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

Knowing he was teasing him, Jiang Man recalled Xiao Zheng's words and smiled bitterly: "Maybe he wants me to catch him in the act."

Chen Hao was slightly stunned, then burst into a hearty laugh, almost bending over with laughter.

Jiang Man glanced sideways, with a hint of resentment in his eyes.

It's just a joke, is it necessary to laugh so uncontrollably?

Chen Hao finally managed to stop laughing and said seriously, "I'm afraid I'll disappoint you. Any man in this world is likely to betray you, except him."

Hearing him so confident, Jiang Man frowned slightly and couldn't help but retort: ​​"Why are you so sure? Isn't he a man?"

Chen Hao blinked ambiguously, "Whether he is a man or not, you should know better than anyone else."

"..."

Jiang Man's cheeks flushed, knowing that she shouldn't discuss such topics with this playboy.

Chen Hao continued, "My eldest brother is the kind of person who will never waver in his commitment once he makes up his mind. Even if he doesn't like you at all, once he marries you, he will be responsible until the end."

Looking at Jiang Man's incredulous expression, he couldn't help laughing. "Isn't it incredible? But that's just the way he is." After a pause, he added, "Perhaps it's because of his early experiences."

Jiang Man stared at him and then fell silent.

She knew Su Heng's past very well. So, he was indeed a man who would stick to his promises once he made them.

Even if he is not happy with the person who is chosen.

Chen Hao glanced at her sideways, then casually extended his arm to hold her. "I didn't say he hated you. After all, no one would marry a woman they disliked for no reason, right?"

After he said this, Jiang Man's expression became more solemn.

She knew in her heart that although no one forced her, considering Grandma Su's situation, she just showed up at the right time.

The elevator door slowly opened, and the people at the door were stunned when they saw the intimacy between the two.

Chen Hao didn't care at all. He took the silent Jiang Man in his arms as they walked out of the elevator. He said in a sophisticated tone, "You women always like to portray yourselves as the protagonists of tragedies. If a man makes the slightest mistake, you conclude that he doesn't love you anymore. Maybe it's just that their stock price fell, or the team they support lost the game." He turned his head and looked at the woman beside him. "Remember, love can be everything to a woman, but it's never everything to a man."

Jiang Man was stunned. She had never thought that such a seemingly philosophical statement would come from Chen Hao! Even picking up girls could reach such a level. It seemed that Chen Hao was not as shallow as he appeared.

"Is this something you've learned from experience?" she asked curiously.

"Whether it's an enemy or an opponent, understanding them is a must."

After saying that, he smiled, walked past Jiang Man, and greeted the beautiful woman walking towards him, "Hey, why don't I remember there is such a beautiful woman on the 28th floor?"

The other party was amused by him, "It's just that Mr. Chen has never noticed me."

Seeing Chen Hao's unscrupulous approach, Jiang Man had a little more respect for his "teaching by words and deeds".

Arriving at Su Heng's office, Jiang Man was hesitating whether to knock on the door and enter. Lin Ze happened to pass by and said, "Miss Jiang, do you want to come in?"

Before he finished speaking, the door opened gently, "Boss Su just left."

Hearing this, Jiang Man looked up suddenly, his tense expression slightly relaxed, "I'll deliver the documents."

She brought the documents into the room and just as she placed them on the table, she heard Lin Ze's voice: "Boss Su?"

Jiang Man's body stiffened slightly. When he turned around, Su Heng had already walked in, followed closely by Chloe. Lin Ze asked curiously, "Mr. Su, why are you back again?"

It was Chloe who answered him, "We just got downstairs when we received a call from Ms. Hess's assistant. Ms. Hess's flight was cancelled, but she decided to stay a few more days because she was craving the local food."

Lin Ze couldn't help but sigh, "Are all these great artists so casual and uninhibited?"

Chloe smiled and replied, "What they pursue is a philosophy of life, which is also a hotbed of inspiration."

Su Heng strolled over to his desk, his eyes caught sight of the documents on it, and he casually picked one up and flipped through it. Jiang Man, standing across from him, recalled Manager Lin's instructions and mustered up the courage to speak. "Boss Su, these are the minutes from our department's meeting. They...contain several proposals that Manager Lin believes will be of great benefit to the company, so..."

Jiang Man's words became more and more difficult as the temperature of his cheeks rose. Su Heng raised his eyes and glanced at him calmly, "So?"

Jiang Man pursed his lips and lowered his eyes, "Sorry..."

Sensing the tense atmosphere, Lin Ze swiftly and quietly withdrew. Chloe, on the other hand, seemed to be oblivious to the situation, still leisurely sitting on the sofa flipping through a magazine.

Su Heng sat upright in a leather chair, his gaze towards her slightly cold. "The company has established rules. Even if you think the suggestion is pertinent, it is not a reason to report it to a higher level."

Jiang Man stood opposite him, gritting his lips and teeth, his chest seemed to be filled with grievances, almost suffocating.

Su Heng threw the document across the table and said, "Take it back. I don't want this to happen again."

Resisting the urge to flee, Jiang Man picked up the documents, nodded stiffly to him, and turned to leave. At this moment, Su Heng stopped her.

"As a member of the Su family, you should clearly understand your role."

Jiang Man tightly gripped the document, squeezed out the word "understood" from between his teeth, pushed the door open and walked out, fearing that if he stayed for another second, tears would burst out.

Su Heng's eyes never left her until her figure disappeared.

Chloe stood up and approached him, "Heng, when did you become so harsh on your employees?"

Su Heng withdrew his gaze and remained silent.

Chloe stared at him, knowing his thoughts with a little more insight than others. "You're angry," she asserted.

Su Heng remained silent, but she continued, "Besides, it's not because of what happened today."

Su Heng frowned slightly, "Don't you think your concern has gone too far?"

Chloe smiled, "I guessed right."

Su Heng did not comment, but his face was so gloomy that it was frightening.

Chloe sat down across from him, legs elegantly crossed. "Ever since I've known you, you've been good at hiding your emotions, but now you can't distinguish between public and private..."

Su Heng's eyes flashed with a sharpness. "Since the Su Corporation has signed a contract with your studio, I will arrange for someone to follow up on the subsequent matters. You don't need to come again."

Chloe looked at him, her expression slightly hurt. "Are you going to deprive me of the only reason I can see you?"

Su Heng raised his eyebrows but said nothing.

Chloe stood up, her smile still gentle. No matter when or where, her elegance was unmatched.

"Ah Heng, we are of the same kind and we know what we want and what is most suitable for us. If you force yourself to walk with someone who has a different pace from you, not only will you be wronged, but she will also be hurt." After saying this, she picked up her handbag, looked back, turned around and left.

Su Heng fell into deep thought because of her words.

Jiang Man tried her best to hold back her tears in the bathroom, adjusted her mood, and then slowly walked out.
