Chapter 549 This matter is inextricably linked to Ye Qing.

The children were incredibly excited; the three little ones huddled together, chattering nonstop.

“Those two rascals had such a sour face just now,” Yueyue giggled happily. “They were so arrogant, they almost peed their pants when Daddy came!”

Her sudden cry of "Dad!" jolted Xingxing and Yangyang, who were also immersed in a joyful mood, back to reality.

"It's all my fault for having diarrhea today, otherwise I definitely wouldn't have let anyone bully you," Xingxing glanced at Su Youling's back and lowered her voice, "but it's good that you were smart enough to call Uncle Li in time."

After his reminder, Yueyue wrinkled her nose and changed her address back: "Hmph, you're definitely not as reliable as Uncle Li!"

Su Youling subconsciously looked at Li Tingxi and noticed that his expression changed from elation to slight disappointment. She pursed her lips and felt a little uneasy.

It's impossible for Li Tingxi not to feel disappointed, but his ability to accept things has improved significantly over this period of time.

Even if it was just for acting, the fact that the children were willing to call him "Dad" already surprised and delighted him. The obvious change in Yueyue's attitude towards him made him feel that his efforts during this period had not been in vain.

Faced with the children's gratitude, Li Tingxi made no attempt to take credit. "Protecting you and your mother is what I should do. Don't worry, I will not allow such a thing to happen again."

The three children looked at him with bright eyes, and he felt an unprecedented sense of security.

So this is what it feels like to have your dad backing you up?

Li Tingxi's image in their hearts suddenly seemed to become taller and more imposing.

Su Youling saw this and realized once again how eagerly the children longed to be fathers.

Wasn't all she ever wanted the children to be happy? Now, things don't seem so bad...

Because Li Tingxi has work to attend to, he has to leave first. "I'll arrange for bodyguards to come over, you..."

"If you'd like to look around some more, that's fine too."

Su Youling's mood was affected by Wang Jianfeng and Tian Xin, those two troublemakers. The children originally came out shopping with the intention of bringing Li Tingxi and Su Youling together, but now that Li Tingxi was leaving, the four of them seemed to have lost interest.

So Su Youling took her three children and prepared to go home.

Li Tingxi drove when they arrived, but now it's Su Youling's turn. Considering the safety of the three children, she drives very slowly and pays close attention to the surrounding vehicles.

Whether it was her imagination or not, it seemed like there was a van lagging far behind them in the rearview mirror's field of vision, following them all the way.

However, when they reached a fork in the road, the car disappeared.

She shook her head, thinking it was because she had been on edge lately. But even if it was paranoia, she dared not let her guard down.

Even after we got back to the villa and got out of the car with the children, the feeling that we were being watched still lingered.

Su Youling's expression was slightly solemn. When she turned around to talk to the children, she pretended to casually glance around, but did not notice anything unusual.

Xingxing and Yangyang noticed her expression; her little face also looked somewhat serious.

Yangyang looked alert. "Mom, is something wrong?"

Su Youling didn't say anything. After leading the children into the house, she had the bodyguard check the surveillance cameras installed outside the villa, but they didn't find anything suspicious.

She didn't investigate further, but simply instructed her bodyguards to increase their vigilance.

...

Professor Richard suggested that Yangyang need to undergo a pre-treatment examination, and Li Tingxi and Su Youling cooperated by taking Yangyang to Professor Richard's house.

Li Tingxi and Su Youling acted openly and honestly when they met people, which made Professor Richard feel a little guilty.

“Although what happened last time was a misunderstanding, Ye Qing still caused you trouble,” Professor Richard said with a guilty look and a sigh. “My daughter has been away from me for many years, and because of the relationship between her mother and me… In short, I have always felt indebted to her over the years. She is also a strong-willed person who can’t stand being taken advantage of. I apologize to you as her father for any offense she may have caused.”

He wasn't the kind of person who blindly favored his daughter. Although Ye Qing was injured, he believed he had gotten to know Li Tingxi and Su Youling's character after spending time with them. He didn't believe that Li Tingxi and Su Youling were deliberately targeting Ye Qing.

Ye Qing is certainly not innocent in this matter, but he only has one daughter, and he really can't bear to hold anyone accountable.

So after calming down and thinking it through, he even regretted his attitude when Li Tingxi came to his door that day.

Su Youling and Li Tingxi exchanged a glance, knowing full well that Ye Qing would never tell them what she had done; on the contrary, she was very likely to have smeared them severely.

Professor Richard not only didn't pursue the matter, but also apologized on Ye Qing's behalf, which surprised them.

At that moment, Su Youling and Li Tingxi both saw the respect for Professor Richard in each other's eyes.

They were very fortunate that the old man was virtuous and skilled, and did not go back on his word because of Ye Qing. He continued to follow up on Yangyang's treatment diligently, and even humbled himself before them for Ye Qing's sake.

Su Youling smiled at Professor Richard, "You're exaggerating."

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

You and Ye Qing shouldn't be confused. In fact, we should be thanking you. We'll have to trouble you with Yangyang's illness.

She is also a mother of three, and putting herself in his shoes, she can fully understand Professor Richard's protection of Ye Qing, but that doesn't mean she has to forgive Ye Qing because of Professor Richard.

Professor Richard understood Su Youling's implied meaning and knew that he shouldn't interfere in the affairs of these young people, so he sighed softly.

However, when facing Yangyang, he quickly smiled again, "Little guy, come with me to do some basic check-ups first."

After Yangyang followed Professor Richard upstairs into his medical room, Su Youling turned her gaze to Li Tingxi and asked, "I heard that another kidnapper you found seems to be connected to Ye Qing?"

Li Tingxi's expression turned slightly grave, and he shook his head. "There is currently no direct evidence pointing to her."

But in fact, both of them knew very well that Ye Qing was probably involved in this matter.

...

After Ye Qing learned that Li Tingxi and Su Youling had visited Professor Richard to discuss Yangyang's treatment, she immediately inquired about the situation with Afang and learned that Professor Richard had already contacted the hospital and would arrange for Yangyang to be hospitalized for treatment soon.

This news reignited her long-simmering anger, so she immediately contacted David and unleashed a torrent of abuse: "Didn't I already tell you to speed things up? How much money have I spent on you? Providing you with a car and surveillance equipment, and what have you done? You're utterly useless, you can't even get any information out of me, what use are you to me?"

She had practically made it clear to the old man that he should refuse to treat that bitch Rebecca's son. She was the old man's only biological child, and he was siding with an outsider instead of her. How could she swallow this insult?!
