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

Jiang Man suddenly looked up, a hint of surprise and shyness in her eyes, and looked at Su Heng beside her. Su Heng's eyes were firm and deep, as if he could see through everything. He held her hand and walked steadily through the busy traffic. Jiang Man's heart was beating like a drum, and two red clouds appeared on her cheeks, but she didn't dare to break free easily, for fear of destroying this rare tacit understanding.

After crossing the street, Su Heng still didn't let go of Jiang Man's hand, and they walked into the restaurant naturally. Jiang Man's cheeks became even hotter, and her heart was sweet and uneasy. She wanted to pull her hand back, but she was afraid that her action would be too abrupt and cause him to misunderstand. Perhaps he just forgot to let go, or perhaps... She didn't dare to think any further.

When the waiter led them to the reserved seats, Su Heng finally let go of his hand, as if nothing had happened. He calmly picked up the water glass and took a sip.

Jiang Man's heartbeat was still pounding. She took the opportunity to look at the menu and tried to catch her breath. She handed it to Su Heng and asked politely, "Take a look. Is there anything you want to eat?" Su Heng glanced at it casually and said calmly, "It's up to you. I'm not picky about food."

However, Jiang Man knew that he was actually very picky about food, and this "casual" made her feel quite pressured. She gritted her teeth and carefully selected the dishes based on her understanding of him.

At this moment, a frivolous and familiar voice sounded in my ears: "Haha, it seems I'm not late."

Su Heng looked up and saw that it was Chen Hao. His eyebrows raised slightly and a subtle fluctuation flashed in his eyes. He didn't expect that Jiang Man really invited Chen Hao.

Jiang Man saw Chen Hao, as if she had seen a savior, and enthusiastically invited him to sit down. Chen Hao naturally sat down with Jiang Man, leaning over to look at the menu in front of her, and said to himself: "Hey, what did you order? I have to say in advance that I don't eat spicy food."

Jiang Man quickly apologized: "I'm sorry, I didn't know."

Chen Hao winked at her and said, "Although I don't eat spicy food, I like Hunan cuisine."

Jiang Man was amused by him, and her laughter was crisp and pleasant. She found that Chen Hao was indeed a playboy who was good at getting along with women. He could always grasp the right degree to make women feel comfortable and happy.

However, Su Heng, standing across from them, seemed to be ignored. He glanced at Jiang Man and Chen Hao, a subtle hint of loneliness flashing across his eyes. He noticed that Jiang Man could get along naturally and harmoniously with everyone, but there was always an insurmountable distance between him and her.

"Brother," Chen Hao suddenly turned to look at Su Heng and asked with a smile, "I heard you changed to a Maybach S600?"

Su Heng's attitude was surprisingly cold: "Yeah."

"Not bad!" Chen Hao seemed to have long been accustomed to his brother's indifference. He moved closer and said, "I've been eyeing that car for a long time, but it's a pity that the old man won't pay for it! How about... lend it to me tonight? I have a date."

Su Heng unexpectedly refused: "There is a small problem with the car. I have contacted the 4S store and someone will come to drive it away later."

Chen Hao looked a little disappointed: "Oh, okay! But, remember to tell me when the car comes back!"

Su Heng didn't respond. He picked up the water cup and brought it to his lips again, but his eyes passed through the gap of the cup's rim and cast towards Jiang Man across from him. Jiang Man was studying the menu with his head down, considering Su Heng's picky eating habits and Chen Hao's request not to eat spicy food. His face was full of confusion.

Su Heng put down his water glass and took the menu directly. He glanced at it casually for a few times, then pointed at a few dishes and said decisively, "This... and this..."

The waiter next to him quickly wrote down: "Okay, please wait a moment."

Jiang Man smiled gratefully at Su Heng. He had been a great help. Soon, after the dishes were served, they ate and chatted. Chen Hao asked casually, "Brother, why did you give up the lawsuit?"

Jiang Man paused and looked at Su Heng again. She didn't expect that he would solve the matter she just discussed today so quickly.

Su Heng still didn't look up, and said nonchalantly: "I think the lesson she learned this time is profound enough."

"For an old woman like that, she doesn't know what a lesson is!" Chen Hao shook his head in disapproval. "Brother, you're too soft-hearted!"

Jiang Man bit his lip and whispered, "I want to do this."

Chen Hao was stunned: "Huh?"

He couldn't understand this woman anymore. Kindness has its limits. She had been bullied like this, yet she still wanted to be a saint!

Su Heng looked at her silently and still said nothing.

"You've done so much for me. I really don't want you to get into more trouble because of me." Jiang Man said softly, lowering his head again. "If things get out of hand, you'll be dragged into this as well."

"Would we be afraid?" Chen Hao said with a hint of unruly smile, "Even if the Su family and Dayue are now partners, so what? Anyone who dares to bully the women of the Su family, bullying my sister-in-law, is seeking his own death!"

Feeling his protective feelings, Jiang Man felt a surge of warmth in her heart, but the more so, the more she was unwilling to let them take risks for her. Especially since the matter between her and Lu Ziyin was exposed, Su Heng would definitely be implicated!

At this moment, Jiang Man felt a surge of regret. Why hadn't she told Su Heng about this before? Was it because she didn't trust him, or because she wasn't confident in herself? She was afraid that he would look down on her...

"I know what's going on about this matter." Su Heng's words interrupted her thoughts and ended the topic.

Chen Hao shrugged and muttered softly: "Well, she is your wife anyway."

When Jiang Man heard this, she subconsciously looked at Su Heng, who happened to be looking at her too. Her face flushed again, and after a few awkward laughs, she lowered her head and kept stirring the soup in the bowl. In the end, she could only find an excuse to touch up her makeup and awkwardly got up and went to the bathroom.

Chen Hao watched this scene, put down his chopsticks, and said with a smile: "Brother, you have changed."

Su Heng picked up the napkin, wiped the corner of his mouth elegantly, and said "Oh" lightly.

"Before, apart from work, it was hard to even have a meal with you. Even if we did, it would never last more than fifteen minutes, and during that time, I would have to answer countless calls. But today..." Chen Hao raised his eyebrows, leaned forward, and smiled meaningfully. "You didn't even check your phone. There wasn't even a single call! So, I have reason to believe that either you turned it off, or you instructed in advance not to be disturbed by outsiders."

Su Heng did not deny it. Instead, he stared at him with his half-closed dark eyes, his lips slowly opening: "But, sitting opposite me, there is an outsider..."
