Qin Jianlan clutched her son’s hand, instructing him, “Tingzhou, take Tang Xi back home.”

Tang Xi knew that this man detested her too much to bother sending her anywhere.

She quickly said with a smile to Qin Jianlan, “…Mom, I’m a doctor, I forgot to mention, I work at this hospital.

I can come to see you every day from now on…”

Qin Jianlan’s face carried a smile, “Tang Xi is now a doctor, that’s wonderful…”

From childhood till now, the few moments of warmth Tang Xi had experienced came from Tang Jingyun and Qin Jianlan.

At this moment, looking at Qin Jianlan’s kind and gentle face and feeling her heartfelt praise, she suddenly felt a lump in her throat.

Medicine was her beloved career, she labored for her passion, she had never received even the slightest praise or support from the cold Su Family.

Now, feeling choked up, Tang Xi fought hard to hold it back.

Fu Tingzhou approached her, a hand resting on her shoulder, his voice gentle, “Let’s go, I’ll take you to your department.

Don’t disturb Mom’s rest.”

Tang Xi only felt her shoulder sink.

His movement carried a coercive force, the moment they stepped out of the ward and closed the door.

The man’s face darkened.

The gentleness was replaced by indifference and disgust.

He pulled Tang Xi along for a few steps, until they reached the end of the corridor.

His gaze was cold yet piercing, causing her to shiver while also feeling a scalding sensation.

Tang Xi took a deep breath, “It’s great that Aunt Qin has woken up, but rest assured, I won’t…

I won’t refuse to divorce you.

It’s already noon, the civil affairs bureau is closed, we can go in the afternoon.”

“How would I know, once we divorce, that you won’t come to my mother’s ward afterward to cry and complain?”

Tang Xi didn’t expect him to distrust her so much, she hesitated, “I…

I won’t….”

Suddenly, he grasped her chin fiercely, “Do you think I would still trust you?” He gazed at the pale, delicate face of the woman before him, which in his heart no longer held the previous image of innocence and kindness.

How could he have imagined that the woman his mother had handed over to him would actually be Tang Xi?

And this woman, watching him be together with Su Mengshu, still managed to pretend so innocent and pure…

Agreeing to divorce without claiming a penny.

Then immediately becoming greedy, asking for 500,000, every step seemingly like playing hard to get, just to raise the bargaining chip higher.

Latter asking for 1 million, 2 million!

He had been taken for a fool by a woman.

Brother-in-law, huh….

When she called him brother-in-law, in her heart, she probably had already calculated how to use this relationship to threaten him for money!

Fu Tingzhou’s hand, gripping her chin, slowly exerted force, his voice hoarse as it landed on her face, “Tang Xi, you listen to me!

My mother needs to undergo heart surgery in three months, she has just awoken and cannot stand any stimulation.

I do not wish for our divorce to upset her.

If you want to be Mrs.

Fu, I’ll indulge you, we’ll divorce three months from now.

But don’t get carried away, during these three months I won’t acknowledge you, nor will I touch you.”

A second heart surgery after three months?

Tang Xi was slightly shocked.

As a doctor, she naturally understood the risks of this surgery; an operation three years ago had left Aunt Qin in a coma until today.

She naturally hoped for Aunt Qin’s good health.

Bearing the pain, she furrowed her brows lightly, “You mean, delay the divorce…

alright, rest assured, I won’t tell Aunt Qin.”

She wished more than anyone for Aunt Qin to be healthy.

She didn’t need this man in front of her to trust her or not.

But looking at the fury and disgust in his eyes, Tang Xi still felt a sting in her heart.

This relationship should have been the closest one between them.

Fu Tingzhou released her chin, his eyes sweeping impassively over her face.

He took out a handkerchief from his pocket, wiped his hands as if disgusted, and threw the handkerchief into the trash bin.

Tang Xi’s breath caught…

Watching his retreating figure, Tang Xi bit her lip and couldn’t help but softly call out, “Fu Tingzhou…”

The man paused mid-step, but did not turn around.

Tang Xi quickly caught up to him, mustering all her courage, “I…

you, you promised me over the phone, as long as we divorce, you would give me 500,000…”

Her voice was very small.

Tang Xi’s complexion was pale, but she had no other choice.

Without this money, Mother Tang would be left to await death in the hospital.

Fu Tingzhou sneered coldly, sure enough, a greedy woman who loves money…

Looking at her simple and somewhat shabby clothes, her cuffs worn from frequent washing, she presented a picture of frugality.

He remembered the first time he met her at the Su Family home, he gave her a card, and the next day she had spent four to five hundred thousand; ever since then, there were expenses every so often, all from luxury shops at Wanlong Mall…

She is clearly the Su Family’s spoiled daughter, often frequenting luxury stores and splurging.

He recalled Mengshu saying Tang Xi often disguised her greedy nature with an innocent and humble appearance.

Turns out it was true.

Her previous disguise was too good, even deceiving herself.

500,000 is nothing to him, yet, he has no desire to give it to the woman before him.

He would rather throw it to a beggar on the streets than give it to her.

Now it’s just the first day of three months, and she is already asking him for 500,000?

Gradually she’ll have the gall to use her mother to blackmail him for more!

Such women, he had seen plenty.

“Tang Xi, I gave you so many chances, yet you did not cherish any of them.”

In Fu Tingzhou’s eyes, besides disgust, there was also a thick sense of disappointment.

Tang Xi bit her lip hard, seeing that he was about to leave.

She bravely, yet cautiously, clutched at his sleeve again.

The woman’s fingers were pale and taut, as if she was using her last ounce of strength to keep him there, “Mr.

Fu…

I really, really need this money, I…

I have a relative, she….”

“Are you about to say, you have a severely ill relative who will die without this money?”

Fu Tingzhou’s voice, filled with indifference, brutally interrupted her, the corner of his lips revealing a hint of mockery, “So you can even come up with such a lame, cliché excuse?

Is this how you seduced Cheng Yunlang?

Casting yourself as a pitiful character to win Cheng Yunlang’s sympathy!”

“I didn’t.” Tang Xi felt a pang in her heart.

No matter what she said, the person before her didn’t trust her.

She didn’t want to ask him for money…

The original Tang Xi wanted to cleanly divorce him.

She didn’t want anything from him.

But she hadn’t anticipated Mother Tang’s condition would suddenly worsen like this.

With the only kidney source available, she had to seize the opportunity, “Mr.

Fu, I really need this money…

I promise to behave and not cause you any trouble.

After three months, once Auntie Qin has her surgery, we can divorce.”

“You promise, what can you assure me with?” Fu Tingzhou looked at her anxious expression, not understanding why he suddenly felt so irritable, and abruptly grabbed her shoulders, pinning her against the wall, “Tang Xi!

Do you know what you look like right now?

It’s disgusting.

I agreed to give you 500,000, if you can make my mother happy during this time, maybe I can consider giving it to you in advance.

After three months, get out of North City, never to reappear!

If you dare show your face in this city, I’ll make your life worse than death!”

Having said that, he turned around and left.

Tang Xi felt her shoulder bones as if they were about to shatter.
