"She was in the hospital for almost two weeks and almost died. She ran away from home and had no news for three weeks. I was almost going crazy looking for her, but she went to Asia City for vacation. She didn't even ask about her father and threatened that she would not go back unless her father apologized to her. You said it's understandable that she hates my mother, but do you hate her father so much?"

Jiang Qi did not express any opinion and waited quietly for Tang Xin to continue.

"And then you know. Tang's father asked her to study financial management but she refused and insisted on studying jewelry design. Now she scolds me every day, saying that I encroached on her family's property. She should have the ability to take over her family's business. If I hadn't dropped out of school and helped Tang's father to take care of Jiayue when the Tang family got into trouble, the whole family would have been dead. How could she still quarrel with me here? And study design? I really owed her in my previous life. Who do you think I have offended? It was my mother who destroyed her family, not me. It's no use for her to bother me every day." Tang Xin became more and more excited as she spoke.

"And then you sent the person out." Jiang Qi interjected when she paused.

Tang Xin took a deep breath to calm herself down before continuing, "What else can I do? She and her father always quarrel when they are together. How can her father's heart be cured if things keep going like this? Besides, she studied jewelry design, and the education level in this field in China is not very good. She herself does not have much talent, and the university she studied in is not very good. I asked her to be an assistant for someone first, but she refused to do anything. Why should she work for others when I can be the boss? Well, I helped her set up a studio, but the young lady said she didn't want my charity. So she set up a small workshop by herself, but it has been almost a year since graduation and she hasn't made any progress. Her temper is getting worse and worse, so I simply sent her to Country Y to study again."

"Well done." Jiang Qi raised her hand to the tip of her nose and smiled softly. After adjusting herself for a while, she continued to ask, "What about you and Jing Hui? What's going on?"

Tang Xin seemed to be deflated when he mentioned this, and he leaned back in his chair. He said with a look of despair, "Weren't we at a classmate party that day? They kept forcing me to drink, and I blacked out. As a result, I woke up in the hotel the next morning, and Jing Hui and I were just lying on the bed. I was also very confused. Then I told him that it was okay, and I would not tell anyone about this. Only God and the earth knew about it, and he and I knew about it. But he insisted on pulling me to take responsibility. The next day, he brought his mother to my house to find my parents, and said that he had broken off the engagement with Luo Keke, and also filed a marriage report. On the third day, I married him inexplicably. After leaving the Civil Affairs Bureau, he went back to the army, and I couldn't see him or get through on the phone. Then it became like this. I want to explain to people, but I really don't know what happened."

"Then what are you going to do now?"

"What else can I do? I can only take it one step at a time. I can't get a divorce from this fucking marriage. It's so frustrating." Tang Xin's brows were tightly furrowed at this moment.

"What about your mother-in-law? Didn't you come with her?" In fact, based on Jiang Qi's understanding of Gu Jingcheng, he should have arranged for Jiang Qi to sit at a table alone today. But now Tang Xin is also here, which proves that she is left alone.

"We separated as soon as we came in. She doesn't like me, so it's good enough that she brought me along. I was expecting her to keep me by her side all the time."

As expected. To be honest, it was good enough for Tang Xin's mother-in-law to bring her here today. At least she acknowledged her as her daughter-in-law. Of all the wealthy ladies from the aristocratic families present today, I guess none of them would look down on Tang Xin. Part of the reason was related to her background. But the biggest reason was that she was doing business outside in the public eye, which was a taboo for girls in this circle.

This is the traditional concept in their circle. Business matters should be handled by men. Girls should just be a good daughter of a rich family, be a good lady, and when they are old enough, find a man who can benefit the family and marry him to be a good wife and mother. Just don't bring shame to the family.

Although it was true, it was not appropriate to discuss this topic any further, so Jiang Qi changed the subject.

"By the way, how do you know how many days I've been back?" Jiang Qi was a little confused. When Tang Xin saw her just now, she was very calm and not surprised at all, and she even knew how many days she had been back.

"Oh, I knew you were back two days ago. I wanted to call you but I didn't know your current contact information, so I planned to go to your house to find you. But I was busy these two days and didn't have time. It just so happened that my mother-in-law received an invitation from Mr. Gu asking me to come with her, so I thought you would definitely come too, so I didn't go to find you." Tang Xin explained to her without leaving out anything, why he didn't go to find her even though he knew she was back.

"How did you know? Who told you?" Jiang Qi was even more confused. She had only been in contact with a few people in the past few days, and had not had time to contact anyone outside. Those people could not have had any contact with Tang Xin. And they went to tell her that she was back.

"That guy Zhao Fengming said so. When I saw him a few days ago, he told me that he saw you."

"Zhao Fengming. The one from the Zhao Group?"

"Yeah." Tang Xin nodded. Then he looked up and pointed in a direction with his chin: "Here, that one."

Jiang Qi looked in the direction and saw a familiar person, the Zhao Fengming whom he had seen two days ago. He was wearing a formal suit today, without all the odds and ends. He was chatting happily with a table of people of the same generation. The four people sitting with him were all future heirs of their respective families.

Jiang Qi frowned slightly: "How did he get in?" Zhao Shi alone was not qualified to come in today. He was not qualified to sit with them.

"He told me that he came in with an invitation from his uncle's family. His uncle couldn't come, Aunt Ming had classes today and couldn't leave, and his eldest brother didn't have time. So he came as a representative." Tang Xin explained beside her.

"Are you familiar with him?"

"We're not that familiar, but we can talk to each other."

Jiang Qi looked in his direction, narrowed her eyes, and then said softly as if talking to herself: "He can also talk to Gu Jingcheng."

"Not only that, look at the people present today, is anyone surprised to see you?" Although her voice was soft, Tang Xin heard it and took over her words.

"What do you mean?" Jiang Qi retracted his gaze and looked at Tang Xin beside him.

"I'm not bragging to you. Even though this kid seems to be a bit lazy and unfocused all day long, he can always talk to any of the young people of his generation from the famous families in the capital. So, he must have spread the news of your return a long time ago."

"How did he do it?" Jiang Qi became even more curious.

"Didn't this kid graduate two years ago? His family sent him to study in Country Y. But after only one year, he came back and rented a place to open a club. I don't know where he learned this, but his club is different from others. The things he plays are not cliché, but novel and exciting. The service quality is good and private. These young men often go to his place to play because they are curious. He is also good at handling things, so he got to know them well."

"Novel, exciting?" Jiang Qi looked at Tang Xin's face and saw that the expression on her face was not very good. The meaning she wanted to express was self-evident.

"Oh, what are you thinking about?" Tang Xin reacted instantly and waved his hand. Then he continued, "I've been to that place and it's very clean. There's no shady services or business. Those people go there just for this reason."

"Oh." Jiang Qi nodded to show that he understood. "Then I really underestimated this guy. By the way, what does he do in his club?"

"We have everything. Like..." Tang Xin was interrupted by the waiter before she could finish her words.
