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

After preparing for the whole afternoon, Jiang Man went straight to Huamei Group the next morning.

As agreed upon over the phone, Jiang Man arrived fifteen minutes early. Although it was not his first time there, his mood was very different.

"Please wait a moment." The secretary brought her a cup of fragrant coffee and smiled politely at her.

"Thank you."

Jiang Man sat on the soft sofa, checking his posture from time to time, for fear of leaving a bad impression on the other party.

At Xiao Zheng's strong recommendation, she donned a rose-red dress, a color that perfectly complemented her fair skin. The hem reached her knees, perfectly revealing her slender legs. Her long hair was untouched, simply tied back in a ponytail, revealing her full forehead and accentuating her delicate features.

Although Jiang Man is not stunningly beautiful, she has red lips and white teeth, a pair of big eyes as bright as stars, clear and transparent, and a quiet appearance that makes people feel particularly comfortable.

"Ms. Jiang, the general manager is free now." The secretary came to inform.

"Oh well."

Jiang Man quickly stood up, sorted out the documents, took a few deep breaths, and then followed the secretary to the door of the general manager's office.

The secretary knocked gently on the door, then opened it and motioned her to come in.

Jiang Man suppressed his nervousness and stepped in cautiously.

The office was neat and tidy, spacious and bright. A large green plant was placed next to the desk, obscuring the person sitting there. As Jiang Man approached, his profile gradually became clearer...

It was a young and handsome face, with neat short hair and fair skin. From the side, he had a high nose bridge, beautiful lips, and a smooth jawline. He was wearing a light blue plaid shirt and a dark blue tie of the same color. The color combination was harmonious and elegant.

He seemed unaware of her arrival and continued to concentrate on his work.

Jiang Man moved closer and closer, and was about to speak, but the moment he saw the face clearly, he was so shocked that he stood there in shock.

Her mind was blank, only her eyes were wide open, her breathing became rapid at this moment, her heartbeat also accelerated, and her whole body seemed to be frozen in place.

It's him!

It's really him!

Jiang Man never dreamed that Huamei’s new manager would be... Lu Ziyin.

her ex-husband.

Jiang Man instantly lost consciousness. The blood in her body seemed to flow backwards, constantly colliding in her heart, and then her whole heart began to suffer. Her eyes became increasingly moist, but she tried her best to restrain herself, not wanting to let tears blur all her memories when they met again five years later.

After the shock wore off, she stared at him greedily.

He recovered, completely recovered...how wonderful.

In fact, it no longer matters whether they can rekindle their relationship. What matters is that he can live well, and she will be satisfied.

At this time, the man sitting behind the desk finally took action.

He put down his pen and raised his head. His elegant face was full of indifference, but when his eyes met hers, they were calm.

Complete strangers.

"Ms. Jiang," he said calmly.

Jiang Man's heart trembled, as if he was pricked by a sharp object, causing a dull pain.

Doesn't he remember her?

Then why was she designated to be in charge of project coordination?

However, no amount of speculation could make her face him as his former lover. Since he chose to forget, she had no choice but to play along.

So, Jiang Man secretly pursed his lips and responded in what he thought was the calmest voice, "I am Jiang Man."

The man opposite nodded slightly to her, "Nice to meet you."

"Me...same."

His alienation kept hitting Jiang Man's heart.

"I have just taken over Mr. Zhao's job and am still in the handover stage, but the head office attaches great importance to cooperation with Su's, and I will personally oversee it."

His voice was still clear, coherent, and pleasant to the ear, but compared to his school days, it was more steady, with a deep, magnetic voice.

Jiang Man couldn't look him in the eye as if nothing had happened. He lowered his head and spoke in a voice as thin as a mosquito: "We at Su's also have high hopes for this cooperation... We will definitely cooperate fully."

"That's good. I've reviewed the contract and there's no problem."

Jiang Man pursed his lips tightly, "The contract..."

"I'll have my secretary give it to you later."

"...Thank you."

These two words weighed a thousand pounds on her.

Saying thank you to someone you once loved is undoubtedly a declaration that you have become strangers to each other.

Lu Ziyin's cold gaze fell on her, and his brows frowned imperceptibly at her polite and unfamiliar tone.

"The specific details of the cooperation will be arranged after both parties hold a meeting. Ms. Jiang will be responsible for coordination and communication." He stood up and extended his hand to her. "From now on, I'll leave it to Ms. Jiang."

Looking at his outstretched hand, slender and white, with distinct knuckles, she still remembered the way it sweated on the basketball court. Back then, she had been deeply fascinated by it, feeling that it was born to belong on the court.

Seeing her stunned, Lu Ziyin raised his eyebrows slightly, "Miss Jiang?"

Jiang Man came back to her senses instantly, a blush appeared on her cheeks, and she hurried forward, took a deep breath, and gently held his hand.

"I'll try my best," she said.

My eyes involuntarily fell on his hands, which were as warm as before. The moment he held my hand, I felt as if I was back in my youthful school days.

On campus and on the boulevard, you can see them walking side by side everywhere.

At that time, he said that he would always hold her hand and never let go.

Times have changed, and she was the first to let go.

Without allowing her to indulge herself for even a second, he simply shook her hand politely before releasing her hand. He then called his secretary over and brought the contract over.

He handed her the contract and said, "I hope we can have a pleasant cooperation."

Jiang Man took it and said, "Happy cooperation."

After discussing work, she knew it was time to leave, but she hesitated at the door.

Mustering her courage, she turned around and asked blankly, "Why me?"

Lu Ziyin looked up from the documents, seemingly puzzled by her question, "Huh?"

Jiang Man bit her lip and smiled bitterly, "It's okay." After a pause, she said, "Goodbye, Mr. Lu."

Even though she tried hard to control her pace and not appear too flustered, she knew that she still escaped in a mess.

The door closed, and Lu Ziyin's cold eyes finally showed a trace of emotion...

Seeing Lu Ziyin again was something Jiang Man had never expected. She returned to the company in a state of anxiety. After handing the contract to Manager Lin, she huddled at her workstation, overwhelmed by memories of five years ago.

Seeing her dejected, Xiao Zheng came over and said, "Hey, what's wrong? Did someone give you a hard time over there?"

Jiang Man just shook her head, with no desire to talk. Xiao Zheng glanced at her and said, "Okay, come to me when you want to talk."

Jiang Man was grateful for his consideration, but how could she bring up such a thing? It would probably just become a dusty fragment in her memory.
