Chapter 451 The Understanding and Kind-hearted Innocent Girl
Unfortunately, the joy didn't last long. The hospital contacted Su Youling, saying that Karina had woken up.
Feeling heavy-hearted, the two rushed to the hospital.
Qin He and Qin Yaoruo's car took a different route.
Qin He's plan was to take the tiger back to his own place, lock him up, and interrogate him thoroughly.
Before they even arrived at their destination, Qin Yaoruo suddenly said she had a stomachache and needed to get off the bus to use the restroom.
Qin He had no choice but to wait for her, but after waiting for a long time, she didn't come back, and he couldn't get through on the phone, so he had to go to look for her.
Unexpectedly, Qin Yao had deliberately used this as a diversionary tactic, and as soon as he left, she returned and took the tiger that had been locked in the trunk.
Qin He only realized he had fallen into a trap after receiving a WeChat message from Qin Yaoruo. He immediately sent people to look for her and informed Li Tingxi at the same time.
Li Tingxi and Su Youling had just gotten out of the car when they heard the news. He wasn't too surprised and adopted a laissez-faire attitude: "Don't you know her as her brother? Let her be. Let her take revenge herself to quell the hatred she's accumulated over the years."
Su Youling also figured out what had happened, gained a deeper understanding of Qin Yaoruo's vengeful nature, and appreciated the girl even more.
When Li Tingxi and Su Youling entered the ward, Shen Xiyue was still somewhat confused.
The moment she saw Li Tingxi's face clearly, her eyes instantly reddened: "Tingxi, I almost thought... I was going to die."
Looking at her tear-filled eyes, it would be impossible for Li Tingxi not to be moved.
After all, Karina was implicated because of him.
Thinking of this, he instinctively stepped forward and gently comforted her, "Don't worry, the culprit who attacked you has been caught and he will be punished accordingly. You just need to rest and recuperate now. I've arranged for someone to take care of Lele, so you don't need to worry about anything."
Shen Xiyue could no longer hold back her tears, looking at him with gratitude: "That's wonderful, this kind of person should be brought to justice!"
Su Youling had been observing her ever since she entered the room.
According to her thinking, if Karina really was Shen Xiyue, she would be afraid when she heard that the murderer had been caught, since she had hired someone to kill Li Lihua and then staged this self-inflicted injury.
But the woman in front of him showed no sign of nervousness.
Su Youling, who had initially been very confident in her judgment, was now somewhat undecided.
Was she wrong in her suspicions, or was Shen Xiyue just too good at pretending?
Feeling uneasy, Su Youling decided to continue observing for a while longer.
...
During the time Shen Xiyue was recuperating in the hospital, Li Tingxi arranged for a large number of people to protect her secretly in order to prevent any further accidents.
In order to find out any clues about her disguise, Su Youling offered to visit her often.
Shen Xiyue treated Su Youling exceptionally well and took the opportunity to suggest bringing Lele to live with them as well.
Li Tingxi simply arranged a hospital room for the mother and daughter, and he himself shuttled between the hospital and the company every day.
Su Youling went all out with her act, even having her aunt prepare soup and personally deliver it to the hospital.
Shen Xiyue looked embarrassed, grateful but also cautious: "Miss Rebecca, I offended you in the past because I was ignorant. I know you're forgiving me because of Tingxi, but this only makes me feel worse. You really don't need to be so..."

"Thank you for making the trip in person, Tingxi... President Li has arranged for a dedicated nutritionist."
Su Youling naturally didn't believe that someone could change their personality so quickly. She raised an eyebrow and deliberately said, "Miss Karina, you're not afraid that I'll put something in your soup to harm you, are you?"
Shen Xiyue's face paled slightly, and she looked at Li Tingxi with some unease, "Of course I didn't mean that."
Shen Xiyue's obvious glances at Su Youling made Li Tingxi feel somewhat uneasy.
Karina's occasional transgressions in the past had aroused his resentment, but her current state vaguely overlapped with that of the car accident five years ago, a pitiful state with no one to rely on, which made his deep-seated guilt intensify.
He immediately put his arm around Su Youling's shoulder and smiled as he tried to smooth things over: "Karina, Rebecca was just joking with you. Your injury was caused by me, and she was actually expressing her apology on my behalf."
Hearing his obvious protectiveness towards Su Youling in his words, Shen Xiyue quickly looked away from his hand on Su Youling's shoulder. The jealousy in her heart made it almost impossible for her to maintain her composure.
However, she hadn't lost her mind. She had come back from the brink of death after such a huge sacrifice, so she had to make the most of this opportunity and absolutely couldn't let all her previous efforts go to waste.
Su Youling, who had hoped to see her break down, was disappointed once again. However, her suspicions did not diminish at all; instead, they increased her apprehension.
Shen Xiyue's ability to disguise herself and endure for so long shows that she is indeed more cunning than she had imagined. However, she is also very good at enduring. Let's see who will give herself away first in the end.
Shen Xiyue unexpectedly met Su Youling's meaningful gaze, and her heart skipped a beat. Her smile became somewhat forced, but since her complexion was not good to begin with, it did not seem abrupt.
Li Tingxi hired the best medical team, and Shen Xiyue's health gradually improved under the care of a nutritionist.
Instead of being the happiest, Lele became sad and pitifully pleaded with Li Tingxi in a low voice, "Dad, I don't want to go abroad. Can you please not send me and Mom away?"
Although Li Tingxi softened at first, he did not lose his rationality.
Sending Karina and Lele abroad was a decision he made after careful consideration. As a husband and father, he had to be responsible for Su Youling and the children, so he couldn't keep a woman who clearly had impure thoughts about him by his side, even if he felt indebted to Karina.
Moreover, there was a precedent to learn from: Lele and the other children simply couldn't get along. Even if he wanted to make amends, he didn't want to wrong Su Youling and the children.
Therefore, Li Tingxi did not agree.
Lele was spoiled rotten. As soon as she heard that she was rejected, she immediately started to pester Li Tingxi with tears and sobs, trying to gain sympathy.
Shen Xiyue played the role of an understanding and innocent girl, first scolding Lele, and then somewhat reluctantly comforting Li Tingxi: "Tingxi, you don't need to worry about me and Lele. Since the murderer has been caught, and Lele and I are going abroad, there shouldn't be any danger."
Hearing her say that, Li Tingxi found it hard to be ruthless.
Although Tiger has been captured, the person behind him has not yet been brought to justice. This is because Karina and Lele are going abroad, which is beyond his reach. Even if he arranges for people to protect them, he probably cannot completely guarantee their safety.
So Li Tingxi relented: "There's no rush to go abroad. You and Lele should stay here for now."
