Xu Yiran had helped her so much, yet because of her... he ended up in this state.
Tang Xi’s heart was filled with guilt, and also hatred towards Fu Tingzhou.
She raised her hand, wiping away the tears at the corner of her eyes.
"Fu Tingzhou, it was me who was too naive before."
Tang Xi calmed down, her face numb and expressionless.
Fu Tingzhou took a step forward, feeling a knife-like pain in his waist. He endured it with all his might, his forehead beaded with sweat from the effort. He approached Tang Xi and slowly drew her into his embrace. "I will investigate thoroughly, but I want to tell you, Xu Yiran’s car accident has nothing to do with me. I know you care about Xu Yiran, and this will be the last time I allow you to visit him."
This was the biggest concession that Fu Tingzhou could make.
If it had been his temper from the past, seeing Tang Xi sneaking out to visit Xu Yiran, he would have been furious on the spot. But the Fu Tingzhou of this moment held back.
Even Xu Ze was stunned on the side.
Xu Ze initially thought that Fu Tingzhou would erupt in fury and the relationship with Miss Tang would worsen, but now, watching Fu Tingzhou’s calm demeanor, Xu Ze felt somewhat comforted. Mr. Fu was really... starting to change.
In Miss Tang Xi’s presence, Mr. Fu really began to change.
Tang Xi’s body stiffened in his embrace.
Just thinking of his touch made her feel nauseous.
She found it hard to believe that he had caused Xu Yiran’s car accident, but the testimony from a private bodyguard of the Fu Family left her no choice but to believe. Yet now, he showed no guilt, how could he be so cold and heartless.
Tang Xi clenched her fists, her throat trembling.
If she had a knife in hand at this moment, she figured she would stab without hesitation.
Su Mengshu helped Shu Chong’an along, with Shu Rongjun and the current head of the Xu Family, Xu Yunjie, who was Xu Yiran’s father, following behind.
At that moment, seeing the tall figure of the man in the distance and the Tang Xi he held tightly in his arms, Su Mengshu clenched her teeth in anger but had an idea. She quickly said, "Uncle Xu, don’t worry, I believe Xu Yiran won’t have any issues and will definitely wake up."
Then Xu Yunjie’s voice followed, "I didn’t expect Mr. Shu to come in person..."
It was entirely unnecessary for Shu Chong’an at his age to visit a junior. Knowing that Xu Yiran was seriously injured and comatose from a car accident, Shu Rongjun planned to come over and had not expected Su Mengshu to bring the old master as well.
Su Mengshu said she was colleagues with Xu Yiran in the hospital, and the old master, doting on his granddaughter, plus the recent blows suffered by the Xu Family, naturally meant the Shu Family needed to recruit the Xu Family, given that they had already turned against the Fu Family.
So the old master came personally.
Leaning on a cane, Shu Chong’an’s voice was aged yet forceful, "Yiran is also a child I watched grow up... Now he is suddenly grievously injured from a car accident, I believe this child will definitely be alright. Yunjie, don’t worry too much, the affairs of the Xu Family still need you to shoulder."
After Xu Yiran fell into a coma, Xu Yunjie suddenly aged a lot, his hair greying.
"Thank you, Mr. Shu, Yiran’s hospital room is just up ahead..." Xu Yunjie lifted his head and saw two people standing at the door of the intensive care unit. He immediately flew into a rage, "Fu Tingzhou, who let you come!"
"I didn’t come to settle scores with you, yet you took the initiative to show up, Fu Tingzhou, do you really think my Xu Family is afraid of you? I admit I’m no match for you in the way you’ve been suppressing the Xu Family lately, but Yiran grew up with you as brothers!! Is this how you treat him? Deliberately causing a car accident, leaving him in a coma now!"
At that moment, Su Mengshu raised her eyes and softly spoke out, "Ah, Tingzhou, you and Tang Xi are here too."
Shu Chong’an and Shu Rongjun turned their gaze towards Tang Xi.
The woman shielded behind Fu Tingzhou.
Shu Chong’an frowned, so it was because of this woman that Fu Tingzhou refused to marry his granddaughter!
He did not get a clear look at Tang Xi’s face, but in that instant, he had already ascribed all blame to her.
Fu Tingzhou stood in front of Tang Xi, not expecting that the Shu Family’s people had also come.
He did not wish to drag Tang Xi into matters with the Shu Family.
In this period, he had restricted Tang Xi’s freedom, partly to punish her for her disobedience but also to protect her in a way.
As enemies with the Shu Family, despite being the number one noble family and the wealthiest in North City, the old master Shu was ruthless. He did many shady things behind the scenes, and Fu Tingzhou was afraid that the Shu Family would take their anger out on Tang Xi.
