Humiliated by my mother-in-law, I married into a wealthy family with my son four years later
Chapter 29: Want a child
Su Heng suddenly stretched out his hand, and Jiang Man subconsciously protected his chest with both hands, with a defensive look on his face.
Su Heng's lips curled up into a smile, a hint of sarcasm flashed in his eyes, and then he slowly picked up the pen she had dropped from the table and held it up.
Jiang Man's face turned red instantly.
Su Heng slowly stepped back, putting some distance between them. His cold eyes narrowed slightly as he looked at her unscrupulously.
Jiang Man felt a little uncomfortable being looked at by him. She frowned slightly and deliberately put on an imposing look: "Boss Su, do you have any other instructions?"
Su Heng raised his eyebrows and said calmly, "After the meeting minutes are sorted out, give them to Lin Ze."
"Yes."
After he left, Jiang Man glanced at the few pages of paper on the table, sighed again, took them back and started to organize them.
In the afternoon, her new phone rang with a text message alert.
I picked it up and saw only a short line of words: "Grandma wants to see you, wait for me after get off work."
It was sent by the president of Suda.
Jiang Man held the phone in his hand, tilting his head and thinking, Su Heng is really filial to Old Madam Su! Even though his relationship with his father was so strained, he would still go home to visit her.
Xuanxuan had Aunt Yang to help take care of him, so Jiang Man didn't have to worry. After get off work, she went straight to the underground garage and saw Su Heng's car parked there. She looked around and made sure no one was there before going in.
Su Heng remained in his usual state, clutching his laptop, his eyes barely raised. Jiang Man, accustomed to the task, pulled out her phone and began exploring its new features. Unfamiliar with the system, she occasionally made noises. She cautiously glanced at the man sitting next to her, but seeing he didn't react, she continued to study.
Finally, after the phone made a funny duck sound, the expression on Su Heng's face began to change.
Slowly, he closed the computer and looked up at her.
"Can you be any dumber?" He took the phone from her and said coldly, "Look, I'll only say this once, remember it!" As he spoke, he called up various functions on the phone and began to patiently explain the function and operation method of each function.
Jiang Man was a little surprised to find that Su Heng, who was always full of energy and vigor on weekdays, was able to handle even such a small matter as introducing the functions of a mobile phone with ease, as if he could do it effortlessly.
After he finished explaining, she couldn't help but ask, "Are you using this one too?"
"That's not the case," he replied calmly. "If you don't understand something whose function is obvious at a glance, it would be surprising."
Jiang Man was suddenly speechless.
Well, just pretend she didn't mention it.
After entering the Su residence, Jiang Man no longer felt the nervousness she had during her first visit. After all, the purpose of this trip was to visit Old Madam Su, so she didn't need to care about other people's attitudes.
When the two walked into the living room, Su Zeqi and Chen Mei were sitting there.
Chen Mei quickly stood up, her enthusiasm for Su Heng undiminished: "Ah Heng, you're back. Have you had dinner? I'll ask the kitchen to prepare it..."
"No need." Su Heng was still cold to her and led Jiang Man straight upstairs.
Su Zeqi was immediately furious. "Your aunt is talking to you, and this is your attitude?"
Su Heng turned a deaf ear to them and went to the second floor amidst the scolding. He pushed open the door of Old Madam Su's room without hesitation.
It was not until he saw the old man lying on the bed that his face, which was full of hostility, softened slightly. Jiang Man followed closely behind him. As soon as he entered the room, he saw that Mrs. Su had become as thin as a piece of dry wood compared to the last time they met. She was just a skeleton, which made people feel pity.
Although Jiang Man had not had much contact with Madam Su, he truly loved this kind and generous elder. Looking at her current appearance, his eyes could not help but well up.
Old Madam Su was still smiling, and she weakly raised her hand and waved to her.
Jiang Man adjusted his mood and stepped forward quickly, "Grandma."
She called out sweetly.
Old Madam Su was extremely happy to see her, but she could only nod slightly in response.
Su Heng's eyebrows trembled slightly, and his hands hidden in his trouser pockets clenched unconsciously.
Madam Su looked at him again and said in an almost inaudible voice, "From now on, you won't be alone anymore... Grandma can really rest assured..."
Su Heng gritted his teeth and nodded slightly.
Nothing hurt him more than these words.
"Grandma... I really want to see you and Manman... have a child... Then, even if I give my life right now... to God, Grandma will be satisfied..."
Mrs. Su was in very poor health. After speaking only a few words, she began to cough violently. The family doctor quickly asked her to rest.
Su Heng and Jiang Man left the room, both feeling extremely heavy-hearted.
Suddenly, he turned around and said solemnly, "Have a baby with me."
Jiang Man stared at him with an incredulous look, "Are you kidding me?"
She could understand Su Heng's filial piety towards his grandmother, but how could having a child be a joke? Besides, it was impossible for her to have a child with him!
Su Heng looked at her with his eyes downcast and a self-deprecating smile on his lips. "This is the first time I feel so incompetent."
He walked past her and went straight downstairs.
Jiang Man stood there with a complicated expression. Although she knew that this was none of her business, she felt a hint of guilt in her heart...
She quickly closed her eyes and patted her cheeks, reminding herself to stay awake! This was not her fault at all, and she didn't need to feel guilty about it!
Lin Ze had clearly noticed that the CEO had been distracted all morning. He was rarely so distracted at work, yet today, for the first time, he had canceled a crucial video conference.
Su Heng slowly raised his head, gently closed the report in his hand, and said to Lin Ze who was anxiously waiting for a reply, "You go out first."
"Ok."
Su Heng unbuttoned a button on his shirt collar, then lit a cigarette, took a deep breath, letting the pungent taste of nicotine fill his nostrils, and then slowly exhaled the smoke.
Last night, Madam Su's words echoed in his ears. Since his mother's passing, Su Zeqi had married Chen Meifeng with great fanfare, and his grandmother had become his only real relative. Countless nights, he'd fallen asleep in tears, with his grandmother always silently by his side...
However, he failed to fulfill her dying wish, which filled him with deep remorse.
The phone on the table suddenly rang, but he ignored it and maintained his original posture.
The ringing continued for a while, then finally stopped. But not long after, it rang again.
Su Heng frowned slightly, turned and walked to his desk, put out the cigarette in his hand, and answered the phone: "Hello?"
"Are you the big brother? I'm Xuanxuan!"
Xuanxuan shouted excitedly on the other end of the phone: "There was a running competition in kindergarten today, and I won first place!"
When he heard the little guy's voice, Su Heng's frown gradually relaxed.
