Chapter 429 You're Jealous of Su Youling

“That’s right, it’s her.” Zhou Ming was just puzzled. “Karina and Li Lihua don’t have much interaction, so why are they suddenly working together? In terms of closeness, Li Lihua should be placing her hopes on you, Madam.”

“This is also something I’ve been wondering about lately.” Su Youling’s heart sank, and the point that had been bothering her for so long seemed to have been suddenly cleared up.

"Zhou Ming, I can be brought back to life, so others might be able to do the same, right?"

Zhou Ming was stunned for a moment, and wisely kept quiet.

“You continue to follow Li Lihua, and it would be best if you could get close to these two people and obtain evidence that confirms their actual relationship,” Su Youling said in a deep voice. “I need to reinvestigate Karina’s background.”

She paused for a moment and then instructed, "Tingxi's health has just improved, and he can't be subjected to any major shocks. Don't tell him about this yet."

Otherwise, given Li Tingxi's intelligence, he would surely have guessed that Karina was very likely involved with Shen Xiyue.

Although he now trusts that he has no feelings for Shen Xiyue, it doesn't mean that this woman's scheming can't hurt him.

Both Karina and Shen Xiyue occupy a certain place in his life.

More importantly, if Karina is indeed Shen Xiyue, then the car accident that made Li Tingxi feel guilty for so many years back then was likely a premeditated act with ulterior motives.

How disappointed and angry he must have been.

The only way to investigate Karina's matter is to ask Li Mufeng for help.

Abroad, his influence and connections are far more useful than his hacking skills alone.

He's perfect for investigating someone as complex as Karina.

...

While C city is rife with unpredictable events, A city is also experiencing turbulent times.

Soon, rumors spread within the company that Xia Zhiying had colluded with rivals to frame the Chu family, and many people openly criticized her while secretly trying to trip her up.

Xia Zhiying didn't care about these minor incidents. She changed her previous people-pleasing personality and started to do things her own way at the company, focusing on how to make up for the losses.

Unfortunately, things didn't go as planned. Chairman Li had already signed a letter of intent with the rival company and was avoiding Xia Zhiying.

She was turned away for three days in a row, and couldn't even get into the CEO's office at Li Corporation.

Thinking of the tense, clandestine power struggle between Old Master Li and Li Tingxi, Xia Zhiying came up with an alternative way out.

The deeper the entanglement between the Chu family and Old Master Li, the more severe the backlash they may suffer in the future.

Ultimately, she couldn't bear to watch him jump into the fire.

Let's find another partner!

She considered it as securing a bright future for Chu Yuexuan, and whether he would choose to continue siding with Old Master Li in the future was entirely none of her business.

There aren't many partners who can take on this kind of project to begin with, and now that the Chu family is embroiled in a public opinion storm, it's not so easy for them to take on such a project.

Just as Xia Zhiying was feeling down, she received a call from Rebecca. Rebecca was initially concerned about Li Tingxi and Su Youling, but noticing something was off in Xia Zhiying's tone, she pressed her for details before finally learning the reason.

"The elite of City A? I don't know much about this circle, but a friend of mine happens to be in City A recently. He's hosting a private cocktail party at a winery tomorrow night, and only those who receive an invitation can get in..." Rebecca smiled meaningfully, "Ms. Xia, would you be willing to be his dance partner tomorrow night?"

Xia Zhiying agreed without hesitation, saying, "It would be my honor."

"Do I have to dance?" Xia Zhiying asked, a hint of resistance in her eyes.

Her appearance and temperament are actually quite different from Xia Zhineng's.

However, she had practiced dancing with Xia Zhineng since childhood, and their dancing habits were somewhat similar—this was the main reason why she was able to become a substitute and marry Chu Yuexuan.

After taking Chu Yuexuan's place in marriage, she stopped dancing.

Rebecca smiled knowingly. "Honey, do you think Chu Yuexuan will explode if he sees you dancing in that handsome guy's arms tomorrow night?"

Xia Zhiying: "...He'll make me and that handsome guy explode together!"

Rebecca hung up the phone and called Li Mufeng, "I heard you've been pressured by your family to get married and have nowhere to turn, so you've gone to City A?"

"Miss, it was Su Youling who told you, wasn't it? You two, stop teasing me. I'm all because of Li Tingxi!" Li Mufeng snorted. "I don't know what's wrong with my parents. They don't believe anyone but listen to Li Tingxi. I can only find some peace and quiet by hiding in his territory."

"You want to get rid of your parents? It's simple," Rebecca whispered. "I've come up with a brilliant plan for you. After tomorrow night, your parents will have nothing to say."

"If it's true, I'll do anything for you." Li Mufeng's eyes lit up immediately.

...

City C, Li Mansion.

Li Lihua couldn't resist and sneaked in at night. She was almost caught by the security guards as a thief, but Shen Xiyue came out to pick her up herself.

"What are you up to? Didn't I tell you, at this critical moment, unless it's something important, don't come looking for me? There are too many people around here, and not only are there Old Master Li's spies everywhere, but Rebecca and Li Tingxi's people might also be watching me..." As soon as Shen Xiyue closed the door, she started scolding him, completely losing the gentle and respectful demeanor she used to show to her parents.

Li Lihua was stunned for a long time after being scolded. Suddenly, her face darkened, and she cried and scolded, "You heartless girl! I suffered so much to give birth to you and raise you, and I poured so much effort into you! Your father and I were counting on you to marry into a wealthy family and make our Shen family even better. But what have you done?"

"You're useless. You missed the chance to seize Li Tingxi when you should have, so we had to bring Su Youling back to clean up your mess. You regretted it back then and wanted to come back and get back together with Li Tingxi, but he took a fancy to Su Youling and didn't want you at all. You outwardly accepted your fate, but actually you've been blaming your father and me for bringing Su Youling back, haven't you?"

When Shen Xiyue's most hidden dark side was exposed, her face suddenly darkened. "What nonsense are you talking about? I never wanted to get involved between Li Tingxi and Su Youling in the first place. You forced me to! All the suffering I've endured today is thanks to you!"

"Stop deceiving yourself! You've always been arrogant and proud, never willing to be inferior to anyone. How proud you were when you caught Li Tingxi, how frustrated you were when you lost to Su Youling!" No one knows a daughter better than her mother, and Li Lihua cruelly exposed the dark side of Shen Xiyue's heart that she had always refused to face. "You were jealous of Su Youling, so you wanted to kill her back then!"

Snap!

Shen Xiyue, unable to bear it any longer, slapped her. "Shut up!"

Enraged, she finally revealed her sinister true colors: "What exactly do you want to say? What do you know?"

After collaborating with that person, she never saw her parents again, nor did she reveal any secrets about him to anyone.

Because that was her last resort!

How did Li Lihua find out?

Or perhaps she was just making wild guesses and speaking without thinking?
