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

The elevator door slowly closed.

Mother Lu was so angry that she was shaking all over, and when she left, she kept cursing Jiang Man.

In the elevator, both of them were silent. Jiang Man wanted to say thank you to him, but when her eyes met his profile, she couldn't speak. Thinking that he had witnessed her most embarrassing, awkward, and unbearable side, she wanted to escape immediately and hide somewhere where she would never have to face him again!

The elevator went straight to the 28th floor. When the door opened, Su Heng walked out first. After a few steps, he turned back and looked at her with icy eyes. "Aren't you coming out?"

Jiang Man bit her lip, walked out slowly and followed him.

Mustering her courage, she said, "Thank you for what I did just now."

Su Heng's expression remained unchanged, and he walked steadily. "Even if you are only my wife in name, you still bear Su Heng's surname. No matter what you have done, I will not allow others to treat you like this. So, you don't have to thank me."

She understood his pride, but once he said that, the entire company would know about their marriage! And with the appearance of Lu's mother, her past with Lu Ziyin would soon be exposed, leaving no room for concealment! By then, it wouldn't be a problem that she could just leave; she would definitely drag him down!

The more Jiang Man thought about it, the more she felt something was wrong. She quickly caught up with him, looking at him anxiously, "Boss Su, don't worry about my business. What you need to do now is to quickly clarify that you and I are not husband and wife!"

Su Heng didn't stop, just glanced at her calmly, and then continued walking towards the office. Jiang Man refused to give up, and regardless of the strange looks from all around, he also pushed the door open and went in.

"I don't want to implicate you, I don't want to bring shame upon you, and I don't want the company's reputation to be damaged!" Jiang Man's anxiety contrasted sharply with his indifference.

Su Heng slowly took off his suit jacket and hung it on the hanger, then turned around and sat at the desk. Only then did he raise his eyes and take in her anxious and uneasy expression.

He habitually stroked his pinky ring, and his gaze at her made her feel more stressed, and she involuntarily avoided his gaze.

"If..." she began with difficulty, "You want to know about my past, I can tell you, because you have the right to know."

Su Heng’s answer was direct: “Then I give up this right.”

Jiang Man was a little surprised, but then she thought, maybe in his eyes, her past was not worth mentioning at all. Although it was not pleasant to be looked down upon, she was relieved that she didn't have to open up the scars of the past.

Su Heng then spoke up: "I don't care about your past. I just want to know about your current relationship with Lu Ziyin."

Jiang Man's eyebrows trembled slightly. He knew Lu's mother and Lu Ziyin, so what else didn't he know?

As if he had guessed something from her expression, Su Heng said frankly, "Don't worry, I haven't investigated you. Although that would be easy for me, I have no reason or need to do so. The only people worth my trouble to investigate are business rivals of sufficient level."

In a word, she is not qualified.

"Then you..." Jiang Man wanted to ask, but hesitated. She just wanted to avoid it. She didn't want to talk about the Lu family anymore.

But the man opposite her still answered her, "Being able to sit in the position of General Manager of Dayue, it is clear that Lu Ziyin is no ordinary person. But he specifically asked you to be in charge of project communication. Isn't it strange? As for that Mrs. Lu just now, I have met her before, so I know her. She kept saying that it was for her son, and Lu Ziyin's last name is Ji. All these coincidences put together, and the answer is obvious."

Jiang Man's tightly pursed lips trembled slightly. After struggling for a while, she finally said, "Lu Ziyin and I...were once married."

Su Heng's eyes flashed slightly, but then he lowered his eyelids, quietly hiding the subtle change.

He had to admit that this result was completely beyond his expectations.

After a long while, he slowly spoke: "In other words, you and I are remarrying?"

Jiang Man looked embarrassed and lowered her head even more. Although what she said sounded quite awkward and a bit deceptive, it was indeed the truth. She could only bite the bullet and nod.

Su Heng raised his hand and gently stroked the clean lines on his chin. He raised his eyebrows, with a hint of amusement in his eyes, "So, the person I'm working with is actually your ex-husband?"

The corners of Jiang Man's mouth twitched slightly, but he finally nodded.

Su Heng rarely curled his lips, revealing a faint arc that was not quite a smile, "It seems that I have always underestimated you."

The words were tinged with sarcasm, and she could naturally hear it. She couldn't help but whisper in defense, "I registered with you to help you appease Grandma Su. No matter how many years I've been married, it shouldn't matter much, so I didn't tell you."

Jiang Man knew better than anyone that this explanation seemed so pale and powerless when things had developed to this point. Therefore, she did not dare to look at him. Her brows were already furrowed, and her heart was filled with mixed feelings, and she felt so uncomfortable that she could not describe it.

From the other side, there was slow applause.

Jiang Man looked up and met Su Heng's half-smile. Her already swollen cheeks became even redder as if blood was about to drip out.

"Yes, the reason is very sufficient." Su Heng's voice was much softer and his attitude was much better than before, but Jiang Man felt a cold chill spreading towards her.

Finally, she sat across from him helplessly and said, "Okay, I admit, this is all my fault, and you are the most innocent. But now you have to take the blame for me. I may never be able to repay what I owe you."

A sneer suddenly rang out.

Su Heng sat back in his chair, his long legs elegantly crossed. He glanced at her and once again returned to his usual indifference. "You're not hopeless yet."

Jiang Man felt even more embarrassed.

Su Heng said at this time, "Don't worry about this matter, I will take care of it."

Jiang Man looked up, "But... there will be rumors soon..."

She wasn't afraid. At worst, she could just resign and move to another place with her son. But what about him? For the president of JL to be involved in a scandal with a divorced woman would inevitably have a huge negative impact on him! Especially since Su Heng had always been scandal-free, the turmoil he would cause if it broke out was imaginable.

Su Heng glanced at her and said, "Then you tell me what to do?"

Jiang Man was stunned for a moment, then shook his head and said truthfully: "I don't know either."

He sneered, "If you knew, you would have sat in my seat long ago."

Jiang Man sighed inwardly. He always made the cruel reality sound even more difficult to accept, without considering whether she could still withstand the blow at the moment.

Su Heng opened the drawer, took out a small, inconspicuous white box, and threw it to her. Jiang Man caught it and asked, "What is this?"

He lowered his head, ready to start work, "Heal those ugly scars on your face so you don't embarrass me when you go out."

Jiang Man held the box of ointment, feeling a mixture of emotions. After he announced their relationship, her every word and action truly affected his reputation. But precisely because of this, she suddenly felt a tremendous amount of pressure.

"Thank you." Her voice sounded numb.
