Marriage Seduction Addiction

Chapter 140 She's special because she's Mrs. Jiang.
Duan Siwei remained silent as her response.

Sometimes, silence doesn't mean there's no answer.

Conversely, the answer in silence is often obvious.

Tang Xu's heart, which had been beating uncontrollably, suddenly began to settle back into place.

When Tang Xu said those two sentences, she was still a little dazed.

Because she had never had such a thought before.

But in that instant, as if struck by a sudden inspiration, he connected all the events into a coherent thread.

Although all the details were still blurry, a line had appeared in her mind, a line that should have appeared long ago.

Why would Yan Shiyu go to such lengths to snatch Ni Ruiyuan from the Jiang family?

Why did he disregard the relationship between the Yan and Jiang families and still choose to oppose the Jiang family?

Why did he choose to stand against Jiang Muchen?

Tang Xu never actually asked him, but she thought about it a lot on her own.

Her general conclusion was that he had his own established business plans and goals, and that it was only a matter of time before he turned against the Jiang family.

Therefore, he didn't care.

The most absurd thing is that she even thought she might be a part of that "cause".

Yan Shiyu's reason for targeting the Jiang family may not be related to business matters at all.

It was because of the Jiang family.

His real target and target was the Jiang family.

That's why he was so resolute and so reckless.

Information exploded in her mind, but her heart plummeted into an abyss.

After what seemed like an eternity, Duan Siwei's voice was finally heard again.

“Since I’ve already said what I shouldn’t have, let’s be frank,” he said. “You should know that he and the Jiang family, father and son, are now irreconcilably at odds. Things have come to this point, and he’s already burdened with a lot. The Jiang family will definitely hate him and will certainly try to trip him up in the future. He’ll give you whatever you need when you need it. You should be able to help him in this situation, right?”

Tang Xu's voice was calm. "You said I could help him if I didn't divorce him. How? By becoming his mole in the Jiang family?"

Duan Siwei took a deep breath, waited a moment, and then sighed before speaking: "Jiang Beiheng once said that as long as you don't divorce, the Jiang family business will be jointly inherited by you and Jiang Muchen in the future. If you gain a foothold in the Jiang family business, wouldn't that be of great help to what he wants to do?"

Tang Xu was stunned for a moment, then suddenly realized something and said "Oh".

It turned out to be the case.

So that's where her greatest role lies.

“Tang Xu, I know it’s shameless of me to say these things to you,” Duan Siwei said. “But I’m doing this for Yan Shiyu’s own good. You don’t know what he’s been through in the past, you don’t know how much he’s endured to get to where he is today… I can see your feelings for him. Even if there are no feelings, there must be gratitude, right? You want to do something for him, right? You want his future to be a little easier, right?”

Tang Xu listened to the voice coming from the phone, but her gaze gradually became unfocused.

She sat blankly on the bed for a moment before finally responding softly, "Thank you for telling me all this. I need some time to think about it."

After saying this, Tang Xu hung up the phone.

She remained seated, deep in thought.

It turns out that he was so deeply aware of the Jiang family's ultimate goal.

It's not just about striking at the Jiang family, but also about dealing with Jiang and his son, and ultimately, taking everything from the Jiang family.

Although Duan Siwei didn't say it explicitly, it was already quite obvious.

From the very beginning, he was targeting the Jiang family.

Tang Xu was unaware of the reasons behind this.

Because she never truly understood him.

She knew nothing about his past, what he had endured, or why he had a grudge against the Jiang family.

Therefore, she had previously harbored the delusion that she might be part of that "cause".

It turns out that she was not only not the "cause," but she was even just a pawn in this cause-and-effect relationship.

She was drawn into this mess because of her status as the Jiang family's daughter-in-law. If it weren't for that status, how could she have been qualified?
No wonder.

No wonder he was so different from ordinary people from the very beginning.

Knowing her identity and the relationship between the Yan and Jiang families, he still watched her deliberately approach him and accept her seduction time and time again.

She thought that she had dragged him into the muddy abyss.

But it turned out that he had been waiting for her in the abyss all along.

She never felt that she was different from others, but at certain moments, he really made her fantasize that she was different.

To him, she was special.

Indeed, she is special.

However, she is special because she is Mrs. Jiang.

If someone else had been in Mrs. Jiang's position at that time, then perhaps that person would have been unique.

So, it has nothing to do with her.

This special situation, from beginning to end, had absolutely nothing to do with Tang Xu herself.

As evening approached, Tang Xu's phone rang again.

She lay quietly in bed, but it was a long time before she heard the phone ring.

She picked up the phone and saw Yan Shiyu's name.

She was in a daze.

Because they actually rarely talk on the phone.

It's a relationship that can't be made public; even making phone calls has to be done in secret, only when it's dark.

But why would he call her while it was still light out?

Tang Xu was a little slow to react.

Until the call ended.

She remained motionless, still lying there holding her phone, staring at the now-darkened screen.

She saw herself reflected in the screen.

I saw myself looking lost, sorrowful, and foolish.

The next moment, the phone screen lit up again.

This time, Gao Yan's name was displayed on the screen.

Gao Yan talked to her quite often, sometimes during the day.

But Tang Xu still didn't answer.

The call dropped again.

Then, Tang Xu heard a "thump thump thump" sound.

Before she could even react to the sound, the bedroom door had already been pushed open.

Song Yuqiao stood at the door of the room, looking like she was about to rush in, but she was stunned when she saw Tang Xu's state.

"You're still alive?" Song Yuqiao rolled her eyes, somewhat annoyed. "You've been lying in your room all day without making a sound. Your phone rang again and again, but you didn't answer. I thought you—"

She paused, but didn't say anything more hurtful.

Tang Xu suddenly smiled and said, "Did you think I was dead?"

Song Yuqiao glared at her slightly, but paused when she saw Tang Xu's expression.

She had never seen Tang Xu look so desolate; even the color of his lips had faded.

After a moment of silence, she cautiously asked, "Are you... alright?"

After a long while, Tang Xu's reply was finally heard—

"It's nothing. It was just a dream, and now I'm awake."
