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

Jiang Man felt a little less nervous when he faced him, and asked curiously, "Where are you taking me?"

He didn't look back, his eyes were fixed on the car window. "Eat."

Jiang Man frowned. Based on her understanding of him, it seemed that it was not as simple as just eating, right?

The car quickly stopped in front of a restaurant. Su Heng pushed the door open and got out. Jiang Man followed closely behind him. She looked up and suddenly saw a white Continental sports car. Her expression changed slightly, and she was not sure if this was Lu Ziyin's car.

The two walked into the restaurant and were led to their seats by the restaurant manager. When Jiang Man saw the man sitting by the window, he obviously hesitated.

It turned out to be Lu Ziyin.

But she didn't understand why Su Heng brought her to see Lu Ziyin?

"Mr. Lu, I'm sorry," Su Heng said politely, turning sideways to look at Jiang Man behind him, "I had to wait for my wife to get off work, so I kept you waiting for a long time."

Jiang Man raised her head and looked at him in surprise. She was sure that Su Heng did it on purpose!

The word "Madam" sounded particularly harsh to Lu Ziyin.

He smiled back and replied gracefully, "Being late is a lady's privilege."

Under his gaze, Su Heng pulled out a chair and asked Jiang Man to sit down, then sat down next to her. Jiang Man's expression was extremely unnatural, and she couldn't even look the person opposite her in the eye.

The atmosphere was both weird and awkward. Jiang Man felt like a puppet being manipulated.

When ordering, Su Heng leaned closer to her and spoke in a lower voice, as if he was discussing something quietly: "What do you want to eat? The pan-fried prawns here are good, and the sardines and red wine braised steak are also their specialties."

Jiang Man just glanced at it quickly and responded without any interest: "You decide."

Su Heng seemed unable to hear the emotion in her words. He nodded and ordered a few dishes that suited her taste.

Lu Ziyin's gaze was so cold it made one's heart tremble. After casually ordering a steak and red wine, he turned to Jiang Man, a faint smile playing on his lips. "It's only been a few days since we last met, and Miss Jiang has already been promoted to Mrs. Su. I really don't know how to congratulate her."

Jiang Man was speechless for a moment, and even forcing a smile seemed difficult.

In front of Lu Ziyin, Jiang Man could never remain calm and composed. Because deep down in her heart, she always blamed herself for the incident and was powerless to undo the damage she had caused him.

At this moment, the cold hand on the table was gently covered by a big hand, and the warmth from the palm instantly dispelled her chill. Jiang Man was slightly startled, and looked up at him, staring at him with a pair of clear eyes without blinking.

Su Heng's expression remained unchanged, though his demeanor became more relaxed, no longer as aloof. He said calmly, "Jiang Man is a strong-willed person and doesn't want our relationship to affect her work, so only a very few people know about our marriage. If it weren't for Madam Lu's outburst, perhaps she could have lived a more peaceful life."

His meaning was clear: ultimately, the entire thing was the Lu family's fault. Lu Ziyin had no way to refute this. He looked up at Jiang Man and said, "On behalf of my mother, I apologize. I'm sorry. My mother was inconsiderate."

Jiang Man quickly shook her head: "It's okay, Madam Lu is also..." She didn't continue with the rest of the words, her eyes dimmed a little.

Lu Ziyin also fell silent.

If it weren't for that accident, perhaps the two of them would still be immersed in the fairy tale of love.

Su Heng's cold gaze swept between them, and the hand that had been holding Jiang Man suddenly tightened its grip. Jiang Man felt a pain in his hand and turned his head, giving him an accusing look. Jiang Man, on the other hand, remained expressionless, his eyes lowered, his emotions unreadable.

During the meal, Jiang Man remained silent, occasionally hearing them talking about work. Although she lowered her head, she could still feel the gaze from the opposite side, which was sharp and deep.

The guilt she felt towards Lu Ziyin had already surpassed all other emotions, so she could no longer distinguish her own feelings at the moment. Her mood was so complicated that she just wanted to escape.

The awkward meeting was finally coming to an end. When the three of them walked out of the restaurant, Lin Ze had already driven the car over. Su Heng opened the door but did not get in immediately. Instead, he turned around and looked at Jiang Man.

Jiang Man muttered to himself, he had never seen him so gentlemanly to him before, but today he was so considerate!

She took a deep breath and smiled at Lu Ziyin, "Mr. Lu, goodbye."

Lu Ziyin did not respond, but just stared at her with eyes shrouded in gloom.

After Jiang Man got in the car, Su Heng also sat next to her. The car slowly drove away under his gaze until it completely disappeared from his sight.

Lu Ziyin's handsome profile looked even more perfect under the soft light of the restaurant. His eyes, which were always looking into the distance, had lost their previous gloom and sharpness, and now seemed a little empty.

At that moment, his heart seemed to be hollowed out, leaving only endless emptiness and pale loneliness.

Jiang Man sat beside Su Heng, silent, and Su Heng had no intention of explaining. The atmosphere in the entire car became extremely depressing due to the silence of the two.

Lin Ze looked back in the rearview mirror from time to time, and saw one person with a blank expression and the other silent, without even a sign of quarrel.

The car stopped at the gate of Jiang Man's community. She pushed open the door and was about to get out when her wrist was suddenly grabbed tightly.

Jiang Man's attitude seemed a little distant. "Is there something wrong?"

Su Heng slowly turned his gaze towards her and asked in a low voice, "Are you angry?"

Jiang Man frowned and turned away, "No."

Seeing this, Lin Ze coughed lightly and said, "Mr. Su, I want to go smoke a cigarette." After that, he pushed the door and got out of the car, standing not far away.

Su Heng looked at Jiang Man and spoke slowly, "I don't ask about your past, nor will I deliberately inquire about it, but that doesn't mean I can ignore your present."

Jiang Man turned around and asked, "What do you mean?"

"What I mean is, as long as you are still Mrs. Su, you can't do anything to bring shame to me, not even the slightest bit." His indifferent tone revealed an unquestionable firmness.

After letting go of his hand, he turned his gaze to the window again, lowered the window, waved outside, and Lin Ze immediately ran over.

Jiang Man pursed his lips, got out of the car, and the car drove away.

She was in such a terrible mood tonight! He had clearly arranged this meeting, but it was as if she had done something shameful! She couldn't figure out whether Su Heng was losing his temper or just being upset.
