Chapter 113: Chapter 109: His Phone Call

Tang Xi didn’t understand what Xiao Chi was talking about. She had a full schedule at work today, and a nurse was calling for her to see a patient, so Tang Xi had to say, "Xiao Chi, I’m quite busy right now. I don’t understand what you’re saying, I have things to do here."

Tang Xi hurried away and it was only about ten minutes later when she came out of the ward. She stretched her tired shoulders and saw Xiao Chi still waiting on the rest chair near the nurse’s station. As soon as he saw her come out, he quickly approached her, "Tang Xi, I know that your relationship with Fu Tingzhou is not ordinary. I’m begging you, please save Qiao Jing. It was her fault for troubling you last time, but she has already paid the price for it. Zhang Chen, who hurt you, is still in the hospital now. Just put in a few good words with Fu Tingzhou and ask him to spare the Qiao Family."

Tang Xi was somewhat stunned, and she frowned after hearing Xiao Chi’s words.

Looking at Xiao Chi’s anxious expression, Tang Xi said, "What are you talking about? I’m not quite following... What happened to Qiao Jing?"

"What happened to the Qiao Family?"

Xiao Chi looked at Tang Xi, "So you don’t know anything... It’s noon, let’s have lunch together, and I’ll explain it to you slowly."

After changing her clothes, Tang Xi went to a nearby Chinese restaurant with Xiao Chi.

Such a young master like Xiao Chi was probably dining in this kind of ordinary place for the first time. He looked somewhat uncomfortable, frowning, "That night, not long after Xu Yiran carried you away, Fu Tingzhou came. For your sake, he maimed Zhang Chen."

Tang Xi’s pupils dilated slightly.

Seeing Tang Xi’s expression, Xiao Chi was somewhat surprised, "Turns out you really don’t know anything. On the surface, Fu Tingzhou didn’t do anything to Jingjing, but these past few days, he’s taken over three companies under the Qiao Corporation in a crazy and ruthless manner, completely disregarding his own interests, and caused the Qiao Family to lose billions. The Qiao Family is now in a state of chaos under the leadership of the young master Qiao Henian, and he brought Qiao Jing to Fu’s to apologize, but they were turned away by Fu Tingzhou. The Qiao Family is now in complete disarray, Cheng Yunlang also firmly refused the marriage with the Qiao Family, and Jingjing, in desperation... attempted suicide..."

Tang Xi was surprised, What?

Xiao Chi said, "They discovered it in time, she has been rescued."

Tang Xi didn’t care about Qiao Jing’s life or death; what surprised her was Fu Tingzhou’s actions, which couldn’t possibly be for her... But how could that be?

"Young Master Xiao, what are you here for?" Not waiting for Xiao Chi to respond, Tang Xi chuckled sarcastically, "You can’t possibly expect me to make Fu Tingzhou back down, right? Or do you think that he did all this... for me? If so, I believe you have guessed wrong..."

"Fu Tingzhou did it for you! Tang Xi, I’m not an idiot. His actions of taking over the Qiao Corporation like a madman regardless of his own interests, anyone with clear eyes can see it. If not for you, how could he possibly... I know, I know it was Qiao Jing’s fault, and I was at fault too, but now the Qiao Family is already in turmoil over this, Jingjing has also paid the price for her own mistakes, I beg you, have a word with Fu Tingzhou and ask him to stop..."

Watching Xiao Chi slowly getting agitated, Tang Xi took a deep breath, her voice steady, "Young Master Xiao, I don’t know why you think that Fu Tingzhou is doing this to the Qiao Family because he wants to vent anger for me. Do you know what my relationship with Fu Tingzhou is?"

The woman even had a smile on her face, "To be precise, I will soon be his ex-wife... We are a couple by agreement, and we’re soon getting divorced, so it’s no use you coming to me."

Xiao Chi was stunned.

What?

He could think of many reasons. It was nothing more than Fu Tingzhou taking a liking to Tang Xi, but he could never imagine that Tang Xi, this ordinarily dressed and seemingly poor woman, was actually the wife of Fu Tingzhou?

He stood up, slightly stammering, "You... Are you joking with me?"

"I’m not lying to you. I am the wife arranged for him by his mother. He doesn’t like me, let alone love. So Young Master Xiao, you are overthinking. I have no other relationship with him, and he wouldn’t do these things for me. If you want to find someone who can speak to Fu Tingzhou, you should know, the one he likes is Su Mengshu."

After finishing speaking, Tang Xi calmly continued eating the food in front of her.

"Let’s go Dutch on this meal. I’ll go pay the boss first, and you can settle the rest,"

After saying that, Tang Xi stood up, grabbed her bag, and prepared to leave.

Xiao Chi grabbed her wrist, "Let me treat you, it’s not expensive..."

"No need," Tang Xi pulled her wrist away, "Mr. Xiao, don’t come to the hospital to find me in the future. I am not from the same world as you rich young masters, I can’t afford to play your high-end games."

Xiao Chi watched Tang Xi’s stubborn and slender figure, opened his mouth, but couldn’t say a word.

He had been used to smooth sailing all his life...

He’d never faced any setbacks.

Although he didn’t play as extravagantly as Zhang Chen and Zhao Yuanqi, he was never short of beautiful women either. Initially, pursuing Tang Xi was partly to stand up for Qiao Jing and partly to seek a change of taste.

He truly had never considered Tang Xi’s feelings...

Not long after Tang Xi left, a woman wearing a mask walked out of the restaurant and took out her phone, "Madam, I went to the hospital to get medicine today, and I saw the young master with that female doctor Tang Xi. They were dining together. The young master even actively held her hand..."

On the other end, Mei Huiru expressed her surprise, "What, really? Xu Mom, tell me more in detail."

"Really, that female doctor is quite attractive; she looks nice and has a great figure, and her demeanor is gentle and serene. No wonder the young master took an interest in her... In my opinion, she’s much prettier than Miss Qiao Jing..."

"My son, as long as he comes to his senses, that would be good. He doesn’t see who the Qiao Family has offended now. That’s Fu Tingzhou, who lost billions and even attempted suicide, now confined at home. If Chi’er can let go of Qiao Jing, he could marry anyone..."

-

Ever since Fu Tingzhou left her house in an unhappy state last time, she had not gone to see Qin Jianlan, but only quietly observed from outside the ward a few times.

If he thought that every time she went to see Qin Jianlan it was with an ulterior motive, then she might as well just quietly watch over Aunt Qin from outside.

She hasn’t visited for two days, and Rong Auntie called her.

The implication was whether she has been too busy recently and when she could find time to come over.

The word "busy" perhaps had really become a convenient excuse. She responded with a ’hmm’ saying she was very busy and recently too exhausted; Rong Auntie then told her to rest well and mentioned that Qin Jianlan asked her to tell her to take care of herself.

After hanging up, Tang Xi felt an intense sourness in her throat. She really wanted to rush over to see Aunt Qin right away.

In the afternoon, after getting off work, she didn’t have much appetite, and just had a bowl of porridge in the staff canteen before she lost her desire to eat.

On her way home, she took the bus as usual.

Her phone rang once, and she saw it was from Fu Tingzhou. For a moment, she hesitated and didn’t pick up immediately.
