Marriage Seduction Addiction

Chapter 59 Using Oneself as an Exchange
That night, it wasn't until late that Tang Xu was finally sent back to Yujing Bay by Lu Xingyan.

Tang Xu sat quietly in the passenger seat, looking out the window, without saying a word.

Her expression was calm, while Lu Xingyan's expression was very unpleasant.

The day was filled with chaos after Song Yuting suddenly passed away.

The most chaotic moment came when Qin Yun's family arrived—

Lu Xingyan could no longer bear to recall those words that attacked Tang Xu. He was angry, he was furious, and he wished he could rush forward and kick one of them over.

But Tang Xu held him tightly, from beginning to end.

As the car entered the underground parking lot, Lu Xingyan parked it in a space, but immediately noticed a car parked opposite that didn't belong there.

The moment she looked up, Tang Xu saw it too.

Lu Xingyan turned to look at her and said, "If you don't want to see him, I'll go and tell him to leave."

“It’s alright,” Tang Xu said. “He’s so busy, yet he still came to see me. How could I not see him?”

After saying that, she pushed open the door, got out of the car, and walked towards the car opposite.

The driver got out of the car and opened the back door for Tang Xu, who then got in.

Yan Shiyu looked at her quietly.

Her expression was calm, with a faint redness at the corners of her eyes. She even managed a smile when she looked at him, saying, "You're here."

Yan Shiyu raised his hand and gently stroked the corner of her eye with his fingertips.

"I'll probably be quite busy these next few days, and the schedule is uncertain," Tang Xu said. "I'll probably be spending most of my time at the Song family's place, so please don't come looking for me here for now, lest you come looking for nothing."

After a long silence, Yan Shiyu finally spoke: "If you need anything, just give me a call."

Tang Xu thought that there was probably nothing she needed.

As soon as Song Yuting left, Qin Yun fainted. Song Yuqiao and Song Luobai were too young, and the Qin family took care of the funeral arrangements, so she didn't have to worry about anything, let alone need any help.

In fact, as the Qin family said, she only needs to take care of herself.

In an instant, countless thoughts raced through Tang Xu's mind, but only one word came out: "Okay."

Yan Shiyu looked at her for a long time before finally saying, "Go upstairs and get some rest."

Tang Xu smiled again, "Okay. Go back and get some rest. Good night."

She opened the door and got out of the car. On the other side, Lu Xingyan quickly got out of the car as well. He only glanced in this direction before accompanying Tang Xu into the elevator.

He accompanied Tang Xu all the way to her doorstep. Tang Xu opened the door and then turned to look at him, saying, "You must be tired after a long day. Go home now."

“I want to watch over you,” Lu Xingyan said.

Tang Xu slowly exhaled, "Why are you looking at me like that? I'm not a child anymore. My father's health has always been poor, and I've long expected this day to come... As for me, it's just that I owe him, and there's no way to repay him now..."

Lu Xingyan frowned. "He doesn't want you to think that way."

"I know." Tang Xu nodded. "So don't worry, I'll be fine."

Lu Xingyan remained standing still until Tang Xu pushed him into the elevator again, at which point he finally left.

When they returned to the underground parking lot, they found that Yan Shiyu's car was still parked there and had not left.

Lu Xingyan withdrew her gaze, returned to her car, sat quietly for a moment, and then quickly left.

……

Tang Xu was busy at home all night.

She cleaned the house thoroughly, inside and out, even under the bed, wiping away every speck of dust. As dawn approached, she rearranged the few pieces of simple furniture in the living room from top to bottom.

Thankfully, no one has moved into the apartment downstairs yet, otherwise I would most likely have filed a complaint.

By the time I finished everything at the house, it was already dawn.

Tang Xu took a shower, dried her hair, lay down on the bed with the sheets changed, and finally fell into a deep sleep.

She knew what would happen after Song Yuting's death, and she knew what filial piety she should show as a child, but she couldn't do anything about it—

Her appearance will only bring endless arguments and accusations.

Song Yuting is no longer here.

He was already troubled by all sorts of things during his life, and after his death, Tang Xu wanted to give him some peace.

So she never went back to the Song family.

She stayed in her house for three days straight.

She finally left the house on the day of Song Yuting's funeral.

She did not follow the funeral procession for Song Yuting, but waited until everyone had left before placing a flower at Song Yuting's grave.

She stood in front of Song Yuting's grave for a long time, and after returning to the city, she went straight to her company.

The Song family was bustling with activity at that moment.

The Qin family, led by Qin Zhaowen, was gathered in the conference room discussing something, but the atmosphere changed instantly when Tang Xu returned.

Tang Xu was forcibly dragged into the conference room, where a group of people pressured her to hand over the company.

“Now that my uncle has passed away and the funeral arrangements are complete, these matters should be sorted out,” Qin Zhaowen said. “Why are you holding onto the Song family? My aunt, Yuqiao, and Luobai are all legal heirs. If you refuse to let go, then we’ll take them to court. See you in court.”

Tang Xu paused for a moment, then slowly said, "Although Dad has passed away, the economic cases involving the company are not yet resolved, do you know that?"

“Of course we know!” Qin Zhaowen said. “So what if it’s not over? Even if something is found out, the Song family won’t be completely wiped out! So you have to hand over the company! If you continue to control it, in the end you might really have nothing left!”

Tang Xu said, "Okay."

Everyone was surprised by her quick agreement and was momentarily filled with doubt and uncertainty. "Tang Xu, don't try anything funny!"

"Nothing fancy," Tang Xu said. "I'll take exactly what I'm entitled to from Dad's assets, not a penny more!"

"You still want a share? You're the daughter of an ex-wife. If you hadn't caused so much trouble, the Song family wouldn't be in this state, and your father might not have died. What right do you have to claim a share?"

"You don't even want to give me my share?" Tang Xu said. "It's fine, then let's go to court. Anyway, I'm not in a hurry."

Upon hearing this, the person on the other end became anxious.

After further discussion, everyone agreed to divide the inheritance according to the normal proportions. In the end, Tang Xu would only receive one or two tenths, which was considered a way to get rid of the plague god.

That evening, Tang Xu invited Lu Xingyan out for drinks and told him the news that the company had been handed over. "So, do you still want to continue working for the new Song family?"

Lu Xingyan practically rolled her eyes to the heavens. "Do you know that you haven't paid me a single salary since I came back?"

"Huh?" Tang Xu was surprised. "Haven't I paid you a salary? Then consider this drink as your salary for the past few months. Enjoy it!"

Lu Xingyan slapped her hand away, and in the blink of an eye, he suddenly saw a group of people coming down from the second floor of the bar.

He quickly looked away, trying to distract Tang Xu, but Tang Xu had already spotted Jiang Muchen among the group.

She and Lu Xingyan sat at the bar, completely inconspicuous.

But when Tang Xu forcefully threw the beer bottle in his hand towards the stairs, smashing it to pieces on the stair railing, everyone noticed them.
