?57: Chapter 56: Why Not Seek Him Out 57: Chapter 56: Why Not Seek Him Out Li Sumei looked genuinely distressed.

As she looked at Lin Quan, her satisfaction grew.

When she heard that the other party’s family owned their own company, Li Sumei quickly and warmly grasped Lin Quan’s hand—her demeanor entirely different from that of the shrewish figure sprawled on the ground just ten minutes earlier.

“Miss Lin, you just mentioned that your family runs a company.

What field is it in?”

“It’s our family business.

My parents manage a small technology company that recently cooperated with Ruiou International.

Have you heard of Ruiou International?

It’s a subsidiary of Fu Group…” As she spoke, a hint of pride flashed in Lin Quan’s eyes.

Having the opportunity to collaborate with a subsidiary of Fu Group is an immense honor and an indirect proof of the company’s strength.

Li Sumei had never heard of these details, but she knew the name of the Fu Family, and her satisfaction with Lin Quan in her heart increased instantly.

The next day, Tang Xi was on the night shift, but there wasn’t much to do tonight, and she had managed to rest for four or five hours.

At eight o’clock in the morning, the doctor who was supposed to take over her shift hadn’t arrived yet.

Her colleague, Sister Qiu, called to say that there was an issue at her child’s school and that she would be half an hour late.

Tang Xi told her to take care of her matters first, and she began her rounds methodically.

Shu Huaili was startled upon seeing the female doctor who walked in.

She looked so similar.

Even though he knew she had no relation to Jingli, the resemblance was uncanny.

Especially when she wore the mask, only her eyes were visible; those eyes were strikingly similar.

He had people look into this female doctor’s family background.

She was the daughter of the Su Family.

This Su Family, an insignificant household, had been frequently mentioned in his ears recently.

That young man of the Fu Family, Fu Tingzhou, was actually involved with the daughter of this small-time jeweler.

Although Fu Tingzhou had a marriage arrangement with his family many years ago, Jingli had never returned, and there was no news of his granddaughter either.

He didn’t take it upon himself to interfere, but he was definitely not pleased.

The female doctor who bore such a striking resemblance to Jingli also came from this humble Su Family.

Tang Xi was recording blood pressure and various data, “Sir, you are recovering well.

Teacher Zhang has told me that according to your current condition, you can be discharged next week.”

The old gentleman gave a commanding ‘hmm’ in response.

Shu Rongjun asked a few questions about dietary recommendations, and Tang Xi informed him one by one.

At this moment, there was a knock on the door.

A tall man pushed the door open and came in.

Seeing the visitor, Shu Rongjun said, “Yun Zheng, you’re here.

Your grandfather was just talking about you.”

Tang Xi had finished her examination and was about to leave when she turned around and saw the newcomer.

The man was very tall, with a sturdy and strong build, but he did not come off as overly muscular.

Instead, he gave the impression that he exercised regularly and led a highly disciplined lifestyle.

Jiang Yunzheng?

She was momentarily taken aback and nodded politely.

Even though they weren’t friends, it was Captain Jiang who had rescued her and Fu Tingzhou just two days ago.

But she had not expected that Jiang Yunzheng would turn out to be the grandson of Elder Shu?

Shu Huaili looked at him, “I heard from your mother that you took on a mission and left a few days ago, even missing the matchmaking meeting.”

“Grandfather, there was a last-minute issue in my team,” he replied.

“You’re at the age to get married too, don’t use work as an excuse for everything.

Even if you don’t like the arrangements your mother has made, at least consider her feelings.”

“I understand,” Jiang Yunzheng said, “Don’t worry about my affairs, focus on getting better.

The doctor mentioned you need to undergo another surgery later this year.”

“All because you youngsters exasperate me so, each one more troublesome than the last.”

–

“Doctor Tang,” a deep male voice called out her name.

In the corridor, Tang Xi stopped in her tracks and turned around.

Looking at Jiang Yunzheng, she was somewhat surprised.

The man strode over and pulled out a cell phone from his pocket, offering it to her, “You dropped your phone, and it so happens that I found it.”

“Ah…

Thank you.” Tang Xi quickly expressed her gratitude, unable to contain the joy in her heart, relieved that she had found her phone and could save some money.

“So it was you who found it, that’s great.

You didn’t need to deliver it in person, I truly appreciate it.”

“It’s on my way.” Jiang Yunzheng paused for a moment, “I was planning to give it to you the day before yesterday, but I forgot.”

She had only met Captain Jiang a few times, not enough to call him a friend.

Since he had gone out of his way to return her phone, Tang Xi felt she should offer some token of appreciation, and so she tentatively suggested, “I’m not sure if Captain Jiang has the time?

I’d like to invite you to dinner as a thank you.”

You can’t just awkwardly say a dry ‘thank you’ and end it there, right?

“How about tonight?

I’m a bit busy today.”

“Ah, tonight?” Tang Xi nodded, “Okay, see you tonight then.”

Jiang Yunzheng took out his phone, “Tell me your phone number.”

Tang Xi gave her number and smiled politely as her phone started ringing; she knew it was Jiang Yunzheng calling.

For some reason, even though Jiang Yunzheng looked stern, she didn’t feel alienated or uncomfortable around him, but instead, there was a sort of…

strange familiarity.

Even though they had only met once.

How odd…

–

Tang Xi returned home and took a nap.

In the afternoon, she went to the hospital to visit Tang Jingyun.

As soon as Tang Jingyun saw her, she grabbed her hand and asked where Tang Shiyue was and if he had come back.

Tang Xi pursed her lips.

She had avoided this topic several times already, and if she evaded it again, Tang Jingyun might start to suspect something.

Tang Xi knew that she could not keep it a secret forever.

But the longer she could delay it, the better.

It looked like Tang Jingyun was recovering better and better after the surgery.

“Shiyue got admitted early because his mathematics is excellent.

He’s currently working with a renowned professor in a science and technology project over the summer break.”

Hearing what Tang Xi said, a smile appeared at the bottom of Tang Jingyun’s eyes, “This child has always been good at math.

Call him for me.

It’s been half a month since I last saw him.”

Looking at the expectation in Tang Jingyun’s eyes, Tang Xi tried to muster up some energy, “Mom, not just you, I haven’t called him for several days either.

You don’t know, that professor is very impressive, and the project they’re working on is confidential.

Shiyue is the youngest member in their team, and he can’t miss such an opportunity.”

“Right, I was silly to forget.

This is a great opportunity for Shiyue’s future…” Tang Jingyun nodded, “I’m much better now, too.

The doctor said I can be discharged next week.

When Shiyue comes back, I want to see him off to university.”

“Yes, Mom Tang, you should rest well now.

The most important thing is to recover.”

“Xi Xi, I always feel…

my eyelids twitching, and I’m unsettled inside.”

“Mom, you’re just in the post-operative adjustment phase.

You’re too tired.”

After leaving the hospital, Tang Xi took a taxi to Jingrong Law Firm.

The receptionist saw her, “You must be Miss Tang, right?

Lawyer Chen said to go straight to the second conference room when you arrive.”

“Thank you.” Tang Xi arrived at the conference room and saw Chen Jinyan already waiting inside.

She walked in; she hadn’t had a chance to speak to Chen Jinyan the other day.

Worried about Shiyue’s situation, she hurriedly asked, “Lawyer Chen, is there any progress with my brother’s case?”

“This morning, I sent Qi Lin to visit Fu Chenglin.

They insist that it was Tang Shiyue who instigated the assault, causing head injury to Fu Chenglin.

There are no eyewitnesses to prove that it was Fu Chenglin who provoked it first, and there’s no surveillance footage either.

Meanwhile, Fu Chenglin is still in the hospital.”

Tang Xi bit her lip tightly, “Lawyer Chen, you’re the best lawyer in North City; if even you can’t do anything, does that mean my brother really has to go to prison?”

Chen Jinyan wore a black suit with a dark red tie and rimless glasses, which reflected a faint blue, tranquil light as the man lowered his head.

“Miss Tang, instead of coming to me, you might want to approach Fu Tingzhou.

Fu Chenglin is his clansman; with just one word from him, Fu Chenglin’s parents wouldn’t dare to object.”
