Chapter 226: Chapter 173: Pink Diamond_2

She held Tang Jingyun’s hand, very seriously saying, "Mom, it’s a matter of time before this place gets demolished. Shiyue is going to take the university entrance exam this year; you also need to consider your own future. Aunt Tang... Moreover, I’m leaving this place."

Tang Jingyun looked at her, "Where are you going?"

Tang Xi hugged Tang Jingyun, resting her head on her shoulder, "My hospital teacher found me and said they are organizing a medical mission to Africa, I’m all set to go. I’ll be leaving in a few days."

Tang Xi was afraid that once she left, Fu Tingzhou would take out his anger on Tang Jingyun and Tang Shiyue.

At this moment, she held Tang Jingyun’s hand tightly, "Aunt Tang... for my sake, please accept this money, it’s enough for you and Shiyue to live a good life."

There was one million in there, all accumulated during the time Tang Xi had been by Fu Tingzhou’s side, every time he demanded from her, every time she submitted herself.

She said sleeping with her was fine, but money had to be given.

Humiliation and self-esteem, she was willing to forsake them both.

Tang Jingyun looked at Tang Xi, although she did not know the specifics, she vaguely knew that Tang Xi had not been having a good life. After giving birth, she suddenly disappeared, and every visit was accompanied by a woman named Nie Xiaoyun, Tang Jingyun vaguely sensed that someone was restricting Tang Xi’s freedom.

"Okay, I’ll accept it," Tang Jingyun couldn’t bear to refuse Tang Xi.

In her heart, she also decided to sign the demolition consent form.

These past few days, Tang Xi had been with Tang Jingyun to sign the demolition consent form, and also found adoptive families for the other children in the welfare institute. For those who couldn’t be adopted, she turned them over to the government to arrange for other welfare institutions in North City; there were many, and the children had places to go.

This made Tang Xi happy too; she had watched these children grow up, the oldest of whom was only in middle school.

-

Tang Xi made a trip to the hospital and found Zhang Tinghua.

She filled out her personal information, and soon Zhang Tinghua had arranged for her to be an assistant and issued her the necessary documentation.

Everything went smoothly, but on the way back, Nie Xiaoyun sensed something was amiss.

"Tang Xi...you..." As Nie Xiaoyun drove, she looked at her, "Are you...?" She was afraid to voice it out loud but couldn’t suppress her curiosity.

Having lived with Tang Xi for several months, Nie Xiaoyun could say she understood her somewhat.

She vaguely knew Tang Xi wanted to leave, on one hand, she hoped Tang Xi would have a good outcome with Mr. Fu, and on the other hand, she hoped Tang Xi would achieve her own freedom.

After hesitating for a while, Nie Xiaoyun still didn’t voice her question.

As a friend, Nie Xiaoyun chose to help her keep it secret.

Sitting in the back seat, Tang Xi opened the window and looked at the passing streets outside, enjoying the feeling of the breeze on her cheeks. Her voice was soft as if it was being scattered by the wind, but it clearly reached Nie Xiaoyun’s ears.

"Yes, I’m leaving here."

The car just happened to come across a red light, Nie Xiaoyun slammed on the brakes, falling silent for a few seconds. She looked ahead, hands tightly holding the steering wheel, "I’ll pretend I didn’t hear anything."

Nie Xiaoyun said, "Don’t tell me where you’re going, and don’t tell me when you’re leaving. I’ll just assume that I know nothing about this. I hope that you... can be a little happier every day."

Tang Xi lowered her eyelashes; after only a few months of being together, she already considered Nie Xiaoyun a friend. She did not want to implicate Nie Xiaoyun, whose voice turned hoarse, "Sister Xiaoyun, if I leave... will Fu Tingzhou make things difficult for you? If I..."

Nie Xiaoyun slowly said, "You don’t have to worry about me. Even if I’m not being your bodyguard, I’ll be assigned somewhere else, wherever the Fu Family needs me. I’ve suffered through all sorts of hardships, I’ve been on missions to deserts, the Gobi, jungles... you don’t have to feel like you’re bringing any loss upon me. And Mr. Fu... he’s not a heartless, ungrateful person..."

She lifted her eyes and glanced at the rearview mirror; from the mirror, she saw Tang Xi’s worried eyes, Nie Xiaoyun gave a hearty laugh, "Tang Xi, I truly hope you can live happily."

Tang Xi and Nie Xiaoyun didn’t head straight back to Qingfeng Garden. Nie Xiaoyun’s car took a detour and arrived near the university town’s food street.

The two of them ate noodles at an outdoor stall.

The noodles were steaming hot; it wasn’t the time when students got off school, so it wasn’t crowded. The stall owner greeted them warmly.

Tang Xi used to be shy and introverted, so she didn’t like crowded places. But now, she enjoyed these lively places full of life; she was even more afraid of being alone at home.
