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

Chapter 217 Reporters siege

She frowned, strode over, and hugged Xuanxuan in her arms. Her tone was calm but with unquestionable majesty: "Everyone, it is illegal to trespass into a private house. Do you want to wait for the police to ask you to leave, or leave on your own?" There was a hint of nonchalantness in her words. She patted Xuanxuan's back gently, but there was a cold light in her eyes.

The reporters looked at each other in bewilderment. They had thought they could easily control this seemingly weak woman, but they had not expected her to be a rose covered in thorns.

"Ms. Jiang, we just want to interview you."

"I'm not in a position to answer any questions, and I have the right to remain silent. Now please leave immediately." She looked at the tear marks on Xuanxuan's face, feeling so distressed that she quickly wiped his little face with a tissue.

"Miss Jiang, please cooperate."

"Why should I cooperate with you?"

"The public needs the truth."

"Okay, the public needs the truth, but that doesn't mean I have to provide it to you. If you don't leave now, I'm really going to call the police." She frowned and picked up her phone as if to call the police.

Seeing how determined she was, the reporters decided not to bother her any further, but their pens were already itching to report everything with exaggerated details.

As soon as they left, Jiang Man finally breathed a sigh of relief. Looking at Xuanxuan who had instantly calmed down, he gently pinched his little face and said, "You clever little ghost, you lied to me, didn't you?"

Xuanxuan pouted: "I don't have any."

"Then why aren't you crying?"

"They're leaving now." He smacked his lips. "They're so fierce! If they don't leave now, I'll be late."

"So that's how you tease your mother?"

"I'm not teasing Mom. I just want to make her stronger." After saying that, he kissed Jiang Man.

Seeing that Xuanxuan was not affected by the disturbance, Jiang Man felt relieved. He touched his head and got up to clean up.

However, she didn't know that there was another storm waiting for her in the company.

After sending Xuanxuan to kindergarten, Jiang Manru returned to the company as usual.

As soon as she arrived at the company gate, she found that it was surrounded by reporters.

It turned out to be the reporters from this morning. As soon as they saw Jiang Man appear, they swarmed over with magazines in their hands.

"Ms. Jiang, please explain, is the person in the magazine you?"

"Ms. Jiang, what is your relationship with Mr. Chen?"

"Ms. Jiang, is that little boy this morning your illegitimate child with Mr. Chen?"

"Ms. Jiang, Miss Jiang, please answer the question."

Jiang Man covered her ears, her heart in confusion. Why were all the accusations directed at her so early in the morning?

"No, no, none of them!" She explained anxiously, and after a shove, she finally squeezed out of the crowd with difficulty.

She rubbed her eyebrows irritably. How could she and Chen Hao be linked together?

She went to the marketing department with a feeling of helplessness, only to find Su Zeqi standing there. When he saw her come in, he coldly announced: "You are fired now."

"Why?" Jiang Man was puzzled.

"Because this is my company, I will not allow a woman with a chaotic private life to work here." Su Zeqi spoke word by word, without caring at all that this was inside the company.

"What gives you the right to say that to me? I can sue you for defamation." Jiang Man bit his lip tightly, his eyes determined.

"Sue me?" Su Zeqi sneered and grabbed the newspaper on the table and threw it at her.

Jiang Man took the newspaper and looked at it. The picture was blurry and Chen Hao seemed to be kissing her with his head down.

She clutched the newspaper tightly and stared at the photo in a daze: "When did this happen? I don't know." She opened her mouth and made a weak defense.

Su Zeqi looked up at her, his eyes showing no disdain: "It doesn't matter whether you know it or not, you are fired now."

"You need my consent to fire her." A cold voice came from outside the door.

Everyone was shocked again, only to see Su Heng walking in with a gloomy face.

"I now own 45% of the company's shares, which is equal to yours. She was hired by me personally, and you have no right to fire her." Su Heng raised the corners of his mouth slightly, not giving Su Zeqi any face at all.

Jiang Man felt a chill coming from her side. Su Heng put his arm around her shoulders and said, "She is mine. Only I have the right to decide anything."

She looked up at him, his jaw set, and she knew he must be angry, but he still stood firmly by her side.

She pursed her lips slightly and said, "Chairman, I didn't do those things, so you can't fire me for that reason. It's unfair to deny everything I've done for the company based on some unfounded rumors."

Su Zeqi felt a pang of pain in his heart and gasped: "Good, very good!" He turned around, feeling dizzy. He took a deep breath and staggered out of the marketing department.

A tit-for-tat contest came to an end, and no one in the marketing department dared to breathe.

Su Heng glanced at Jiang Man and said, "Come out with me."

"Yeah." Jiang Man responded and followed him out.

Jiang Man followed him out the door. All around him was quiet, with only the sound of their breathing intertwined. He remained silent for a long while, and Jiang Man waited patiently by his side, not disturbing him.

"Aren't you going to give an explanation?" He finally spoke, with a barely perceptible coldness in his voice.

"Hmm?" Jiang Man blinked his bright eyes, looking confused. "What do you mean?"

He hummed softly in response.

Jiang Manxin knew that he was having a temper again, so she bit her lip, gently tugged at his sleeve, and called out softly, "Ah Heng."

She whispered, "It's unnecessary to explain something I haven't done. But if you're feeling uneasy and want to hear me explain, then I'll explain it to you."

"Chen Hao and I are just ordinary friends. Yesterday, his paintings were exhibited at an art exhibition, and he sincerely invited me to visit. I went out of courtesy."

"As for those photos, they are completely fictitious. I didn't do it, and no one can expect me to take the blame." She finished speaking slowly, looking calm, as if the incident had not affected her mood at all.

She gazed at Su Heng's back tenderly, a faint smile on her lips, "So, are you willing to believe me?"

After a long time, Su Heng still didn't say a word. She could hear him take a deep breath, then turn around and stare at her with complicated eyes.

"Jiang Man, you're sure you can get me, right?"

"Well, I'm going to eat you."

"Do you think I will trust you so easily?"

"I believe my Ah Heng is a person who can distinguish right from wrong."

Su Heng raised his eyebrows. If he didn't believe her, wouldn't he appear to be ignorant?

"Why are you so sure?"

"Is my sincerity enough?" She smiled brightly with curved eyebrows.
