Chen Hao laughed playfully and nonchalantly placed his hand on Jiang Man's shoulder, leaning forward lazily. "That's easy, isn't it? I can just pry her away from Big Brother!"
Jiang Man was stunned and looked up at him. Chen Mei's expression also changed slightly, and she scolded him in a low voice: "Chen Hao, what nonsense are you talking about! Manman is your sister-in-law, you can't make such a joke!"
Chen Hao didn't care. "Mom, why are you so nervous? If I really wanted to, how could my eldest brother marry her?"
Jiang Man's expression became a little uncomfortable. "Uh, Madam Su, Mr. Chen, our department has a dinner party. I won't disturb you two and will leave first."
Jiang Man turned around and saw someone walking towards him.
Su Heng?
Jiang Man's body stiffened slightly, he looked away, just called out "Mr. Su" in a low voice, and was about to leave.
"Wait." Su Heng ignored Chen Mei and Chen Hao across from him and walked straight towards Jiang Man. He stood in front of her, his hands naturally tucked into his trouser pockets, his dark eyes staring at her. After a long silence, he spoke: "That day, I called your cell phone, but you didn't answer."
That sounds like... complaining.
Jiang Man couldn't help but think of what he saw in his office that day. He pursed his lips and said, "I thought you were working overtime, so I left first."
Su Heng stared at her closely. "Is that all? Is there no other reason?"
This time, Jiang Man pursed his lips and shook his head.
She didn't know how to explain that scene. Rather than embarrass everyone, it was better to pretend not to know.
But in Su Heng's opinion, her silence was a disguised acquiescence, acknowledging that she had broken the appointment that night and went to meet Lu Ziyin.
Su Heng didn't say anything, just nodded at her, then walked past her to the car that had already approached, opened the door and got in.
Jiang Man caught a glimpse of this scene from the corner of his eye and sighed inwardly. He was a little confused about the reason for his occasional outbursts of anger.
Looking at the two people interacting strangely over there, Chen Mei was full of suspicion. Chen Hao leaned against the car door like an outsider and joked, "He's really a blockhead and doesn't understand romance!"
Chen Mei turned around and glanced at her son. "Let's go together."
The two of them got in the car, and after it slowly drove away, she asked, "Is there any conflict between them?"
Chen Hao's lips curled up into a playful smile, and he gently put his arm around her shoulders. "Mom, why are you still concerned about these family matters now?"
"How can caring about family members be considered trivial?"
"really?"
Chen Mei looked at her son and sighed softly, "Why don't you accept Dad's arrangement? Don't you know what a rare opportunity this is for you?"
Chen Hao yawned boredly. "Mom, you know your son has big ambitions. What's the point of being stuck in the company all day, either in meetings or on business trips? How can he have time for a relationship?"
"Nonsense!" Chen Mei scolded in a low voice, "You are also a descendant of the Su family. You have the right to inherit the company! Do you know how much effort I put into convincing your father?"
At this moment, Chen Hao turned his head, and the teasing look on his face faded a little, "Mom, don't do this again."
Chen Mei was stunned. "Chen Hao, what are you talking about? Mom is doing this for your own good!"
"Since it's for my sake, you should listen to my thoughts." Chen Hao looked out the window and said in a calm but resolute tone, "I have no interest in the company, and I won't compete with Big Brother for it, so don't bother."
"Chen Hao—" Chen Mei was really disappointed. "With your father and the board of directors' support, why should you be afraid of him? That's not a fight, it's a reasonable competition! Ah Heng has been the CEO for so long, even if it's his turn, it should be yours!"
Chen Hao turned his head and looked at his mother, a hint of surprise flashing in his eyes.
Chen Mei is a typical traditional woman, always putting her husband and son first, not competing or fighting, and living a cautious life in the Su family. In Chen Hao's eyes, although his mother often seems a little humble, it is undeniable that this is also the reason why Su Zeqi loves them so much! Gradually, Chen Hao came to accept all of this and felt very fortunate to have such a gentle mother.
But now, Chen Mei has changed. She is no longer forbearing and humble. She has started to whisper in Chen Hao's ear, and her purpose is very strong. This makes Chen Hao feel very uncomfortable.
After a long silence, he said, "Mom, you don't understand anything. Do you think Dad and the board of directors can decide Big Brother's fate? That's so naive! If Big Brother leaves Su Corporation, he will either become Su Corporation's biggest competitor or end it himself."
Chen Mei was slightly startled, but still didn't believe it. "This is the Su family's property, he wouldn't do that!"
Chen Hao lowered his eyes and chuckled, "He can."
In the moving car, Su Heng sat in the back seat, his eyes lowered, his expression as silent as ever. The aura emanating from his body caused the temperature inside the car to drop several degrees.
Lin Ze noticed that his boss was in a bad mood after talking to Jiang Man, and instinctively thought that the two had quarreled. As for the reason, he could only guess, "Boss Su, the marketing team is having a dinner tonight, and Miss Su should be rushing over."
Su Heng did not respond, his eyes still looking out the window, drowned in the neon lights.
Lin Ze had long been accustomed to his boss's silence and spoke to himself, "At the last dinner, I heard someone publicly confessed his love to Miss Su but was rejected. Haha, I didn't realize Miss Su is quite popular! Who knows, there might be other suitors today!"
Lin Ze said it unintentionally, he just wanted to ease the atmosphere in the car.
Su Heng's eyes gradually changed. He narrowed his eyes slightly, turned around, and suddenly asked, "Do you know where the dinner is?"
"I heard it's at the Japanese restaurant near the company."
Without hesitation, Su Heng said coldly, "Turn around."
The party lasted until very late, and Jiang Man was forced to drink several glasses of wine. If Xiao Zheng hadn't blocked a lot of it for her, she would probably have drunk more.
Xiao Zheng helped her out of the KTV. "Hey, are you still okay? Why don't you just stay here? My house isn't far from here. Come stay with me for the night."
Jiang Man shook his head. "It's okay. I just feel a little dizzy. I'll be fine if I go back and have a good sleep."
"Really?" Xiao Zheng was still a little worried, "I might as well just take you there."
"I'm really fine, no need, you should hurry up, they are still waiting for you."
Jiang Man didn't want to trouble Xiao Zheng, so he stopped a car and went straight home.
The taxi stopped at the entrance to the residential complex. After paying, she staggered out, shaking her head, her consciousness a little hazy. Just as she was about to enter the complex, someone called out to her. Jiang Man instinctively turned back, and the person behind her suddenly rushed forward, covered her mouth and nose, and forcibly dragged her into the pickup truck parked in front...
