After Divorce, Hidden Marriage Husband Became Addicted to Me-Chapter 12: Leaving Early or Late, the Outcome is the Same

Tang Xi looked at the text message on her phone, lying in bed, unable to sleep despite being extremely tired.

She thought of her biological mother, whom she had never met. She only knew she was born in a prison and sent to an orphanage, where she was raised by the director Tang Jingyun until she was adopted by the Su Family at the age of eight.

Tang mom said that her biological mother died in prison when she was two or three years old.

She didn't know what crime her birth mother had committed; the word "murderer" was tremendously heavy.

The next morning she had the day off, Tang Xi went to the hospital ward to visit Qin Jianlan.

Auntie Rong took very good care of Qin Jianlan; her complexion was healthy, and there were no bedsores on her body.

Tang Xi prepared a basin of warm water and helped wipe Qin Jianlan's cheeks.

Having grown up in the orphanage, she often saw Qin Jianlan, who was passionate about charity work and was gentle and kind. In Tang Xi's heart, she had already come to regard Qin Jianlan as family.

"Auntie Qin, I met Fu Tingzhou. He is indeed as outstanding as you said, but we just weren't fated to be together. We'll be getting divorced soon. Don't worry, even if I'm no longer his wife, I'll still come visit you when I have the time," she said in a soft, tender voice, holding tightly Qin Jianlan's hand, "Auntie Qin, you'll definitely get better."

It rained continuously for a week in North City.

At mealtime, Tang Xi overheard Su Mengshu telling Xia Minjun that Fu Tingzhou had gone to England but he would hurry back for her birthday.

Ever since they decided to get divorced, and he stood her up due to a car accident, Tang Xi had not seen him again.

So, he had gone to England.

But this had nothing to do with her. That man, distant as the stars, was unattainable.

This ridiculous marriage, whether ended sooner or later, would result in the same outcome.

Soon it would be Su Mengshu's birthday; in previous years, Mengshu would invite her friends to rent a private room, and her friends would inevitably give her skincare products and handbags as gifts.

But now things were different since Su Mengshu became Fu Tingzhou's girlfriend.

She now mingled with some of the famous socialites of North City.

Coincidentally, Tang Xi's birthday was the same day as Su Mengshu's.

Tang Jingyun had found a note left by Tang Xi's biological mother in her swaddle, stating her birthday was on May 10th.

On her birthday, Tang Xi went to the traditional medicine hospital ward to visit Tang Jingyun.

Tang Jingyun, now dependent on dialysis, was gaunt with a sallow complexion, but she showed a kind, gentle smile at the sight of Tang Xi, "Xi is here."

"Tang mom, how have you been feeling these past few days?"

"Much better."

However, those words were merely to comfort herself and Tang Xi.

At this moment, Tang Jingyun was in a state of complete exhaustion.

As a doctor, Tang Xi was very aware of it.

Patients with uremia cannot drink water, so Tang Xi was peeling an apple for her, but within half an hour, a tall and slender handsome young man walked into the ward, "Sis, you're here."

"Shiyue," Tang Xi said with a smile looking at him.

This was Tang Jingyun's son, Tang Shiyue, a seventeen-year-old senior in high school.

"Sis, look what I brought you." Tang Shiyue said with a sunny smile, holding a small cake and a bowl of ramen in his hand.

Tang Xi's eyes were warm with tears, it was here that she felt the warmth of her family.

A candle was lit atop the eight-inch cake as Tang Shiyue asked her to close her eyes and make a wish.

With her hands clasped together, Tang Xi closed her eyes, wishing for their mother's illness to get better.

Tang Jingyun looked at Tang Xi with affection, "Xi, it's about time you found a boyfriend. Mom really hopes to see you get married before she closes her eyes for the last time; that way, I can rest easy."

A lump formed in Tang Xi's throat, "Mom... you won't have any trouble, medical technology has advanced so much, your illness will get better."

Tang Shiyue said, "Yes, Mom, it's my sister's birthday today, you're definitely going to get better."

Tears welled up in Tang Jingyun's eyes. Having been tormented by illness for many years, she embraced her two children. Although Tang Xi was not her own, she had grown up in her welfare home and had been treated like her own daughter. If 15 years ago, Su Kangrong and his wife hadn't come to the welfare home to adopt Tang Xi, she would have raised her too.

After eating the longevity noodles, Tang Xi stayed in the hospital ward talking with Tang Jingyun at noon, while Tang Shiyue left soon after due to an afternoon class.

Tang Xi stayed until around five in the afternoon when she was urged by one call after another.

Because tonight was Su Mengshu's birthday party, Su Mengshu had invited many socialites to celebrate on the yacht, and it was said that Fu Tingzhou would also be there. To maintain her 'good sister' façade, Su Mengshu naturally needed to drag Tang Xi along for comparison.

She didn't want to go, but if she didn't, she would face a lecture from Xia Minjun...

Better to avoid trouble where possible.

"Mom, I have to go now, I'll come to see you tomorrow."

She took the bus to the birthday party location, the celebratory yacht at North City Harbor.

Once on board, several socialites were chatting on the deck.

Surrounded by them, Su Mengshu was dressed in a pink lace gown with a tiara on her head, looking every bit the princess.

"Mengshu, you're so kind-hearted to invite that ingrate of a sister to such a high-class gathering. Look at how she's dressed, like a complete bumpkin."

"Yeah, Mengshu, look at her - jeans and a white shirt, and coming empty-handed, it's so shabby... She clearly doesn't take your birthday seriously at all."

Su Mengshu smiled gently, "After all, she is my sister, what does a gift matter... "

"I heard that young master Fu is also attending your birthday party tonight, Mengshu, he treats you so well."

"Yes, I've heard he just got off the plane today and is rushing over here. Young master Fu's feelings for you are pretty clear, and when you become Mrs. Fu, don't forget to look out for us sisters."

Listening to the sycophantic voices around her, Su Mengshu's face showed a smug smile, as if she was really about to become Mrs. Fu. Her gaze settled on Tang Xi, who was sitting in a nearby resting area.

A young gentleman approached her to strike up a conversation.

Even in such plain clothes, some young gentleman fancies her. What is there to like about such country bumpkins!

Su Mengshu's face darkened. She feared that the longer she waited, if Fu Tingzhou found out it was Tang Xi who had saved her, then she would be finished. Having Tang Xi around was like a ticking time bomb.

Standing up, she said, "You guys keep chatting, I'm going to the restroom."

Su Mengshu walked into the cabin and took out her phone to dial a number, "Have you found the person you were supposed to find?"

"Don't worry, everything's arranged... two thugs; they'll definitely take care of it for you tonight."

After hanging up the phone, Su Mengshu was in a good mood, Tang Xi, tonight, I'll make sure you're in for a treat!

She lightly stroked her belly; Su Mengshu had been injecting ovulation drugs for a month, tonight everything was ready, not only would she remove Tang Xi, the ticking time bomb, but she would also successfully secure Fu Tingzhou.
