Chapter 167: Chapter 145: You Used to Call Her Third Sister-in-law, and You Will in the Future Too

"Miss Tang, the gentleman has agreed to break off his engagement with Su Mengshu, but he needs some time."

"I gave him time, but when I was being pressured, no one gave me any time."

Xu Ze was taken aback, seemingly not expecting the usually gentle Tang Xi to suddenly speak so sharply, "Miss Tang."

Tang Xi coldly said, "Assistant Xu, I’m tired."

Before leaving, Xu Ze said, "I have hired a housekeeper for you, she will come over soon..."

But Tang Xi did not respond.

Xu Ze sighed and left, then called Fu Tingzhou after leaving the neighborhood to report the incident.

At this moment, Fu Tingzhou was lying on the hospital bed, having just gone through a series of examinations.

The medication had made his head feel somewhat dizzy now.

He instructed over the phone, "Arrange for the media, after I leave the hospital next week, find an appropriate moment. Announce the termination of my engagement with Su Mengshu. Also, give the Su Family a compensation."

"Yes."

-

Tang Xi slept, and when she woke up, it was already the next morning.

She got out of bed.

She saw a woman in her early forties busy in the kitchen who immediately said upon seeing Tang Xi, "Ma’am, breakfast will be ready soon, please wait a moment."

Tang Xi looked around at the unfamiliar surroundings.

Suddenly, she belatedly remembered that she was now in Fu Tingzhou’s apartment.

And Xu Ze had said when he left that he would arrange for an aunt to take care of her.

Tang Xi didn’t make things difficult for herself; feeling weak, she ate a little and felt much better.

After breakfast, the aunt cleaned up the house and left, saying she would come back at noon.

Tang Xi who didn’t like being disturbed, nodded in acknowledgment.

She took out her cell phone and charged it.

Upon turning it on, she saw countless missed calls.

There were calls from Xu Yiran, Tang Jingyun, and Ruan Youqing.

She called Tang Jingyun.

Told her to go to the hospital and bring her daughter home.

Tang Jingyun was stunned for a moment upon learning that she had given birth, followed by more concern, "Such a big thing, why didn’t you tell me? Where have you been these days? Why didn’t you return my calls, I couldn’t even see your face!! I looked for Xu Ze, and Xu Ze also said he couldn’t contact you, where are you exactly? Xiaomi’s illness is curable... someone anonymously donated hematopoietic stem cells for her."

Tang Xi listened to Tang Jingyun’s words of urgent concern over the phone.

Her heart warmed, and her voice choked up, "Mom Tang, I’m fine, really... You take good care of my daughter, don’t let people know this child is mine. I have given her a name, called Tangtang."

Tang Xi hung up the phone and sat on the lounge chair on the balcony.

Looking out the window.

This is the seventeenth floor.

The deep winter weather, with fog swirling outside.

It carried a sense of desolation.

Tang Xi felt that the life before her was like enveloped in fog.

Step by step, moving towards a situation she couldn’t control.

Her phone vibrated again, it was Xu Yiran calling. She hesitated but eventually picked up.

She didn’t speak.

Xu Yiran said, "Are you at Brother Tingzhou’s place?"

His directness choked Tang Xi up like her throat was stuffed with cotton.

"Dr. Xu, I am fine."

Xu Yiran was silent for a few seconds, seemingly in a noisy place, he walked a few steps forward to a relatively quiet spot and said, "If this way of life makes you happy, then I have nothing to say."

Tang Xi’s voice was calm, yet she said, "I am very happy, thank you for looking after me during this time."

She shouldn’t continue to delay him.

He had the brightest possible future ahead.

He shouldn’t be driving a car worth hundred thousands, working as a per diem doctor in an ordinary hospital, earning a salary of two to three thousand a month, assisting a regular doctor, or accompanying her to eat at street stalls.

He said urgently, "Tang Xi, is he threatening you?"

"It doesn’t matter anymore, Dr. Xu, thank you for your company, we will always be friends. I also hope that your future life will be bright and splendid." Unlike the dense fog right now, where no light can be seen.

After speaking, Tang Xi hung up the call.

At this moment, Xu Yiran stood outside a hospital room, he knocked on the door and walked in.

Fu Tingzhou was sitting on the sofa with a laptop on his lap. At this moment, upon seeing Xu Yiran, he closed the laptop and looked at him with a cold and sharp gaze.

Fu Tingzhou seemed to know that Xu Yiran was coming, his gaze was stern yet indifferent.

Xu Yiran cut to the chase, "I know it was you who used means to threaten Tang Xi. Your compatibility matches Tangtang, so Tang Xi had no choice but to agree. Fu Tingzhou, don’t you think your actions are despicable?"

"Fourth brother, Uncle Xu told me that he has been very worried about you during the time you left home." Fu Tingzhou slightly narrowed his eyes then, his voice was not cold but as usual, carried a hint of fraternal concern. At this moment, the man was wearing a hospital gown, because of the various drugs injected to temporarily boost his body metrics to meet donation requirements, Fu Tingzhou felt a faint dizziness in his head. He raised his hand and rubbed his temples, his voice gradually grew hoarse, yet his attitude still carried the arrogance and chill of someone high in position, "I don’t want a woman to spoil the decades-long friendship between the Fu Family and the Xu Family. Your medical expertise shouldn’t be buried in an ordinary community hospital either."

Xu Yiran clenched his fists tightly, "Brother Tingzhou, if you truly like her and are willing to marry her, I can let her go. But you already have a fiancée, what position does this put Tang Xi in, as a mistress? Do you even regard her as a person! She can feel pain too, and you have no idea how she has made it through these eight months."

Seeing Xu Yiran’s angry and emotional appearance, Fu Tingzhou’s expression became somewhat icy and stern. Before this, he couldn’t have imagined that Tang Xi had the ability to make Xu Yiran care so much about her. Xu Yiran and Cheng Yunlang were not the same, Cheng Yunlang was constrained by his family, while Xu Yiran, for this woman, could give up everything.

"You just need to know, before you called her sister-in-law, and it will be the same in the future."

Xu Yiran gritted his teeth hard, he used to respect this third brother deeply, but now there was only resentment and coldness, "Fu Tingzhou, she won’t belong to you, nor will she be with you, you’ve never understood what she wants!"

"Money, status, honor, I can give her all that." Fu Tingzhou abruptly stood up and shouted, "Xu Ze, escort Young Master Xu back to the Xu Family!"

"Hahaha." Xu Yiran laughed upon hearing his words.

"You don’t understand her, you don’t understand at all what she wants, money and status? Hahaha... Fu Tingzhou, you are really hypocritical and callous, do you think she wants money? The thing she wants, you can never give her, she will not like you, the pain you inflicted on her will one day backfire on you manifold!!"

Xu Ze together with two bodyguards forcefully took Xu Yiran away.

But his words kept replaying inside the hospital room.

Echoing in Fu Tingzhou’s ears.
