The two chatted enthusiastically, and Lu Jie didn't notice Jiang Man. Jiang Man stood up awkwardly and greeted: "Xiao Jie..."
Lu Jie turned around and asked in surprise: "Sister Jiang Man! When did you come back?"
Jiang Man explained: "I just came back a few days ago."
Lu Jie took Jiang Man's wrist and said, "You are even more beautiful now!"
"You too." The two chatted for a few words, and Jiang Man said, "I have something to do today, so I'll take my leave first."
Lu Jie was reluctant to leave, so she pulled Jiang Man outside to talk.
Jiang Man took the bag and bowed to Su Zeqi: "I wish you a speedy recovery."
Su Zeqi watched her back until she disappeared behind the door.
In the corridor, Lu Jie said kindly, "Sister Jiang Man, it's great that you're back. Otherwise, I'm worried that my brother will end up alone."
Jiang Man was helpless, and Lu Jie asked anxiously: "Did my elder brother come to see you? Did you two make up?"
Jiang Man smiled, not knowing how to answer.
At the Su family's old house, Chen Mei hadn't returned for a long time. She quickly entered the villa, used the master key to unlock Su Zeqi's study, and then opened the safe. Her ID card, official seal, and property certificate were all there. Breathing rapidly, she removed her sunglasses and, with trembling hands, stuffed the documents into her bag. She left the house in less than fifteen minutes.
She then took a taxi to the second floor of a secluded law firm. A lawyer was already waiting. She pulled out her ID and asked, "Here are the documents my husband asked me to bring. Mr. Lawyer, I'd like to check whether my husband has a will. Is this sufficient?"
The lawyer went in with Su Zeqi's ID and came out fifteen minutes later, returning the ID to her: "Mrs. Su, your husband did not establish a record of his will through a lawyer."
Chen Mei breathed a sigh of relief and took out a document and handed it to the lawyer: "Then can you use his ID card and seal to make a will?" The document stated that after Su Zeqi's death, the Su Group, the Su family's old house and more than a dozen other properties and deposits were left to Chen Hao.
The lawyer looked at this obviously unfair will and hesitated: "This..."
Chen Mei hurriedly said, "Don't worry about the cost. As long as it's done, I can afford any amount."
The lawyer said helplessly: "This is difficult. I will try my best. If I fail..."
Chen Mei's eyes were bloodshot and her hands were pressed on the coffee table: "No, you are so famous, you can definitely help me!" The lawyer had to agree temporarily.
Jiang Man got off work early, bought some toys and went back to her parents' house. Xuan Xuan heard the sound of high heels and threw himself into Jiang Man's arms: "Mom! Xuan Xuan missed you so much!"
Jiang Man squatted down and hugged her son, leaving a lipstick mark on his face: "Mom misses you too!" She handed the gift to Xuanxuan, who screamed in surprise.
Pei Fei came out of the kitchen carrying dishes: "Xuanxuan, stop pestering Mommy, wash your hands and start eating." She glanced at Jiang Man complainingly, "You too, if you had taken out the toys earlier, how could he have eaten properly?"
Jiang Man and Xuan Xuan looked at each other, stuck out their tongues, and ran to wash their hands. At the table, Jiang Man ate steamed fish and exclaimed, "Mom's cooking is still the best!"
Pei Fei laughed and scolded: "If you think it's delicious, why don't you come back to eat it every day? It won't be tiring to cook for one more person."
Jiang Man pursed her lips and smiled softly, then thought of Su Zeqi's appearance in the hospital yesterday and sighed. Pei Fei put down her chopsticks: "What's wrong with you?"
Jiang Man told her about Su Zeqi's situation. Pei Fei was surprised: "How could this happen..."
Jiang Man shrugged: "There's not many people around him anymore, and Madam Qin doesn't even go to see him. It's really pitiful."
Pei Fei was silent. Father Jiang served her some soup: "Have some soup." Father Jiang winked at Jiang Man, who picked up Xuanxuan: "Xuanxuan, be good. Mommy will take you upstairs to play with the toys."
Only Pei Fei and Jiang's father were left at the table. Pei Fei looked up at him with an apologetic look on her face: "Haotian, I..."
Father Jiang interrupted her: "I know what you are thinking. If you want to go see him, go ahead."
Pei Fei pondered for a while: "But I feel sorry for you."
Father Jiang sighed and said, "It's been so many years. Don't worry about it. We are both old now. You can go now."
The next morning, Su Heng arrived at the hospital and saw Pei Fei at the door of Su Zeqi's ward. He frowned slightly and stepped behind the door. Pei Fei, wearing a plain suit and holding azalea, looked hesitant and waited a long time before knocking.
Su Zeqi's weak voice came: "Come in." The door opened, and he saw Pei Fei, his eyes widened, and he sat up: "Why is it you..."
Pei Fei looked at his old face, feeling sad. She placed the flowers on the bedside and said, "I came to see you."
Su Zeqi looked sad and laughed at himself: "I didn't expect that after getting sick, I would be able to see someone I haven't seen for a long time."
Su Heng stood outside the door, only able to hear faint whispers. Half an hour later, Pei Fei came out, dabbed her eyes with a tissue at the corner of the corridor, sighed softly, and left. Su Heng watched her leave before entering the ward.
Su Zeqi leaned on the bed, staring out the window absentmindedly, and didn't notice Su Heng coming in. Su Heng sat quietly at the table. After more than ten minutes, Su Zeqi said, "Jiang Man came to see me a while ago."
Su Heng raised his eyebrows in surprise but said nothing.
Su Zeqi sighed: "She is a good girl, you have to hold on to her. Some good women, if you miss them, it will be hard to see them again."
Su Heng was silent for a long time, his eyes became firm: "Dad, I know."
Chen Hao received an unfamiliar call in his office: "Excuse me, is this Mr. Chen Hao?"
Chen Hao was stunned: "I am."
"Did you receive a transfer of eight million recently?"
Chen Hao asked doubtfully, "I didn't." He quickly hung up the phone, and then Chen Mei called, "Mom, what's wrong?"
Chen Mei said anxiously, "I'm downstairs at your company, please come down quickly." Without waiting for Chen Hao to ask more questions, she hung up the phone.
Chen Hao went downstairs and saw Chen Mei standing in the corner, wearing a black dress and a veil covering her face. "Mom, what's wrong with you?"
Chen Mei grabbed his arm: "Chen Hao, you must do your mother a favor!"
"What's the deal?"
Chen Mei gritted her teeth and said, "Mom has some money that she wants to transfer to you. If anyone asks, just say it's yours."
Chen Hao thought of the phone call: "You said eight million? Mom, where did you get so much money?"
Chen Mei's eyes dodged: "Don't worry about it, it's all your money in the end..."
Chen Hao's eyes were fierce: "No! You must tell me!"
Chen Mei's eyes were blurred with tears: "This money belongs to your father."
"Are you secretly transferring Dad's property? Mom, are you confused?"
"If I weren't here, you wouldn't get a penny after Su Zeqi dies!"
Chen Hao shouted, "Mom, calm down! It's not too late to correct your mistakes now, otherwise you'll go to jail!"
Chen Mei slapped his hand away: "You useless thing! Have you been willing to be stepped on by them for so many years? You are afraid of going to jail, but I am not!" After that, she left without looking back.
Su Heng sat at his desk, exhausted. The night before, Su Zeqi had fainted and had to be resuscitated. He had stayed with him in the hospital until the early hours of the morning before returning to work.
