Marriage Seduction Addiction

Chapter 171 The Man Who Won't Appear

This scene is truly novel.

She bought this little house herself; it's her only place to stay after everything that's happened.

She never imagined that Jiang Muchen would one day appear here.

This ignited an indescribable anger within Tang Xu.

She let go of his hand, leaving the door open, and coldly looked at the man sitting on the sofa. "How did you get in?"

“It really wasn’t easy.” Jiang Muchen hadn’t even taken off his shoes, nor was he wearing a tie. The top two buttons of his shirt under his suit jacket were undone, giving him a lazy and unruly look. When he looked up at Tang Xu, his eyes were dark and gloomy. “He’s made quite a good arrangement for you. He even has people downstairs… What, is he some kind of dangerous person? That you have to live in such fear because of him.”

Tang Xu didn't realize what he was saying at first, but gradually she came to understand.

There were actually people guarding her downstairs?

This was something Tang Xu hadn't expected.

In other words, Jiang Muchen had to evade those people's eyes and ears in order to get into her house—it really was difficult for him.

"Mr. Jiang, don't you know when I lived in the most fear?" Tang Xu stood at the doorway, looking at him, and said, word by word, "I was most terrified when I was facing you from the front."

As soon as she finished speaking, Jiang Muchen suddenly stood up and strode closer.

Immediately afterwards, Tang Xu was grabbed tightly and pinned against the wall.

"And now?" Jiang Muchen pressed, his tone icy. "Now, facing me, you're not afraid at all, are you?"

Tang Xu could clearly smell the alcohol on him.

It's only 8 p.m., and he already reeks of alcohol, which means he probably didn't work properly that day.

That's true. Jiang Wanning is gone, how could he possibly still have the mind to go to work?
Tang Xu simply looked at him calmly, "You know, sometimes I actually feel fortunate, fortunate that my father and aunt passed away early, so they don't have to suffer from you anymore—"

No sooner had she finished speaking than Jiang Muchen's other hand gripped her chin tightly.

Tang Xu was completely under his control, but she did not struggle at all. Meeting his gaze, she remained fearless.

Jiang Muchen's eyes grew increasingly dark beneath her calm expression—

"You still won't tell me, right?" Jiang Muchen looked down at her, his voice frighteningly hoarse. "Then I'll verify it myself and see who's behind you."

Before Tang Xu could react, Jiang Muchen released her with one hand and reached behind her.

Then, Jiang Muchen turned off the lights in the room.

A few seconds later, he turned the light back on.

This happened repeatedly, with the room lighting up and dimming several times, which seemed abnormal to anyone.

Shortly after, a sudden noise was heard simultaneously in both the elevator and the stairwell—

Tang Xu heard the footsteps of more than one person.

Tang Xu and Jiang Muchen were standing by the door when the newcomer stopped in his tracks upon seeing the scene inside.

Tang Xu leaned against the wall, unable to see what was happening outside the door. Jiang Muchen sneered and said, "You really do have quite a few people on you. What about the group from the club last time? Have they taken turns working?"

As soon as he finished speaking, he pulled Tang Xu to the door.

Tang Xu saw several unfamiliar men exchanging glances outside the door. She had initially thought that Jiang Muchen would not succeed, but then, suddenly nearly ten people came out of the stairwell, dispersed, and surrounded the men at the door.

Clearly, Jiang Muchen had made thorough preparations this time.

He still held Tang Xu tightly, looking at the people surrounding them outside, holding Tang Xu's hand, and said, "Go back and tell your boss that I've taken this woman away. If you want her back, have your boss come to me personally."

Knowing that they were outnumbered, the group did not act rashly.

Jiang Muchen took Tang Xu downstairs and put her in his car.

The car started quickly and headed in an unknown direction.

Tang Xu reached up and rubbed her wrist, which was aching from being pulled, and looked at the night sky ahead. She knew perfectly well that Jiang Muchen had drunk too much, and that he had gone mad because he was upset about Jiang Wanning.

She knew it would be futile to say anything to him, but she still spoke softly—

"He won't come."

"Is that so?" Jiang Muchen turned his head and pinched her face again, mocking, "Then it seems you're not that important after all."

"Of course." Tang Xu denied himself without hesitation, then said, "Compared to you, Miss Jiang is much more important."

Jiang Muchen's grip tightened abruptly. "You still dare to mention Wan Ning?"

"Why wouldn't I dare?" Tang Xu retorted. "Jiang Muchen, why did you let Miss Jiang leave?"

"If it weren't for you, why would she have left?"

Tang Xu could only manage a wry smile at this.

"It's because of me again, isn't it?"

"It's because of you!" Jiang Muchen's dark gaze fell on her face, paused for a moment, and when he spoke again, it was almost a murmur, "It's all because of you—"

Tang Xu was startled by his tone. The next moment, the person sitting in the passenger seat suddenly spoke up: "Mr. Jiang, there's a car following us. It should be the other side's people."

Tang Xu was only then surprised to realize that the person sitting in the passenger seat was actually Cheng Jin!
As expected, following Jiang Muchen has led her to get involved in even things like this.

Tang Xu really wanted to laugh, really wanted to laugh.

The events that happened that night, the people and things she encountered, all seemed utterly absurd.

Unparalleled absurdity.

Despite being followed, Jiang Muchen's car continued to drive smoothly, eventually heading towards the most famous villa complex along the riverbank.

Tang Xu was led into one of the villas.

This seems to be Jiang Muchen's new residence; it lacks any sense of habitation, yet it is full of his style.

Fortunately, the villa was large, and Jiang Muchen did not restrict Tang Xu's freedom, so Tang Xu did not have to face him all the time.

Or perhaps, when he sobers up the next morning, he will realize how absurd and ridiculous his actions were, and he will let her leave.

Tang Xu was right.

The next morning, when Jiang Muchen recalled what had happened the day before, and Tang Xu who was currently in a room in this villa, he was completely dazed.

However, contrary to Tang Xu's expectations, Jiang Muchen did not let her leave after he came to his senses.

He seemed to have made up his mind, as if things had already come to this point, so it was acceptable to resolve the matter while things were still in this state.

Therefore, when Tang Xu walked out of the room in the morning, the villa was already empty.

She stopped halfway down the stairs and sat down in the middle of the stairs.

It seems she needs to wait for a result here.

An outcome that was predetermined.

That evening, Jiang Muchen returned to the villa.

Tang Xu did not meet with him.

The next morning, Jiang Muchen left early as usual.

For four consecutive days.

Tang Xu was trapped in this villa, but she didn't run into Jiang Muchen.

The result that Jiang Muchen was waiting for did not come.

Just as Tang Xu had said, that person never appeared from beginning to end.
