40 -39: A Joint Excursion
“I’m sorry, Doctor, but I think my grandfather has mistaken you for someone else…” Shu Xuyang gently patted the old Mr.
Shu’s hand, “Grandfather, please let go, she is a doctor here.”
Tang Xi also spoke gently, “Sir, I am a doctor here.”
The door of the ward was pushed open from outside, and young master Shu Xuyang of the Shu Family looked up to see the newcomer and called out, “Dad, Grandfather has woken up, but he mistook this lady doctor for our aunt.”
A middle-aged man dressed in a smoke-gray suit, handsome and refined, approached.
Shu Rongjun glanced at Tang Xi and was stunned.
It’s so similar!
These eyes, they are too similar to his sister’s.
No wonder the old man mistook her.
Although Mr.
Shu had awoken, his mental state was average, and he soon let go weakly.
Eldest son Shu Rongjun escorted Tang Xi out of the ward, “Excuse me for asking this, but I wonder who your parents are…”
“Dr.
Tang, you’re here, the patient in bed 3 is in bad shape, breathing rapidly and weakly.” A nurse hurried over.
Tang Xi immediately followed.
Shu Rongjun watched Tang Xi leave, he took out his phone and dialed his assistant’s number, “Check someone for me, there’s a female doctor with the surname Tang in the cardiothoracic surgery department of the first hospital, get her files for me.”
Within half an hour, Shu Rongjun’s phone vibrated.
A message came through with Tang Xi’s personal information.
Shu Rongjun glanced at it and saw Su Kangrong written in the father’s column of Tang Xi’s profile.
She also has an older sister working in this hospital, he might be overthinking it…
Another one, a person who looks a lot like little sister Jingli.
Back in the ward, Mr.
Shu, Shu Huaili, fell asleep again after regaining consciousness due to the effect of the medication, while Shu Xuyang said, “Dad, Grandfather just mistook that female doctor for aunt.
Aunt has been missing since she left home twenty-five years ago.”
Shu Rongjun sighed, “Your grandfather was mistaken; over the years, there have been too many people who resemble Jingli.
Every time it’s hope followed by disappointment…”
Mr.
Shu Shu has a total of three children: eldest son Shu Rongjun, second son Shu Ronghao, and youngest daughter Shu Jingli.
Twenty-five years ago, Mr.
Shu’s most beloved youngest daughter, Shu Jingli, had a conflict with the family, left in anger, then unexpectedly became pregnant and had a daughter.
Since then, there has been no further news.
Every day Mr.
Shu lives with guilt, and ever since Mr.
Shu started searching broadly for the granddaughter lost to the outside world, many have come to impersonate her.
Many young women who look alike come to falsely claim kinship, all for the sake of coveting the Shu Family’s wealth.
In the evening, Shu Mingluo rushed to the ward to discuss the person he saw who looked a lot like Shu Jingli with Shu Rongjun.
“Yes, it is Tang Xi, a doctor here.
Dad, you’ve already met her.”
“She indeed resembles her, but she is the daughter of the Su Family; we were mistaken…”
–
Wednesday morning at nine o’clock.
Tang Xi’s phone rang.
Xiao Chi’s voice came through from the other end, “Give me the address; I’ll come to pick you up.”
His voice was muffled; Xiao Chi drove to the Su Family, but was told by the Su Family’s servants that Tang Xi had moved out long ago.
“What?”
“You didn’t forget what we’re supposed to do today, did you?!” Xiao Chi’s voice was somewhat impatiently urging, “Give me the address; remember you promised me.”
Tang Xi gave the address.
Xiao Chi hadn’t heard of this place before.
He set up the navigation and the car wound around, finally stopping in front of a low, shabby residential building.
He got out of the car, took off his sunglasses, and frowned – what kind of place was this?
He had lived in North City for so many years, yet he was unaware that such a poor, dilapidated place existed here.
How could this woman live here!
Xiao Chi walked up the stairs.
The soundproofing here was mediocre at best, the air carried a hint of mildew, and as a door opened, the woman standing at the doorway was scantily clad with heavy makeup, her body exuding the scent of cheap perfume.
She eyed Xiao Chi with a sparkle in her gaze, “Handsome, wanna come play in my room?
We can play anything you want…”
Xiao Chi frowned as he made his way up the stairs to the fifth floor.
Just then, Tang Xi opened the door,
“I’ve finished packing.”
Xiao Chi looked at the small suitcase in the woman’s hand.
As a man, he instinctively took it from her, lifting it slightly, “Is this all you have?
We’re going to stay somewhere for a week.”
“Yes, this is enough,” Tang Xi closed the door.
Following Xiao Chi down the stairs, passing the third floor, that woman opened her door again, applying nail polish while giving Tang Xi a cold snort, then cooed seductively, “Mister, I am much cheaper than her, come see me when you have time…”
Tang Xi’s face turned red.
She met Xiao Chi’s amused gaze.
“I…
I don’t know her.
She’s just a tenant here,” she still wanted to explain a bit.
Although she didn’t know Xiao Chi very well.
Xiao Chi raised an eyebrow, watching her face flush white, seeing her awkward and flustered demeanor; he simply felt this woman was incredibly clear and pure, like the bright moonlight, untainted by any filth…
He just casually responded and didn’t ask Tang Xi why she was living there instead of with the Su Family; these things were none of his business.
Xiao Chi approached her merely for a bit of fun, just to make Qiao Jing happy.
Tang Xi watched his cold and aloof figure behind the sunglasses and softly smiled.
How could this rich young master possibly be interested in someone like her?
It was nothing more than a fleeting amusement.
She didn’t bother explaining further, following Xiao Chi down the stairs and getting into his car.
Eventually, the car stopped at the airport.
Xiao Chi’s phone rang, “I know, I’ll be there shortly.”
Taking Tang Xi, he boarded the plane.
Just before getting on, Tang Xi caught a glimpse of a logo on the plane; she must have been overthinking it, right?
How could this be Fu Family’s private plane?
No sooner had she walked in, someone said, “Xiao Chi, we’ve been waiting for you.”
Xiao Chi shrugged his shoulders, then wrapped an arm around Tang Xi’s shoulder, and before she could react, introduced her to the people inside the cabin, “My girlfriend, Tang Xi.”
Laughter erupted in the cabin.
“Not bad, Xiao Chi.
We had heard you changed your taste but didn’t expect it to be true.
You like this pure and innocent ‘little cabbage’?”
“Vivi must be heartbroken.
Xiao Chi, who used to loiter among the flowers, has actually settled down.”
“Quite interesting, Xiao Chi.
You’ve got taste for sure.
Pure is pure, and she’s pretty enough too.”
“What are you saying, as if Xiao Chi would fancy someone who isn’t beautiful?
Hahaha….”
But Tang Xi’s face was growing paler by the second.
She looked at the group of young gentlemen chatting and laughing in the cabin, her eyes landing on the man sitting in the seat with a cold, somber, and aristocratic demeanor.
She had just agreed to accompany Xiao Chi on a vacation to take his mind off things, but she did not know…
That among them was Fu Tingzhou.
Recalling that this was the Fu Family’s private plane, and that Fu Tingzhou had previously mentioned at the Su Family’s place that the company was involved in a tourism island development project that was about to commence…
An announcement hadn’t been made public; it was a tourist resort invested in by Fu’s enterprise with billions of yuan, ready to open to the public soon.
For this reason, some friends from the social circles were invited for a trial visit, all of them influential young masters and ladies.
Could it be this project?
The man’s gaze was ice-cold and sharp, locking eyes with her in the air.
That look seemed to say, “Tang Xi, you’re in big trouble!”
