It turned out that the woman just now was called Wang Jiaojiao.

Wu Man turned her phone on silent and silently clicked on the video at the bottom of the news.

The video was very thoughtful with subtitles. At the very beginning, it was Wang Jiaojiao’s aggressive back. She quickly walked to Lin Ziqian’s desk, slammed the table, and shouted, “Do you not want to be responsible for me?”

Lin Ziqian was stunned at first, but then he came to his senses. He glanced at Wang Jiaojiao’s angry face and then glanced at the cell phone that was continuously recording behind her. He immediately stood up, grabbed the hand of the person in front of him, and said, “Let me explain.”

As he said that, he wanted to drag Wang Jiaojiao away.

Wang Jiaojiao pushed his hand away, crossed her arms, and said with a serious face, “If you have anything to say, say it here.”

Lin Ziqian gritted his teeth and suddenly took out a ring from his pocket.

He knelt on one knee and looked at Wang Jiaojiao seriously. “Actually, I was planning to propose to you.”

Wang Jiaojiao covered her face in disbelief. The people around her also cried out in surprise.

Lin Ziqian asked, “Are you willing to marry me?”

Wang Jiaojiao immediately reached out her hand and nodded shyly. “I’m willing.”

Everyone applauded and cheered in unison.

The video ended there.

Originally, it was just an ordinary proposal, but the Wang Group founded by Wang Jiaojiao’s father was one of the most famous companies in B City. Therefore, when the news of the Wang family’s daughter’s impending marriage was released, it immediately became a trending topic.

Wu Man sat on the ground in a daze. She understood why her colleagues’ gazes were so complicated during the day. She could not help but shudder, not knowing how to react.

Lin Ziqian was handsome. Many people had been chasing after him since university, but he never flirted with other women. This was also the reason why Wu Man decided to step into marriage with him.

She didn’t expect that he would stir up trouble.

She stood up shakily and looked at the time. It was already past her time to get off work.

She had actually sat on the cold ground for more than an hour!

Wu Man slowly took out her keys and opened the door. When Mother Lin saw her pale face, she immediately rolled her eyes and scolded, “Why did you come back so late?”

Wu Man subconsciously smiled. “It’s not too late, right?”

“It’s already more than 20 minutes late.” Mother Lin was not satisfied with Wu Man’s retort. “If you get off work late every day, who will cook dinner? We’re so hungry that our stomachs are growling!”

Her brother-in-law, Lin Yuxuan, walked out of the room and shifted his gaze away from the game on his phone. He sized up Wu Man and smiled. “Sister-in-law, did you go on a date with a wild man?”

“Why are you speaking so harshly?” Mother Lin patted Lin Yuxuan lightly. There was a smile on her face, and it was obvious that she was not angry.

Wu Man did not have the energy to argue with them.

She slowly changed her shoes and raised the medicine that she had just bought. She said weakly, “Mom, I’m sick today and I’m very uncomfortable. I’m not going to cook. I’m not going to eat either.”

“Not cooking?” Mother Lin’s brows instantly furrowed. “If you’re not going to cook, what are we going to eat?”

When Father Lin heard this, he also snorted coldly. “I’ve never seen a wife who doesn’t cook. Is she going to starve our whole family to death?”

Lin Yuxuan was not angry. He suggested in high spirits, “Why don’t we go out and eat?”

Mother Lin was unhappy. “How can we afford to go out and eat? I’ve already bought the vegetables.”

As she spoke, she stared at Wu Man sharply, wanting to make her feel guilty.

If this were any other time, Wu Man would definitely apologize repeatedly and quickly transfer a few hundred yuan to her brother-in-law to buy food for the whole family.

But now, she did not care about this one-man show.

She took a cup of warm water from a bowl and took the medicine according to the instructions. Then, she walked into the bedroom and slowly lay down. She covered herself with the blanket and closed her eyes.

Mother Lin looked at Father Lin in disbelief. “Is she crazy? Is she playing with us?”

Father Lin sneered. “Who knows what she’s thinking.”

When Mother Lin heard this, she became even angrier. “She’s a hen that doesn’t lay eggs. She married into a good family like ours and yet she doesn’t cherish it? And she’s even showing her face to me from here?”

Lin Yuxuan interjected, “Mom, does she know about Big Brother’s affair?”

“That’s impossible.” Mother Lin’s expression became guilty. She lowered her voice. “I remember Ziqian saying that she doesn’t use Weibo. Besides, if she knew, would she not play with us?”

Lin Yuxuan agreed. “That’s true.”

Mother Lin pointed at Lin Yuxuan and instructed, “Don’t talk about this at home. Be careful not to let your sister-in-law hear it.”

“Ok.” Lin Yuxuan nodded obediently. He immediately changed the topic. “Mom, are we going out to eat later? I want to eat Japanese food.”

“Eat, eat, eat. All you know is eat. I’ve already bought the vegetables.” Mother Lin rolled her eyes at him. “It costs a lot to eat outside. It’s not easy for your brother to earn money…”

“Aren’t we spending Wu Man’s money?” Lin Yuxuan interrupted her.

Mother Lin pursed her lips and looked like she was unwilling to admit it. She looked at her youngest son and eventually admitted defeat. “Okay, when your brother comes back, we’ll go eat Japanese food.”

“When will my brother come back? He went to send someone off for so long.” Lin Yuxuan could not help but complain.

Mother Lin angrily twisted his arm. “Stop talking.. Are you afraid that Wu Man does not know?”
