Not to mention Jiang Xiangrong, even the usually smart Jiang Ying was confused.
Mr. Zeng still vividly remembered his dislike and aversion to Su Man from last time, otherwise he would not have changed people midway and chosen Jiang Yao to be Zeng Qirui's "playmate".
It's only been a few days, why did Mr. Zeng's attitude suddenly take a 180-degree turn? What exactly happened?
In the room, Su Man was the only one who was not at all surprised by Mr. Zeng's attitude.
Judging from their previous encounter, he must have wanted to make friends with Qin Runan, but he had no way to do it.
And she could actually appear in Qin Runan's house and even go in and out with Qin Runan. This was much better than those "big shots" who just said that they were very familiar with Secretary Qin and would definitely introduce him to him.
Not to mention introducing him, it would be nice to just tell him when Qin Runan is at home.
So even if Jiang Xiangrong hadn't called, Mr. Zeng would have made this trip today.
Mr. Zeng is very flexible. Last time he was stern and harsh towards Su Man, but now he is kind and gentle. "I didn't have time to talk to you more during dinner last time. Uncle Zeng wants to invite you to his house today. Are you willing?"
Such a polite invitation attracted Jiang Yao's attention.
He stayed at Zeng's house all day these days, so naturally he met Mr. Zeng.
In his impression, Mr. Zeng was always serious and always looked at him with a condescending gaze.
And on his first day at Zeng's house, he also told him the "rules" that playmates must follow, that is, no matter what Zeng Qirui did, he could not fight back, talk back, or even roll his eyes.
Mr. Zeng's stern face at that time was still vivid in his mind, forming a sharp contrast with his kind face at this moment. This made Jiang Yao feel extremely unbalanced.
Why, why does Suman deserve such treatment?
Not only Jiang Yao, but even Jiang Xiangrong was equally puzzled. He couldn't help but say, "Why is Mr. Zeng so polite? Yang Man and Jiang Yao are the same. Just arrange it as you like."
"Heh, Mr. Jiang, you're joking. Yang Man and Jiang Yao are naturally different."
In fact, what Mr. Zeng was thinking about was the relationship between Su Man and Qin Runan, but when Jiang Yao heard it, Mr. Zeng meant that he was an illegitimate child.
Suffering from injustice, Jiang Yao felt a surge of resentment towards Jiang Ying for the first time. Why couldn't his mother have married his father and then given birth to him openly? Why did he have to bear the title of illegitimate child? Was it really like Su Man said, that his existence was just an appendage of his mother's? Was he just a bargaining chip?
The living room appears harmonious, but behind the scenes everyone has their own concerns.
Facing the affable Mr. Zeng, Su Man agreed to his invitation. "Okay, since Mr. Zeng is so kind, I'll go sit down with him."
"Okay, the driver is outside, let's go."
Having achieved his goal, Mr. Zeng immediately stood up, completely ignoring Jiang Xiangrong's reaction.
"Hey, Mr. Zeng, why are you leaving right after you arrived? Let's have another cup of tea."
Jiang Xiangrong was anxious to keep Mr. Zeng. How could he just leave like that when the contract hadn't been signed yet?
Mr. Zeng had no idea that his actions had woven such a huge "daydream" for Jiang Xiangrong. He simply said, "We'll talk about it when there's a chance." Then he left.
Mr. Zeng and Su Man walked a few steps, and Mr. Zeng suddenly stopped and said, "Jiang Yao, Qi Rui is still waiting for you at home."
Jiang Yao shrank back and hid behind Jiang Ying. He had tried very hard to reduce his presence, but Mr. Zeng still noticed him.
"Hurry up and don't let Qi Rui wait anxiously."
Jiang Yao's grip on Jiang Ying's clothes tightened, and his gaze towards Jiang Ying was almost pleading.
"Mom, please..."
Jiang Yao said in a voice that only the two of them could hear that he didn't want to go.
But Jiang Ying held his hand, and firmly pried open his fingers one by one, "Go, Yaoyao, Mom will wait for you to come back."
When he pried open the last finger, Jiang Yao's hand fell down helplessly like a branch falling from a cliff.
He did not plead anymore, but followed Mr. Zeng with his head down and got into the nightmarish car.
-
Su Man was not unfamiliar with the road from Jiang's house to Zeng's house, but what was unfamiliar to her was that Mr. Zeng was accompanying her in person.
Mr. Zeng and Su Man sat in the front. Mr. Zeng brought water to Su Man and also prepared mint candy for him.
As for Jiang Yao, he huddled in the back row, watching everything silently.
Mr. Zeng's home is in Area B of Jinzhou Garden. Although it is not as exquisite as the royal gardens in Area A, it can also be considered elegant.
The style of area B is more like neo-Chinese style, but you can still see some modern designs, giving a sense of cultural collision.
Mr. Zeng’s house has an Italian style, probably because he runs a clothing brand. You can see many award-winning works of designers in his house, and the whole villa has a strong artistic atmosphere.
"You're welcome. Make yourself at home. Sit down."
Mr. Zeng pointed to the exquisitely crafted fabric sofa in front of him. The embroidery patterns on it had a relief feel and looked lifelike.
Although Yang Man had been a nanny here for a long time, Su Man had no impression that she had ever sat on the sofa in Zeng's house.
Yes, she was already exhausted from dealing with Zeng Qirui. How could she have the time to sit down on the sofa in the living room and enjoy the cup of iced coffee in front of her?
Seeing that Jiang Yao was still staring at her, Su Man smiled at him very friendly, but this action aroused Jiang Yao's hatred.
Why can she live comfortably here like a guest, while he has to accompany that little bastard and suffer torture? This is unfair!
He wanted to express his dissatisfaction, but before he could say anything, Mr. Zeng started to drive people away.
"What are you still standing here for? Didn't I tell you that Qi Rui is waiting for you?"
Mr. Zeng has managed to get to where he is today, and he has some skills. He knows that Su Man hates Jiang Yao, so he deliberately scolds Jiang Yao in front of her just to please Su Man.
Poor Jiang Yao was full of grievances, but he had to do as he was told.
...
After Jiang Yao left, only Mr. Zeng and Su Man were left in the living room, and Mr. Zeng began to inquire about Su Man's opinion.
"What a coincidence! I actually saw you at the gate of Jinzhou Garden last time. I never thought you knew Secretary Qin at such a young age. It was really surprising."
"Yes."
"Haha, did you meet at a party?"
"Guess what." Su Man answered casually.
Although Mr. Zeng was dissatisfied, he did not get angry. "It's unlikely."
He might not even be able to get into a party where Qin Runan was present, let alone a man like Jiang Xiangrong who relied on gigolos to get to the top.
But apart from the party, he really couldn't imagine how Su Man, a half-grown child, could know such a popular figure like Secretary Qin.
Seeing that Su Man didn't want to talk, President Zeng didn't force her, but instead stated the conditions, "Let me be frank, I really want to meet Secretary Qin. As long as you can help me get a meeting with Secretary Qin, I can cooperate with the Jiang family."
"Sauce?"
"Of course, I mean what I say."
"oh."
Su Man dragged out the words, "But, what does this have to do with me?"
