Chapter 550 Jealousy
Ye Qing's eyes flashed with resentment, and she gritted her teeth as she gave David an ultimatum: "I'll give you one more week. If you still can't get things done, I'll show you what happens to a useless piece of trash."
David let out a heavy breath, his emotions on the verge of being suppressed, and he was very irritable: "President Ye, am I not more anxious than you? The bodyguards that Li Tingxi and Rebecca arranged are following me too closely, I don't dare to get too close to monitor them at all."
Ye Qing slammed his fist on the table and roared, "I don't want to hear any of your explanations. I just want to see the result: either that bitch Rebecca dies, or you die. You choose!"
David was intimidated by her, and his tone softened: "Don't worry, I will continue to stake out the area, and I will definitely make my move as soon as I get the chance."
To appease Ye Qing, he released what he thought was useful information: "Rebecca has been in frequent contact with a Chinese man surnamed Feng recently, seemingly discussing business. However, the man surnamed Feng is very cautious, and the two always choose to meet in private clubs with high privacy, which I cannot sneak into."
Upon hearing this, Ye Qing became even more anxious.
Feng Anhuai's trip to the country was originally a private one, and she had gone to great lengths to find a way to meet him. The progress of the project proposal was also not satisfactory, while Feng Anhuai was getting along very well with Su Youling. All signs indicated that Su Youling had gained the upper hand in this project competition.
No, we absolutely cannot let that bitch Rebecca win this project! And as for Li Tingxi, if this continues, he'll eventually find out that I was the one who ordered the kidnapping of Rebecca.
Ye Qing was so anxious that she broke off a piece of her fingernail. The pain only intensified her anxiety.
As she paced around, she gave David her orders in a low voice: "Keep a close eye on things. If Rebecca meets with that man surnamed Feng, you must notify me immediately. Also, I can't wait any longer. I'll say it again, you only have a week at most. If you fail, you know what will happen to you."
She hung up the phone immediately before David could reply.
...
Meanwhile, Su Youling, who was waiting at Professor Richard's house for Yangyang's examination to finish, received a call from Feng Anhuai.
It was related to the project proposal. There was an unexpected incident, and the situation was quite urgent, so Su Youling didn't avoid Li Tingxi.
On the contrary, Li Tingxi frowned immediately after hearing Feng Anhuai's voice on the other end of the phone.
Even though he knew the two were talking about work, and Su Youling had explained that she had rejected Feng Anhuai's advances more than once, he still couldn't let it go.
He admitted that he couldn't cultivate the skill of enduring listening to his woman chatting with the man who liked her right now.
Li Tingxi was clearly displeased. Seeing that Su Youling had completely ignored his presence, he let out a heavy sigh, got up and left to contact Qin He to inquire about the progress on the kidnappers' side.
Su Youling glanced at Li Tingxi subconsciously, but didn't have time to think about it further, and continued to discuss with Feng Anhuai how to solve the current problem.
Yangyang had just finished her checkup and came downstairs when she saw Li Tingxi's sullen expression as he left.
Only when he got closer did he hear that Su Youling was talking about work with a man. He lowered his eyelids thoughtfully.
After dinner in the evening,

Su Youling first coaxed Xingxing and Yueyue to sleep. Seeing that Yangyang didn't want to lie down, she touched her son's head and asked with concern, "Are you worried about the treatment? Baby, don't be afraid. Mommy, your younger brother and sister, and Uncle Li will always be with you. Grandpa Richard also said that he will definitely cure your illness."
“I’m not afraid, Mom,” Yangyang reached out and took her hand, looking at her seriously. “Can I talk to you?”
Su Youling immediately became serious, so she squeezed into the quilt and snuggled up to him, pulling him into her arms. "You know, it's been a long time since Mom had a heart-to-heart talk with you like this."
Yangyang nestled in her arms, his little face pressed against her chest, and pursed his lips. "Mommy, I'm worried about you and Uncle Li."
Su Youling looked down and saw a rare hint of vulnerability on his small face, and her heart tightened.
She smiled nonchalantly, "Mom and Uncle Li are adults, and we can handle many things ourselves. You're so young, you don't need to worry about these things. Mom just hopes you get better soon."
Yangyang sat up a little straighter, shook his head, and his big eyes showed a bit of stubbornness. "Grandpa Richard said that I won't be able to see Mom, Uncle Li, and my younger brother and sister for a long time during this treatment. What if Mom and Uncle Li have a fight again when I'm not here? Mom, I don't want you to be unhappy."
Su Youling even felt a lump in her throat when she heard these words.
She paused for a moment, then gently cupped Yangyang's little face in her hands and asked him earnestly, "Yangyang, Uncle Li... no, I should say Dad, do you want to acknowledge him as your father? Mommy wants to hear your true thoughts."
This was the first time she openly acknowledged Li Tingxi's identity in front of the child, even though it was no longer a secret.
Her conversation with Yangyang placed him on an equal footing with herself, which is enough to prove that she fully respects her child's opinions.
Yangyang pursed his lips: "Then, Mom, do you want me to... acknowledge Uncle Li as my father?"
Before knowing Su Youling's answer, he still stubbornly called Li Tingxi "uncle".
Su Youling understood that the little guy was expressing his "loyalty" to her in his own way; he was telling her that in his heart, no matter what, his mother's position was the most important.
Su Youling's heart softened instantly.
She lovingly hugged Yangyang, gently nuzzling his head with her chin. "Sweetie, Mommy hopes you follow your heart, not make decisions against your own will because of me. If you don't want to, Mommy will never force you to accept this father."
Realizing that this topic might be a bit heavy for Yangyang, Su Youling changed to a lighter tone and pinched his little face with a smile, "Why don't you help Mommy to check out Uncle Li again? Right now, you have the highest status in our family. He doesn't even dare to raise his voice in front of you. This is a privilege that even Mommy doesn't have."
She even deliberately showed a jealous expression when she said this.
Yangyang was a little embarrassed by her teasing, and a touch of color appeared on his pale face.
But the next second he frowned very seriously and said in a serious tone, "Okay, I will be very strict. If he is not good to Mom, we will not want him anymore."
