Marriage Seduction Addiction

Chapter 276 A Clear Answer

This slap was so unexpected that Meng Liancheng was stunned for two seconds.

The next moment, as if he hadn't had enough, Tang Xu raised his hand again.

This time, Meng Liancheng had time to react and quickly grabbed Tang Xu's wrist.

Tang Xu merely stared at him coldly, her eyes full of mockery: "Do you really think you have the ability to control and dominate everyone? Do you think you can get what you want with these things? Meng Liancheng, have some basic principles and a sense of shame, otherwise, when retribution comes, you will surely die a horrible death!"

After saying this, Tang Xu forcefully broke free from the hand that was holding her, turned around and walked out.

Meng Liancheng touched his slightly numb left cheek, and with a slight tilt of his head, he saw Yu Muyao walking out of the house.

Yu Muyao acted as if he hadn't seen or heard anything, not even glancing to the side, and walked straight out the side door.

Meng Liancheng watched his figure, then recalled the sudden slap from just now, and after a moment, chuckled softly.

The driver was already waiting outside. When he saw him come out, he immediately opened the car door and invited him to get in.

Since his wife's death, Yu Muyao has not appeared in public for a long time. His presence here today is only out of consideration for the long-standing friendship between the Qi and Yu families, and it is understandable that he will leave early.

The driver returned to the driver's seat, quickly started the car, and drove forward.

As the car passed the corner of the Qi family mansion, the driver suddenly lightly stepped on the brakes.

Tang Xu, barefoot, was about to step off the road when she suddenly saw a car approaching. She quickly withdrew her foot and stood still.

The driver couldn't help but glance at her again, then continued driving smoothly away.

As the car drove away, Tang Xu stepped off the road again, but she didn't intend to cross the street. She simply tossed her shoes aside, casually lifted her skirt, and sat down on the curb.

It must be said that no matter how clean the streets are, walking barefoot is still difficult.

Tang Xu lowered her head and examined the soles of her feet.

Not long after, a black sedan suddenly stopped in front of her.

Tang Xu looked up and saw the car that had gone away but returned.

The driver got out of the car, opened the passenger door, and invited Tang Xu into the car.

Although the passenger seat was rather awkward, Tang Xu was already quite satisfied.

She turned around and looked at Yu Muyao sitting in the back seat. "Thank you, Mr. Yu, for your kindness in giving me a ride."

Yu Muyao sat alone in the back seat, his expression hidden in the darkness, his voice still cold, "I don't think I'm doing a good deed."

“I don’t know what it means to Mr. Yu,” Tang Xu said, “but I am truly grateful.”

"And then?" Yu Muyao asked.

"And then?" Tang Xu chuckled lightly and said, "Mr. Yu and I both know in our hearts that there can be no 'and then' between us, can't there?"

“If you know that, then why did you get in my car?” Yu Muyao said.

“Because I had no choice.” Tang Xu sighed softly before asking, “Then why did Mr. Yu let me get on the bus?”

Upon hearing this, Yu Muyao did not respond for a moment.

Tang Xu was silent for a moment before saying, "I could have guessed even if you hadn't said anything. Anyway, thank you."

Yu Muyao did not reply with a single word.

Tang Xu didn't say anything more. The car drove quietly to the hotel where Tang Xu was staying. Tang Xu got out of the car and looked back at Yu Muyao once again.

The hotel lobby was brightly lit, and the man in the back seat finally revealed his features. He looked at Tang Xu quietly, his expression unchanging.

"Thank you, Mr. Yu," Tang Xu said again. "Goodbye."

Yu Muyao stared at her for a while, then suddenly spoke up: "Since you know why I let you get in the car, I'll remind you again for the same reason: life offers many choices, so don't take the wrong path."

Upon hearing this, Tang Xu remained silent for a moment before chuckling softly, "Perhaps, it's just that I don't have it?"

Upon hearing her answer, Yu Muyao gazed at her intently for a moment, then closed his eyes again without saying anything more.

Tang Xu consciously closed the car door, took two steps back, watched the car leave, and then turned and walked into the hotel.

Her barefoot entrance, carrying her high heels, quickly caught the attention of the hotel staff. Just as Tang Xu reached the elevator, a staff member approached her with a pair of soft slippers. "Hello, ma'am, how can I help you?"

Tang Xu glanced at the slippers in his hand, took them, and put them on. Just then, the elevator doors opened right in front of her.

Tang Xu smiled and thanked her before stepping into the elevator.

She was all alone in the spacious elevator. Tang Xu leaned against the elevator wall and slowly closed her eyes.

Tonight may seem like nothing happened, but in reality, it was an extremely agonizing night for her.

At this moment, a multitude of images flashed through Tang Xu's mind, chaotic and complex—

She knew what she should hold onto and what she should let go of.

The elevator doors opened with a "ding" at the floor where Tang Xu lived. Tang Xu opened her eyes and was greeted by Meng Liancheng's secretary, Shu Chen.

Shu Chen had probably received instructions from Meng Liancheng to wait for her here. Upon seeing Tang Xu, she immediately stepped forward, "Miss Tang—"

Before she could say anything, Tang Xu interrupted her, "How does Miss Shu feel about working this kind of job and working for this kind of boss?"

Upon hearing this, Shu Chen's expression slightly tightened before he smiled and said, "Miss Tang, I've prepared a tub of hot water for you and made a reservation for the hotel's spa. You can go up anytime if you need to relax. Also, if you didn't eat well at dinner, I've prepared some extra food for you. If you don't have an appetite, there's also some congee and side dishes. Just let me know if you need anything."

"Aren't you being a little too thoughtful?" Tang Xu looked at her and asked, "Do you think I'll experience something tonight, so you've prepared all this... or is it just a habit you've always followed, making sure you're fully prepared for every lady he accompanies?"

Shu Chen paused again, but did not answer. She looked at Tang Xu, still smiling, but her expression seemed somewhat unnatural.

Tang Xu didn't say anything more. After looking away, she went straight to her room.

Upon entering the bathroom and seeing the pool of water in the bathtub, Tang Xu immediately reached out and pressed the flush button, letting the water flow rapidly in front of her.

She got up and walked to the mirror, which was blurred by fog. She reached out and brushed away the fog, and saw her ghostly reflection in the mirror.

Many images strung together in my mind, and some things that had been vague for a long time finally had clear answers.

It turns out that the so-called Third Master Meng was a gentle, kind, frugal, peaceful, and humble man who could remain untouched by a multitude of women.

In the end, he was nothing more than a pimp.

High-class pimp.

What he did was to use all sorts of women to win over all sorts of powerful and influential people in order to ultimately achieve his goals.

Tang Xu knew she was definitely not the first.

He has an excellent way with women. From his youth to the present, so many women have been eager to be with him. He knows how to deal with women and how to use them.

And how many of those other women were used in the same way?
And what role does Tang Lan play in all of this?
