Chapter 272 High-profile show of affection
Chapter 272 High-profile show of affection
She had never mentioned Xuanxuan's life story to him. After all, she herself hadn't found the answer to that question, so how could she tell her son? As time went on, she became less and less willing to delve into it. What mattered was that Xuanxuan was her son, not who his father was.
Su Heng appeared a little late.
After Xuanxuan was sent to kindergarten by Grandma Yang, Jiang Man also went to the company. At this time, the familiar car in front of the door came into view, and it was particularly conspicuous.
The security guard was already used to this and greeted with a smile, "Mr. Su, are you taking Miss Jiang to work?"
Su Heng lowered the car window, raised the corner of his lips and said, "It's on the way anyway."
"Mr. Su is really good to his girlfriend!"
"Yeah, I think so too."
Jiang Man smiled somewhat awkwardly, avoided the neighbors' sight, and hurriedly got into the car.
"Can you please not park your car at the door every time?" she complained to the person next to her as soon as she got in the car.
Su Heng started the car and looked at her with amusement: "Why, do you think I'm embarrassing you?"
Jiang Man really wanted to nod, but after seeing his expression, he held back and said tactfully: "You have a car worth millions parked here. It would be bad if it got bumped and scratched. It would also put pressure on others!"
He glanced at her and said, "What other women long for is despised by you."
Jiang Man didn't want to pay attention to him anymore. He took out his cell phone and browsed around. He happened to see a piece of news about Ding Xin.
Although she forced herself not to pay attention, the eye-catching headline still attracted her attention - actress Ding Xin stayed overnight at a male star's house last night.
He slid his finger across the screen, hesitated for a moment, and finally said, "Have you seen the news?"
He pulled into the driveway, "Huh?"
Jiang Man pursed her lips and said, "It's Ding Xin's news again. Reporters photographed her...staying at a male star's house."
Su Heng's jaw suddenly tightened, and the lines of his cheeks became stiff, but he quickly returned to normal, and his reaction was flat: "Oh."
Jiang Man saw all his reactions, lowered his head and continued to look at his phone without saying anything.
Ding Xin was like a forbidden zone. Their relationship had just begun to improve, so no one wanted to touch her. But not wanting to mention her didn't mean she didn't exist. Consequently, every subtle change would spark suspicion between them.
Although Su Heng had made it very clear last night that he no longer had feelings for Ding Xin, she was once an unforgettable existence in his heart. How could he forget her just like that?
Jiang Man understood this very well. Just like when she saw Lu Ziyin, she would think of the past and reminisce about the past.
When they arrived at the company, Su Heng kept receiving calls. He told her to wait for him for lunch at noon, and then hurried to the office.
Jiang Man came to his seat, and Xiao Zheng came over immediately, "Did you watch the news? Ding Xin is causing trouble again!"
Jiang Man didn't respond. He stared at her for a while and said, "Have you reconciled with President Su?"
She was stunned and almost blurted out "How do you know?"
After staring at her for a while, Xiao Zheng smiled smugly: "If it weren't for this, Ding Xin wouldn't have taken such a drastic measure."
Jiang Man was puzzled. Xiao Zheng said slowly, "At this critical moment when the rumors about her and President Su are all over the place, she is too busy defending him to make such a low-level mistake. Unless," he sneered, "that woman is deliberately provoking President Su. The reason is very simple. You and President Su have reconciled!"
Such a clear and logical analysis is truly amazing! Jiang Man really wants to applaud Sister Zheng!
Before leaving, Sister Zheng lectured Jiang Man again: "I'm telling you to stop being so careless! If you want to compete with a big star for a man, you need to show some fighting spirit!"
Manager Lin was obviously in a very happy mood, always smiling, and became closer to Jiang Man.
Jiang Man privately inquired and learned that his son's employment application had been processed and he was expected to start work this week. Manager Lin was grateful to her, and Jiang Man felt that she had not been of much help, but she was still happy for him.
When she went to the tea room, she overheard some discussion coming from inside, in which her name was mentioned, and she subconsciously slowed down her pace.
"Haven't you noticed she's been taking a lot of leave lately? She's been in a bad mood too. She must have been dumped by CEO Su!"
"Honestly, between Jiang Man and a big star like Ding Xin, any man would choose Ding Xin!"
"Haha, she's overestimating herself! I heard she had a dispute with President Lu before, and now she's trying to get close to President Su. I guess she's hitting a wall this time!"
"Ouch! We're colleagues after all, don't be so sarcastic!"
"I'm not wrong, isn't that what she is like?"
When they walked to the door, they were all stunned. They saw Jiang Man blushing, smiling awkwardly, and slipping away from her with his head down.
Jiang Man walked in, made a cup of coffee, and muttered to himself: "I am now the abandoned character."
Actually, this is quite good. Compared with the previous criticisms, it is much quieter now.
As soon as lunch break arrived, the office became lively. Xiao Zheng invited Jiang Man to have lunch together. Just as she was about to agree, she saw a familiar figure at the door.
Jiang Man was stunned. He didn't expect that he would come down in person.
Su Heng was tall and wore a dark suit jacket. Standing outside, he looked like a wall and could be seen just by looking up.
Xiao Zheng said "Oh~" in an ambiguous tone and winked at her. "So you already made an appointment! Then I won't bother you anymore!"
Jiang Man touched his nose, and his cheeks flushed slightly when he smiled.
"Hello, Mr. Su."
From time to time, colleagues would go out and be surprised to see Su Heng.
Su Heng's attitude was quite gentle. He said "hmm" and looked over the heads of the crowd and fell directly on her. Jiang Man dodged embarrassedly and followed behind his colleague with his head down.
She was just labeled an "abandoned woman," and she was a little uncomfortable with the high-profile display of affection that happened so soon.
"What are you still dawdling about?" Su Heng frowned when he saw her moving as slowly as a snail.
Everyone turned around at the same time, and Jiang Man's face flushed red. "Isn't this coming over?"
The interaction between the two made them look like an old couple who had been married for many years. How could it be possible that President Su and the big star had rekindled their old love as the news said?
Arriving at the door, Jiang Man glared at him quietly, "Why are you here? Can't you just call?"
Su Heng wanted to say something but stopped himself. He just tilted his head and looked at her with amusement, his eyebrows slightly raised.
She felt a little guilty about being stared at: "What are you looking at?"
"Jiang Man, do you think I'm very idle?"
Jiang Man glanced at him, turned away, and whispered, "Of course not, I don't think so."
