Marriage Seduction Addiction

Chapter 152 Mr. Yan, it's been a long time
The moment Tang Xu saw Meng Tianyou, her head began to throb.

After I said those things to him last time, I thought he would come to his senses and back down.

Who knew that not only did he not back down, but he also used his relationship with Song Yuqiao to appear in front of her again and again.

He even followed her and Song Yuqiao when they came to New York to see an exhibition.

No one expected that the sudden heavy snow would disrupt the entire transportation system, forcing them to stay an extra night instead of returning to Boston today.

Of course, besides the heavy snow, the person who should be condemned even more is Song Yuqiao, the "traitor".

Just like now.

She went to the convenience store to buy something, and by such a coincidence, Meng Tianyou just happened to appear.

A ready-made umbrella appeared before her, and Tang Xu didn't hesitate to refuse it. She reached out and said, "Give me the umbrella. What do you want to buy? I'll bring it back for you."

"How can that be?" Meng Tianyou dodged her hand, but the umbrella still steadily sheltered her from the snow. "It's so late at night, and the convenience store is so far away. How can I let you go alone?"

Tang Xu met his gaze quietly for a moment, then decided not to say anything more and turned to walk toward her original destination.

Meng Tianyou was overjoyed and followed.

Walking to the convenience store, Tang Xu covered her mouth and nose in the cold wind, remaining silent the whole way.

Even if she doesn't answer a single word, Meng Tianyou still has endless topics to talk about.

As they left the convenience store, Tang Xu handed a lollipop to Meng Tianyou.

"Could you talk less after eating this?"

Meng Tianyou looked at the lollipop in front of him, lowered his head, and put it in his mouth with Tang Xu's hand. Then he smiled and squinted his eyes, giving Tang Xu an "OK" sign.

Tang Xu sighed inwardly and turned to walk back.

Snowflakes continued to dance wildly in the cold wind, traffic on the main road remained a complete mess, and people on the road were still hurrying along.

Everything is exactly the same as when we arrived.

Only the tiny street corner opposite the hotel, under the dim streetlights, was now deserted.

Late at night, Gao Yan finally drove his car back to the apartment parking lot. When he hurriedly went upstairs, he found the apartment empty.

Yan Shiyu has not returned yet.

This was almost exactly what Gao Yan had expected, but at this moment, in such a large city as New York, where could he possibly look for him?
Although he had a clear understanding in his mind, Gao Yan didn't think twice and turned to rush out the door.

Unexpectedly, Yan Shiyu appeared right outside the door as soon as it opened.

At that moment, Gao Yan felt no relief at all; on the contrary, his heart was in his throat.

Yan Shiyu's black cashmere coat was almost completely soaked, and his hair was also wet and limp. Clearly, he had walked all the way back in such cold and snowy weather.

Gao Yan simply couldn't imagine what that experience would be like.

Yan Shiyu, however, acted as if nothing had happened. Even though his exposed skin had turned an extreme bluish-white, his face remained calm and composed, without a trace of being frozen.

Only those eyes were deep and unfathomable.

Gao Yan quickly helped him take off his coat, not daring to ask any more questions. After a pause, she could only say, "Now that we've confirmed that Miss Yang isn't her, shouldn't we head back as soon as possible? But with the weather in New York, I'm afraid air travel might not be able to resume for a while... Should we try flying from another city?"

Upon hearing this, Yan Shiyu only asked one question: "For example?"

“I checked, and the weather in Boston is fine; it hasn’t been affected by the snow,” Gao Yan said. “We can fly from there.”

Yan Shiyu did not react to the suggestion, so it was left to him to make the arrangements.

Gao Yan made arrangements for the car to Boston and the plane back, though she was filled with anxiety. She did not encounter any major difficulties.

He couldn't quite explain how he felt.

If he told others that he actually hoped things wouldn't go so smoothly, that it would be better if something unexpected or went wrong... then probably everyone would think he was crazy.

Unfortunately, he never had the chance to become mentally ill.

Because everything was going too smoothly.

The next morning, before city traffic had even resumed, they boarded the earliest train to Boston and then successfully took a midday flight back to Huai City.

As the plane gradually took off, and the unfamiliar land below became increasingly blurry, Gao Yan finally withdrew his gaze.

Ultimately, there were no such accidents or coincidences.

……

A day later, Tang Xu, Song Yuqiao, and Meng Tianyou finally returned to Boston safely.

Meng Tianyou couldn't hide his excitement about the trip to New York, Song Yuqiao observed him silently, while Tang Xu was already planning their next trip.

Song Yuqiao only realized that Tang Xu was leaving Boston again when she saw the travel guide on her tablet.

"Are you trying to avoid Meng Tianyou?" Song Yuqiao asked her directly. "If you really dislike him that much, then I will never tell him anything about you again."

Tang Xu sighed softly and said, "My visa doesn't have much time left. I want to make the most of this last month or so to see the sights I want to see."

"What about Meng Tianyou?" Song Yuqiao persisted.

Tang Xu propped his chin up and looked at her, saying, "I don't want to dislike him, so I won't have any further contact with him."

Song Yuqiao didn't understand. "What do you mean? How do you know you'll dislike him after getting to know him better?"

Tang Xu simply smiled and said, "What if?"

Song Yuqiao couldn't understand.

Anyway, Tang Xu's mental world has always been a mystery. She can't get in, and she's too lazy to get involved. She did what she thought she should do, and then she didn't bother to pursue any results anymore.

Regardless, Tang Xu is more mature than her and should be able to handle many things well.

Song Yuqiao did not inquire further about Tang Xu's itinerary.

However, what no one expected was that just as Tang Xu was planning her next trip and preparing to set off, she suddenly received a phone call from China.

The person on the other end of the phone was Song Luobai's homeroom teacher.

"Song Luobai is really too awful. He actually got into a fight with the new student and beat him so badly that he ended up in the hospital!"

"Education is never just a school's responsibility. It's not like parents or guardians can just dump their children at school and then completely ignore them!" "The other child's parents have already stated that they will pursue this matter to the end. Ms. Tang, please come to the school as soon as possible and deal with this matter."

Just one phone call was enough to make Tang Xu change his departure destination to Huai City.

Four months later, Tang Xu finally returned to Huai City.

The moment Tang Xu landed, she went to Song Luobai's school and met with his homeroom teacher.

The homeroom teacher was a serious middle-aged man. He said that in all the years he had taught students, he had never seen such a terrible incident. Therefore, he was extremely angry, and his words were full of dissatisfaction with Song Luobai.

After venting her frustrations, the homeroom teacher finally asked Tang Xu, "Is there anything you want to say?"

"Is Song Luobai injured?" Tang Xu asked as soon as he opened his mouth.

The homeroom teacher was taken aback, but seemed even angrier when she came to her senses. "Miss Tang, Song Luobai is the one who hit someone. The classmate he hit was so badly injured that he had to be hospitalized! As his guardian, are you only concerned about whether he was injured or not?"

“Teacher, problems need to be solved one by one, and matters need to be handled one by one,” Tang Xu said. “The other child’s condition is so serious that he has to be hospitalized. Is Song Luobai completely unharmed? Teacher, have you looked into the reason for the fight between the two? Has Song Luobai offered any defense?”

The homeroom teacher couldn't help but sneer, looking at Tang Xu and saying, "Miss Tang, are you implying that I wronged Song Luobai? You think Song Luobai did nothing wrong by hitting someone, and on the contrary, he might be the victim?"

Tang Xu shook her head and said, "Teacher, I absolutely didn't mean that. I just want to get to the bottom of this. If it really is Song Luobai's fault, I will not defend him in the slightest. I can even send him directly to the police station. But first, I need to know what really happened. Is Song Luobai still attending classes normally?"

The homeroom teacher was clearly dissatisfied with her attitude. After taking a deep breath, he said, "He hasn't attended any classes since the incident and has been lying in the dormitory. If you want to know what happened, go ask him yourself."

"Thank you, teacher."

Tang Xu nodded her thanks gently, then turned and walked out of the office under the teacher's extremely displeased gaze.

Upon arriving at Song Luobai's dormitory, Tang Xu pushed open the door and saw Song Luobai sitting in a chair, lost in thought.

Song Luobai probably didn't expect anyone to come. When she turned her head and saw Tang Xu, she was even more shocked. She immediately got up and was about to jump onto the bed, but Tang Xu grabbed her.

Tang Xu had just grabbed his arm when he heard him hiss in pain, and the next moment he tried to break free at all costs.

The more he struggled, the more ruthless Tang Xu became.

Song Luobai was in so much pain that his face turned pale and cold sweat broke out on his forehead.

At the same time, Tang Xu finally saw the bruises on his face.

Just as Song Luobai finally gave up struggling, Tang Xu pinched his face and successfully heard his painful response again.

"Aren't you also badly injured?" Tang Xu looked at him. "Why do other people know to go to the hospital when they're injured, but you just hide in your dorm and sleep?"

Song Luobai was taken aback by Tang Xu's words and immediately shook off his hand, saying, "It's none of your business!"

"Really?" Tang Xu looked at him. "If you can handle this yourself, then I won't bother with you anymore. I might even stop caring about you altogether and give you the money your mother left behind. So now, tell me, how do you plan to deal with this?"

Song Luobai looked at Tang Xu in disbelief. After a long while, she forced herself to reply, "It's none of your business whether I live or die on my own. You don't need to care about me at all."

Tang Xu looked at him, only gave a cold laugh, and said, "Do you think this is an answer that will satisfy me?"

Song Luobai stood there, motionless.

Tang Xu pulled over the chair he had been sitting in, too lazy to go around in circles anymore.

"Tell me, what was the reason for the fight?"

……

An hour later, Tang Xu took Song Luobai to see the homeroom teacher.

After assuring the homeroom teacher that she would resolve the matter and give the other parents a satisfactory answer, Tang Xu led Song Luobai away from the school.

She was right.

Although Song Luobai has an awkward personality, she is definitely not the kind of person who would bully or harass her classmates.

Tang Xu didn't want to have any dark thoughts, but most of the students in this school were powerful and influential people in Huai City. Even as a teacher, she might not be able to treat every student fairly and justly.

Therefore, the only way to solve this problem is to rely on ourselves.

On the way out of the school, Song Luobai sat silently in the back row, never saying a word.

Tang Xu drove the car directly to the hospital.

Tang Xu only left the hospital after watching him complete a series of examinations and finish the hospitalization procedures.

Following the address given by her homeroom teacher, Tang Xu found the home of Ji Shiqing, who had fought with Song Luobai.

The other party lives in one of the top villa communities in Huai City.

Tang Xu only found the villa and rang the doorbell after being led by a security guard.

She had prepared her opening remarks, but choked for a moment the moment the door opened.

She originally thought it would be a parent who opened the door, but instead it was a boy with the same bruises on his face as Song Luobai.

In an instant, Tang Xu realized, "You're Ji Shiqing?"

The boy raised an eyebrow slightly, as if in response: "Who are you?"

“I am Song Luobai’s guardian,” Tang Xu replied. “Can I talk to your parents about your fight with him?”

Upon hearing this, Ji Shiqing's gaze lingered on Tang Xu, scrutinizing him for a moment before lazily calling out to someone behind him—

"Third Uncle, he's looking for you."

On the stairs, a man with an outstanding figure and deep-set eyes slowly descended.

When his gaze fell on Tang Xu, he remained as calm as ever.

Tang Xu's expression remained unchanged.

She calmly watched the person walk down the stairs and said in a light voice, "Please come in."

Ji Shiqing stepped aside to let Tang Xu in.

Tang Xu paused for a moment before finally stepping inside.

Sitting down on the sofa opposite the man, Tang Xu looked up, meeting his calm gaze, and finally uttered the opening remarks she had prepared long ago—

"Mr. Yan, hello, I am Song Luobai's guardian. I am here today because of the fight between Song Luobai and Ji Shiqing. I hope we can find a proper solution."
