Marriage Seduction Addiction

Chapter 268 Whom Did I Meet?

Zeng Yinglun finally understood what was going on. He looked at Meng Liancheng and asked, "Old Meng, what do you mean? You bought the Song family's house?"

"Yes." Meng Liancheng smiled and nodded in response, then looked at Tang Xu again. "Speaking of which, it's fate that brought Tang Xu and me together. If it weren't for her, I probably wouldn't have bought this house."

Tang Xu lowered his head and took a small sip of wine before raising his eyes again and saying, "I don't understand what Mr. Meng is saying."

Meng Liancheng turned to Zeng Yinglun and explained, "To be honest, although we've only met a few times, I took an instant liking to Tang Xu. I know she has a deep bond with her father, and I don't want her to have any regrets."

After listening, Tang Xu chuckled and said, "Mr. Meng, you're exaggerating. It's as if you bought that house for me... I don't have that kind of value or influence."

Meng Liancheng replied, "I think you do."

These five simple words, like a hammer blow, sealed something.

Tang Xu looked at him quietly for a moment, then smiled and said, "If you keep praising me like this, I'm starting to get restless. What do you say, Uncle Zeng?"

Zeng Yinglun said, "It's not a bad thing to be promoted, but Lao Meng, I know you are a man of strong emotions, but Tang Xu is still young. Don't be impatient and scare her away."

Meng Liancheng laughed out loud and said, "If she could be scared by me, then she wouldn't be Tang Xu, right?"

Tang Xu didn't reply, but simply raised his wine glass and gently toasted Zeng Yinglun.

The topic seemed to have been turned over; after the meal, no one mentioned the house again.

But Tang Xu knew that now that Meng Liancheng had appeared, this matter would not end so easily.

Sure enough, after seeing Zeng Yinglun off at the door, Tang Xu turned around and saw Meng Liancheng walking slowly towards him from behind.

Looking in the direction Zeng Yinglun's car had left, Meng Liancheng said slowly, "It's clear that Old Zeng thinks highly of you. No wonder he's been willing to mentor Feng Zheng all this way."

“That’s because Mr. Zeng is kind-hearted.” Tang Xu withdrew his gaze and said calmly, “As for my evaluation, who can be higher than Mr. Meng?”

Hearing this, Meng Liancheng's smile widened. "I think I have a keen eye for talent."

"Is that so?" Tang Xu said. "I wonder where Mr. Meng thinks this 'bead' of mine should be placed?"

Meng Liancheng's gaze lingered on her face for a long time before he smiled and said, "It must be a very precious place."

Tang Xu only gave a cold laugh.

Meng Liancheng continued, "You probably haven't been back to that villa in a long time, have you? How about going home for a visit tomorrow night?"

"Do you think I'll agree to that?" Tang Xu asked.

Meng Liancheng retorted, "You don't know how?" Tang Xu fell silent for a moment.

Meng Liancheng chuckled again, then said in a low voice, "See you tomorrow night."

After saying that, he turned and walked towards his car.

Tang Xu watched him get into the car and watch it drive away, remaining standing still.

She only looked away and turned around when she heard a noise from somewhere behind her.

Turning around, she saw Fu Jiali emerging from behind a pillar at an angle, a cigarette between his fingers, raising an eyebrow at her. "Long time no see."

Tang Xu was momentarily stunned.

It really has been a long time.

Since she stopped deliberately engaging in social activities to attract attention, it's naturally not easy to encounter someone like Fu Jiali again.

However, all of their few interactions involved other people, so Tang Xu was unsure how to treat him. After a moment, she nodded slightly and replied, "Mr. Fu, it's been a long time."

Fu Jiali looked her up and down, stubbed out his cigarette, and stepped forward. "I felt stuffy in there, so I hid here for a smoke. How are things going since the divorce? Not bad, huh?"

Tang Xu smiled and said, "Very good."

"Really?" Fu Jiali raised an eyebrow again, but didn't ask anything further. Instead, he looked in the direction Meng Liancheng had left and said, "How do you know Meng Liancheng?"

"We met by chance." Tang Xu looked at him and asked, "Is there any story behind it?"

Fu Jiali chuckled before saying, "You're a man of your own mind, so what right do I have to say anything? But I'll still offer a friendly reminder: the Meng family is a dangerous place, so it's best to stay away."

Tang Xu paused for a moment, then slowly nodded and said, "Thank you for reminding me. I should go now. Goodbye."

As always, Fu Jiali was a gentleman. When he heard Tang Xu say this, he nodded and stepped aside to let her go first.

Tang Xu didn't linger; she lowered her head and quickly left.

Fu Jiali watched her get into the car, then bent down to light another cigarette before taking out his phone and dialing a number he hadn't contacted in months.

After ringing a few times, the call actually went through.

Fu Jiali was also a little surprised. He chuckled and said, "That's really something. I thought Mr. Yan would be very busy lately, but I didn't expect the call to go through so easily... Guess who I just ran into?"
