Chapter 26 discusses his relationship with Su Nianqing.
Large tears soaked the white sheets.
Even the most indifferent and ruthless person like Li Tingze lost interest in seeing someone crying like a dead fish.
Moreover, Lin Zhi was wrapped in bandages.
It's not very convenient to implement.
It's hard to have a truly enjoyable time!
He didn't let Lin Zhi go immediately, but teased her for a while before stopping when she completely broke down emotionally.
Li Tingze's eyes were deep, and his voice carried an undeniable forcefulness.
He said, "Originally, I was planning to give you your freedom and let you do what you want. Since you have other thoughts about Shen Mubai, I can't let you go so easily and let another man benefit from it. After all, no one in Jingbei dares to take something from me, let alone a living person like you."
Lin Zhi's blood pressure instantly dropped to freezing.
The cold words didn't stop there; instead, they continued: "Even if you die, I must build a grave and erect a monument for you in my name as your husband. In this life, you can forget about leaving me."
Lin Zhi lay limply on the hospital bed, her eyes filled with tears as she looked at Li Tingze.
But she didn't let the tears fall immediately.
The excruciating pain in her heart was suffocating her.
He had clearly decided to set her free, but he still got jealous of Shen Mubai and imprisoned her in the cage of marriage again.
Why couldn't he just let her go this once?
Why is he always so cold and indifferent to her?
Lin Zhi did not reply. She slowly closed her eyes, refusing to communicate with Li Tingze.
She thought that if she didn't respond, everything he said wouldn't count.
Clearly, Li Tingze did not like this quiet.
The irritation rising in his chest made him speak again: "There's something I need to make clear to you. Shen Mubai isn't in charge of Shen's Jewelry right now. He only holds 35% of the shares, and he doesn't have absolute power in the group. I can acquire 50% of the shares from others with just a flick of my finger. Then, what do you think the Shen family will be called?"
Finally, Lin Zhi spoke up.
She didn't want to implicate any good people.
There's no need to involve others in what's between her and Li Tingze.
"So what? If I don't agree to come back to you, you'll threaten me by targeting the Shen family?" Lin Zhi smiled coldly and asked helplessly, "Li Tingze, is all you know how to do besides threaten me with money and power?"
Li Tingze did not reply immediately, but lowered his eyes and looked down at Lin Zhi.
He saw a self-deprecating bitterness on her face.
He ultimately didn't make any absolute statements, but instead said kindly, "Of course, I don't want to go to this point unless absolutely necessary. It mainly depends on your choice. If you're not satisfied with the benefits I gave you before, I can certainly offer more."
Lin Zhi already guessed what he was going to say.
Remain silent!
“I can not only buy back the Lin family from your father with 500 million, but I can also bring the Lin family back to life after it was sentenced to death, and I guarantee that it will reach the peak it was when your grandfather was in charge within a year.”
"Of course, you can choose not to accept it."
“But the Lin family’s debts have reached billions, which your father simply cannot repay. Your mother is still married to him, and if he runs away, all the debts will fall on your mother. In that case, your mother may not be able to withstand such a huge blow. If the creditors take legal action, your mother will also go to jail.”
Lin Zhi's face turned deathly pale after hearing this.
My head was buzzing.
She had no idea that the Lin family was facing such a severe crisis.
She originally thought that as long as she had 500 million, the Lin family could be saved, but she never expected that Wen Rongbin would dig such a big pit for her mother.
Sure enough, the man's reluctance to divorce was not without ulterior motives.
His slender fingers gently stroked her cheek, his voice softer than before: "Compared to your father, do you feel that I'm the only one in the world who treats you the best? At least, I spend real money, not on scheming."
Lin Zhi gave a bitter smile to her heart!
Despairingly, he said, "I have no other choice."
Li Tingze had anticipated that she would say such a thing.
As long as Lin Wanxin lives, Lin Zhi will never be truly free.
Not only him, but others also used her mother as leverage.
His methods of forcibly keeping her by his side were despicable, but it was still more satisfying than watching her happily laughing with other men.
Lin Zhi ultimately succumbed to the allure of money and power, and immediately agreed.
Li Tingze extended his hand and smiled calmly, "Mrs. Li, welcome back."
Lin Zhi squeezed his hand back, her heart filled with mixed emotions.
However, things aren't all that pessimistic. At least the Lin family is saved, and so is her mother.
Li Tingze hired a caregiver to look after Lin Zhi, but the caregiver was too young and not careful enough.
When the caregiver was wiping Lin Zhi's body, her movements were not gentle enough, and she touched Lin Zhi's wounds several times.
Lin Zhi silently endured the pain.
Li Tingze, sitting to the side, darkened his face.
He stood up and walked over to the caregiver, threw the towel in her hand to the ground, and said coldly, "I paid a lot of money to hire you to take meticulous care of my wife, not to clumsily hurt her."
The caregiver was afraid of him and quickly apologized, saying, "Mr. Li, I'm sorry, I will definitely be more careful next time."
"Ha, you want a next time!"
Li Tingze's eyes turned cold, and as the caregiver looked at him tremblingly, he roared, "Get out of here now!"
The caregiver was so frightened that she scrambled out of the ward.
Lin Zhi sighed silently and said helplessly, "You've driven the caregiver away, what am I supposed to do? Where am I supposed to find a new caregiver in the middle of the night?"
Li Tingze chuckled lightly: "You have one right in front of you, don't you want it?"
"You? Are you sure?"
Lin Zhi found it hard not to suspect him.
He was born with a silver spoon in his mouth, and his every need was met by dedicated servants.
How could he possibly serve her...
However, Lin Zhi underestimated his abilities, and even more so, his patience.
Li Tingze brought back a basin of warm water and specially changed to a soft towel, carefully wiping every inch of her skin.
His movements were gentle, but as he wiped her, his hands became restless and instead ignited a fire within her.
His lips seized hers, kissing her tenderly.
Lin Zhi didn't respond at first, but he gradually guided her to respond.
This kiss was just a fleeting touch.
After Li Tingze finished wiping her down, he took off his clothes and was about to squeeze into the bed when his phone rang at an inopportune moment.
The caller ID showed it wasn't Su's mother, but his assistant.
Li Tingze didn't try to avoid suspicion and pressed the speakerphone button.
The assistant stated bluntly, "Mr. Li, Miss Su has been refusing to cooperate with the surgery, insisting on meeting with you to discuss your relationship and marriage plans..."
Li Tingze looked at Lin Zhi, but Lin Zhi turned her head away indifferently.
He appeared extremely calm.
