Chapter 366 Apology
The atmosphere was tense.
The surroundings suddenly fell silent, and everyone's hearts pounded with anxiety.
Everyone is supporting his mistress, so why is he angry?
"Wife." Li Tingxi impatiently pushed aside President Li and Karina, strode up to Su Youling, and his dark, cold eyes instantly turned into puppy-dog eyes. "I swear, Karina is just a colleague! What damn mistress? That's all nonsense from a bunch of idiots who have nothing better to do. I'm absolutely innocent!"
"Who is your wife?" Su Youling pulled her hand away and looked at the dazed Karina. "That one is the one everyone recognizes as Mrs. Li."
Karina staggered in fright, her face trembling slightly.
It’s over!
Li Tingxi is going to publicly execute her.
The ambiguous image she has painstakingly maintained for so many years is about to be destroyed today.
Without the ambiguous identity card of 'future Mrs. Li,' the entire interest structure will collapse in an instant.
"Tingxi, I'm sorry." Karina stepped forward and apologized with tears in her eyes. "Mr. Li may have had too much to drink today, and he had a little conflict with Miss Rebecca. I just wanted to mediate so that Rebecca wouldn't suffer any losses, but I didn't expect it to backfire and cause everyone to misunderstand."
She believed her words were flawless and sincere, emphasizing her innocence and kindness, and trying to steer the conversation away from the ambiguous topic of "Mrs. Li".
In the past, even if Li Tingxi felt guilty towards her and was dissatisfied with some of her ambiguous actions, he would not embarrass her in public.
At most, they would simply withdraw indifferently and suppress the rumors in secret.
Afterwards, she would feign pitifulness and loyalty to her ex, and each time she would cry and plead until Li Tingxi softened.
This time, she poured all her emotions into the performance, and the men in the audience couldn't help but feel sorry for her and whispered their sympathy for her.
At least on the surface, Karina was indeed an innocent victim in the farce that just happened.
However--

"What misunderstanding? Are you my secret lover?" Li Tingxi looked at her innocent expression and pitiful eyes. His heart softened for a moment, but it was quickly replaced by reason.
He immediately understood Su Su's intention in calling him.
In front of his wife, feelings of guilt immediately take a backseat.
Moreover, Karina's actions have indeed become increasingly out of line lately.
"My treatment of you is no different from my treatment of Qin He. I have never done anything that crossed the line. Why are there such bizarre rumors circulating outside?" Li Tingxi looked down at Karina indifferently. "How many times have you heard such ridiculous rumors, and how many times have you explained them?"
Everyone was speechless.
What happened?
Karina repeatedly hinted in public that she had a close relationship with Li Tingxi, but the person she was dating was completely unaware of and didn't care about it.
Did all the onlookers get nothing out of it?
"No, I didn't..." Karina's face turned pale, and her breathing became tense and rapid. Under Li Tingxi's sharp gaze, she had no choice but to lower her head and admit, "I never said that there was any ambiguity between you and me. Everyone just misunderstood."
Everyone frowned, then immediately understood.
The manipulative woman was caught lying by the person she was supposed to be with, and things went awry.
Instead of blaming the onlookers for being brainless and blindly following the trend, why don't we just blame them for being mindless and blindly following the trend?
"A misunderstanding?" Mr. Li listened for a long time, completely bewildered. His gaze darted between the three of them before he finally understood. "Kalina, you yesterday—"
In his excitement, he rushed over and grabbed Karina's shoulders, shaking her violently.
"Mr. Li, I know Miss Rebecca is here today..."
"I've embarrassed you, but Tingxi is still here, so don't get agitated..." Karina's eyes flashed, and suddenly she twisted her ankle and crashed into the corner of the table, looking as if she had been knocked down by President Li.
"She's bleeding! She's passed out! She hit her head and got a huge gash." Someone exclaimed, and the scene immediately descended into chaos.
Mr. Li was at a loss, his head buzzing with anger. "I didn't push her, what are you doing? Trying to scam me? That bitch must have bumped into me!"
He tried to rush up and kick her again, but Li Tingxi grabbed him by the collar and threw him out hard, sending him crashing into the corner of the wall and knocking over a bunch of tables and chairs.
What a commotion!
President Li is obese and had just been up to his usual routine for half a day, so he was already exhausted.
After being thrown like that, he was panting heavily and couldn't get up for a long time.
"Li Tingxi! You... what's so great about you? You were completely fooled by two women, and you even groveled over a foreigner, utterly disgracing any man." President Li, utterly humiliated, feigned both cowardice and bravado. "With so many people around, let's see what you can do to me!"
"Foreign devil?" Li Tingxi's eyes flashed, and without hesitation, he went up and kicked him in the chest. "No matter who it is, they must apologize to Rebecca today."
He said sternly, "Every second you wait, you'll get kicked again."
"I'll tell you your mother—ah!" Just as Mr. Li opened his mouth, he was kicked several more times, feeling as if his bones were about to break, and his face turned pale with pain.
Li Tingxi's face was terrifying, his expression cold and ruthless, like a merciless fighting machine, and President Li was just a punching bag under his feet.
This scene is terrifying!
No one dared to approach, and no one dared to break up the fight.
"Mr. Li, calm down, don't let this get to someone's death." Ding Muyan walked over, called an ambulance, and sent someone to treat Karina's injuries.

"Mr. Li is just a bit sharp-tongued, you don't need to make such a fuss."
Li Tingxi ignored him completely, showing him no respect whatsoever, and coldly stared at the half-dead CEO Li, demanding an apology.
Like a wolf that bites its prey and won't let go, no one can take the food from its mouth.
"I...it hurts...let go." Mr. Li had no way to express his suffering.
It's not that he doesn't want to apologize.
The living Yama should loosen his grip on Death's foot.
His chest ached as if it were being stabbed with needles, as if a huge weight was pressing down on him. He was lucky to even be able to breathe; he couldn't utter a single word.
"Li Tingxi, that's enough." Su Youling frowned, unable to bear it any longer, and walked over to grab Li Tingxi's arm. "You want to go to jail for causing someone's death? Are you going crazy again?"
Li Tingxi released his foot, grasped Su Youling's hand in return, and continued to look at President Li, "apologizing."
"I'm sorry, I was wrong! I was being mean! I shouldn't have insulted Mrs. Li." Mr. Li was so frightened that he raised his hand and slapped himself hard across the mouth, making his lips look like sausages. "Please, gentlemen, don't hold a grudge against me."
Su Youling couldn't bear to watch and felt no sympathy. "Forget it, why bother arguing with someone like this?"
“This kind of person really doesn’t deserve to be your investor.” Li Tingxi glanced sideways at the equally disheveled CEO Li. “What do you think?”
"I'm not worthy! I'm withdrawing my investment! I'm leaving immediately!" Mr. Li got up, covered his face, and ran out as if a ghost was chasing him.
Ding Muyan clicked his tongue and said, "President Li, you're so powerful. You lost an investor with just a few words. I'm afraid my art exhibition is doomed sooner or later."
"You've made such a mess of an art exhibition bidding process. Your abilities are really mediocre," Li Tingxi said sarcastically. "It's normal that the art exhibition couldn't be saved."
