Chapter 124 - 117: She Wants to Go to Ningjiang

Chapter 124: Chapter 117: She Wants to Go to Ningjiang

Su Mengshu arrived at the Fu Family home.

This was her first time here, and beholding the splendor and magnificence before her, even a casual white porcelain teacup was exceptionally exquisite and translucent, and not without considerable value.

The thought that all this would be hers in the future brought an uncontrollable smile to Su Mengshu’s face.

Fu Yuanshan came down the stairs, only to see the greed on Su Mengshu’s face.

His face darkened, unable to fathom how his own grandson could have fallen for this woman?

Moreover, she was Tang Xi’s sister!

This was simply absurd!

He took a seat on the couch.

Su Mengshu looked uneasily at the imposing Fu Yuanshan. The elder of the Fu family exuded an authority that wasn’t angry but commanded respect, and his presence frightened her.

"Grandpa Fu, Tang Xi and I are indeed sisters, but she was adopted by my family... not born... My parents have always taken good care of Tang Xi as their own. I didn’t know at first that Tang Xi was Tingzhou’s secret wife..."

Fu Yuanshan remained silent.

The silence persisted in the living room.

Su Mengshu trembled, "I... I truly love Tingzhou..."

Fu Yuanshan observed the woman before him, "I heard it was you who saved Tingzhou?"

Su Mengshu immediately said, "Yes, it was me... It was an emergency situation, and meeting Tingzhou was also fate."

Expressionless, Fu Yuanshan commanded, "For this, you have my gratitude. Here is a card; take it and fill in any amount that satisfies you. You are aware, Tingzhou is married already. From now on, you should no longer appear by his side."

Hearing this, Su Mengshu instantly choked up with grievance, "Grandpa Fu, you have misunderstood. I have never been with Tingzhou for these worldly possessions; Tang Xi knows... they are an agreement marriage, and once Aunt Qin recovers, they will get divorced. Tang Xi is aware of all this..."

Fu Yuanshan was shocked, "What did you say? Agreement marriage?"

Su Mengshu fell to the ground with a ’thump’, crying bitterly and looking pitiful, "Yes, Tang Xi and Fu Tingzhou are an agreement husband and wife. Initially, Aunt Qin needed surgery, and Tingzhou had to get married reluctantly to give Aunt Qin peace of mind. They have been secretly married and now that Aunt Qin is recovering, they will soon divorce. Tingzhou doesn’t like her at all... Tingzhou and I have expressed our love for each other, we cherish each other dearly, Grandpa Fu, I beg you, please don’t tear us apart..."

"I...." Su Mengshu bit her red lip, throwing out her trump card, "I am pregnant..."

"What?" Fu Yuanshan stood up abruptly, his face instantly grim.

The Fu family valued progeny deeply; their initial decision to let Fu Tingzhou live abroad was a guilt they always carried.

Now, seeing Su Mengshu’s pitiful sobbing, Fu Yuanshan felt a sudden headache. He had thought this woman by Fu Tingzhou’s side was merely a fleeting fancy, but it turns out she was pregnant, and moreover, Tingzhou and Tang Xi would soon get an agreement divorce.

It seems that Qin Jianlan is also recovering slowly...

Su Mengshu’s words were likely the truth.

Considering this, Elder Fu sighed. He was quite satisfied with Tang Xi, who had once saved his life; Tang Xi’s temperament was serene and gentle. But what could he do if his grandson’s heart was not with her?

Fu Yuanshan, softening his tone, let her leave first. Su Mengshu knew she had won.

Now, she had been acknowledged by the Fu family.

As long as Tang Xi leaves, the position of the young mistress of the Fu family will soon be hers.

Leaving the Fu family estate, Su Mengshu promptly took out her phone and dialed Fu Tingzhou’s number. Her tone changed immediately as she sobbed softly, "Tingzhou, Grandpa Fu suddenly found me and told me to leave you, I was so scared, I had no choice but to reveal that you and Tang Xi are in an agreement marriage and will soon divorce... I’m sorry, it’s all my fault."

On the other end, Fu Tingzhou remained silent for a few seconds, "I know, you go back and rest first."

It wasn’t even two minutes after hanging up with Su Mengshu’s call when Fu Yuanshan rang. Fu Tingzhou stood before the floor-to-ceiling window, overlooking the traffic below, "Grandfather, the one I’m going to marry is Su Mengshu; I’ll handle things with Tang Xi."

Fu Yuanshan said, "Tingzhou, you need to think this through carefully. Marriage is no trifle matter."

"Mengshu saved me; I owe her a great debt. If it weren’t for her rescue during the earthquake, I might not be here today," Fu Tingzhou said, his voice heavy with gravity.

He actually knew what kind of person Su Mengshu was; her exterior gentleness and kindness were nothing but an illusion. Through their interactions, he had noticed her prideful and arrogant nature. Yet... he could tolerate it all.

Because she saved him.

Tang Xi returned home from work.

There, she saw an unfamiliar luxury car parked outside her home, her intuition telling her that the car’s owner was here for her.

She took a deep breath and slowly walked over.

When she recognized the person sitting inside the car, she paused in surprise, "Mr. Fu, senior?"

Housekeeper Lao opened the car door, "Young mistress, please get in the car; the master has something to discuss with you."

Feeling somewhat uneasy, Tang Xi got into the car, "Gr... Mr. Fu, senior, do you need me for something?"

Fu Yuanshan gave her a thoughtful look, then turned to gaze outside the window, "You live here? Does Tingzhou know about this?"

"Yes."

"It seems that you and Tingzhou really are a couple in name only. Once Qin Jianlan’s health improves, you’ll divorce?"

Tang Xi didn’t know how Mr. Fu, senior, had learned of these matters, but in that moment, she nodded, "Yes, I will divorce Mr. Fu."

Fu Yuanshan’s expression darkened, "The more I hear, the more ludicrous it becomes! But perhaps it’s for the best. Given the large gap between your status and Tingzhou’s, after your divorce, as compensation, the villa I’ve given you will remain yours. As for the shares, if you’re agreeing to a divorce, they will all return to Tingzhou’s hands, you don’t care about them, right?"

Tang Xi shook her head.

She never intended to claim them in the first place.

"Mr. Fu, senior, I don’t want the villa either... If possible, I hope Mr. Fu, senior, could do me a favor..."

The old gentleman briefly raised his eyelids, indicating for her to continue.

"I want to, with Mr. Fu, senior’s help, prepare a household registration in another city. After divorcing Mr. Fu, I intend to leave North City."

Fu Yuanshan frowned, "Oh, you’re leaving?"

Tang Xi nodded affirmatively, having already planned everything out. Right now, it was early in the pregnancy, the bulge in her belly not yet noticeable, but in two more months, she wouldn’t be able to hide it, "Yes."

Fu Jingrong could transfer her out of thoracic surgery; she might just as easily find some pretext to have her leave the First Hospital.

These wealthy individuals could easily crush all her defenses with just a word.

She didn’t want to be an ostrich, but for the child in her womb...

She longed for a peaceful and stable life even more.

"Oh? Where do you plan to go? I’ll have Housekeeper Lao start on your residence permit right now."

After a moment of thought, Tang Xi said, "Ningjiang City."

She wanted to go to Ningjiang City.
