Chapter 121 You've Hurt Her
Li Tingxi's face darkened.
What secrets does the Yin family have that they would make their residence look like an iron barrel, as if it were filled with a dangerous and uncontrollable atmosphere?
Zhao Fu wouldn't be so kind as to give such a precious electronic invitation to Su Youling.
Su Youling absolutely cannot be allowed to go into this place alone!
"Think of another way." Li Tingxi gave the order, and Qin He had no choice but to comply. "The banquet is tomorrow night, and there might not be enough time. Actually, we can ask Young Master Li for help. He's a top hacker and can create a fake identity for you to briefly hack into the Yin family's security system."
Li Mufeng?
Thinking of their unpleasant conversation, Li Tingxi's face darkened.
"Need not!"
If Li Mufeng finds out about Su Youling's whereabouts, he'll probably start plotting something again.
Thinking about this made him angry.
Su Youling is truly a magnet for attention; wherever she goes, men are captivated by her. Why did he ever think that this substitute couldn't live without him?
After sending Qin He away to find a solution, Li Tingxi irritably took off his coat and threw it on the sofa. His mind wandered uncontrollably to the passionate traces he and Su Youling had left in various corners of the Li Mansion, in the car, and in the hotel...
The more he thought about it, the less he could control himself. Li Tingxi just wanted to take a shower to calm down. He opened the door to the hotel suite bedroom, but heard the sound of running water coming from the bathroom inside.
Only Su Youling knows the hotel room number!
Li Tingxi's spirits lifted. Why did she suddenly come over? And she was even taking a shower in his bathroom. Was this Su Youling's new way of showing weakness?
Lu Tingdong then thought it was impossible; this didn't seem like Su Youling's personality.
She's such a stubborn woman that it makes you want to grind your teeth.
Even if they back down, it must be because they want something from someone.
Could it be about the Yin family's charity gala?
With Su Youling's intelligence and keen insight, she must have guessed that the electronic invitation Zhao Fu gave her was not so simple, and that she had come to discuss it with her.
Having given himself a reason to explain his past, Li Tingxi couldn't help but feel hopeful. He opened the bathroom door with a smile, "Su Su, you..."
Before he could finish speaking, his smile froze on his lips, and his expression turned cold inch by inch.
Li Tingxi abruptly turned and left the bathroom, shouting into the bathroom without looking back, "Put on your clothes and get out!"
After a while, a rustling sound came from inside.
A woman walked over wearing a deep V-neck nightgown, her hair still wet and dripping with water. Glistening water droplets trickled down her delicate cheeks to her chin, dripping onto her sexy and alluring collarbone, leaving ambiguous water marks in the middle of her deep V-neck cleavage, sparking the imagination.
"Tingxi!" The sweet, soft voice was enough to make any man's bones melt instantly, but Li Tingxi remained unmoved, coldly questioning, "How did you get here? Who let you in?"
"I came to find you." Lin Lexi was startled, staring in astonishment at Li Tingxi's cold attitude. She nervously clutched the corner of her pajamas, subtly lifting her thigh to reveal her surprise.
"I asked—how did you get in?" Li Tingxi suddenly grabbed her wrist and dragged her out. "Get out!"
"Tingxi, let go! You're hurting me." Lin Lexi, forgetting all about coquettishness, threw herself into Li Tingxi's arms, hugging his waist tightly and crying, "I haven't seen you in so long! I thought you came to B City on business with the chairman's wife..."

This time I'm here as the lady's assistant.
Since Shen Xiyue returned, after their separation at the hospital, Li Tingxi has never spent time alone with her again. He is either at the hospital, at the company, or away on business trips for several days at a time.
After Li Tingxi transferred her to the design department, it seemed as if he had completely forgotten about her. Even at the company, the two of them could not see each other without his orders.
The people in the design department were prejudiced against her and often gave her attitude. Knowing that she hadn't seen Li Tingxi for a long time, many of them started to mock and belittle her...
She desperately wanted to see Li Tingxi, and even considered using Shen Xiyue and Su Youling's identities to threaten him into meeting her.
But later she learned of Li Qidong's fate. He was the first person to question Shen Xiyue's true identity, and he was also the former crown prince of the Li family. Now he was being bullied by Li Tingxi and had no chance to fight back.
She chickened out and didn't dare to do anything!
Fortunately, she met Li Tingxi's mother and got a chance to return to Li Tingxi's side.
Tonight, she specially put on a "beauty emerging from the bath" makeup, dyed her hair back to the same black as Shen Xiyue's, and even added a few more sickly looks to make herself look more like the sick Shen Xiyue, a frail and pitiful beauty.
But I never expected Li Tingxi's attitude to change so drastically!
All the tenderness and indulgence he had shown her in the past had vanished like smoke, leaving her feeling utterly uncomfortable.
Li Tingxi coldly pulled the person away, frowning, "Did my mother send you?"
Lin Lexi bit her lip and said pitifully, "Madam knows about our relationship. She said you've been working too hard lately and can't do without someone to take care of you, so she specially brought me here."
"What's our relationship?" Li Tingxi warned coldly. "I transferred you to the design department. It seems you still haven't thought this through."
Lin Lexi bit her lip and casually tossed her hair. "Tingxi, Madam thinks Miss Su is a ticking time bomb, which is why she sent me here. She's just worried that this matter might be used by someone with ulterior motives and cause you trouble. With me by your side, it's like having someone to cover for you."
“No need!” Li Tingxi looked at the woman in front of him who was striking a seductive pose.
Although she still possessed that pure and noble style mixed with sexy allure, he could no longer find any trace of Shen Xiyue in her.
I just felt that this person was pretentious and full of scheming.
How could he have thought that Lin Lexi's temperament was so similar to Shen Xiyue's before?
Although there is deliberate imitation in every gesture and the jewelry design style is exactly the same, the imitation is too strong and it loses its authenticity.
Moreover, even if Shen Xiyue herself appeared before him now, he knew he couldn't recapture that simple appreciation for beauty he once had.
"Get out!" Li Tingxi pointed to the door, his face ruthless. "If you don't want to leave the Li family, then go back now and don't get involved in my affairs anymore!"
Lin Lexi's dreams collapsed instantly, as if she had witnessed her dream of marrying into a wealthy family shatter. Resentment and bitterness surged up within her.
She was not convinced!
She spent two whole years diligently following in Shen Xiyue's footsteps, learning her every move, studying jewelry design and rigidly imitating her style, even dressing in a way that she didn't like but that was very similar to Shen Xiyue's...
She put in so much effort, meticulously planning to appear in front of Li Tingxi seemingly by chance while he was away on a business trip abroad, scheming step by step to get close to him, and finally earning a place in his life.
