Marriage Seduction Addiction

Chapter 68 The Pain of Three People
A stone stirred up a thousand waves.

It wasn't just Gao Yan, who was at Yan's, who reacted. That afternoon, Tang Xu's phone was ringing off the hook, and countless media outlets flocked to the freight company, blocking the company gates, trying to get Tang Xu's first response.

However, what no one knew was that after contacting a lawyer early in the morning, Tang Xu boarded a high-speed train to a neighboring city.

Tang Xu spent the whole day at a large freight company in a neighboring city before returning to Huai City in the evening. He then met up with some industry veterans for dinner and stayed at the club until 9 p.m.

After finishing her meal, Tang Xu was about to leave when she suddenly heard a somewhat familiar voice behind her—

"sister in law?"

Tang Xu turned around and saw Jiang Xingci from the third branch of the Jiang family.

He is Jiang Muchen's cousin. He returned from studying abroad two years ago and has also joined the management of Jiang's company, where he is said to hold the title of administrative manager.

Tang Xu had only met him a few times and was not very familiar with him. Last time at Jiang Beiheng's birthday party, she only nodded and greeted him briefly.

Unexpectedly, Tang Xu didn't react much when she met him here. She simply said, "Don't call me that anymore, it's not appropriate."

Jiang Xingci was taken aback at first, then seemed to realize something, smiled awkwardly, and after a pause, asked, "Is there really no way to salvage this?"

Tang Xu looked at him and smiled slightly, "Who would want to win him back?"

Jiang Xingci seemed embarrassed for a moment before saying, "Your uncle definitely doesn't want you and Brother Chen to divorce. He has always hoped that you two can be together."

Tang Xu said, "Unfortunately, some hopes are destined to remain just hopes."

Jiang Xingci was about to say something when suddenly someone else walked out of the elevator. Tang Xu turned around and saw Gao Yan and Yan Shiyu behind him.

Probably not expecting to meet Tang Xu here, Gao Yan's eyes widened slightly. "Miss Tang?"

The tone of surprise was so obvious, it was as if his gossipy nature was written all over his face.

Tang Xu merely smiled slightly at him, exchanged a glance with Yan Shiyu, and quickly looked away.

At the same time, Jiang Xingci quickly said goodbye to Tang Xu: "Then I'll go first, so as not to keep you from further, Miss Tang."

He turned and left. Tang Xu couldn't help but glance at his back before turning back to look at Gao Yan and Yan Shiyu standing behind her: "I'm leaving now too. Goodbye, Mr. Gao. Goodbye... Mr. Yan."

After saying this, Tang Xu didn't linger and went straight out the door.

Because she anticipated drinking that evening, Tang Xu didn't drive. While waiting for a taxi in the front porch of the club, a black Phantom slowly pulled up beside her.

Immediately afterwards, Tang Xu was pulled into the car.

The car drove smoothly on the night road, with the partition separating the front and rear seats into two worlds.

Tang Xu looked at the person who had pulled her into the car, bit her lip, and said, "Mr. Yan, you're too bold. Do you know how many media outlets called me today? Aren't you afraid that someone will see me get into your car and drag you into this mess as well?"

Yan Shiyu looked at her. "What? Wasn't I already in the middle of this vortex?"

Tang Xu looked at him, speechless for a moment. After a while, she tilted her head and leaned on his shoulder.

The car drove all the way to Qiushuitai.

Tang Xu figured out the car's route but didn't say anything. She followed him into the house, threw herself onto the sofa, and finally took out her phone from her handbag, scrolling through the messages that were almost burying her.

Her bad reputation has already spread, and this time, filing for divorce on such a reason, the public is mostly speculating negatively about her.

"She was so ruthless in her pursuit of marrying Jiang Muchen, so of course Jiang Muchen was unwilling to commit to this marriage with her."

"Imagine you have someone you love dearly who is left disabled for life because of a third party, but you are forced to marry that third party. Would you sleep in the same bed with such a person? You would stay as far away as possible!"

"Jiang Muchen is merciful for not killing such a filthy and rotten woman, and he even maintained a two-year marriage with her... What exactly does this woman have against him?"

"Does she really want a divorce? Or is she trying to stir up trouble and get Jiang Muchen's attention?"

"Perhaps seeing no hope in the marriage, she wants a divorce, to make a quick buck and leave? After all, her father is dead, and the Song family has nothing to do with her anymore, so it's more realistic for her to keep some money in her own hands..."

……

Before Tang Xu could see any more, Yan Shiyu changed his clothes and came out of the bedroom, taking the phone from her hand.

Tang Xu didn't try to grab it, but just stayed there, tilting her head to look at him, "I have a meeting early tomorrow morning, so I won't be here with you tonight... I haven't prepared anything, and I'm afraid I won't have enough time tomorrow morning."

"Why didn't you tell me beforehand?" Yan Shiyu asked, glancing at her phone screen.

Tang Xu let out a slight breath and said, "I was prepared for this a long time ago, even before I met you. It just so happens that the time came today, so I had my lawyer handle it for me... So I didn't plan to tell anyone in advance... It's been dragging on for two years, so being able to resolve it a day earlier is a blessing for me."

After she gave that answer, Yan Shiyu didn't respond for a long time.

The silence lasted a little too long, and Tang Xu finally realized something and looked up at him.

Yan Shiyu was still looking at her phone, the light from the screen faintly reflecting on his face, revealing his calm expression.

"Don't look anymore." Tang Xu sat up straight and took the phone from his hand. "If you look at it too much, I'm afraid Mr. Yan will be afraid of me in the future."

Yan Shiyu finally turned to look at her, "Why should I be afraid of you?"

Tang Xu waved her phone, indicating the speculations about her contained within, but the moment she met Yan Shiyu's gaze, she suddenly realized that Yan Shiyu wasn't asking about that.

After a moment of silence, Tang Xu slowly moved into his arms, sat on him, and leaned on his shoulder.

"Two years ago, I married him. We didn't have a big celebration. The so-called ceremony was just a tea ceremony at the Jiang family mansion to pay respects to our ancestors. But that very night, the woman he loved most had an accident..."

Tang Xu's voice was very calm and quiet.

"You've probably heard about this. Her experience was very unfortunate... And coincidentally, I know two of the people who caused her misfortune. Isn't that a coincidence?"

At this point, Tang Xu couldn't help but laugh, "It's so obvious, what room is there for excuses? I've already successfully squeezed her out and married into the Jiang family, but I still won't let her go... Of course Jiang Muchen hates me."

"I hate that I married him, I hate that I took away Mrs. Jiang's position, I hate that I caused his most beloved woman to suffer an accident and become disabled, and I hate even more that I made the woman he loves heartbroken and in pain—"

Tang Xu said, word by word, "I am the root of all their suffering, the culprit, and the person they can never forgive in their lives."
