182: Chapter 153: Let’s Have a Child_2 182: Chapter 153: Let’s Have a Child_2 Su Mengshu, “What kind of note?”
Auntie Rong said, “It just had two sentences written on it.”
Su Mengshu immediately said, “I got it, I’ll have my friend go to you.”
After hearing this, Auntie Rong quickly responded, “Miss Su, about the promise you made to me before…”
“Don’t worry, your grandson will soon secure a spot in the elite high school.”
Following Su Mengshu’s assurance, Auntie Rong expressed her gratitude repeatedly.
After hanging up the phone, she felt a tinge of guilt towards Tang Xi.
After all, Miss Tang is a kind person.
But kindness doesn’t put food on the table.
Miss Su is now the daughter of the wealthiest family; she can secure a coveted spot at an elite high school for her own grandson.
As for Qin Jianlan, he’s been in a coma all this time, and one never knows when he might stop breathing.
Had it been earlier when Qin Jianlan was still conscious, she could’ve pleaded with him to help her grandson, but now…
Miss Tang Xi, please don’t blame me for betraying you…
Before long, Lin Chengfeng arrived in the ward and handed Auntie Rong a letter that imitated Tang Xi’s handwriting, filled with affectionate longing for Xu Yiran.
“When Fu Tingzhou arrives, just casually reveal this letter as if by accident.”
Seeing that Auntie Rong hesitated, Lin Chengfeng said, “Don’t you want your grandson to attend the elite high school?
His grades aren’t good; miss this chance, and he might end up in a vocational high school instead.”
Auntie Rong took the letter, “Yes, yes, I understand.”
Lin Chengfeng gave her several reminders not to give herself away, then hurriedly left.
Auntie Rong dared not look at the letter, fearing it might bring her trouble.
Miss Tang Xi, I’m truly sorry this time…
When you visited the lady in the past and were scolded by the young master, I too had spoken up for you.
This time, please consider it helping me out.
After Lin Chengfeng left the hospital, he immediately reported the incident to Su Mengshu.
Although Su Mengshu was recently rejected by Fu Tingzhou, she wasn’t too anxious.
She had calmed down gradually; if she couldn’t have him, she wouldn’t allow Tang Xi to either.
“Brother Wu, have you prepared the medicine I asked you to?”
“It’s all ready, an odorless incense.
Most importantly, its effects kick in once inhaled, but there won’t be any trace of it detectable by medical technology afterward.
It’s foolproof.”
“My people have also been closely watching Tang Xi; as soon as she is alone, we will make our move.”
–
On Saturday, Fu Tingzhou took Tang Xi to an upper-class banquet.
Dressed in a champagne-colored gown, Tang Xi’s elegant demeanor became more apparent, with the warm-toned champagne hue emphasizing her exceptionally fair and flawless skin.
Her hand lightly rested in the crook of Fu Tingzhou’s arm, following his steps into the banquet hall.
The hall was resplendent, adorned with dazzling crystal chandeliers.
The well-dressed elite engaged in relaxed conversation amongst themselves.
Fu Tingzhou’s arrival undoubtedly became the focal point.
In North City, who didn’t know the third young master, Fu?
And most eyes were on the woman beside him.
Gossip about Tang Xi wasn’t unheard of.
The video of Cheng Yunlang and Xu Yiran fighting over her in the hospital had spread widely on the internet, marking her as an infamous woman in North City.
Someone whispered, “So that’s the famous Tang Xi.
I thought it was just rumors, but it turns out she really is being kept by Fu Tingzhou…”
But they only dared to discuss in hushed tones.
No one dared offend Fu Tingzhou.
In front of Fu Tingzhou, they all wore sycophantic smiles.
Accompanying Fu Tingzhou, Tang Xi met a few friends along with him.
Here, she met Xu Rongchen, the “big brother” Fu Tingzhou had mentioned, who was a very dignified and handsome man.
And by Xu Rongchen’s side, Tang Xi saw an acquaintance, Qiao Na.
Dressed in a light blue tulle dress, Qiao Na stood demurely beside Xu Rongchen.
As their eyes met, they exchanged polite smiles amidst the crowd, subtle yet different from their previous ones.
Now, their smiles carried a sense of relief and natural ease.
When Fu Tingzhou was surrounded by several business executives, Tang Xi was able to step away.
Encountering Qiao Na in the resting room, they looked at each other and smiled, their grins reflecting their relaxed states, unlike their reserved, polite ones before.
Just as Tang Xi was about to speak to Qiao Na, she suddenly caught sight of a dark silhouette not far behind her — it was a bodyguard arranged for her by Fu Tingzhou.
In that instant, she became tensed; although he was meant to protect her, he also served as a form of surveillance.
