After Divorce, Hidden Marriage Husband Became Addicted to Me
Chapter 144 - 130: Shattered Jade

Chapter 144: Chapter 130: Shattered Jade

The man’s face was grim, not a trace of joy could be seen on his handsome features as he stared intently at Tang Xi, then shifted his gaze to Xu Yiran, his voice low and filled with irrepressible anger, "Little Fourth, I just divorced this woman, and here you are hugging her. Aren’t you showing too little respect to me, your third brother?"

Xu Yiran fearlessly met his gaze, "Since Third Brother has already divorced her, pursuing her is completely lawful and reasonable."

Tang Xi struggled to break free from Xu Yiran’s hold.

She looked at him with a kind of anxious pleading.

Xu Yiran, let go.

What are you doing?

I’m not your girlfriend...

But Xu Yiran held her hand firmly, giving her no chance to resist or argue, "Tang Xi, the man in front of you has divorced you. He’s now going to marry Su Mengshu! He has brought you so much pain, have you forgotten all about it?"

Tang Xi’s breath hitched.

She looked at Xu Yiran and slowly reached out to gently pat his arm, hoping he would calm down.

Xu Yiran’s voice deepened, "You’ve divorced Tang Xi, she has nothing to do with you anymore. Tang Xi came here today in the capacity of my girlfriend to wish you happiness on your engagement, Third Brother!"

He didn’t want this foolish woman to get hurt anymore.

She was not in Third Brother’s eyes.

This foolish woman came over today as well.

She came just to be insulted for no reason.

Even though she couldn’t speak out, the torment made it so.

Seeing Xu Yiran protecting Tang Xi like this ignited Fu Tingzhou’s rage.

"Tang Xi, is this your goal? You quickly divorce me and immediately find someone else, you should never have seduced my brother. It seems I was too kind to let you out of the detention center so soon. I should have made you reflect and learn your lesson there! Such a small hardship is certainly not enough for you!"

"I, Fu Tingzhou, will never fall for a scheming and vicious woman like you!"

"Since you want to be with Xu Yiran, fine! I’ll let you be!"

Su Mengshu’s eyes flickered, and she quickly took hold of Fu Tingzhou’s arm, "Right, Tingzhou, it was just a small lesson in there for her. After all, she caused us to lose our baby; it was right to make her suffer a bit, to teach and punish her."

In that moment, Fu Tingzhou’s entire attention was on the two before him, not heeding what Su Mengshu had said.

Meanwhile, Tang Xi’s eyes widened slowly.

What?

This means...

Her throat was—

Tang Xi opened her mouth, looking at Fu Tingzhou in shock and despair.

It was him...

She should have realized it earlier.

Why the policewoman hesitated and dared not investigate, why despite the presence of surveillance everywhere, the truth couldn’t be uncovered. She saw Weng Yan poison her voice, but the policewoman still released Weng Yan.

It was all because of this man’s orders.

She knew it, Weng Yan, a mere girl from the streets, wouldn’t dare do such a thing...

Unless she had the backing of someone powerful and influential.

But Tang Xi never expected that person to be Fu Tingzhou.

Right... It was this man who personally had her sent to prison.

What would he not dare to do?

In his eyes, she was a venomous woman who had caused Su Mengshu to miscarry...

There was no longer any light in her eyes.

In her palm, although it was a smooth Jade Pendant, she now felt as though it was cutting into her flesh painfully.

Tang Xi took a step back absent-mindedly.

She looked fearfully at the man in front of her.

Xu Yiran’s voice was exceptionally firm, "Third Brother, I call you Third Brother one last time. I won’t let anyone hurt Tang Xi again!"

Ji Chenzhi quickly stepped forward, "Little Fourth, have you lost your mind? Everyone, calm down!"

Xu Yiran, "Second Brother, I’m sorry."

Ji Chenzhi grew anxious, "Third Brother... you... it’s your engagement party today..."

Tang Xi felt utterly weak, a sharp pain emanating from deep within her throat, and she felt explosively uncomfortable.

She raised a hand to her neck, which felt extremely painful.

It was as if she was back on that night again.

Weng Yan whispered in her ear, who did you offend that you shouldn’t have.

This time, it’s just a small lesson for you!

Tang Xi was trembling violently.

Xu Yiran noticed Tang Xi’s condition and held her shoulders, "What’s wrong..."
