Chapter 345 Chen Mei's Provocation
"Chen Hao doesn't know." Jiang Man sat down opposite Chen Mei with a calm expression and asked directly, "What do you want to talk to me about?"
Chen Mei finally felt relieved. A loving smile appeared on her face. She said, "It's nothing special. I just haven't seen you for a long time. I missed you a lot, so I wanted to have some coffee and chat with you."
Jiang Man knew in his heart that things were definitely not that simple.
Sure enough, after chatting for a few minutes, Chen Mei changed the subject and said slowly, "By the way, Ah Heng came home a few days ago. It seems that his relationship with his father has eased a lot. This is a good thing, and I am very happy.
But I heard Zeqi accidentally say that he seemed to want to match the Zheng family's daughter with Ah Heng."
When Jiang Man heard the words "Zheng family's daughter", his body stiffened suddenly, and Zheng Rui's appearance instantly appeared in his mind.
Chen Mei continued, "I shouldn't have gotten involved in this, but you and I get along quite well. If this is true, then aren't you at a disadvantage?"
Jiang Man felt a chill running from the soles of his feet straight up to his heart, and his face turned slightly pale in an instant.
She hurriedly lowered her eyes, her long eyelashes like two small fans, trying to hide the panic and loss in her eyes, not wanting Chen Mei to see her loss of control.
She pretended to be calm and whispered, "Maybe it's just a joke." But her voice sounded so weak that even she found it hard to believe.
Chen Mei stared at her closely, not missing any subtle changes on her face. She chuckled softly, as if to comfort her, but also as if to make fun of herself: "Yes, yes, maybe I'm just being too suspicious."
As she spoke, she picked up her coffee, took an elegant sip, and continued slowly, "Before, Zeqi wanted to pair Miss Zheng and Chen Hao together, but my son was too stubborn and playful. After meeting her once, he said he had no feelings, so we didn't force him anymore. Unexpectedly, Zeqi brought it up again. I think it's probably true."
Jiang Man pulled the corners of his mouth, forcing out a smile that was uglier than crying, and said, "If that's the case, it's also good. Hasn't the old president always wanted a daughter-in-law from the Su family who is well-matched?"
As someone who had been through this before, Chen Mei looked concerned and asked out of feigned curiosity, "Manman, what happened between you and Ah Heng? Did you have a fight?"
Jiang Man didn't even think about it, he quickly shook his head and denied it: "No."
"Oh, that's good." Chen Mei sighed softly, as if lost in memories, and said with emotion: "Speaking of being well-matched, it's really not the case. I also come from an ordinary family, and I suffered a lot of cold stares from his grandmother back then."
She seemed to realize that she had said too much, so she waved her hand and said helplessly, "It's all in the past. I won't say anymore."
After that, Chen Mei said something else, but Jiang Man didn't hear it at all.
As she left the coffee shop, her steps felt light and shaky, as if she were still in a dream. For just a day or two, she'd been receiving the same message over and over again: she and Su Heng seemed to have reached the end of their relationship, with no chance left. The irony was that neither of them had ever faced this crisis head-on, merely playing their respective roles and trying to smooth things over.
Only after Jiang Man left did Chen Mei slowly walk out of the cafe.
There was a smug smile on her face, as if she had accomplished something great.
Just as she was about to hail a taxi, a familiar car slowly stopped in front of her.
The car window slowly lowered, and when Chen Mei saw the person inside, her smile froze instantly, and she looked shocked: "Chen Hao? Why are you here?!"
Chen Hao frowned, his face terribly gloomy, and it was obvious that he had been observing here for quite some time.
In the car, Chen Mei kept explaining: "I just want to meet Jiang Man, it's not as complicated as you think."
Chen Hao raised his head, looked coldly at his mother in the rearview mirror, and said in a low voice, "Mom, do you think I will believe you when you say this?"
Chen Mei was startled, as if she had been hit in the heart. Finally, she became a little impatient, leaned back in her chair, and said unhappily, "I'm doing this for your own good!"
Then, she slowly explained the whole story: "After Su Heng left that day, I felt something was wrong! They had never talked so calmly before, and your father had never lost his temper after he left. I started paying attention a few days later, and finally I overheard him saying on the phone that he wanted Zheng Rui and Su Heng to meet!"
At this point, Chen Mei clenched her fists and said bitterly, "I begged him for so long before he arranged that blind date for you, and now he's actually taking the initiative to arrange it for his eldest son! Do you think I can swallow this? What's more, what I'm most worried about is that the old man might really give him the company!"
Chen Hao listened quietly. He already had a vague answer in his mind about Zheng Rui's matter, but the development of the matter still surprised him a little.
After all, Su Heng has never seemed like someone who would accept a corporate marriage.
Chen Mei looked at her son and said earnestly, "Anyway, I've already told Jiang Man about this. If she's smart, she should keep an eye on Su Heng and not let this big fish get away! Also, I'm warning you, at this critical juncture, don't mess around and stay away from Jiang Man! No matter what, they are still husband and wife, and she is your sister-in-law. Don't get yourself into trouble for no reason!"
Chen Hao shrugged nonchalantly, a hint of stubbornness flashing in his eyes, and said, "So what? He doesn't cherish it, and he doesn't allow others to take the initiative?"
Upon hearing this, Chen Mei's face flushed with anger. She raised her voice and yelled, "Are you trying to piss off your mother to death? You're going to sacrifice your reputation and future just for a woman like this?!"
Knowing that his mother would nag him non-stop once she got angry, Chen Hao quickly put on an act of admitting his mistake and said with a playful smile, "Mother, you are right. I know I was wrong and I will never have such perverse thoughts again!"
Chen Mei was amused and angry by his appearance, and said helplessly, "Anyway, you have to deal with your father first!
As long as he doesn't give in, Su Heng will never succeed! Don't let him marry Zheng Rui, otherwise, it will be difficult for us to save the relationship in the future! "
"Okay, okay, you're right! I'm going to chase that girl right now. No, I should make her fall head over heels in love with me first!"
"You little bastard, you're trying to piss me off to death!"
Pu Caiwei was not surprised to receive Jiang Man's call.
His voice was calm and gentle as he asked over the phone, "Manman, have you thought it through?"
"Yes, I've thought it through clearly." Jiang Man's voice was firm and resolute.
"Remember, this is your own choice, don't regret it." Pu Caiwei reminded again.
"I won't regret it." Jiang Man bit his lip and said firmly.
"okay, I get it."
Pu Caiwei was extremely efficient and two hours later, Jiang Man appeared at the airport.
Pu Caiwei's secretary handed her the plane ticket and visa and said politely, "Mr. Pu said that Miss Su can come back at any time. Just let him know."
