Chapter 181 A Heart Flutter
Li Tingxi gave her a cold glare, and Lu Chennuan shrank back in fear, not daring to say another word.
"Are you hurt?" Li Tingxi walked over, pulled Su Youling into his arms, and swept her up and down with a worried and sharp gaze. His face was very ugly.
If I don't keep an eye on her, someone will always try to harm Su Youling. These people deserve to die.
Seeing the look on his face that seemed to want to kill Lu Chennuan, Su Youling grabbed Li Tingxi's arm and shook her head slightly, "You came just in time, I'm fine."
She touched her neck, the feeling of suffocation still vivid in her mind. The Lu family really produces a lot of madmen. She had only met Lu Chennuan once, so where did this overwhelming hatred come from?
"You rest first, I'll take care of her." Li Tingxi pulled Su Youling to sit on the bed, and then, still worried, pinched her all over to make sure that apart from the choking marks on her neck, there were no other wounds. Only then did he feel a little relieved, but his expression was still very bad.
"Qin He!" Li Tingxi called out loudly. Qin He immediately pushed open the door and came in. He glanced at Lu Chennuan, who was huddled in the corner trembling, frowned, and quickly came over and whispered, "President, the entire hospital has been screened. A newly hired department head is Lu Chennuan's suitor. It was with his help that the news leaked..."
"Kick him out of B City and never let him appear in this industry again," Li Tingxi said coldly. "He doesn't deserve it."
"Yes." Qin He pursed his lips, thinking to himself that this person had truly gone down this path of being a simp and ended up with nothing. "Then, Lu Chennuan..."
Lu Chennuan shuddered, scrambled to her feet, but dared not approach. She said, her voice trembling with fear, "Li Tingxi, I am the young lady of the Lu family. It is true that you can make a name for yourself in City A, but the Lu family is deeply rooted in City B. Don't think that you can really cripple the Lu family just by climbing up to the Yin family... If you dare to touch me, the Lu family will never let you off the hook."
Li Tingxi let out a disdainful sneer.
Qin He shook his head slightly. This Miss Lu was being stubborn in front of the president. Wasn't she just asking for trouble?
Seemingly considering it a waste of time to talk to a woman with mental issues, Li Tingxi didn't even glance at Lu Chennuan and coldly said, "Break her hands! Check the hospital room's surveillance footage and prosecute her for murder!"
"You...you dare!" Lu Chennuan looked at Li Tingxi's cold and ruthless profile. No matter how loudly she roared, she couldn't seem to get him to look at her. She panicked and became flustered. "Li Tingxi, President Li! We are all businessmen. Why would you ruin your life for a socialite?"
Su Youling narrowed her eyes, her expression dangerous.
Li Tingxi finally turned his head and glanced at her. "A social butterfly?"
Seeing that Li Tingxi finally reacted, Lu Chen was overjoyed and quickly walked over to say, "It's Su Youling! I know she used to be with you, but she took your benefits and thrived at Yitao Culture. She started going back to her old ways, seducing men everywhere. Before the Yin family, Su Youling had already been involved with Lu Han. She even went to Lu Han's club alone late at night. Otherwise, how could they have gotten together?"
A dark storm raged in Li Tingxi's eyes, and a mocking smile played on his lips as he looked at her as if she were a dead person.
Lu Chennuan hadn't realized that she had finally found an outlet for her emotions and wanted to smear Su Youling in front of Li Tingxi as much as possible: "It's not just Lu Han, there are so many rich young men in his club, and Shi Yan... all these men are obsessed with Su Youling. Who knows how she managed to hook up with so many rich young men in private, trying to take a shortcut to rise to the top!"
"Have you said enough?" Li Tingxi's fist clenched silently. He took a step forward, expressionless, exuding a bloodthirsty aura.

The hostility.
Qin He subconsciously took a step back, wanting to persuade her but not daring to, wishing he could stuff a rag into Lu Chennuan's mouth.
That's incredibly tactless.
Su Youling frowned, looking at Li Tingxi's cold back, her lips moved, and her gaze fell on the ring on her finger.
Li Tingxi joined forces with the Yin family to deal with the Lu family in order to avenge her.
However, this has already affected B City's interests, and the local chamber of commerce will not let it go easily. If Li Tingxi does not want to become the target of public criticism, then he needs to keep a low profile as much as possible. He should let Shi Yan handle the things that might offend people on behalf of the Yin family in order to clear the Li family's name.
At this critical moment, Lu Chennuan cannot afford to get into trouble with Li Tingxi.
Just as she was about to speak to stop Li Tingxi, she heard Lu Chennuan recklessly say, "President Li, I know you're avenging Su Youling because of your pride as a man, and perhaps you still have some old feelings for her, but this woman isn't worth all this trouble. As long as you agree to stop, I guarantee the Lu family will give you unimaginable rewards—huge benefits that ten thousand Su Youlings couldn't buy. Why let the Yin family benefit for nothing?"
Lu Chennuan was secretly very pleased with herself.
She came with two plans.
If Su Youling is sensible and can persuade Li Tingxi to stop, then the Lu family can remain unscathed with minimal cost.
If Su Youling doesn't know what's good for her, she'll have Su Youling under her thumb and then offer huge benefits to entice Li Tingxi to cooperate with the Lu family.
Even if he weren't a businessman, a normal man wouldn't give up such a great opportunity that seemed like a windfall for a dispensable mistress.
Li Tingxi is a notorious ruthless businessman who will do anything for profit, so why would he give up such a good opportunity?
No matter how you calculate it, she won this round.
She wanted Su Youling to see reality—the background and foundation of the Lu family were incomparable to that of a lowly person like her who had risen to power through her looks.
Su Youling paused, sat back on the bed, and unconsciously stroked the ring. Her eyes seemed calm and still, but beneath them lay untold turmoil.
What will Li Tingxi choose?
If they can successfully win over the Lu family at this time, then Li Qidong will no longer pose any threat to Li Tingxi.
At the Li family, he would no longer be isolated and helpless, nor would he frequently encounter difficulties from those old directors.
"Idiot." To everyone's surprise, Li Tingxi suddenly kicked Lu Chennuan in the back of the knee, forcing her to fall to her knees on the cold floor in pain, her face contorted in agony.
Lu Chennuan exclaimed in disbelief, "You! Li Tingxi, what do you mean by this...?"
"A thousand Lu families couldn't compare to my wife!" Li Tingxi lowered his head, coldly looking down at this arrogant and foolish woman, his tone icy and sarcastic, "And what are you to talk to me?"
Su Youling's eyelashes trembled, and she subconsciously looked up at Li Tingxi's tall and upright back.
She used to think that this person was aloof, difficult to deal with, and had a bad temper, but without realizing it, she had subconsciously come to regard Li Tingxi as her support.
Just seeing his figure seems to bring me peace of mind.
She loosened the ring, and the corners of her lips unconsciously curved into a sweet smile, a sweetness that bubbled up from the depths of her heart.
Unable to block it, unable to escape it, a bubble rain keeps falling over my heart.
This feeling of being suddenly thrilled makes your heart race.
