Marriage Seduction Addiction

Chapter 105 Her Affairs with Yan Shiyu

Upon seeing Cheng Jin, Tang Xu's mind went blank for a few seconds.

Why did he get together with Jiang Muchen?
She watched as Cheng Jin followed Jiang Muchen to the center of the hall, his respectful and humble demeanor speaking volumes.

Jiang Muchen stopped talking to someone, and Cheng Jin also stopped and turned around to look.

With that glance, his gaze met Tang Xu's.

A moment later, Cheng Jin said something to Tan Siyi, and Tan Siyi quickly looked in the direction where Tang Xu was, and then nodded.

Soon, Cheng Jin walked towards Tang Xu.

Duan Siwei turned around at the right moment, pretending to be just an insignificant passerby.

Cheng Jin glanced at him, then quickly looked away and stood in front of Tang Xu. "Miss Tang."

Tang Xu finally calmed down a little and looked at him quietly, "You... found a new job?"

"Yes." Cheng Jin replied calmly and frankly.

Tang Xu glanced over his shoulder and looked at Jiang Muchen in the crowd.

With just one glance, Jiang Muchen seemed to sense something and also looked in this direction.

Tang Xu looked away before Cheng Jin could see her, and said, "It seems the Jiang family is treating you well, bringing you to events like this. How much of a raise did you get?"

Cheng Jin paused for a moment, not answering her question directly, but said, "Miss Tang, you know the current situation of the Song family. I am just an ordinary person, and I need to support my family."

"Of course," Tang Xu replied calmly. "Who isn't an ordinary person?"

“I know you must be feeling uncomfortable,” Cheng Jin said. “But don’t worry, I work under Mr. Jiang and will only focus on work-related matters. I won’t say a word about anything that doesn’t concern me.”

Tang Xu stared at him, remaining silent for a moment.

She knew perfectly well what Cheng Jin was referring to.

When she was facing setbacks and suffering heavy losses for the sake of the Song family, she once regarded Yan Shiyu as her only hope.

Later, for Yan Shiyu's sake, she went to the party organized by Fu Jiali.

Later, the Song family received an unexpected investment.

Cheng Jin knew all of this.

Even if he may not be fully aware of everything in between, Tang Xu knew that he was a smart man, and a self-serving smart man at that.

Admittedly, self-interest is understandable, and even though he is now with Jiang Muchen, she has no right to criticize him.

What she cared about were indeed those things related to Yan Shiyu.

She herself doesn't care.

She just didn't want Yan Shiyu to be affected and to make enemies for him unnecessarily.

Cheng Jin was able to see through her thoughts and make promises to her, putting her at ease.

However, his boss now is Jiang Muchen.

Can she really rest assured?

Tang Xu did not reveal her worries, but raised her glass to him, "In any case, thank you for your contributions to the Song family, and thank you for helping me so much in the past."

Cheng Jin picked up his wine glass, clinked it with hers, and then said, "If you ever need my help in the future, feel free to ask."

Tang Xu just smiled.

After finishing his drink, Cheng Jin put down the empty glass and turned back to Jiang Muchen's side.

Duan Siwei, carrying a full plate of cold food, walked back to Tang Xu's side. "You're smart. You know how to keep things calm without making a scene."

"He did nothing wrong, so why should I break off relations?"

"So?" Duan Siwei raised an eyebrow slightly. "Do you believe him, or not?"

Tang Xu didn't respond to him. As she turned away to hand out business cards elsewhere, she suddenly heard someone next to her say something—

"Yan Shiyu is here too. Today is really lively. Ye Hanzhang still has a lot of influence."

Tang Xu quickly looked up in the direction everyone was looking.

No matter when or where, Yan Shiyu always stood out in the crowd, exceptionally handsome and with unparalleled beauty. Tang Xu, however, only glanced at him before quickly averting her gaze.

The banquet hall was very large, and Tang Xu easily avoided the area where Yan Shiyu and Jiang Muchen were, diligently handing out his business cards in every corner.

Until a slight disturbance suddenly came from the center of the venue.

Tang Xu vaguely heard the sound of breaking glass and a woman's scream.

People around also looked in the direction from which the sound came.

The crowd was gathered there, and in the chaos, it was impossible to tell who was who.

Then someone asked urgently, "Is Mr. Yan alright?"

Tang Xu's heart skipped a beat.

Has something happened to Yan Shiyu?
what's up?

Just as she was about to step forward to check the situation, someone suddenly pulled her back.

She turned around and saw Duan Siwei again.

He still had that carefree attitude, glancing in the direction of the crowd, but his words were directed at Tang Xu: "If I were you, I wouldn't go over there."

Tang Xu suddenly realized how inappropriate her feelings had been just now.

Indeed, how many of those people in the crowd were actually related to her?
What would it look like if someone with ulterior motives saw her eagerly approaching like that?

She suddenly stopped and stood outside the crowd, but her gaze still involuntarily drifted towards the center of the crowd, hoping that someone would make way for her so that she could see what was going on inside.

And very quickly, the crowd actually parted to make way.

Two security guards escorted a disheveled woman out of the crowd.

Tang Xu recognized her at a glance.

Shi Yan.

It was her.

Since Shi Yan told her about her pregnancy at "Chunshan" nearly half a year ago, Tang Xu has not paid any attention to her.

At this moment, Shi Yan's abdomen was flat, and she looked haggard, showing no signs of pregnancy whatsoever.

She was practically dragged away by two security guards, but she didn't struggle; her eyes were dull, and her face was ashen.

The once glamorous and beautiful woman has lost all her grace and radiance.

She is a public figure, and what she cared about most in the past was other people's opinions.

But now, it has turned out like this.

Since she was the one causing trouble, she must have come for Jiang Muchen.

How could she possibly be involved with Yan Shiyu?
Seeing Shi Yan being led out of the venue lifelessly, Tang Xu looked again at the place where the crowd was most concentrated.

Finally, she saw Yan Shiyu.

The crowd parted again, and Yan Shiyu was escorted out by staff. His shirt was stained red, and there was a noticeable cut on his hand, which was bleeding profusely.

In an instant, Tang Xu's body felt slightly numb.

It wasn't until Yan Shiyu got closer that she finally saw clearly that the red on his shirt was actually the color of red wine.

In other words, he probably only injured his hand.

Tang Xu hadn't even fully caught her breath when Yan Shiyu saw her.

His gaze swept across her face, lingered for a moment, before temporarily leaving the banquet hall.

At the same time, other people around also looked at Tang Xu.

Tang Xu then realized that she seemed to have played a role in this accident as well.

She looked up again, and through the crowd, saw Jiang Muchen sitting in the center.

Jiang Muchen's eyes were dark, and when he inadvertently met her gaze, he seemed to be stunned for a moment.
