Chapter 580 - 370: _2
Fu Tingzhou clenched Tang Xi’s hand tightly, and the two slowly made their way through the crowd to stand before Shu Chong’an.
Today, Shu Chong’an was dressed in a dark red, gold-embroidered Zhongshan suit, with silver hair combed back behind his head. He appeared spirited, yet given his age and recent bout with illness, one could see the fatigue in his eyes. However, when he saw Tang Xi, he was slightly taken aback, then his gaze shifted to Fu Tingzhou, and his expression turned slightly somber.
Shu Yiming approached and said, "Grandfather, the third young master of the Fu family and Miss Tang have brought you gifts."
As he spoke, an assistant on the side handed over the gift.
Shu Chong’an glanced at it, "How rare, it’s the thought that counts."
Fu Tingzhou smiled faintly, "I wish longevity for Elder Shu, as boundless as the eastern sea."
Tang Xi also followed up with some polite words.
Shu Chong’an’s gaze lingered on Tang Xi several times. For some reason, Tang Xi felt his discontent towards her, probably due to Shu Mengshu—it must be because Shu Mengshu became the young mistress of Shu Family, and most likely had not refrained from speaking ill of her behind her back, adding to the hostility since Shu Mengshu fancied Fu Tingzhou. There’s no telling how she could have slandered Tang Xi in front of the Shu family members.
Yet for Tang Xi herself, she bore no animosity towards the elderly Shu.
