Marriage Seduction Addiction

Chapter 254 Fulfilling His Difficulties
During her stay at the Jiang family's house, Tang Xu was well taken care of.

Not to mention Jiang Beiheng's meticulous care for her, even Sister Ying practically revolves around her, buying her favorite fruits and cooking her favorite dishes, arranging everything for her from breakfast to midnight snacks every day.

Even when Tang Xu thought of herself as a pampered young lady, she had never lived such a comfortable life.

But she knew she couldn't go on like this.

Such a life was never meant for her.

She is currently feeling down and frustrated, so she unconsciously uses this kind of life as a comfort zone, forming a dependency. When it's time to break free, it will be even more unbearable.

Having grown accustomed to a life of constant wandering, even when enjoying good times, one can only constantly remind oneself of the importance of self-discipline.

Tang Xu began to force herself to do many things.

Shopping for groceries, tending to the plants, learning to cook from Sister Ying, accompanying Jiang Beiheng to his follow-up appointment...

She'll do anything to distract herself.

Even so, there are still many times of the day when I feel listless.

Tang Xu did not push herself too hard.

With experience, you gradually gain expertise in some things.

She knew these were normal reactions, and she knew she would get better; she just needed time.

No matter how deep or severe the wound, as long as you are alive, it will heal one day.

That day, Tang Xu was sitting on the terrace tending to the flowers and plants when she suddenly lost herself in thought and began to daydream.

When she came to her senses, she heard Yingjie calling her anxiously, "Young Madam! Young Madam, come quickly! Master is not feeling well!"

Tang Xu suddenly snapped out of her daze, quickly stood up, and rushed into the house.

Jiang Beiheng sat in the recliner in the study. He was clearly feeling unwell, and his face was slightly pale, but he still forced himself to stay calm and scolded Yingjie, "I told you I'm fine, don't make a fuss."

Yingjie looked troubled and turned to look at Tang Xu.

Tang Xu quickly stepped forward and reached out to touch Jiang Beiheng's hand.

"You're in so much pain your hands are cold, and you still say you're fine?" Tang Xu immediately turned to Ying Jie and instructed, "Tell the driver to prepare the car, we're going to the hospital!"

This time, thanks to Tang Xu's firmness and insistence, Jiang Beiheng was finally sent to the hospital and underwent a full set of detailed examinations.

The doctor who examined him was an old acquaintance of his, Wei Mingxuan, who had been prescribing medication for him.

At first, when Wei Mingxuan came to the ward, he would exchange a few jokes with Jiang Beiheng, but as the results of various tests came out one by one, his face gradually turned ugly.

Jiang Beiheng didn't seem to care much about it, just like when he didn't care about his illness before.

Or perhaps he had already made all the preparations long ago.

Wei Mingxuan had been following up on his condition and was aware of his attitude, so he didn't plan to say much to him. He simply called Tang Xu to his office and prepared to have a good talk with her.

Just as Tang Xu reached out to take the thick stack of medical reports, there was a sudden knock on Wei Mingxuan's office door. The door opened, and Jiang Muchen appeared in the ward doorway.

When Wei Mingxuan saw him, he simply nodded slightly in acknowledgment: "You've arrived?"

Tang Xu turned around and saw him. She quickly put down the documents in her hand and stood up. "Now that Mr. Jiang is here, Dr. Wei, please tell him what you need to say."

She turned to leave, but Wei Mingxuan's voice suddenly came from behind her: "Stop."

Tang Xu turned around and saw Wei Mingxuan frowning slightly as he looked at her and the people behind her. "Do you think I don't know what the outcome will be after I explain things to him? Will Lao Jiang listen to him? Can this kid persuade his father to give up everything and accept treatment? Do you think you're just leaving? Lao Jiang dotes on you so much as his daughter-in-law, don't you think about him at all?"

These words left Tang Xu somewhat dazed and ashamed, but she eventually returned to her previous seat and sat down.

Jiang Muchen watched her movements quietly until she was seated, then he pulled out the chair next to him and sat down as well. "Uncle Wei, you go ahead and speak."

Looking at the two people in front of him, Wei Mingxuan couldn't help but sigh softly.

It turns out that Jiang Beiheng's condition had shown signs of relapse last year, but he had been refusing to undergo examinations, so no one knew the extent of his illness.

Wei Mingxuan could only carefully prescribe medication for him based on his previous examination report, trying his best to stabilize his condition.

It wasn't until the test results came out that Wei Mingxuan realized how serious the situation had become.

"He needs to be hospitalized immediately; there's no time to lose," Wei Mingxuan said to Jiang Muchen. "Unless you really want to inherit your father's estate right now, I don't care what method you use—tie him up or tie him up—you have to get him to the hospital!"

Upon hearing this, Jiang Mu remained silent for a long time before suddenly turning to look at Tang Xu.

From the moment he appeared, Tang Xu had not made any eye contact with him, and even now, Tang Xu still hadn't looked at him.

Upon seeing this, Wei Mingxuan quickly stood up, said "You two should discuss this properly," and left the office.

Tang Xu remained silent as he flipped through Jiang Beiheng's medical report, offering no comment.

Jiang Muchen remained silent after looking away.

Tang Xu finally finished reading the report in his hand and put it back on the table.

Jiang Muchen's gaze then returned once again.

His gaze fell on the medical report, and he glanced at Tang Xu out of the corner of his eye: "If possible, I hope you can persuade him."

Tang Xu slowly exhaled before finally speaking: "Jiang Muchen, in this world, there is only one person that Dad truly cares about, and only one person who can make him feel at ease going to the hospital for treatment. You don't know that, do you?"

Everyone knows why Jiang Beiheng has refused to undergo examinations and treatment for so long, what he is worried about, and what he can't let go of the most.

Tang Xu didn't expect Jiang Muchen to choose to put pressure on her at a time like this, and couldn't help but want to sneer, "You know perfectly well what you should and shouldn't do, so why put on this pained and troubled look? Who are you trying to impress?"

After saying that, Tang Xu got up to leave.

Suddenly, Jiang Muchen's voice came from behind: "Just because you know something, does that mean you can do it?"

Tang Xu paused in her steps.

Jiang Muchen looked at her from behind, "You know a lot of things, but don't you also have many problems you can't solve?"

Tang Xu turned her head and finally looked at him directly for the first time. "Yes, there are many things I can't do, but at least I have a clear conscience."

Jiang Muchen also stood up and stood in front of her. "Regarding him, I also have a clear conscience."

Tang Xu stared at him for a long time, but ultimately said nothing, turned around, opened the door, and walked out.

When they reached the ward door, they found that there were people inside: Zeng Yushan and Zhou Cong, both board members of Jiang's Group and old friends of Jiang Beiheng.

The two people had probably come with Jiang Muchen and had been sitting in the ward for a while, advising Jiang Beiheng to take good care of himself.

"...You don't need to worry about the company for now. With us here, what are you worried about? We'll keep an eye on Mu Chen for you... That kid was a bit aggressive a while ago, but he's become much more composed lately, and the shareholders' attitudes towards him have gradually changed, so you really don't need to worry."

Zeng Yushan continued talking to himself, while Jiang Beiheng simply smiled and remained silent.

“You don’t need to worry about the Yan family at all,” Zeng Yushan said. “The young people are new to power and don’t know any better. They’re eager to show off, but the two sides are relatives after all. Do they really want to fight to the death? With Old Master Yan keeping things under control, they won’t be able to cause any trouble.”

Upon hearing this, Zhou Cong cleared his throat and said in a low voice, "But I heard that this morning, Yan Shiyu announced several measures at the Yan Group's shareholders' meeting, which will still have some impact on us."

Upon hearing this, Zeng Yushan couldn't help but turn and glance at him. Zhou Cong knew it was inappropriate to bring up this topic at this moment, but could only shrug helplessly.

Jiang Beiheng then asked, "Didn't Yan Shiyu go abroad? Has he already returned?"

"I'm back," Zhou Cong replied. "I landed at six in the morning and was already in the shareholders' meeting room chairing the meeting at eight."

Jiang Beiheng smiled slightly and said, "Young people have so much energy."

“They were just too young,” Zeng Yushan said. “They really didn’t know any better.”

Jiang Beiheng said, "Youth is an asset, and youth is not afraid of making mistakes."

Outside the door, Tang Xu did not choose to push the door open and disturb their conversation, nor did she continue to listen at the door. Instead, she turned and walked in the opposite direction.

Each floor of the private hospital has a sky garden, and Tang Xu pushed open the door and went inside.

The weather isn't very good today; the clouds are thick, and the wind is strong, howling.

Tang Xu's long hair was disheveled by the wind, and her hands and feet were ice-cold, but she still stood there for a long time.

It's not that it's untouched.

Someone she was once so close to, someone she thought they had a "good" relationship with, cut off all contact without ever meeting them once.

No matter how calm and composed she appeared, she was still ultimately unwilling to accept it.

Because she really wanted an answer.

But she also knew clearly in her heart that if Yan Shiyu could give her that answer, he would have done so long ago.

If he was abroad before, perhaps something happened or he was going through something that prevented him from responding to her directly, but what about now?
He returned, on the other side of the city, and presided over the Yan family meeting.

She still couldn't get a single word from him.

He refused to give her what she insisted on wanting.

Perhaps this is the answer.

What else is she clinging to?

Tang Xu couldn't help but slowly close her eyes, trying to calm herself down.

Just as she was working hard, a familiar voice suddenly came from below: "At your age, stop crying and pretending to be sad on the balcony in the wind!"

When Tang Xu opened her eyes, she saw Lu Xingyan standing downstairs, smiling and waving at her.

She searched her entire body and finally threw her phone at him.

"You're not that old!"

……

The hospital's own restaurant was quiet and sparsely populated. Tang Xu sat at a table by the window, watching Lu Xingyan bring over two cups of coffee. She placed one of the hot cups in front of her, then glanced at her and said, "You've lost a lot of weight."

Tang Xu lowered her eyes, took a sip of coffee, and then asked, "Why did you suddenly come back?"

"I've come back to see you," Lu Xingyan said. "Aren't you welcome?"

"Then how did you know I was in the hospital?" Tang Xu asked again.

Lu Xingyan pondered for a few seconds before replying, "If I said I calculated it with my fingers, would you believe me?"

Tang Xu simply looked at him quietly, too lazy to answer.

Lu Xingyan stared at her for a while before asking, "Why didn't you tell me about such a big thing that happened?"

"What is it?" Tang Xu asked knowingly. "Is it about Mr. Jiang being sick and hospitalized? I didn't know you would care about this."

“Tang Xu!” Lu Xingyan frowned as he looked at her.

Tang Xu smiled. "If I didn't tell you, how did you know?"

Lu Xingyan paused for a moment before answering truthfully, "Duan Siwei told me."

Tang Xu paused slightly as he stirred his coffee, and after a long while, he said, "So it was him."

After saying that, Tang Xu couldn't help but laugh again.

A self-deprecating laugh.

Having just learned that Yan Shiyu had returned to Huai City, and then seeing Lu Xingyan, she frankly connected the two events very quickly.

She didn't tell Lu Xingyan, so who told Lu Xingyan?
Why did that person tell him?
She thought she was close to the answer, but when he said the name "Duan Siwei," Tang Xu woke up once again.

"Why did it turn out like this?" Lu Xingyan asked.

Tang Xu lowered her eyes, "Didn't Duan Siwei tell you?"

Lu Xingyan slowly shook her head. "He only said that you might not be feeling well and hoped I would come back to check on you."

“I really appreciate his concern,” Tang Xu said. “All I can say is that I don’t know any more than you do.”

"So...that's it?"

"Okay, that's settled then."

Lu Xingyan paused for a moment before asking, "Could it be that he has some kind of hidden reason?"

"So what?" Tang Xu said. "Even if he has his reasons, since he's willing to bear it all alone and insists on excluding me, then I'll grant him his wish. Thank you."

Lu Xingyan looked at her and said, "If you weren't sad, you wouldn't have gotten this thin."

"It will be alright," Tang Xu said. "Once you give up and accept it, everything will be alright."

Lu Xingyan listened and didn't say anything more for a moment.

Tang Xu is too clear-headed, too rational.

Sometimes such situations and rationality are invaluable, but other times they are even more painful.

Whether it was Duan Siwei or someone else, the reason they called him was perhaps because they thought he could offer Tang Xu some companionship and comfort. However, as clear-headed and rational as Tang Xu was, she didn't need such companionship and comfort.

She could only watch helplessly as she suffered, counting down the days until she gradually recovered.

"So what are your plans next?" Lu Xingyan asked.

Tang Xu continued stirring her coffee with her head down. After a moment, she suddenly said, "I might have to go abroad."

After giving this answer, Tang Xu couldn't help but laugh.

Is there a standard procedure for going abroad after a breakup?

Lu Xingyan didn't understand why she was laughing, but she roughly knew why she wanted to go abroad. She couldn't help but frown and said, "Accompanying Jiang Beiheng to get medical treatment? Aren't you afraid that you'll never be able to get rid of the Jiang family for the rest of your life?"

Tang Xu smiled slightly, then said, "So before that, I need to do something first."
