Chapter 701 The Adult World

Hao Tianyi grew angrier as she spoke, and said sadly, "Now that you're getting married, all you care about is Su Youling and your children. How could you possibly remember me? If you hadn't driven me away, how could I have encountered all this trouble? Now that you've already indulged yourself, it's too late to say anything."

She angrily raised her tear-reddened face, "Do you also want to beat me to death? And you want to teach me a lesson on behalf of my parents?"

"You!" Li Tingxi was furious. He raised his hand, wanting to punish his disobedient sister, but seeing her fragile, red eyes, he couldn't bring himself to do it.

"Alright, Li Tingxi." Su Youling frowned and pulled Li Tingxi out first. "She's still a child at heart. If you scold her like this in front of others, her self-esteem won't be able to take it."

“But…” Li Tingxi’s brows furrowed so deeply they could trap a fly, and he punched the wall in frustration. “It’s my fault for not explaining things clearly during the day. I should have asked one more question. I shouldn’t have just let her leave like that.”

"That girl sounds carefree, but she has always kept herself clean and virtuous in the chaotic circles abroad all these years. She rarely even drinks alcohol. This time, it's my fault for not taking good care of her feelings and letting that bastard steal away from her."

Su Youling: "..."

No wonder Hao Tianyi is so desperate to prove that she is an adult.

Everyone around her seemed to treat her like a child, which backfired and further fueled the girl's desire to prove herself, leading her to where she is today.

"Don't blame yourself. Things have come to this, and we have to find a solution." Su Youling glanced inside and gave Li Tingxi a warning look. "Don't go in yet. Let the two of them talk it out. Whatever the outcome, we must respect Tianyi's decision."

Li Tingxi gritted his teeth, clearly unhappy, but he ultimately restrained his violent impulse due to Su Youling's warning.

Inside the private room.

Le Yixun and Hao Tianyi looked at each other, one looking disheveled and the other heartbroken and helpless. They stared at each other for a long time without saying a word.

After a long while, Yue Yixun's legs went numb from standing.

The injuries on his legs and face were throbbing with pain, and he couldn't help but move slightly: "Shall we sit down and talk?"

Seeing the pain on his face, Hao Tianyi bit her lip and sat down on the sofa a distance away: "Does it hurt a lot? I'm sorry, Li Tingxi misunderstood and hit too hard. I will pay for the medical expenses."

"It's alright, I'm tough as nails, unlike you little girls." Le Yixun, feeling guilty and not daring to look at how many marks were on Hao Tianyi's body, said in a hoarse voice, "I'm sorry, little girl, I..."

"No need to apologize!" Hao Tianyi sat up instantly as if she had been burned by the sofa. "No one needs to apologize. I also studied and grew up abroad. The atmosphere there is open, and I'm used to it. It's just alcohol. The adult world is nothing more than this. We don't need to make a big deal out of it like it's the end of the world, right?"

Seeing her eagerness to justify herself, Yue Yixun nodded subconsciously: "You're right."

I was afraid that if I spoke too late, the little girl would burst into tears right there in front of me.

"Since I'm right, there's nothing to worry about. I won't call the police, and you should go to the hospital right away; this injury is quite frightening," Hao Tianyi said, feigning nonchalance. "Alcohol is harmful, so we should drink less in the future... haha, less is better."

Le Yixun scratched his head and nodded awkwardly: "Alcohol is bad, drink less, drink less."

Seeing Hao Tianyi's uncomfortable appearance, he couldn't help but ask, "Are you still in pain?"

boom!

Hao Tianyi suddenly blushed, wishing she could dig a cellar and crawl into it right then and there!

Do you still feel pain?

Where does it hurt?

Why does it hurt?

Why did this guy bring it up again?

Aren't you embarrassed?

Hao Tianyi stomped her feet, feeling somewhat devastated, but she couldn't lose her temper on the spot for the sake of her pride. In her haste, she just wanted to escape this awful place as soon as possible.

"You should worry about yourself more, old man! You're too old to keep up with all this." With that, she buried her head and ran off with her ears burning red.

Su Youling and Li Tingxi were guarding the door. When they heard the noise, they turned around instinctively and came face to face with Hao Tianyi, whose face was flushed.

"Tianyi..."

"Stop talking, let's go home!" Hao Tianyi interrupted hastily, and ran away. "Don't cause him any trouble. It was consensual. Don't embarrass me."

Watching her flee in panic, Su Youling raised an eyebrow.

Something's not right.

Given this young lady's temperament, if she were truly bullied or taken advantage of, she wouldn't let it go so easily.

"Her face is so red, you could boil an egg in it." Su Youling glanced inside thoughtfully, her eyes telling a story.

Li Tingxi didn't realize the implications and, with a dark face, still wanted to punch Le Yixun, but Su Youling pulled him away, saying, "Don't make Tianyi unhappy anymore, you blockhead!"

Li Tingxi walked out of the club still unwilling to give up, gritting his teeth in anger: "Just letting him go like this is too good for that bastard!"

“Given Tianyi’s personality, if she really suffered a loss and wanted revenge, she would never want you to take action for this. She would rather take revenge herself.” Su Youling pushed the person into the car and whispered, “Don’t make this public for now. The young girl cares about her reputation, so don’t hurt her pride.”

Li Tingxi frowned, filled with regret.

"Don't blame yourself." Su Youling knew he was tormented, but time couldn't be turned back, and they could only let things take their course and respect Hao Tianyi's wishes.

Regret is useless.

Frankly speaking, this matter is not about who is right or wrong; pursuing it relentlessly will only hurt people.

Once Li Tingxi calmed down, he naturally understood this principle, so after returning home, he didn't let the servants disturb him, nor did he confront Hao Tianyi.

Su Youling brewed a hangover soup, and knowing that Hao Tianyi was not happy to see her and Li Tingxi, she asked Yueyue and Xingxing to help deliver it in.

Sure enough, the two little ones stayed in the house for more than an hour before coming out with empty bowls.

"How is it?" Li Tingxi asked in a low voice.

"Auntie is asleep. She looks so sleepy," Yueyue said worriedly. "Daddy, is Auntie sick? Should we call a doctor?"

Upon hearing this, Li Tingxi's expression turned even uglier.

"It's alright, Auntie is just too tired today. She'll be fine after a nap. You two should get some rest too." Su Youling quickly took the two children back to bed.

Turning around, I saw Li Tingxi storming back to his study to make a phone call.

It's obvious that this guy is going to teach Le Yixun a lesson, and he's determined to get revenge for Hao Tianyi.

Forget it, let him be!

Su Youling returned to the master bedroom. Thinking about how protective Li Tingxi had been of Hao Tianyi today, she couldn't help but think about how he had favored Hao Tianyi and tormented her in the quiet of the night.

The more I think about it, the more unbalanced I feel.

Even she herself felt it was a bit pretentious.

She's getting married soon and has three kids, yet she's still jealous of a young girl?

Tossing and turning until midnight, Su Youling felt an even stronger urge to bite Li Tingxi!

Suddenly, the door opened.
