Chapter 315: Chapter 228: Fu Tingzhou Hangs Up on Her Call

Tang Xi returned home that evening.

She did not rest well throughout the night, and the next day when she got up, her eyes were bloodshot. There were signs of fatigue under her eyelids, and she lightly applied makeup to cover the dark circles.

After sending her daughter to school, Tang Xi took the man’s suit to the dry cleaner’s to be cleaned. Upon seeing the suit, the clerk called over the manager. The suit had no washing label, but it was not your ordinary brand; it was a high-end custom-made piece. When Tang Xi was about to pay, she glanced at the price.

So expensive?

She looked at the clerk, "Can’t you offer a little discount?"

Cleaning a suit, and four digits were gone.

It was outrageous.

The manager said, "Madam, this suit is from a private handcrafted brand in Italy. This brand requires special care for cleaning, and the price is reasonable." The manager looked at Tang Xi, "Madam, would you like to proceed with the cleaning?"

Tang Xi hesitated for two seconds, but chose to walk out with the suit.

The distance between her and Fu Tingzhou was just like this suit, which was of considerable value. Yet she could not even afford the cleaning fee. She kept trying to avoid getting entangled in the vortex of these wealthy people, not wanting to become the laughingstock of the rich, but she just couldn’t avoid it.

She remembered the hotel address where Fu Tingzhou was staying, called for a courier to pick it up, and sent it to him.

The day passed quickly, and in the evening she went with Gu Zhiyi to a noodle shop across from the hospital for dinner.

Gu Zhiyi was on the night shift that evening and ordered a bowl of sliced noodles.

Tang Xi ordered a bowl of regular beef noodles. Looking at Gu Zhiyi, she casually asked,

"You have a night shift? What about Xiao Ze? How are you and your husband doing?"

"Xiao Ze is at his grandparents’ house these past few days." Gu Zhiyi’s noodles were ready, and she eagerly picked up a pair of disposable chopsticks and began eating. The woman’s makeup was exquisite, her red lips bright and dazzling, adding a lively sensation to the moment in this street-corner restaurant under the steaming beef noodles.

"Lu Shili and I, seeing each other grow tired, a divorce is also a kind of liberation." Gu Zhiyi said so, but a trace of mild sadness appeared in her eyes. Her finger joints tensed, gripping the chopsticks tightly.

Having loved, how could one let go so easily?

Having loved a man for seven years, back when Gu Zhiyi was still the precious daughter of the Gu Family, she had liked Lu Shili, although Lu Shili never knew.

Lu Shili had always liked Lu Qiqi.

In his heart and his eyes, there was no place for Gu Zhiyi.

Shen Duan, holding a package, knocked on Fu Tingzhou’s room door.

This package, the sender was listed as Miss Tang.

The words Miss Tang had already appeared on Shen Duan’s radar. Seeing these three words, he almost instinctively reacted.

Miss Tang, isn’t that Tang Xi?

Throughout the Northern Island, he didn’t believe there was a second Miss Tang sending packages to Fu Tingzhou.

It indicated it contained clothing.

Fu Tingzhou was in a video conference. Shen Duan placed the package aside, and once Fu Tingzhou finished, he opened the package to find the suit that he had draped over Tang Xi’s shoulders at the dinner party.

The man’s expression subtly changed.

On the side, Shen Duan noticed the hint of coldness in Fu Tingzhou’s pupils. It must be said, Tang Xi really was a fascinating woman. Having followed Fu Tingzhou for years, Shen Duan knew this man’s temperament well; this was the first time he had seen Fu Tingzhou at a disadvantage, especially being rejected by a woman.

Even though Tang Xi was Fu Tingzhou’s ex-wife, this woman... her ways and her character completely defied the typical demure ladylike demeanor.

It’s hard to imagine how they interacted in the past.

It was also the first time to see Fu Tingzhou, a person so cold and aloof, show such an expression for a woman.

Shen Duan had seen countless high-society ladies trying to get close to Fu Tingzhou, all of whom he had coldly rejected or outright ignored. Like Ning Daisu, who worked by Fu Tingzhou’s side under the guise of assistant, Fu Tingzhou never had much interaction with her, even for the sake of Ning Qian, he wouldn’t force himself to accept Ning Daisu’s advances.

This Tang Xi, indeed had some sort of magical power.

Fu Tingzhou’s chest heaved with irritation, he exhaled a turbid breath, and handed the suit to Shen Duan, "Throw it away."

Shen Duan, "Yes."

With the suit in hand, "Mr. Fu, there’s another matter, the person called Xu Ze you had me look into, I’ve found some information. However, this man named Xu Ze disappeared two years ago. The last online mention was from two years ago in a hospital where he visited his sick sister, and afterwards, there was no trace of him. Perhaps, he might have changed his name and identity."
