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 699 You're Dead
"Okay, let's take a look together." As soon as Su Youling finished speaking, Yueyue and Xingxing, the two eye-catching girls, excitedly ran over with two large photo albums, and also asked Yangyang to help play the electronic video.
"Grandma Wang, this is just the first version. We'll be shooting for many more days," Yueyue said proudly. "Today, the photographer even praised us, saying we're so good-looking that it's... bad for the mirror."
"It doesn't mean 'damage the mirror,' it means 'looks good on camera,' which means good-looking." Having watched too much TV, Xingxing proactively explained, then quickly flipped through photos of herself boxing and videos of herself wielding nunchucks. "This is me, this is Dad! Aren't I awesome?"
Aunt Wang and the others couldn't stop smiling when they saw the lively, clever, and beautiful little angels. "Amazing, the young master is especially amazing."
The hall was filled with a joyful atmosphere.
Li Tingxi noticed that Su Youling didn't seem to be in a good mood, so he stepped forward and asked with concern, "Su Su, why are you unhappy? I thought you would be happy to see an old friend."
"Seeing Aunt Wang and the others makes me happy, of course. But they also remind me of how you tormented me in this house back then." Su Youling glanced at him sideways and snorted coldly, "Tonight, you can continue sleeping in the guest room."
Li Tingxi looked completely innocent: "Su Su, be reasonable. Didn't we already say it was all in the past? Why are you bringing up old grievances again?"
"I meant it's in the past, not that I've forgotten. You've gone to such lengths to remind me, I'm not stupid, how could I remain unmoved?" Su Youling wanted to be an unreasonable little woman tonight, so she pushed him away with a stern face. "I'm going to the kitchen to check. There are so many people tonight, let's have a proper meal..."
She paused, then suddenly glanced upstairs: "Hao Tianyi has been sleeping at home for so long, and she doesn't seem to mind all the noise downstairs? She's so well-behaved? Could she be sick?"
Li Tingxi had just returned home and was preparing a little surprise, so he didn't have time to greet Hao Tianyi, assuming she was still sleeping.
Su Youling's reminder made him realize how strange it was: "Given that girl's temper, even if she doesn't cause trouble, she'll still show up and say a few words to make her presence known. What's wrong with her tonight?"
Could it be that I said something harsh in the studio this morning, making her sad until now?
Li Tingxi lowered his head and kissed Su Youling on the forehead. "You talk to Aunt Wang and the others first, I'll go upstairs and check on them... It's nothing, they're probably just being childish."
Su Youling nodded.
Hao Tianyi's room is on the third floor. A far cry from the pink princess style she had in her youth, she transformed her room into a sophisticated and mature style when she returned to China a couple of years ago.
If Li Tingxi hadn't stopped her from touching a single tree or blade of grass in the Li Mansion, she would have even wanted to renovate the entire mansion.
"Tianyi, are you still asleep?" Li Tingxi knocked on the door, but there was no response. He frowned and sensed that something was wrong.
He made the phone call through the door, but there was no response from inside.
It doesn't seem like he's asleep; it's more like he's not home.
Li Tingxi frowned and quickly called the driver, only to find out that Hao Tianyi had actually run off with Le Yixun, whom he had only met once.
"You just let her go like that? Without sending anyone to follow her? Why didn't you tell me sooner that something this serious happened?"
Hearing Li Tingxi's angry question, the driver trembled with fear and hurriedly explained, "Sir, it's not that I didn't want to talk about it, it's just that Miss Tianyi said you were busy taking wedding photos and that the matter had been resolved, so she didn't want to bother you. She also said that the gentleman was a friend of Madam's, so I..."
Li Tingxi's face turned cold, and he asked angrily, "Where did they go?"
#Please do not use incognito mode whenever verification is required!
The driver quickly reassured him, "Sir, don't worry. I'll have someone follow and protect Miss on the way to the police station. Let me make a call and ask. They'll definitely contact us if anything happens."
Li Tingxi hung up the phone with a dark expression: "Le Yixun!"
This guy is really persistent and has gone too far in his carefree ways!
He just harassed his wife, and now he's making advances towards his sister...
Thinking about how he suddenly barged into the studio and caused trouble today, Li Tingxi's face grew even darker, and his eyes narrowed dangerously.
It seems we have to create more trouble for Le Yixun so that he won't have time to worry about his own affairs!
Thinking of this, Li Tingxi returned to his study, turned on his computer, and sent all the information Qin He had gathered about Mi Cheng and her daughter to Le Songming, who was abroad.
Soon, a life-or-death phone call came in.
"Li Tingxi, how do you know all this? You have him in your hands? What exactly do you want to do?" Le Songming asked coldly.
“The person is in Le Yixun’s hands, but he won’t let you find them easily,” Li Tingxi said casually. “If you want to see your wife and children, then come to City A as soon as possible. Otherwise, if you are a step too late, Le Yixun might send the person away so that you can continue to work for him.”
"Damn it!" Yue Songming seemed to have kicked something over, and shouted angrily, "You wait, I'm booking plane tickets right now! Don't you dare get any funny ideas, or I'll ruin your wedding!"
Li Tingxi sneered and hung up the phone.
As expected of brothers, both are equally unlikable.
Just then, the driver suddenly rushed in, looking pale and panting, "Sir, something...something's happened!"
"What?" Li Tingxi's expression changed, and he suddenly stood up.
The winter nights grew colder and colder, with biting winds.
Li Tingxi, with a face like Yama, stormed into the club with a chilling north wind around him, his eyes radiating a murderous aura.
"Li Tingxi, calm down." Su Youling quickly followed and whispered, "Don't make things worse. Let's find out what's going on first."
Li Tingxi frowned, his murderous aura palpable, and said, "Le Yixun had better behave himself, or I'll make sure he can't be human anymore!"
Seeing that he was so angry that he was about to lose his mind, Su Youling sighed helplessly and quickly asked Qin Lang to find the manager to open the door. Then she instructed everyone to wait outside and not to say a word to anyone else.
Immediately afterwards, she and Li Tingxi entered the room one after the other. Upon seeing the room full of broken bottles, the strong, lingering smell of alcohol, and scattered pieces of clothing...
The two of them felt a sudden sinking feeling in their hearts.
Things seem to be going badly.
"Le Yixun!" Li Tingxi gritted his teeth and walked towards the inner room, his murderous aura intensifying, as if he wanted to drag Le Yixun out and tear him to pieces.
The room was dimly lit as the lights were off.
A bulge appeared on the large bed, revealing only two furry heads nestled together.
Seemingly sensing a chilling murderous aura, Le Yixun opened her eyes first. After a while, she saw the man with a dark, god-like face and was immediately startled: "Who are you... Li Tingxi? Are you out of your mind? Standing by my bed in the middle of the night to scare me?"
Li Tingxi gritted his teeth as he looked at the girl in his arms. Even though the light was dim and he couldn't see her face clearly, he could still make out her features—damn it!
What a bastard! How dare you touch Hao Tianyi?
"Le Yixun, you're dead!" He suddenly threw a punch!
