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

After returning from the Civil Affairs Bureau, Jiang Manying sat quietly in the cozy living room, her hands gently supporting her chin. Her eyes involuntarily fell on the two marriage certificates placed side by side on the coffee table, her mind full of thoughts.

At this time, the doorbell rang softly, and Aunt Yang walked into the house holding Xuanxuan's little hand. Xuanxuan ran straight to Jiang Man like a happy little deer and dived into her warm arms.

"Mom! Mom! Xuanxuan drew a great picture in the art class at school today, and the teacher gave me first place!" His eyes were shining with excitement and pride.

"Really? Xuanxuan is so great, mom is proud of you!" Jiang Man hugged her son tightly in her arms, kissed his rosy cheek gently, her heart full of tenderness and comfort.

Xuanxuan's little eyes looked around curiously, and finally fell on the marriage certificate on the table. He blinked his big eyes and asked, "Mom, what is that red book?"

Jiang Man's heart tightened, and he quickly put away the marriage certificate and said with a smile: "Oh, that's a special certificate for Mom's new job. It's as important as the little red flower you got."

After putting Xuanxuan down, Jiang Man's heart surged with the promise she had made to Su Heng. She whispered to Xuanxuan, "Xuanxuan, Mommy has an urgent work to take care of tonight and may be home late. Can you go to Grandma Yang's house to play first?"

Xuanxuan nodded sensibly and said in a baby voice, "Okay, Mom, you go and do your work. Xuanxuan will stay with Grandma Yang."

Jiang Man smiled and touched Xuanxuan's head, her heart filled with emotion and reluctance. After sending Xuanxuan to Aunt Yang's house, she said apologetically, "Aunt Yang, I'm so sorry to have to trouble you again tonight."

Aunt Yang smiled kindly, waved her hand and said, "Oh, Jiang Man, don't say that. Xuanxuan is like our own grandson here. We can't be more happy!" As she spoke, she hugged Xuanxuan lovingly in her arms.

Xuanxuan also hugged Aunt Yang's neck, his little mouth as sweet as honey: "Grandma Yang, Xuanxuan likes you very much too. When I can't see you, it feels like time passes so slowly!"

This sentence made Aunt Yang burst into laughter. She kept saying, "Oh, Xuanxuan is such a caring little cotton-padded jacket. Grandma's heart is warmed by you."

Jiang Man looked at this scene, and the guilt in her heart was slightly reduced, but she still felt a little sorry. However, seeing Xuanxuan so happy at Aunt Yang's house, she gradually put her mind at ease.

……

As night fell, the clock quietly pointed to seven o'clock. Just as Jiang Man was about to start preparing dinner, the phone rang suddenly. It was Su Heng's familiar and low voice.

"Come down." These two short words carried unquestionable power.

"Oh, okay." Jiang Man responded and was about to hang up when he heard the other party add, "Remember to bring our marriage certificate."

Jiang Man was stunned for a moment, then she understood. She quickly put the marriage certificate into her handbag, picked up an exquisite basket full of fresh fruits, and tiptoed downstairs.

As soon as you step out of the building, the shiny black and imposing Rolls-Royce Phantom comes into view, like a bright pearl in the night, which is particularly eye-catching.

Jiang Man unconsciously covered his face with his hands, walked past the curious neighbors, and quickly walked towards the car.

"Why is there suddenly such a luxury car parked in this neighborhood?"

"Yeah, it looks like he's here to look for someone. I wonder which owner is so lucky."

"These days, it's really enviable to have such a rich friend."

As Jiang Man listened to these discussions, he unconsciously quickened his pace. He just wanted to get away from these sights as soon as possible and leave with Su Heng.

She has lived in this area for several years. Although the environment is a bit old, it is peaceful and harmonious. She cherishes this tranquility very much and does not want it to change because of Su Heng's intervention.

Arriving at the entrance of the residential complex, she was about to embark on her way to work when the security guard's voice sounded timely, with a hint of familiarity and curiosity: "Miss Jiang, are you going out?"

An unnatural look flashed across Jiang Man's face. She slowly turned around and forced a smile in response: "Well, yes."

The security guard's eyes flashed with gossip, and he couldn't help but point at the luxury car and exclaimed: "This car is really impressive!"

Jiang Man could only respond with an awkward yet polite smile. Without saying anything more, she quickly opened the car door and slipped in. At that moment, she seemed to be able to feel the gazes from all around her, as dense as needles, making her feel uncomfortable.

"Why, do you feel uncomfortable riding in my car?"

A cold voice suddenly rang in her ears, causing Jiang Man to shudder violently. Only then did she realize the man next to her. She quickly explained, "No, I'm just... not used to this kind of occasion."

Is she not used to riding in such a luxurious vehicle, or is she not used to traveling with such a distinguished man?

Su Heng didn't delve into it. His eyes swept over her lightly, and then he frowned slightly: "I remember reminding you to dress formally."

Jiang Man looked down at her outfit. Her beige cotton and linen dress swayed gently in the wind. Her flat canvas shoes were comfortable and simple. Her black backpack was practical and elegant. This combination seemed fine to her. She couldn't help but wonder, "Is there anything wrong with me wearing this?"

"Let's go." He ordered succinctly.

The vehicle responded and slowly drove out of their sight under the curious gaze of the crowd.

Inside the carriage, Su Heng's voice was calm and steady, without the slightest ripple: "On this day of great significance, don't you think you should dress more solemnly?"

A very significant day...

Is he referring to the marriage registration?

Jiang Man tilted his head slightly, with a hint of subtle stubbornness in his tone: "Since you think this is a special day, why do you let me face it alone?"

Obviously, this incident left a deep impression on her.

Su Heng turned his head, and his deep eyes seemed to be able to see into people's hearts, making Jiang Man's heart beat faster involuntarily.

After a moment, he sighed softly, "I never expected this to mean so much to you."

Jiang Man's cheeks flushed slightly as he quickly defended himself, "I don't think it's that important! It's just... since we're partners, you should show due sincerity!"

As soon as the words came out of his mouth, Jiang Man realized how weak his reasons were, and his cheeks became even redder.

Su Heng's lips curled up into a barely perceptible smile, his voice low and magnetic: "Oh? Really?"

These two simple words sounded like a heavy burden to Jiang Man, making her even more at a loss.

She bit her lower lip lightly and mustered up the courage to say, "Anyway, please don't misunderstand my intentions."
