Chapter 126 The whole world is hoping for his divorce
Su Youling's voice became dry with nervousness. "Xiao Li, what...what do you want to eat for breakfast?"
Li Tingxi was surprised that she would actually take the initiative to ask him what he wanted to eat, her attitude was completely different from how she had chased him away just now, and he couldn't help but look at Su Youling with suspicion.
Did he hear it or not, judging from his expression?
Su Youling's eyes flickered, forcing herself to remain calm, and stared intently at Li Tingxi. "We eat rather bland food, in case you're not used to it."
Su Hong realized that she had just lost control. She could hear the tension in Su Youling's voice. She thought that since both Xiao Li and Lingling came from Li's company, if they really knew the child's background, there might be trouble.
The fewer people who know about this, the better; she acted impulsively just now.
“Yes, Xiao Li, you young people generally have a stronger palate… Why don’t you two go eat at the company?” Su Hong nudged Su Youling. “Mom is fine, you don’t need to accompany me to ask for leave. Work is more important.”
Su Youling thought about it and decided that it would be safer to take Li Tingxi away now, otherwise her mother's emotions would be too easily out of control, and he might see through her.
"Then let's go back..."
Before he could finish speaking, Li Tingxi interrupted, "It's okay, I'm eating light food too."
He paused, looked at Su Youling, and thought of how she seemed about to vomit again. The doubt in his eyes deepened. "Speaking of which, Lingling's stomach has always been weak. I saw her vomit several times. She should eat a lighter diet."
Su Hong's fingers tightened slightly, and she subconsciously glanced at Su Youling. Could it be that Xiao Li had figured something out?
Su Youling also felt uneasy. It seemed that she had been vomiting too frequently, which made Li Tingxi suspicious. "It's okay, I'm almost better. As long as I don't get agitated, there's nothing to worry about."
Li Tingxi's face darkened. "..."
It means he provoked her!
Finally, the three of them went inside together, and Xiaolin was already preparing.

At breakfast, the aroma of food wafts from the kitchen, whetting the appetite.
Su Hong was restless, but she first sent Su Youling back to her room to get her things, and then she mustered her energy to talk to Li Tingxi, trying to find out about the president of the Li Group.
"Auntie, why did you suddenly ask about...our CEO?" Li Tingxi's eyes flickered. Su Youling had been hiding her identity from Su Hong, so why was she suddenly asking about this?
“I…I’m just worried. Our Lingling is so young, and she’s already the president of a subsidiary. What does President Li think she is so good at?” Su Hong looked worried, which dispelled some of Li Tingxi’s doubts.
Su Youling's rapid promotion is impossible for a normal person. For any company CEO, unless they start their own business or it is a family succession, it is a pipe dream to climb to the position of president in their twenties.
As a mother, it's normal to have such doubts.
“Auntie, you’re overthinking it,” Li Tingxi reassured her. “President Li is someone who values talent. President Su was able to be promoted from director to president so quickly because she is outstanding. Not only is she exceptional in management, but she also has superb pottery skills. The master craftsmen in our factory all praise her highly. She earned this position through her own abilities.”
Pottery?
Su Hong recalled that Su Youling had been learning to play with mud since she was a child from a strange old man in the village, and would often bring back some little trinkets that she had made herself. She never expected that these things could help her get a promotion now?
She smiled, then suddenly changed the subject, praising
"That's because your CEO Li has a keen eye for talent. I heard he's not very old, but he must be very capable to manage such a large business!"
Li Tingxi took it as a compliment to his son-in-law, and his mood brightened. Just as he was thinking about how to subtly enhance his role, Su Hong suddenly asked, "I heard he got divorced. Has he married a new wife yet?"
Li Tingxi "..."
You got caught up in the drama yourself!
Why did Li Tingxi's mother-in-law suddenly become concerned about his marriage? Who told her about the divorce?
Could it be Su Youling?
"Nonsense!" Li Tingxi said angrily. "Auntie, who is spreading this nonsense? Could it be that Su Youling is spreading rumors about President Li?"
"No... of course not." Su Hong was startled by his strong reaction and quickly explained, "Lingling rarely talks to me about work. I just... I'm worried about her, a girl working alone in the workplace... it's really not easy."
Seeing her hesitant expression, Li Tingxi's mind went blank for a moment, as if a sudden enlightenment had been achieved.
Su Hong suspects that Su Youling was sexually harassed by the boss because her daughter's promotion was too fast.
Li Tingxi's face turned from dark to pale, unsure of what expression to make. Seeing her panicked expression, as if she feared he would complain, he could only suppress his anger and reassure her, "Auntie, you're overthinking it. Mr. Li is a gentleman, and he and Mrs. Li have always been very loving since their marriage. The recent rumors about their divorce are just an attempt to damage his career; they're not true at all."
Su Hong was stunned for a moment, then became even more worried. "They're not divorced..."
Li Tingxi "..."
What a regretful tone!
Why is the whole world hoping he gets a divorce?
#Please do not use incognito mode whenever verification is required!
Especially Su Youling herself!
Su Hong never leaves the house, so Xiao Lin couldn't possibly tell her these things. The divorce was probably something Su Youling made up, probably to give Su Hong a heads-up.
She was still thinking about running away!
Li Tingxi suddenly stood up, startling Su Hong. "Little Li, what's wrong?"
"Auntie, I'm sorry, I startled you." Li Tingxi tried to soften his tone. "I suddenly remembered that I need to talk to Su Youling about some work. Please sit for a while, I'll go find her."
Su Hong nodded, preoccupied with the fact that Li Tingxi and Su Youling were still married, so she didn't ask any further questions.
Li Tingxi turned and walked towards Su Youling's room, his steps tinged with anger, but he tried his best not to make a loud noise. He angrily pushed open the door, "Su—"
He paused, watching Su Youling swallow her pills while holding a water glass. When she saw him, she coughed in a panic and vomited up all the pills.
"Cough cough..." Su Youling coughed desperately, questioning, "Why didn't you knock? This is my house, don't you know any manners?"
Li Tingxi's eyes turned cold. He looked down at the pills on the ground and the furious Su Youling. He strode over and looked down at her. "Su Youling, what kind of medicine are you taking? Why do you look so guilty when you see me?"
A series of oddities, including Su's mother's sudden question, made Li Tingxi's suspicions grow stronger.
"I... I took some stomach medicine!" Su Youling calmly put the medicine away, stood up, and tried to lead the person out. "Don't be so suspicious. If my mother notices anything, you'd better leave now."
Li Tingxi remained motionless, pressing on Su Youling's shoulder as he questioned, "Just now, your mother asked me if Li Tingxi had married a new wife?"
