Chapter 296 Rebecca is her
“You…” Lu Niao paused, her face turning pale with fright. She looked at the two elders with resentment, but in the end, she didn’t dare to challenge their bottom line and ran back to her room crying.
Bang!
She slammed the door shut and burst into tears, crying, "I will never give up!"
"Tonight, I'm going to teach that Rebecca a lesson!" Lu Niao muttered to herself, clenching her fists, and suddenly took out her phone and made a call.
Grandpa Lu and Grandma Lu outside exchanged a glance. Seeing that she was still so stubborn and unrepentant, they almost fainted from anger.
Amy rubbed her forehead.
That girl is completely bewitched.
Although Li Tingxi's charm is unrelated to age, the years have only added to his allure. Regardless of his looks, abilities, or wealth, he is indeed the dream lover of countless young women.
But Lu Niao comes from a good family and has a strict upbringing. She has dated many men before, yet she, like a girl in her first love, has fallen head over heels into Li Tingxi's trap of beauty. It's really terrifying.
Li Tingxi is truly a femme fatale!
"Teacher, Grandpa, please calm down." Amy poured the two elders a glass of water, comforted them for a while, and then got up to leave.
After all, every family has its own problems, and it's not appropriate for her to stay any longer.
When the door opened, Amy was stunned.
"President Li?" She closed the door warily, turned and walked away, not wanting to trouble the two elders.
Li Tingxi caught up, his eyes icy. "Rebecca is her, isn't she?"
"Who is it?" Amy feigned ignorance.
Li Tingxi sneered, "Where is she?"
“Rebecca?” Amy sighed and looked over seriously. “Rebecca is the CEO of Strange Kingdom. As the administrative director of Ascension, although I have some work-related exchanges with her, I’m not a human tracker. I can’t keep an eye on her all the time.”
To be fair, Li Tingxi's aura has matured over the years. Although it is no longer as sharp as it used to be, its lethality has increased by a factor of two.
That cold and aggressive look from just now almost made her run away in fear.
How exactly did Su Youling live with him back then?
That's terrifying!
Amy couldn't stand being stared at so menacingly.
Fortunately, the elevator arrived in time. She didn't dare to look at Li Tingxi and quickly fled.
...
The third floor, a quiet corner.
Su Youling was completely unaware of the uproar upstairs. She was avoiding the crowd and talking on the phone with Rebecca, gossiping about Lu Mingxuan, her die-hard fan.
"You always say you're just a third-rate painter, you didn't expect to have such a loyal fan in China, did you?" Su Youling teased with a laugh. "And a handsome, promising, and gentlemanly man at that, who has worshipped you as his muse for so many years and has never married..."
“He just likes my paintings, not me as a person. I’m not married because I haven’t met the right person, not because of some goddess I’ve never met.” Rebecca was clear-headed. “Stop joking. I called to tell you—several groups of people have been investigating your background lately. Even if your face has changed a little, people who know you will still recognize you.”
She asked worriedly, "Wenxi said that Xingxing and Yueyue have both met Li Tingxi, and Yueyue really likes him... How long do you plan to stay in China?"
Su Youling's smile faded. "The project is a must-win. Tonight's banquet was worthwhile; Old Master Lu is different..."

Those investors are only after profit, and they're old friends of my teacher. I believe that as long as I have the ability, I can convince them.
“People who prioritize art above all else are much easier to deal with than the unfathomable Ding Muyan.” She kept a close eye on her surroundings, lowering her voice. “Originally, I planned to stay in China until the project was finished before going back. I had even chosen a kindergarten. I just didn’t expect things to develop like this between the children and Li Tingxi…”
Rebecca advised, "If you don't plan to rekindle your relationship with Li Tingxi and want to have independent custody of the child, I advise you to leave as soon as possible. Otherwise, judging from Wen Xi's words, it seems that Li Tingxi has not given up looking for you for the past five years. If he sees you now, the vicious cycle from back then will probably repeat itself."
The two became best friends by chance. Although she had never met Li Tingxi, she had heard their story more than once while she was sick, and she also witnessed Su Youling's entire pregnancy, as well as the hardships and love she had in raising her child.
These two people are entangled in a complicated relationship.
Su Youling has finally escaped her misery, so it's best if she doesn't see him again.
Hearing noisy footsteps approaching from not far away, as if someone was looking for something, Su Youling cautiously took a few steps into the shadows, nodded, and whispered, "Don't worry. After the project is successfully tendered, I will take care of the children first."
After hanging up the phone, she listened to the sounds outside. Once the footsteps faded away, she glanced at the time—it should be time for Old Master Lu to attend the evening banquet for an artistic exchange.
Su Youling straightened her clothes, lifted her skirt, turned around, and walked down the stairs to the first floor, perfectly missing Li Tingxi who was taking the elevator.
First floor banquet hall.
After a series of business exchanges involving toasts and conversation, Mr. Lu, whom everyone had been eagerly awaiting, finally arrived with his wife and made a belated speech on the art exhibition bidding process.
Standing below the stage, Lu Mingxuan looked around but didn't see Rebecca or Li Tingxi. He couldn't help but glance at the calm and composed Ding Muyan and asked, "What exactly are you trying to do by putting on this show tonight?"
"I just wanted to see a good show. Don't look at me like that. What could I possibly do to your goddess?" Ding Muyan smiled and said in a low voice, "Don't worry, I mean no harm."
He paused, glancing out of the corner of his eye at Lu Niao, who was walking into the crowd with great fanfare. She had completely changed from her earlier crying and making a scene, and was now chatting and laughing with the people around her with elegance and liveliness. At this moment, she was like a young lady from an artistic family.
Ding Muyan said thoughtfully, "Others might not be so."
"What?" Lu Mingxuan looked in the direction he was looking, completely bewildered, and saw that Lu Niao was standing with Karina.
The two men were whispering to each other, their expressions rather strange.
"What is Lu Niao up to now?" Lu Mingxuan was worried and wanted to go over and keep an eye on her, but he saw Karina suddenly walk towards the corner with a swift gait.
In the shadows of a corner, Rebecca, beautiful as an elf, stood quietly outside the crowd.
What do they want to do to Rebecca?
Lu Mingxuan immediately threw the wine glass into Ding Muyan's arms, turned around and walked through the crowd toward Su Youling, but out of the corner of his eye he saw Lu Niao walk onto the stage with a smile and take the microphone during the break when the old man was speaking.
"I am very pleased that everyone can gather here tonight to participate in this romantic feast of art." Lu Niao bowed deeply, and the applause below was thunderous, showing her great respect.
Grandpa Lu glanced at her in surprise, but since they were in public, he couldn't show his displeasure, so he could only stare at her intently.
Something's not right with this girl!
