Marriage Seduction Addiction

Chapter 277 He is anxious
Once some answers are determined, many things from the past seem to become clear.

Those were things that Tang Xu had never thought about.

For example, she saw Tang Lan again in Huai City early in the morning at the Qiushuitai parking lot.

Tang Lan left Qiushuitai so early, it was obvious that she had spent the night there.

So after that, she investigated the residents of Qiushuitai as if following a clue, but she couldn't find anyone who was related to Tang Lan.

But what if that person's relationship with Tang Lan was established through Meng Liancheng?
Meng Liancheng fell into a coma. Tang Lan left Huai City. When Meng Liancheng woke up, she returned to Huai City.

Meng Liancheng seemed to be the sole factor determining her every move. Tang Xu used to think that she must love Meng Liancheng to the extreme to have such a reaction.

However, Tang Xu now seems to have found an even more important reason.

From the very beginning until now, Tang Lan has been a pawn firmly controlled by Meng Liancheng.

He fell into a coma. She left Huai City not because she couldn't accept his coma and was heartbroken, but because she thought she had finally found the path to freedom. So she chose to leave everything in Huai City and leave without looking back.

When Meng Liancheng woke up, her dream of freedom was shattered, and she had no choice but to obediently return to Huai City.

Although Tang Xu didn't know exactly how Meng Liancheng made Tang Lan so obedient, he knew he had his own methods for controlling women, and his methods were extremely sophisticated.

Tang Xu recalled Tang Lan's many unspoken words from the past.

These must be the things she couldn't say.
She couldn't tell Tang Xu what kind of quagmire she was in, or what kind of humiliation she was suffering.

However, she was afraid that Tang Xu would fall into the same situation as her, so she repeatedly advised Tang Xu to stay away from Meng Liancheng, and even went so far as to borrow Jiang Muchen's power, hoping that Tang Xu could be free from Meng Liancheng's interference.

She must have both hated and feared Meng Liancheng.

Strangely, Tang Xu did not sense Tang Lan's hatred for Meng Liancheng.

Even now, recalling Tang Lan's past reactions, Tang Xu still feels that Tang Lan does not hate Meng Liancheng.

In contrast, what seemed to be troubling her emotions more was... helplessness.

Her helplessness towards Meng Liancheng was a mixture of love, resentment, and an inability to resist.

Thinking of this, Tang Xu couldn't help but shudder.

Knowing full well what kind of man he was, how despicable and cold-hearted he was, and how humiliating it was for him to use her like this, even though she would feel pain, struggle, and yearn for freedom, in the end, she still obediently obeyed him and let him do as he pleased, never thinking of resisting.

what is this?
Is it that men's PUA techniques are too sophisticated, or that women are just outrageously stupid?

Tang Xu couldn't easily draw a conclusion.

She always felt the answer should be the former, but judging from Meng Liancheng's recent methods of dealing with her, they were not particularly sophisticated.

If she hadn't willingly entered into the situation, Meng Liancheng wouldn't have been able to control her at all, relying on that house.

From Tang Xu's perspective, someone like Meng Liancheng should have had more patience and better methods, instead of resorting to simple and crude coercion by using people and things as leverage.

If he has always acted in this way, it's impossible that he left no trace when he was young.

Unless, in his youth, he possessed far more sophisticated methods for concealing himself, manipulating people's hearts, and serving the powerful.

That's why he was able to rise so quickly in such a short time, even becoming on par with Meng Lianshan.

But if he already possessed such terrifying cunning and ruthlessness back then, why has he suddenly changed his style now? Is it because he's been bedridden for eighteen years, and his old cunning and methods are outdated, or...?

After lying down for eighteen years, he realized how much he had missed and lost. His mindset changed drastically, and he could no longer act as calmly as before. He was eager to take back everything that originally belonged to him.
Tang Xu felt that she had probably found the answer—

Yes, he was anxious.

That's why he used such a harsh approach with her, forcing her to work for him.

Of course, he was still clever and had a backup plan—

For example, he once used the opportunity of meeting her to try to find out the man behind her.

After all, he had been with her before, so he knew that Tang Xu had lived in Qiushuitai for a while.

Tang Xu and Jiang Muchen have always been at odds, and since Jiang Muchen doesn't live in Qiushuitai, it's almost a certainty that Tang Xu has another man behind her.

But he couldn't be sure who the man was.

The people living in Qiushuitai are not to be trifled with.

But after that, Tang Xu suddenly went abroad and stayed for several months without ever returning.

Some things may seem like trivial matters on the surface, but behind them lie countless underlying causes.

How could Meng Liancheng, who was so knowledgeable about relationships between men and women, not have noticed?
He must have realized the breakdown of certain relationships with Tang Xu, and with the passing of Yu Muyao's wife, he finally decided to take advantage of Tang Xu.

But before that, he was still uneasy, so he chose to test the waters.

So when he saw that the person who came was Jiang Muchen, he didn't care.

Even though Jiang Muchen had made it so obvious, he had seen Tang Xu's attitude towards Jiang Muchen more than once. He knew that no matter how much Jiang Muchen tried to protect and please her, Tang Xu would not want his protection.

Therefore, he didn't need to care about Jiang Muchen, nor did he need to care about the man behind Tang Xu who had already left.

He could use her with complete confidence and urgency, eagerly trying to attract Yu Muyao's attention.

In such a hurry, even Yu Muyao could see through his ulterior motives at a glance and reminded Tang Xu that "life offers many choices."

Tang Xu felt somewhat fortunate to have met a man like Yu Muyao.

She was also grateful for his reminder.

But just as her answer suggested—she had no other choice.

After losing her ability to dance and being far removed from her dreams and pursuits, her life became a blur, and most of the time, she was being pushed forward by others.

This is no exception today.

Fortunately, even when she was being pushed forward, she remained conscious.

She knew what she had to do.

She knew what kind of fate some people deserved.

That's a goal in itself, isn't it?
