Chapter 217 The Meaning of Two People Being Together
Upon hearing this, Tang Xu's angry expression froze for a moment, and she just stared at him blankly.

However, this stunned silence was only momentary. After blinking, she suddenly laughed and stared at him, saying, "Judging from your words, Mr. Yan is preparing to confess?"

Yan Shiyu paused for a moment, then slowly said, "What if I said yes?"

In the past, Tang Xu would probably have been very happy to hear this.

But frankly, at this moment, she doesn't have the mind to pay attention to it.

A person can't hold too many things in their heart. Limited attention can only be allocated as needed. When nothing is happening, she will focus a lot of attention on him, so she will mind his concealment and dishonesty.

Now, she has so many things on her mind, and she knows that some things are destined to be difficult to say aloud.

So she didn't care that much anymore.

“I would be happy if you were willing to tell me.” After a long while, Tang Xu finally answered, “But if it’s just to appease me, then it’s not really necessary to tell me. Feelings are never something that can be exchanged equally. Two people can be themselves even when they are together.”

After saying that, Tang Xu leaned forward and gently kissed the corner of his lips. Then she loosened his clothes, supported her still slightly numb legs, got up, and walked out of the room.

Yan Shiyu remained standing by the bed, listening to the sounds coming from outside, without moving for a long time.

When two people are together, they can certainly be themselves.

But if you only do what you want to do, what is the point of being together?
……

After leaving the house, Tang Xu went to the company as usual.

She turned on her computer and found the day Tang Lan had mentioned the night before from among a vast amount of data.

She only had the surveillance footage from outside Song Yuting's ward, so she didn't see Tang Lan there. She only saw Qin Yun helping Song Yuting out of the ward, and about an hour later, the two of them went back into the ward together.

That hour was roughly the time it took for Tang Lan to meet Song Yuting.

Tang Xu paused the image on the backs of Song Yuting and Qin Yun.

She watched the scene quietly, and closed her eyes the moment her eyes reddened.

Unfortunately, the two people in the picture are no longer here, and she has no way to verify with anyone whether anything special happened that day.

At this very moment, Tang Lan has probably already boarded the plane back to Southeast Asia.

Go see her dear husband and her precious daughter.

Tang Xu twitched the corner of her mouth, pulled herself out of her thoughts, and tapped her fingertip to enter the dark web.

……

As evening approached, Tang Xu, unusually, left work on time and went to the Jiang family mansion.

As I entered, Sister Ying came downstairs carrying a tray she had just cleared.

Tang Xu glanced at the food on the plate and frowned slightly. "Is this all you're eating for dinner, sir?"

Yingjie nodded, looking somewhat worried. "My husband went out at noon and didn't have a good appetite when he came back in the evening. I don't know where he went... Driver Li is tight-lipped now; he won't say anything no matter what I ask him."

Upon hearing this, Tang Xu simply said, "I'll go up and take a look."

She slowly went upstairs, gently knocked on Jiang Beiheng's door, and saw Jiang Beiheng sitting in a chair reading documents after finishing his meal.

Tang Xu stepped forward and snatched the documents from his hand. "How many times have I told you? You can't just sit like this right after eating. Even if you ate so little, it still needs time to digest, right?"

She immediately launched into a tirade of reprimands, showing no respect for elders. Jiang Beiheng, however, smiled merrily, helplessly raising his hands and saying, "Fine, fine, I can't concentrate on watching anyway, okay?"

"Let me go for a walk with you," Tang Xu said. "A new park has opened nearby. I just passed by and thought the environment was quite nice."

"That would be great." The two went out together. At this time, the new park was full of people who came out to digest their food, go for a run, or walk their dogs after dinner. Tang Xu, holding Jiang Beiheng's hand, walked among the passersby, and seemed much more silent than others.

"It's rare for you to come so early today. Why are you so quiet?" Jiang Beiheng asked. "Are you too tired from work?"

"No," Tang Xu sighed and said, "You're so stubborn, what's the point of me saying anything more? You're the only one who has to listen!"

Upon hearing this, Jiang Beiheng sighed softly before saying, "Parents never think only of themselves."

Upon hearing this, Tang Xu suddenly chuckled, "That's not entirely true. While you are certainly willing to do everything in your power for your child, not everyone is the same."

Jiang Beiheng slowly stopped and turned to look at her.

At that moment, Tang Xu clearly saw understanding in his eyes.

He seemed to know who she was talking about.

But how could he know?
"You haven't met her before, have you?" Tang Xu suddenly asked.

Jiang Beiheng sighed softly, "Your mother—"

"When did you meet her?" Tang Xu interrupted him directly and asked.

"This afternoon," Jiang Beiheng said.

"Noon?" Tang Xu shook her head slightly. "Didn't she leave on a morning flight?"

“That was originally the case,” Jiang Beiheng said. “But she said that you seem to have some misunderstanding, and she hopes to stay and resolve this misunderstanding.”

Tang Xu couldn't help but twitch the corners of her mouth again.

It turned out to be the case.

The reason sounded plausible enough, but unfortunately, Tang Xu knew in her heart that even if she stayed, it wouldn't be for her sake—

Because the object of her suspicion was her husband, and this was a matter concerning her husband, not Tang Xu.

"Did she ask you to meet her first?" Tang Xu asked. "What does she want? Does she want you to help clear up the misunderstanding?"

"Although it was the first time I met her, I could tell from her words that she cared about you."

Tang Xu chuckled, "You're a seasoned veteran, do you really believe such a few light words?"

“I’m not that confused,” Jiang Beiheng said.

"Then please don't mention her to me anymore, it's pointless," Tang Xu said.

Jiang Beiheng sighed again and then said nothing more.

After their walk, Tang Xu escorted Jiang Beiheng back to the Jiang family home, watched him take his medicine, and then prepared to leave.

Unexpectedly, as soon as I stepped outside, the familiar scene unfolded once again—

Jiang Muchen's car was parked in the yard, right next to her car, and Tan Siyi was standing next to the car. After seeing Tang Xu, he quickly lowered his head and said something to the person in the car.

Tang Xu was too lazy to pretend anymore. She walked straight up to the person in the car and looked at him. "What, are you here to check on my intentions towards the Jiang family again? Come earlier next time. You only see me once a time. How much information can you possibly find out?"

After Jiang Muchen told her last time that Song Yuting's death was related to Yan Shiyu, and she clearly expressed disbelief, he disappeared for several days. Now he has reappeared, but his complexion has not improved at all.

He was clearly still angry, but when he looked at Tang Xu, what he said was—

"Do you know that your mother has contacted me?"
