After Divorce, Hidden Marriage Husband Became Addicted to Me-Chapter 517 - 349:

He was not satisfied with her words.

"I don’t mind you crying out loud, letting your friends downstairs hear."

"Uncle Er, rest assured, I will definitely bite your throat first before I scream."

Rong Qingze raised his hand, his slender fingertips pinching Rong Yanqiao’s chin, "Why don’t you call me by my name now, knowing to call me Uncle Er."

"Uncle Er, I will help you with what you want, I will help you obtain the Huo Family too, that was our initial agreement, we will take down Huo Yanshu together, make him pay a price, now Huo Yanshu is about to fall, our goal is about to be achieved."

"To deceive him like this, you really are a cruel woman."

"When he chose to save Wenming instead of me in the fire back then, he should have known, Ruan Youqing no longer exists in this world."

-

Tang Xi glanced at her wristwatch.

She had already been waiting for an hour.

The servant had also brought over the third cup of drink.

Tang Xi asked with a smile, "Do you have warm water?"

"Of course, Miss Tang, please wait a moment." After two minutes, a servant brought over a cup of warm water, and also presented a delicate serving of tea snacks.

Tang Xi just maintained a polite smile and did not ask too much. She was not very familiar with Rong Yanqiao, but the impression Rong Yanqiao gave her was not someone who would deliberately play tricks on people, not the type to invite her over just to leave her hanging here.

It must be something important.

It just so happened that Tang Xi had a day off and was not in a hurry.

She stood up, slightly eased her somewhat stiff shoulders and neck, and said to the servant, "Since Miss Rong is busy, can I go for a walk in the yard?"

The servant led the way, "Let me take you on a tour, the decoration of Yunshui Manor is quite renowned throughout North City, it was designed by the famous architect Kang Bingkun, unique and distinctive, with attractions like the Lotus Pond, Purple Bamboo Garden, the Koi Pond here, and Feiyan Pavilion."

Tang Xi heard again about this Uncle Er of the Rong Family.

She didn’t know much about the great noble families of North City, but later learned a lot through Jiang Wangyue’s enlightenments.

The Rong Family is not to be underestimated.

Old Mr. Rong had three sons, the eldest son of the Rong Family, Rong Er, and Rong San. Rong San passed away a few years ago due to illness.

As for Old Rong, he divided the family business equally between two of his sons, with the eldest son of the Rong Family managing real estate and Rong Er steering the entertainment media, almost monopolizing half of the entertainment industry.

He truly wielded immense power.

And Rong Yanqiao, she was adopted by Rong San three years ago, just before he passed away.

She has no blood relation to the Rong Family.

After walking around the yard, Tang Xi returned to the parlor and continued to wait.

When the servant brought over a cup of tea for the fourth time, Rong Yanqiao finally came downstairs; she seemed to have just taken a shower, wearing a light pink cotton lounge dress, her hair half-dry, her face without makeup, and her cheeks rosily flushed from bathing.

She came over and apologized to Tang Xi.

Tang Xi had waited for an hour and a half and indeed felt a bit of dissatisfaction. However, from her brief two encounters with Rong Yanqiao, she didn’t think she was the kind to intentionally stand someone up. Plus, the jade bracelet worth millions was promptly commissioned by Rong Yanqiao without a word. This was a major customer, after all. Tang Xi stood up, "I haven’t waited long, Miss Rong, do you find it to your satisfaction?"

The box too was a high-quality wooden box specially selected by Meng Qin.

Carved with exquisite patterns.

Rong Yanqiao glanced at it and expressed satisfaction, instructing the servant to put the jewelry away, "Tang Xi, I’m really sorry I got held up by something today, I didn’t mean to keep you waiting. How about this, let’s pick a date and I’ll treat you to a meal, you can choose any place in North City."

"No need to trouble yourself."

"It’s settled then!" Rong Yanqiao decided on the spot, grabbing Tang Xi’s hand, "I want to order a pair of men’s cufflinks for Huo Yanshu. You can design them; whatever I give him, he always likes."

The statement seemed almost coy.

It seemed like she was showing off her place in Huo Yanshu’s heart to Tang Xi.

But Rong Yanqiao was saying this while looking at the man upstairs.

Tang Xi naturally nodded in agreement; another order, thank you, rich lady.

Rong Qingze slowly walked downstairs, "Yanqiao, aren’t you going to introduce me to your friend here, the designer?"

Tang Xi looked towards the other person.

This was the second master of Rong Family.

The man in front of her was lean, very tall, wearing a suit of ash-gray homewear, with fair skin, single eyelids, and a slight arc to the corners of his eyes when he smiled, making him look just over 30, but Tang Xi vaguely remembered that this second master of the Rong Family should be thirty-six or thirty-seven by now.

The real person was not as Tang Xi had imagined.

The man in front of her was handsome and gentle, but also sly like a fox.

Rong Yanqiao stood in front of Tang Xi, looking straight at Rong Qingze, "Second Uncle, this is a designer from Fu’s Jewelry. I’ve prepared a bracelet for grandma, designed by her. I really like it, so I asked her to design a pair of cufflinks for Yanhsu brother, whose birthday is coming."

After the fact, Tang Xi realized that Rong Er and Rong Yanqiao were wearing the same style of clothing.

A suspicion quietly formed in her heart.

Indeed, among the wealthy families, there’s plenty of gossip!

Their ambiguous tone was strong.

Considering the strong ambiguity between them, then the Huo Yanshu that Rong Yanqiao mentioned... Tang Xi felt that she might have stumbled upon quite a substantial piece of gossip. Isn’t Rong Yanqiao supposed to be Huo Yanshu’s girlfriend? Now...

"You remember Huo Yanshu’s birthday quite clearly," Rong Qingze spoke without a trace of anger in his tone or expression, instead, there was a smile on his lips, and even a bit of an elder’s indulgence towards a younger relative, "I didn’t expect Yanshu’s birthday to come so soon. Remember to bring him to the Rong Family for a meal, let grandpa and grandma get to know him better."

Rong Yanqiao smiled sweetly, "Got it, Second Uncle?"

"Second Uncle, I’m going out to dinner with the designer later tonight. I’ll go up and change," she said, then tugged on Tang Xi’s sleeve, "Wait for me for ten minutes, I’ll come down soon."

Tang Xi nodded, indicating there was no rush.

Rong Qingze motioned to a servant to pour water for Tang Xi who had already had several drinks and now really wanted to use the restroom to relieve herself... She quickly smiled and said, "No need."

"I know you’re Tang Xi. Yanqiao doesn’t have many friends around her. I hope you can spend more time with her. As a token of gratitude, I can place an order with you for a new set of jewelry every season," Rong Qingze said.

"Mr. Rong Er, you’re too kind."

Tang Xi smiled, "I’m not friends with Miss Rong; she is a very important client of mine."

Tang Xi was also aware of the noble status of these individuals.

She herself could not climb so high.

Rong Qingze just smiled and made a decision, "I’ll have my assistant contact you."
