Chapter 445 Taking the Blame
As soon as she stepped outside, Su Youling saw Xia Zhiying waiting by the door, and she felt a sense of relief, as if she had grasped a lifeline.
She wanted to talk to Xia Zhiying alone, so she sent Li Mufeng away to check on Karina's situation.
Before leaving, Li Mufeng couldn't help but glance back and forth between Su Youling and Xia Zhiying, wondering to himself.
Given how much Su Youling cares about Li Tingxi, he is currently unconscious, so she should be by his side. What could be so important that she has to talk to Xia Zhiying about at this time?
After Li Mufeng left, Su Youling took Xia Zhiying to a secluded place to talk.
When Xia Zhiying saw that her eyes were still red, she knew that she wanted to consult her about Li Tingxi's mental state. So she adopted a professional attitude and carefully learned about Li Tingxi's current state from her.
Su Youling's brows remained furrowed, and when she finally mentioned Lu Cheng, her voice even trembled with barely suppressed sobs: "I consulted a neurosurgeon from back then, and he said... if it's serious, Li Tingxi might... have epilepsy, hemiplegia..."
Every word he uttered seemed to weigh a ton, and after speaking, his mouth felt bitter.
Xia Zhiying's impression of Su Youling was still based on the heroic figure she had when they first met, when Su Youling stood up for her. Seeing her now, so fragile that she seemed like she would break at the slightest touch, Xia Zhiying was filled with emotion.
It turns out that even such a carefree woman can become just like her when it comes to love.
But she was much luckier than me, because she was loved.
Thinking of Chu Yuexuan's meanness and cruelty, Xia Zhiying felt particularly ironic, and a bitter smile unconsciously appeared on her lips.
However, she quickly adjusted her mindset and seriously analyzed Li Tingxi's psychological state for Su Youling: "Based on your description, I'm afraid Mr. Li's psychological problems have reached a point where even ordinary psychologists would find it difficult to intervene. If he is stimulated again, it will not only affect his physiology, but also cause irreparable psychological trauma."
Upon hearing this, Su Youling's face turned ashen, as if she had lost her parents.
She knew that the psychological torment was definitely more agonizing for Li Tingxi than the physical pain.
It was at this moment, when she heard the definite answer from Xia Zhiying, that her previous hesitation came to an end.
Li Lihua's death cannot be told to Li Tingxi, at least not in the short term, and the fact that Karina is very likely Shen Xiyue cannot be revealed to him in the slightest.
Su Youling was lost in her own emotions, and Xia Zhiying felt sorry for her. Neither of them noticed that Li Mufeng was hiding behind a green plant at the corner not far away.
He was utterly shocked after overhearing the gist of Su Youling and Xia Zhiying's conversation.
It turns out that Li Tingxi's mental illness was so serious! As Li Tingxi's closest brother, why didn't he realize it until now?
Perhaps they had already noticed some clues, but Li Tingxi was too good at hiding his feelings, and his mind had been on Xia Zhiying lately.
He's such a womanizer, forget about his friends and get lost!
Li Mufeng chuckled self-deprecatingly, his gaze towards Xia Zhiying deepening as he looked at her, a wry smile creeping across his face.
And then there's Xia Zhiying, who actually has another identity: a psychologist!
Judging from Su Youling's attitude, Xia Zhiying is probably not just an ordinary psychologist.
So what on earth has he been doing all this time? He's been chasing after Xia Zhiying, yet he knows almost nothing about her.

Then they neglected Li Tingxi, and were the last to arrive when Li Tingxi fainted.
Li Mufeng was filled with deep self-loathing when he saw Su Youling and Xia Zhiying walking towards him. Afraid of being discovered eavesdropping, he quickly left.
After returning home, Su Youling first spoke with Zhou Lang, asking him to keep the news of Li Tingxi and Li Lihua's deaths a secret.
“Li Lihua’s death is too bizarre. Li Tingxi will definitely have some suspicions when he finds out. I don’t want him to be troubled by this,” Su Youling said with a serious face. Thinking of Shen Xiyue, who had been given a critical condition notice, her voice lowered. “However, you should continue to investigate the cause of Li Lihua’s death. In addition, I need to know what Karina’s identity and background are. Start investigating from five years ago. Also, find out which man her daughter was born to.”
As she finished speaking, a deep and intense undercurrent of darkness and coldness surged in her eyes, faintly carrying a hint of murderous intent.
Whether Karina is Shen Xiyue or not, we believe that once the cause of Li Lihua's death is investigated, the matter will be settled.
...
Xia Zhiying knew that now was not the time to formally contact Li Tingxi, so she said goodbye to Su Youling and left the hospital.
She had originally planned to go home, but unexpectedly received an urgent summons from the production team, saying that there had been a problem and she needed to handle it personally.
When we arrived, we found out that there was nothing important at all; it was just that Yu Jiaren was up to her old tricks again.
Because of her previous live broadcast, Qin Yaoruo became a sensation with her beauty and figure, and also dominated the Weibo hot search list.
Even though the criticism was no less than the praise, the overwhelming momentum completely overshadowed Yu Jiaren, who had paid to trend on social media but barely managed to stay at the bottom of the trending list.
Yu Jiaren went to great lengths to get Chu Yuexuan to spend money to get her on this dating reality show, all in order to use Qin Yaoruo's so-called "mistress" scandal from back then to gain some popularity by stepping on her.
Unexpectedly, this backfired and benefited Qin Yaoruo. Her pitiful entry at the bottom of the Weibo hot search list had barely over ten thousand comments and likes on the paid article about outshining Qin Yaoruo. Looking at the comments section, it was full of paid trolls and fans controlling the narrative.
The most embarrassing thing wasn't even that. The top-rated comment, "Am I the only one who watched the whole live stream and thought Yu Jiaren was being pretentious?" had over 10 likes.
If it were any other popular young actress in the entertainment industry, she would be ridiculed to the extreme, which shows how much exaggeration there is in Yu Jiaren's fame, which is based on the prestigious title of "Principal Dancer of the French Royal Dance Company."
That's why it didn't cause a ripple when the trending topic was quietly removed.
The sucker who had the trending topic removed was none other than Chu Yuexuan, who paid Yu Jiaren to buy the trending topic.
Although the trending topic was removed quickly, Yu Jiaren had already lost face, and with nowhere else to vent her anger, she naturally turned her anger towards Xia Zhiying.
There's no other reason than that Chu Yuexuan entrusted Xia Zhiying with the task of buying trending searches.
To make things difficult for her, Yu Jiaren deliberately flattered Xia Zhiying, saying, "Xia Assistant, why don't you help me think of the Weibo post too? I don't trust those marketing accounts. With your abilities, this shouldn't be a difficult task for you, right?"
Now, naturally, Xia Zhiying has become the scapegoat.
Xia Zhiying pushed open the door to the lounge with a blank expression. As soon as she stepped inside, a sharp gust of wind carrying something slammed towards her.
At the same time, Chu Yuexuan angrily rebuked, "Xia Zhiying, I asked you to do something, and you just pretend to comply and then deliberately incite netizens to attack Jiaren?"
