!

"Give me a week, and I will make up for the losses of the Chu family and give everyone a satisfactory explanation." Xia Zhiying's eyes shone with a stubborn light.

She will never yield, nor will she let the mastermind behind this go unpunished.

Seeing her so stubborn, Chu Yuexuan felt a bit annoyed and frustrated, and said coldly, "Three days! If you can't do it, you can expect to receive a lawyer's letter!"

Xia Zhiying, you'll soon understand what will happen if you insist on leaving my protection!

In City C, the night was deep and dark.

Su Youling waited until the children were asleep before coming to the hospital to see if Li Tingxi had slept that night and how his sleep quality was.

Following Xia Zhiying's pre-planning, she regularly filmed videos of herself with the children and showed them to Li Tingxi. She also recorded some soothing songs to use as lullabies for him, changed his flowers every day, and subtly brought up the past, talking about the sweet moments and avoiding the painful ones.

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

I can keep quiet.

Xia Zhiying emphasized that Li Tingxi's illness was most likely caused by her; the nightmares of the past made it difficult for him to believe in the sweetness of reality.

The best and fastest way is to help Li Tingxi desensitize himself to the past. Once he is able to open himself up and tentatively face the past again, formal treatment can begin.

In other words, the only person who could truly get Li Tingxi to open up and accept treatment was Su Youling.

Therefore, she has been gradually pushing forward Xia Zhiying's plan recently. At first, she could clearly feel Li Tingxi's anxiety and unease because of her frequent mentions of the past. Later, seeing that she was indeed not acting strangely, she gradually let down her guard.

As expected, soothing music was playing in the ward. Li Tingxi didn't sleep soundly, but he didn't wake up in the middle of the night like before.

According to Dr. Fang's examination report, Li Tingxi should not have taken that medicine again since she returned to the hospital, and his emotions have stabilized considerably.

Su Youling breathed a sigh of relief.

I really have to thank Xia Zhiying. I heard that things weren't going well for her, but she still rushed to finish the plan for Li Tingxi.

At that moment, Zhou Ming suddenly poked his head in and gestured for her to come out.

Su Youling straightened the blankets for Li Tingxi, got up, closed the door, and her face immediately turned cold. "How was it? Did you find anything?"

“Li Lihua used to be very poor. After being kicked out of her job as a nanny, she rented a place in Chengzhang Village. But not long after she met you, she suddenly became rich, moved to a big house, and started spending lavishly on food, clothing and other necessities. She also frequently followed news from high society, especially about President Li and you.”

“Sure enough, someone gave her money to extort money from me.” Su Youling looked at Zhou Ming, her eyes flashing. “Let me guess, is the person who instructed her Karina? She suddenly disappeared recently and seems to have calmed down a lot, which is not like her personality.”
