Marriage Seduction Addiction

Chapter 63 Men's Slippers in the Trash Bag

Tang Xu drove quietly, without saying another word.

In fact, from the time Song Yuting passed away until yesterday, she and Yan Shiyu had only met twice.

He had promised her that neither the Song family nor Song Yuting would be in trouble, but Song Yuting suddenly passed away...

This was a huge setback for Tang Xu.

Even she herself had started to give up, so she subconsciously felt that Song Yuting's death was a turning point in the case.

The investigators can now work less hard to find evidence to convict Song Yuting, and those who have been working tirelessly on the case because of her can probably finally breathe a sigh of relief.

But she never expected that Duan Siwei and Gao Yan were still trying to resolve the matter.

When Yan Shiyu came to see her last night, he didn't mention it at all.

During that period, he was distant, and she even thought he had lost interest in her...

But after last night and this phone call, Tang Xu realized that things were not as she had guessed.

"Miss Tang?" Gao Yan called out to her on the other end of the phone.

"I'm here." Tang Xu quickly came to her senses and asked, "How do you plan to resolve this?"

Gao Yan said, "We have been verifying that all the so-called evidence is false. This actually requires a lot of manpower and resources and it was not easy to solve. However, recently, two people who originally confessed to testifying against Song have suddenly changed their testimonies, so things have become simpler... The results should be available soon."

Tang Xu was momentarily stunned upon hearing this, and it took her a while to say, "Thank you, you've worked so hard. I'll treat you to a meal once things are settled."

Gao Yan smiled and agreed.

Before long, Tang Xu arrived at the coffee shop where he was to meet Qin Yun, but waited for more than an hour before finally seeing her.

The moment Tang Xu saw Qin Yun, her heart sank.

Less than half a month after Song Yuting's death, Qin Yun had become extremely thin, and her eyes and brows, which were not usually cheerful, appeared even more cold and stern.

"Auntie..." Tang Xu thought that Song Yuting's death would be a huge blow to her, but she didn't expect her to be so heartbroken.

"You're back." Facing her, Qin Yun remained calm. "How's Nancheng?"

“The sun is shining brightly,” Tang Xu said. “You can also stay there for a while if you have time, soak up the sun, it’s very comfortable.”

"Okay," Qin Yun agreed, but it was obvious at a glance that her mind wasn't really on it.

Tang Xu paused for a moment before telling her about the upcoming relief for the Song family.

Qin Yun had always only cared about Song Yuting. After Song Yuting's death, it seemed that nothing about the Song family mattered to her anymore, and she only gave a faint "hmm".

"Once everything settles down, the inheritance issue will definitely need to be addressed," Tang Xu said. "I don't want anything else, just give me Feng Zheng. Auntie, do you agree?"

"Okay," Qin Yun replied almost without thinking.

Seeing her absent-minded appearance, Tang Xu fell silent for a moment.

Fortunately, Qin Yun seemed to come back to her senses after a short while, and looked at Tang Xu, "Fengzheng has no assets and doesn't make much money, what do you need it for?"

"I find it too troublesome and don't want to get involved in the head office's business," Tang Xu said. "So, all I need is Fengzheng."

"Whatever you want," Qin Yun said, and didn't say anything more.

"Then I'll prepare a contract immediately, and we'll sign it as soon as possible," Qin Yun replied calmly.

Seeing her like this, Tang Xu knew that it would be futile to say anything more. She immediately called Cheng Jin at the Song family and asked him to prepare a contract for her, and to let the Qin family, who currently controlled the Song family, know about it "inadvertently".

Sure enough, not long after, Cheng Jin delivered the documents, followed by Qin Zhaowen and a lawyer who had also come from the Song family.

Qin Zhaowen urged the lawyer to review the terms one by one. After confirming that Tang Xu only wanted the useless Feng Zheng, he immediately took the initiative to help. Not only did Qin Yun sign the document, but Song Yuqiao and Song Luobai, who were still at school, also signed it on the same day, agreeing that Feng Zheng would belong to Tang Xu. At the same time, Tang Xu voluntarily gave up all other inheritance rights.

That evening, Tang Xu drove away Feng Zheng's relative of the emperor and swiftly took over the freight company, continuing to implement a series of new measures that he and Lu Xingyan had previously devised.

She had little experience in this kind of practical management, so she studied in the office until late at night that day, until her eyes were dry, before turning off the lights and leaving.

Back at Royal Bay, it was quiet and peaceful; she was all alone.

Tang Xu was already very tired, but she still couldn't help but think of Yan Shiyu.

But then I thought, even serious couples can't meet and date every day, let alone them...

Therefore, Tang Xu took a shower and went straight to sleep.

After sleeping soundly until dawn, I had to rush to Fengzheng without stopping.

Just as Tang Xu finished getting ready to leave, she suddenly heard the doorbell ring.

Upon opening the door, a deliveryman stood outside, holding a box. "Excuse me, are you Miss Tang?"

Tang Xu responded.

The deliveryman handed over the box, saying, "These are the items you sent for cleaning yesterday. They've been cleaned and are ready. Please sign for them."

Tang Xu took the box with some doubt, and was stunned for a moment when she opened it.

Inside the box were the men's slippers that she had thrown into the trash bag!

Tang Xu was a little taken aback. "Sent to the laundry yesterday?"

"Yes." The deliveryman was also a little surprised. "Isn't this your package? Did I deliver it to the wrong address?"

After saying that, he was about to check the order when Tang Xu quickly said, "It's mine, that's right."

Hearing this, the deliveryman finally seemed unable to contain his curiosity and asked, "Ms. Tang, if I may ask, what brand are these slippers? The dry cleaners have never seen this kind of material before..."

Tang Xu guessed that he probably meant that the dry cleaners had never seen such cheap and low-quality slippers sent for cleaning before...

After all, the dry cleaning fee is worth more than these slippers.

To avoid making the whole thing seem too bizarre, Tang Xu decided to lie through her teeth, "It's a niche brand from Europe. I brought it back from a trip there. You probably can't find it in China. It's all handmade and custom-made, and it's quite expensive!"

"I see, no wonder there's no brand logo. Handmade items are just different."

The deliveryman smiled and nodded in agreement, but his eyes were clearly filled with pity as he looked at Tang Xu, as if to say—

What a terrible injustice!

Actually, Tang Xu also wanted to say this.

Who would actually think of sending a pair of slippers that cost only a few dollars to the dry cleaners?
Why not just buy two more pairs instead of this?
Faced with this almost insane action, Tang Xu thought for a moment, then took a picture of the shoes she had just received and sent it to the victim.
