Chapter 357 This is not a place for you
Li Tingxi's face turned ashen, and the anger in his eyes reached its peak. "Shut up! Everyone has the right to scold her, but you have no right to do so."
It's true that the mother and son were estranged, and it's also true that they became enemies.
But he can distinguish right from wrong.
This insidious, cunning, and selfish man ruined the first half of his life and also ruined the life of that pitiful, hateful, and tragic woman!
He clenched his fist, almost losing control and throwing a punch, but Su Youling firmly grasped his hand. "Li Tingxi, don't be impulsive."
Li Tingxi was stunned for a moment, then quickly withdrew the force of his attack and staggered back a step before regaining his balance.
Even when he was extremely angry, he was always careful not to hurt Su Youling.
“He doesn’t deserve it.” Su Youling whispered a word of comfort, then stood up in front of Li Tingxi and looked down at the old man coldly. “Mr. Li, it’s nice to meet you. Let me introduce myself—Rebecca from the Strange Kingdom.”
"We're talking about family matters, what are you meddling for, an outsider?" Old Master Li coldly rebuked, his tone carrying the arrogant air of someone in a superior position.
“You’re getting old and your hearing isn’t good, I understand—Li Tingxi just said that I’m the lady of the house. In terms of closeness, you’re the outsider here.” Su Youling’s calm and composed demeanor caught Old Master Li’s attention.
The more he looked, the more intense the mockery in his eyes became.
His disdainful gaze swept over Su Youling and landed on Li Tingxi, as he said sarcastically, "After all these years, you haven't improved at all. All you know how to do is play this trick."
The netizens are right to criticize; aren't they tired of using the stunt double trope?
He quickly forgot the mistakes he had made with Su Youling in the past.
but……
This might be a starting point for dealing with Li Tingxi.
"After all these years, you're still as blind as ever, selfish and arrogant." Li Tingxi knew exactly what he was up to, but now he didn't care about any substitutes; he only had eyes for one person from beginning to end.

Su Su, one.
How could that arrogant old man, who had been so conceited his whole life, possibly understand his feelings?
It's better to say nothing than to waste time talking to a brick wall.
"You!" Old Master Li frowned, displeased.
In recent years, he has indeed become increasingly unable to control Li Tingxi, to the point that he regrets not having done everything in his power to protect Li Qidong.
Back then, Li Tingxi was too crazy, so crazy that he wanted to kill everyone who had troubled Su Youling. Even he couldn't help but feel wary of his madness.
Interfering too much might backfire and cost Li Qidong his life, which is why I indulged him this once.
This letting go led to Li Tingxi becoming increasingly dominant within the Li family and increasingly disregarding him.
If he doesn't get out and move around a bit, he'll think he's dead.
"Li Tingxi, women are just a pastime for when you're bored. If you continue to be as stubborn, immature, and emotional as before, you are not fit to run the Li family business," he warned coldly.
He thought he had done his best to maintain the proper demeanor and save face for his father.
Li Tingxi dismissed it with disdain.
"You think you're worthy? Three keys cost ten yuan each. How many keys do you think you're worthy of, old man?" Su Youling's eyes held just the right amount of contempt and mockery. "As Li Tingxi's biological father, he was burdened with the stigma of being an illegitimate child from birth, and even as an adult, he couldn't shake off that shadow."
"You stood by and watched Li Tingxi get soaked in the rain, and even encouraged him to do so. You are even more hateful than the instigator! Don't discuss whether you are worthy or not here. Doing so will only ruin your reputation and make you lose face."
This torrent of abuse, delivered with unbridled gusto and a touch of elegant shrewishness, completely captivated Li Tingxi.
I really want to give her a good kiss.
These two eyesores should leave.
On the other hand, Old Master Li was so angry that his face turned blue, but because of his superior status and the airs of an elder, he couldn't bring himself to lose face and lash out. He could only fum with anger.
"Truly, each generation is worse than the last. Look at the kind of women you've chosen!" Old Master Li felt that Rebecca's status was not worthy of his confrontation, so he turned to Li Tingxi and retorted, "Even if Shen Xiyue is not the best, at least she has some respect for the Li family. Su Youling is scheming and pretentious, but at least she knows how to be humble and respectful to her elders. What kind of substitute have you found now?"
"If you don't leave, I'll call security." Li Tingxi didn't bother with the stand-in issue and coldly looked at the old man. "You're so old, aren't you supposed to be concerned about your reputation? If this really blows up, you'll lose face, and the Li family's reputation will be ruined!"
Li Tingxi hit the nail on the head, striking at the old man's Achilles' heel: "You unfilial son! You...you're really something! This isn't over. Do you think those old guys on the board are easy to deal with? You've sent them in this time, so just wait for the backlash."
Unable to save face, he stood up with a cold look and walked out, saying, "You'll have your day when you need my help."
Li Tingxi didn't take it to heart. He grabbed Su Youling's hand and kissed her palm, eagerly expressing his surging emotions.
Su Youling glanced at him out of the corner of her eye and said, "There's one more."
Li Tingxi turned around and saw Karina looking hesitant, and immediately became displeased. "Why aren't you leaving yet? This is not a place for you in the first place."
“Tingxi, I’m with the old man…”
"No need to explain, I don't care about you."

"How close I am to the old man is none of my business. This is my territory, not his." Li Tingxi said coldly, "Karina, I've already asked Qin He to find a suitable overseas branch. Once Lele finishes this semester, you can take her and leave."
"Tingxi!" Karina was shocked and incredulous. She felt extremely embarrassed in front of Su Youling and felt utterly defeated.
He was as cold-blooded as ever, showing no mercy whatsoever.
In the past, she always thought that she had something special about her in front of him.
This unique aspect led her to deliberately present a facade of affection and intimacy between lovers, which resulted in the numerous scandals over the years.
But for her alone, the fake can never become the real thing.
Even though Rebecca was just a stand-in, merely carrying that woman's shadow, she still easily defeated her.
"Get out!" Li Tingxi said without any mercy.
No matter how pitifully she cried, no matter how deeply she played the emotional card...
At this point, he couldn't be soft-hearted, nor was there any need for him to.
Compared to Susu, nothing else matters.
"Rebecca, a girl as privileged as you, insisting on following him will only lead to regret!" Karina stomped her foot, glared at Su Youling, and ran out in tears.
The old man was still dozing in the car when he saw her running back crying. He wasn't surprised at all, and even looked down on her, calling her "useless."
Karina calmed herself down and said aggrievedly, "Tingxi's feelings for Su Youling are very deep and complicated. This Rebecca looks too much like her, so it's normal for Tingxi to be infatuated for a moment."
She retorted unwillingly, "Wasn't it the same when Tingxi used Su Youling as Shen Xiyue's stand-in? A stand-in is always just a stand-in; it can never amount to anything."
