Marriage Seduction Addiction

Chapter 46 He didn't come tonight?

Jiang Ming's face instantly darkened. He stared at Tang Xu for a moment, then chuckled softly, "I'm not one to force things, but sometimes I encounter unreasonable people, and there's nothing I can do. I'll let you taste what a forty-year-old man is like later."

As he spoke, he loosened his tie.

Tang Xu sighed softly.

"If I'm not mistaken, Mr. Jiang's previous partners were probably all heiresses or ladies of high society, right? It's my fault for overacting and making Mrs. Jiang think that I'm that kind of person too."

As Tang Xu spoke, he casually picked up a vase from the long table by the door, weighed it in his hand, and then picked up an even larger one.

“But I’m really sorry, I’ve been rebellious and reckless since I was a child, and I’m extremely immature.” Tang Xu said, then suddenly smiled at him, “Mr. Jiang, you hold a high position, and if I’m not mistaken, you have to rush back to Hong Kong early tomorrow morning, right? If you accidentally get a disfigurement or get injured somewhere… how will you explain it to the media?”

"You dare lay a hand on me? Have you considered the consequences?"

Tang Xu blinked. "Consequences? If Mr. Jiang gets injured in this private room, I'll only get hurt worse. I'm the kind of person who's much more ruthless to myself than to others. If we both end up being carried out, guess what the media will write? Want to give it a try?"

Jiang Ming stared intently at her for a long time, then suddenly laughed.

He then turned and walked back to the dining table, pressed the service bell again, and coldly ordered the person outside, "Open the door."

Tang Xu put down the vase, opened the door, and walked out.

Her face was pale, and she just wanted to leave this place as soon as possible, afraid that if she stayed for even a second longer, she would be unable to control herself from vomiting.

However, as she stepped out of the elevator, she ran into Jiang Muchen.

Jiang Muchen's gaze remained as cold and deep as ever, but he paused slightly upon seeing her. "You—"

Before he could utter a single word, Tang Xu suddenly raised his hand and slapped him hard across the face.

She couldn't control herself.

The moment she saw Jiang Muchen, she was so angry that she trembled all over. Just as she was about to raise her hand to hit him again, Jiang Muchen grabbed her wrist, his eyes filled with coldness, "Tang Xu, are you crazy?"

Tang Xu couldn't help but laugh out loud.

"Yes, I've gone mad." Tang Xu, her face pale, stared at him with a ghostly gaze. "Guess how I went mad?"

Jiang Muchen was momentarily stunned by her appearance. When he came to his senses, he pushed her away and said, "Don't act crazy in front of me!"

Tang Xu crashed heavily into the wall behind her, where a protruding ornament was pressing against her back, causing her to bend over in pain.

Jiang Muchen froze for a moment, before he could move, he heard Tang Xu slowly speak—

"Jiang Muchen, although I've always known you're shameless, today you've truly shown me the depths of shamelessness—"

Jiang Muchen gritted his teeth and said, "Tang Xu, you're asking for death."

Tang Xu straightened up with difficulty and met his gaze once again.

"Then you might as well kill me now." She looked at him, her eyes devoid of any warmth. "Otherwise, you'll definitely regret it in the future."

After saying this, Tang Xu didn't linger. She walked straight past him and almost stumbled out the door.

Jiang Muchen stood frozen in place for a long time before finally coming to his senses, frowning as he stepped into the elevator and went upstairs.

Arriving at the agreed-upon private room, he opened the door and saw Madam Jiang sitting alone inside, still gentle and graceful.

"You've arrived?" Madame Chiang smiled quickly when she saw him. "Come in and sit down."

Jiang Muchen stood at the door without moving, only asking one question: "Where is Mr. Jiang?"

“He’s busy and might be a little late,” Madame Chiang replied. “Please come in and have a seat.”

Jiang Muchen walked in slowly and sat down at the table.

"Why do you look so pale? Are you feeling unwell?" Madam Jiang said, reaching out to gently hold his fingers, feeling the warmth between them.

Jiang Muchen stared at her actions in disbelief. When he realized what was happening, he abruptly pulled his hand back and then slapped the woman across the face.

Madame Chiang was so badly beaten that she lost her composure.

"If you're sick, go get treatment!"

Jiang Muchen left those words behind, got up, and went out the door.

When he went downstairs and out of the hall, Tang Xu was nowhere to be seen.

Jiang Muchen stood there with a cold expression, and his assistant Tan Siyi quickly came forward to greet him, "Mr. Jiang, what happened?"

"Have you seen Tang Xu?" Jiang Muchen asked coldly.

"I saw it. She just came out of there, got into her car, and drove away."

Jiang Muchen closed his eyes, took a deep breath, and the veins on his forehead stood out.

……

Tang Xu did not return to the Song family.

To her, Jiang Muchen knew that place was not a safe place.

She returned to the small house she had bought in Yujing Bay.

There weren't many residents in the new building, and the whole community was very quiet. Tang Xu kept her body tense the whole way. When she got to the 7th floor, she opened the door and returned to her own private space.

She threw herself onto the newly delivered single sofa and remained motionless for a long time.

She didn't know how much time had passed when she heard her phone ring.

It rang for a long time before Tang Xu finally snapped out of her daze, found her phone, and answered it the instant it went dead, "Hello?"

"What are you doing?" Lu Xingyan asked her on the other end of the phone. "Why does your voice sound like that?"

"It's nothing." Tang Xu numbly held up her phone. "Is something wrong?"

Lu Xingyan paused before speaking, "Your previous guess was correct. Many people who turned against the Song family, including Yang Huai and Wu Yu, ultimately benefited. Behind the scenes, there are many twists and turns, and they all point to the Jiang family. In other words, it was Jiang Muchen who dug a pit for the Song family and personally pushed them onto a dead end."

Tang Xu listened and remained silent for a long while.

"What's wrong? Don't you have any comments to make?" Lu Xingyan asked.

After a long while, Tang Xu chuckled softly twice, "What else is there to say? I knew he was this kind of person all along, what's so surprising?"

Lu Xingyan paused for a moment before continuing, "What's strange is that he hasn't been relentlessly pursuing the Song family lately... To be precise, it seems that Jiang Muchen's attitude changed after your father was hospitalized."

“He wouldn’t,” Tang Xu said. “He’s just waiting, waiting until he’s finished enjoying the process, thoroughly humiliating and tormenting me, before he makes his move…”

Lu Xingyan sensed that Tang Xu was not in a good state. "Are you alright?"

"I'm sleepy," Tang Xu said. "I don't want to hear that person's name again..."

"Then you should get some rest," Lu Xingyan said. "We can talk about the rest when we meet tomorrow."

Tang Xu responded, hung up the phone, leaned back on the sofa, and closed her eyes.

After a long silence, just as Tang Xu was about to drift off to sleep, her phone rang again.

This time, she didn't even have the strength to open her eyes, and answered the phone directly, "Hello?"

There was a moment of silence on the other end of the phone before Yan Shiyu's voice came through: "Already asleep?"
