It didn't matter how she was treated in the Su family, but she couldn't bear to see her son suffer! As a mother, she was incompetent, unlike Su Heng's mother, who not only had a generous dowry but also helped her husband start a company! She couldn't give Chen Hao much, and she didn't want to see him live forever in Su Heng's shadow, so she had to find a way to fight for him!

Chen Mei snuggled up to him tenderly, "We are lucky to have you to take care of us mother and son. Actually, I know that you love Chen Hao very much, but you are just not good at expressing it."

Su Zeqi's anger gradually subsided, and he also sighed: "I owe Chen Hao too much. Just because my mother doesn't like him, I have never given him anything."

Chen Mei raised her head. "I know everything. So what are you thinking now?"

"Now..." Su Zeqi frowned, glanced at Madam Su's portrait again, narrowed his eyes, and then said decisively, "Now, I want to make up for my previous neglect."

Chen Mei was so excited that tears welled up in her eyes. She looked at him with great admiration: "Zeqi, the thing I regret least in my life is marrying you. I really feel very happy."

Su Zeqi was moved and said, "Mei'er, me too. Marrying you is the most correct thing I have ever done, and it is also the happiest thing for me."

Su Zeqi can be irritable and angry with everyone, but he never gets angry with Chen Mei. This is because Chen Mei gives him a feeling of admiration that no one else can give him.

That man could resist the ardent admiration in a woman's eyes, which greatly satisfied their pride. Especially Su Zeqi, after a failed marriage, Chen Mei undoubtedly helped him regain his dignity as the head of the family.

Snuggling next to her husband, Chen Mei suppressed her inner excitement, thinking that she must tell Chen Hao the good news as soon as possible so that he could be prepared.

Su Heng and Jiang Man walked out of the mourning hall and went up the stairs. Su Heng did not go back to his room directly, but went straight to grandma's room.

After pushing the door open and entering, he naturally let go of her hand. Jiang Man suddenly realized that she had been held by him all the way...

The skin of her hand unconsciously became warm after being held by him, but before the blush could spread, Su Heng had already stuffed a trophy into her arms.

Jiang Man looked up in confusion, his eyes fixed on the trophy. He said slowly, "This is the first trophy I ever won. I gave it to my grandmother as a birthday gift. She treasures it very much and often takes it out to polish it carefully. It's obviously as bright as new, but she still polishes it over and over again."

His tone was unusually calm, and even the saddest things he spoke of seemed insignificant. But Jiang Man still caught a glimpse of nostalgia in his eyes, an emotion far more precious than tears.

Taking his eyes off the trophy, he ordered, "Wait for me downstairs. I'll be down later."

Jiang Man nodded and walked downstairs holding the trophy.

Standing in front of Su Heng's car, she carefully examined the item in her hand. It was engraved with the words "First Prize in the National Mathematics Competition." She couldn't help but gasp. What an honor it must be to win first prize? Especially since it was a national competition? Judging by the date on the trophy, Su Heng would have been only in third or fourth grade at the time!

Jiang Man suddenly felt that the trophy in his arms had gained a little more weight.

Sure enough, how could someone like him suddenly rise to prominence? He'd been incredibly intelligent since childhood, and naturally, he'd become even more treacherous and powerful as he grew up!

Alas, everything in the world has cause and effect!

At this time, Su Zeqi and Chen Mei passed by and saw Jiang Man. Su Zeqi snorted coldly and left without looking back. Jiang Man had no intention of saying goodbye to him and simply pretended not to see him.

However, Chen Mei stopped and said, "Zeqi, I left something behind and need to go get it."

She did not return to the mourning hall, but walked towards Jiang Man with a smile, "Miss Jiang."

Jiang Man had a good impression of Chen Mei and responded politely, "Auntie."

Chen Mei said gently, "Don't take what happened just now to heart. Ah Heng's father just has that kind of temper. It's not directed at you."

Jiang Man was a little surprised and said quickly: "Actually, I have no right to say anything more, I just couldn't help it, so..."

Chen Mei smiled and waved her hands: "It's okay, young people are like that. Besides, I know you have a kind heart. It's Ah Heng's blessing that you can be with him."

After she praised him like this, Jiang Man felt a little embarrassed, "Auntie, I'm not as good as you say."

Chen Mei took another step forward and gently held her hand. "Can I call you Manman?" Seeing Jiang Man nod, she continued, "Manman, I think we have a special affinity. No matter what the relationship between Ah Heng and his father is like, you must come over and chat with Auntie more often, okay?"

"Sure, Auntie. I'd also like to communicate more with you." Jiang Man agreed readily.

Watching Chen Mei's departing figure, Jiang Man couldn't help but think that being caught up in such a complex web of relationships, she must have had a difficult time. Furthermore, judging from Old Madam Su's previous attitude, it was clear that she was not happy with this daughter-in-law. It was conceivable that Chen Mei must be walking on thin ice in the Su family. Jiang Man couldn't help but feel sympathy for this woman.

After Su Heng went downstairs, he saw her standing in front of the car in a daze, not knowing what she was thinking about.

"Let's go." He got into the driver's seat. Jiang Man sat on the other side and asked while fastening his seat belt, "Where are we going?"

"Your home." He answered without hesitation, which instantly shocked Jiang Man.

He turned his head and saw that she was so frightened that her face turned pale, her eyes were wide open, and her eyebrows raised slightly, "Don't you welcome me, a person with nowhere to go?"

Jiang Man swallowed hard, trying to explain in the most tactful and non-offensive way: "It's not that I don't welcome you, it's just that my family's conditions are really very simple! I'm afraid that I will wrong Mr. Su."

He started the car and answered naturally, "It's not like I haven't slept with someone before. I know what the conditions are."

A rather ambiguous statement!

Jiang Man widened his eyes helplessly, "But, but I won't be able to sleep, I don't know if there's anyone in the house!"

Su Heng glanced at her calmly and said, "You will still have a lot to adapt to in the future."

These words were vague, and Jiang Man seemed to understand them, but none of this mattered anymore! What she cared about most now was whether he would stay at her house and not leave!

Jiang Man was worried about this question the whole way, but he remained silent, and she couldn't refuse him again and again. So, while she was struggling with whether to ask for clarification, the car had quietly stopped at the gate of her residential complex.

Jiang Man sat in the car without moving, his eyes turned around, as if he wanted to say something, but hesitated.

Su Heng turned his head and raised his eyebrows slightly, as if asking her why she didn't get out of the car.

"I..." Jiang Man secretly groaned in her heart. She didn't know whether what he said just now was true or not, so how could she dare to get off the car easily?

Su Heng said calmly: "Why don't you want to go home? Do you want to go with me and spend the night together?"
