After Divorce, Hidden Marriage Husband Became Addicted to Me-Chapter 2: The Secret Husband

"Mom and Dad, I'm full. I'm going upstairs first."

Watching Tang Xi's retreating figure, Xia Minjun disdainfully said, "If we hadn't adopted her, the daughter of a murderer wouldn't have had the chance to go to college and become a doctor. You don't realize how calculating this girl is. Before, when Dean Fu's son Cheng Yunlang showed interest in Mengshu, Tang Xi deliberately made contact with him."

"Mom and Dad, Cheng Yunlang is in the past for me, and as for Cheng Yunlang, if Tang Xi likes him, I'll let her have him."

Xia Minjun became anxious, "How can that be alright? He is the Dean's son."

"Oh, Mom and Dad, my new boyfriend is much more impressive than Cheng Yunlang, he is...." Thinking of her boyfriend's distinguished status, Su Mengshu shyly smiled, "I won't tell you more, when his health gets better, he said he will visit the Su Family in person. You better prepare well and not embarrass me."

Xia Minjun hurriedly asked, "Who is this big shot, Mengshu, tell Mom and Dad..."

-

Tang Xi returned to her bedroom, which was in the attic. The Su Family lived in an old villa, with a small attic above the third floor.

It was originally a storage space but became her bedroom after she was adopted.

It's cold in the winter and stuffy in the summer.

She took a bath, carefully avoiding the wound on her back.

Her cellphone buzzed twice.

It was a text message.

"Young mistress, young master has returned to the country."

Tang Xi sighed after seeing the message and tossed the phone aside.

Fu Tingzhou is back!

Who would have thought, Tang Xi had been married for two years, her husband being Fu Tingzhou, the second young master of the North City Fu Group, the future helmsman of the Group.

Two years ago, financial media estimated Fu Tingzhou's worth to be over three hundred billion, and now, even more so.

However, very few people are aware of this marriage.

Neither Su Kangrong nor Xia Minjun knew about it.

Updated from freewёbnoνel.com.

Fu Tingzhou's mother, Qin Jianlan, had been involved in charity and philanthropy for decades, subsidizing many orphanages. She always took good care of Tang Xi, and regretted seeing Tang Xi being adopted by the Su Family, treating Tang Xi like an adopted daughter.

Three years ago, Qin Jianlan needed heart surgery with only a 30% chance of success. Before her critical condition, the dying Qin Jianlan wished for her son to marry Tang Xi.

Thus, a coerced marriage came about.

The one who sent the message was Aunt Rong, who had been taking care of Qin Jianlan.

Three years ago, the one who went with Tang Xi to the civil affairs bureau was Fu Tingzhou's lawyer.

Tang Xi received a preposterous, cold marriage certificate.

And the surgery for Qin Jianlan, it failed.

She never woke up and became a vegetative state, comatose to this day.

At that time, the Fu Family was in a turbulent and difficult situation, and Fu Tingzhou went far away to England.

During this period, Fu Tingzhou made one phone call to her.

"I don't care who you are, I don't even want to know who you are! I don't know what methods you used to deceive my mother into agreeing to this marriage, but I'm warning you, do not let anyone else know about our marital affairs. If I find out, I will make sure you die very gruesomely!"

Hearing the man's tone, Tang Xi knew he would kill her.

Now that he had returned, should she meet him once?

But thinking of this man's disdain for their marriage, Tang Xi felt restlessly irritated and turned over, deciding to stop thinking about it and to live her own life.

She and him, they were worlds apart.

People who did not belong to the same world.

It might be for the best that we don't interfere with each other.

-

It was a Friday. After work, Tang Xi received a text message from Aunt Zhang, telling her that there were guests at home and to buy some fresh fruit on her way back.

When she returned to the Su Family home, she saw a black Bentley parked in front of the house.

The Su Family was in the jewelry business in North City, but on a small scale. Last year, the jade market shrank severely, and the Su Family's net profit for the year was only ten million.

Such a luxury car was beyond the reach of the Su Family.

Walking in, the first thing she saw was a strikingly handsome man sitting in the living room, dressed in a black suit, looking sharp and dashing. His deep-set eyes were as cold and piercing as a hawk's, his nose high, and his thin lips exuded cold-blooded indifference.

Su Kangrong and Xia Minjun were carefully smiling at him, afraid of displeasing him.

Xia Minjun squeezed a smile into her eyes, feigning a motherly care, "Xixi is here."

Su Mengshu seemed quite proud as she stood up and walked over to Tang Xi's side, affectionately linking her arm, adopting the demeanor of a caring elder sister, "Xixi, let me introduce you, this is my boyfriend, Fu Tingzhou."

"Tingzhou, this is Xixi, my younger sister."

Tang Xi glanced at the man sitting on the couch, her pupils trembling slightly.

Upon hearing this name, she was stunned.

She had heard that Su Mengshu was dating a rich boyfriend.

But she didn't know that it was Fu Tingzhou.

The man on her marriage certificate had become Su Mengshu's boyfriend.

Her husband turned into a 'brother-in-law'.

At that moment, she didn't know how to react.

"Xixi, this is your sister's boyfriend. You should find an outstanding boyfriend just like your sister," Xia Minjun's face was all smiles as she knew that the Su Family had connected with the Fu Family. She couldn't wait to announce her daughter as the future Mrs. Fu.

Tang Xi pursed her lips slightly, her slender spine erect.

She looked at Fu Tingzhou, for the first time, so close, observing this man.

Fu Tingzhou lifted his head.

Their gazes collided—

The man's eyes were sharp and cold, making him seem distant and unfathomable like a deep cold well.

Tang Xi's heart throbbed violently, and she looked away, bowing her head.

He took out a card from his wallet and handed it over, his voice distinct, husky, and cold yet distant, "This is the first time we meet, and I didn't bring you any gifts. This is a shopping card for Wanlong International Mall, you can buy whatever you like."

Tang Xi did not take it.

She had not yet recovered from the shock of her husband turning into a brother-in-law.

On the side, Xia Minjun immediately said, "Xixi, you really don't know manners. Your sister's boyfriend is giving you a gift, you should accept it and thank... after all, Mr. Fu will be your brother-in-law in the future."

Tang Xi reached out, her fingers lightly touching the card.

It seemed to hold his warmth, sending a tremor through Tang Xi's hand.

The card fell to the ground.

She hurriedly bent down to pick it up.

Tang Xi said in a soft voice, "Thank you... brother-in-law...."

After speaking, she turned and headed toward the kitchen, while Aunt Zhang came carrying tea and bumped into her, "Aiya, are you alright, Miss Second?"
