Humiliated by my mother-in-law, I married into a wealthy family with my son four years later

"I hope you're not." Looking at the face that suddenly approached, Jiang Man couldn't help but tremble, as if the shadow of last night was still lingering, and she instinctively resisted his touch.

He saw her trembling clearly, his fingers clenched into fists, and he stared at her with gloomy eyes for a moment, then slowly backed away. "You've never had a good alcohol tolerance," he explained again.

Jiang Man nodded blankly, looking at him with lingering fear.

Her defensive look made his look even more gloomy.

Soon, the car arrived at its destination.

Jiang Man unbuckled her seat belt and was about to get out of the car, but found the door locked. She looked at Lu Ziyin in confusion.

The latter sat still, tapping the steering wheel with his index finger, slightly closing his eyes and looking out the window.

Jiang Man followed his gaze and saw Chloe holding Su Heng's arm not far away. The two of them looked particularly well-matched standing together. Su Heng leaned sideways, his eyes vaguely looking over here, and Jiang Man instinctively wanted to lower his head.

Lu Ziyin frowned, and gently lifted her chin with his slender fingers, forcing her to raise her head.

Jiang Man was stunned and didn't understand what was going on.

Before she could react, she felt a soft touch on her lips. Her eyes widened, and she put her hands on his chest, mumbling, "Let go."

But the person in front of him was unmoved.

She gritted her teeth and bit his lips hard.

The sudden pain made him open his eyes, and Lu Ziyin let go of Jiang Man with an expressionless face.

Jiang Man covered his chest, breathing rapidly, staring at Lu Ziyin with red eyes, raised his hand, and was ready to hit him.

Lu Ziyin didn't avoid her, but just stared at her quietly.

The hand never fell. Jiang Man bit his lip and said in a hoarse voice, "Open the door."

Lu Ziyin turned a deaf ear.

Her eyes were red and bloodshot, "I said open the door!"

Lu Ziyin narrowed his eyes, "Manman." He called her name softly.

"Don't call me." She interrupted, "Mr. Lu, please open the door, I need to go to work."

"Jiang Man, your heart has changed." His tone was cold and he had no intention of opening the car door.

Jiang Man was startled and turned away. "A long time has passed. I haven't changed my mind. I just want to live a good life with Xuanxuan now. I don't have any other thoughts."

Lu Ziyin moved closer to her, "Then why don't you dare look at me?"

"Mr. Lu, are you done? I want to get off the bus." She bit her lip, still not daring to look back at him.

There was no point in continuing to argue, so Lu Ziyin unlocked the car.

As soon as the car lock was opened, Jiang Man got out without hesitation, without any reluctance.

Lu Ziyin looked at her receding figure, slowly rolled up the car window, and punched the steering wheel hard.

Jiang Man walked quickly into the company, stood at the elevator entrance, and stared at the ground.

"Are you doing this voluntarily?" a cold voice came from behind.

She turned her head blankly. Su Heng was standing behind her with a frosty face, and Chloe was standing beside him.

Chloe didn't understand why, but her intuition told her that there seemed to be an inexplicable spark between the two. She raised her eyebrows and said meaningfully, "Miss Jiang and Mr. Lu seem to know each other well?"

Jiang Man was shocked, knowing that the scene just now had fallen into their eyes, and he did not deny it, and nodded, "We are classmates."

"Classmate?" Chloe repeated these two words meaningfully.

"Yeah." Jiang Man responded softly. Just then, the elevator door opened. She walked quickly into the elevator with her eyes lowered, not daring to look at anyone.

"Tsk." Su Heng sneered. Chloe's eyes flashed, and she quickly caught the fleeting anger in his eyes.

Su Heng's sneer made Jiang Man feel very uncomfortable. She prayed in her heart that the elevator would arrive soon, but unfortunately, the opposite happened. The elevator suddenly stopped with a rumble.

Jiang Man was shocked and leaned back involuntarily, "What on earth is going on?"

Chloe was also shocked. Such a thing had never happened before. Instinctively, she held Su Heng's hand tightly.

Su Heng looked down at the hand that Chloe was holding tightly, frowned slightly, but quickly regained his composure. He looked around, his eyes lightly passing over Jiang Man who was huddled in the corner.

He calmly pressed the emergency call button in the elevator.

Soon, the maintenance worker's voice came from the intercom, "Hello, hello, can anyone in there hear me?"

"What's wrong with the elevator?" Su Heng asked directly.

"President, the elevator accidentally short-circuited. We have sent professionals to repair it urgently."

"Hurry up." He uttered two words briefly and forcefully.

"Yes, yes, it will be ready soon." The person on the other end agreed quickly.

"Heng, will we be in trouble?" Chloe looked around, and all she saw was darkness.

Su Heng looked at Chloe with a calm expression, "It'll be fine."

Chloe nodded. She had absolute trust in this man.

Jiang Man curled up in the corner and slowly squatted down. It was pitch black all around her and she could only rely on her willpower to stay calm.

She heard the sound of footsteps and looked up. Su Heng was looking down at her in silence.

She glanced at Chloe beside him, feeling a surge of inexplicable emotions.

She lowered her head, trying hard to suppress this inexplicable emotion.

The moment she lowered her head, she felt a warmth above her head. Her pupils shrank slightly, and she was a little bit unbelievable.

Su Heng looked at her coldly, but his hands did not stop moving. He gently stroked her hair, as if to soothe her emotions.

"You..." Her voice trembled slightly, and all the words were choked in her throat.

In-room monitoring

Chen Hao stared at the three people in the elevator and snapped his fingers. "Wait, don't rush to repair it..."

His fingers slid lightly across his chin, with a playful smile in his eyes, as if he was enjoying a good show.

Su Heng turned his gaze away and slowly withdrew his hand.

Chloe watched this scene, digging her nails deep into her palms, and chuckled, "Miss Jiang is so beautiful, she must have had a lot of suitors when she was in school, right?"

Jiang Man was taken aback when his name was suddenly called, and then replied, "No."

"Really?" Chloe turned her gaze to Su Heng and pretended to hold his hand affectionately. "Come to think of it, Ah Heng and I are classmates."

"Oh, is that so?" Jiang Man was obviously not very interested in this topic.

Chloe was about to say something when suddenly, the lights came on and the elevator resumed normal operation.

She was slightly distracted, and Su Heng glanced at her indifferently.

Chloe forced a smile and closed her mouth, saying nothing more.

The elevator stopped at the 28th floor and opened the door on time.

Outside the door, Chen Hao stood with a smile on his face, "Sister-in-law." He greeted.

When Chloe heard the word "sister-in-law", her face instantly turned ugly.

He walked into the elevator and stretched out his right hand to help Jiang Man up.

Jiang Man looked up at him, took a deep breath, and held his hand.

She rubbed her legs. Her feet were a little numb from squatting for too long.
