Chapter 422 Double Tomb
City A, Airport.
Zhou Lang went to check in his luggage, while Su Youling was on the phone with the babies, reassuring them that she would be back soon.
At that moment, a sprightly figure came into view.
She comforted the baby for a few moments, hung up the phone, and looked at the caller calmly, "Did you need something from me?"
"Do you love Li Tingxi very much?" Old Master Li asked bluntly.
"What gives you the right to ask this question?" Su Youling sneered when she saw his bad attitude. Thinking of what he had done to Li Tingxi, she had no respect for elders at all.
He doesn't deserve it.
“I am his father. You grew up abroad and don’t understand the deep-rooted family ties in our bones. This is a cultural tradition that has lasted for thousands of years.” Old Master Li said with a lecturing expression, “If you want to live well with him, you should have the most basic respect for me.”
The old master Li would never have given Su Youling a second glance back then, as Su Youling was not the daughter-in-law he was satisfied with.
He would never have agreed if it weren't for the company's interests.
Even after they got married, Li Tingxi didn't care about her, and the old man didn't even acknowledge her. He had long planned to wait for the public outcry to die down so that Li Tingxi could divorce his wife and marry someone who could consolidate his power.
"What kind of father would let his son fall into a trap of prostitution and not care? What kind of father would lead a group to seize control of the company when his own son's life is uncertain? What kind of father would betray his son at every turn and use all sorts of underhanded tricks?" Su Youling retorted, "Excuse my bluntness, Mr. Li, you are not fit to be a parent."
"You!" Old Master Li glared at her, then suddenly sneered, "You're so sharp-tongued now, don't cry later! Rebecca, come with me."
Su Youling naturally refused, saying, "Sorry, we're not that close."
"Hmph! You have no choice." Old Master Li waved his hand, and the bodyguards stepped forward to forcibly take Su Youling away, but Zhou Lang quickly rushed over and easily subdued her.
"Madam, are you alright?"
"You came quickly, it's alright." Su Youling walked up to Old Master Li. "As you can see, my assistant is very capable. Get to the point, don't play these games."
Old Master Li's face turned ashen. He hadn't expected Su Youling to have such a capable person by her side. He had also selected many capable bodyguards and could tell at a glance that Zhou Lang was no ordinary person. "This is someone Li Tingxi gave you, right? With your status, you don't deserve to have such a good bodyguard."
"Yeah, are you envious? Jealous?" Su Youling said in a tone that seemed to say she was furious. "Sorry, I'm in a hurry to get back and have a late-night snack with Tingxi, so I won't waste my breath on you."
"Stop!" Seeing that she was really going to leave, Old Master Li had no choice but to put on a stern face. "You should have known about Su Youling long ago, right? You care about Li Tingxi so much, don't you want to know what happened between him and Su Youling in the past?"
Before Su Youling could answer, he said coldly, "Even if you don't care about the past, what about now? Don't you care that your man truly loves another woman?"
Su Youling paused in her steps.
So it turns out they were trying to sow discord.
She wasn't interested in the past, but now...
Having heard from others about all the things Li Tingxi had done in the past few years, she was quite curious to see what new tricks Old Master Li could come up with from his perspective.
"Since Chairman Li has extended such a generous invitation, I will reluctantly agree to go with you."
Zhou Lang wanted to persuade her, but Su Youling didn't care. "You're coming with me. Aren't you afraid of him?"

"What tricks are you trying to pull? Don't worry, I'll talk to Tingxi about it."
The group got into the car. Old Master Li kept his eyes closed and didn't say a word, feeling that he had just lost face. The atmosphere in the car was very tense.
At this moment, the assistant suddenly whispered to Old Master Li, "Chairman Li, the Chu family..."
He glanced at Su Youling, then hesitated, as if he wanted to say something but couldn't.
Old Master Li opened his eyes and said calmly, "No need to hide anything from anyone, just say what you mean."
Now that Li Tingxi has woken up, he couldn't possibly be unaware of the fact that Li Tingxi had allied with various powerful families.
He didn't mind letting this woman know what kind of powerful figure she had offended; blindly siding with Li Tingxi would not end well.
"Yes, the Chu family has run into some problems, and the public opinion is very unfriendly right now." The assistant took out his phone and handed it to the old man. The internet was full of public opinion attacks against the Chu family, almost one-sided insults and a loss of fans.
"Mr. Chu would like to meet with you tomorrow."
"Let him clean up his mess before he comes to talk about cooperation. I don't want to clean up his mess for him," Old Master Li said calmly. "Forget it, with Chu Yuexuan's abilities, this matter won't last past tonight. Let's arrange it for tomorrow noon, and he can choose the location."
"Yes!" The assistant immediately went to make the contact.
Old Master Li glanced at Su Youling. "Aren't you curious? Or did Li Tingxi tell you everything?"
"...His company, his rivals, whatever he wants to do, I won't interfere, because I have confidence in him." Su Youling retorted without backing down, "However, it's surprising that Chairman Li, who has been through so much, would do something so foolish as to invite a wolf into the house in his old age."
"You!" Old Master Li almost raised his cane.
Zhou Lang immediately blocked Su Youling's path, glaring at her menacingly.
“Arrogant little girl, you really dare to say that.” Old Master Li gritted his teeth. “Everything Li Tingxi has is given to him by me. If he is obedient, I will reward him with a meal. Now that he doesn’t want to wag his tail at me anymore, I will cut off his arms and take back everything I gave him.”
"It's getting dark, so you can just sit and dream for a while longer." Su Youling closed her eyes, not wanting to waste words with him, only thinking about what she would see later.
She thought that Old Master Li would take her to visit the Li Mansion, since it was the place where she and Li Tingxi had lived the longest.
According to Li Tingxi, the place is still the same as it was before she left.
Unexpectedly, the car stopped below the cemetery.
“You must know a lot about Li Tingxi’s ex-wife, Su Youling, but no matter how much outsiders say, you don’t understand what Li Tingxi really thinks.” Old Master Li led her to a grave. “This is proof that he has always loved Su Youling deeply. You only caught Li Tingxi’s eye because you look like Su Youling.”
"This is..." Su Youling squatted down in shock, touching the cold stone tablet, her face turning pale. "He really is!"
This is a double grave, with a double tombstone and a photo of the two people on it.
That photo was just a casual snapshot taken at a shopping mall during their brief period of sweetness. Not long after, Li Tingxi was called away by Shen Xiyue from the hospital...
She had almost forgotten about this photo.
Unexpectedly, Li Tingxi found it and used it as their joint burial photo.
Li Tingxi's name and photo were already pasted on, and her information was also engraved, corresponding one-to-one with her life story.
The only difference is that Li Tingxi hasn't had his death date marked yet, but his determination to die is already written all over his face.
