Chapter 227 Slander
"Chen Xiyue! Stop talking." Li Tingxi was speechless for a moment, but the matter between him and Su Youling was none of anyone else's business.
Shen Xiyue's words were like adding fuel to the fire. There was clearly nothing between them, but by taking the blame upon herself, she only deepened the misunderstanding.
As expected, Su Youling's expression grew increasingly grim.
“Hit you? How could Li Tingxi bear to let me hit you, you fragile porcelain doll?” Su Youling glanced at Shen Xiyue with a half-smile, then turned to Li Tingxi with particularly cold eyes. “Li Tingxi, why don’t you just tell me straight now, do you still have feelings for her?”
"If you just nod your head, I'll consider all your previous promises as bullshit, and we'll settle things right now, so I can grant you both your wish!"
Li Tingxi didn't expect her to say something so serious, and immediately frowned, anxious to calm her down first. "Su Su, my relationship with Shen Xiyue is not what you think at all. Calm down first, and I will explain it to you slowly."
After he finished speaking, he handed the thermos to Shen Xiyue, saying, "This matter has nothing to do with you. I'll have the nurse take you back to your ward first."
Shen Xiyue lowered her eyelashes slightly, concealing the darkness in her eyes, and nodded obediently.
At Li Tingxi's signal, a nurse nearby came over to take the wheelchair.
Originally watching the show from the sidelines, Shen's mother suddenly became anxious. She rushed over to stop the nurse, pressed down on the wheelchair to prevent her from moving, and then glared at Li Tingxi, "How can it have nothing to do with Yueyue? Li Tingxi, if we really want to talk about it, we should be the ones demanding an explanation from you."
She glanced at Su Youling with a hostile expression, "If it weren't for her, you wouldn't have divorced my Yueyue."
Su Youling's face turned pale, and her knuckles turned white from gripping her hands so tightly at her sides.
The commotion had already attracted a crowd of onlookers, and the strange looks they cast made her feel like she was sitting on pins and needles.
Seeing her reaction, Li Tingxi felt heartbroken and immediately growled at Chen's mother, his eyes filled with warning, "Enough! I said, take Chen Xiyue back to the ward first."
Startled, Chen's mother shrank back, but then remembered the purpose of her long journey and retorted, "Which part of me wasn't the truth? If we really left, it would make us look guilty."
Seeing that Li Tingxi was on the verge of exploding with rage, Shen Xiyue quickly tugged at her mother's sleeve, "Mom, stop talking. Just listen to Tingxi and take me back to my ward. Don't make things difficult for him."
Su Youling suddenly felt like laughing.
Her mother's words did not break her defenses; on the contrary, Shen Xiyue's light and understanding words made her feel sour and uncomfortable.
Li Tingxi clearly saw the sarcasm in her eyes, which made him even more agitated and anxious.
Under Shen Xiyue's persuasion, Shen's mother reluctantly pushed Shen Xiyue to leave.
As she passed by Su Youling, Shen Xiyue stopped her and then unexpectedly grabbed Su Youling's hand.
“Lingling, I never intended to hurt you, so…”
The moment Shen Xiyue's hand touched Su Youling, Su Youling instinctively frowned in disgust and almost reflexively shook off her hand.
However, the next second, Shen Xiyue fell to the ground in a very disheveled position, her unfinished words turning into a painful scream.
Su Youling froze on the spot, looking at Shen Xiyue on the ground with a complicated expression, and then at her own hands.

She didn't even use any force, so how could Shen Xiyue have fallen down so easily?
Li Tingxi's expression changed, and he immediately ran over and picked the person up in his arms.
Shen Xiyue's thin body curled up in his arms, her small face contorted in pain, and a fine layer of sweat beaded on her forehead.
Li Tingxi carefully lifted her back into the wheelchair and asked her where she had fallen.
Shen's mother also nervously moved closer, wanting to touch her but not daring to, and her eyes immediately reddened.
Shen Xiyue just kept shaking her head, biting her lip and not saying a word, but her pale face didn't look like she was alright at all.
Su Youling watched Li Tingxi squatting nervously at her feet, like an outsider.
Just then, Shen's mother suddenly rushed towards her with a fierce look in her eyes. She grabbed her by the collar with one hand and pulled her hair hard with the other, cursing, "You heartless little bitch! My daughter has been so tolerant of you, and you not only don't know how to be grateful, but you actually did this. Do you know that you are trying to murder me?"
Upon seeing this, Li Tingxi's expression changed. He tried to get up and pull away Shen's mother, but Shen Xiyue grabbed him.
"Tingxi, it hurts."
Li Tingxi glanced at her leg, sighed, and immediately called the doctor to come over.
Meanwhile, the mother of the dragon went berserk, tearing and wrestling at Su Youling.
Su Youling had been protecting herself with her arms without fighting back until a sharp pain shot through her lower abdomen.
Seeing that her mother was getting increasingly violent, she worried that the baby in her womb would be hurt. Unable to bear it any longer, she grabbed her mother's wrist and slapped her hard.
The mother was stunned by the slap. After regaining her senses, she stared at Su Youling in disbelief, her slightly bulging eyes seeming to spit fire. "First you pushed my daughter down, and now you hit me too. Su Youling, do you really think that just because Li Tingxi is backing you up, you can act lawlessly and bully my daughter and me at will?"
They didn't mention at all that she was the one who started it.
Su Youling wanted to cover her lower abdomen but was afraid that Li Tingxi would notice something was wrong, so she could only endure the pain. Her face grew increasingly ugly. "If I don't fight back, am I supposed to just stand there and let you hit me? Besides, which eye of yours saw me push Shen Xiyue down?"
As she spoke, her gaze swept like a sharp sword over Shen Xiyue, who was holding onto Li Tingxi's hand and refusing to let go. She coldly questioned her, "Shen Xiyue, tell me, did I push you?"
Shen Xiyue's already pale face turned even paler, seemingly intimidated by Su Youling's aggressive and domineering manner. She shook her head while crying, "It's all my fault, it was my own... I was careless, please stop arguing..."
Before she could finish speaking, her crying stopped abruptly, and she fainted.
Li Tingxi instinctively caught her.
"Yueyue!" Mother Shen exclaimed in shock upon seeing this, rushing over to cup Shen Xiyue's face in her hands, tears streaming down her face with heartache. "If anything happens to you, I don't want to live anymore."
In contrast, Su Youling, who was watching coldly from a distance, appeared particularly arrogant.
The sound of Shen's mother wailing and lamenting filled his ears, and Li Tingxi's temples throbbed, his tightly furrowed brows never relaxing.
He was exhausted and couldn't help but look at Su Youling.
In Su Youling's eyes, his expression was undoubtedly one of dissatisfaction and questioning regarding her "hurt" of Shen Xiyue.
