30 -29: Picking Up from the Airport
The evening had set in, and within the Su Family Restaurant, a warm atmosphere enveloped the space.
No one noticed Tang Xi’s return, except for Auntie Zhang, who was carrying a serving tray.
She saw Tang Xi and exclaimed with surprise, “Second Miss, you’re back.”
Su Mengshu turned pale and looked shocked as she exchanged a glance with Xia Minjun, clearly unable to believe it.
What, Tang Xi had come back?
Tang Xi had changed her shoes in the foyer and walked into the living room.
Su Mengshu hurried over and stared at Tang Xi standing there, her eyes wide, “How did you get out!”
Tang Xi, looking at Su Mengshu’s frantic state, curved the corners of her lips slightly, “Yes, indeed, I’m out.”
“Tang Xi, I didn’t expect you to be so capable.
To think you could get out of the police station after stealing, did you sneak out!” Su Mengshu was so shocked that her words were incoherent.
“I got out, and you all seem to be disappointed.
Thanks to the police for clarifying that I didn’t steal anything.
As for why that ring ended up on me, I believe the truth will come out soon.” As Tang Xi watched Su Mengshu’s face grow paler and her guilty, defensive demeanor, she faintly smiled, “Evil deeds will bring about one’s own destruction.
Su Mengshu, the police will also find out the things you’ve done.”
She walked directly towards the stairs, while Su Mengshu cursed loudly on the first floor and Xia Minjun quickly came out to comfort her daughter.
She glared at Tang Xi, “You little bitch, you got lucky this time!”
Tang Xi paused in her steps.
A bitter smile spread across her lips; this was the person who she had called ‘Mom’ for 15 years.
She turned to look at Xia Minjun, the woman’s gaze was cold, “So, Xia Minjun, you knew about this too, right?
You knew that Su Mengshu deliberately framed me, so your whole family has been hoping for me to go to jail, haven’t you?”
Seeing her gaze, Xia Minjun suddenly felt a chill down her spine.
The bitter look in the young woman’s eyes was so cold, it almost frightened her, but since they had already torn their facades…
Xia Minjun spoke bluntly, “Tang Xi, you were never a part of our Su Family.
We just adopted you out of kindness.
Besides, you say Mengshu and I framed you; do you have any evidence?
Without evidence, that’s defamation!”
Su Kangrong walked out of the restaurant, stopping Xia Minjun.
Then he looked at Tang Xi, his eyes revealing a hint of joy mixed with…
the guilt of a guilty conscience, “I received a call from Mr.
Xu this morning; he said the Xu family won’t pursue your responsibility, which is good…
Xixi, your dad has also been running around for the past few days for your sake.
You should understand your dad’s hardship.”
The image of Su Kangrong as a father had already collapsed in Tang Xi’s heart.
At this moment, just hanging her gaze low, she found it all absurd and laughable.
She didn’t want to see any of these three people before her.
“I will move out of here.” After saying that, she turned and walked upstairs.
Her bedroom was in the attic on the third floor.
She had once truly considered this place her home.
But it ultimately wasn’t.
She wanted to leave this place, leave this hypocritical Su Family.
Tang Xi’s luggage was actually very minimal, a small suitcase, a few clothes, daily necessities, and mostly books.
Thick medical books.
She left the Su Family early in the morning.
Before leaving, she said goodbye to Auntie Lin.
In the 15 years at the Su Family, Auntie Lin was the only one who had been somewhat nice to her.
She didn’t want to stay in this place for another minute.
Tang Xi took the morning off to go and look for a rental.
After looking around, I finally settled in a small complex in Qinghe Lane.
It’s quite far from the hospital, but there’s a subway within a 10-minute walk from the door, which means convenient transportation, and most importantly, it’s cheap.
Almost all the houses here are for rent—old, dilapidated buildings with five or six floors, surrounded by some disorder.
Anyone could rent a place here, with all types mixed together, but having a place to stay and leaving the Su Family, Tang Xi already felt content.
She rented a top-floor apartment and got a discount of three hundred on the rent because of a leaky roof.
After a busy morning cleaning, she opened the windows and looked at the living room bathed in sunlight—a one-bedroom, one-living room setup.
Dust danced in the air.
Despite being tired, she felt a sense of freedom.
Having lived here for a week, the soundproofing of the place was not great.
At night, one could often hear strange noises as well as drunkards knocking on the door, but Tang Xi gradually got used to it.

“Xixi, do me a favor, I have a surgery this afternoon.”
“Hmm, what do you need?
Just tell me.”
“Yixing has a friend coming to North City, and he hopes I can help entertain them.
I’ve sent the details to your WeChat.
Can you go pick them up from the airport and arrange a hotel for her?”
In the morning, Tang Xi had done a thorough cleaning at home, and around two in the afternoon, she hurried to the airport.
She took out her phone and looked at the message Ruan Youqing had sent her.
“Lin Quan, black hoodie, T3 arrival gate.”
Tang Xi wanted to ask for more details, maybe a photo, but when she made a call, Ruan Youqing didn’t answer, probably in the operating room.
She seldom left North City and had never taken a flight before.
She felt a bit lost as she entered the hall, but after asking around, she found her way to the arrival gate, which was swarming with people. free𝑤ebnovel.com
Tang Xi scanned the crowd, and as people gathered to pick up their friends began to disperse, she locked eyes with a tall, slender young man wearing a black hoodie.
In that moment, Tang Xi was stunned; as she looked at him, he was also looking at her.
While watching her, he took out his phone for a quick glance, then continued to look around, apparently waiting for someone.
Another ten minutes passed, and there were hardly any people left around.
Tang Xi slowly walked over and gently coughed twice, “Hello, may I ask if you are…
Lin Quan?”
The young man frowned lightly and involuntarily his gaze followed the voice to settle on the woman’s face.
Her face was dotted with fine beads of sweat, apparently from having run over.
Her skin was very white, her cheeks a touch red at the moment, and her hair casually tied in a high ponytail made her look fresh and lively.
Xiao Chi pinched his phone and spoke softly, obviously surprised, “Tang Xi?”
Tang Xi’s eyes brightened—she was recognized?
It must’ve been Ruan Youqing who talked about her; it seemed she had found the right person.
“You must be Zhao Yixing’s friend, Lin Quan, right?
I’m standing in for Ruan Youqing to pick you up.
She’s tied up with surgery,” Tang Xi said apologetically, “By the way, you probably didn’t eat on the plane, did you?
Let’s get something to eat first, then go to the hotel.
Have you booked a hotel?”
The man hesitated and nodded, then followed her to leave.
Tang Xi helped him with his luggage.
Xiao Chi looked at the woman’s slight and slender figure, then reacted and slowly reached out to take over, “I can handle it myself; you lead the way.”
He never expected to encounter Tang Xi here.
As he was pondering how to approach her, she unexpectedly came to him.
The corners of the man’s mouth lifted subtly—if she came to him willingly, then he couldn’t be blamed.
