Chapter 585 Every sentence hit him right where it hurts.
Shen Xiyue's expression changed. She hated the suffocating feeling of having to hide and run, but she was at the mercy of others and it was not the time to resist.
"You deliberately tried to trick me?" As she calmed down, she realized Su Youling's intentions and was about to slap her.
Snap!
Su Youling wasn't about to let her get away with it. She grabbed Chen Xiyue's wrist with one hand and slapped her back with the other, making Chen Xiyue see stars. "You bitch—"
"I agreed to your conditions to leave this place, but I didn't allow you to trample on and humiliate me at will. Shen Xiyue, if it weren't for trying to get information out of me, do you think I would have obediently stood there and let you throw milk at me?"
"Aren't you afraid I'll retaliate against Rebecca? How dare you fight back..." Shen Xiyue was furious, and threatening words came out of her mouth without warning.
"Have you ever heard the saying 'Better to die a glorious death than live a shameful life'?" Su Youling coldly shook off her arm. "Li Tingxi will be here soon. If you don't leave now, you'll die before you've achieved your ambitions."
Hearing the commotion outside and the bodyguard's urging in her ear, Shen Xiyue gritted her teeth unwillingly and said, "Su Youling, you better behave yourself. You'd better keep track of what you should and shouldn't say. I'll be waiting for you on the plane with Old Master Yin."
After saying that, she hurriedly urged someone to take Old Master Yin away, her back view showing a sense of fleeing in panic.
It seems that Shen Xiyue wasn't as self-righteous as she appeared—deep down, she was still afraid of Li Tingxi.
Su Youling took out a tissue to wipe the sticky milk off her face. Just as she was frowning, she caught a glimpse of Li Tingxi barging in with two bodyguards. "Su Youling!"
"What?" Su Youling glared at him, annoyed. "You really know how to time things, coming up here first thing in the morning to bring bad luck?"
"You!" Li Tingxi looked at her disheveled appearance, feeling both heartache and anger at the same time. He didn't know whether to scold her or ask her a word of concern first.
His face grew increasingly grim, and he couldn't help but blurt out, "Why can't you just listen to me? Why does a woman have to be so stubborn?"
Hearing his thoughtless angry words, Su Youling's face darkened, and she threw the tissue she had used to wipe the milk in his face. "Li Tingxi, what right do you have to criticize me? What's wrong with being a woman? If it weren't for me, a woman, raising three children single-handedly, would you, a lonely man who has no one to love you, be able to reap the benefits today?"
She gritted her teeth and hissed, "If it weren't for me, a woman, charging ahead, you'd still be completely fooled by your ex-girlfriend, the one who's always been in the spotlight!"
"What did you say?" Li Tingxi originally wanted to have a proper talk with her, even if it was just to pass on a message, so that he would have some idea of what was going on, instead of waiting like a fool for her to 'favor' him...
But he didn't expect Su Youling to be so sharp-tongued as soon as they met, every word she said was aimed at his heart, it was as if she was just there to start a fight!
Li Tingxi couldn't help but kick over the table, grabbing Su Youling's wrist and pulling her out, saying, "I'll settle the score with you when we get back!"
"Li Tingxi, let go of me, don't make me lose my temper." Su Youling kicked him, then subtly dug a handful into his palm, and said sternly, "I've taken care of the children for five years, and you can't even stand being asked to put down your work to protect them for a few days?"
Li Tingxi's ashen face froze as he stared intently at her sharp and stern expression. He said coldly, "Women should stay home and take care of the children. Earning money and supporting the family is a man's job. Why do you have to be so stubborn about such a trivial matter?"

"A fight of brute force?"
Su Youling breathed a sigh of relief, knowing that he had come to his senses and regained his rationality; otherwise, things would have been very difficult to handle today.
However, she still spoke with an angry tone, "It's not just you men who have careers and ambitions. This time I lost to Ye Qing, lost a big project, and the company still has a bunch of messes to clean up."
"The Strange Kingdom is the property of the Ferro family, and it was only because Old Master Yin gave me face that he single-handedly helped me get started. I absolutely cannot make any mistakes, otherwise wouldn't I be dragging Old Master Yin down with me and making him a laughing stock?"
Having given her all the hints she needed to, Su Youling coldly shook off Li Tingxi's hand and said with a gloomy expression, "It's almost time. I should board the plane. Whatever you have to do, wait until I've dealt with things in Atlanta."
After saying that, she dragged her suitcase and hastily wiped the milk off her hair several times with tissues, but the uncomfortable feeling still lingered.
Whether it was psychological or not, she felt like her whole body was covered in soft, chubby milk.
Seeing Su Youling leave without looking back, Zhou Lang glanced at Li Tingxi worriedly and whispered, "President, are we just going to let Madam go like that? She's going to Atlanta alone; what if something happens to her..."
"She insists on going out to suffer and be abused, what does that have to do with me!" Li Tingxi calmly gripped the tissue Su Youling had just thrown at him and said angrily, "It seems I've spoiled her too much lately, making her lawless. Relying on the fact that the three children side with her, she throws tantrums at me without any limits, coming and going as she pleases. Does she think I'm invisible?"
"I don't care if she lives or dies this time, just to teach her a lesson! Once she's suffered a loss, she'll know to come back to me for protection, humiliated and defeated." He said and left, seemingly quite angry.
"President, but..." Zhou Ming didn't expect that such a perfect couple would turn against each other so easily. Although there were many speculations about the two, including a lot of attacks and humiliations, those who were actually by Li Tingxi's side knew that he protected Su Youling like the apple of his eye.
That must have been said in anger!
He was about to volunteer to go with Su Youling to Atlanta to protect her when Zhou Lang pressed his arm down. "Shut up. Don't forget your duty as a bodyguard. It's not our place to meddle in our employer's family affairs."
Zhou Ming exchanged a glance with him, vaguely understood something, and silently followed him.
After a while, when boarding announcements sounded repeatedly over the airport, Shen Xiyue and her group cautiously emerged from the waiting room and hurried toward the boarding gate.
“Miss, Mr. Ye is handling things in Atlanta. You don’t need to make the trip yourself.” The bodyguard stopped the headstrong Shen Xiyue and said in a low voice, “The master wants you to stay here and deal with Li Tingxi. That’s your mission. We will take Old Master Yin to Atlanta.”
“No.” Shen Xiyue gripped her hot phone tightly, her eyes red-rimmed. “The nanny just called to say my daughter’s condition has relapsed, and I have to go see her in person. Besides, I can’t wait to see Su Youling’s tragic end.”
"As for Li Tingxi... didn't you see that he and Su Youling have fallen out? At least for the next few days, he won't dwell on Su Youling's matter. Instead, he'll follow the trail we deliberately set and go abroad to track down Li Qidong's whereabouts."
"If I stay here now, and Li Tingxi happens to find me, it will distract him and disrupt our original plan."
The bodyguard frowned. "But..."
