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

Su Heng habitually played with the ring on his left little finger. His face was as gloomy as the sky before a storm, and his chest felt like it was being pressed by a huge rock, making him feel suffocated and uncomfortable.

The moment Jiang Man stepped out of the office door, he took off the disguise on his face.

The reason she agreed to continue her current job was because she knew Ziyin well. He had always disdained the so-called unspoken rules, and he scoffed at her even more.

It is not difficult to recognize this fact. The difficult part is how to remind yourself not to repeat the same mistakes.

At the weekly supervisors' meeting, Su Heng personally presided over the meeting, listening to reports from various departments. His dark eyes scanned the room like a hawk, finally settling on Manager Lin.

"How is the communication with President Lu going?" Su Heng's voice was low and powerful.

Manager Lin quickly responded, "This is the responsibility of Jiang Man in our department. She has smooth communication with President Lu. She will report the details to you after she returns from Huamei today."

Su Heng asked calmly, "Today?"

"Yes, the other party asked her to arrive at the company at nine o'clock." Manager Lin replied.

Su Heng didn't say anything more. After adjourning the meeting, he returned to his office with a stern face. Sitting at his desk, he looked up at the wall clock. It was almost noon, but Jiang Man hadn't returned yet!

The gloom between his brows grew even darker.

At this time, Lin Ze knocked on the door and came in. Su Heng decisively ordered: "Contact Mr. Lu from Huamei for me."

"Okay." Lin Ze acted quickly.

The call was quickly connected, and Lu Ziyin's voice came through, still so dignified and calm.

"Mr. Su, what do you want to talk to me about?" Lu Ziyin asked.

Su Heng said, "Mr. Lu, have you thought clearly about what we discussed on the phone last time?"

"Oh, you're talking about that." Lu Ziyin laughed heartily and said, "Let's follow your plan."

Su Heng was not polite: "Okay, I will come up with a plan as soon as possible."

The two chatted for a while, and Su Heng casually asked, "Is Mr. Lu satisfied with Miss Jiang's work performance?"

Previously, Lu Ziyin called Su Heng to complain about Jiang Man. As a boss, it was his job to listen to feedback.

Lu Ziyin chuckled: "Ms. Jiang's current work attitude is very positive, I am very satisfied."

Despite receiving a positive answer, Su Heng's face did not show any joy. Instead, he felt a little resentful about Lu Ziyin's "active work ethic".

After hanging up the phone, Su Heng rubbed the ring on his little finger and looked into the distance with a dazed look.

He had underestimated her. When everyone thought she was still a newcomer in the workplace, she had already quickly adapted to the realities of society and even learned to flatter...

His thick eyebrows furrowed again, and he glanced at his watch. She had been at Huamei's place for nearly three hours!

Su Heng's eyes narrowed tighter and tighter. Three hours was enough time for many unexpected things to happen. And this woman, once confused, would even help count the money after being sold!

Without hesitation, he dialed the intercom and announced in a cold voice, "The first meeting this afternoon is canceled."

Huamei Company, Administration Department.

Jiang Man, sitting in the cubicle, raised his head with difficulty from a pile of information. He had been recording complicated and tedious data for the whole morning, and his arms were almost too sore to lift.

She had mentally prepared herself countless times before coming to Huamei today. Just when she was sure she could face Ziyin calmly, she was brought here and given a thick stack of reports, saying they were closely related to the project and asked to perform data analysis!

Jiang Man had never been interested in math, but Lu Ziyin knew her inside out. She even suspected he was doing it on purpose, deliberately making her face this pile of boring numbers, torturing her to the point where she wanted to scream for help!

She couldn't help but think to herself, if only Xiao Zheng was here, it would be a piece of cake for her to deal with this kind of thing.

After finally making it to noon, Jiang Man touched his empty stomach and was wondering where to go for lunch. At this time, someone next to him whispered, "Boss Lu is here."

Jiang Man's heart trembled, his eyebrows twitched involuntarily, and he deliberately looked away.

The place where she and Ziyin often met was the campus, where there was an artificial lake with beautiful scenery. The two of them often sat by the lake, chatting about wild and imaginative things that touched each other's hearts.

Back then, Ziyin was like a young boy walking out of the bright sunshine, with a clear smile and a touch of gentleness. It's hard to compare him to the elegant, calm and reserved mature man he is today.

Lu Zinyin walked up to her, and Jiang Man's smile was a little stiff. "It must be tiring work," he asked softly.

Jiang Man lowered his eyes and replied softly, "Not bad."

Lu Ziyin glanced down at the analysis report she had just completed, and when he saw the messy strings of numbers, his brows furrowed slightly.

Jiang Man only felt his cheeks getting slightly hot.

Putting down the report, he said in a voice so low that it was almost inaudible, "You are still the same as before."

Jiang Man's heart trembled. Such a casual sentence easily made her fall into the whirlpool of memories. She couldn't tell which was the past and which was the present.

"Miss Jiang, you haven't eaten yet, right?" Lu Ziyin suddenly looked at her and said without waiting for Jiang Man's response, "There's a small restaurant nearby that serves very good dumplings."

Jiang Man didn't seem to have a chance to express his opinion until he passively followed him out of the office and into the elevator.

Entering the underground garage, Lu Ziyin was driving a silver Bentley and he was the first to get in. Staring at the car, Jiang Man felt vaguely familiar with it, but couldn't remember where he had seen it before.

At this time, Lu Ziyin greeted her, and she slowly sat down next to her.

The atmosphere in the small car suddenly became dull. Jiang Man turned his head and stared at the scenery flashing by outside the window, hoping to reach his destination quickly so that the awkwardness of being alone with him could end. Lu Ziyin didn't seem to be in a hurry, and the car was moving at a steady and leisurely speed.

Finally, Jiang Man couldn't help but ask, "Isn't it nearby? But we seem to have driven a long way away." Lu Ziyin didn't look back and replied calmly, "We've passed it."

"What?" Jiang Man quickly looked around the car, "Where are we going?"

"You'll know when you arrive."

Lu Ziyin began to slowly accelerate. Sitting beside him, Jiang Man felt a vague sense of unease. She secretly observed him. He pursed his lips, and his silent demeanor was very unfamiliar. Even sitting next to him, she couldn't guess what this man was thinking.

This is the power of time, which alienates people who were once close to each other.

"Zi..." Jiang Man almost called out his name impulsively. Lu Ziyin obviously heard it. The corners of his mouth rose slightly, and he quickly regained his composure.
