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

Chapter 234 Cooperation

Bai Xue was about to go back to work, and Jiang Man turned to look at him, "So, I wronged you?"

Chen Hao spread his hands and said, "I can't help it. I've always done good things without leaving my name behind. That's why everyone misunderstood me."

"Just be complacent." Seeing his expression, Jiang Man shook his head in amusement, "You've caused Yang Chen to worry so much about you. You really should reflect on yourself."

Chen Hao shrugged, "This is my unique style."

Jiang Man sat down next to Chen Hao and asked, "Why are you so interested in this little girl all of a sudden? Could it be that you are right?"

Chen Hao knew what she was going to ask and gently shook the wine glass in his hand. "Is this how you think when I do good things?"

The atmosphere suddenly became subtle. Jiang Man was speechless for a moment. He thought that since nothing happened, he should just go back early, so he said, "It's better to drink less."

Chen Hao propped his chin up with one hand, looking at Jiang Man with a rare fiery warmth in his eyes. He said slowly, "Are you concerned about me?"

Jiang Man nodded, "Of course."

"Why?" he demanded.

"Because you are Ah Heng's younger brother."

She answered as a matter of course. The sparks in Chen Hao's eyes flickered and went out in an instant, as if shrouded in a layer of mist. He filled another glass of wine and drank it all in one gulp.

Jiang Man understood that no matter whether Chen Hao was interested in her or not, it would be better for him to give up the idea as soon as possible.

Went to the restroom and came back.

Chen Hao was dancing closely with a sexy woman, and he didn't even notice that this woman was the eldest daughter of the Zheng family, Zheng Rui.

Bai Xue stood aside, her eyes fixed on the two people in the middle of the dance floor. She lowered her head and tugged at her uniform. The feeling of inferiority always followed her like a shadow.

Noticing her expression, Jiang Man walked over to her and asked, "How is Yingying doing recently?"

Bai Xue's eyes softened and she said, "She's fine."

"If you have time, bring her to my house to play. Xuanxuan will definitely be very happy."

Bai Xue was a little surprised, "Really?"

"Of course it's true. After all, she is my daughter-in-law." Jiang Man joked.

She asked cautiously, "But will President Su agree to this?"

Jiang Man winked at her and said, "Don't worry, I usually have the final say on important matters at home."

In the middle of the dance floor, Zheng Rui snuggled in Chen Hao's arms, her arms around his neck, her eyes charming, "Do you want to make a deal with me?"

He seemed a little distracted. "What deal?"

"The power of the Zheng family has not yet fallen into my hands. I need external support." She smiled and whispered in his ear, "I think you are the same."

"Then you guessed wrong." Chen Hao glanced at her sideways, "Unlike you, I'm not interested in these things."

"What about her?" Zheng Rui's gaze went straight to Jiang Man.

As if someone had touched his bottom line, Chen Hao's hands unconsciously tightened, holding her waist tightly, and warned her word by word: "Don't meddle in other people's business!"

Zheng Rui felt the temperature around her drop by several degrees. She chuckled softly. The bigger his reaction, the more it proved that she was sure of victory.

She said slowly, "If I were you, no matter whose woman she was, I would definitely snatch her away as long as I liked her."

He sneered, "Like you did to your brother?"

"Yes." She raised her head, her eyes narrowed slowly, gleaming with a glass-like brilliance, revealing her desire bit by bit, "I like him, so I must get him!"

After staring at her for a long time, he lowered his eyes and asked, "What if I can't get it?"

"There are no ifs in this world." Her voice was filled with undeniable determination, and her body leaned gently into his warm embrace, like a soft feather. "Master Chen, you have always been extremely wise, haven't you? So, what do you think? Are you willing to work together and plan this cooperation?"

He smiled, his emotions hard to discern. "Well, I'll have to think about it."

Finally, his answer was no longer the usual refusal.

Zheng Rui raised her red lips, slowly pulled away from his embrace, and threw him a coquettish look, "Then don't make me wait too long, I don't have much patience."

Looking at her back, a sharp gleam flashed in Chen Hao's eyes.

In the darkness, a figure moved quietly and followed stealthily.

Jiang Man was about to leave when Chen Hao came to her side and said, "I'll take you there."

Since he could take the initiative to ask to leave, Jiang Man naturally wanted it very much and nodded immediately: "Okay!"

Bai Xue was stunned and asked, "Are you going to escort me back too?"

He raised an eyebrow, as if she had asked an extremely ridiculous question, "What else?"

"But, our manager."

Chen Hao summoned Yang Chen, who immediately patted his chest and assured, “No problem, I’ll take care of everything!”

When Jiang Man and his group walked out of the bar, they unexpectedly caught a glimpse of Zheng Rui.

Zheng Xuan's jaw was clenched as he stared at Zheng Rui fiercely, his eyes blazing with anger, as if they were going to burn his eye sockets red.

"Zheng Rui, are you so shameless?" he scolded angrily.

Hearing this, Zheng Rui burst into laughter. "Zheng Xuan, have you forgotten how you slandered my mother? You said she was just a prostitute and that I was born to inherit her profession. You said it yourself."

"Pa!" With a crisp sound, he slapped her hard in the face.

She raised her hand and gently stroked her cheek, a beautiful smile on her lips. Suddenly, she reached out and grabbed Zheng Xuan's collar, her smile becoming more ambiguous. "Do you care about me a little bit now?"

Zheng Xuan's pupils shrank slightly, and he suddenly pushed her away, closing his eyes tightly. His face was filled with anger. "You take yourself too seriously. Don't you even look at whose blood is flowing in your body?" His words were cruel, not caring about her pale face at all. "I just don't want you to bring shame to the Zheng family!"

Zheng Rui sneered, "Whose blood am I shedding?" She seemed to be mocking herself, but also seemed to be asking and answering herself, "Zheng Xuan, we are equally dirty."

Zheng Xuan stared at her, the anger in his eyes gradually extinguished, replaced by a cold, deathly gray. "Yes, we are equally dirty, so no one can escape."

Zheng Rui's smile remained unchanged. "Of course I won't run away. And I won't ever run away."

A trace of trance flashed across his eyes, he narrowed his eyes, turned and left.

Zheng Rui leaned against the wall, her breathing sometimes heavy and sometimes light. The tears she had been holding back for a long time slowly slid down from the corners of her eyes.

Jiang Man was so shocked by this scene that he stood there in shock. Just as he was about to step forward, he found someone pulling him from behind.

She turned around and saw Chen Hao, who said, "Don't interfere."

She followed Chen Hao into the car in silence all the way. Only when they were inside did Chen Hao say calmly, "Just pretend you didn't see anything and forget about it."

Jiang Man turned his head and looked out the car window. Zheng Rui was still standing there, looking dazed.

After sending Jiang Man home, Chen Hao turned to send Bai Xue home.
