Marriage Seduction Addiction

Chapter 416 I'll still be sad

Upon hearing this, Jiang Beiheng fell silent for a moment.

Tang Xu's suspicions became even more certain.

Who is Jiang Beiheng?

With so many years of life experience, having weathered many storms and seen countless things in the world, her clumsy attempt at concealment was nothing more than a trivial trick in his eyes.

Moreover, some things are now almost impossible for her to hide.

Especially when she got off the bus halfway last time, she made it so obvious. If he really couldn't notice anything, then he probably wouldn't be Jiang Beiheng.

The clearer Tang Xu's thoughts became, the more distressed she felt.

As things have progressed to this point, far too many things have deviated from their original course, and no matter how hard she tries, she cannot pull back the heavy train of fate.

"Why?" Tang Xu asked in a low voice, "Why do you pretend you know nothing when you already know?"

“I have always loved you as my own daughter. So your happiness is very important to me.”

Tang Xu tried hard to control her burning eyes, and couldn't help but chuckle when she heard this, "The more you act like this, the less I know how to behave."

“Can’t things stay the same as before?” Jiang Beiheng said.

Tang Xu slowly raised her eyes to look at him, "Do you think... there's still such a possibility?"

Their eyes met, and a long silence followed.

"When did you find out?" After a long while, Tang Xu finally spoke softly again.

Jiang Beiheng probably didn't want to discuss this topic with Tang Xu, but Tang Xu had already made it clear, so no matter how much he didn't respond, he was just deceiving himself.

"I had some speculations before. After all, the Jiang family has some influence in Huai City, and with Mu Chen's temper, how many people in Huai City are not afraid of him? Yet he seems so helpless about this matter, which makes it quite easy to guess. But speculation is just speculation, and it was only after last time... that I had a definite answer in my heart."

Tang Xu also knew the answer to this question.

After all, last time, some situations were far too obvious.

Before that, when she heard about his past with other women, she didn't really react much, because at that time, she didn't know that the person he was talking about was Yan Shiyu's mother.

But just two days later, her attitude took a sharp turn for the worse—

The topic, which had already been discussed once, was brought up again, and the minutiae were scrutinized once more. This time, she even felt deeply indignant on behalf of that woman.

So it's clear that she learned some other details over the past two days.

And the number of people who know these things is very small.

Of course, it could also be Lu Xingyan.

However, even if Lu Xingyan and Ji Yan had a very good relationship, it was impossible for Lu Xingyan to easily reveal such a significant secret to her, especially since Lu Xingyan's knowledge of it might not be that detailed.

When Tang Xu's attitude towards this past changed from indifference to deep concern, it meant that she had definitely obtained some important information and had a perspective and direction from which to stand.

This angle is only possible with one person nearby.

After a long silence, Tang Xu finally spoke softly: "I'm sorry."

Jiang Beiheng frowned slightly. "Why are you apologizing?" "I kept it from you for so long, and I always appeared by your side without warning. You didn't have any defenses against me..." Tang Xu said, "Actually, I should have told you sooner, but I'm sorry, I really didn't know how to bring it up."

Jiang Beiheng looked at Tang Xu's slightly lowered eyes, sighed softly, and said, "You don't need to apologize. If you still need to apologize, then shouldn't I, the one who brought you into the Jiang family, indirectly caused you so much pain, and still shamelessly enjoy your care and attention, be the one to apologize even more?"

Tang Xu listened and remained silent for a moment.

"While I secretly hope you can continue to be a daughter-in-law of the Jiang family, I'll be happy for you if you truly find a safe haven," Jiang Beiheng said. "After returning from London, I noticed you were in much better spirits, and I was genuinely happy... But at the same time, I'm worried that you might fall back into the same low mood you had in London, especially considering that person—"

“You don’t need to worry.” Tang Xu kept her eyes downcast and didn’t look at him. “No matter what, I will never let myself fall into that situation again. Neither will he.”

Jiang Beiheng was silent for a moment before slowly saying, "Do you trust him that much?"

"Yes," Tang Xu replied.

Jiang Beiheng sighed softly before saying, "Good. It's a kind of happiness to have someone you can trust and rely on wholeheartedly. It's good."

Tang Xu remained silent for a long time before finally speaking, "Now that you finally know about this, I can feel a little relieved. However, it may not be convenient for me to visit you at the Jiang family anymore."

Upon hearing this, Jiang Beiheng simply said in a low voice, "Even if I said I didn't mind, you probably wouldn't believe me. If you really feel that you can't come to the Jiang family anymore, then make a decision that makes you feel comfortable. Don't make things difficult for yourself."

After listening, Tang Xu slowly stood up and said only, "Please take good care of yourself."

Jiang Beiheng smiled and simply replied, "Okay."

Tang Xu didn't intend to linger any longer and turned to leave, but suddenly heard Jiang Beiheng's voice again: "Wait a minute."

Tang Xu stopped and turned to look at him.

Jiang Beiheng's gaze turned serious, and he spoke again: "Can you tell me why Yan Shiyu said that I...exterminated their mother?"

Tang Xu remained silent for a moment before saying, "They were driven out of Huai City, didn't you know?"

The calm in Jiang Beiheng's eyes was instantly replaced by shock and pain. "That's what he said?"

Tang Xu said softly, "He was involved, he was a witness."

Jiang Beiheng was completely stunned and dazed, and it took him a long time to recover.

Seeing his expression, Tang Xu lowered her eyes slightly and said, "Perhaps there was some misunderstanding or unforeseen circumstances, or perhaps you really didn't know about this matter, but in any case, it was your mishandling of this matter that led to such consequences... ruining a woman's life."

After listening, Jiang Beiheng remained silent for a long time.

Tang Xu did not linger and quickly turned and left.

After leaving the Jiang family's gate, Tang Xu drove for a long time, just like last time, feeling lost and confused.

It's not that I'm not sad.

In her more than twenty years of life, she has not actually enjoyed the feeling of having a lot of love, so she cherishes every bit of love she has.

However, no matter how much she cherished it, she still had to watch helplessly as she gradually lost that love, time and time again.

She should have gotten used to it by now.

But it turns out, it can still feel this bad.
