Marriage Seduction Addiction

Chapter 434 Understanding
Upon hearing Tang Xu's answer, Jiang Beiheng paused for a moment before asking, "You know him?"

“I know him, but he doesn’t know me,” Tang Xu said. “There’s been so much news about the Yan family lately, I’ve seen some of it. This Mr. Yan is a very popular figure, his photos are everywhere in the media, it’s hard not to see him…”

Upon hearing this, Jiang Beiheng simply nodded slowly.

“But when did the Yan family produce such a person?” Tang Xu asked again. “I thought the Yan family only had those two exiled descendants.”

Jiang Beiheng smiled slightly and said, "How can outsiders understand other people's family affairs?"

Tang Xu glanced at him sideways, "Aren't we relatives? How can you be considered an outsider?"

“Aren’t relatives outsiders?” Jiang Beiheng said. “Besides, young people nowadays don’t care about these things anymore, and kinship has long since become distant.”

After listening, Tang Xu gave a faint reply, and then said, "So, you mean that the relationship between the Jiang family and the Yan family is strained because of this Mr. Yan, right?"

Jiang Beiheng turned to look at her with a hint of helplessness, "I never said that."

Tang Xu chuckled softly, "So it seems I've really become more perceptive after losing my memory, haven't I?"

Jiang Beiheng still didn't give a clear answer, but the helplessness on his face remained the same, and the way he shook his head and smiled was obviously an admission.

Tang Xu didn't press further, as if she wasn't really concerned about these matters, and had only asked a couple of questions in the heat of the moment.

Jiang Beiheng naturally didn't say anything more.

At such an important occasion, with all sorts of big shots gathered, Tang Xu, despite having the titles of Jiang family's former daughter-in-law and Jiang Muchen's ex-wife, was ultimately just a nobody. Even when she was by Jiang Beiheng's side, she was only ignored.

So she settled into being invisible, greeting people when she needed to, eating when she needed to, and quietly observing the people coming and going in the venue when she had nothing to do, without any expression on her face.

It was as if they were completely detached from this place, as if they had no connection with anyone in the venue. Despite being in the most bustling and lively center, they enjoyed an extreme and boundless loneliness.

Meanwhile, in another bustling center, Ye Hanzhang was having a lively chat with Yan Shiyu.

The Yan family has been embroiled in numerous controversies recently, and many people would normally avoid them. However, perhaps because of Ye Hanzhang, many people still gathered around, chatting and laughing.

Despite the seemingly turbulent situation, Yan Shiyu remained composed and efficient amidst the crowd, seemingly unaffected by the Yan family's predicament, maintaining a calm and collected demeanor and acting with composure.

Only his gaze, which he couldn't hide, darted around a few times, but he withdrew it after only going halfway.

Ultimately, it didn't happen to her.

……

The banquet inside was halfway over when Gao Yan sat alone in the small garden on the outskirts, staring blankly at the plants in front of him.

After the incident, Yan Shiyu severed all ties with Tang Xu and no longer used any resources or manpower to protect Tang Xu, so Tang Xu's whereabouts were no longer known.

Therefore, Gao Yan only found out that Tang Xu would be there after Jiang Beiheng brought her into the venue.

Upon hearing the news, he only glanced at Tang Xu from afar at the doorway, but dared not approach him at all, nor did he dare to get close to Yan Shiyu to see his expression and state. He could only stay here alone.

Just then, a voice he knew all too well came from behind him: "Sir, is this your lighter?"

When Gao Yan turned around, he saw Tang Xu, who should have been in the meeting room.

In an instant, he jumped up from the bench he was sitting on.
