After Divorce, Hidden Marriage Husband Became Addicted to Me
Chapter 171 - 149: She Just Wants Money

Chapter 171: Chapter 149: She Just Wants Money

Tang Xi closed her eyes.

In the dark, she could not see her pale face and the despair in her pupils.

"Tang Xi, although Tang Mi’s surgery was successful, it doesn’t mean her future treatment won’t cost money. There is no disease in this world that can be completely cured for sure. A single day in the ICU costs thirty to forty thousand. Are you sure you have enough money for her follow-up treatment?" He looked at her face, trying to catch any emotions from it in the darkness. The man’s voice was deep but flat, "Tang Xi, I am serious about wanting you to stay by my side. As long as you stay, Tang Jingyun’s orphanage will receive the best treatment. Your brother who hurt someone during the college entrance exam, Tang Mi, Tang Jingyun’s illness, I will help you with all of these."

He believed the conditions he laid out were very favorable.

Tang Xi, had no room to refuse.

The woman was silent for a few seconds, then she opened her eyes and looked at him.

"I want money, a lot of it."

Fu Tingzhou smiled, "Okay."

He bowed his head, intending to kiss her, but Tang Xi covered his lips with her hand. Her voice was hoarse and cold, as calm as a robot’s voice, "For a kiss, give money, for sleeping with me, give double."

A trace of surprise flickered in the man’s dark eyes.

But soon, "Okay."

-

The Fu Family announced the dissolution of the marriage contract with the Su Family.

For two days, the matter fermented online because everyone loves watching gossip among the elites.

In the hospital, many colleagues sarcastically commented on Su Mengshu’s failed attempt to marry into a wealthy family, adding insult to her injury.

Surprisingly, Su Mengshu’s face showed no signs of despair or crying.

She also didn’t go to Fu Corporation to furiously confront Fu Tingzhou.

After all... her identity was different now.

The Shu Family, in order to protect her, did not announce it publicly.

And she, with a fake DNA test and a ring, successfully became the little princess of the Shu Family.

Marrying Fu Tingzhou was just a matter of time.

This time, no one could stand in her way anymore.

No matter what, Fu Tingzhou could not refuse this marriage set since childhood, no matter his abilities.

With the support of the Shu Family, she, Su Mengshu, was the number one socialite of North City.

-

This was Tang Xi’s 30th day in Qingfeng Garden.

During this period, Fu Tingzhou would come back every day, kiss her, and hold her to sleep.

But he did not touch her.

Tang Xi wondered if it was because she had just had a miscarriage, and he felt some conscience.

After all, this man hadn’t spared her from assisting him in other ways.

But, she could go out now.

She could go outside to see things, no longer confined to this small home.

However, when she went out, two bodyguards followed her.

Tang Xi didn’t care, thinking of it as having people carry her shopping bags for free.

The day she was able to go out, Tang Xi returned to the orphanage for a visit.

She asked the two bodyguards to wait outside and not to come in.

Inside the orphanage, Tang Jingyun held her tightly, her eyes red from crying.

Tang Xi looked at the baby girl in the crib, and tears flowed out instantly.

"Tangtang, I am your mom."

The girl had just finished eating and was asleep; hearing the voice, she started crying. Tang Xi, flustered, picked her up and gently soothed her. The girl unexpectedly stopped crying and obediently looked at Tang Xi.

Tang Xi felt a softness in her heart.

Tang Jingyun picked up a small toy nearby and gently soothed her as well.

"Xixi, don’t worry, the child is very safe here."

No one would suspect why an infant girl suddenly appeared in the orphanage.

After playing with her daughter for a while, the girl became sleepy and closed her eyes.

Tang Xi held her, reluctant to let go.

Tang Jingyun looked at her worriedly, "Xixi, when I was sick before, was it... Did you get involved with Fu Tingzhou because of me? Did I cause you trouble?"

"No, Mom, this has nothing to do with you. My relationship with him..." Tang Xi bit her lip, forcing a smile, "Now, it’s not too bad; he’s not too harsh on me."

"When he came to the hospital to see me before, the moment I saw him, I felt that this man was extraordinary. I’m afraid that as Tangtang grows up, she will resemble him more and more, and sooner or later he will discover her."

Tang Xi looked down, staring at the sleeping face of her daughter.

"I won’t be by his side forever."

She will leave; she will take her daughter and depart from here.

She is waiting, waiting for the right moment.

-

At this moment, at the Shu Family.

Su Mengshu came down from upstairs.

She had been staying here for a week now, and to her, this place was nothing short of paradise.

All the servants respectfully called her "Miss".

Everyone acted according to her moods, greatly satisfying her deep-seated greed and vanity.

She was like a princess; each morning when she opened her eyes, a personal stylist would prepare over ten outfits for her to choose from, each hot item a luxury brand, with a single button costing thousands.

This life was simply dreamlike and wonderful.

Su Mengshu knocked and entered the study.

"Grandfather, you are practicing calligraphy. Can you teach Mengshu as well?’

Shu Chong’an, facing his granddaughter whom he had searched for over 20 years, loved her immensely. After his severe illness, the sole heiress of Shu Family being found had greatly improved his spirits.

"Of course, Grandfather will teach you now."

Seeing the handwriting of Su Mengshu, Shu Chong’an nodded in satisfaction, "It seems the Su parents who adopted you have educated you well."

Su Mengshu hurriedly responded, "Yes, my foster parents are very good to me. Despite their poor health, they adopted me and always treated me as their own. They have never publicly claimed that I was adopted; they always treated me like their biological child... If it weren’t for you sending someone to find me, Grandfather, I would have always thought I was their biological child..."

Shu Chong’an nodded, "Indeed, they are not bad. I’ve heard they run a jewelry business. Coincidentally, your third uncle has a jewelry project that can be handed over to your foster parents."

Su Mengshu was incredibly happy inside, but she still maintained an outwardly gentle and understanding demeanor, "Really? Thank you, Grandfather."

Having moved in a week ago, Su Mengshu had been trying hard to act like a genuine aristocratic heiress, cautious not to bring up anything related to the Su Family’s affairs for fear of creating a greedy impression to the Shu Family. Now, she finally dared to coyly express her gratitude.

Shu Chong’an was also very satisfied with Su Mengshu, surprised that his granddaughter had been well-educated outside, indicating that Mengshu’s foster parents were also people of quality and upbringing.

"Mengshu, our family and the Fu Family have always had a marriage arrangement, you were previously engaged to that young master from the Fu Family. Grandfather suggests, why not pick a day and just get married?"

Su Mengshu trembled with excitement.

"Really?" She instantly assumed a shy demeanor, "Grandfather, I will listen to you. I’m very happy to be able to help the Shu Family."

"Good, I’ve already discussed it with Fu Yuanshan, and later we will go to the Fu Family to discuss your marriage details. Go get ready."
