Chapter 73 - 73 72 In Her Name
?73: Chapter 72: In Her Name 73: Chapter 72: In Her Name Tang Xi’s eyes widened.
It was as if she was hearing hallucinations…
He was speaking to her.
Sorry?
She looked up at him, lifting her head.
Fu Tingzhou also lowered his head, and their gazes collided.
Her lips quivered slightly, never had she imagined, such a proud person apologizing to her?
It seemed that in an instant, a myriad of emotions surged in her heart.
She bit her lip, feeling an urge to cry.
After a few seconds, she struggled out of the man’s embrace and said softly, “It’s not your fault…
I know that marrying someone you don’t like is hard.
I lied to you first, thinking that you wouldn’t come back from England…
I never expected that as soon as you returned, you would become Su Mengshu’s boyfriend…”
Fu Tingzhou smelled a faint fragrance on her, and his dark eyes narrowed, “Where were you on the day of the Ningjiang City earthquake?”
“I came to the scene to rescue with the hospital’s support team…”
Fu Tingzhou pursed his lips, “Did you go to Qinshan Middle School?”
On that day, just before the earthquake, Fu Tingzhou was participating in a donation ceremony at Qinshan Middle School.
He had always carried out charity work under the name of Qin Jianlan, sponsoring some poor children’s education.
When the earthquake struck, he was trapped inside.
If not for Su Mengshu’s rescue, Fu Tingzhou would no longer exist in this world.
But at this moment, he once again sensed a familiar scent coming from this woman.
Tang Xi thought for a moment and nodded, “I went there.”
Fu Tingzhou stared intently at her face.
“I went to many places during those days, including Qinshan Middle School.
Many children were trapped there…” Tang Xi remembered, “At Qinshan Middle School, I was buried under the rubble with a stranger, but I arrived too late, that man couldn’t be saved.”
The light in the man’s eyes gradually faded away.
He felt annoyed, what was he just thinking?
He was actually hoping, why wasn’t the person who saved him Tang Xi?
That would be so unfair to Su Mengshu…
“I heard it was Su Mengshu who saved you.” Tang Xi asked softly, “Were you also in Ningjiang City at that time?”
“Mm.” The man responded indifferently.
Tang Xi had a doubt in her mind, but she had never asked it out loud.
That was, Su Mengshu was always inside a tent in Ningjiang City providing psychological counseling, and it was rare to see her come out to participate in rescues…
How did she end up saving Fu Tingzhou?
But this…
had nothing to do with her anymore.
Thinking this, she gave a self-deprecating smile, leaning to the side, waiting for the rescue.
About ten or so minutes later, the rescue team arrived, and the elevator doors were opened.
Tang Xi and Fu Tingzhou walked out.
She watched him drive away, and herself, boarded the bus.
Qiao Na sent her a WeChat message, “Sister Tang Xi, I have arrived, when are you coming over?”
She replied with two words, “Fifteen minutes.”
After getting out of the car, she arrived at the agreed-upon cafe and saw Qiao Na.
The Qiao Na of this moment was completely different from the part-timer Tang Xi remembered…
Dressed in an upscale Chanel-style suit, with a delicate makeup.
But her abdomen, with its faintly visible bulge.
She was pregnant.
Sitting across from her with a troubled face, Qiao Na said, “Sister Tang Xi, I don’t know who else to turn to, I can only beg you to help me.
I want to terminate this pregnancy, Mr.
Xu is getting married and he doesn’t know I’m pregnant.
If he finds out I’m pregnant, that woman won’t let me off the hook…
I dare not go to the hospital under my own name, they could find out…”
Tang Xi furrowed her brow, “What do you want me to help you with?”
Looking at Qiao Na’s face, she pursed her lips, “Qiao Na, your choice back then was simply to save your mother, but now your mother…”
Qiao Na closed her eyes, speaking in agony, “Her condition is very bad, she’s in a coma, relying on a ventilator to live.”
Tang Xi was shocked, “How did it suddenly become so serious?”
Qiao Na shook her head with a bitter smile, “That woman, she’s Mr.
Xu’s fiancée.
She knows about me, found my mother in secret and told her I was the one interfering with her and Mr.
Xu, my mother couldn’t withstand such a shock, and passed out without regaining consciousness.
She is a very ruthless woman, Mr.
Xu treats me well, but he is going to marry her.
But I’m not the third person…
Sister Tang Xi, I’m not, I knew Mr.
Xu first.
It’s just…
he never acknowledges me as his girlfriend…
Maybe in the eyes of these wealthy businessmen, we are just…
side characters, tools for venting….”
Tang Xi looked deeply at her, she hadn’t known Qiao Na for long.
They met in a part-time job group, she knew Qiao Na came from a poor family, with a mother who was seriously ill and expensive medical bills.
Qiao Na, who hadn’t even graduated from college, was supporting a family by herself.
“So what are your plans for the future?”
“I have no means to contend with that woman, Mr.
Xu just likes my face, he would not give up an arranged family marriage for me.
That woman is from a well-off family, I can’t win against her.
I can only take it one step at a time, wait until Mr.
Xu gets tired of me, then I can leave….
But before that, I still need money, I need to save my mother.”
She looked at Tang Xi with a pleading gaze, “I can’t let them find out I’m pregnant, I dare not go to a large hospital by name, but the baby is slowly growing…
it will soon become noticeable, I can’t drop out of school…
I’m too scared to go to a small clinic, I’m afraid of dying….”
Tang Xi slowly began to speak, “So you came to find me because…?”
“I don’t have many friends in North City, and I can’t let people from school know I’m pregnant….
Sister Tang Xi, I beg you, I want to use your name to terminate the pregnancy….”
Tang Xi understood.
Qiao Na wanted to use her identity to register at the hospital and have the abortion.
Finding a standard small hospital, no one will notice.
If this was in the past, Tang Xi would be unwilling to help, she is no saint and isn’t willing to damage her own reputation.
But now, Tang Xi agreed.
Her expression calm, she nodded.
Qiao Na was somewhat surprised, but after she reacted, she sobbed while thanking her profusely.
Tang Xi stood up, went out with her to get a taxi and headed to a standard small hospital on the outskirts of North City.
She took out her ID card, registered, and watched Qiao Na enter the operating room.
Tang Xi sat outside on the rest chair, placing her hand on her abdomen.
The woman gazed downwards.
She took out an ultrasound report from her bag, which was hers.
She tore up the report and threw it into the bin on the side.
Tang Xi picked up Qiao Na’s surgery form, bearing her own name on it.
Why she agreed to help Qiao Na, she could have simply refused.
But Tang Xi was afraid too…
Her circumstances were different from Qiao Na’s, the people she met were different, but similarly, Fu Tingzhou and Su Mengshu would also not tolerate her pregnancy, and every time, the man would warn her to take the pill, there were about twenty days left until their relationship came to an end.
If they discovered she was pregnant by then, she couldn’t keep this child either.
If that’s the case, might as well…
Let them believe that she had already terminated the pregnancy.
