Su Heng didn't say anything else, but lowered his head and continued to focus on the computer screen in front of him.
Jiang Man sat beside him, feeling an inexplicable sense of oppression. Although the air conditioning was not on in the car, the aura emanating from Su Heng seemed to carry a hint of chill, making people afraid to approach easily.
Soon, Presidential No. 1 stopped steadily in front of the Su family mansion.
The Su family mansion is still dazzling in the night, and the surrounding lights are constantly changing colors, adding a bit of mystery and nobility to the villa.
The housekeeper had been waiting at the door for a long time. When he saw the two of them, he bowed respectfully: "Master, you are back. Miss Jiang, please come in."
Jiang Man, carrying a carefully prepared fruit basket, once again stepped into this somewhat unfamiliar place. Although it was not her first visit, she still felt a little uncomfortable.
"This is a gift for grandma," she said softly.
Only then did Su Heng notice the unique fruit basket. Whether it was its exquisite design or the various fruits placed in the basket, they all revealed extraordinary taste and care.
He looked at Jiang Man with a hint of surprise: "This basket is quite unique. Where did you buy it?"
Jiang Man was afraid that the housekeeper would hear the joke, so he leaned close to his ear and whispered, "I prepared it myself."
It turned out that she was inspired by Aunt Yang last time and specially kept the beautiful basket and personally selected fresh fruits for decoration.
Su Heng heard this, a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes, and then the corners of his mouth rose slightly: "It seems that you are more thoughtful than I thought."
Even he had to admit that the gift was indeed quite well made.
He turned and walked upstairs, leaving Jiang Man standing there with a slightly pouting mouth. She thought to herself: I am more than just a little more thoughtful!
Afterwards, Jiang Man gently pushed open Madam Su's door. She was lying on the bed, looking thinner than last time, but in good spirits. Seeing the two men come in, she immediately propped herself up and leaned against the headboard, calling out kindly, "Manman, come and sit down."
Jiang Man hurried to the bedside: "Grandma, how are you?"
"It's an old problem, it's no big deal." Old Madam Su said lightly, but her sense of weakness was hard to conceal.
Su Heng placed the fruit basket on the bedside table: "Grandma, this is specially prepared for you by Jiang Man."
"Really? Manman is so thoughtful." Old Madam Su's face was full of relief.
Jiang Man turned to look at Su Heng, feeling a strange feeling well up in her heart. This was the first time he had addressed her by name in public. For such a busy man, the fact that he remembered her name and mentioned it proactively was truly flattering.
Su Heng turned his gaze towards her and said, "Give me the marriage certificate."
"Okay." Jiang Man hurriedly rummaged through her handbag and carefully handed the two bright red certificates to him.
"Grandma, this belongs to Jiang Man and me."
Madam Su accepted the two heavy gifts of joy, her eyes gleaming with disbelief, "You... have already obtained the marriage certificate?"
"Yes." Su Heng's tone remained calm, but the tenderness in the corners of his eyes revealed his inner joy, especially when he saw his grandmother so excited.
Madam Su was filled with joy, clutching the two marriage certificates tightly in her hands as if they were the most precious treasures in the world. "That's great! I, with my old bones, can finally witness you entering the palace of marriage with my own eyes."
"Grandma!" Su Heng frowned slightly. He didn't want to hear any negative comments about his grandma's health.
Madam Su didn't care at all. She took Jiang Man's hand and said gently, "Aheng, go and do your thing first. I have something personal to say to Manman."
"Okay." Su Heng stood up and prepared to leave.
Suddenly, he stopped, as if he sensed something.
He looked down and saw Jiang Man quietly tugging at the corner of his clothes, with a glint of help in her eyes. He raised the corner of his mouth slightly, and quietly pushed her hand away, with a hint of imperceptible doting in his movements.
Jiang Man was secretly annoyed. This guy was so cold and petty! Wasn't he afraid that he would say the wrong thing in front of his grandmother and cause unnecessary misunderstandings? But then he thought, maybe this was his unique way of protecting her.
Su Heng's figure quickly disappeared behind the door, and then Jiang Man's mobile phone screen lit up, and the caller ID showed a name she had not expected.
She chuckled and apologized to Madam Su: "Grandma, I'll take a call and be back soon."
Madam Su waved her hand lovingly: "Go ahead, go ahead. No need to report to me. Child, relax a little while you're here with me. Don't be restrained."
Jiang Man pressed the answer button, "Hello?"
On the other end of the line, Su Heng's voice was calm but slightly warm: "If grandma asks, just answer truthfully. Apart from the truth of our cooperative marriage, there is no need to hide anything else."
It turned out that he didn't let go completely and had his own plans in mind.
The depression in Jiang Man's heart instantly dissipated, and she deliberately said lightly: "I will take care of the work matters."
After hanging up the phone, she turned back to Mrs. Su. The old lady looked at her with eyes full of love, as if she was the most precious treasure in the world. "Manman, from now on, Ah Heng will be in your hands."
Jiang Man felt a little bitter in his heart, but he still tried to keep smiling and nodded in agreement.
"Although Ah Heng looks cold on the outside, he actually has a warm heart. It's just that his mother back then... Alas, he had to endure too much at such a young age. Although he doesn't say it, I know he's suffering." Old Madam Su's words were full of heartache.
Jiang Man's heart was deeply touched. She had never thought that the always strong Su Heng had such a sad past behind him.
Madam Su sighed repeatedly, "I'm really afraid that when I'm gone, he won't even have anyone to rely on, not even someone who can understand him..."
Jiang Man hurried forward and gently held Madam Su's hand, "Grandma, you will definitely be healthy and live a long life. Besides, I am here, I will accompany him and take care of him."
Even for this scene, she didn't want to see Old Madam Su sad.
Upon hearing this, Mrs. Su's eyes sparkled with tears. She held Jiang Man's hand tightly and said, "Manman, you are a kind child. Thank you for taking good care of Ah Heng for me."
When leaving Old Madam Su's room, Jiang Man's eyes were red. When she looked up, she saw Su Heng leaning quietly against the opposite wall, looking at her with deep eyes.
She quickly wiped the moisture from the corners of her eyes and asked, "You... have been here all the time?"
Su Heng stared at her deeply and said in a low voice: "You know everything?"
Jiang Man was stunned for a moment, then nodded and chose to remain silent.
Su Heng took out a cigarette from his pocket, lit it, and slowly walked towards the stairs. His back looked a little lonely.
Jiang Man understood that those past events were a hidden pain in his heart. Perhaps, keeping silent was the best way to show respect and understanding to him.
