Chapter 434: Chapter 303: Save the Group Photo
Tang Xi completed her hospital discharge procedures the next day.
Before she left, Su Xuewen gave her a bag of fruit, saying it was to thank her husband for helping her with the bank loan reservation.
Tang Xi understood from Su Xuewen’s words and nodded, “It wasn’t a big deal. There is no need for fruits, take them home with you.”
“You should keep what is given to you.” Su Xuewen forcefully hung the bag of fruit on her hand, “Your husband is a pretty good man, he was with you in the ward all of last night.”
Last night, Tang Xi had slept until dawn, and when she opened her eyes, she saw Fu Tingzhou sitting on the caregiver’s chair with a laptop on his lap.
She didn’t expect Fu Tingzhou to have come last night.
She hoped she hadn’t talked in her sleep last night.
Back at the hotel they were staying in.
Tang Xi wanted to take a shower but was stopped by Fu Tingzhou, who said it was because she was still running a fever.
Tang Xi could only continue to lie in bed.
Feeling uncomfortable lying down, she got up and walked a few steps.
Fu Tingzhou was in the living room, in front of the floor-to-ceiling windows, on the phone.
It seemed like he was talking with Grandpa Fu.
Tang Xi heard him call out “Grandpa.”
She didn’t have the habit of eavesdropping, nor did she like to pay attention to others’ privacy, so she closed the door immediately, shutting out the noise.
Tang Xi, having the rare opportunity to take sick leave, moved around a bit and, looking at the time, turned on her media account to watch the live broadcast of today’s design competition.
The broadcast began with a press conference from Shangguan Nanxian.
A few reporters asked how he viewed the underhanded tactics Gao Chengxiong used to disrupt business equilibrium, and Shangguan Nanxian answered in an official manner.
“Would Mr. Nan consider working with the Gao Family in the future?”
“I heard that Mr. Nan has sought a lawyer to sue the Gao Family. Does this mean that the two families have officially broken ties?”
“A few days ago, our media outlet reported that several socialites had given up their lawsuits against Gao Youhan. I wonder if Mr. Nan is determined to sue this time, or will you feign peace for future benefits?”
“It’s said that Gao Chengxiong met with Mr. Nan in private with Gao Youhan yesterday. Did you manage to strike a deal and put aside past grudges?”
“We also heard that Mr. Fu from North City has filed a criminal lawsuit against Gao Youhan, and the court hearing is to be made public soon. Given that Mr. Fu is your business partner, does Mr. Nan know about this news?”
“The LED screen at Gao Chengxiong’s press conference suddenly displayed a video. Was it something you arranged in advance? Otherwise, why would it be such a coincidence?”
At this moment, Lin Ke stepped forward.
“Please limit your inquiries to matters related to the design competition. We refuse to respond to other issues.”
But Tang Xi, in front of the screen, was slightly startled.
What did she just hear?
Mr. Fu filed a criminal lawsuit against Gao Youhan?
Fu Tingzhou is suing Gao Youhan?
Why?
Tang Xi immediately took out her phone and swiped through her WeChat messages, indeed, submerged there was a message from Lin Ke from yesterday. She was delirious with fever yesterday and did not notice it.
“Assistant Tang, do you know about Mr. Fu seeking a lawyer to sue Gao Youhan?”
Tang Xi almost couldn’t recognize those words.
Why?
There’s no reason.
Gao Youhan didn’t kidnap Fu Tingzhou.
Why would Fu Tingzhou sue her?
It was she herself that Gao Youhan kidnapped.
Suddenly, her eyes widened slightly, and an idea emerged in her mind. Was Fu Tingzhou doing this for her sake? To seek justice for her?
They argued yesterday morning, and by the afternoon he decided to sue Gao Youhan to avenge her?
Tang Xi found Fu Tingzhou’s emotions utterly unfathomable.
If she hadn’t seen that video, perhaps she would feel touched now.
But the incident of Fu Tingzhou with Ji Qingtan is seared in her mind, unable to be forgotten.
She slowly squatted down, sitting in front of the bay window, and continued to browse the live broadcast on her phone.
Press conferences are always long and boring.
However, the comments were interesting, with everyone speculating whether the Shangguan Family and the Gao Family would break the ice or completely fall out.
After all, they are the two major leading companies on the Northern Island.
The Shangguan Family has deep roots, while the Gao Family has risen to prominence.
This time, it’s not enough to completely bring down the Gao Family, but indeed, the Gao Family has definitely fallen behind and their public relations have failed. It wouldn’t be too late to lie low for a while and then re-emerge.
The comments below were filled with various discussions.
Tang Xi scrolled through thousands of comments.
Two hours later, at 10:30 in the morning, the design competition officially began, and the live feed switched to the inside of the venue.
This time, the design competition was noticeably less grandiose than the last.
Previously, Shangguan Nanxian had invited countless noble families, socialites, international jewelry models, well-known film and television stars, and even the top jewelers like Shen Qinglin.
