Chapter 85: Chapter 84: Shouldn’t Have Liked

"I will not allow my child to have a mother like you!"

"Even if you don’t abort, if I find out, I will forcefully take you to get it terminated!" He released his grip, left these words behind, and turned to stride away.

With a "bang," the door was slammed shut.

Tang Xi’s body trembled.

Her frail back slowly bent as she steadied herself with a chair and slowly squatted down.

Her heart began to ache.

Clutching her chest, the man’s cold and heartless words echoed in her ears.

The woman’s lips were pale, without a trace of color.

She looked at the paper on the ground, picked it up, and clenched it tightly in her palm.

Tang Xi, you should not have fallen for him.

The woman closed her eyes, her knuckles turning white from the force of her grip.

Tang Xi, in just twenty days, you can leave this place.

This man has nothing to do with you.

He will marry Su Mengshu.

And you, you are still an outsider.

"Dr. Tang, what’s wrong with you, are you feeling unwell?"

A doctor came in and saw Tang Xi squatting weakly on the ground, hurried over.

Tang Xi shook her head, "I’m fine, just a bit tired."

She stood up and rubbed her brow.

"Dr. Xiao Zhang, have you finished with your tasks? What happened with those patients... and that middle-aged man who injured someone?"

"Ah, there was a car accident at the intersection. Four people were seriously injured; one girl was slightly less injured and was sent for emergency treatment then transferred to our ward, but suddenly her condition worsened. The operating room was unavailable at the time, we were contacting Vice President Zhang, and Vice President Zhang has rushed over. The girl’s father was threatening us with a knife..."

"How is Xiao Wen doing now?"

"She has stabilized now."

Tang Xi rubbed her sore neck and left the department.

It was already around 10 o’clock at night.

She suddenly didn’t know where to go, and thinking of the man’s angry departure, she walked aimlessly along the corridor until she arrived at Qin Jianlan’s hospital room door.

Qin Jianlan had just come back from the Fu Family banquet and was sitting in a wheelchair, being pushed by Aunt Rong.

"Xiao Xi, why are you here alone, where’s Tingzhou?"

"Ah, he..."

At this moment, Tang Xi looked exhausted, her complexion unmistakably pale.

Qin Jianlan noticed something was off and quickly grasped her hand, "What’s wrong, did you have a fight? I’ll call Tingzhou right now! How could this child argue with you!"

"Mom... it’s not like that."

Tang Xi couldn’t stop Qin Jianlan; she watched as Qin Jianlan dialed Fu Tingzhou’s number.

The man on the other end was initially taken aback, then said, "Mom, I just had to step out for something urgent, I’ll be there soon."

Tang Xi pushed Qin Jianlan into the room, helped her onto the bed, and adjusted the pillow height, "Mom, you must be tired too, I won’t bother you further, Tingzhou should arrive soon, I’ll wait for her at the door."

"Xiao Xi." Qin Jianlan held Tang Xi’s hand.

"Silly child, if someone has wronged you, just tell mom. Is it because of that sister of yours?" Qin Jianlan said, furrowing her brows, "I knew it, you all teamed up to deceive me! Fu Tingzhou is with other women and neglecting you, right!"

Some time ago, Aunt Rong told her that there was a woman secretly lingering outside the hospital room.

She hid every time she saw Aunt Rong come out!

Aunt Rong thought someone was up to no good and might harm Qin Jianlan, so she checked the security footage, took a picture of the woman’s face, and only after investigating did she realize that this woman was Tang Xi’s nominal sister.

She paid a hefty sum for a private detective.

And found out that this woman was also supposedly Fu Tingzhou’s ’girlfriend’

This instantly made Qin Jianlan furious! Her blood pressure soared!

But seeing Tang Xi’s tenderness and sensibility, she felt even more sympathy for her.

"Mom..." Tang Xi was stunned. How could Qin Jianlan know about Su Mengshu!

She had never mentioned her to Qin Jianlan!

Fearing for Qin Jianlan’s health, and also because of her agreement with Fu Tingzhou, she hurriedly said, "Mom, it’s not like that."

Qin Jianlan sighed, "Xi, how long are you going to keep covering for Tingzhou!"

She knew Tang Xi was gentle and kind, so she was even less willing to let her son get away with wronging her. While her health still allowed, she must resolve the issue of Su Mengshu! Once she undergoes surgery and if she doesn’t wake up, Xi will surely be at a disadvantage!

It’s been tough on this child these three years she’s been in a coma.

At this moment, the room door was pushed open.

Fu Tingzhou came in, dressed in a gray tracksuit. He looked uninjured. Tang Xi knew he didn’t want to worry Qin Jianlan.

"Mom."

He glanced at Tang Xi with his thin lips slightly pursed. He raised his hand to wrap his arms around her shoulders, his voice gentle, but his eyes devoid of amusement, "My car is in the garage. Didn’t I say to call me after you were done? It’s so late now; we shouldn’t disturb mom’s rest anymore."

After their recent argument, the feigned tenderness and love made Tang Xi feel particularly uncomfortable. She tried to smile, looking at Fu Tingzhou.

In her mind, she saw the scene where he saved her and injured his arm.

At the same time, it was also the scene where he found her ultrasound report, and coldly slammed the door as he left.

Biting her lip, she said, "Tingzhou... Mom... she..."

She knows about you and Su Mengshu.

Fu Tingzhou frowned, seemingly noticing the unusual expression on her face.

Qin Jianlan, holding her chest, said, "Tingzhou, how long do you and Xi plan to keep things from me! Who is Su Mengshu! You should know that Tang Xi is your wife, how can you be with another woman!"

Fu Tingzhou’s face tensed up as he looked towards Tang Xi, his eyes gradually sharpening. Tang Xi watched his dark eyes helplessly, biting her already pale lips fiercely. The affair had eventually come to light, it was no longer a secret from Aunt Qin.

He must think that she was the one who told Aunt Qin.

At this moment, she had no strength to explain.

Qin Jianlan looked at her son, "Answer me!"

Fu Tingzhou slightly lowered his head, "Mom... Tang Xi and I never really had feelings for each other, I don’t like her. I will divorce her. Mengshu is her nominal sister, but they are not blood-related. She saved me during the earthquake, a gentle and kind woman... compared to Tang Xi, Mengshu is more suitable to be Mrs. Fu."

Tang Xi’s spine stiffened to the extreme, her fingertips digging into the palm of her hand. She felt a clear pain.

She thought she had become immune to it.

But it still hurt, numb yet acutely painful.

"You!!!" Qin Jianlan was shocked.

"Mom, I’m sorry." Fu Tingzhou clenched his fists.

"You should be saying sorry to Xi! Tingzhou, mom could never have imagined you’d do such a thing... how could you be so cruel to Xi! And to team up with her to deceive me." Qin Jianlan’s voice was clear but trembling, "Tingzhou, I want you to swear that in this life, you will not divorce Tang Xi!"
