Chapter 583 He Just Minds
"That's good, as long as you understand. I've already booked the tickets. See you at the airport at 8:15 tomorrow morning." After thinking for a moment, Grandpa Yin still earnestly warned Su Youling, "Su girl, all the misfortunes you've experienced so far have been brought about by Li Tingxi. If you really had no connection with Li Tingxi five years from now, you wouldn't have gotten into so much trouble."
"Li Tingxi couldn't protect you, and he shouldn't have bothered with you before clearing away all the other women around him. I'm a man, and I know the flaws in men. Don't let love cloud your judgment anymore..."
He lowered his voice, "Once Rebecca returns safely, I will help you get your child back and let your family return to a peaceful life. This is no small matter, so don't disturb your mother. She's old and in poor health; she can't handle such a shock."
Su Youling clenched her fists and reluctantly replied, "I know what I should and shouldn't say. I'll be at the airport on time tomorrow."
She hung up the phone and realized her fingers were trembling.
Grandpa Yin's words did have some impact on her, and in fact, they deepened her feelings of guilt towards Rebecca.
No matter how unpleasant the old man's words were, it was a fact that she and Li Tingxi had dragged Rebecca down with them.
If Li Tingxi hadn't stopped her from dealing with Shen Xiyue back then, perhaps none of this trouble would have happened.
Just then, the door opened.
Li Tingxi suddenly appeared at the door, his expression seemingly calm, yet giving off an unsettling feeling that a storm was brewing. "Are you going to the airport tomorrow?"
Su Youling touched the necklace on her chest and said expressionlessly, "The new project I've worked so hard on for so long has been snatched away by Ye Qing. I have to go back to the company and give everyone an explanation."
“I’ve booked my plane ticket and I’m leaving first thing tomorrow morning. You…” She stared intently at Li Tingxi, pursed her lips, “I’ll leave the children in your care for now. I’ll come back as soon as I’ve settled things in Atlanta.”
"Besides the children, is there anything else you want to say to me?" Li Tingxi

Knowing full well that she might not be able to speak right now, she didn't miss Su Youling's little gesture of touching the necklace.
She had a million ways to tell herself she was angry, but when things were about to escalate, she kept him out of the picture, remaining calm and collected.
She really didn't think about herself at all!
This stubborn and cold-hearted woman is infuriating!
Seeing his aggressive demeanor, Su Youling felt even more annoyed and angry. "If it weren't for your womanizing and scumbag nature, how could I have so many enemies for no reason? Shen Xiyue, Karina, Ye Qing... the women around you are all so capable. If you can't have them, you resort to making trouble for me! What did I do to deserve this?"
She pushed Li Tingxi out the door and said coldly, "I can handle the company's affairs myself. You have your own company and responsibilities, so stop worrying about my work! Also, your biggest task is to take good care of the children. If anything happens to them again, I will never forgive you."
After saying that, Su Youling slammed the door shut without waiting for Li Tingxi's response. "Don't bother me! I have to catch an early flight tomorrow. I'm going to sleep."
A violent slamming sound came from outside the door, accompanied by Li Tingxi's angry rebuke: "Su Youling, you're really something! It seems I've spoiled you too much, which is why you've become so arrogant and lawless!"
The angry footsteps outside the door faded into the distance.
Su Youling leaned against the wall, clutching the necklace around her neck, her eyes growing colder with each passing moment.
at the same time.
Ye Qing and Shen Xiyue heard the entire conversation between the two, and could even see Li Tingxi's furious expression.
It felt incredibly comfortable.
“You really understand their inner conflict.” Ye Qing picked up the red wine and nodded slightly to Shen Xiyue. “I thought their relationship was so unbreakable, but it turns out it was just a bluff.”
“If they were truly so invincible, why would they have wasted five years, with their child already so grown up, and still not be together?” Shen Xiyue swirled her wine glass, her face 'all under control'. “Li Tingxi is a proud man at heart. The reason he was able to lower himself and pursue Su Youling for so long was mostly out of guilt for witnessing Su Youling fall into the sea five years ago and because of his unrequited love.”
"Men, you know, that little flaw in their nature isn't hard to understand. The more unattainable a woman is, the more itchy they become. But there's a limit to how much itchy they can be. Su Youling kept pushing him away without any appreciation, constantly talking about the child and not caring about him at all. How could he possibly stand that?"
Ye Qing looked at her smug expression, a dark glint flashing in his eyes, but he said nothing.
Now that things have come to this, she no longer wants to have any illusions about Li Tingxi, that cold and ruthless man, but she doesn't want to see him and Su Youling living happily as a family.
Seeing the two of them in a love-hate relationship makes all her efforts worthwhile, and it's not like she's trying to get something out of nothing.
Fortune favors the bold, and she had nothing she couldn't afford to gamble on.
"I'm heading to the airport right away. I'll take care of the people with the Ferro family as soon as possible." Ye Qing put down his wine glass, a burning eagerness flashing in his eyes. "I can't wait to see Su Youling suffer all kinds of humiliation after arriving in Atlantis."
"I'm looking forward to it." Shen Xiyue personally escorted them to the door, smiling slightly. "Wish us luck."
...
This is the villa area.
The deeper the night, the quieter the atmosphere.
Li Tingxi sat alone in the room.

Frowning as she browsed the investigation report sent by Qin He, she could almost reconstruct Su Youling's experiences throughout the day.
But even after staring at his phone and circling up and down the stairs several times, he still couldn't find a single clue left by Su Youling.
She hinted to Zhou Lang to stake out the location; wasn't that her way of asking for her help?
Why did she remain silent and offer no explanation when things reached a critical juncture, effectively pulling herself out of the fight?
Even though there was an element of acting involved in their outburst, he could sense that Su Youling's anger towards him was genuine.
Deep down, she probably still blames herself for letting Shen Xiyue go, which led to Rebecca being kidnapped.
Li Tingxi was also very angry. After the incident, all she talked about was the child. Was he really that unimportant to her?
He knew this emotion was wrong, especially at this critical juncture. He should understand Su Youling's struggle and guilt, and should be more rational.
Bang!
Li Tingxi suddenly kicked over a chair in frustration, unable to calm down at all—he was bothered! He was bothered that his position in Su Youling's heart was so insignificant!
What angered me even more was her "aloofness"...
What I hate most is that I didn't discover Shen Xiyue's conspiracy sooner, which gave her the opportunity to stir up trouble!
Ultimately, it's because he wasn't strong enough or perceptive enough!
If something really happens to Rebecca, Su Youling will definitely leave him without hesitation!
This is Li Tingxi's most resentful and angry subconscious thought.
Suppressing his last shred of rationality, Li Tingxi took the medicine and angrily paced around in circles before finally calming down his burning rage. In the middle of the night, he made a phone call: "Li Mufeng, I can't wait to play the long game!"
