Chapter 36 Exercising the Husband's Legitimate Rights
Upon realizing this possibility, Li Tingxi was so angry that he almost smashed his phone screen. Without thinking, he called Li Mufeng.
"Bring Su...Chen Xiyue back to me immediately."
"President Li, I'm not your all-around assistant Qin. Mediation of marital conflicts is not my responsibility." Li Mufeng was still dealing with the mess at the Chenzhou factory; how could he have time to solve his good brother's relationship troubles?
Hearing the commotion on the other end, Li Tingxi calmed down and said, "Thank you for handling this matter so smoothly."
"Although I really wanted to take this opportunity to extort money from you, I'm not one to steal credit." Li Mufeng spoke a few words to the police first, providing the evidence.
He shouldn't be responsible for cleaning up the mess left by the wailing and screaming of these guilty people. He should just leave and find a lawyer to handle the rest.
Leaving the noisy conference room, Li Mufeng's mind finally cleared up. He walked to the window and looked down, just in time to see Su Youling with her head down, fiddling with something. A smile unconsciously appeared in his eyes.
"Your wife is truly remarkable. I've seen a whole new level of beauty in just three days." Li Mufeng recalled the first time Li Tingxi invited him to a small gathering in Australia with his girlfriend a few years ago. Shen Xiyue was gentle, elegant, intellectual, and dignified, with an unconscious sense of superiority in her eyes. She was clearly a typical heiress from a wealthy family.
He was surprised that Li Tingxi, who had never been interested in anyone, would eventually fall for such a seemingly outstanding but actually quite ordinary girl. It was truly incomprehensible.
"I used to think this girl couldn't handle someone as outstanding as you, but I never expected that you two would change your ways after getting married. Especially Shen Xiyue, I thought she was just a kept woman in the company. I originally wanted to give her a hard time, to let her know how tough the business world is, so she wouldn't cause you any more trouble, but I never expected..."
Li Mufeng shook his head, thinking about how he had come with high hopes today, only to end up acting as a brute force goalkeeper without contributing anything. Ultimately, it was because his understanding of Shen Xiyue was too superficial.
"What did she do?" Li Tingxi didn't expect Li Mufeng to say that.
This guy seems easy to get along with, but deep down he's an extremely arrogant genius. He has a natural prejudice against women pursuing careers, believing that most women are emotional and useless creatures who only hinder men from drawing their swords.
If Su Youling hadn't been so outstanding that he was completely convinced, Li Mufeng would have already criticized him for having no taste in choosing a wife, just like when he first met Shen Xiyue.
Li Mufeng clicked his tongue in amazement, "Is your wife also a high-level hacker? The internal secrets and underground transactions of the Chenzhou factory are all top secret information. Without extensive background investigation and technical strength, she would never have been able to find out the background of Chen Yu's group. If she couldn't get their cards, today's attempt to sow discord and intercept evidence would not have succeeded."
Li Tingxi paused for a moment, trying hard to recall what Su Youling's major was. Did she have any connection with information technology in the past?
After thinking for a long time, he realized that his understanding of Su Youling over the years was really shallow, limited to the few words Qin He found when he did the background check.
Born and raised in the countryside, she lived with her adoptive mother who was a prostitute. Her academic performance in school seemed to be quite good, and she had an exceptionally strong learning ability; otherwise, she wouldn't have been able to go from a complete novice to a jewelry designer in such a short time.
But he remembered that Su Youling did not graduate from university.
He had never been interested in delving into the reasons behind it before.
Now, it seems difficult to find anything worth exploring.

Besides being rigorous and aloof in academics, Mu Feng is a complete chatterbox in life. He vividly recounted the whole process of how Su Youling tricked these old foxes into successfully obtaining the evidence.
"Her elaborate schemes, one after another, completely destroyed the brains of those arrogant old foxes who had been dominating the business world for years. None of the top-secret information I obtained by hacking into the factory's intranet was of any use. So, if you want to thank someone, thank your wife. This time, I was just her bodyguard at best."
Such brilliance seems unexpected, yet it is also perfectly reasonable.
Li Tingxi imagined Su Youling debating with a group of old foxes, and his expression unconsciously turned proud, yet also somewhat regretful that he couldn't witness it firsthand.
He used to only know from others that Director Shen had landed another big client, designed another amazing new work, or signed another new contract, but he never paid any attention to it.
Because such success, given his current abilities and status, is not enough to make people stop and marvel, but now, hearing that she has swiftly and decisively resolved the major troubles at the Chenzhou factory, his mood has changed.
“She has always been outstanding,” Li Tingxi said in a low voice.
Li Mufeng raised an eyebrow. "But she seems to really dislike you. She gets nauseous and rolls her eyes whenever she hears your name. I also heard you've found a new love... You two aren't getting a divorce, are you?"
Li Tingxi said sternly, "No."
"Sigh, that's a real pity. I was thinking that if you dumped Shen Xiyue, I could pursue her freely." Li Mufeng said with a regretful look. "With her intelligence and ability, being just a jewelry designer is too much of a waste of her talent. I wanted to marry her and take over the Li family's business group, so that my parents wouldn't keep pressuring me to give up scientific research and go back to inherit the family fortune."
"You'd better give up on that idea." Li Tingxi's handsome face darkened instantly, and he warned coldly, "Otherwise, you can forget about ever going back to Australia."
Damn it!
Li Tingxi thought angrily, how come he never noticed before that Su Youling was so attractive to men? One or two men couldn't take their eyes off her, and they all wanted to steal her away from him!
Especially now that Su Youling has a lot of grievances against him, she openly wears her dislike on her face, leaving him helpless.
Inevitably, Li Tingxi felt a sense of crisis.
Li Mufeng was only half-joking and half-seriously, and he found it hard to believe that Li Mufeng was taking it so seriously. "Brother, you've really fallen in love. You only learned to be jealous after three years of marriage. Your learning ability is unusually slow."
Back then, when Shen Xiyue was publicly proposed to by a handsome mixed-race man, Li Tingxi, as her boyfriend, remained calm. However, Shen Xiyue hurriedly tried to prove her innocence, as if she was afraid he would get angry.
At first, he didn't think the two of them were a couple, especially since Li Tingxi didn't know how to date at all and acted like an outsider.
I never imagined it was just that the iron tree was too slow to understand!
"Have you eaten too much and stuffed your brain?" Li Tingxi retorted subconsciously. "Why would I be jealous? She's my wife, I'm just exercising my legitimate rights as a husband."
He didn't take it seriously at all.
Jealousy is a common, self-inflicted, and affected behavior. He would never make such a childish mistake, much less be jealous of Su Youling.
She wasn't his true love!
He admitted that he was now somewhat dependent on Su Youling's company and reliance, but it was definitely not what Li Mufeng thought—that he had become a love-struck person without self-respect or pride for the sake of a woman.
