Chapter 68 - 68 67 Movie

?68: Chapter 67: Movie 68: Chapter 67: Movie Tang Xi bit into a steamed bun and blinked her eyes.

When the broadcast sounded for the second time, she finally stood up swiftly.

Realizing the situation, she devoured the bun in a few bites and quickly headed for the elevator.

–

Tang Xi arrived at the cinema.

It seemed there was a new movie release, the place crowded in the evening, especially with couples.

All the seats in the resting area were taken.

She looked around and took out her phone, noticing that Fu Tingzhou had called her twice.

She had been busy in the afternoon and her phone had been on silent; she hadn’t noticed until now, so she hastily made a call back.

“Fu…

Uncle, where are you?” After speaking, she couldn’t help but cough.

There was a sense of wanting to laugh.

She didn’t laugh, but the man on the other end did, his faint smile sounding almost like an illusion to Tang Xi.

“Near the ticket machines.”

“Okay, I’ll be right there…” Before she could finish her sentence, the call was disconnected on the other end.

Being unfamiliar with the place, she scanned the surroundings and was about to rush over when her phone vibrated in her bag.

At this moment, Tang Xi’s phone rang.

It was a call from Chen Jinyan.

“Hello, Chen Lawy…”

“The matter with Fu Chenglin has been resolved; your brother is okay.

Around 5 PM today, Fu Chenglin’s father, Fu Jiang, personally went to withdraw the charge.

I have already instructed my assistant to handle the formalities, your brother will be released tomorrow.”

She exclaimed delightfully, “Really?”

“Yes, only Fu Tingzhou could have persuaded Fu Jiang.

Your brother won’t have any problems, let him prepare for the college entrance exam next year with peace of mind.”

“Um,” Tang Xi clenched her phone tightly.

Fu Tingzhou had interceded, and so, her brother was safe.

It seemed as if in an instant, the sky had cleared.

The weight on her chest was lifted.

She took a few steps and then saw the figure standing near the ticket machines.

The man was dressed in neat black sportswear, tall and imposing, a stark contrast to his usually stern and harsh demeanor in a suit, he now seemed more casual and carefree.

To Tang Xi, it was rare to see him like this.

He blended in almost perfectly with the young college couples around him.

A few girls blushed and came up to flirt, but they were indifferently rejected by Fu Tingzhou.

Tang Xi knew that she shouldn’t harbor any fantasies about this man.

Yet, she didn’t know when it had started, but she hadn’t been able to completely detach herself from this whirlwind of emotions as she thought she could, perhaps since the first time she saw him in the lecture hall five years ago, his image had been etched in her heart.

Fu Tingzhou seemed to have seen her, Tang Xi approached with her head lowered, “Sorry, my phone was on silent.” After pausing for a few seconds and hearing no response, she added, “Thank you for my brother’s matter.”

The man’s gaze fell on her arm, “What happened to your arm?”

Only then did Tang Xi realize, she usually wore long sleeves and pants, and even more so in the hospital.

Now, wearing a light blue dress, her arms were exposed, revealing the chronic needle punctures from frequent blood tests.

Occasional blood donations do not leave marks.

But Tang Xi was different; the accumulation of years of frequent punctures left purple bruises on her arms that could not heal.

She was startled and hid her arms behind her back, her voice very soft, “Mosquito bites…”

Fu Tingzhou seemed to have asked casually and did not intend to delve deeper.

“Is Tang Shiyue your brother?

His mother’s name is Tang Jingyun, what is your relationship with Tang Jingyun?” he had looked up the information, Tang Jingyun was the head of an orphanage and was acquainted with his own mother.

Fu Tingzhou remembered that his mother once mentioned she had supported an orphan girl since childhood, was very satisfied with her, gentle and kind, and wanted him to marry her when she was critically ill.

That was Tang Xi.

But how could Tang Xi be an orphan, isn’t she the second miss of the Su Family?

The woman bit her lip tightly, her lips gradually turning pale.

“If I say…” She hesitated, about to speak.

At this moment, the sound of ticket checking and entrance announcements came from the broadcast.

She looked at his back, shaking her head, not understanding what she was doing.

Telling him that she had a miserable life, that she was Su Mengshu’s blood bank, an adopted daughter of the Su Family, her biological mother a murderer, her father’s whereabouts unknown.

Would he then feel less disgust towards her?

Or, would her tragic life story gain her some of his sympathy?

With less than a month until she leaves here, what’s the point of this brief sympathy?

She is not Su Mengshu, not the one he loves.

Cheap pity, she does not need it.

–

The movie soon started.

Tang Xi and Fu Tingzhou walked into the cinema hall.

The light instantly went dark, not many seats were taken, the hall was quite empty, she sat next to Fu Tingzhou, no one around them.

The screen was playing a romantic comedy.

In the briefly brightened light, she looked at the man’s profile.

His profile was sharp and clear in the alternating darkness and white light.

The two-hour movie ended quickly.

She got into Fu Tingzhou’s car, and the man drove towards Longshan Villa.

Throughout the journey, the two said nothing.

Close to home, the man coldly spoke, “Meet mother tomorrow, you should know what to say.”

“Yes, I understand.”

She would carefully play the role of his wife, telling Qin Jianlan how loving they were.

Her demure and understanding demeanor, yet the man didn’t seem pleased; sitting in the back of the car, Fu Tingzhou glanced at the rear-view mirror, saw the woman’s pale and delicate face as she looked out the window, her neckline slender.

“I’ve asked you before, what’s your relationship with Tang Jingyun.”

He initially looked up her information, her birth mother was Xia Minjun.

Tang Xi’s fingers slowly clenched, relaxed after a few seconds, but her body was tense, she slowly looked up towards him, “Is it that important?”

“Today a brother, who knows if tomorrow you might have a sibling who’s done something wrong and needs my help, I have to be clear about it.”

“It won’t happen again,” Tang Xi said, “Thank you, Mr.

Fu.”

They returned to Longshan Villa.

The dog, Sixteen, came out enthusiastically to greet them.

Tang Xi bent down to hug Sixteen; Fu Tingzhou, seeing Sixteen completely ignoring himself, bewildered.

He had raised this dog for three years abroad, and brought it back with him when he returned to the country, the dog ignored everyone else, but was unexpectedly enthusiastic about this woman.

Mrs.

Song came out, “Ma’am, I’ve stewed snow fungus and lotus seed soup, have some.”

Tang Xi nodded, she stood up, her body swaying a bit with dizziness.

Mrs.

Song exclaimed, “Ma’am are you okay?”

Fu Tingzhou went upstairs, heard the sound, paused, and turned back down.

Looking at the woman’s pale face, he frowned slightly.

“What happened.”

In his mind, this woman always seemed sickly, very thin, even holding her felt frail.

Tang Xi was startled when Fu Tingzhou approached, was he concerned about her?
