Marriage Seduction Addiction

Chapter 218 The Only Qualified Person

It has to be said that Jiang Muchen really knows how to torture people.

A simple sentence, a few words, can always stir Tang Xu's nerves.

Just like now.

Tang Xu let out a soft breath, then smiled slightly at him, "As everyone knows, I don't have a mother. So, I don't know what you're talking about."

Is there any point in deceiving yourself?

"It's pointless," Tang Xu replied. "But why do two people who have absolutely nothing to do with me insist on talking about things related to me? Is that really interesting?"

Jiang Muchen had not seen Tang Xu so confrontational in a long time.

She used to hate him to the core, even to the point of daring to slap him in public. But since the passing of Song Yuting and his wife, she seems to have changed. Even though she still doesn't give him a kind look, she seems too lazy to say anything more to him.

She had met me only a handful of times, and she was always calm and indifferent.

But now, Jiang Muchen vaguely sensed the signs of emotional outburst.

He looked at Tang Xu and said, "Whether it matters or not, it's up to you to decide, right?"

"What a joke! If it's something I can't decide, do you think you can?" Tang Xu couldn't help but sneer. "Then how do you plan to arrange my life? How should I live my life from now on?"

"With your big ideas, who can arrange your life?" Jiang Muchen's face remained cold. "Tang Xu, I have no interest in arranging your life. I just want to remind you again that your mother's current husband's family is not an ordinary family. With a mother like that, you'd better watch yourself."

"Then what should I say?" Tang Xu tilted her head to look at him. "Thank you, right?"

Jiang Muchen's expression grew even colder. He rolled up the car window and said, "Let's go."

Upon seeing this, Tan Siyi quickly glanced at Tang Xu, opened the car door, and got into the car.

Immediately afterwards, the car drove out of the Jiang family's gate.

As Tan Siyi drove, he glanced at Tang Xu's still motionless figure in the rearview mirror and couldn't help but say, "Madam seems a little strange today..."

He said this to comfort Jiang Muchen and not to be angry because of what Tang Xu said, but as soon as he said it, he realized that the atmosphere in the carriage was not as suffocating as he had expected.

The next moment, Jiang Muchen's calm, emotionless voice came from the back seat—

"It's not pleasant to have your tail stepped on."

It sounded so effortless coming from Jiang Muchen.

He seemed so relaxed, as if... he had finally found some direction again.

Tan Siyi dared not comment any further, and quieted down to concentrate on driving.

Jiang Muchen's sudden appearance and departure took Tang Xu quite a while to recover. She opened the car door, got into her own car, and after a moment of silence, started the car.

Tang Xu drove the car directly to the new residential area in the south of the city.

She knocked on the door again, and was greeted by Tang Lan's smiling face once more, "Yaoyao..."

"What do you want?" Tang Xu no longer had the energy for pretense and asked bluntly, "What exactly do you want?"

Tang Lan was taken aback. "Yao Yao, what are you talking about?"

"You met with Jiang Beiheng at noon and Jiang Muchen in the evening. I want to ask you, what exactly are you trying to do?"

“Yaoyao, I didn’t mean anything by it, it’s just…” Tang Lan hesitated, “I’ve heard your father mention them, so I want to meet them…”

"And then?" Tang Xu asked. "What did you say to them? Thank them for welcoming me into the Jiang family, thank them for their tolerance and care, and expressed your hope that they would continue to treat me this way in the future, right?"

Tang Lan paused again, then reached out and pulled Tang Xu along, "Yao Yao, come in first, we'll talk after you come in, okay?"

"No need." Tang Xu withdrew her hand directly. "If you have something to say, just say it here."

A clear flicker of pain flashed in Tang Lan's eyes. Then, she pursed her lips and spoke softly, "Yaoyao, I know why you married into the Jiang family, and I know how much you've suffered. Your father has already told me all of this... But he also told me that your marriage with Jiang Muchen isn't beyond saving. Mr. Jiang is so good to you, and your father thinks—"

"Dad is gone!" Tang Xu almost shouted. "The only person in this world who had the right to interfere in my life is gone! You are not that person! You have no right."

Tang Lan's eyes quickly reddened. Looking at her, she could only whisper, "Yao Yao, I'm sorry..."

"Don't apologize to me anymore!" Tang Xu shook his head. "And don't try to get close to me or interfere with me anymore... You have your family, I have my life, we are completely unrelated people. What I want to do has nothing to do with you, and you can't stop me, so don't waste your energy."

After saying this, Tang Xu turned around and walked back to her car, opened the door, got in, and left without looking back.

Tang Lan stood at the door the whole time, quietly watching her series of actions, until Tang Xu's car disappeared from sight, before she closed the door in a daze.

Tang Xu kept pressing the accelerator all the way until she reached the gate of the residential area, where she finally stepped on the brake.

The brakes in front of her slowly lifted, but she seemed lost in thought, forgetting to move forward.

Just then, a car outside the door flashed its headlights in her direction.

Tang Xu suddenly came to her senses and slowly drove out of the community gate. Only then did she realize that the car outside the gate was actually Yan Shiyu's.

For a moment, she forgot everything and disregarded everything else, pushed open the door, and ran towards the car.

The moment she pushed open the car door, the door of the other car was also pushed open, and by the time Tang Xu ran closer, Yan Shiyu had already gotten out of the car.

Tang Xu threw herself into his arms, burying her face in his chest, closing her eyes tightly. After a long silence, she finally asked, "How did you get here?"

"I happened to see your car at the intersection of Huai'an Road, so I followed it all the way here."
