Chapter 343: Chapter 243: The New Female Companion_3

However, at this moment, Tang Qianqian said, "I know some things. You and Miss Su are a match made in heaven, Miss Su being the daughter of the richest man, with a marriage arrangement settled since childhood with you. You two are the perfect pair, many people are looking forward to your engagement ceremony." All of this she heard from her paparazzi friends before.

Fu Tingzhou waved his hand, signaling Tang Qianqian to leave first.

He was feeling somewhat irritable.

The name Su Mengshu, after learning of it, did not bring him the clear pleasure he expected. Was the woman he had been searching for so long... her?

But why does it seem...

That he is not happy about it?

Shen Duan escorted Tang Qianqian to the car, and after watching the driver leave, he returned to the hospital room.

"My lord, we can’t entirely trust what Tang Qianqian said."

Fu Tingzhou raised a hand to his forehead, suppressing the pain, his voice hoarse, "Help me with the discharge procedures."

Shen Duan hesitated, "The doctor recommended staying..."

Fu Tingzhou indifferently interrupted him, "Continue investigating Xu Ze’s whereabouts, keep an eye on his sister Xu Nian. Also... I want to know why Su Mengshu went to prison, when she got out, and where she is now."

Shen Duan bowed slightly, "Su Mengshu... the news of Su Mengshu’s imprisonment was locked down tightly, outsiders don’t know she went to prison. They thought the daughter of the richest man disappeared these past few years because she had gone abroad, in North City’s circles when Su Mengshu is mentioned, they say she went abroad for medical treatment due to illness... The details of her imprisonment, the actual reasons, have all been sealed by Old Master Shu, to dig out this information... even finding out Su Mengshu was in prison took some effort."

But the idea of the daughter of the richest man being in prison?

It’s simply unbelievable if spoken out loud...

Fu Tingzhou naturally knew the reach of Old Master Shu’s influence as well.

With the power and status of the Shu Family, sealing a piece of news was extremely easy.

"My engagement with the Shu family’s daughter was arranged since childhood, but according to the records, Su Mengshu’s surname is Su, the daughter of the jeweler Su Kangrong, and also Tang Xi’s sister. Later, she became the daughter of the richest Shu family. Doesn’t it seem... absurd to you?"

"Moreover, the Shu Family has always had a friendly partnership with the Fu Family. Four years ago there was a sudden fallout, and my engagement with Su Mengshu has also been called off. Don’t you think a lot must have happened?"

Fu Tingzhou closed his eyes, resting his head against the pillow, his head aching severely.

He recalled the panicked and frightened look Tang Xi gave him every time she saw him.

He had never thought that this Su Mengshu would be Tang Xi’s sister.

The relationships between these people were so tangled that it made Fu Tingzhou’s head throb as if punctured by needles.

Did Tang Xi refuse to tell him the truth for this reason?

"Why do you think the old man kept all this from me?"

Shen Duan didn’t dare to easily judge Old Master Fu’s decisions, which were all quite unusual.

"My lord, I believe Old Master Fu did all this for your own good."

"I know he’s my biological grandfather and won’t harm me, but I don’t understand why he erased my past memories, my history." Fu Tingzhou turned his gaze out the window, looking from this angle at the azure sky outside the hospital.

The man gazed into the distance.

Tang Xi’s design draft made it through the preliminary selection.

This was within Tang Xi’s expectations. The results came out quickly, and she also got a call from the person in charge at Shangguan Group to confirm.

Tang Xi was also preparing for the upcoming initial selection.

During lunch, she mentioned this to Gu Zhiyi, who smiled and said, "That’s pretty impressive. But I heard that this jewelry design competition hosted by Shangguan Group is very grand, and many celebrities will attend the finals."

"I’m just trying my luck to win some prize money," she replied.

"By the way, Qingli is also participating in the contest, so you two will have something in common to talk about. After work tonight, let’s go to Qingli’s. She has made some clothes for Tangtang and Xiao Ze."

"She’s also participating?" Tang Xi was surprised but also glad, "Okay, see you tonight."

-

After work in the evening, Gu Zhiyi drove Tang Xi to Shen Qingli’s clothing store.

When they arrived, there were two customers picking out fabric in the store.

Mengmeng was introducing them to the materials.

Tang Xi and Gu Zhiyi made their way to the second floor with ease.

Shen Qingli had prepared a hot pot. When the two arrived, the hot pot was just ready; they washed their hands and sat down together for the meal.

Tang Xi used sign language to discuss with Shen Qingli about the Shangguan Group jewelry design competition.

Shen Qingli brought out her tablet and showed her own design draft – she also made it through the preliminary selection.

The design was a moon-shaped brooch.

It was a conservative but eye-catching design, one that could easily make it through the initial selection.

Shen Qingli: "I was just getting bored and wanted to do something. My major in university was design, covering both jewelry and fashion."

While chatting and eating on the upper floor, Shen Qingli reserved some vegetables and beef slices for Mengmeng, waiting for her to finish with the customers before coming up to eat.

At that moment, Mengmeng went upstairs, and Shen Qingli used sign language to say, "Eat first, let’s close the shop."

Mengmeng frowned, "A woman came wanting to order a cheongsam, saying she needs it by this week."

Gu Zhiyi, biting on a beef ball, said, "That urgent? Didn’t you tell her we don’t take rush orders?"

"I did, but she said she could pay double the price for a rush fee."

Gu Zhiyi glanced at Shen Qingli and spoke, "Then just take it. If someone is willing to pay, why refuse?"

Mengmeng stamped her foot, "That’s Xu Jiucheng’s new companion recently..."
