After Divorce, Hidden Marriage Husband Became Addicted to Me-Chapter 15: Paths Crossed, Yet Strangers

She wanted to check on Tang Xi's miserable condition in the 04 lounge, but never expected... As soon as she pushed the door open, she was dragged onto the bed by two thugs.

She had found these two thugs to disgrace Tang Xi, but why was she the one lying there?

Where was Tang Xi?

She picked up the clothes from the floor and put them on, then walked out, opening each lounge one by one, but no one was there.

She walked onto the deck and saw several young masters drunk and slumped over the tables, fast asleep, along with a few high society ladies she used to hang out with privately.

Three hours had already passed, and it was now midnight.

Su Mengshu took out her phone and dialed her fifth brother's number; on the other end, her fifth brother was almost boasting about his accomplishments and asked why he couldn't reach her phone.

The expression on Su Mengshu's face twisted, but she couldn't say a word. She couldn't let others know that she had been slept with by two thugs.

She hung up the phone and walked over to Xu Manxue. Seeing her drunk and passed out on the table stirred her anger, and she smacked Xu Manxue's face, "Wake up."

Xu Manxue opened her eyes, groggy, "Ah... Mengshu...."

"Where is Fu Tingzhou?? Where is Tang Xi?? Didn't I tell you to take Tang Xi to the second lounge?"

Xu Manxue burped, "Fu Tingzhou... oh... he left, his assistant said he came here after disembarking and was tired, so he left early. And Tang Xi... she also left..."

Hearing that Fu Tingzhou had left early, Su Mengshu breathed a sigh of relief.

It's just a pity that she missed such a good opportunity tonight. She didn't have many chances to interact with Fu Tingzhou...

She was like lifting a rock only to drop it on her own foot. Su Mengshu's beautiful face turned malevolent, Tang Xi, I have plenty of ways to deal with you. You can dodge once, but let's see if you can dodge a second time.

By the time she returned to the Su Family, it was already past two in the morning.

She took a bath, looking at the marks all over her body in the mirror, and the belated discomfort and pain told her what had happened tonight.

How could this happen...

Tang Xi raised her hand to rub her brow, as what happened tonight was completely beyond her expectations; she had never thought that she would... have a relationship with Fu Tingzhou.

With a faint sourness in her eyes, Tang Xi washed her body, her lips tightly pressed, her slender shoulders trembling slightly, and tears mixed with the warm water trickling down.

Lying in bed, she couldn't fall asleep for a long time.

Until the next day, Tang Xi ate breakfast in a distracted manner and then hurriedly went to the hospital.

Ruan Youqing saw the fatigue under her eyelids, "Did you not rest well?"

Tang Xi sighed, "Yeah, I had insomnia last night."

Ruan Youqing handed her a glass of water, "Cheer up, we have an early meeting later on. After the meeting, we'll have rounds to do, and after rounds, you can rest for a brief ten minutes."

Tang Xi smiled, "Hmm."

"Oh, let me use your phone, mine is out of battery. I need to call Zhao Yixing."

Tang Xi opened her bag only to find it empty save for keys and a wallet. Where was her phone?

Ruan Youqing saw her expression and took her bag, "Don't tell me you forgot to bring your phone."

Tang Xi hadn't checked her bag since returning last night... her phone...

Her lips pursed, "I've lost my phone."

Ruan Youqing knew that Tang Xi had been using the same phone for four years; it was very laggy, but she was reluctant to replace it. She only used it for simple office apps, making calls, and receiving text messages, not willing to spend money on a new phone.

"Lost it, could it be in the wrong place?"

Tang Xi raised her hand to her brow, suddenly feeling a headache. Really, when it rains, it pours, "I kept it in my bag..."

"Don't panic," Ruan Youqing said, borrowing a phone from her colleague Sister Sun and handing it to Tang Xi, "Your phone still has battery, right? Call your phone, maybe if someone kind found it, they'll return it."

-

Fu Building, President's Office.

The man's slender fingers played with an old-fashioned cell phone in his hand.

A ringtone started to play.

This cell phone, last night, he found inside his own suit.

The phone was buzzing with vibration.

The screen displayed the words 'Sister Sun'.

After the phone ringed once, it started ringing again.

Fu Tingzhou answered the call, but before he could speak, he heard a familiar female voice, soft, calm, with a touch of urgency, "Hello, this is my phone, I accidentally lost it, may I ask if you picked it up? Could you please return it to me... I've been using this phone for many years, it's outdated, it wouldn't sell for much second-hand... I'm willing to give you 500 yuan as thanks..."

On the other end, Tang Xi used Sister Sun's phone to ask again, "Are you listening?"

Fu Tingzhou listened to the familiar female voice, his dark eyes narrowed fiercely.

Thinking back to what happened last night, a darkness flashed in his eyes.

At that moment, there was a knock on the door; the man ended the call and threw the phone into a drawer.

A woman dressed in a white OL suit walked in, her smile was graceful as she approached the desk, "Tingzhou, you haven't been home for a while, dad said he wants you to come home for a meal this week."

The man's slender fingers tapped on the desk absentmindedly, his voice maintaining its usual indifference, "In the company, Vice President Ji, you should still address me as President Fu."

Ji Qingtan's beautiful face froze with her smile.

Then, hurt appeared in her eyes, "Tingzhou, must we be so estranged... We have known each other since we were young..."

Fu Tingzhou's face was expressionless, as he looked at Ji Qingtan with only indifference in his eyes, "Sister-in-law, when you chose my older brother three years ago, you should have understood that some matters, once you make a choice, you have already decided the outcome."

"You...you are blaming me..." Ji Qingtan's voice trembled, "Back then, I didn't... wasn't it because I was pressured by my family..."

The man sneered coldly, the corner of his lips carrying mockery, "Vice President Ji has said enough; you can leave now, I have no interest in reminiscing old times."

Ji Qingtan took a deep breath, and with grievances, she turned around and left.

Xu Ze knocked and entered, just in time to see Ji Qingtan leave. He walked up to Fu Tingzhou, "Sir, Miss Su is here."

Fu Tingzhou frowned slightly, "Have her wait in the reception room."

"Yes."

The reception room is on the same floor as the President's Office.

Su Mengshu sat on the sofa, feeling a bit nervous inside. She had calculated everything last night; she intended that after spending the night, she would pretend to lean weakly into Fu Tingzhou's arms. As long as they slept together, she would have an excuse to bring up the engagement.

She also didn't know if Fu Tingzhou would find out she was the one who drugged him last night.

Given Fu Tingzhou's character, if he knew she was pulling these kinds of tricks behind his back... he wouldn't let her off.

Her end would be miserable!

The sound of the door opening rang out, and Su Mengshu looked towards the entrance.

Immediately, she put on a smile.

"Tingzhou, I took the day off today, just thought I'd come and see you." She held a thermos, "This is chicken soup that the housekeeper stewed all night."

Fu Tingzhou 'hmm'ed, walked over, and sat down.

Su Mengshu felt somewhat guilty, cautiously gauging his mood, "Tingzhou, I'm sorry for drinking a bit too much last night, I didn't even realize when you left... I met many old friends I haven't seen in a long time, and my alcohol tolerance is bad, I got drunk after just a glass or two."

Mentioning last night, his face changed slightly.
