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

The figure finally moved, stepping towards her. He remained silent, his face stern, his eyes revealing a chilling look that made her feel daunted.

Jiang Man looked up at him, the rain running down her cheeks and into her eyes, making it difficult for her to distinguish between reality and illusion.

Su Heng looked at her. Her eyes were red and swollen, and she looked at him stubbornly. He gritted his teeth, those harsh words still echoing in his ears. His only shred of rationality was completely shattered.

He reached out and shoved her against the wall, his slender fingers gripping her chin tightly as he lowered his head to kiss her lips. The kiss was rough and wild, devoid of tenderness, like the bite of a wild animal. Jiang Man was startled, her hands pressed against his chest, her mind racing through all the possibilities of tonight. She tried hard to push him away.

He naturally sensed her resistance. He narrowed his eyes slightly and used one hand to firmly hold her hands.

He stopped and stared into her eyes. Her eyes were full of fear and helplessness, very pitiful.

He gritted his teeth, unwilling to be swayed by these emotions. He leaned over again and kissed her lips.

A few glistening tears still hung in Jiang Man's eyes, gleaming faintly. She gazed affectionately at Su Heng's chiseled profile. The turmoil in her heart gradually subsided, as if the waves had finally found a harbor. She slowly closed her eyes, burying the surging emotions Su Heng had brought upon her deep within her heart, silently enduring them and savoring their sweetness and bitterness.

The rain gradually subsided. Su Heng seemed to feel her change. He opened his eyes slightly and saw Jiang Man with her eyes closed and her brows furrowed, as if she was enduring great pain.

He finally let her go, as if he was relieved. Jiang Man bent down and took several deep breaths in succession, trying to calm his breathing.

Su Heng glanced at her sideways and remained silent.

Jiang Man straightened her body and wiped the corners of her mouth again and again. She glanced at Su Heng, and suddenly, she didn't know how to face him.

She gritted her teeth and walked straight towards the community.

Just as she was about to pass by him, Su Heng suddenly spoke: "Aren't you going to explain?" His voice was calm and cold, reaching her ears.

Jiang Man bit his lower lip tightly, speechless for a moment. He could only lower his head and continue walking forward silently.

Su Heng's patience was exhausted. He stepped forward and held her hand tightly: "Explain!"

"Or, are you willing?"

There was a hint of anger in his eyes. Jiang Man stubbornly tried to pull her hand back, but the man held on tightly. "Let go." Her voice was choked with sobs, reaching her limit.

Hearing her voice, Su Heng frowned and pulled her closer. Only then did he realize that her eyes were frighteningly red. He hesitated for a moment and whispered, "What's wrong with you?"

Hearing this, Jiang Man raised her head and looked at Su Heng. All her emotions seemed to have found an outlet, and she threw herself into his arms.

Su Heng's eyes widened slightly. He looked down at Jiang Man's hair whorls. His seemingly normal shoulders were now shaking violently.

The trembling in his arms made him frown, and he raised his hands and hugged her tightly.

After an unknown amount of time, the rain finally stopped. Jiang Man let go of him, still without saying a word.

She walked forward quietly, and Su Heng watched her back until she disappeared from his sight. He closed his eyes tiredly, but his mind was filled with the image of her helplessness.

Jiang Man returned home but didn't see Xuanxuan. He should have stayed overnight at Aunt Yang's house.

She slid down slowly, leaning against the wall. Within the vast space, within the four walls, only her own breathing echoed. The emptiness and loneliness made her heart tighten involuntarily. In this boundless silence, fear, like the night, silently crept into her heart and enveloped her tightly.

She held her head in her hands, trying to calm herself down and pretend nothing had happened.

He got up, found a change of clothes, and headed to the bathroom.

As usual, she turned on the shower, but the moment the water wet her body, she couldn't help crying out loud.

Not only because of this incident, but also all the past with Lu Ziming seemed to be wiped out at this moment.

She kept scrubbing her skin so much that she didn't even notice someone opening the door.

Su Heng held the key in his hand and looked around the room, but did not see Jiang Man.

This key was left to him by the previous landlord. He has kept it and didn't expect it to come in handy today.

There was a sound of running water, Jiang Man must be taking a shower. He sat on the sofa, quietly waiting for her.

The sound of water continued for a long time, mixed with a few faint sobs. His eyes became deeper and deeper, like two bottomless wells.

Finally, he stopped waiting, stood up, and walked towards the bathroom.

He opened the door and walked in.

Jiang Man stood inside and looked in the direction of the voice. Su Heng was standing at the door. She subconsciously covered her body with her hands, closed her eyes, and said in a hoarse voice: "Get out!"

Su Heng didn't move, just looked at Jiang Man quietly.

"Go away, please." She opened her eyes, filled with fatigue. A single teardrop silently slid down her soft cheek, leaving a faint trail. Her voice was thin, yet filled with endless pleading.

Su Heng narrowed his eyes slightly, walked up to her, picked up the bath towel and wrapped her tightly, then bent down and held her in his arms.

Jiang Man was stunned for a moment, and then he heard his steady and strong heartbeat.

Her fingers clenched tightly around his clothes.

Su Heng carried her to the bed and sat her down. Her wet hair was still dripping with water. He frowned and picked up the hair dryer nearby and plugged it in.

Blowing her hair quietly.

Jiang Man's nose felt sore again, and she turned her face away, not wanting to cry in front of him.

He felt strangely displeased by her appearance. He stopped what he was doing, put the hair dryer on the table, and picked up a dry towel to continue drying her hair.

"How do you know?" she asked hoarsely.

Su Heng didn't say anything. He stood in front of her, straightened her face, and looked directly into her eyes: "I don't know anything."

"You lied..."

The words were still on the tip of her lips when he interrupted her impatiently: "I lied to you? What did I lie to you about?" His eyes quickly swept over her with a bit of contempt and disdain, "Look at you, is there anything on your body that is worth my trouble to weave a lie?" After saying that, he nodded seriously, as if he had no doubt about his own judgment.
