She went to the wrong table on a blind date and ended up getting married to a billionaire CEO.

Su Mairou returned home that evening, her mind preoccupied.

As soon as he entered the house, he saw his 5-year-old daughter watching cartoons on her phone, his mother-in-law cooking in the kitchen, and Li Deshun lying on the sofa scrolling through videos.

Upon seeing her enter, her daughter, Duoduo, immediately threw down her phone, rushed into her arms, and cried, "Mommy, Mommy!"

The other two people didn't react at all, as if they hadn't seen anything.

An unnamed anger surged up, but ignoring it didn't matter; I was used to it anyway.

What I can't stand the most is that, in order to make things easier for them with the child, they always let her look at their phones.

Li Deshun, in particular, would come home from get off work every day and sprawl on the sofa like an old man, playing on his phone. His mother would even peel the fruit, cut it into pieces, stick toothpicks in it, and place it next to him.

They always say things like, "De Shun works so hard to support us."

Anyone who didn't know better would think he was doing some big-money business, but in reality, he only makes two thousand dollars more than Mai Rou each month.

However, Su Mailou takes care of all the housework and spends time with her daughter after get off work.

Chen Shufen does do some housework, but a daughter-in-law can't be idle.

She cooked the meal, so Mai Rou had to wash the dishes.

She puts the clothes in the washing machine, and then her daughter-in-law has to mop the floor.

Moreover, Li Deshun doesn't hand over his salary to Su Mailou either. He spends a lot of money on groceries, children's food, clothing, and other miscellaneous expenses.

At first, Su Mairou mainly paid for her purchases with a credit card, and Li Deshun would cover half of the repayments.

Later, the two argued more and more, their feelings cooled, and even that half was gone. Su Mairou was too lazy to argue with him over such trivial matters, so she just bore it herself, at least she wasn't emotionally exhausted.

It's one thing that he doesn't spend time with his daughter normally, but now that such a big thing has happened in his family, he not only doesn't go to the hospital, but he also can't take good care of his daughter at home.

That's his own daughter.

Thinking of this, Su Mairou was really furious.

In the end, she took three deep breaths to calm herself down before taking Duoduo downstairs to play.

Watching Duoduo having a great time playing with other children in the playground downstairs, Su Mailou stayed at home with mixed feelings.

The thought of divorce resurfaced. I've thought about it more than once over the years, but every time I look at my daughter, I can't bring myself to do it.

Duoduo is so cute, so small, and so easily happy. She was afraid of hurting her.

When my father left, I was 15 years old and my sister was 12.

But over the years, she knows better than anyone how difficult it has been for her mother to raise her two daughters.

She was afraid she couldn't protect Duoduo on her own. She was afraid Duoduo would be looked down upon by others.

There's nothing you can do about your own father dying in an accident. But divorce is a different matter altogether.

So, over the years, I've been disappointed in my mother-in-law and my husband.

The mother-in-law treated her son as her private property. No matter how good Su Mailou was to her, the mother-in-law always felt that her daughter-in-law was her enemy.

The man kept telling him to be considerate of his mother, saying how difficult it was for her to raise him alone, and that he should be more understanding.

At first, when she was wronged, at least she would be comforted and shown concern. Gradually, everything became taken for granted, and often her husband would not even acknowledge her grievances.

She endured the ordeal of the marriage, never daring to let her mother and sister know her situation, afraid they would worry about her.

I just want to wait until the child is older before talking about it.

But this time, Su Mairou's intuition told her that the marriage was probably doomed.

Thinking of this, and looking at her daughter's innocent smiling face, she felt a sharp pain in her chest.

Another voice in my head said, "Isn't this kind of marriage and family atmosphere harmful to the children?"

The mistake was that I was out of my mind and chose the wrong man.

Today, because of that bastard, my mother almost died.

I can't take it anymore.

Having made up her mind, Su Mairou took Duoduo home.

When I entered, I saw that the mother and son had already started eating, but no one called to call them.

Seeing the two of them enter, Chen Shufen greeted the child, "Duoduo, come and eat quickly, the food is getting cold."

Li Deshun didn't even glance at Su Mairou.

But Duoduo enthusiastically pulled her mother and said, "Mom, eat your food, it's getting cold."

Su Mairou then sat down and ate her meal in silence.

Su Mairou was unusually silent today. Her mood was low and she looked unhappy, but she didn't utter a single word of complaint or blame.

Li Deshun also sensed something was wrong. He felt inexplicably uneasy.

After falling asleep that night, he instinctively hugged his wife from behind, his hands roaming restlessly over Su Mailou's body.

Su Mairou felt a wave of nausea rising in her chest, but her body remained still.

Seeing that his wife did not resist, Li Deshun became even bolder... and soon he was on top of her.

Su Mairou hadn't been intimate with a man for a long time. It wasn't that she lacked desire.

But facing Li Deshun like this, she really felt nothing. However, she did not refuse, and even expressed some cooperation.

Anyway, it won't take more than a few minutes.

Besides, she also needs to have a backup plan, doesn't she?

After the man finished relieving himself, he felt a little relieved that his wife hadn't rejected him.

But I can't quite put my finger on it; something just feels off.

After Su Mairou got up and washed up, she lay down with her back to Li Deshun.

The couple went to sleep, each lost in their own thoughts.

Meanwhile, Su Maiqi and Lin Manlin were plotting to make a big deal out of the plagiarism incident and report it to the general manager.

The design draft passed through the design department manager's hands, and in the end, Xia Ling's draft was used.

Su Maiqi's design ultimately became a tool for her rival, Shen's, to crush Chenxing.

If it is confirmed that Su Maiqi's manuscript was indeed leaked and plagiarized by Shen's company, then this manager's position will definitely be lost.

He can't possibly admit it.

Not only will they not admit it, but if they sense danger, they will probably try to silence them.

If you take this to the general manager, you need to have plenty of evidence.

Lin Manlin used her connections to find out from the Shen family that the design draft for this new product came from a cooperating design company.

The Shen family had been working with this company for many years, and their contract was supposed to be expiring soon. The Shen family was also in contact with other design firms, intending to switch to a design company with a more distinctive style.

Unexpectedly, the design they provided became an instant hit, and the product's sales and market feedback far surpassed those of the up-and-coming Chenxing.

The Shen family immediately renewed the contract for several more years.

This product design sketch was reportedly drawn by the design company owner himself. It's a stark contrast to the previous lead designer's more conventional style.

The owner of the design company is also a designer by training, but he hasn't personally produced any designs for many years.

Lin Manlin received the design company's submission date, which was a full week later than the date Su Maiqi had sent her.

The similarity to the original manuscript reached over 80%.

As long as this evidence is presented to the general manager, the company will definitely conduct a thorough investigation.

Having fallen so far behind in the competition with the Shen family, the general manager is furious and doesn't know where to vent his anger.
