After Divorce, Hidden Marriage Husband Became Addicted to Me-Chapter 512 - 346:

"Tang Xi, we’re out of sweet and sour sauce, go buy a bottle at the small store by the gate."

Tang Jingyun’s voice came from inside the kitchen.

Tang Xi touched her daughter’s hair, nodded in agreement, and then took her phone and walked out the door.

She had been here a few days ago and was familiar with the area. There were two shops by the south gate of the community, fully stocked with grain and food products, so Tang Xi walked in.

The shopkeeper was about the same age as Tang Jingyun and very enthusiastic. Upon seeing Tang Xi, she recognized her, "Jingyun has been living here for such a long time, and this is the first time I’m seeing you. You’re her daughter, right? She isn’t in good health, and as her children, you should have come to see her sooner."

Tang Xi nodded, "Yes, Auntie, you’re right. I should have come to take care of her earlier."

In a small community, any little thing can spread throughout the entire area.

Last time Tang Xi came, rumors were already flying around the community that Tang Jingyun’s daughter had come to visit, a beautiful girl who had conflicts with her mother in the past and thus hadn’t come to see her.

These small shops are like gossip gathering centers for the community. Now, the warm-hearted shopkeeper approached Tang Xi, "Did you have a conflict with Jingyun too? After all, she’s your mother. It’s not right for you to not visit her for so long when she’s sick. You look like you should be working, not based locally?"

"I work in North City," Tang Xi simply replied.

"Oh my, a big city!" exclaimed the shopkeeper. "How old are you, do you have a boyfriend? With your qualities, there should be many suitors, right? I have a nephew, a local, who works at a foreign company..."

Tang Xi was momentarily stunned.

She let out a wry smile.

Seeing the shopkeeper’s enthusiasm for matchmaking, she quickly said, "My daughter is nearly five years old."

The shopkeeper’s loud voice came to an abrupt stop, her face flickered with embarrassment but then she laughed heartily, "I knew it! With your beauty, you must have a boyfriend. That man who drove the BMW, he’s your husband, right? When he drove in, I took notice. That car must be worth several million."

Before, she had thought it was just a taxi ride.

"You must be Aunt Fang, I’ve heard my mother mention you, saying you’ve been helping her these past few years. I’ll visit you at your house another day," Tang Xi said.

"Sure, sure."

From the kitchen came the sound of something falling to the ground, like a porcelain bowl breaking. In the living room, only Fu Tingzhou and Tangtang were there, with the girl concentrating on watching TV. Fu Tingzhou walked quickly into the kitchen and saw the broken porcelain bowl on the floor, and after making sure Tang Jingyun was fine, he let out a small sigh of relief.

Then he said to Tang Jingyun, "You go rest for a bit, I’ll clean this up."

As he spoke, he rolled up his sleeves amid Tang Jingyun’s shocked gaze and started to clean the floor with the sweeping tools.

Tang Jingyun was somewhat flustered and quickly said, "No need, no need, I can do it. You... you don’t have to... here, please..."

Fu Tingzhou noticed Tang Jingyun’s form of address was ’you,’ a respectful way to speak. He looked at her, clearly seeing her shock and confusion, and even though he had questions himself, at that moment he only said, "I’ve heard from Tang Xi about your illness. The medical technology at An City Hospital is average. My suggestion is to have you return to North City, where I can arrange systematic treatment for you, which also makes it easier for Tang Xi to take care of you."

"Return... to North City," Tang Jingyun murmured, her lips trembling.

Of course, she wanted to go back.

After all, she had lived half her life in North City. freeweɓnovēl.coɱ

She hesitantly looked at Fu Tingzhou.

It was because she was avoiding this man that she had no choice but to leave North City, and Tang Xi also broke off contact to prevent implicating her mother. Now, Tang Jingyun felt a sense of panic, "Please don’t joke about this..."

"Mr. Fu," she said, nearly pleading, "I know you’re a person of high status and I can’t afford to offend someone of your standing. Tangtang is all grown up now. If you have even a little place in your heart for Tang Xi, then treat her well and don’t hurt her anymore."

Fu Tingzhou’s brows were tightly knit,

"I won’t hurt her."

Tang Jingyun simply didn’t believe it, having personally witnessed this man’s frightening methods. After Tang Xi left, Fu Tingzhou had searched everywhere for information about her, even coming to Tang Jingyun.

He had used some means.

But in the end, he didn’t find out anything.

Because Tang Jingyun truly knew nothing.

Tang Xi was afraid of implicating Tang Jingyun, so she also kept the news from her.
