After Divorce, Hidden Marriage Husband Became Addicted to Me-Chapter 4: Compensation, Causing Trouble
Chapter 4 - 4: Compensation, Causing Trouble
Thinking of this man's harsh and cruel methods, Su Mengshu felt a chill run down her spine.
"Mengshu, when we were buried under that wreckage, did you notice a White Jade Pendant?" Since waking up, Fu Tingzhou had realized that the jade pendant he always wore was missing, presumably lost in the ruins.
This was a gift from his mother, and he had always worn it, which meant a great deal to him.
Su Mengshu knew nothing about any White Jade Pendant, after all, it wasn't her who saved him, she didn't even know if it was round or flat.
Maybe Fu Tingzhou had given it to that female doctor, she felt somewhat guilty, but at this moment she could only bite the bullet, "Ah, that... I'm not really sure, the situation was too urgent at the time..."
Fu Tingzhou's dark eyes scanned the woman's face, scrutinizing slightly.
Su Mengshu forced herself to maintain a calm smile, the man didn't ask further, perhaps, it really was lost.
He opened the drawer, took out a chest card from the First Hospital, and handed it to her, "This is yours, take good care of it."
At that time in the ruins, his consciousness was scattered, he couldn't see anything clearly, he only remembered that the woman was dressed in white, with a clear and gentle voice.
This chest card was what he had pulled from her clothes with his last bit of strength, and it was because of this that he was able to find Su Mengshu.
Thanking her for saving his life.
He originally planned to give Su Mengshu some money, but after meeting her, Su Mengshu wanted to be his girlfriend. Fu Tingzhou remembered the time he was buried in the ruins for six hours, without her, he couldn't have lasted so long.
And thinking of the wife his mother forcibly arranged for him to marry, whom he couldn't help but marry, a trace of intense disgust flashed in his eyes, such a greedy and vain woman, Su Mengshu with her gentle and kind nature was clearly a hundred times better than that woman.
But Su Mengshu obviously became uneasy upon seeing this chest card, forcing a smile in front of Fu Tingzhou. She quickly returned to the Su Family, panic shouting, "Maid Zhang, where is the suitcase I brought back from Ningjiang City?"
"It's in the storage room."
Su Mengshu hurriedly ran to the storage room, opened the suitcase, and looked at the items inside which were some basic necessities she had taken to support the disaster area in Ningjiang City, she picked up a white coat with Tang Xi's chest card on it.
Su Mengshu trembled as if struck by lightning.
She and Tang Xi lived in the same tent, perhaps they mistakenly wore each other's clothes in the rush.
So, it was Tang Xi who saved Fu Tingzhou that day in the ruins!!!
She became more and more panicked, unable to calm down in the storage room for a long time, fortunately, Fu Tingzhou knew nothing about it.
Watching Tang Xi and Fu Tingzhou interact, Tang Xi probably didn't know yet...
Thinking of this, Su Mengshu let out a long sigh of relief.
-
The wound on Tang Xi's back had almost healed, but it left an ugly scar.
In the changing room, her colleague Ruan Youqing couldn't help but sigh, looking at Tang Xi's back, fair and smooth like fine white porcelain. But this scar marred its beauty, "I'm afraid you won't be able to wear backless dresses from now on."
Tang Xi adjusted her clothes, "No wearing, no problem, it's nothing."
She just felt sad for not saving that man properly.

If she had arrived a bit earlier, noticed the person buried in the ruins sooner, could she have saved a life?
"Next Monday the hospital is holding a commendation meeting, and the list has already been announced. My teacher said you're included. After all, you performed very well in the disaster area this time."
"I've just been formally employed; I'll just focus on working well for now."
Just after leaving, Tang Xi's phone rang.
Vice President Zhang asked her to come over.
Zhang Tinghua is the deputy director in charge of thoracic surgery, and Tang Xi's mentor; she had grown under his observation in the department, performing excellently in her support for the disaster area this time.
"Tang Xi, keep up the good work. At next Monday's recognition ceremony, prepare to represent the newly employed medical staff with a speech. Our hospital plans to promote an ambassador, and it seems you've been tentatively chosen."
Tang Xi was surprised and delighted, "Thank you, teacher, I definitely won't let the hospital down."
However, she did not expect that at the Monday recognition ceremony, the one recognized was Su Mengshu.
And this recognition was broadcasted live by official media.
Su Mengshu, with her delicate makeup and pure smile, spoke in front of the entire hospital. She appeared like a positive energy goddess, instantly receiving a lot of praise from netizens.
Tang Xi bit her lip hard, her eyelashes drooping and dim.
Ruan Youqing whispered aside, "How could they do this? It's so unfair. Su Mengshu didn't even go to the site for the rescue, she was just doing psychological counseling in the tent the whole time, and she initially went to the disaster area just to chase Cheng Yunlang."
Aside from Ruan Youqing, many colleagues from the rescue team quietly discussed this.
The unfairness was now public.
The wounds on Tang Xi's back seemed to throb faintly.
After the recognition ceremony, Vice President Zhang found Tang Xi alone and expressed his regret. The list had already been decided in the meeting, then suddenly someone mentioned that Su Mengshu's boyfriend was Fu Tingzhou, and just like that, Tang Xi without any backing was replaced.
"You're still young, keep working hard, opportunities will come."
Tang Xi knew, Su Mengshu got the spot by relying on the power of her backer, Fu Tingzhou.
In the face of absolute power, no one dares to resist, even if it's unfair.
Su Mengshu became the primary hospital ambassador, her photo hung in the most conspicuous place of the hospital outpatient department, the hospital used her image for publicity, and Su Mengshu's videos delivering positive energy speeches several times, her Weibo fans increased by hundreds of thousands in a short period.
She even gained significant popularity online.
Tang Xi arrived at the hospital in the morning to take over the shift from Sister Sun, and then went to the outpatient department.
The first thing she saw was Su Mengshu's life-size standee.
Her steps faltered, her pupils slightly shrunk.
At five-thirty in the afternoon, when it was time to leave work, she received a call from Ruan Youqing, her voice anxious and panicked.
"Tang Xi, I've caused a disaster! What should I do!"
"What happened?" Tang Xi had just changed her clothes in the changing room, she picked up her bag and walked out while responding, "What's the matter?"
"I was riding an electric bike and accidentally hit a car."
Tang Xi frowned, "Are you okay?"
On the other end, Ruan Youqing's voice turned teary, "I'm fine, but the other party is asking me for 180,000 in compensation, I don't have that much money..."
Tang Xi hurriedly asked, "180,000? Where are you now, I'm coming right over."
"I'm at Nanshan Tang."
Nanshan Tang sounds like an elegant tea house by its name, but it's actually a murky den for wealthy folks in North City.
Luxury cars were parked at the entrance, she saw Ruan Youqing sitting by the roadside and quickly walked over, "Youqing, how are you doing?"
Ruan Youqing was crying and shaking her head, bursting into tears, "Tang Xi, what should I do... the other party asked me to come here... to discuss compensation. But I don't have that much money, 180,000..."
Tang Xi grasped her hand, steadied herself and said, "I'll stay with you."
The two arrived at the designated private room door. It was Tang Xi's first time here, she rarely frequented such entertainment venues, only once had she worked part-time as a waitress in an entertainment club, she knocked on the door, and went in with Ruan Youqing.
