Marriage Seduction Addiction

Chapter 271 Jiangcheng Qi Family
Tang Xu did not give a clear answer to Meng Liancheng's suggestion of dinner on Friday.

However, to Meng Liancheng, she seemed to be a fish on a chopping board.

Because she has things she cares about, she can only be at the mercy of others.

However, on Friday, Tang Xu boarded a plane directly to London.

She spent a few more days with Jiang Beiheng in London.

Jiang Beiheng probably realized what had happened, but when he asked Tang Xu, she only replied that nothing was wrong. However, Feng Zheng was busy at the time, and she would probably have to travel between London and Huai City for the next few days, so she couldn't stay in London for long.

“I’m not incapacitated, I don’t need you to be with me the whole time,” Jiang Beiheng said. “But you have to promise me that you won’t try to handle anything on your own in Huai City… I know you don’t want to, but… just consider it a chance for him to atone, okay?”

Tang Xu simply smiled in response.

Jiang Beiheng sighed softly and said, "You don't want me to be restless abroad, do you? Do you expect me to drag this body back to China to see you?"

Tang Xu stared at him and said, "Oh, you've even started using moral blackmail. I think you're not far from being completely cured."

Jiang Beiheng laughed at her words, but knowing Tang Xu's personality well, he didn't say anything more.

The day Tang Xu returned to China happened to be a short holiday, and the airport was incredibly crowded, with long queues of passengers waiting for taxis.

Tang Xu glanced at the endless queue, pondering what to do, when she suddenly heard an unfamiliar female voice behind her: "Miss Tang?"

Tang Xu turned around and saw a capable and beautiful professional woman in her early thirties.

She looked at Tang Xu, smiled slightly, and introduced herself: "I am Shu Chen, Mr. Meng's secretary. Mr. Meng knows that Miss Tang is back today and is waiting for her in the lounge."

Tang Xu said "Oh," without saying or asking any more questions, and turned to Shu Chen, "Let's go."

Shu Chen was somewhat surprised by her reaction, but still smiled and quickly led the way.

Tang Xu followed her and soon arrived at a rare quiet area inside the airport, where she met Meng Liancheng in an extremely private lounge.

Meng Liancheng was engrossed in playing a chess game on his phone and didn't even look up when he heard the noise.

Tang Xu sat down directly opposite him without saying anything, turned to ask the staff for a cup of coffee, and leisurely opened her phone.

Until Meng Liancheng finished that game of chess.

The moment their eyes met, Meng Liancheng smiled slightly, "You're back?"

Tang Xu tilted his head and smiled, saying, "As you can see."

Meng Liancheng let out a slight sigh of relief. "You stood people up, and you're still so self-righteous?"

"Really?" Tang Xu seemed to have no recollection of this at all. "I don't remember promising Mr. Meng anything."

Meng Liancheng chuckled softly and said, "It's alright, you have the right to be willful here." "If that's the case, then why am I here at this moment?" Tang Xu asked.

Meng Liancheng glanced at his watch before replying, "I was just about to go to Jiangcheng for a banquet. Your return is just in time. How about you come with me?"

Tang Xu took a sip of his coffee before saying, "It's still good for my future development, isn't it?"

Meng Liancheng couldn't help but chuckle and said, "You're a smart man."

Tang Xu did not refuse.

Since she wanted to find out what kind of person Meng Liancheng was, she had to get in touch with him.

The reason she stood him up last Friday was simply to gain some control—she didn't want to be led by the nose by him.

Even though she walked into the trap he set for her, she still wanted him to know that it wouldn't be that easy.

The previous dinner invitations and today's banquet seem to be of the same nature—

There will definitely be others.

Tang Xu was curious to see what kind of person could make Meng Liancheng so persistent.

So Tang Xu had just gotten off the plane when she immediately boarded another plane bound for Jiangcheng.

On the plane, she deliberately avoided Meng Liancheng's seat and sat far away from him.

On the way from the airport to the hotel, Tang Xu kept his eyes closed and did not say a word to Meng Liancheng the whole time.

Even if she doesn't say anything or ask anything, someone will still arrange everything for her.

I had just arrived at the hotel and returned to my room when the doorbell rang.

Tang Xu opened the door and saw Shu Chen holding a large box.

"Miss Tang, this is the dress Mr. Meng prepared for you. If there's anything I can help you with, please don't hesitate to let me know."

Tang Xu reached out and touched the box, then turned to close the door, but then turned back. "I forgot to ask, what kind of banquet is it tonight?"

"It is Mr. Qi Tai and his wife's 30th wedding anniversary. It is a private banquet, and there will be no media or other people present. Ms. Tang, please rest assured."

Tang Xu was momentarily stunned. "Mr. Qi Tai?"

"Yes." Shu Chen thought she didn't know who Qi Tai was, so she explained, "Mr. Qi Tai is a prominent figure in Jiangcheng and has a lot of influence in both political and business circles. However, he rarely travels around Huai City, so Miss Tang may not know him."

Tang Xu paused for a moment, then smiled and said, "No, it's not that. Mr. Qi Tai's daughter is Miss Qi Mingyi, right? I've met her before."
