Jiang Tian took a deep breath and gestured for him to hand her the phone.
Knowing that she wouldn't be in a good mood today if she didn't answer the call, Wei Su didn't say anything and handed the phone to Jiang Tian.
"……Hello."
Jiang Tian's voice trembled slightly.
She was clearly very nervous.
It's understandable that they're nervous.
Wei Su gave her a reassuring smile and made a gesture of zipping up his mouth to indicate that he would not make a sound.
Su Hanze, on the other end of the line, had no idea that he had ruined someone else's good time. He was still a little annoyed: "Why did it take you so long to answer the phone?"
"...I was packing clothes and didn't check my phone."
Su Hanze quickly believed her answer.
Jiang Tian is not good at lying.
"Did you go to the banquet with my mom today? My mom said she really appreciated your performance today."
"Um."
Jiang Tian only answered with one word.
Su Hanze frowned: "Don't you have anything else to say? Aren't you going to tell me what happened at the banquet? Don't forget, in other people's eyes, I'm still Su Nian'an's father."
Mentioning others is useless; Su Nian'an is Jiang Tian's Achilles' heel.
"...Yes, today Madam took me to a banquet. She was very friendly to me. After we entered the banquet, I chatted with the daughters-in-law of other families for a while. They all liked An'an very much and wanted An'an to visit their homes. We talked about the child."
"Later they talked about their work, jewelry and clothing, and I just went along with their conversation, not wanting to embarrass my wife."
After saying all that, Jiang Tian stopped talking.
Su Hanze's tone was impatient: "That's not what I asked you to say. I asked you about Zhao Mingyao, how she behaved at the banquet, and whether she was bullied by others."
Jiang Tian was silent for a while before saying, "She wasn't very popular and wanted to pretend to be my best friend, but I didn't agree. I even exposed her and publicly stated that our friendship was over. Later, I went to chat with those people and didn't pay attention to her. I just noticed that her mother-in-law wasn't very satisfied with her and looked rather unhappy."
Upon hearing that Jiang Tian had exposed Zhao Mingyao, Su Hanze's face darkened considerably.
But he couldn't say that Jiang Tian was wrong.
The woman told Zhao Mingyao the whole story as soon as they broke up.
Unless his brain was squeezed by a door, he couldn't possibly say that this was Jiang Tian's fault.
Su Hanze was extremely agitated.
After entering the workforce and graduating from university, he had to take on responsibilities on his own, and sometimes he would habitually weigh the pros and cons.
One cannot remain stagnant forever. Within the company, he experienced numerous storms, and his thinking matured considerably.
Although he still instinctively wanted to treat Zhao Mingyao well, not harming the family's interests was his top priority.
"Is there anything else you want to say? If not, I'll hang up now."
Jiang Tian was asking for his opinion over there.
Because Wei Su, who was extremely bored while waiting, was holding her hand, seemingly observing something.
Jiang Tian tried to pull her hand back, but failed.
Wei Su looked at her with a pitiful expression, as if he had suffered a great injustice.
Jiang Tian's face flushed red, and she had no choice but to ask the other end of the call to end quickly.
Su Hanze was already in a bad mood, and when he heard the signal in Jiang Tian's tone, his mood worsened.
“You always make excuses when I talk to you. Have you forgotten what your image is in the public eye? Just because you do well today doesn’t mean you will do well in the future. I want to tell you that my mother appreciates you now, so don’t let her down.”
Jiang Tian remained silent for a while before slowly speaking, "But that's not what you told me before, and I don't need to attend those events anymore..."
She was implying something.
Su Hanze knew he was referring to the fact that they were already divorced.
Whether or not they get divorced, it won't affect Su Hanze's decision not to remarry.
"Did I kick you out? Before, I made you a decorative vase in the villa. Now I'm asking you to go with my mother and learn some manners so as not to disappoint her. You should be able to do that. Since I've paid a sufficient price, shouldn't you give me a satisfactory answer instead of always hesitating? You know hesitating isn't good."
Su Hanze's tone was somewhat cold.
"OK."
Jiang Tian's voice carried a hint of unspoken restraint.
Su Hanze frowned even more: "What exactly are you doing?"
"I didn't do anything, I was just chatting with you."
Jiang Tian's tone returned to normal at this moment.
Su Hanze was very perceptive, but he also wondered if he was being too strange.
"...Where are you now?"
“I’m looking for a tutoring center. I’d like to see what courses they offer that are suitable for parents and children. I’ve already informed you about this before.”
Su Hanze thought about it for a moment, and it seemed that there was indeed such a thing.
"Hmm, did Zhao Mingyao contact you again after the banquet?"
Su Hanze quickly shifted the topic to the person he wanted to mention.
"No."
"I've already sent money to your parents, but I don't know if they've received it. You can call them to ask."
