Jiang Tian, a renowned渣女 (scorned woman/player) in her lifetime with countless boyfriends, was recruited by the Main God after her death to become an invincible host for the Female Lead group.<...
All eyes were fixed on the man who had suddenly appeared. They had been collectively attacking Jiang Tian, waiting for her to give a convincing explanation, but no one had expected that Jiang Tian's silence would not only intensify their attack but also bring her "Prince Charming."
Who exactly is this man?
Jiang Tian looked at the person next to her, and Su Hanze was also staring at her—how could he not stand up?
Zhao Mingyao was there. If he backed down, would Wei Su have to step in?
Su Hanze knew the relationship between Wei Su and Jiang Tian better than anyone else.
At this critical juncture, only he can speak out as a member of Jiang Tian's family; no one else is appropriate.
Jiang Tian didn't speak, but Su Hanze keenly caught the signal she was trying to convey. He suddenly turned and stared at the person spreading the rumors, coldly questioning, "Who are you? Why are you saying such things to my wife?"
The person most dissatisfied with Su Hanze's appearance was Zhao Mingyao.
She simply couldn't understand how Su Hanze, with his principles, could unconditionally protect his wife after she cheated on him—could it be that Jiang Tian had bewitched him?
But Jiang Tian was not a remarkable person to begin with, let alone someone who would drug people—this contradictory understanding made Zhao Mingyao even more confused.
But she was still perceptive enough to know that she shouldn't say too much, since she couldn't reveal the truth about Jiang Tian's affair and upset everyone.
The person who spread rumors about Jiang Tian never expected that someone would suddenly appear out of nowhere—someone would actually stand up for Jiang Tian, and this man's aura clearly indicated that he was either rich or noble, as if he came from a different world from them.
This person, however, was very affectionate towards Jiang Tian, clearly indicating a close relationship.
The male classmate was immediately embarrassed. The more he cared about his image, the more he wanted to maintain the situation. So he forced himself to speak: "And who are you? I was just talking to an old classmate. What right do you have to interfere? Are you Jiang Tian's lover?"
He completely ruled out the possibility that Jiang Tian could "marry into a wealthy family"—nowadays, with the economic development slowing down, everyone values matching social status, so who would choose a woman who has nothing and is plain-looking?
"Who am I?" Su Hanze curled his lips and glanced at everyone. "Besides her husband, who else would protect her like this?"
As he spoke, he kept glancing at Jiang Tian, as if waiting for her to cooperate.
Jiang Tian met his gaze and was about to speak when a woman's voice suddenly came from behind her.
"son?"
Jiang Xiuyu's voice carried a hint of surprise.
Coincidentally, this hotel is unusually lively today, with several banquets being held at the same time, all because it is a high-class venue and the perfect place to put on a show.
Jiang Xiuyu and Su Hanze's father had arranged their trip in advance to attend the event.
She spotted a couple in the crowd who looked exactly like her son and daughter-in-law, and now she was certain—it was indeed them.
As a parent, Jiang Xiuyu couldn't possibly ignore her son and daughter-in-law. She turned to her husband behind her, intending to call him over, but he looked impatient: "Why waste time talking to them? We still have work to do, we don't have time to waste here, let's go quickly."
"Is work more important than your child? Can't you even tell what's important? You haven't seen your son in ages. Aside from meeting him at the company to discuss work, don't you have anything else to say to him?"
"There's nothing else to say. He's all grown up now and a father. What do I need to say to him? Lately, I've been wanting to give him a talking-to. Why is he so reckless? I don't agree with many of his decisions, but he insists on doing them and even gets the company's veterans to disagree with me. It makes me angry just thinking about it."
Hearing her husband's words, Jiang Xiuyu frowned: "You said it yourself, the child is already married. You can't keep him tied to your side forever, can you? The company will definitely be his in the future. If you don't let him gain experience now, do you want him to become a freeloader? We only have one son. I don't have time to play mind games with you. You'd better treat him better."
"A doting mother spoils her son. The reason he dares to act recklessly is because he has you as his mother. If I don't discipline him, who will help him in the future?"
Su Hanze's father harbored a great deal of resentment towards his son, so he spoke even more ruthlessly.
The elderly couple actually started arguing in public, right in front of everyone.
At this moment, Su Hanze's expression froze, and a heavy look settled in his eyes. He seemed to be in a very bad mood—more than others, he found it harder to bear his parents arguing in front of him, perhaps due to childhood trauma.
Just as the elderly couple were arguing and the atmosphere was awkward, Jiang Tian did not hesitate to step forward and softly called out, "Dad, Mom, are you two here today too?"
When their daughter-in-law came over and greeted them, the elderly couple stopped arguing.
They couldn't possibly lose face in front of their daughter-in-law.
Jiang Xiuyu nodded hurriedly: "Yes, we were originally going to a banquet, but when we passed by, we saw someone who looked like your husband from afar, so I took a few more glances. I didn't expect it to really be you and Hanze. You're here for a friend's wedding, right?"
Jiang Xiuyu knew that Su Hanze was going to attend the wedding. The wedding invitation was sent to the old house and Su Hanze was invited.
"Yes, the bride is my college classmate, and the groom is good friends with Han Ze, so we came together."
Jiang Tian spoke with a clumsy sincerity, yet it inexplicably exuded a kind of cuteness.
Compared to those shrewd people, it's obviously much more relaxing to be around her.
Seeing that her daughter-in-law was willing to talk to her and had said so much, Jiang Xiuyu's expression softened.
Since the last time, she had no complaints about this daughter-in-law. As long as her son was happy, that was enough. She only hoped that she could maintain her position as the young mistress of the Su family. Now, seeing how well she handled things, Jiang Xiuyu was even more satisfied: "You two have a good relationship, so your father and I are relieved. Our generation has gone through many ups and downs. You two are in a free-love relationship, so you will definitely have a better life together."
Why tell these things to a child?
When his wife mentioned themselves, Su Hanze's father was clearly unwilling to talk about it, and his tone was impatient.
Su Hanze's father glanced at Jiang Tian and said, "Since you have things to do, we won't bother you. You two have fun."
He didn't even glance at his son, only speaking to his daughter-in-law.
Su's father's stiff attitude made the atmosphere somewhat awkward, but no one else dared to say anything—people in high positions are used to such arrogance.
They knew the couple was no ordinary person, so they couldn't possibly hold a grudge.
When her father-in-law spoke to her, Jiang Tian remained calm and composed. She smiled politely and said, "Okay, then Mom and Dad, you can go ahead and do your work. We'll go back after we finish the banquet."
Jiang Xiuyu nodded in satisfaction, and then added, "When you have time, go back to the old house with Su Hanze. I'll cook fish for you. Hanze loves my sweet and sour fish the most, so you have to try my cooking too."
"Okay, Mom."
Jiang Tian smiled slightly.
