“Then you should bring him over, let mom have a look.”

“He…

is very busy with work, when he’s free…

I’ll definitely bring him over to see you.”

Tang Xi wore a smile on her face, she tried hard to make her smile natural and joyful.

She did not want to deceive Tang Jingyun but she felt helpless, thinking to herself if Tang Jingyun insists on meeting, she might pay someone to play the role.

Telling a lie once, means having to keep up with it forever.

“I want to see our little Xi’s boyfriend, if he’s suitable, we can settle things this year, then I can be at ease.”

“Mom…

Alright, I’ll bring him over in the next few days when I have time.”

Tang Jingyun simply nodded with a smile.

Seeing her looking somewhat fatigued, Tang Shiyue hurriedly smoothed things over, “Mom, I’ve met sister’s boyfriend, he’s really outstanding and treats sister well.

Don’t worry about sister.”

“You even dare to talk, you’re the one making people worry, do you know your absence recently scared mom…

scared me to death…” As Tang Jingyun spoke, she started to wipe her tears, and Tang Shiyue quickly embraced her.

Seeing this, Tang Xi said she was going out to fetch water, and walked out carrying a kettle.

She didn’t go to fetch water, instead, she sat down on a chair at the side.

Not far away, Fu Tingzhou was watching her.

The woman had her head lowered; her whole person seemed fragile, just a slip of a figure, her black hair covering her brows and eyes, it was unclear what she was thinking but she seemed enveloped by a silent stillness and sadness.

Among the bustle of patients and doctors moving around her, it was as if she was inside a transparent glass cover, broken yet peaceful.

Fu Tingzhou’s features were stern, but his gaze did not leave her, his eyes growing darker.

After leaving the hospital, Tang Xi made a phone call to Xiao Chi, but she hung up before the call went through.

She really was panicking, how could she think of having Xiao Chi pretend to be her boyfriend, after hesitating for a moment, she dialed the phone of a male colleague in her department.

“Doctor Zhao, are you free tomorrow?

Help me with a favor…” Tang Xi briefly explained the situation, the person on the other end immediately said, “I thought it was something serious, don’t worry little Tang, I’ll come over tomorrow.”

The next morning, Tang Xi saw Zhao Tianqi in front of the traditional medicine hospital.

Zhao Tianqi is a resident doctor in thoracic surgery, four or five years older than Tang Xi, with a scholarly and gentle appearance, not particularly handsome but very approachable.

He is very popular in the hospital.

Seeing him carrying a box of milk and some supplements, Tang Xi immediately said, “You didn’t have to go through all this trouble, you’re helping me, how can I let you spend money.”

“It’s no trouble, how can I come visit Auntie empty-handed?” Zhao Tianqi looked at Tang Xi, “Let’s go inside, little Tang.”

Meanwhile,

Fu Tingzhou walked into the ward.

In Tang Jingyun’s ward, he observed the room, where all five beds were occupied by patients with their family members nearby, the small space seemed crowded.

Besides the persistent smell of disinfectant typical in a hospital, there was a mix of other smells that were not pleasant.

And Tang Jingyun was lying on an added bed at the very back.

He walked over.

His eyes landed on the woman lying in the bed, around 40 years old, thin-framed, her condition seemed fairly good as she sat knitting wool, unaware of someone approaching.

“Young man, who are you looking for?”

A family member of the patient in the next bed looked at Fu Tingzhou, as this man’s physique and looks were too outstanding and easily attracted attention.

Tang Jingyun looked up.

Fu Tingzhou walked over.

Tang Jingyun was somewhat surprised.

Someone came looking for her?

“You are….”

Fu Tingzhou spoke calmly, “What is your relation to Tang Xi?

What is your relationship with her?”

“You are…

you know Xiao Xi?

You are…” Tang Jingyun said, “You are her boyfriend, right?”

Fu Tingzhou frowned.

Tang Jingyun immediately smiled with joy, somewhat flustered and caught off guard by meeting Xiao Xi’s boyfriend under such circumstances.

She didn’t want her illness to hold Xiao Xi back, as these days many people don’t want their partners to have parents who are seriously ill.

Tang Jingyun spoke gently, looking at him, clearly very satisfied, not having expected Xiao Xi to find such an outstanding boyfriend.

She felt reassured now.

“I am her mother, just yesterday Xiao Xi mentioned you to me, you have been very busy at work.

I heard you also paid for the surgery, I really feel embarrassed…

please have a seat….”

Fu Tingzhou came over and sat down on the companion chair beside him, “Are you her biological mother?”

Hearing that, Tang Jingyun sighed.

“Xiao Xi probably hasn’t told you….

She’s a very sensitive and stubborn child.

She was different from the other girls in the orphanage from a young age…

I am not her birth mother, she was sent to my orphanage just after she was born.”

The man’s frown deepened.

She’s an orphan?

This was beyond his expectation.

The information showed that Tang Xi was the biological daughter of Su Kangrong and Xia Minjun.

Could it be that someone from the Su Family tampered with the records, altering the information?

But why would they do that?

Being adopted isn’t something…

that’s unspeakable.

And Su Kangrong and Xia Minjun seemed rather good to Tang Xi as well.

“Xiao Xi was adopted by the Su Family when she was eight years old and has been raised by them since then, still calling me ‘Mama Tang’…

My body is failing, renal failure, and she has always been raising money to see me treated.”

Fu Tingzhou, “Does the Su Family not care?

She is the second young lady of the Su Family, it shouldn’t be that they can’t even afford surgery costs.”

For Su Mengshu, a single outfit, a bag, a piece of jewelry costs tens of thousands.

Tang Jingyun’s throat tightened, she sighed deeply and shook her head.

After a few seconds of silence, she continued, “Those wealthy people, how could they be so kind…

Xiao Xi has always kept this from me…

She has endured a lot of humiliation alone, suffered a lot of hardships, who could truly care for a daughter without a blood relation, it’s all just a facade…”

“Thank you for being willing to spend money to treat me.

I also have some savings, so living normally won’t be an issue in the future.

It won’t affect you and Xiao Xi.

She is a good child, it’s just that I, her mother, am useless.

I’ve never raised her, yet she has to raise money to treat my illness…”

Listening to Tang Jingyun’s gradually hoarse voice.

A look of astonishment flashed through the man’s eyes.

He slowly clenched his fist.

In his mind, he recalled how she cautiously asked him for money, humble and at a loss, her face pale, what he said then was just an excuse to scam money, his words had shamed her…

She turned out to be the daughter adopted by Su Kangrong and Xia Minjun.

He had been to the Su Family a few times, each time Xia Minjun treated Tang Xi with utmost care, and Su Mengshu never mentioned that Tang Xi was adopted.

No wonder she looked surprised when he had called her Su Xi back then.

It was also not hard to imagine, she often wore simple clothes.

In stark contrast to Su Mengshu, who wore luxury brands, they were completely different.

“She…” the man slowly began, his voice a bit hoarse, “Why did the Su Family adopt her.”

If one chooses to adopt, they should treat her well.

Tang Jingyun was somewhat choked up, “It’s all my fault, I initially thought the Su Family really wanted to adopt a girl, since Su Kangrong had supported the orphanage, I thought his family was kind…

but it turns out, they adopted Xiao Xi because…”
