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

While Jiang Man went to the bathroom, Xiao Xuanxuan wiped her mouth, leaned close to Lu Ziyin and said mysteriously: "My mother is still single!"

Lu Ziyin was stunned.

As if afraid that he didn't understand, Xuanxuan emphasized again: "It means I don't have a boyfriend."

A smile appeared on Lu Ziyin's elegant face: "So, you want to help your mother find a boyfriend?"

Xuanxuan nodded solemnly, speaking in a tone that didn't match his actual age: "It's too hard for my mother to raise me alone, and I'm about to go to elementary school, which will cost a lot of money. I don't want her to be so tired, so I want her to be like other mothers and find a rich boyfriend so that she can have an easier time."

Listening to Xuanxuan's words, the smile on Lu Ziyin's face gradually disappeared, and his expression became a little complicated.

Seeing Jiang Man coming over, Xuanxuan quickly said, "Uncle, this is our little secret! You can't tell mom!"

Lu Ziyin seemed to have some feelings, but still nodded, "No problem."

Jiang Man saw them whispering from a distance. After sitting down, she looked at her son and asked, "Xuanxuan, did you ever mention Mom when she wasn't around?"

Xuanxuan blinked a pair of bright eyes that looked exactly like hers, and the way they twinkled made her look particularly innocent. "Does it count if you say Mom is beautiful?"

Jiang Man was amused by him, "Your little mouth is the sweetest!"

After Xuanxuan had his fill, he went to the amusement park to play with the other children. Jiang Man kept a close eye on him, fearing anything might happen to him. Lu Ziyin sat beside him, silently watching her for a long moment before slowly shifting his gaze to focus on Xuanxuan.

"He's a sweet kid."

Jiang Man chuckled and nodded: "He's also a little adult, always giving me orders."

“You taught me well.”

"Because we only have each other to depend on." Jiang Man said it casually, as if he thought it was the most natural thing, but to Lu Ziyin, it had a deeper meaning.

Outside the fast food restaurant, a car slowly stopped.

Inside the car, a lady looked into the store, "Where is the young master?"

The butler sitting in the passenger seat replied, "Xiao Zhang said he followed us here."

When the lady saw the two people sitting by the window, she was furious: "Sure enough, it's that vixen again! It seems I didn't teach her a lesson last time. How dare she seduce my son?!"

The butler looked inside and said softly, "But why do I feel that the young master seems quite happy..."

"shut up!"

Madam Lu interrupted harshly, glaring at Jiang Man inside, "I knew she wouldn't be honest!"

Seeing the young master stand up to pay the bill, the housekeeper quickly reminded him, "Madam, we should leave now. Don't let the young master see us."

Mrs. Lu adjusted her breathing and said coldly, "Drive."

After leaving the fast food restaurant, Xuanxuan kept chattering, "Mom, Mom, can we come again next time?"

Jiang Man answered sincerely: "That will have to wait until my mother's company pays out the bonus."

Lu Ziyin glanced at them from the corner of his eye, realizing that their lives had been quite difficult these past few years. He also recalled what Xuanxuan had quietly told him: that it had been very difficult for his mother to raise him alone...

His eyes narrowed slightly, with mixed feelings in his heart.

He should have been happy for the woman he had always resented, because she had betrayed him and left him! Yet, he couldn't be happy.

He asked casually, "I think your company's boss won't be too harsh on you."

The relationship between Jiang Man and Su Heng was an open secret. When Lu Ziyin mentioned this, his expression darkened, his gaze growing colder.

Jiang Man responded casually: "It's the same. I still have to go to work and earn money. It doesn't make any difference how he treats me." She didn't think that she should get any extra benefits based on her relationship with Su Heng.

Tired from playing, Xuanxuan fell asleep leaning on his mother's legs.

When the car arrived at the gate of the community, Lu Ziyin turned around and saw Jiang Man trying to wake up his son. He stopped him and said, "Don't wake him. I'll hold him."

After getting out of the car, he walked around to the other side and carefully picked Xuanxuan up from the car, "You lead the way in front."

Jiang Man didn't want to trouble him too much, "Just give it to me."

Lu Ziyin said nothing, holding him as she walked straight towards the residential complex. Jiang Man followed reluctantly, leading him into the elevator and pressing the floor button. The elevator rose with a roar, which Jiang Man was used to, but Lu Ziyin frowned slightly.

The elevator is seriously old and looks like it may fall at any time. I really don’t know how they live here.

The elevator door opened, Jiang Man walked out, took out her key and opened the door. Although a little embarrassed, she still asked politely, "Would you like to come in and sit down?"

Lu Ziyin didn't hesitate and walked straight in holding Xuanxuan.

The room was small, but simply and cozily decorated. Following Jiang Man's guidance, he placed Xuanxuan on the crib. Jiang Man came over, gently undressed his son, covered him with a blanket, and then kissed his forehead before leaving.

Lu Ziyin had been watching all this from the side, and it was difficult for him to connect the girl in his memory with the young mother in front of him.

Jiang Man closed the bedroom door and turned to look at Lu Ziyin. The atmosphere instantly became more awkward. She forced a smile and said, "Thank you for today."

A euphemism for kicking someone out.

Lu Ziyin pursed his lips and looked up at her. "It's really too late today, so I won't bother you anymore."

He was about to leave, and Jiang Man didn't even try to persuade him to stay, "I'll take you there." Similarly, Lu Ziyin didn't refuse.

The two walked into the elevator and the atmosphere became subtle again.

"Does Su Heng...know of Xuanxuan's existence?" Lu Ziyin suddenly looked at her.

Jiang Man shook his head and said nothing.

He stared at her. "Such an important matter, why didn't you tell him?"

Jiang Man frowned, "Why should I tell him specifically?"

Just like ordinary friends, no one would take the initiative to reveal their family details to the other if they had no common topics. At least, Jiang Man would not be so deliberate, especially since she had been raising Xuanxuan alone for so long, and she was full of vigilance and protectiveness in her bones.

Lu Ziyin stared at her, his eyes full of curiosity. He didn't understand why Jiang Man kept Xuanxuan's existence a secret from her marriage partner. This also made him doubt the relationship between the two.

The two of them walked out of the elevator, and Jiang Man accompanied him all the way to the gate of the residential complex. Lu Ziyin opened the car door and got in, looking at her again as he started the car.

Jiang Man's smile was a little stiff, and his tone became a little stiff, "Be careful on the road."

Lu Ziyin hesitated to speak, finally nodded, and drove away.

Jiang Man looked at the taillights of the car disappearing at the end of the one-way street with a complicated expression, then slowly turned around and returned to the community.

In the distance, a black Rolls-Royce was hidden in the night. The man inside the car watched the scene with cold eyes...
