Marriage Seduction Addiction

Chapter 288 She was the "idea"

Tang Xu had been paying attention to what was happening over there, but just then she looked down to reply to a message. Immediately afterward, she heard the series of noises, put down her phone, and turned her head.

The moment she turned her head, she clearly saw the confusion and bewilderment in Yu Muyao's eyes, and the instantaneous return to clarity after seeing her face.

"Hello, Mr. Yu."

Yu Muyao had returned to normal. He glanced at her once, then continued talking on the phone and walked out the door.

But just as he took two steps out, he was suddenly chased out by someone from inside the door who called out, "Mu Yao, Grandpa wants you to go upstairs."

Yu Muyao stopped abruptly, turned around, and walked back into the room.

He didn't say a word to Tang Xu, nor did he look at her again.

On the contrary, the middle-aged woman standing inside the door looked at Tang Xu with a slight surprise after seeing her.

Once Yu Muyao's figure disappeared through the door, the woman stepped forward, looked at Tang Xu, and asked, "Who are you?"

Tang Xu was unsure of the other person's identity, so she simply smiled and replied, "Hello, my name is Tang Xu, and I'm here to see Mr. Yu Muyao."

"Oh, you're here to see Mu Yao." The woman walked forward slowly, looked Tang Xu up and down, and said, "Then why are you sitting in the outer hall? Come in."

"No, thank you," Tang Xu quickly replied. "I know Mr. Yu is quite busy today. I'll just wait here."

"Oh," the woman responded again, before introducing herself, "I am Mu Yao's aunt, Yu Leyao."

"Hello, Ms. Yu."

Yu Leyao sat down on the sofa next to Tang Xu, looked at Tang Xu, and asked, "May I ask what brings you to Mu Yao? He's really busy today. If you're in a hurry, I can pass on your message."

Upon hearing this, Tang Xu hesitated for a moment before saying, "I came for Mr. Meng."

"Who?" Yu Leyao asked in confusion.

“Meng Liancheng,” Tang Xu replied in a low voice, “He hasn’t gone back since he left the hotel last night. I think Mr. Yu must know where he is, which is why he took the liberty of coming to inquire.”

Yu Leyao instantly realized what was happening, stood up abruptly, and looked Tang Xu up and down again, her eyes revealing undisguised disdain.

"The Meng Liancheng you mentioned, is he the one from Huai City?"

"Yes," Tang Xu replied obediently, her eyes lowered.

Yu Leyao's face darkened further as she stared at her, asking, "What is your relationship with him?"

"friend."

“Friend?” Yu Leyao sneered, then said, “He brought you to Haicheng, didn’t he? How did you meet Mu Yao? Was it him who introduced you to him?”

"Yes."

Yu Leyao seemed to understand something instantly. She glanced at Tang Xu a couple more times, then turned and walked towards the main hall inside.

As they reached the entrance to the main hall, a servant came out from inside. Yu Leyao's face was grim, and her voice was sharp, "Close the door properly, so that no random cats or dogs can run in!" The servant, who had no idea what was going on, immediately understood when she saw Tang Xu still sitting in the outer hall and nodded repeatedly in agreement.

After Yu Muyao left, the servant closed the door leading to the main hall in front of Tang Xu.

Anyone would find such a situation unpleasant.

Tang Xu, however, seemed completely oblivious and remained sitting there quietly.

Not long after, the surveillance cameras installed on the ceiling of the lobby began to rotate silently.

Tang Xu glanced up and saw it casually, but pretended not to see anything and continued to sit quietly with composure and patience.

About an hour later, the tightly closed door finally made a sound again.

The person who came out was still Yu Muyao.

This time, however, his steps were no longer hurried, but rather much more leisurely.

Tang Xu saw him and quickly stood up again.

Yu Muyao stood at a distance from her, glanced at her, and then slowly walked toward the exit.

Tang Xu quickly followed him out of the gate and into the courtyard ahead.

Yu Muyao stopped in front of the fountain and lit a cigarette.

Hearing Tang Xu following behind, he didn't turn around, but simply asked, "How did you get in?"

“Such petty tricks are unlikely to catch Mr. Yu’s eye.”

Yu Muyao took a drag of his cigarette before asking, "What should catch my eye? You?"

Tang Xu walked slowly forward, looked at Yu Muyao, and said, "Mr. Yu, please believe me, I will not be a problem for you."

Yu Muyao finally turned around, leaned against the pool, glanced at her, and said, "The one in trouble right now is definitely not me. Is this what you wanted to see?"

Tang Xu gradually became serious, and then said, word by word, "Please don't let him go."

Yu Muyao narrowed his eyes slightly, his gaze falling on Tang Xu's face once again.

Yes, that's why Tang Xu came here today.

She knew perfectly well that Meng Liancheng had gotten into trouble. On the surface, she seemed to want to help solve the problem, but in reality, she was there to kick him while he was down.

If Meng Liancheng lured the youngest son of the Yu family into depravity, that would be somewhat forgivable. But if he set his sights on Yu Muyao, that would be a different story.

When the two are combined, the effect will more than double.

Tang Xu's appearance was meant to tell the Yu family—

She was the one Meng Liancheng was plotting.
