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

Chapter 348 Self-blame

The river flows slowly, as if telling an endless story, but at this moment, his heart is full of his own troubles.

He narrowed his deep eyes, which were filled with confusion and regret. Pu Lao's words were like a heavy hammer, hitting his heart again and again.

Recalling the little things he had experienced with Jiang Man in the past, a wry smile appeared on his face, and a strong sense of self-blame surged in his heart. He couldn't help but ask himself, had he ever truly appreciated her for so long?

That woman had silently given so much to him without complaint, yet he had never truly understood her inner world. He slowly lowered his head and laughed bitterly at himself. Perhaps Jiang Man's sudden departure this year was fate's punishment for him.

The cigarette was burning at his fingertips. He had already smoked most of it when the cigarette butt became hot to the touch before he realized it.

He frowned slightly, extinguished the cigarette butt, and threw it into the trash can beside him.

Turning back into the car and sitting in the driver's seat, he did not start the car immediately. Instead, he sat there quietly, staring blankly ahead.

After a moment, he slowly opened his phone, his finger lingering on the screen for a long time, as if he was thinking about something. Finally, he gritted his teeth, as if making some kind of decision, and began typing a message and sending it out.

Jiang Man’s sudden disappearance was like a stone thrown into a calm lake, causing a huge ripple in the company.

Rumors flooded in, and speculation about her was everywhere.

Some said that her relationship with the president broke down and she could no longer stay in the company, so she left quietly; others said that the president was under pressure from his family to marry Miss Zheng and had to secretly place her somewhere else. All kinds of rumors were rampant, however, these were just groundless speculations and none of them were confirmed.

Faced with these rumors, Su Heng chose to remain silent.

He never mentioned Jiang Man, as if she had never appeared in his life, and as if nothing had happened.

He let the rumors spread until people gradually lost interest.

But only those close to him know how much deep pain he suppresses in his heart. It is an unspeakable torment.

Lin Ze carefully put away the contract. He raised his head slightly and glanced at Su Heng secretly. His lips moved as if he wanted to say something, but he hesitated and did not speak.

Su Heng seemed to have noticed something was wrong with him. He raised his head, looked at Lin Ze, and asked, "What's the matter?"

Lin Ze was slightly startled, a hint of nervousness appeared on his face, and he stammered, "Miss Zheng just called and said she wanted to have dinner with you tonight."

Hearing this, Su Heng lowered his head slightly, was silent for a moment, and then said, "Well, you go and arrange it."

Lin Ze frowned. Although he knew it was just a casual affair, the thought of Jiang Man made him feel unhappy and sorry for Miss Su. He couldn't help but glance at his boss, his tone unconsciously tinged with emotion, "Oh, I'll arrange it, but you're so devoted to your 'new love', aren't you? You're so willing to oblige."

Hearing this, Su Heng gave him a cold look. Then, the corners of his mouth suddenly lifted slightly, revealing a half-smile: "Mr. Chen, should I apologize?"

Lin Ze was stunned by his sudden reaction. He thought to himself that something was wrong and quickly said, "Oh, stop kidding me! I'll call back right away!" After that, he ran out of the office like a frightened rabbit.

Su Heng pursed his lips, his expression somewhat solemn.

He slowly put down the pen in his hand and slowly brushed his cheeks with his hands, as if this could wipe away the fatigue and worries in his heart.

He reached out and picked up the desk calendar, staring at the date on it, and cursed in his heart.

Damn it, it had only been a week, but the one-year agreement he had made with the old man felt like a long century to him.

He had already begun to regret why he had agreed to the old man. This year, he was almost trying to kill him!

Thinking of this, his cheeks tightened slightly. He stood up suddenly, reached out to pick up his coat, and strode out the door.

The car sped all the way and soon arrived at the kindergarten gate.

The guard saw him from afar and immediately showed a respectful expression on his face, and quickly let him in: "Boss Su is here!" Ever since Su Heng bought this kindergarten, he rarely showed up here, and daily affairs were left to the principal.

He walked into the garden, his steps very light, trying not to make any noise and not disturb anyone.

He walked straight to the outside of the senior class and stood quietly by the window, looking through the window into the classroom. Xuanxuan was playing games with the other children, smiling happily, with an innocent smile on his face.

Seeing this scene, Su Heng's mouth corners unconsciously lifted up, revealing a gentle smile. He folded his arms, stood quietly outside the door, and looked at Xuanxuan intently, as if at this moment, the whole world was left with only him and his son.

In his opinion, children are really lucky because they are easily distracted by other things. Unlike him, no matter where he is or how beautiful the girl is, the only person he thinks of is Jiang Man.

He shook his head in self-mockery. It seemed that he was really ill and was deeply immersed in the longing for Jiang Man and couldn't extricate himself.

The teacher soon noticed him. He gently stretched out his finger and put it to his mouth, signaling the teacher not to disturb Xuanxuan.

The teacher understood, walked out quietly, and stood outside the door to talk with him.

His eyes never left the children in the classroom as he asked softly, "How is he these days?"

The teacher smiled and replied, "He's still very well behaved, but he misses his mother sometimes."

Su Heng nodded slowly, a look of heartache on his face, and asked again: "Who sent him here recently?"

"It was given by my grandparents." The teacher replied.

Su Heng responded and signaled the teacher to continue working. He stood at the door and watched quietly.

He had previously offered to take Xuanxuan in, but his father and mother declined. The reason they gave was so strong that he couldn't argue. After all, he was busy with work and couldn't care less about the child than they did.

For Xuanxuan's sake, Su Heng did not insist, but just hoped that they could inform him as soon as Jiang Man contacted them.

At this time, Xuanxuan was playing games with the teacher. Wenwen quietly pulled the corner of Xuanxuan's clothes and whispered, "Xuanxuan, that's your dad."

When Xuanxuan heard this, he quickly turned around. When he saw Su Heng outside the door, his eyes suddenly lit up and he shouted excitedly, "Dad!" He ran towards Su Heng like a happy little bird.
