Su Hanze called Jiang Tian for a very simple reason: his mother had called him.
Jiang Xiuyu was extremely dissatisfied with the wife he had married, and even told him not to bring her home for holidays. If she hadn't respected her son's choice, the two of them might have gotten a divorce right after they got married.
In short, Su Hanze disappointed his family by not marrying a daughter of a prominent family, as they had hoped.
The Su family was extremely dissatisfied with Jiang Tian, to the point of wanting to avoid seeing her altogether.
Who wouldn't want their son to marry a wealthy heiress of equal social standing, creating a powerful alliance that would elevate their family's status?
Unfortunately, Su Hanze was blinded by greed. He had a close relationship with a girl in college and pursued her relentlessly. Just when she finally married into the Shen family, Jiang Xiuyu had no time to breathe a sigh of relief. Su Hanze, for some unknown reason, married a commoner girl.
Jiang Xiuyu recalled the darkness of that time and felt utterly pathetic.
She treated her son very well and with great respect, yet all she received in return was repeated hurt from him.
Jiang Xiuyu had no intention of having any contact with Jiang Tian from beginning to end.
Su Hanze knew he had disappointed his family, and he also knew that his mother harbored some negative feelings towards Jiang Tian, so he wouldn't let Jiang Tian get closer to him; she could just stay at home and be a decorative vase.
As long as her mother doesn't call her, Su Hanze won't allow her to curry favor with him in any way.
Jiang Tian is quite obedient. She has stayed at home and taken care of the children obediently for the past few years without causing any trouble.
Su Hanze's expectations of her were so high that since Jiang Tian had met them, Su Hanze wouldn't say anything he shouldn't have.
But life went on like this, and then this time, Jiang Xiuyu surprisingly took the initiative to bring up Jiang Tian on the phone.
Not only that, his mother praised Jiang Tian. Although her praise was subtle, given Jiang Xiuyu's temperament, she wouldn't have praised Jiang Tian at all if she hadn't met Jiang Xiuyu's standards.
"Jiang Tian's performance recently has surprised me. I used to think that people like her were hopeless and could not make money on their own. They were like vampires who would cling to a rich husband as soon as they found one. People like them would never stay single. They would always be parasitic and clingy. If a man got entangled with them, he would be in trouble."
“Your father and I have always let you grow up without much guidance. We've been busy with our business for too long and neglected your development. We feel very sorry about that, so we didn't make any demands on your marriage. Even though you disappointed us, we still respected your choice. To be honest, I really didn't like your wife back then.”
Su Hanze did not refute.
He had long known that his parents had been very indulgent towards him.
Sometimes, a balance needs to be struck between people in order for things to improve.
Su Hanze achieved his current success by relying on his family's resources. He cannot break away from his family, nor can he break away from everything he has.
Being able to choose one's own marriage is something that others envy.
Su Hanze never harbored any illusions about Jiang Tian.
This woman, just as his mother said, had no value and no agency. If he hadn't been so heartbroken at the time and wanted to find someone to heal his wounds, he wouldn't have chosen her, and she wouldn't have had the chance to rise to prominence.
This time, when his mother brought up Jiang Tian on her own initiative, Su Hanze was speechless with surprise.
Jiang Xiuyu continued, "This time, my opinion of her has changed. Jiang Tian has broken free from her previous mindset; she doesn't seem as bad as I imagined, which makes me very happy. You don't know, but at the banquet, there was also that daughter-in-law from the Shen family. She was like a clown, everyone was staring at her for too long. She has absolutely no emotional intelligence. I don't know how her family raised her. I stay as far away from people like that as possible..."
"Mom, did you call me just to praise Jiang Tian?"
Su Hanze, who had been silent about his mother's words, couldn't hold back when she mentioned Zhao Mingyao in a contemptuous tone.
Jiang Xiuyu couldn't help but roll her eyes.
Don't think she doesn't know that her son's unusual behavior is because of that man surnamed Zhao.
Both she and her father have good genes, so how come they ended up with a child who's obsessed with romance?
Jiang Xiuyu didn't mention Zhao Mingyao again, and continued talking about Jiang Tian: "In short, today I realized that Jiang Tian isn't as absurd as she seems. She's well-mannered and behaved gracefully at the banquet. Many people say that my daughter-in-law isn't that bad. That's the kind of evaluation I wanted. Your wife is meant to be seen by the outside world. After the family company is passed down to you, your wife might have to attend many high-society banquets. She has to be presentable."
“I’m satisfied with her performance this time. You two have children now, and I don’t want you to go around messing around with other women. Do you think other women are any better? Do you know how dirty they are? These days, many viruses are spread because people like you can’t control themselves. I hope you treat your wife well and have more children in the future.”
"Also, I'll help take care of your wife. If she can adapt to high-society interactions, I'll help guide her. I'm not that backward-thinking. You don't need to treat me like a monster. You're my only son, and I just want you to be well."
Jiang Xiuyu's words were truly earnest and meaningful.
She only has one son, who excels in every aspect except for his relationship problems. She would never beat him to death.
Jiang Tian seems nice, and they've been married for so many years, so let's give her a try first.
After responding to a few words, Su Hanze hung up the phone.
It's truly unexpected that Jiang Tian would also receive her mother's approval.
Su Hanze's feelings were somewhat complicated.
The person who had no hope suddenly gave him a pleasant surprise, while Zhao Mingyao made a fool of herself...
After thinking for a while, Su Hanze still called Jiang Tian.
He needed to know this woman's attitude, what she had done, and... Zhao Mingyao's matter.
On the other side.
Jiang Tian was really frightened.
She stared at the still-lit screen from afar, her expression showing a mixture of tension and fear.
Wei Su noticed her fear, took out his phone, and silently gestured to her that he was going to hang up for her.
Jiang Tian shook her head vigorously without hesitation.
A shadow crossed Wei Su's eyes.
At such a critical juncture, how could he possibly be in a good mood after being interrupted by someone else?
Even if the person on the other side is Su Hanze, so what?
