Humiliated by my mother-in-law, I married into a wealthy family with my son four years later

Chapter 295 Let’s talk

Su Heng returned to the office, where Lin Ze was already waiting. "Mr. Su, this is the information we'll need for the meeting this afternoon. You'd better confirm it now."

Su Heng picked it up, glanced at it quickly, and threw it aside in annoyance.

Lin Ze was stunned: "What's wrong with you?"

Su Heng didn't say anything, but lit a cigarette. After a few seconds, he suddenly said, "Go check on Pu Jing."

"Him?" Lin Ze asked doubtfully, "Could it be from Pu Lao's side?"

Su Heng shook his head: "I want to know about his private life, especially six years ago."

Lin Ze didn't ask any more questions, "I understand."

After he left, Su Heng fell into deep thought again.

After talking with Ding Xin, he understood what she wanted. If what Ding Xin said was true, what should he do then?

Lin Ze acted decisively and had laid out the required information neatly on his desk by the afternoon.

"Boss Su, all the information is here."

Su Heng waved his hand casually, and Lin Ze tactfully retreated.

He stared at the documents on the table, struggled internally for a moment, and finally picked them up.

Jiang Man carefully prepared dinner. Seeing that there were only two sets of bowls and chopsticks on the table, Xuanxuan immediately looked up and asked, "Mom, why aren't Dad's bowls and chopsticks here?"

Jiang Man looked out the window. It was already late at night. She looked away and said calmly, "Dad is very busy at the company and won't be back for dinner."

"But Dad hasn't called yet." Xuanxuan was still looking forward to Su Heng's return. He lowered his head and whispered, "In the past, if Dad came back late, he would call us first to tell us."

Jiang Man gently stroked his little head and just said, "Let's eat."

When Su Heng returned, Xuanxuan was already fast asleep.

He pushed open the door and saw Jiang Man sitting on the sofa at a glance.

"Full."

"Heng, let's talk."

Jiang Man took the initiative to speak, looking at him with clear and calm eyes.

Jiang Man seemed so selfless and indifferent, which made him feel a little unfamiliar.

He walked over and sat down opposite her, looked up at her, thought for a moment and said, "There is something I must tell you."

Jiang Man still responded with a calm look, "Okay, I'll listen."

She changed to a more comfortable sitting position and stared at him intently, which made Su Heng feel a little uncomfortable. He rubbed his eyebrows and said with a hint of fatigue, "Ding Xin..."

The corners of Jiang Man's mouth curled up slightly, as expected.

Su Heng frowned, feeling annoyed and unable to calm down. He said, "We had a very good relationship back then."

Jiang Man thought, he actually used "very good" to describe that relationship, which shows how much he loved Ding Xin at that time. However, first love is always so unforgettable.

"After I returned from studying abroad, my grandmother asked me to join the company to learn, but my father has never liked me and has tried every possible means to kick me out. I originally had no interest in this company, but the more he tried to kick me out, the more I wanted to stay! What's more, I wanted to snatch the company away from him!"

He clenched his fists. “That’s what I thought at the time.”

Jiang Man also knew something about his past and could imagine how much pressure he was under at that time.

"He thought I wasn't cut out for business and looked down on me from the start. So, in front of all the directors, I gave him a pledge: I'll secure a very important contract within a week."

He paused for a moment and continued, "I still remember it clearly until now. The first time we worked together was with Mr. Pu's company."

Jiang Man was stunned. "Mr. Pu's company?"

"Yeah," he nodded, "The person in charge of that project must have been taken care of by my father, so he didn't give me any chance at all and said he wouldn't talk to anyone except Su Zeqi."

Jiang Man listened attentively. She just didn't understand how much hatred Su Zeqi had to have to be so wary of his son. Was it just because Su Heng's mother had betrayed him?

Su Heng was right in one thing. After all, Su Zeqi was the biggest loser.

At this moment, Su Heng looked up and silently glanced at Jiang Man. "Everyone was waiting to see me make a fool of myself. What I didn't expect was that Ding Xin found Pu Jing at that time and exchanged herself for that valuable contract."

Jiang Man was stunned. She never expected that things would end like this.

"She proposed breaking up simply because she wanted better career prospects and that being with me would be a hindrance. At the time, I was arrogant, or perhaps I had just secured that deal and was still brimming with excitement over humiliating my father, so I didn't care at all! So, I agreed without a second thought."

Jiang Man stared at him, "What result do you want to tell me?"

At this point, she had already made plans for the worst, but all she needed was a word from him.

Su Heng looked at Jiang Man, stood up, walked to her side, and gently held her hand. "Manman, I do owe Ding Xin, this is an indisputable fact. But, I don't want to give up on you and Xuanxuan even more!"

Jiang Man slowly shook his head, "Heng, you can't be with us at the same time and still be thinking about another woman."

"I know." Su Heng gazed at her affectionately, "I just want you to be by my side while I deal with this."

Jiang Man frowned in confusion, "Why do you have to have me accompany you?"

"Because..." He held her hand tightly, "I'm afraid that if I let go, I'll never be able to find you again."

Jiang Man was slightly stunned, then fell silent and lowered his eyes again.

"Now, I've told you everything. I don't want any suspicion or hurt between us, so I hope you can participate in whatever I do."

His words were so sincere that Jiang Man couldn't find any reason to refute them.

After a long time, she nodded gently: "Okay, I promise you."

Su Heng finally breathed a sigh of relief and walked forward to hug her tightly, "Thank you."

Jiang Man pursed his lips lightly and asked slowly: "Is it her business that makes you so nervous?"

Su Heng released his embrace and said with a hint of a smile, "It's not her, it's you."

"I?"

"You don't know how much I feared you would refuse me when I was talking to you, and how much I feared you would take Xuanxuan away with you."

Jiang Man's heart trembled. She had never seen him with such an expression. Although he was still strong, she could also feel his panic and anxiety.

"Now close your eyes," he said suddenly.

"Why?" She was puzzled.

"Be obedient." His voice was full of magic. Jiang Man glanced at him and finally closed his eyes obediently.

Su Heng seemed to walk out of the bedroom and then walked back in.
