After Divorce, Hidden Marriage Husband Became Addicted to Me
Chapter 320 - 232: Her Name is Taboo.

Chapter 320: Chapter 232: Her Name is Taboo.

Tang Xi faintly curved her lips, her relationship with Xu Rongchen was nothing more than that of ordinary collaboration.

Xu Rongchen had agreed to collaborate with her also for his own benefits.

Xu Rongchen and Fu Tingzhou were close friends as well as business partners, and he was even colder and more callous, more composed than Fu Tingzhou. He also did not wish for Fu Tingzhou to be caught in an emotional whirlpool. Moreover, with Tang’s notorious reputation in North City’s elite circles, rumors were rife that Tang Xi had affairs with multiple men, stepping on several boats. Xu Rongchen certainly did not want such a woman to be with his good brother.

And Tang Xi herself was eager to leave; the collaboration between the two was merely a coincidental convergence of their mutual interests.

However, Xu Rongchen overlooked one thing – because he himself did not believe in love, his attitude towards women was always indulgent, doting, but without any real affection. He was married, but he did not love his wife, Qin Yu; their marriage was nothing more than a tie between two families.

It was nothing more than a way to consolidate the benefits for his own company.

He had lovers outside, but his attitude towards his lovers was also nothing more than wanting them to be obedient and docile. He could provide them with money, endless amounts of money.

But what Xu Rongchen did not understand was that a person as cold-hearted as Fu Tingzhou could also be driven to despair over a woman.

Four years ago, the cruise ship carrying Tang Xi suddenly sank.

Not a single person survived.

Fu Tingzhou, forgoing food and sleep, spent several nights hiring rescue teams to salvage Tang Xi’s body, unable to believe she was dead. But the shipwreck was now in deep sea territory, and no matter how many resources were spent, she could not be found.

Fu Tingzhou became disheveled and unkempt from drinking excessively, a far cry from his previously dignified and indifferent demeanor.

He even sent Su Mengshu to prison for this woman.

And he even had a car accident.

At that time, Xu Rongchen wondered, had he made a mistake? The woman named Tang Xi did not love him at all; he had persistently kept Tang Xi by his side, and in the end, she sought his help to leave. Was he wrong?

He did not believe in love, but he watched as Fu Tingzhou fell deeply into it; Xu Rongchen knew then that Fu Tingzhou had long since fallen for Tang Xi.

He just never realized his own feelings.

At this moment, Xu Rongchen’s expression turned frosty, "Tang Xi, I don’t know what you mean by suddenly appearing by Tingzhou’s side now. Since you chose to leave four years ago, then you should have left thoroughly." If you had really died four years ago, there would be some guilt in his love, but now...

Xu Rongchen did not like that Tang Xi was disturbing Fu Tingzhou again.

Fu Tingzhou had lost his memory.

He had lost his memory due to that car accident four years ago.

It was orchestrated by the Fu Family patriarch, who found a well-known hypnotist to perform deep hypnosis on Fu Tingzhou, erasing all memories deep within his mind concerning this woman, and publicly declared that Third Young Master Fu had amnesia due to the car accident.

Hypnotism was not absolutely safe, and at the time the hypnotist said that Fu Tingzhou could recover his memory under certain conditions.

He might also never recover.

There was no certainty.

But it would be best not to let him come into contact with any memories about this woman or acquaintances from his past.

Hence, Fu Yuanshan replaced all the people around Fu Tingzhou.

This matter, even Ji Liangzhi was unaware of; Ji Liangzhi still thought that his third brother lost his memory due to a car accident.

Only Xu Rongchen knew.

Tang Xi looked at the two people in front of her, her expression also turning cold. Everyone thought it was her who approached Fu Tingzhou, wanting to seduce him. Everyone said she had affairs with several men, implicating herself with numerous men, that she would do anything for money.

How ludicrous.

"Mr. Xu, instead of talking to me like this, you might as well take care of Fu Tingzhou. I’ve been living peacefully here for four years; all disturbed by Fu Tingzhou’s arrival. I can’t wait for him to go back to North City right now. I wish all of you would leave North Island," Tang Xi didn’t bother to hide her emotions, "Do you really think I wanted to see any of you?"

She couldn’t avoid them fast enough!

Ji Liangzhi glanced at Xu Rongchen and then at Tang Xi, scratching his head, indecisive about why the atmosphere between Xu Rongchen and Tang Xi seemed so tense and hostile.

He was still shocked to have encountered Tang Xi just now.

After all, when the news of Tang Xi’s ’death’ spread four years ago, the way Fu Tingzhou collapsed is still terrifying to recall. Now that Tang Xi is alive, isn’t that a joyous matter?

Why...

It seems like it’s not as he thought.

Fu Tingzhou has amnesia, and the woman deep in his memories is Tang Xi, but Mr. Fu cautioned Ji Liangzhi out of fear of shocking him, prohibiting mentioning Tang Xi’s name around Fu Tingzhou.

Ji Liangzhi, being one of Fu Tingzhou’s closest friends, didn’t want to see Fu Tingzhou continue to suffer. Over these four years, nobody dared to bring up Tang Xi’s name around him.

That name seemed to become a forbidden zone.

All assistants and drivers around Fu Tingzhou were replaced.

For this, Ji Liangzhi has always felt that Mr. Fu’s methods were too drastic; simply keeping them quiet would suffice, yet they were directly distanced from North City. After all, these people might have their homes in North City, but Mr. Fu’s tactics were so thunderous that no one dared mention Tang Xi’s name around Fu Tingzhou.

Just now, although Ji Liangzhi was shocked to see Tang Xi here, he was more delighted.

Tang Xi is still alive, and that’s great.

But now, seeing Tang Xi and Xu Rongchen at loggerheads, Ji Liangzhi also gradually sensed a strangely eerie atmosphere

"Tang Xi, I assume you know that Third Brother has lost his memory. Don’t take Chen Brother’s words to heart. After your ’death,’ Third Brother... Now that you’re still alive, that’s a cause for celebration," he said.

Tang Xi snorted coldly.

Did Fu Tingzhou shed a single tear for her when she ’died’?

Suddenly, Tang Xi felt her throat dry and uncomfortable, so she picked up a cup of water nearby, took a sip, and the cool water soothed her throat. Clutching the cup tightly, she scoffed with self-mockery, "A happy occasion? Hah—"

Xu Rongchen said, "Since Tingzhou has lost his memory, Tang Xi, I hope you maintain your distance from him. I don’t want you to disturb him anymore. He’s here for collaboration with North Island, and once it ends, he’ll leave at most by next month. You said you wanted to live peacefully and undisturbed; as long as you choose to live in harmony, I believe no one can disrupt the life you want, unless you’re too greedy."

Ji Liangzhi’s frown deepened; he thought Xu Rongchen’s words were a bit much.

Tang Xi arched an eyebrow, her voice hoarse yet trembling, "Since that’s what you all think of me, I’m powerless to argue. How about this? Why don’t you use money to shut my mouth? I’ll obediently play whatever role you want me to around Fu Tingzhou for a month, how about that?"

She felt the irony.

It was these people who disrupted her life, yet while she lived in fear, worried that Fu Tingzhou would discover their daughter, she couldn’t shake off the man’s entanglement.

At this moment, she felt like a leech clinging onto Fu Tingzhou and sucking his blood.

Oh, they are all innocent, and only she’s the despicable one?

Then she would be utterly despicable and greedy.

Xu Rongchen, "Is this what you’re after?"

He frowned, well, resolving it this way was for the best.

He promptly said, "Name your price."

Just at that moment, the private room door opened, and Fu Tingzhou walked in from outside.
