After Divorce, Hidden Marriage Husband Became Addicted to Me-Chapter 506 - 343: _3

While discussing this topic, Tang Xi chatted with Shen Duan about Jian Rui and You Lili. Shen Duan paused before saying, "Jian Rui has gone to a small company, and it seems like the marketing and sales department. You Lili has worked in marketing for many years after all, and she has connections. Plus, since An Xun pleaded on her behalf, the company didn’t fire her directly, nor did they blacklist her. She’s now at Menglai Jewelry."

Menglai Jewelry, such a familiar name.

It wasn’t until Tang Xi returned to Longshan Villa that she realized—Menglai Jewelry was Su Kangrong’s company.

Tang Xi had been busy with custom design orders these few days, handling more than a dozen at once, which made her colleagues envy and even jealous.

Tang Xi herself remained very calm, but thinking of the substantial year-end bonus she would receive this year, she was quite motivated.

She was also very strict with her design work, personally selecting all the materials. On Friday night, she invited Fang Yuan out for dinner, along with the factory manager Meng Qin.

Meng Qin appeared to be just over thirty, looking refined with a pair of grey plastic-framed glasses and dressed in black sportswear, giving off a very fresh vibe.

His grandfather’s generation had worked with gemstone raw materials and later formed a partnership with Fu’s Jewelry, becoming one of Fu’s Jewelry’s backup factories.

"Sister Tang Xi, I was planning to invite you to dinner before, but now you’re treating me. How about this, let me pay for tonight’s meal," he said.

"If you want to treat me to a meal, there will be plenty of opportunities. Tonight, it’s on me," Tang Xi said, handing him the menu to order first.

"Alright then, how about next week? Sister Tang Xi, if you would honor me with your company for a meal, Fang Yuan can also join us."

The dinner was very pleasant, and towards the end, Meng Qin mentioned that he had recently acquired a top-quality piece of purple jade material and hoped Tang Xi could introduce it to some wealthy ladies.

Tang Xi smiled and promised to recommend it if she found suitable customers.

When leaving, Meng Qin offered to drive them, but Tang Xi declined, saying she had already hailed a ride and suggested Meng Qin take Fang Yuan home instead.

She tapped Fang Yuan’s arm, gesturing for her to send a message once she was safely home.

On Saturday morning, Tang Xi booked a flight to An City to visit Tang Jingyun.

She didn’t bring her daughter, as the two-day holiday was too brief, and she worried that the rush of going there and back might be hard on her child.

When she landed in An City in the afternoon, she knew that Tang Jingyun’s home was in a small town. As Tang Xi wasn’t very familiar with An City and hadn’t visited often, she shared a ride with a younger woman at the station.

The woman chatted with her briefly, saying she worked out of town and was coming back to visit her family for the weekend.

Tang Xi smiled and said she was also visiting elders.

The driver, who spoke with a local accent, drove steadily and fast, and with cheerfulness said that he made the run from the station to Qingxi Town more than ten times a month and could find the way with his eyes closed.

Her phone vibrated.

Her daughter had sent her a message.

With her smartwatch, her daughter had taken a few photos and sent them.

"Mommy, daddy took me to the amusement park."

"Then have fun with daddy."

"Daddy’s queuing up to buy me bubble tea, and there’re lots of yummy things. It would’ve been nice if you were here, mommy."

"Mommy will be home tomorrow. Mommy is about to visit grandma now."

"Tangtang also wants to see grandma."

"Baby, mommy will video call you when I get there."

Every now and then, Tangtang sent over a few photos of her being taken out by Fu Tingzhou.

An hour and a half later, Tang Xi arrived at Qingxi Town.

Tang Jingyun’s home was on the first floor of an old residential building.

There was a small courtyard.

When Tang Xi saw her, she was washing vegetables in the courtyard, her eyes and brows full of smiles. Seeing Tang Xi, Tang Jingyun’s smile deepened, "Xiao Xi, I thought you would arrive later, but you’re here so soon. Quick, let mother Tang have a look at you." She trembled, trying to come over and hug Tang Xi, but remembering her wet hands, she shook them, too excited to find a towel to dry them. Tang Xi had already approached and embraced her.

"Mother Tang..."

"Xiao Xi, Xiao Xi," Tang Jingyun was so excited, calling out Tang Xi’s name repeatedly.

Tang Jingyun took Tang Xi by the hand back into the house, and they sat on the sofa, chatting a lot, their emotions slowly settling down. Tang Jingyun, both crying and laughing said, "I’ve just been so excited. You haven’t eaten yet, have you? It’s the afternoon already, and I’m still preparing dinner. You just wait, mother Tang will serve you the food. I stewed a chicken last night, slowly simmering it on a low flame. You must try it."
