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

"Ahhh, Madam! The Master is awake! The Master is awake!"

"Ziyin, you're finally awake!" Mother Lu suddenly opened the door and hurried to the bedside. Seeing Lu Ziyin faintly open her eyes, her first question was, "Mom, Aman..."

Mother Lu felt a mixture of emotions. When she saw her son wake up, she thought of that woman and was filled with anger. "Ziyin, wake up! I've asked her to sign the divorce agreement. She's no longer a member of the Lu family. I've asked her to leave!"

"Leave the Lu family? Why? I want to see her, A'man!" Lu Ziyin's voice trembled. She struggled to break free from the bed, but she was too weak to do so. Her legs softened and she fell heavily to the ground.

"Ziyin!" Mother Lu exclaimed, rushing forward to support him, heartbroken. "Why are you doing this? For her, have you even ignored your own health? Do you know what she did? While you were unconscious, she had an affair with someone else and gave birth to a child of unknown origin!"

Lu Ziyin's face suddenly turned pale. He tried to push his mother away, his voice hoarse: "Mom, this is impossible! You must have misunderstood!"

Mother Lu stood in front of him resolutely, her eyes red as she said excitedly, "How could I possibly frame her? If that child had no blood relationship with the Lu family, how could I let her leave so easily! Ziyin, if you insist on looking for her, I... I will jump out of this window rather than let that evil child return to the Lu family!"

Mother Lu pointed out the window and spoke resolutely.

Hearing this, Lu Ziyin's heart ached. He finally sat back down on the ground helplessly, his eyes filled with confusion and sorrow. He knew his mother's character well; once she made up her mind, there was no turning back.

Ah Man, did you really... betray me? I don't believe it! Why did you choose to leave when I needed you the most? Jiang Man, why is your heart so determined?

……

Time flies, and four years have passed in the blink of an eye.

Jiang Man walked into the night, exhausted but with a warm heart, back to the familiar and slightly old residential building.

This was the place she rented after leaving the Lu family with her children. Although the house was old and small, it was decorated by Jiang Man and was very cozy.

She looked up at the iron gate decorated with traces of time and small advertisements, and forced a gentle smile at the corner of her mouth, as if warming up for the warm moment that was about to come.

She fumbled out the slightly worn key from her handbag and was about to open the door of her home, but the door was unexpectedly pushed open gently from the inside out, as if knowing when she would return.

"Mother--"

"Mom, you're finally back!"

A clear and pleasant voice accompanied by cheerful footsteps, like the brightest sunshine on a spring day, instantly dispelled her fatigue. A small figure leaped out like a rabbit and hugged her tightly. The innocence and dependence made Jiang Man's heart melt instantly.

She pretended to be angry and gently scratched Jiang Yuxuan's nose, "Little naughty boy, didn't mom tell you not to open the door when mom is not at home? Have you forgotten?"

"But it's not someone else, Mom!" Jiang Yuxuan blinked his big eyes, full of innocence and cunning. "Besides, I knew it was Mom's footsteps the moment I heard them!"

He stood on tiptoe and placed a soft kiss on Jiang Man's cheek, as gentle and delicate as the breeze blowing across the lake. "Thank you for your hard work, Mom. I have a surprise for you. Come and try the porridge I cooked."

Jiang Yuxuan took Jiang Man's hand and led her into the house. What caught her eye was the bowl of slightly burnt white porridge on the table. Although it was not perfect, it was full of the child's love. Jiang Man's heart was filled with an indescribable mixture of bitterness and sweetness.

She picked up the spoon, scooped up a spoonful of porridge, blew it gently to cool it, and put it into her mouth. At that moment, all the bitterness and hardship seemed to be dissolved by this simple yet sincere love.

Her eyes widened, and she exaggerated her surprise. "Wow, this is simply delicious! Mom has never eaten such delicious white porridge. You are really my little angel!"

"Really? Mom, do you really like it?" Jiang Yuxuan's eyes were shining with anticipation.

Jiang Man nodded heavily, tears glistening in her eyes, but she smiled brighter than ever, "Of course it's true, Mommy never lies to me, baby. From now on, Mommy wants to eat the meals you cook every day!"

"Then I'll make it for Mom every day!"

"Make it for my mother for the rest of her life!"

Jiang Yuxuan responded excitedly, and the small room was filled with laughter, happiness and warmth.

Jiang Man gently rubbed the little guy's head, his eyes inadvertently passing over the bag of snacks in the corner of the living room, and a trace of doubt arose in his heart. "Xuanxuan, where did these snacks come from? You didn't go out today, did you?"

"Absolutely not, Mom." Jiang Yuxuan waved his hands quickly, his little face full of seriousness, "I'm a good boy. I won't sneak out."

"An uncle left it at the door. I took a peek through the crack in the door. He was so tall and handsome! But I told him his dad was home, so he put the snacks down."

"Uncle? What uncle?" Jiang Man's heart suddenly tightened, and an inexplicable emotion surged in his heart, but was then quickly suppressed by reason.

She tried to calm herself down, wondering if that figure was him. No, it couldn't be. In four years, there had been no news from him.

"Mom, what's wrong with you? Is there any problem?" Jiang Yuang noticed that something was wrong with Jiang Man and asked worriedly.

Jiang Man smiled back and hugged Xuanxuan tightly in her arms, "Mom is fine, I'm just worried about your safety. Go take a shower quickly, and Mom will tell you a bedtime story after dinner."

Xuanxuan left as he was told, but Jiang Man couldn't take her eyes off the divorce agreement. She took a deep breath and decided not to touch upon the pain of the past.

The sudden ringing of her cell phone interrupted her thoughts. "Manager?" She answered the phone, already having a premonition.

"Jiang Man, come to the private room of Shangyong 888 immediately. Mr. Su from Su Group will be here soon. If you can facilitate cooperation on the South City project, the project will be handed over to you." The manager's voice was filled with unquestionable determination.

"Chengnan Project?" Those four words were like a shot in the arm, instantly accelerating Jiang Man's heartbeat. It was the opportunity she'd always dreamed of; not only would it cover her children's tuition, but it would also create a better future for them.

"I'll be there right away. I'll prepare the contract." Jiang Man answered firmly. After hanging up the phone, she quickly used simple cosmetics to make herself look more youthful.

Before leaving, she quietly walked to Xuanxuan's bedroom, looking at his peaceful sleeping face, her heart filled with reluctance and determination. Gently closing the door, Jiang Man set out on the road to the Night Bar, silently saying to herself: For the sake of my child, I must go all out.
