After Divorce, Hidden Marriage Husband Became Addicted to Me-Chapter 498 - 339: _2

Then, Tang Xi saw Su Mengshu.

Dressed in a gemstone blue velvet gown, Su Mengshu’s skin was fair and her features delicate. Her hairstyle tonight was also crafted with particular care, as if every part of her betrayed the identity of a wealthy tycoon’s daughter.

Lights fell upon her, capturing the gaze of the crowd.

She was the center of attention.

Her conversation was especially meaningful and bore no resemblance to her mannerisms from four years ago.

At this moment, she seemed to have transformed into the most prominent socialite of North City.

Su Mengshu probably spoke about her years abroad, how much she had learned and mentioned that she planned to join Shu Family’s business after returning home, thanking everyone.

The cold smile on Tang Xi’s lips grew deeper.

She had spotted Su Kangrong and Xia Minjun among today’s crowd as well; these two no longer looked like nouveau riche as they did four years ago. Now, they carried themselves like the wealthy.

Oh, the Su Family’s jewelry company had changed its name, and with the help of the Shu Family, it had successfully gone public and became a minor brand in the jewelry industry.

Just recently, Tang Xi saw this brand on the North City jewelry sales leaderboard for this year’s first quarter.

It’s called Menglai Jewelry.

Fang Yuan once said that Menglai Jewelry had faced a scandal in the first half of the year.

It was about causing allergies in wearers due to the acid wash process of the jewelry.

The incompetence was exposed.

But later, the incident was suppressed with a high-priced public relations effort.

Turns out it was Su Family’s jewelry.

In fact, Tang Xi didn’t believe for a second that Su Mengshu could become Shu Family’s daughter. Su Mengshu was born to Su Kangrong and Xia Minjun, raised in the Su Family, that much she knew.

She had no idea what kind of trickery had happened in between.

Tang Xi stood in a corner.

Watching all of this from a distance.

She was in the backlight.

While Shu Mengshu stood in the spotlight.

Next, Shu Mengshu stepped down from the stage.

She was surrounded by several socialite sisters, who presented her with gifts.

Shu Mengshu expressed her polite gratitude.

Tang Xi was probably more than ten meters away from Su Mengshu, and she stood in a dimly lit area surrounded by shadows.

But Shu Mengshu inadvertently glanced over and swept past Tang Xi; her smile froze on her face.

She thought she was hallucinating.

What did she just see?

That bitch Tang Xi was supposed to be dead, right?

The young ladies by her side called out to her, "Mengshu, Mengshu, what are you looking at?"

"Yeah, Mengshu, what caught your eye?"

Biting her lip, Shu Mengshu stared at Tang Xi, intending to bore a hole through her; this woman looked identical to Tang Xi! She couldn’t be mistaken, it was truly Tang Xi, Tang Xi wasn’t dead, she had returned!

And in the next second, Shu Mengshu’s face turned deathly pale.

Her body began to tremble uncontrollably.

As if she had been scared to the brink of fainting.

Because she saw Fu Tingzhou slowly walking towards Tang Xi, standing by her side.

She couldn’t help but recall the pain she suffered in prison over the past four years.

The extent of Fu Tingzhou’s power was fierce; even though her grandfather and uncle had pulled strings and employed measures, she was still sentenced and tortured incessantly inside. In the first few days, she was beaten nightly in her sleep, a harsh lesson for her.

Her whole body trembled violently.

A few ladies spotted Shu Mengshu’s odd behavior, looked in her direction, and then let out excited exclamations.

"Ah ah ah, the third young master of the Fu family actually came!!"

"It’s actually Fu Tingzhou, I can’t believe Fu Tingzhou came too!"

"He’s so handsome in real life, I accompanied my dad to discuss cooperation with the Fu family a few days ago, and saw Fu Tingzhou from a distance, now to see him from such a close range!" As she spoke, the socialite took out her phone and snapped a few pictures in the direction of Fu Tingzhou, mumbling, "Who’s that woman beside him, which family’s lady is desperately throwing herself at him?"

"Ah ah ah, he’s walking in our direction!"

The arrival of Fu Tingzhou instantly captured the attention of countless people.

Aside from the crazed infatuation his superior male appearance stirred in numerous socialites, there was also a lot of quiet discussion.

"Haven’t the Shu Family and Fu Family been estranged for many years? How come Fu Tingzhou has come to Miss Shu’s evening banquet?"

"It doesn’t seem like he’s here to cause trouble, plus, one can’t get in without an invitation. Could it be that the relationship between the Shu Family and the Fu Family has thawed?"

"In this world, there are no eternal friends nor eternal enemies, only eternal interests."

Shu Mengshu’s face was pale, and she took two steps back.

At this moment, Shu Yiming, who was impeccably dressed in a dark-cyan suit with a refined and elegant demeanor, came over, "Mr. Fu, your presence is an honor for Mengshu."

The two shook hands.

Indeed, there are no permanent enemies, only permanent interests.

The Shu Family and Fu Family are preparing to collaborate on a real estate project.

The two families will meet and negotiate multiple times thereafter.

Many know about Fu Tingzhou’s amnesia, and most also know that Fu Tingzhou had a sudden car accident four years ago, injuring his head, necessitating a long period of recuperation.

His disposition has also slightly changed from before.

Fu Tingzhou glanced at Shu Mengshu. This woman, this face, overlapped with his memories, yet he felt no interest in this woman.

Many records indicated that he loved her.

Was it because of her that he divorced Tang Xi?

"Su Mengshu?" Fu Tingzhou called out the name.

Shu Mengshu’s heart trembled, but remembering that Fu Tingzhou had lost his memory and that the man was looking at her, seemingly without malice, just a hint of bewilderment, Shu Mengshu steadied her nerves and took a few steps forward, "Tingzhou, it’s been a long time since we’ve seen each other."

"Yes, it has been a long time."

Hearing how Fu Tingzhou responded.

Shu Mengshu felt reassured.

It seemed that this Fu Tingzhou truly had forgotten past events.

How she replaced Tang Xi to save him, he must have forgotten that too.

What about Tang Xi...

Shu Mengshu glanced over Fu Tingzhou’s shoulder and immediately met Tang Xi’s cold gaze.

"Tingzhou, I’m delighted that you and Tang Xi came to my banquet. If I had known you were coming, I would have definitely gone out to greet you with my uncle," she said.

Turning her gaze back to Tang Xi, she continued, "Tang Xi, we haven’t seen each other for so long, why not come over and catch up with your sister?"
