Chapter 420 Fate
“I didn’t say it before because you wouldn’t listen. Now I’m speaking my mind because even if we’re getting a divorce, we’ll still be friends of many years.” Xia Zhiying was used to his sarcasm and irony, but now that they were getting a divorce, she was surprisingly calm. “Li Tingxi is in the hospital right now, his life hanging in the balance, but Chairman Li may not have told you the truth. Maybe he’s already woken up?”
"So what if he's awake? Do you think that with Chairman Li and me joining forces, and with so many other supporters, Li Tingxi, who just escaped death, can defeat us?" Chu Yuexuan had these doubts in his heart all along, and had been secretly sending people to investigate, while also leaving himself a way out.
For some reason, he disliked Xia Zhiying for boosting others' morale while diminishing his own.
"Since you've decided to leave, then don't meddle in other people's business. Just do your duty to the end. I have my reasons for everything I do, what do you know?"
Xia Zhiying felt a pang of sadness.
Too.
In Chu Yuexuan's eyes, she is now just a decorative assistant, a half-housewife, and naturally a woman who cannot be presented in a respectable manner, and does not understand these treacherous business battles.
"I'm sorry, I was too nosy." Xia Zhiying's eyes showed a hint of disappointment. Without hesitation, she pushed Chu Yuexuan away, turned around, and got into the car.
If she wasn't infatuated with this person, why would she give up a promising future and willingly become a housewife?
Indeed, being love-struck is a bad thing.
She's not even as good as Baochuan, who digs for wild vegetables, because Chu Yuexuan is even more despicable, ruthless, and cold-blooded than the Xue family.
She should have woken up long ago.
A moment later, I received the restaurant's address and private room number on my phone.
Xia Zhiying secretly admired Rebecca's thoughtful friend.
This is my return to the field of psychological counseling after many years. I must be fully prepared and strive to regain my confidence in one fell swoop, completely overcoming my current state of inferiority and failure.
The restaurant isn't luxurious, but it excels in its elegant style and refreshing environment.

It was quiet and peaceful, with no noise around.
This is a great place to talk business and relax, perfect for strangers meeting for the first time... That patient's family member has a good eye for places.
Pushing open the door, Xia Zhiying recalled the situation back then and greeted everyone with a gentle smile, "Hello, I'm Xia Zhiying, Rebecca's friend... Is that you?"
"You are Xia Zhiying?" Su Youling immediately recognized the person as the woman she had saved before. She hadn't expected it to be such a coincidence.
Remembering what Rebecca had said about how Xia Zhiying's experience was similar to hers, she had originally wanted to look into this Dr. Xia before she came.
But then she thought of herself back then, and decided to get to know this person face-to-face and not pry into other people's privacy.
After all, Xia Zhiying is one of our own, not an enemy.
"What a coincidence!" Su Youling was the first to come to her senses, laughed heartily, stood up, grabbed Xia Zhiying's hand, and led her to a seat. "We are really destined to meet. I didn't expect that we would get to know each other in such a unique way before we even officially met."
“Yes, I didn’t expect Rebecca to have such unique friends. She has been well protected by her family since she was a child, but she doesn’t have any real friends to talk to.” Xia Zhiying was a little nervous at first, but seeing this woman’s calm and generous demeanor from beginning to end, she unconsciously relaxed.
Su Youling smiled and said, "I have to thank you for letting Rebecca be herself again, which is why we are meeting today."
She extended her hand, smiled politely, and said, "Let's get to know each other formally, Dr. Xia. My name is Su Youling, and I'm currently the president of Strange Kingdom. Due to some personal reasons, I'm temporarily using [a certain position/role]."
Rebecca's identity.
"Su...you're Su Youling?" Xia Zhiying was so shocked she almost sat up. "You and Rebecca...the female CEO lover of Li Tingxi mentioned online, are you? You're here today to find a psychologist for Li Tingxi?"
— Li Tingxi's current lover is a beautiful CEO who is active in the business circle of City C under the identity of Rebecca.
This beautiful CEO is Li Tingxi's rumored deceased wife.
Back when she had just married Chu Yuexuan's servant, people joked that her marriage as a substitute for Chu Yuexuan was just like that of Su Youling and Li Tingxi. But then those rumors suddenly disappeared.
It was probably Li Tingxi who made the move.
From then on, she was too busy with her chaotic married life to pay much attention to news about this person.
Unexpectedly, Su Youling was still alive.
It seems she and Li Tingxi have made up.
"Didn't Rebecca say anything?" Su Youling teased, trying to put Xia Zhiying at ease. "I didn't die back then, I just went abroad. But perhaps it was a twisted fate, we ended up together again after returning to China. Because of what happened back then, Li Tingxi's condition..."
"Wait a minute!" Xia Zhiying suddenly interrupted her, then hesitated before saying, "Ms. Su, you trust me so much that you've told me all this without reservation. As a psychologist, I must make one thing clear to you."
Seeing how serious she was, Su Youling paused for a moment before saying, "Go ahead."
“My current husband, Chu Yuexuan, has partnered with Li Tingxi’s father. At this critical juncture, you shouldn’t have told me about Li Tingxi’s life or death, or his condition.” Xia Zhiying hadn’t expected the patient to be Li Tingxi; it was too much of a coincidence.
It seems that Li Tingxi's health is slowly recovering in the hospital, otherwise Su...

Youling won't rush to find him a psychologist.
Since Li Tingxi kept the news so well hidden, he must also be plotting against Chairman Li. At this time, anyone who gets involved is likely to become cannon fodder.
"The Chu family and Chairman Li have joined forces?" Su Youling hadn't expected there to be such a connection, but she was even more impressed by Xia Zhiying's honesty and professionalism.
Therefore, she became even more determined to ask this hidden bigwig for help.
The importance of a psychologist to Li Tingxi is self-evident; he must be someone he can trust.
"Dr. Xia, you just mentioned your current husband..." Su Youling asked tentatively, "Are you experiencing any problems in your marriage with President Chu?"
“We… are getting a divorce soon,” Xia Zhiying said bitterly. “I’ve struggled for so long, but in the end it’s all for nothing. I’m tired of all this. From now on, I just want to be myself and live for myself for once.”
"Since that's the case, I invited Dr. Xia, not Mrs. Chu, so what's there to question?" Su Youling smiled generously. "I trust you, I trust Rebecca even more, and I trust your professional ethics the most. As a psychologist, you would keep your patients' information confidential, wouldn't you?"
"You..." Xia Zhiying wanted to cry and laugh at the same time, "You trust a stranger so easily, it's really hard to imagine how you became a female CEO?"
This joke brought the two of them one step closer without them even realizing it.
They started chatting a lot, talking about everything under the sun with great tacit understanding, and both of them consciously avoided touching on each other's private matters. Later in the conversation, Su Youling took the initiative to explain Li Tingxi's condition and relayed Dr. Fang's diagnosis to him.
"Is there no psychological treatment report?" Xia Zhiying thought for a moment. "Judging from your description of President Li, he should have received psychological treatment, otherwise his emotional control wouldn't be so stable now."
