After Divorce, Hidden Marriage Husband Became Addicted to Me-Chapter 19 - 18: Tang Xi, It’s Actually You!_2
Chapter 19 - 18: Tang Xi, It's Actually You!_2
She spent half an hour in the hospital room, giving Qin Jianlan a massage while he was still in a coma; although he was unconscious, the regular care could not be neglected. Upon seeing this, Auntie Rong sighed to herself, wondering how such a good and kind young mistress could be so disfavored by the young master...
Soon, Tang Xi left. Qin Jianlan was also in the First Hospital, but their wards were not on the same floor; after crossing a garden, Tang Xi returned to the thoracic surgery ward.
-
One o'clock in the afternoon.
Qin Jianlan's hospital room.
Fu Tingzhou looked at the pastries on the bedside table and asked, "Did someone come to visit mother?"
Auntie Rong replied hesitantly, "I...this...."
She stuttered, afraid of provoking Fu Tingzhou's displeasure.
After all, the last time the young mistress and young master had parted on bad terms.
Fu Tingzhou's face darkened, seemingly knowing who had come. He said to Xu Ze, "Throw it out."
Auntie Rong hurriedly intervened, "Young master... you misunderstood the young mistress, she really is a very kind girl. During these three years you were abroad, she almost came every week, helping to change madam's dressings and wipe her body, assisting me in taking care of the lady..."
"If she is as kind-hearted as you say, she wouldn't have forced my mother, demanding that I marry her."
"Since she often comes, you should have her contact information. Tell her to pick a time to get the divorce." These past few days, he tried contacting her, but found her phone was switched off all the time; he figured she probably didn't want the divorce and was intentionally dragging it out.
Auntie Rong was alarmed, "This... how could you, young master..."
"If the lady wakes up, she would be heartbroken. Everything the lady does is for your benefit, young master. The young mistress is kind-hearted and a good match for you."
"It seems Auntie Rong that you've been caring for my mother for so long that you've grown senile. Since you like that woman so much, as of today, you can resign. I will arrange for a professional nurse to take care of my mother."
Auntie Rong knew that the young master's orders were not to be changed. Clenching her teeth, she said, "Fine, I'll contact the young mistress for you... but please reconsider, young master."
Under Fu Tingzhou's gaze, Auntie Rong had no choice but to call Tang Xi.
The call was just connected.
Fu Tingzhou directly said in an indifferent and nonnegotiable tone, "Tomorrow morning at ten, the Civil Affairs Bureau. Let's get divorced."
Tang Xi was startled, seemingly not expecting Fu Tingzhou to call her using Auntie Rong's phone.
"I have to work tomorrow, and rest on Friday."
"All this talk, isn't it just about the money? Name your price."
All these talks about work were excuses. He'd called her multiple times with no answer; she was obviously avoiding him just to stay in the position of Mrs. Fu for the money.
Tang Xi clenched her phone.
Her lips suddenly turned pale.
After half a minute, she took a deep breath, "Fine... I..."
She gritted her teeth, "500,000."
With this, mom Tang could be saved.
Fu Tingzhou knew it; this woman was dodging him everywhere just to ask for more money. Now her true colors were shown, and he felt disgusted, "Fine, if I don't see you at the entrance of the Civil Affairs Bureau tomorrow, you're dead!"
After hanging up, he looked at Auntie Rong, "You see clearly now, haven't you? This is the kind-hearted woman you talked about?"
This woman, with her guise of kindness, had been fooling his mother completely.
All for money!
The next morning.
Having just finished her night shift, Tang Xi raised her hand, rubbing her sore neck.
After changing her clothes, she prepared to have breakfast and rush to the Civil Affairs Bureau.
Her phone started to ring.
Updat𝓮d from frёewebnoѵēl.com.
It was from Su Mengshu.
She didn't answer. After the phone rang three times, she finally picked up, "What is it?"
"Just reminding you not to forget, to deposit blood for me."
Tang Xi's fingers clenched tightly, she took a deep breath and hung up the phone.
One last time, Tang Xi, this is the last time.
After today, she would be free.
After the divorce, and getting the money for mom Tang's kidney transplant, she would submit her papers to apply for the university's study abroad program, leave North City and leave the Su Family.
After signing the voluntary blood donation agreement, Tang Xi arrived at the blood station; the female nurse who drew her blood recognized her, "You've been coming here quite frequently, at this rate, you'll break down."
Tang Xi smiled faintly, as if seeing the morning sun.
Her pale cheeks had shallow dimples, but it was a happy smile, "In the future, I probably won't be coming anymore."
As the needle entered the vein in her arm, Tang Xi looked at her arm, bruised with marks from multiple punctures, looking somewhat frightful.
Finally, she could be free.
After being Su Mengshu's walking blood bank for 15 years, she finally saw the light.
As she walked out of the blood donation station, Tang Xi's steps were a bit unsteady; she raised her hand to her forehead, suppressing waves of dizziness, and raised her head to look at the sky. The weather in May wasn't too hot, but Tang Xi felt wrapped in the warmth of liberation.
Indulging herself today, she took a taxi to the Civil Affairs Bureau.
She had arrived only two minutes earlier when a black luxury business car slowly approached.
After the car stopped, Fu Tingzhou got out.
He looked at Tang Xi, and his expression noticeably changed for an instant.
Tang Xi stood straight, looking at him, with pale lips and a faint smile, a smile of liberation, "Let's go in."
He seemed somewhat astonished, and after a few seconds, the surprise on the man's face turned into shock, his icy eyes filled with tempestuous rage.
Tang Xi stood tall, "You set the appointment for Wednesday, and here I am."
Xu Ze was even more shocked, mouth agape.
The young mistress was... Tang Xi?
My God!
This!!
He had investigated before, finding that the young mistress was an orphan girl from a welfare institute that had been personally assisted by the lady, surnamed Tang. He could never have imagined that this person was Tang Xi?
Fu Tingzhou's face showed cracks, veins on his forehead bulging, his hands clenched into fists, as if gritting his teeth, he murmured the name, "Tang Xi, it's you?"
