Chapter 508 We'll Advance and Retreat Together
Rebecca's face darkened. "Threats, intimidation, and the use of force—do you really think you can gain the approval of a few children this way?"
Li Tingxi was hit where it hurt, and the dull pain in the back of his head returned, with the suppressed rage showing signs of resurfacing.
But even if this Mr. Bei, whose origins are unknown, really crippled this person, would Su Youling really be willing to spend the rest of her life with a cripple? Even for the sake of the children, it's impossible.
The sudden surge of malice in his mind gave Li Tingxi's eyes a sinister and malevolent aura.
Rebecca felt a sudden chill run down her neck, an instinctive sense of crisis.
Just as Li Tingxi was consumed by anger and about to act impulsively...
Lu Mingxuan, who had just landed after his business trip, glanced up from the airport and happened to see Rebecca's profile, which he could almost picture in his midnight dreams. His heart skipped a beat.
The excitement of seeing his goddess instantly made him forget the fatigue of his business trip. However, this excitement immediately turned into a raging fire when he saw Li Tingxi tightly gripping Rebecca's collar and trying to strangle her.
Without a second thought, he rushed over, grabbed Li Tingxi's arm tightly, stared at him with a livid face, and shouted angrily, "Li Tingxi, what do you think you're doing?!"
Because of his abrupt appearance and questioning, Li Tingxi glanced at him unhappily and frowned, "You know him?"
Lu Mingxuan was only concerned about the safety of his goddess and didn't want to reply to him at all. He took the opportunity to forcefully remove his hand and looked Rebecca up and down with concern. He wanted to touch her but didn't dare to offend her. "Rebecca, are you hurt?"
"Rebecca?" Li Tingxi looked at Rebecca's face again in disbelief, as if he had been hit in the head with a club.
He subconsciously glanced at Rebecca's neck and realized that she indeed did not have a prominent Adam's apple.
In that case, everything that seemed strange before now makes sense.
Her appearance was effeminate, her height and the thin frame that was visible even under her oversized clothes, and her voice... all because she was, after all, a woman!
No wonder she and Su Youling have such a close relationship; this rival in love is entirely a figment of his imagination.
After a moment of stunned silence, Li Tingxi couldn't feel much relief; instead, he was overwhelmed by self-reproach and regret.
He misunderstood Su Youling once again and almost made a grave mistake by attacking Rebecca.
Thinking of this, Li Tingxi felt a wave of fear, and his head throbbed slightly. He suddenly remembered what Xia Zhiying had said when he met her at the private kitchen.
Indeed, it was his stubbornness and arrogance that hurt Su Youling time and time again.
Li Tingxi's hands, hanging by his sides, trembled slightly involuntarily, and he didn't even know how to face Su Youling next.
Rebecca was a little overwhelmed by Lu Mingxuan's overly enthusiastic concern, and deliberately smiled at him distantly: "I remember you, your name is... Lu Mingxuan, right? You're my fan."
Lu Mingxuan was overjoyed that she remembered his name after only two brief interactions.
Rebecca glanced at Li Tingxi and saw that he had fallen into an odd silence because of the fact that she was a woman, so she immediately pursed her lips.

Lu Mingxuan followed her gaze and then remembered to continue questioning Li Tingxi about his earlier "attack": "President Li, you're a grown man, how could you lay a hand on a woman? Don't you think that's going too far?"
Li Tingxi ignored his words and looked at Rebecca with an unreadable expression, saying with mixed feelings, "You are Rebecca, why did Su Su keep it from me?"
Rebecca couldn't help but roll her eyes, saying without any politeness, "Of course you have to look for the reason within yourself, Mr. Li."
Li Tingxi's expression darkened further because of her sarcastic tone.
Knowing about her close relationship with Su Youling, her words largely represented some of Su Youling's thoughts.
Li Tingxi couldn't help but reflect on himself from the bottom of his heart: Where exactly did he go wrong? And what exactly did Su Youling need?
Lu Mingxuan, who was standing to the side, noticed some clues from the conversation between the two, but compared to Rebecca, he was not too curious about the emotional entanglement between Su Youling and Li Tingxi.
Getting up close to the goddess he'd admired for so many years, and even seeing her lively, witty, and even quirky side in private, he couldn't help but feel a flush of embarrassment, and his feelings for Rebecca seemed to grow stronger rather than weaker.
Li Tingxi's feelings were completely different from his.
Rebecca couldn't fathom his thoughts either, so she deliberately reminded him to test him: "Lingling is already on her way, she should be here soon, Li Tingxi. I'm curious to see just how far you're going to go. You're not going to take your anger out on Lingling because of what happened today, are you?"
Li Tingxi's eyelids twitched involuntarily, and he couldn't help but feel a surge of panic.
It was at this moment that Su Youling finally arrived, albeit late.
She saw Rebecca and Li Tingxi "confronting" each other from afar in the taxi. As soon as the car stopped, she rushed over, afraid that if she was a step too late, Li Tingxi might do something outrageous to Rebecca if he went crazy.
Without a second thought, she rushed over and stood directly in front of Rebecca, looking at Li Tingxi with unwavering eyes. "Everything today was arranged by me, Li Tingxi. If you want to blame someone, blame me alone. I will bear all the consequences!"
Rebecca frowned upon hearing this, put her arm around her shoulder and said disapprovingly, "How can you exclude me? Let's stick together."
She slightly raised her chin and said to Li Tingxi in a firm voice, "Li Tingxi, don't think that you're the only one with tricks up your sleeve. We're not afraid of you either. You're welcome to come at us. Lingling and I will fight you to the death, but we will never back down."
Li Tingxi's gaze had been fixed on Su Youling's face ever since she appeared. Now, he stared intently into her eyes and asked her with a dark look, "Is Rebecca's intention also yours? Are you determined to draw a line between us? You didn't even ask me about sending Yangyang abroad before assuming I wouldn't agree."
Su Youling naturally assumed that he was criticizing her afterwards, and she was also angry. She couldn't help but retort, "Li Tingxi, have you forgotten your previous attitude? It's not that I don't want to believe you, it's that you didn't give me any choice at all."
She took a deep breath, glared defiantly at Li Tingxi, and declared war: "You are free to use all sorts of torture methods on me, but Yangyang, I am determined to send him abroad for treatment."
She was prepared for Li Tingxi to go crazy at the mention of going abroad, just like before, but things turned out completely unexpectedly.
