Chapter 206 Who's Your Wife?
The cooperation was almost finalized, and he was ready to travel abroad in a couple of days to personally meet with the person in charge and sign the contract.
Unexpectedly, the head of the overseas company changed his mind at the last minute, bluntly stating that the Li family was currently embroiled in a public opinion storm, and that if the two parties reached a cooperation agreement, it would indirectly have a negative impact on their company.
The problem is that Li Tingxi had anticipated this before the official announcement of the divorce and had spent a lot of effort blocking overseas media from obtaining the news. He only needed to quell the domestic public opinion storm during this period to minimize the losses.
However, he ultimately underestimated Li Fengmin's ruthlessness and heartlessness.
Shortly after learning that the overseas company had abandoned its cooperation with the Li family, Li Qidong couldn't wait to call and boast to Li Tingxi that Donglin had reached a cooperation agreement with the overseas company.
Li Tingxi didn't even have to say a word before he learned the truth from Li Qidong, all thanks to Li Fengmin's behind-the-scenes manipulation.
"Li Tingxi, you don't really think you've secured your position as president of the Li Group, do you? Isn't the truth obvious enough? In his heart, I'm still the top priority. As for you, you're just doing all the work for me. In fact, I should thank you."
Li Tingxi narrowed his eyes dangerously. "Li Qidong, you have such a big appetite. Don't you think you can really swallow such a big pie?"
Li Qidong was convinced that he was putting on a brave face, and chuckled sarcastically, "You underestimate me too much, Li Tingxi. I used to think you were smart, but I never expected you to be such a fool. You actually divorced Shen Xiyue. Has your brain been filled with water?"
“If I were you, I would kneel down and kowtow to Dad to admit my mistake, and then obediently coax Shen Xiyue back to remarry. Don’t say I didn’t warn you, you never had much of a place in Dad’s heart to begin with. Don’t end up making him so angry that he kicks you out of the Li family. At that point, your mother probably won’t even acknowledge you as her son anymore.”
Hearing the arrogant and triumphant laughter on the other end of the phone, Li Tingxi's eyes flashed with a violent murderous intent. "Li Qidong, being stupid and unaware of your own stupidity is the most pathetic thing. Not everyone is as spineless as you, relying on groveling to get by. You'd better hold onto this piece of cake, or it will be snatched away by some wild dog before you can even swallow it."
Li Qidong instantly flew into a rage: "Who the hell are you calling a dog?"
Li Tingxi was too lazy to listen to his rant anymore and pressed the hang-up button without hesitation.
He unconsciously raised his hand and inadvertently touched the wound on his forehead. Li Fengmin's violent gaze, as if looking at an enemy, reappeared before his eyes.
A sarcastic smile unconsciously crept onto Li Tingxi's lips, and the cold light in his eyes almost turned into a sharp sword.
Li Fengmin, that was a brilliant move to intimidate, but unfortunately... you don't understand me at all. The thing I fear least is threats.
The sudden knock on the door pulled Li Tingxi back to his senses. He looked at Qin He at the door, his cold gaze still lingering. "What is it?"
Qin He sensed the oppressive atmosphere around him, felt a chill run down her spine, and didn't dare to look him in the eye. She walked over and placed the medicine she had bought on his desk.
Feeling Li Tingxi's gaze, which seemed almost tangible, he looked up and forced a smile, saying, "These were bought by my wife."
Li Tingxi frowned, and he immediately backed down, quickly explaining, "I didn't tell Madam, she guessed it herself."
As he spoke, he quickly recited the instructions Su Youling had given him.
#Please do not use incognito mode whenever verification is required!
She repeated everything to Li Tingxi without missing a single word, and even recited the food list that Su Youling had compiled.
He was good at drawing inferences from one instance to another, and he also added fuel to the fire by expressing Su Youling's worry and heartache after learning that Li Tingxi was injured.
Li Tingxi's tightly furrowed brows relaxed as he picked up the medicine box on the table. He could almost picture Su Youling nagging and worrying as she instructed Qin He. A smile unconsciously crept onto his face, and his gaze softened.
Qin He had been observing his expression, and upon seeing this, he breathed a sigh of relief without making a sound.
Sure enough, it still required the wife to take action.
"Okay, you can go now."
Li Tingxi couldn't wait a moment longer and immediately called Su Youling.
Before he could speak, Su Youling launched into a tirade, "Li Tingxi, is it that I didn't notice? You didn't tell me even after you recovered from your injury? Didn't I just tell you? I hate it when you act on your own initiative..."
She chattered on and on for a while, then realized that Li Tingxi hadn't said a word, and panicked a little. "Li Tingxi, are you alright?"
Li Tingxi immediately replied, "I'm here."
"Are you deliberately pretending to be deaf and dumb? Do you believe I'll back out right now and fly back to City A?"
Li Tingxi imagined her fierce yet cowardly expression at this moment, and the smile in his eyes deepened. He accepted all her complaints. "I have received your concern. I will take the medicine seriously as you instructed. As for the diet list you tailored for me, I will have the nanny arrange it immediately."
Su Youling snorted twice, "Don't think that you can easily turn the page on this by doing this."
"So how do you want me to apologize? Hmm? Wife." Li Tingxi's voice unconsciously carried a hint of coaxing.
Su Youling reacted strongly, spitting out, "Shameless! Who's your wife?"
Li Tingxi conceded a step, "That is my fiancée."
Like a kitten whose tail has been stepped on, Su Youling quickly denied it, saying, "I only said I'd think about it, I didn't agree. Don't push your luck."
Seeing that he had successfully diverted her attention, Li Tingxi said seriously, "I have found some clues about that person named Zhao She. He was instructed by Zhao Xinning to deliberately cause trouble."
Su Youling was stunned for a moment, because she hadn't heard this name in so long that she had almost forgotten that such a person existed. "What exactly does Zhao Xinning want?"
Li Tingxi frowned, his tone serious. "The people I sent to track Zhao She had already found her whereabouts, but we alerted her and Zhao Xinning escaped. We haven't found her yet. Anyway, be careful."
Su Youling knew he was busy and didn't want him to worry, so she said, "Don't worry, with the bodyguards you arranged, there shouldn't be any problems."
She was about to hang up after she finished speaking.
Li Tingxi called out to her, his voice a little hoarse, "Didn't you want to see me before? Now I'll show you."
Su Youling was so flustered by his deliberately ambiguous words that she stammered, "Who...who wants to see you?"
"You're just saying that." Li Tingxi raised an eyebrow and sent a video call request.
The next second, he was ruthlessly rejected by Su Youling.
"I already said I didn't want to see you, Li Tingxi, how can you be so shameless?"
Li Tingxi readily accepted the offer, changing his tune to, "I just wanted to see you, is that alright?"
