Marriage Seduction Addiction

Chapter 115 A Deal, Each Getting What They Need
It's impossible to have normal communication with some abnormal people.

Tang Xu was well aware of this.

Especially people like Yan Fengqi.

Tang Xu had only just met him, yet she already deeply understood why the legends said he was a madman.

Beneath his refined and handsome exterior, his arrogance, conceit, and disregard for rules and regulations were fully revealed.

He could have her taken away on the main road; his estate blocked all wireless signals; and his men would be subjected to this kind of "punishment" for failing to do something properly...

Tang Xu simply couldn't imagine what was impossible in this person's world.

The only saving grace is that, judging from the current situation, he and Yan Shiyu seem to have reached some kind of superficial peace.

After all, the two men shared the same surname, Yan, and were brothers. With Old Master Yan above them, Yan Fengqi, despite his dissatisfaction with Yan Shiyu and his forced and helpless attitude, ultimately accepted this feigned peace.

"Thanks for your reminder."

Tang Xu didn't want to say anything more to him and turned to go back inside.

"I can tell you're the type who won't listen to advice." Yan Fengqi leaned against the wall beside him, still smiling as he looked at her. "Otherwise, how could you, with your status as a member of the Jiang family, dare to get involved with him? Does that brat Jiang Muchen know about your affair?"

His tone was extremely calm, as if it were just an ordinary chat, asking her if she had eaten.

Tang Xu had already turned around, but upon hearing this, she couldn't help but stop in her tracks.

"You're really bold. Do you know what kind of impact it will have if your relationship is exposed? How will Jiang Muchen react? How will our old man react? Have you thought about that?"

How could Tang Xu not understand the meaning behind his words?

It seemed like he was giving her a hint, but in reality, every word he said was a threat to Yan Shiyu.

She met his gaze quietly for a moment, then chuckled softly. "It's rare that Mr. Yan, despite being in Tianjin, is still so concerned about things in Huai City. But don't worry, things between him and me aren't as complicated as you think. It's just a transaction, each of us getting what we need. The Jiang family and I don't have much to do with each other anymore, and as for the Yan family, what impact can a fleeting affair that can be ended so easily have on them?"

Yan Fengqi's eyes behind his glasses were gentle and peaceful as he smiled and said, "That would be best."

When Tang Xu returned indoors, she immediately saw Gao Yan rushing in from outside, holding his mobile phone in his hand.

It seems he went outside the manor to make a phone call.

Upon seeing Tang Xu, Gao Yan nodded slightly to her before walking over to Yan Shiyu and whispering a few words to him.

Tang Xu paused slightly, lingering in place for a moment. Seeing that Gao Yan and Yan Shiyu had finished talking, she slowly walked back and sat down in her seat.

"Aren't you eating breakfast?" Tang Xu asked Gao Yan. "What about Duan Siwei?"

“I’ve already eaten,” Gao Yan replied. “Mr. Duan was almost driven mad by being locked up; he couldn’t stand it any longer and left before dawn.”

Upon hearing this, Tang Xu couldn't help but glance at Yan Shiyu.

In such incidents, he always remained remarkably calm and composed, even after being cut off from the outside world for several days.

I always felt that no matter how big the problem was, he could easily resolve it.

Looking back now, she realizes that her anxiety, worry, and impulsive actions in rushing over were unnecessary and cumbersome.

Tang Xu was looking down, lost in thought, when she suddenly heard Yan Shiyu say, "I'll have someone take you back to Huai City later—"

Before Yan Shiyu could finish speaking, Tang Xu had already answered, "Okay."

Yan Shiyu's gaze fell on her face. He paused for a moment before saying, "I still have to go to Tongcheng. I might not be able to return to Huai City today." "I know," Tang Xu replied, then smiled at him and lowered her head to drink her porridge.

After breakfast, Tang Xu stood in front of the garden outside the building admiring the flowers until Yan Shiyu and Gao Yan finished their business and came downstairs again. Only then did she prepare to leave this suffocating manor.

Tang Xu's car was parked in the manor's parking lot. She had just opened the door and gotten in when Yan Shiyu came over and knocked on her car window.

Tang Xu rolled down the car window and heard only two words: "Get out of the car."

Tang Xu was taken aback. "Huh?"

Yan Shiyu looked into her eyes and said, "I've arranged a car to take you back. Someone will drive this car for you, so don't drive yourself."

Tang Xu then obediently got out of the car.

"Go back and get some rest for a couple of days," Yan Shiyu said.

Tang Xu obediently replied, "Okay."

She got into the MPV arranged by Yan Shiyu, waved goodbye to him, and then slowly closed her eyes and leaned back in her seat to rest.

Yan Shiyu watched the car drive away from the manor before getting into his own car and heading to the airport.

Gao Yan sat in the passenger seat, watching the direction the car was heading. Although he knew Yan Shiyu's decision wouldn't change, he couldn't help but say, "These past few days you've been out of contact, even though the old man knows it was Yan Fengqi's doing, he's definitely still angry and wants you to go back and give him an explanation. If we go straight to Tongcheng, won't he be even angrier?"

"He knows what I'm going there to do," Yan Shiyu said coldly. "Let him be angry however he wants."

Hearing his tone, Gao Yan didn't say anything more about the issue. He glanced at his phone before saying, "As you predicted, the project we were in contact with in Nancheng has been taken over by the Jiang family while you were out of contact these past few days. Although Jiang Muchen didn't take it over personally, it's still said that the Jiang family snatched our project."

Yan Shiyu simply replied, "Okay."

……

On the way back to Huai City, Tang Xu tried hard to close her eyes and rest, but she couldn't fall asleep no matter what she did.

For the latter half of the journey, she spent almost all her time staring at the scenery rushing past the car window.

Once inside Huai City, Tang Xu's phone suddenly rang.

She was too lazy to move and didn't go to look.

Back at Royal Bay, Tang Xu took a shower, changed her clothes, and was about to go out again when she suddenly received a call from the bank.

"Hello Ms. Tang, this is Xiao Wu from the bank. Do you remember when I helped you with your business last time?" The other party's voice was clearly ingratiating. "If you have time, I have a few financial products I'd like to recommend to you. The returns are very attractive and they fit your usual investment style..."

"No need," Tang Xu replied without hesitation. "I don't have any spare money to invest right now."

"How could that be?" the other party quickly said. "Miss Tang, why don't you investigate?"

The other person's tone made it seem as if they were even more certain than she was.

Tang Xu responded and said, "Then I'll let you know after I've checked."

She hung up the phone, stepped into the elevator, and when she opened her phone again, she suddenly saw a text message.

A money transfer text message.

A text message indicating a transfer of nearly ten million yuan.

See you at midnight~
