Marriage Seduction Addiction

Chapter 304 This is your goal, isn't it?

Nine o'clock in the evening, Xiaofu in Nancheng.

Arriving at the gate of Meng Liancheng's villa once again, Tang Xu's state of mind was quite different.

She sat in the car, calmly looking at the black door in front of her, patiently waiting.

More than half an hour later, Meng Liancheng's car slowly drove up and stopped behind her car.

Tang Xu looked at the car in the rearview mirror, but it still didn't move.

Similarly, Meng Liancheng in the car also saw her, but he didn't move either.

At this moment, his mind was not on Tang Xu, but on his phone.

He doesn't know when it started, but his phone lost signal and it's been like this ever since.

For Meng Liancheng at this moment, this was undoubtedly an extremely unsettling signal.

“Mr. Meng…” The driver’s phone also had no signal. After waiting for a moment, he couldn’t help but say, “Why don’t I get out of the car and try it myself—”

"Wait!" Meng Liancheng stopped the driver as soon as he finished speaking.

At this moment, his eyes were dark and sharp as he coldly scanned everything around the car, hoping to discern something.

But there was nothing.

Everything was calm, even a little too calm.

Until... Tang Xu suddenly pushed open the car door and got out.

Meng Liancheng's gaze suddenly fell on Tang Xu and lingered there for a long time.

Tang Xu seemed to be getting impatient, so she went straight to his car window and knocked on it.

Meng Liancheng's face was terribly dark. Seeing that Tang Xu's figure was completely blocking the car window, he slowly lowered the window.

Seeing Meng Liancheng's gloomy face, which was completely different from his relaxed tone when he invited her to dinner earlier, Tang Xu couldn't help but feign surprise, "Mr. Meng, what's wrong? Are you feeling unwell? Should I call an ambulance to take you to the hospital?"

As she spoke, Tang Xu looked at her phone.

Meng Liancheng's gaze suddenly fell on her phone.

"Does your phone have a signal?" Meng Liancheng asked.

Tang Xu exclaimed "Huh?" and held up her phone towards the sky, "It was just here, how come it's gone now?"

Upon hearing this, Meng Liancheng became even more certain that the car had been tampered with, and his expression turned even more grim.

Just then, Tang Xu suddenly seemed to realize something, raised his eyebrows slightly, smiled, and bent down.

Immediately afterwards, Meng Liancheng saw her take a black box from under the car, hold it in her hand, and weigh it in her hand with an air of amusement—

"I almost forgot, this is the thing that's causing the problem. I'll turn it off right now."

Then, Tang Xu gently pressed a button on the small box.

A moment later, the driver saw that his phone signal had been restored and quickly turned around, saying, "Mr. Meng, the signal is back."

Meng Liancheng sat there, neither reacting nor moving upon hearing this, simply looking at Tang Xu.

Tang Xu was still smiling, her hands resting on the car window as she looked at him. "Mr. Meng, what's wrong? It was just a little prank. You don't mind, do you?"

Meng Liancheng smirked. "A prank? I went to the Song family villa to get what you wanted because of something you said, and this is how you repay me?"

Tang Xu couldn't help but lean over and laugh. "Because it's really funny. Mr. Meng, do you have a mirror in your car? If so, you can see your face right now, it's quite a sight... But why are you so nervous? Don't tell me you think this is a bomb?"

After saying that, Tang Xu threw the black box directly at Meng Liancheng.

In an instant, Meng Liancheng's body tensed to the extreme, stiffly watching the box roll twice on his lap before silently landing under the car seat.

Tang Xu laughed even louder, pounding on the car door, almost laughing until tears streamed down her face.

After a long while, Meng Liancheng finally opened the car door and got out.

Tang Xu had already calmed down from laughing. While wiping her eyes with a tissue, she said to Meng Liancheng, "You always said I was naughty in front of others. Now that I'm being naughty, it's not a big deal, is it?"

Meng Liancheng got off the bus and stopped. He glanced down at his phone, which had regained signal, then looked up at Tang Xu, who was acting unusually today. He tugged at the corners of his lips again, walked past Tang Xu, and headed straight for the villa.

Tang Xu rubbed her stomach, which was a little sore from laughing, before following him into the house.

At the entrance, Meng Liancheng placed an old-looking tin box, which she had asked Meng Liancheng to fetch for her from the Song family villa, on the shoe cabinet in the entryway.

Tang Xu glanced at him, then looked up at Meng Liancheng, who had just taken off his coat.

Meng Liancheng rolled up his sleeves as he spoke, "I went to so much trouble to invite you to dinner, prepared fine wine and food, and even went out of my way to retrieve your childhood belongings... You really have no conscience."

Upon hearing this, Tang Xu couldn't help but chuckle and started laughing again.

She picked up the tin box, walked into the living room, and threw it directly onto the coffee table in front of her.

"You mean this box?" Tang Xu sat down on the sofa next to me. "What, you really believe this is something from my childhood?"

Meng Liancheng rolled up his sleeves and slowly raised his eyes to look at her.

Tang Xu tried to suppress her laughter, but the undisguised mockery in her eyes was impossible to hide. "This is just a broken box that I buried underground a few days ago. The box may be broken, but it's still quite new! This mooncake factory only started using this box three years ago, and they advertised it heavily back then... Oh, I forgot, three years ago, you were still lying in a hospital bed, unconscious, so it's normal that you didn't know, hahahaha..."

The warmth in Meng Liancheng's eyes finally vanished completely. He looked coldly at Tang Xu, "So, what was the purpose of all these actions?"

"It's just for fun." Tang Xu looked at him. "Or to put it more bluntly, I just wanted to... mess with you."

Meng Liancheng paused for a moment, then sneered and sat down on the sofa opposite Tang Xu. "Just to play me? If that makes you this happy, then I guess that's part of my skill, right?"

"No, no, no." Tang Xu waved his hand. "This is certainly not what makes me happiest... It's the reason you invited me to dinner that makes me happiest. Mr. Meng, why don't you tell me why you invited me to dinner? Even if it's just to make a junior happy, is that not allowed?"

As she said this, her eyes were bright and clear, and her expression was sincere and innocent, as if she really just wanted to have a little fun.

But Meng Liancheng's face gradually turned cold.

He stared at Tang Xu quietly for a while, then said, "I underestimated you."

Hearing the praise, Tang Xu lowered her eyes a little shyly, but then chuckled and asked, "How so?"

Meng Liancheng ignored her feigned madness. "You don't think that persuading your mother to leave Huai City and return to Southeast Asia will have much of an impact on me, do you?"

“Of course not,” Tang Xu replied. “Isn’t she just one of all the women you control? To you, she’s certainly not that important. But ironically, she’s also very important… so important that you were willing to kill my father just to bring her back to your side!”

This was the first time Tang Xu had made such an accusation to Meng Liancheng in person.

But faced with such serious accusations, Meng Liancheng remained calm, almost indifferent.

Surprisingly, Tang Xu didn't show much anger. After recounting the incident, she quickly regained her composure and continued, "I've wondered more than once, just how deep is your relationship that you would do something like this? But if you truly had a deep relationship, how could you just stand by and watch her marry someone else? And how could she leave for another place after you fell into a coma?"

Meng Liancheng leaned back on the sofa, his eyebrows raised, exuding a chilling aura as he listened to Tang Xu's words.

"It wasn't until I personally experienced Mr. Meng's methods that I understood what was going on." Tang Xu looked at him. "I must say, Mr. Meng is truly shrewd. He's more diligent and successful at pimping than others..."

For a fleeting moment, a flash of anger crossed Meng Liancheng's face.

That was an expression Tang Xu had never seen on his face before.

Clearly, the words "pimping" enraged him.

Tang Xu continued, "Others who act as pimps at most find beautiful women to serve their clients. Who can do what you, Mr. Meng, do, to precisely tailor a service to a client's taste? If I were to tailor a service for Yu Muyao, then what about Tang Lan? Who was she tailored for? It must be someone very important, right? So important that even eighteen years later, you still wouldn't let her go, using every means to force her to come back—"

Meng Liancheng's facial muscles twitched uncontrollably for a moment, and his entire face suddenly changed—

If before, there was still a hint of feigned gentleness on that pale, thin face, now all that remained was a fierce expression.

"Of course you don't want me to know these things," Tang Xu sighed, "but unfortunately, I guessed it anyway. Many things have two sides. Tang Lan can certainly help you please him, but once she no longer wants to help you, can't she do the opposite?"

As Tang Xu spoke, she couldn't help but laugh again. "That person's status is so high that you have to fawn over him for twenty years. In other words, he could kill you with the slightest flick of his finger... Oh, I wonder if you were too scared to get out of the car just now because you thought that person had done something? Hahahaha, no wonder your expression was so interesting back then. I should have recorded it and watched it over and over again—"

Tang Xu was unable to utter the word "reward".

With lightning speed, Meng Liancheng reached out and grabbed her neck tightly.

Normally, Meng Liancheng always appeared sickly and pale, but unexpectedly, he had astonishing strength in his hands, or perhaps he was really so angry that he could unleash such great power.

In an instant, Tang Xu lost the strength to breathe. She could only helplessly tilt her head back and stare wide-eyed at the man in front of her with bloodshot eyes.

He was probably really so angry with her that he was about to go crazy.

From the moment they met until now, the constant teasing and mockery have been relentlessly challenging his pride and dignity.

What's more, she even used Tang Lan to almost drive him to the brink of despair...

Tang Xu suddenly laughed again, forcing out the words with difficulty, "You think you can go back to eighteen years ago... Look at yourself now... you're neither human nor ghost... what woman would still be devoted to you... You don't even deserve it..."

Before he finished speaking, Meng Liancheng suddenly increased the pressure on his hand.

Tang Xu could no longer make a sound. Her eyes were wide open in pain. Just as she was about to lose consciousness and everything went black, the large hands that had been tightly gripping her neck suddenly released their grip.

Immediately afterwards, Tang Xu heard Meng Liancheng's chilling laughter, as if it came from hell—

"That's your goal, isn't it?"

Tang Xu struggled to open her eyes and looked at the man in front of her.

Meng Liancheng had already straightened up, looking down at Tang Xu, his tone returning to calm, "You've repeatedly provoked me, forcing me to attack you... Are you truly unafraid of death, or do you simply want me to kill you, and then... use this as an excuse to get me arrested? You can't find any evidence that I killed your father, so you're offering yourself up as evidence, right?"

As Meng Liancheng spoke, he rubbed his hands together, and when he looked at Tang Xu, a smile had returned to his face. "You're willing to risk your own life, which makes you a good daughter. But have you ever thought about what will happen to your mother if I'm arrested and everything comes out? Don't tell me you don't care. I can see that no matter how much you hate or how cold you seem on the surface, she's your weakness—a weakness you'll never get rid of! Think about it, if her current husband and daughter knew what she had done, how would they view her? Would she still have the face to live in this world? Don't you care about your own life, or hers? Have you thought this through?"

Tang Xu lay sprawled on the sofa, coughing with difficulty. It took her a long time to finally catch her breath.

She sat down next to the sofa, listening to Meng Liancheng's words. After a long silence, she suddenly chuckled softly.

"So you knew all along..."

Meng Liancheng looked at her, couldn't help but shake his head and sigh softly, and said, "You've made it far too obvious, you know?"

"There's no other way." Tang Xu gently raised her head. "It's taking this long... If we wait for the others to arrive, then we really won't be able to get anything done..."

After saying that, Tang Xu suddenly reached for her handbag.

However, Meng Liancheng reacted quickly, snatching the handbag before she could. He took two steps back before turning back to look at her with a cold smile, "Even after all this, you still won't give up, you still—"

The next moment, Meng Liancheng lost all his voice.

Because Tang Xu had already opened the iron box that she had previously thrown onto the low table.
