Chapter 139 Not getting a divorce is helping him

"You don't know?" Duan Siwei stared at her, then suddenly laughed strangely. "Yes, you don't know anything..."

Tang Xu was losing patience.

If the car problem hadn't been left unresolved, she probably would have already opened the car door and left.

Just as Tang Xu was about to call for help to resolve this trouble, Duan Siwei suddenly grabbed her hand and finally said the most crucial sentence—

"You want to help him, right? By not getting a divorce, you're helping him."

Tang Xu looked at his dazed face, and after a moment of reaction, she said, "This is it?"

Duan Siwei suddenly laughed again, "Yes, that's it. You don't want a divorce, you stay in the Jiang family... You can do it, right?"

Ultimately, Duan Siwei was still worried about her relationship with Yan Shiyu.

Perhaps in his mind, her relationship with Yan Shiyu should remain at the level of romantic love.

The constraints she imposed on them could help stabilize their relationship.

Once she gets divorced and regains her freedom, her relationship with Yan Shiyu may become less controllable.

This is undoubtedly a threat to Yan Shiyu.

But Tang Xu didn't think so.

She looked at Duan Siwei and slowly said, "Don't worry, whether I get a divorce or not, it won't change the relationship between him and me. I know where the line is between us, and I also know that there may not be a future between us. I will always stand where I should stand, never cross the line, and never let myself become a factor affecting him. So, Mr. Duan, are you at ease now?"

After listening to her words, Duan Siwei lowered his eyes slightly and it took him a long time to finally absorb the meaning behind her words.

But the next moment, he suddenly laughed again.

His smile was strange and eerie, something Tang Xu couldn't understand at all.

However, she knew clearly that if she continued talking to him like this, it would probably have a worse impact if someone saw or heard it. Therefore, Tang Xu turned her head, opened the car door and got into the car, leaving Duan Siwei outside the car.

Duan Siwei was really quite drunk. Even though Tang Xu had already gotten into her car, he still went up to her and banged on her car window, wanting to say something to her.

The group of people who had helped him earlier were originally standing across the street watching the show. After all, although Tang Xu's identity was awkward, she was still a great beauty. Who knew if there would be any entanglement between the two of them?
Seeing that the two seemed to have broken up, the group hurriedly stepped forward and helped the intoxicated Duan Siwei leave.

Tang Xu sat in the car, watching the group of people leave, still feeling completely bewildered.

It wasn't until the rescue team arrived and helped her solve the car problem that Tang Xu finally called a driver to take her home.

On her way home, Duan Siwei's strange words and actions from that evening were still on her mind.

The odd thing wasn't his attitude, but rather the fact that they had exchanged such a conversation before.

No matter how worried Duan Siwei was, he shouldn't have been so concerned after getting drunk.

She felt as if she had overlooked something, but couldn't quite put her finger on it.

Could it be that something has happened to Yan Shiyu again?

The moment the thought flashed through her mind, Tang Xu's heart skipped a beat, and she could no longer feel at ease.

It wasn't until the designated driver drove the car back to Yujing Bay and got off that Tang Xu quickly pulled out her phone, thought for a moment, and decided to call Gao Yan.

Gao Yan answered the phone quickly: "Miss Tang, it's so late, aren't you resting yet?"

"Yes," Tang Xu replied softly, then said, "I'd like to know if you're finished with your work? Would it be convenient for him to answer the phone?"

Gao Yan said, "Mr. Yan is currently in a meeting and it's not convenient for him to answer the phone."

Tang Xu responded, then said, "When he has time, please have him call me back. It doesn't matter how late."

“It’s already 2 a.m. back home, and we don’t know when this will end here,” Gao Yan said. “How about we do it tomorrow? You should get some rest too.”

Upon hearing this, Tang Xu remained silent for a moment, then suddenly called out solemnly, "Gao Yan."

"Ok?"

"Everything is going well for you abroad, right?" Tang Xu said. "You'll be back by the day after tomorrow at the latest, right?" Gao Yan seemed taken aback by her question for a moment before chuckling and saying, "Of course."

"Okay." Tang Xu didn't say anything more, only adding, "Remember to tell him to call me back."

After hanging up the phone, Tang Xu still didn't get out of the car.

She sat quietly in the back seat of the car, unable to ignore the unease in her heart.

Although Gao Yan told her to rest early, she believed that if Gao Yan brought her phone number, Yan Shiyu would call her no matter how late it was.

After all, Mr. Yan wasn't always that considerate.

Most of the time, he doesn't care whether she gets enough rest or not.

In short, he can do whatever he wants.

However, Tang Xu sat in the car until dawn but did not receive a call from Yan Shiyu.

As the dormant parking lot gradually came to life, Tang Xu finally got out of the car, went upstairs, and went home.

Since Song Luobai moved in, Tang Xu has been leaving early and returning late, even on weekends.

But after returning home today, Tang Xu stayed in her room and didn't leave.

A whole morning passed, and she still hadn't received a call from Yan Shiyu.

Instead, at one o'clock in the afternoon, she received a call from Duan Siwei.

Duan Siwei's voice still sounded a little slurred, clearly indicating that he had just sobered up and was forcing himself to make the call.

"Did I see you last night?" Duan Siwei asked.

"Yes," Tang Xu answered truthfully.

"Did I tell you anything?" Duan Siwei asked again.

Tang Xu did not answer immediately.

Given Duan Siwei's personality, what would he say that would warrant a phone call to confirm after it's already been told to him?
What did he think he had said to her?
Tang Xu suddenly felt a surge of doubts.

"Tang Xu!" Duan Siwei quickly became impatient.

"You've said a lot," Tang Xu finally spoke. "Am I supposed to answer you every single one of your questions?"

"Just tell me the key points," Duan Siwei said. "I'm really curious to know what I told you."

Tang Xu remained silent for a long time before finally speaking: "You asked me to help him, you asked me not to get a divorce."

Upon hearing this, Duan Siwei fell silent on the other end of the phone.

The all-night wait, accompanied by Duan Siwei's eerie silence, made Tang Xu suddenly realize something.

Duan Siwei's advice against divorce might not have meant the same thing she understood.

She hadn't come up with a clear answer yet, but her heart was already starting to wander uncontrollably.

After a long while, Duan Siwei's voice finally came from the other end of the phone again—

"I'm drunk and talking nonsense, don't take it to heart."

Her heart pounded uncontrollably through her limbs, and Tang Xu clearly felt the stiffness in her hands.

"If it were nonsense, would it be worth you calling all this time to ask?" Tang Xu said slowly. "What you said is clearly the truth."

There was another silence on the other end of the phone.

Tang Xu stared at her right hand, slowly tightening and then releasing it.

"I've thought about it all night and I still can't figure it out," Tang Xu said in a low voice. "Now that things have come to this point, can you explain to me clearly why I'm not getting a divorce because I'm helping him? What can I do to help him? Help him... deal with the Jiang family, or the Jiang clan?"
