Humiliated by my mother-in-law, I married into a wealthy family with my son four years later
Chapter 81: Expressing Gratitude
The police officer was a little embarrassed. "Mr. Su, I'm sorry. Miss Jiang is the victim. We need her confession."
Su Heng looked at them expressionlessly. "I can promise that once she's calm, I'll personally take her to the police station to record her statement. Besides, she's not only my employee, she's also my wife. I hope you can understand my desire to protect her."
Jiang Man's body trembled slightly, but then his mind became even more confused.
I don't know if it's because he's such a good actor, or if he's too immersed in the role, but he can easily say "She's my wife" in front of outsiders! Maybe he means well, but she would rather not! Because...
She didn't want to get too deep into it.
The policeman sympathetically agreed to his request, and Jiang Man looked up at him as he left. At that moment, the image of Chloe hugging him suddenly appeared before his eyes.
Not wanting to be disturbed anymore, Jiang Man immediately pushed the door open and walked out.
Instead of going back to the marketing department directly, she sat in the public lounge area on the floor. After careful consideration, she took out her cell phone and dialed a number.
A voice soon came from the other end of the line, "I thought you wouldn't contact me. It seems I was wrong, and it also proves that I don't know you well enough." A light chuckle revealed his cheerful mood, and then he asked lazily, "What do you want from me?"
Jiang Man half-closed his eyes and tried to keep his voice steady. "Could you please tell Aunt Lu?"
"My mom?" Lu Ziyin's voice suddenly tensed up. She was keenly aware of something unusual and her attitude became serious. "What did my mom do again?"
I could clearly feel her taking deep breaths, as if she was tense and suppressing herself. After a long moment, she said calmly, "I think she wants to kill me."
Although he couldn't see the other person, Jiang Man could still feel a strong aura! He asked word by word, "What do you mean by that?"
"Last night, I was kidnapped by some strangers hired by Aunt Lu in an abandoned warehouse... Ziyin, you know she hates me."
Listening to her still trembling narration, Lu Ziyin's hand clenched the phone, veins bulging.
Jiang Man lowered her eyes and, for the first time, faced the past so calmly on the phone. She said quietly, "Even though I still don't understand why things turned out this way, you must believe that I never intended to hurt you, or anyone else..." After taking a deep breath, she said, "Please tell Aunt Lu that I'm no longer the Lu family's young mistress, but a mother, a single mother. For my son, no matter what I've owed, I will protect myself, no matter the cost." With that, she hung up the phone, her eyes more resolute than ever.
After last night, she realized a fact.
She is Xuanxuan's only relative in this world. For Xuanxuan, she can't let anything happen to herself! Even if she has to bear any infamy for it, she doesn't care!
Jiang Man turned around and looked up to see Chen Hao walking towards him.
He looked energetic, with a cynical smile still on his young and handsome face. He looked like a real playboy, completely different from the fierce man he was last night.
Chen Hao also saw Jiang Man. Just as he was about to show his charming smile as usual, the scene of her curled up helplessly in his arms emerged in his mind.
At that moment, the smile on his face froze.
Jiang Man slowly approached and stood before him, feeling somewhat uneasy. But she still thanked him sincerely, "Thank you so much for saving me last night."
Fortunately, he was by her side, otherwise, facing such a thrilling scene, she would not be able to handle it alone.
Looking at her, Chen Hao suddenly lowered his head and smiled, "You are my sister-in-law, of course I will help you without hesitation."
In the past, he might not have thought there was anything special about these words, but now, the word "sister-in-law" actually produced some subtle changes in Chen Hao's heart, although this change was so subtle that it was difficult to detect, and he himself did not even notice it.
Jiang Man also understood that simple gratitude seemed too weak. She said a little embarrassedly: "I don't know how to thank you. How about... I treat you to a meal, okay?"
The quality of life of noblemen like Su Heng and Chen Hao is naturally beyond the imagination of ordinary people, but this is the only way of gratitude she can think of at the moment.
Chen Hao raised his eyebrows and agreed readily: "Okay!"
There was no trace of disdain or perfunctoriness on his face. Jiang Man finally smiled and said, "Then let me arrange it."
At this time, the door of the office behind him opened, and Su Heng personally escorted two policemen out.
"Mr. Su, thank you for your cooperation."
"You're welcome."
After the two left, Su Heng looked over here. Chen Hao winked at him and waved, "Hey, big brother, is everything settled?"
Su Heng said nothing, just nodded slightly, his eyes passing over him and falling directly on Jiang Man.
The moment she looked into his eyes, Jiang Man's heartbeat accelerated, and she timidly swallowed back the invitation she was about to make.
Chen Hao had already walked over to Su Heng and said with a smile, "Jiang Man wants to treat us to a meal. I have to ask who is paying for it first."
Su Heng didn't know anything about this. He raised his eyebrows and looked at Jiang Man again. Jiang Man could only bite the bullet and say, "Of course it's me! Although my salary is not high, it's no problem to treat you to a meal."
After hearing this, Chen Hao covered his mouth with his hands and chuckled, nudging Su Heng with his elbow. "Brother, I'm really expressing my dissatisfaction with you!" After that, he came to Jiang Man and generously put his arm around her shoulders. "Hey, my brother is all yours, so what are you worried about? You can have as much as you want! So, women, you must have a long-term vision! You're doing very well now, at least you've dug up a big gold mine!"
The corners of Jiang Man's mouth twitched slightly, and her smile seemed a little stiff. The nature of her relationship with Su Heng was something only they knew; it was difficult for outsiders to understand.
Su Heng looked up at her, the indifference in his eyes was like his protective color, exuding an aura of alienation all the time.
He took a few slow steps closer and stood in front of her. His eyes swept over Chen Hao's hand on Jiang Man's shoulder, then he casually withdrew it, his voice so faint that it was almost inaudible: "I'm free tonight."
"Ah?" His sudden approach made Jiang Man feel uncomfortable, her mind was in a mess, and he said this so suddenly that she couldn't react for a long time.
Chen Hao couldn't help but laugh, and patted her head again, "My eldest brother means that I can keep your appointment tonight."
