Chapter 157 Yan Shiyu's Hatred for the Jiang Family

Because of the unpleasant mediation, Tang Xu returned to the company and worked overtime until late at night before finishing her work for the day.

It was already past midnight when I got home.

Tang Xu took a shower and fell into a deep sleep, unexpectedly sleeping until noon the next day.

Upon opening her eyes and picking up her phone, Tang Xu immediately received yet another unpleasant message.

The messages were sent by her lawyer; there were three in total.

"Miss Tang, the court hearing is about to begin. Would you like to come?"

"Ms. Tang, just as we predicted, the court did not grant the divorce."

"I'm sorry, this is all I can do."

Tang Xu looked at the three messages quietly, without any surprise or ripples in her expression.

Before receiving the news, she had already had a thorough discussion with her lawyer and knew how difficult this divorce case would be.

The fact that the lawsuit has dragged on for so long is a testament to Jiang Muchen's skill.

In the end, the court did not grant the divorce, which was still Jiang Muchen's doing.

In this matter, Tang Xu had already seen through the situation and given up on futile struggles.

After all, she had already prepared herself mentally and waited a year later, so this verdict had no impact on her.

However, many onlookers were quite interested in this result and made various speculations.

"I don't understand. Why haven't these two gotten a divorce yet? Is there some kind of mutual benefit involved?"

"The lawsuit has dragged on for so long, I thought it was because of a dispute over property division, but it turns out they haven't even gotten a divorce?"

"Insider information: The person who doesn't want a divorce is actually Jiang Muchen, and the reason the divorce wasn't granted was also due to his manipulation."

"The third top comment is utter nonsense. This whole thing was orchestrated by Tang Xu from beginning to end. He used a retreat as a tactic to solidify his position in the Jiang family. Don't you guys understand?"

Outrageous rumors and speculations are flying around, and people are discussing it heatedly.

The actual parties involved seem to be outsiders.

After reading the results sent by the lawyer, Tang Xu put them aside, ordered takeout, and knocked on the door of the small room to call Song Luobai to come out and eat together.

Song Yuqiao went abroad, and the vacant small room was given to Song Luobai to live in.

His arm injury hadn't fully healed, and he seemed listless, listlessly picking at the food in front of him, his brow constantly furrowed.

Looking at him like this, Tang Xu suddenly asked, "Do you want to reconcile?"

"What?" Song Luobai raised his eyes and looked at her.

Tang Xu repeated it again.

Song Luobai's expression immediately tensed as he stared at Tang Xu. "You want me to reconcile?"

“I’m asking for your opinion,” Tang Xu said.

Song Luobai looked at her with a stern face and replied, "I don't want to."

Tang Xu asked, "Even if it means suffering because of this?"

“Yes, even if it means going to jail, I don’t want to settle!” Song Luobai glared at Tang Xu.

Unexpectedly, after listening, Tang Xu just stared at the food in front of him and said, "Since that's the case, you should eat more. When you really have to suffer, even being in better health will be a valuable asset."

Upon hearing this, Song Luobai was stunned for a long time. When he came to his senses, his expression finally became slightly serious.

After silently shoveling a few mouthfuls of food, he looked up at Tang Xu again, his eyes finally showing signs of emotion.

Tang Xu didn't look at him much, but simply said, "Always make the worst-case scenario your plan. If you've made thorough preparations, things will be much easier when the worst situation actually comes."

After listening, Song Luobai remained silent for a moment, then finally lowered his head and began to eat heartily.

To avoid troublesome media attention, Tang Xu didn't go to work that day. She thought it would be a peaceful day, but unexpectedly, in the evening, when she went downstairs to buy something, she saw Jiang Beiheng getting out of his car and looking around.

This unexpected encounter was clearly also beyond Jiang Beiheng's expectations, and after a moment, he quickly laughed.

Tang Xu snapped out of her daze and quickly stepped forward. "Dad, what are you doing here?"

“You’ve been gone for so long, and you’ve only been back for a few days, but you haven’t even come to see me or have a meal with me,” Jiang Beiheng said. “So, I had no choice but to come here to catch you.”

Tang Xu sighed inwardly, then said, "If you want to invite me to dinner, why don't you just make a phone call?"

Jiang Beiheng laughed and said, "I'm getting old, and I care about my image. I'm afraid if I call you, you'll make up an excuse to refuse me."

That is indeed a very likely thing to happen.

Now that they had met, Tang Xu had no other reason to get into Jiang Beiheng's car and accompany him to his usual restaurant.

The two of them tacitly avoided mentioning today's verdict, instead chatting casually about everyday matters.

It wasn't until Jiang Beiheng asked her, "Has anything been going on lately?"

"It's nothing," Tang Xu said. "Why do you ask that?"

Jiang Beiheng looked at her, smiled faintly, and said, "I don't know why, but I just feel that you didn't seem very happy when you came back from your trip."

Tang Xu laughed after hearing this, "Life is full of joys and sorrows, who can be happy all the time?"

She didn't give a direct answer, but Jiang Beiheng already had a pretty good idea of ​​what was going on.

Since Tang Xu said that, he couldn't ask any more questions.

Although he regarded Tang Xu as a daughter, it was still somewhat awkward for him to inquire about her love life in that capacity.

"I heard your brother seems to have gotten into some trouble at school?" Jiang Beiheng asked again. "Is there anything I can help you with?"

Tang Xu said with some helplessness, "How did such a small matter get to you?"

“The other party is the grandson of the Yan family,” Jiang Beiheng said. “Is this a trivial matter?”

Tang Xu paused slightly in the hand holding the chopsticks.

When the Yan family was mentioned, Jiang Beiheng was silent for a moment before slowly saying, "I heard that Yan Shiyu personally handled this matter... I used to think that although he was young, he was thoughtful and steady in his actions, but now I realize that I have misjudged people."

Tang Xu didn't want to respond, but now that the conversation had come to this point, she had no choice but to.

Is the Yan family still targeting the Jiang family?

Jiang Beiheng simply laughed it off, saying, "In business, what's this about targeting each other? He has his plans, and the Jiang family has its own way of dealing with it. It's just fair competition."

Tang Xu paused for a moment, then slowly said, "The Jiang and Yan families have always been on good terms, so don't you find it strange that something like this has suddenly happened?"

Jiang Beiheng sighed softly, "With my way of thinking, I probably can't figure out the reason."

Tang Xu certainly knew.

Jiang Beiheng is a gentle and modest person who acts openly and honestly. He values ​​relationships and values ​​morality. Apart from his strained relationship with Jiang Muchen and his son, there is almost nothing about him that can be questioned.

But she also knew that Yan Shiyu's actions against the Jiang family were not limited to the Jiang family.

And the Jiang family too.

What exactly caused Yan Shiyu to harbor hatred towards the Jiang family?

Seeing her slightly absent-minded look, Jiang Beiheng comforted her, "Don't worry about the Jiang family. Right now, dealing with your brother's matter is the most important thing."

Tang Xu knew clearly in her heart that no matter how this matter was handled, it was best not to get involved with the Jiang family.

She politely declined Jiang Beiheng's offer, saying, "Children's matters are easy to handle. I've already made plans, so please don't worry."

However, Tang Xu did not expect that after that day, Jiang Beiheng still asked some friends to put in a good word for Song Luobai.

After that, Song Luobai was summoned by the police.
