Marriage Seduction Addiction

Chapter 198 A Daughter with No Blood Relation
The next morning, Tang Xu went to the Jiang family mansion again.

Tang Xu stayed inside for more than two hours before leaving.

However, Tang Xu appeared again in the evening.

This time, she stayed for more than an hour before leaving.

On the third day, the fourth day... for several days in a row, Tang Xu frequently appeared at the Jiang family mansion.

Jiang Beiheng and Yingjie were naturally very happy about this.

Jiang Beiheng had already made his decision and was determined, so no matter how Tang Xu appeared, it was just another form of companionship for him.

While Sister Ying was happy that her mansion had become lively again, she was also equally worried.

That day, she couldn't help but say to Tang Xu, "You're always running around like this, aren't you tired? Why don't you move back in? That way, your husband's mood will improve, and maybe his condition will get better too. He'll also be more proactive in seeking treatment..."

Tang Xu was not entirely uninterested in this suggestion.

After thinking for a moment, she chuckled softly and said, "I've been away for so long, I wouldn't feel comfortable moving back in. But, trying it out for one night wouldn't hurt."

When Yingjie heard that she had actually agreed to stay for the night, she was so happy that she almost jumped for joy and immediately said, "I'll go tell the gentleman the good news right away."

After saying that, she rushed out of the kitchen and ran upstairs.

Tang Xu stood still for a moment before taking out her phone and sending a message to Gao Yan—

"Tell Mr. Yan that I will be staying out tonight and will not be going home."

After sending the message, Tang Xu put away her phone, turned around and looked out the kitchen window at the evergreen courtyard.

Hidden among the greenery, the gate remains closed most of the time and is rarely opened.

Jiang Muchen hasn't shown up even once in all these days.

Logically speaking, the more Jiang Muchen hates her, the more he should be wary of her. Her frequent visits to the Jiang family mansion will definitely attract Jiang Muchen's attention.

On one occasion, Zeng Yushan came to visit Jiang Beiheng and happened to meet her. He thought Tang Xu had changed her mind and was about to agree to join the Jiang family.

Although Tang Xu explained that it was just a misunderstanding, such news was bound to spread throughout the complex board of directors.

In addition, there was the time she took the initiative to approach Xu Nianwan...

Given Jiang Muchen's personality, he would definitely hold a grudge against her and might even come to her door to humiliate her and question Jiang Beiheng.

But after all these days, Jiang Muchen has remained inactive.

Tang Xu even began to wonder if something had gone wrong.

So she decided to stay here for one night. If Jiang Muchen could still remain calm, then perhaps she had used the wrong method.

With that in mind, Tang Xu indeed spent the night at the Jiang family mansion.

The night was uneventful.

Tang Xu had something on her mind, and being in a different place, she didn't sleep well all night.

The next day, Tang Xu forced himself to work all day, and then encountered an unexpected event that required him to work overtime for several hours. Seeing that it was already late at night, he was too tired to wander around the Jiang family mansion anymore, so he simply went back to Yujing Bay.

However, when she got off the elevator and arrived at her front door, she was surprised to find that the door was ajar.

She didn't come home last night. Could it be that a thief broke into the house?
As Tang Xu thought this, she carefully opened the door and peeked inside.

At that glance, she realized that someone had indeed broken into her house, but whether it was a thief was another matter.

Because someone had casually placed a bottle of water on the shelf in the entryway. That bottle of water was imported from abroad and was the brand that Jiang Muchen had been drinking for a long time.

Tang Xu's heart tightened slightly, then she quickly took two steps inside and looked towards the living room. At that moment, a man was sitting on her sofa with his head slightly lowered, seemingly resting. Hearing the noise, he slowly raised his head.

Who else could it be but Jiang Muchen?
Tang Xu stopped where he was and did not move forward.

At the same time, she smelled a strong odor of alcohol and saw the bloodshot color in Jiang Muchen's eyes when he drank too much.

Jiang Muchen's appearance was something she had expected.

However, his appearance here was completely unexpected by Tang Xu.

She didn't move for a moment, her mind racing.

Seeing her reaction, Jiang Muchen suddenly smirked and laughed, "What? With all these little tricks you've been up to lately, you should have expected me to appear in front of you, right? Now that I've shown up, why are you scared?"

He actually saw through her intentions.

Tang Xu couldn't help but laugh self-deprecatingly.

As expected of Jiang Muchen.

He was indeed extremely arrogant and conceited, but that did not prevent him from being a master of intrigue and scheming.

In his eyes, her little tricks were perhaps indeed ridiculously childish.

But if he has already seen through her, then why is he here?

"Jiang Muchen," Tang Xu called his name, enunciating each word clearly, "I'm not afraid of anything you have."

"Is that so?" Jiang Muchen slowly stood up from the sofa, walked to Tang Xu, reached out and pinched her face, pulling her forcefully towards himself. "You think you have a backer now, so you're not afraid of me, right? Tang Xu, selling your body for a man isn't enough, you're planning to sell your soul too?"

Tang Xu wouldn't be surprised to hear anything from him. She just looked at him and said, "It's rare that in Mr. Jiang's eyes, I am someone who still has a soul to sell."

These words inexplicably enraged him. Jiang Muchen pinched her cheek hard, his dark gaze not entirely containing the coldness Tang Xu was familiar with, but more so, a complex emotion she couldn't understand.

"You think I don't know what kind of person you are?" Jiang Muchen said, enunciating each word clearly. "Tang Xu, let me tell you, I see right through you. Your little tricks mean nothing to me—"

Tang Xu still didn't understand.

If he's nothing, why would he make a special trip for him?
"What do you think you can get for Yan Shiyu with these petty tricks?" Jiang Muchen sneered. "Going to such lengths for a man, Tang Xu, you've really forgotten who you are!"

Tang Xu finally understood why he had come.

He thought that everything she did was for Yan Shiyu.

In reality, she was only doing it for herself.

She couldn't criticize or interfere with Jiang Beiheng's love for his son, but if Jiang Beiheng fell ill in the future, and Jiang Muchen changed his attitude and discovered that she had known all along but helped Jiang Beiheng conceal his illness, she would only become the target of public criticism.

Tang Xu was unwilling to let Jiang Beiheng down, nor did he want to bear this responsibility, so he was forced to use this method.

Who knew that Jiang Muchen would misunderstand because of this.

But she also couldn't explain anything to him.

Given Jiang Muchen's personality, the more she explained, the more likely she was to provoke his temper.

Therefore, Tang Xu only intends to remain silent.

Unexpectedly, Jiang Muchen spoke again the next moment: "It's laughable that I actually believed the nonsense Song Yuting told me—"

Upon hearing him mention Song Yuting, Tang Xu's pupils contracted slightly.

"If he knew that the daughter he spoke of, who was willing to sacrifice herself to repay a debt of gratitude and had no blood relation to him, had actually abandoned all her principles and morality for a man, do you think he would be so angry that he would rise from the dead?"
