Marriage Seduction Addiction

Chapter 26 From Now On, No More Entanglement

Song Yuqiao was emotional, tears streaming down her face. "Are you satisfied now? Didn't you just want to see our family fall apart and die? Now you've finally got what you wanted! If you hadn't insisted on a divorce, how could our Song family have fallen to this state! Tang Xu, you jinx! If anything happens to Dad, it's all your fault—"

Her cries and screams continued to pierce Tang Xu's ears. Tang Xu's head was about to explode with pain. Finally, he turned around and slapped Song Yuqiao hard across the face.

In an instant, Song Yuqiao was completely stunned.

"Dad isn't dead yet, stop your useless tears, they're bad luck."

Tang Xu's tone was extremely stiff. After saying this, he glanced at Qin Yun again, then turned and walked towards the elevator.

Song Yuting was in the operating room, and her condition was unclear. She didn't want to make a scene outside.

But with her mind blank, she seemed to lose her way. By the time she came to her senses, she was already standing at the entrance of the hospital building.

She was somewhat dazed and unsure of where to go when she suddenly saw a Bentley drive up in front of her.

The driver got out of the car and opened the door. Jiang Muchen stepped out of the car and walked straight up to her.

"Why are you standing here?" He glanced casually into the outpatient building. "Where's Song Yuting? Is she alright?"

Tang Xu looked at him, her expression stiff and cold. "What did you say to my father? Why did he suddenly have a heart attack?"

Jiang Muchen's gaze paused slightly, then he looked up again and scoffed, "Let me answer you first. The reason he had a heart attack is because he has a heart condition, understand?"

Tang Xu looked at him, her hands involuntarily clenching tightly.

"As for what I said to him..." Jiang Muchen slowly began, "I told him that I would definitely be a responsible man. Since I married you, I would take good care of you for the rest of my life and grow old with you, so that he could rest assured."

He stepped forward, getting closer to Tang Xu, "Isn't this what I should say? He had a heart attack, and I rushed him to the hospital immediately. Now I've even put aside my company business to come see him. As his son-in-law, I've done my duty, haven't I? What, do you think I haven't done enough?"

Tang Xu looked at him, a desolate smile gradually rising in her eyes.

Jiang Muchen looked at her as if she were a madwoman. "What are you laughing at?"

"Jiang Muchen, before this, I always thought that we could part amicably..." Tang Xu murmured, "but it turns out it really wasn't possible."

"You're only realizing this now?" Jiang Muchen said as if he had heard something ridiculous. "Tang Xu, what right do you have to promise to part ways amicably?"

"So, this is one of the ways you made me wish I were dead, isn't it?"

Jiang Muchen's gaze instantly turned icy.

Meeting his gaze, Tang Xu chuckled, "I'm so stupid."

Jiang Muchen vaguely felt that she hadn't finished speaking.

Sure enough, Tang Xu's gaze fell lightly on his face, her voice clear and cold, "If I have such great power, if I can make you hate me so much, why should I part ways with you amicably? Two years ago, I could force you to marry me into the Jiang family, I could cause Jiang Wanning to break ties with you, and I can also make her—"

Upon hearing Jiang Wanning's name, Jiang Muchen instantly flew into a rage. Before Tang Xu could finish speaking, he grabbed Tang Xu by the neck.

"Dare you say another word?" Jiang Muchen was indeed furious. "Tang Xu, do you think the Song family hasn't suffered enough? You want to drag everyone else down with you? Besides Song Yuting, you don't care about your stepmother, stepsister, or stepsister, do you? If I can mess with one, I can mess with the second. Do you want to try?"

"Then go ahead and try," Tang Xu said with a smile. "How much do I care about these people you mentioned? How can their importance to me compare to Miss Jiang Wanning's importance to you?"

Jiang Muchen's eyes were cold and gloomy. "You dare threaten me?"

“Having come this far, what wouldn’t I dare to do?” Tang Xu said. “I’ve already committed so many sins, I don’t care about one more.”

"If you dare take a single step near her—" Jiang Muchen's eyes were bloodshot with rage, "I will make you regret ever being born!"

He tightened his grip, but Tang Xu's smile grew clearer. "See, you're scared... You might as well just strangle me now, otherwise, I'm afraid you'll regret it later..."

In that instant, Tang Xu truly felt that she would die at Jiang Muchen's hands—

However, the next moment, Jiang Muchen suddenly let go and pushed her away forcefully.

Tang Xu crashed heavily into the wall behind her. Jiang Muchen just looked at her, stared at her for a long while, and then turned and left without saying another word to her.

Tang Xu felt dizzy and had no idea what was happening. She finally managed to stand up straight when a hand suddenly reached out and helped her.

A young man's voice asked her, "Are you alright?"

Tang Xu slowly shook her head before looking up at him.

The man in front of me was a handsome young man I had met once before.

"I'm fine," Tang Xu said. "Thank you, Mr. Gao."

Yan Shiyu's assistant, Gao Yan.

"Miss Tang has a good memory." Gao Yan wasn't surprised that she recognized him. Recalling what had happened earlier, he glanced in the direction Jiang Muchen had left with lingering fear. After thinking for a moment, he decided not to ask and instead asked, "What are you doing at the hospital?"

Tang Xu simply waved her hand without replying, quickly said goodbye to him, and headed towards the elevator.

Gao Yan initially thought she had gone upstairs, but when he finished his business and went down to the underground parking lot, he unexpectedly saw Tang Xu again.

She didn't go upstairs or leave; she just sat in her car, like a doll, quiet, pale, and expressionless.

Gao Yan paused for a moment, but ultimately did not go forward to disturb him, and quietly left.

……

Gao Yan returned to the Yan family at one o'clock in the afternoon.

He had just reached the door of Yan Shiyu's office when the door suddenly opened, and Wang Xun came out with two other senior executives. None of them looked too good.

Gao Yan was somewhat shocked, "The meeting has been going on until now?"

Although he was an assistant, he always stayed by Yan Shiyu's side. He was also very lively, so Wang Xun didn't put on airs in front of him. "Mr. Yan may be gentle and refined, but he really works like a madman..."

Gao Yan shrugged. "Always the same."

Upon hearing this, Wang Xun could only sigh.

Gao Yan brought a stack of documents into the office. Yan Shiyu, who had just dismissed Wang Xun and the others, was not resting and was reading a report. Compared to the others who had turned pale earlier, he was as usual, his clothes were still in pristine condition, and he was dignified and elegant.

Gao Yan placed the documents on his desk and, after a moment of silence, suddenly said, "I went to the hospital and unexpectedly ran into Miss Tang there... oh, no, Mrs. Jiang."

Yan Shiyu's attention was still focused on the report in his hand, and he seemed not to have heard what he said at all.

"Her father suffered a heart attack and was rushed to the hospital. She got into an argument with Jiang Muchen at the door, and Jiang Muchen even hit her!"

"She was almost strangled to death by Jiang Muchen! If Jiang Muchen hates her to this extent, why did he marry her in the first place?"

"Mrs. Jiang is so pitiful..."

He rambled on and on, but never received a response from Yan Shiyu.

Gao Yan felt like he had punched a cotton ball, rolled his eyes, and prepared to leave.

But as soon as I turned around, I heard Yan Shiyu's voice—

"Since you're so free, then go and compile all the data on the company's projects worth tens of millions over the past fifteen years. I need it within 24 hours."

The man's voice was steady, just like his deep eyes, without a ripple.

Gao Yan's pupils dilated instantly.

It turns out we didn't hit the cotton.

Instead, they kicked a hornet's nest!
