Marriage Seduction Addiction

Chapter 128 It turns out she was also one of the parties involved.
A few days later, Yan's Group announced its collaboration with Ni Ruiyuan.

As soon as the news was released, Yan's stock price soared instantly, and it also caused an uproar in the industry.

Everyone knows that Ni Ruiyuan is a long-term partner of the Jiang family, and everyone also knows that the Yan family and the Jiang family are related. Therefore, the most attention-grabbing part of this news is the relationship between the Yan family and the Jiang family.

In the evening, Tang Xu attended an industry dinner.

In the logistics industry, conversations at gatherings usually revolve around the attendees. However, this time, the focus of the conversation unexpectedly shifted to the Yan and Jiang families.

"I heard that the Jiang family intercepted several of the Yan family's projects halfway through, which is why the Yan family took action and contacted Ni Ruiyuan, right?"

"Tsk tsk, can someone of Ni Ruiyuan's caliber be contacted in just a few days? Perhaps the Jiang family had already noticed that the Yan family was contacting Ni Ruiyuan, which is why they snatched those projects?"

"That's really not worth it. After all, even if all those projects were added together and multiplied several times, they still wouldn't be worth as much as Ni Ruiyuan!"

"I heard that Jiang Muchen has been personally following up on Ni Ruiyuan's case. It seems that Jiang Muchen will be held accountable by the shareholders this time."

"I have to say, Yan Shiyu's move was really unexpected. It shows that no matter how considerate and polite you are as a person, you are still very decisive in business. You don't even care about family ties."

"Times have changed. How many young people these days still care about their relatives?"

Tang Xu sat quietly in the corner, listening to the lively discussion without saying a word.

It wasn't until Zeng Yinglun, who was standing next to her, turned to her and asked, "Do you have any inside information to share with us?"

As soon as these words were spoken, Tang Xu instantly became the focus of attention at the dinner table.

It was only at this moment that everyone remembered that Tang Xu was actually one of the parties involved in their discussion just now.

Since her divorce from Jiang Muchen was still ongoing, she was still considered half a member of the Jiang family, and by all accounts, a relative of the Yan family.

"Mr. Zeng, you really flatter me." Tang Xu smiled. "If I knew these inside stories, what would I be doing sitting here? I'd be buying stocks and making a fortune by now. Sigh, I missed my chance to get rich!"

Her heartfelt regret seemed genuine, and she also distanced herself from the matter, successfully making everyone at the table laugh. At the same time, the topic inadvertently shifted to the stock market.

Only Zeng Yinglun asked her again in a low voice, "How is your lawsuit with Jiang Muchen going?"

"I have already applied to the court to entrust a lawyer to handle everything," Tang Xu said, "so that I don't have to make a wasted trip every time."

After the first two court hearings, Tang Xu had realized that Jiang Muchen was determined not to let her have an easy time and would not allow the divorce case to proceed smoothly.

Even if this drags on, and each court hearing brings negative public opinion for him and the Jiang family, he doesn't seem to care.

Since that's the case, Tang Xu was too lazy to waste any more energy on it.

Anyway, she had already made up her mind that even if Jiang Muchen used every means to get the court to deny the divorce this time, she could file another lawsuit a year later. According to the law, no matter what tricks Jiang Muchen played, it would be useless, and the court would have to grant the divorce.

After the dinner party ended, Tang Xu, having drunk two glasses of wine, sat on the sofa in the lobby waiting for a designated driver.

Normally, there's always an oversupply of designated drivers in the area, but today I had to wait quite a while before a driver from a more distant location accepted my order.

Tang Xu was looking down at her phone, waiting, when someone walked up to her and called out, "Miss Tang."

Tang Xu looked up and saw Cheng Jin.

Then, her gaze swept past Cheng Jin and landed on Jiang Muchen, who was shaking hands and talking to someone behind her.

Jiang Muchen didn't look at her; he was focused on talking to the other person.

Tang Xu quickly looked away.

Cheng Jin asked her, "Have you been drinking? I can take you home."

"No need." Tang Xu waved his phone. "I called a designated driver."

Cheng Jin listened, nodded, and didn't say anything more, but still stood next to her.

On the other side, Jiang Muchen finally finished talking to his person and instructed Tan Siyi to see them off.

Cheng Jin then stepped forward and returned to Jiang Muchen's side.

It was only at this moment that Jiang Muchen turned his head and glanced at Tang Xu.

Just then, Tang Xu's phone rang. She answered the call and got up to leave.

Tang Xu brushed past Jiang Muchen without glancing at him, went straight out the door, found her designated driver, and walked with him towards the car.

Jiang Muchen watched Tang Xu's departing figure with a cold gaze, his eyes filled with icy indifference.

Cheng Jin stood behind him, watching Tang Xu leave without saying a word.

That evening, Tang Xu went straight back to Royal Bay.

Yan Shiyu has been very busy these past few days, probably because of his collaboration with Ni Ruiyuan, and it is foreseeable that he will be very busy in the next few days as well. Therefore, Tang Xu consciously decided not to disturb him.

She had just opened the door when she saw Song Yuqiao answering the phone.

Having heard something, Song Yuqiao suddenly stood up from the sofa. The moment she saw Tang Xu, she seemed to find her way and rushed forward, placing her phone in front of Tang Xu. Tang Xu quickly heard the content of the call and slowly exhaled.

Then, Tang Xu turned around and went out the door.

Song Yuqiao changed her shoes and hurriedly followed.

The two of them went to the police station together.

Song Luobai was sitting on a bench in the office lobby, craning his neck and staring at one of the police officers.

Hearing the noise, Song Luobai turned around and saw Tang Xu walking in with Song Yuqiao. Her face instantly turned cold. "What are you doing here?"

Tang Xu glanced at him only once and walked straight to the police officer in charge.

"Are you his guardian?" the officer asked.

Tang Xu nodded.

"Then why is he like this?" The officer glanced at Song Luobai's entire body.

He was originally a tall, fair-skinned boy, but his clothes were wrinkled and his hair was messy. It was said that he often hung out in the nearby park and even picked up other people's ID cards to go to internet cafes, which is why they brought him back.

Yet he still looked defiant.

Upon hearing the officer's question, Song Luobai immediately stiffened his neck again, like a fighting rooster, and retorted, "What I look like is none of your business!"

Tang Xu turned her head and glanced at him.

Song Luobai remained impolite, "What are you looking at?"

Song Yuqiao quickly pulled him aside, signaling him to stop talking.

Tang Xu ignored him, turned to the police officer in front of her, and said, "You can see it too, he's in his adolescence and doesn't listen to reason."

“Even so, he is still a minor. As his guardian, you need to be more careful. How could you let him wander off on the streets…”

Tang Xu inevitably received a lecture, but remained calm and nodded in agreement throughout.

"...Sign the document, take him back and discipline him properly. We will also follow up later."

Tang Xu paused slightly as she signed, feigning surprise, "We need to do a follow-up visit?"

Upon hearing Tang Xu's question, Song Luobai immediately understood what was going on and glared at her fiercely.

The police officer also said, "Without a follow-up visit, how can we determine whether the guardian has fulfilled their responsibilities, and whether he is continuing to run around outside?"

Tang Xu smiled and said, "Of course, I should return the visit."

Tang Xu signed the papers and led the siblings away.

The car had only driven a short distance when Song Luobai, sitting in the back seat, said, "Stop the car."

Tang Xu drove without looking to the side, saying, "Impossible. If you're so capable, jump out of the car."

Song Luobai was about to force the door open when Song Yuqiao trembled with anger. "Song Luobai! Can you stop this nonsense? Have you forgotten what Mom said?"

“Mom is dead!” Song Luobai replied without hesitation.

Song Yuqiao looked at him with red eyes, unable to utter a single word for a moment.

Song Luobai was also stunned for a moment, then turned his face away, remaining silent as well.

Silence fell over the car.

Tang Xu drove smoothly back to Royal Bay.

As soon as the car entered the underground parking lot and parked, Tang Xu saw a familiar car.

Her heart skipped a beat, and then she said to Song Yuqiao behind her, "Take him up first and get everything arranged so I won't get annoyed."

Upon hearing this, Song Yuqiao couldn't help but glare at Tang Xu before forcibly dragging Song Luobai out of the car.

Song Luobai originally wanted to turn around and leave, but Song Yuqiao held him tightly and whispered something in his ear. Song Luobai then turned around and glanced at Tang Xu in the car before being dragged into the elevator by Song Yuqiao.

After watching them disappear, Tang Xu sat in the car for a while longer before finally getting out and walking to the car parked across the street.

As soon as we got close, the car window slowly rolled down.

Inside the car, Yan Shiyu remained calm as he slowly raised his eyes to look at her.

Tang Xu simply smiled.

See you this afternoon~
