198: Chapter 159: Who Allowed You to Disturb Her?

Tang Xi woke up very late the next day.

Even after she awoke, she pretended to sleep until Fu Tingzhou left before sitting up.

Nie Xiaoyun knocked on the door and came in, preparing breakfast for her.

Tang Xi went to the bathroom and took a shower, rinsing herself many times over.

The sound of Fu Tingzhou’s voice from last night echoed in her ears, each word causing her to shudder uncontrollably.

This man has a pathological obsession with possession.

She worried that his paranoid and harsh emotions would really be disadvantageous to the Xu family.

But now, Tang Xi had no cell phone and couldn’t browse online for any news about the Xu family.

If because of her, the Xu family and Xu Yiran were implicated, she would feel guilty for the rest of her life.

That day, she was clearly drugged and lost consciousness, only to wake up in a strange room.

Both she and Xu Yiran had been framed.

Who did it?

Tang Xi had a hunch in her heart.

Such a malicious act could only be the work of Su Mengshu; she couldn’t think of anyone else.

But Su Mengshu had covered her tracks well, bribing the hotel’s front desk, leaving no surveillance footage of her entering or exiting the hotel.

And at the mall where she was abducted, it happened in a surveillance blind spot.

It seems she had to start with the lying sales associate.

After much hesitation, Tang Xi finally decided to seek help from Nie Xiaoyun, “Xiaoyun sister, could you please do me a favor….”

She mentioned her situation with Xu Yiran and Nie Xiaoyun’s eyes widened, “So, you were really wronged?

Mister Fu has really misunderstood you!”

Tang Xi nodded, her mind drifting back to the events of that day.

“When Xu Yiran and I opened our eyes, we were already in the room.

We realized that we had been set up.

I immediately got dressed and was ready to leave, and that’s when Fu Tingzhou arrived.

It was all too coincidental….”

After Fu Tingzhou showed up, he saw them in disheveled clothes and instinctively thought they had engaged in an improper relationship and she was planning her escape.

He was then furious.

At that time, he completely lost his reason, and no matter how Tang Xi explained, he wouldn’t listen.

Even now, though they have both calmed down, he still wouldn’t listen to Tang Xi’s explanations, he still wouldn’t trust her.

She had to come up with evidence, and that bought-off sales associate could be the starting point.

Nie Xiaoyun immediately said, “Tell me how I can help you.

As long as I can do it, I will try my best.

If this misunderstanding is cleared up, and you and Mister Fu can reconcile, you won’t be restricted in your freedom anymore.”

In the short month they had known each other, Nie Xiaoyun had already begun to regard Tang Xi as a friend.

Tang Xi frowned slightly, and after thinking for a moment, she spoke in a hoarse and calm voice, “I want you to help me investigate that sales associate.

She must have been bribed, which is why she fabricated lies.

Since she’s been bought off, there must be a strange deposit into her account recently.

As a sales associate, such a large amount of money is definitely a problem.”

Nie Xiaoyun nodded.

Investigating someone was not difficult for her.

That very afternoon, Nie Xiaoyun found the personal information of that sales associate.

Her name is Chen Qing, 26 years old, and she had been working at Taizhong Mall’s women’s clothing store for two years, having just resigned a week ago.

And just one week ago, Chen Qing’s account received a deposit of 500,000 yuan.

Half a million yuan would be what Chen Qing could earn in three to four years of work without spending a cent.

After Nie Xiaoyun discovered this, she planned to report it to Xu Ze, but she feared that if the investigation wasn’t complete and Mister Fu found out, he might think she was meddling and send her to Africa.

After all, in Mister Fu’s heart, Tang Xi was already deemed a betrayer.

It would be better to present him the facts after the thorough investigation.

–

Tang Xi heard a knock on the door, thinking it was Nie Xiaoyun.

She unconsciously walked over to open it.

The moment she opened the door, she saw a strange woman standing outside and slightly furrowed her brow.

The woman was quite young, roughly Tang Xi’s age, dressed in a high-end lady’s suit with meticulous makeup and bright red lips.

At this moment, Tang Qianqian eyed Tang Xi with raised eyebrows, seeing a face that was simple yet still beautiful, with a tranquil and cool temperament.

This instantly gave Tang Qianqian a sense of inferiority; despite her own carefully done makeup and expensive clothing, standing next to Tang Xi, she felt like an imitation!

But at this moment, Tang Qianqian was here to pick a fight.

“I want to tell you to stop wasting your effort on Fu Tingzhou; he will never like you.

In the past few days, Fu Tingzhou has been with me, so I advise you to give up hope.”
