Chapter 237 Mother-Son Standoff
After leaving, Li Tingxi went straight to the company.
Although he spends most of his time at the hospital with Su Youling these days, he still goes to the company every day without fail.
Some projects required his personal attention, and another reason was the impact of the divorce scandal, which was also to stabilize public sentiment.
However, coming to the company today was clearly a mistake.
As Li Tingxi stepped out of the president's private elevator, he turned a corner and saw his mother pacing around outside his office. He immediately frowned.
He glanced at Qin He behind him, his eyes narrowing dangerously. "Why didn't anyone notify me?"
The head of the company was already striding aggressively towards him in her high heels. "Why did I notify you? So you can avoid me? You really are my good son. I can't even enter your office. Where do you expect me, the dignified wife of the chairman, to put my face?"
Li Tingxi glanced at her indifferently: "Do you know the reason?"
His mother's face grew even uglier after he retorted like that. She stepped forward and kept poking his arm with her handbag. "Where have you been all these days? I've been to the Li mansion once and haven't seen you once. If I hadn't come to the company to wait for you, were you planning to never see your mother again for the rest of your life? Huh?"
Li Tingxi's face darkened, and he pressed her hand down, walking straight into his office. "What do you want from me?"
Mother Li quickly followed, slammed her bag onto the desk, and adopted a questioning stance: "Don't play dumb with me. I'm asking you, how exactly do you plan to resolve Su Youling's matter? She's already cheated on you, and she's pregnant with an illegitimate child. Don't tell me you're thinking of marrying such a shameless woman!"
"And the blind dates I arranged for you, weren't they all exceptional young ladies from prestigious families? You didn't show up for a single one. Your father and I assured you time and again, and this is how you slapped me in the face?"
Li Tingxi's eyes suddenly darkened.
Qin He's investigation results were not yet available, and he did not want to confront Li's mother like this. No matter what the truth was, the child was already gone, and he had to at least protect Su Youling's reputation.
Thinking of this, Li Tingxi immediately rebuked her sharply: "Mom, you can eat whatever you want, but you can't say whatever you want. Su Su is not pregnant at all, and she and Shi Yan are completely innocent. Where did this talk of me being cheated on come from? As for blind dates, it has always been one-sided between you and Li Fengmin."
"Not pregnant? How is that possible!" Li's mother looked at his calm expression in disbelief. "You've already read all the information I gave you."
Li Tingxi glanced at her calmly. "It's normal for hospitals to misdiagnose people. There are many people in the world with the same name. I accompanied Su Su for a full-body checkup. I know best whether she's pregnant or not. Mom, before you try to smear Su Su, you should at least investigate properly."
Li's mother's face turned ashen, and she even began to doubt whether she had made a mistake. However, she quickly dismissed the idea. What a coincidence! Why would Su Youling go to an obstetrics and gynecology clinic if she wasn't pregnant?
"Li Tingxi, do you think you can fool me with this?"
Seeing that she was still going to press the issue, Li Tingxi narrowed his eyes dangerously. "Mom, I advise you to stop now. Don't think I don't know what you've been doing behind Li Fengmin's back. With Zhao Fu's example as a warning, I think you should be more restrained."
He leaned close to Li's mother's ear and whispered a name. Seeing her face turn deathly pale, he scoffed, "I only turn a blind eye because you're my mother, but if you continue to target Su Su like this, I don't mind letting Li Fengmin know that his wife..."

Just how ambitious is he?
Li's mother looked wary, but in the end, she still dared not say anything bad about Su Youling.
Li Tingxi raised an eyebrow and told Qin He to send the person away.
Even after leaving the Li family compound, Li's mother was still very unwilling. "What kind of spell did that vixen Su Youling cast on my son?"
Which man could tolerate his woman cheating on him? But Li Tingxi not only tolerated it, but went to such lengths for Su Youling, even not caring that she was pregnant with his illegitimate child.
If Li Tingxi can threaten her now for Su Youling's sake, wouldn't Su Youling really be able to step on her head and act arrogantly if she really married into the Li family?
No, we must get rid of Su Youling!
But Li Tingxi protected her so tightly that she couldn't get close at all.
While suffering from a headache, Madam Li suddenly thought of Mr. and Mrs. Shen and instantly came up with a plan...
After Qin He returned from seeing off his mother, Li Tingxi called him in with a very serious expression: "Su Hong must not find out about Su Su's matter. Also, send more people to ensure Su Hong's safety."
This is something he just suddenly remembered.
Su Youling values her adoptive mother, Su Hong, the most. If Su Hong finds out that she has lost her child, she will definitely rush back to City A without hesitation, and things will only become more complicated.
"The hospital is keeping all good news under wraps. We absolutely cannot let any rumors about Su Su leak out. Also, my mother has sent people to keep a close eye on her so she doesn't cause any more trouble."
...
This is a private hospital.
Wearing a white coat and a mask, Li Mufeng showed his name tag to the bodyguard at the door before entering Su Youling's ward with his equally heavily covered assistant.
As soon as the door closed, Su Youling recognized him and immediately got out of bed.
Li Mufeng first drew the curtains, and then he and his assistant behind him took off their masks.
"Wei Ning!" Su Youling was both surprised and delighted. After Wei Ning approached the bedside, she couldn't help but punch him and complain, "If I hadn't asked Li Mufeng to help me, would you have even planned to come to me?"
Wei Ning looked wronged. "I wanted to come find you, but Li Tingxi has been keeping an eye on me. I had no choice."
Su Youling sneered upon hearing this.
Li Tingxi sent people to monitor Wei Ning because he was afraid she would escape.
Unfortunately, he could only guard against it for a while, not forever.
Wei Ning had already heard Li Mufeng recount the general events on the way here, and seeing Su Youling's reaction, he instantly understood, "It seems you've really made up your mind this time."
"Otherwise what? Wait for him to find out that the child in my belly is still alive, and then torture me again?" Su Youling's eyes surged with hatred, but her gaze softened when she touched her lower abdomen.
Wei Ning sat down beside the hospital bed, looked at her and then at Li Mufeng: "Tell me your plan. I will provide technical support and fully cooperate."
Li Mufeng and Su Youling exchanged a glance, then told Wei Ning about the hospital route they had figured out over the past few days. The three of them then discussed their escape plan together.
After half an hour of discussion, the plan was almost finalized, but Wei Ning still needed to add a few details.
Just then, a series of footsteps suddenly came from afar outside.
Su Youling and the other two felt a sudden jolt in their hearts.
