Chapter 175 A Major Battle
Wei Ning nodded and walked over to reassure her, "Don't worry, Auntie. We're all doing this for Lingling's safety."
Su Hong nodded and said distantly, "Xiao Li, thank you very much."
Li Tingxi felt uneasy.
His mother-in-law treated Wei Ning, an outsider, like her own son, but she seemed to be getting less and less close to him each day, and didn't even know he existed as her son-in-law.
"Take good care of Susu and Auntie." Li Tingxi clenched his fist, glanced coldly at Wei Ning, and said in an unfriendly tone, "Call me if anything happens."
Wei Ning "..."
The Great Demon King is angry again!
What did I do to deserve this?
...
When Grandpa Yin learned that Su Youling was injured, he immediately wanted to go to the hospital with Shi Yan to visit her. As soon as they stepped out, they saw Li Tingxi's car parked at the door.
"What are you doing here at this time?" Shi Yan looked at Li Tingxi with an unfriendly expression. Shouldn't he be guarding Lingling right now?
Sure enough, he didn't care about Lingling at all.
"Mr. Yin, Su Su was able to be rescued thanks to your help." Li Tingxi waved his hand, and Qin He took two valuable gift boxes from the back seat of the car and walked over.
Upon opening it, you'll find two rare antique teacups inside.
Old Master Yin had been secretly searching for it for a long time, but it is said that it was bought and treasured by an overseas collector.
Unexpectedly, it fell into Li Tingxi's hands.
"What is Mr. Li doing?" Old Master Yin's eyes flickered. "Lu Han provoked Su at my banquet and then secretly attacked her because of it. It is only right that I help her. There is no need for a thank-you gift."
"There are some things I'd like to discuss with you privately." Li Tingxi glanced at Shi Yan indifferently, a glance that conveyed disdain and indifference to Shi Yan.
A man like Li Tingxi is born to be at the pinnacle of humanity, inspiring both love and hate, envy and jealousy.
The higher Shi Yan climbs, the greater his hostility towards Li Tingxi becomes, and he can't wait to pull him down from his pedestal to prove his own superiority.
"Grandpa, Lingling is seriously injured. Let's go to the hospital first." Shi Yan gritted his teeth and looked at Li Tingxi. "President Li may not care about Lingling, but there are plenty of other people who do."
Li Tingxi looked at him coldly, his tone sarcastic, "My wife doesn't need anyone else's attention. Young Master Shi, save your excess love for your future wife, and stop thinking about my woman all the time."
"you……"
"Shi Yan, shut up." Old Master Yin interrupted the unwilling Shi Yan with a stern face. He looked at Li Tingxi for a while before slowly saying, "Mr. Li, please come to the study."
Shi Yan gritted his teeth as he watched Li Tingxi and his grandfather leave. He was a young businessman who had only gotten to where he was today thanks to the protection of the Li family, yet he was not inferior to his grandfather.
My maternal grandfather was a big shot who made the entire city of B tremble with fear; even he was afraid of him.
Li Tingxi... what exactly is it about him that allows him to put on such an arrogant and domineering attitude?
In the study.
The maid brought the tea and left, leaving only the old man and the young man in the quiet room filled with the fragrance of books. Although they were very different in age, they were equally composed and patient.
Only when the cup of tea was reduced to half full did Old Master Yin raise his head amidst the rising steam and ask calmly, "Young Master Li, just say what you have to say."
#Please do not use incognito mode whenever verification is required!
Li Tingxi put down his teacup, stood up, and handed a merger and acquisition plan to Old Master Yin. "Take a look at this."
Old Master Yin merely flipped through a page and glanced at it, without looking closely. "I'm getting old, and I've long since handed over the company's affairs to my subordinates. Shi Yan is slowly learning to handle things, so you can just ask him for help with these matters."
“You know you can’t beat the Lu family.” Li Tingxi ignored Old Master Yin’s evasive tactics. “The Lu family has touched my people, so this matter can’t be left like this. B City has long been the domain of the Yin family. The Li family has no intention of interfering. In order to repay Old Master Yin for his help to Su Su, I am willing to help the Yin family take down the Lu family free of charge.”
"You don't want the Lu family?" Old Master Yin was somewhat surprised.
As businessmen, we always prioritize profit.
At Li Tingxi's age, he never thought about anything other than expanding his business empire and constantly consolidating his power.
Marriage, love, children... are nothing more than channels for him to consolidate his power or pastimes in life.
Old Master Yin believed that even if time could be reversed forty years, he would not have acted like Li Tingxi, going to such lengths for a woman and not taking a single penny.
Instinctively, he felt that Li Tingxi was still plotting something behind the scenes, and he pondered for a long time without saying a word.
Li Tingxi wasn't in a hurry.
Old Master Yin is shrewd and calculating; he cannot act too hastily, otherwise he might easily expose his true intentions.
After a long while, Old Master Yin finished reading his plan and couldn't find a single flaw. It seemed that Li Tingxi really had come to deliver a 'big gift'.
“Young Master Li, at my age, I no longer care about these things. If I wanted to take over a mere Lu family, I wouldn’t need your help,” said Old Master Yin.
Li Tingxi smiled faintly, "Of course, I wasn't even born when you were making your mark in the business world. I wouldn't dare to show off my skills in front of Guan Yu. It's just a small token of my appreciation."
"You don't need to make it sound so high-sounding. Besides sending gifts to repay a debt of gratitude, you also want to completely crush the Lu family, don't you?" Old Master Yin exposed his thoughts.
The Lu family is, after all, a century-old family in B City with a huge fortune. If they really go to war, it won't be a matter of just a day or two. Although the Li family is at its peak and it's not impossible for them to take over the Lu family, it's not something that Li Tingxi can decide alone. Moreover, if the two families really fight, it will only be a case of the snipe and the clam fighting while the fisherman benefits.
More importantly, if Li Tingxi drags the Li family into a business war for Su Youling's sake, then Su Youling will undoubtedly become the target of public criticism.
"I didn't realize you were such a romantic." Old Master Yin narrowed his eyes, seemingly testing him. "Actually, Su's life isn't in danger. If you want revenge, just cripple Lu Han and cut off some of Lu's market share. That would be just the right amount of revenge. Going to great lengths is not worthwhile for either you or the Li family."
“Mr. Yin, there are always some people who are more important than interests.” Li Tingxi’s thin lips curled up, a bloodthirsty chill flashing in his eyes. “If someone in the Lu family can touch Su Su once, there’s no guarantee they won’t do it a second time.”
He didn't want to risk Su Youling any longer; he wanted to eliminate her completely.
not to mention……
Li Tingxi said, "If my investigation is correct, the person who drugged Su Su before was Lu Chennuan."
"What?" Old Master Yin's face suddenly darkened. "You've found evidence?"
After all, it happened right under his nose. If Lu Chennuan really did it, he wouldn't let it go unpunished.
