Chapter 129 Don’t run around
The two returned to the rest area.
As soon as Su Heng sat down, his cell phone vibrated.
He frowned, swiped the screen, and after seeing the message, his originally slightly gentle eyes instantly turned cold. After a brief reply, he put the phone down.
"What's wrong?" Jiang Man asked with concern when he saw that he looked unhappy.
"It's okay." He replied calmly.
Jiang Man responded without asking any more questions. She knew that there were some things he didn't want to talk about, and she wouldn't force him to.
She glanced at the soda water on the table. Su Heng took only one sip and left it there. "How about I help you drink it? I don't dislike you anyway, so we can't waste it."
Just as she was about to reach out her hand, Su Heng slapped her hand away without even looking up, "Don't move."
Jiang Man curled his lips, "You are really a stingy person."
At this time, Xuanxuan ran out of the park with sweat all over his head.
Jiang Man took out a tissue and carefully wiped the sweat from Xuanxuan's forehead.
"Why are you playing so crazy?" she asked with a hint of reproach.
Xuanxuan smiled, his eyes sparkling with excitement, "It's so fun in there, I want to play for a while longer!"
"Xuanxuan, it's getting late, we should go home."
"But I still want to play." Xuanxuan looked at Su Heng as if asking for help.
Su Heng raised his eyebrows, stood up and walked forward, holding Xuanxuan in his arms, "Let him play for a while."
He looked down at Jiang Man with an unquestionable majesty in his eyes. Jiang Man was speechless for a moment and could only agree.
Xuanxuan made a smug face.
When we left the amusement park, night had already fallen quietly.
Xuanxuan was tired from playing and fell asleep on Su Heng's back.
Jiang Man felt a little apologetic, "Is it heavy? I'd better let me carry it."
Su Heng said nonchalantly, "It's not heavy."
"Ah! Look! It's Justin!" A scream suddenly came from the crowd, interrupting Jiang Man's words.
The originally orderly crowd suddenly became chaotic, and people fled in all directions like ants on a hot pan.
The crowd surged, and Jiang Man was pushed and stumbled forward several steps. When she looked back, she could no longer see Su Heng and Xuanxuan.
There were people all around her, and she went against the flow, walking in the opposite direction in a hurried pace.
The further she walked, the more panicked she became. "Su Heng..." she shouted loudly, but her voice sounded so weak in the noisy crowd.
Suddenly, a soft hand grabbed her hand, and a steady voice came to her ear: "Don't run around..."
She looked up, but before she could see who it was, she was bumped by the crowd again. At this moment, Su Heng had already hugged her in his arms.
Xuanxuan was among them, rubbing his sleepy eyes.
"Mom, what's wrong?"
"Mom is fine." She looked away in panic, her heart beating faster again.
After returning home, Jiang Man gently placed Xuanxuan on the bed and carefully covered him with a quilt.
After leaving the room, she walked into the bathroom and splashed cold water on her cheeks.
The self in the mirror had his eyes closed, his breathing was a little rapid, and the drum-like heartbeat was still echoing in his ears.
"Jiang Man, this was just a chance encounter." Yes, it was just a chance encounter, she comforted herself.
Pick up the towel and gently wipe away the water droplets on your face.
Just at this moment, the door was gently pushed open and she stuck her head out.
"Sister..." Jiang Lu's voice with a hint of sob came from outside the door.
With tears in her eyes, she stood there weakly, as if she could be blown down by a gust of wind. "Sister, you have to help me this time."
Jiang Man couldn't help but frowned, "What's wrong?"
"I was performing well in the company, but today I suddenly received a call from the HR department saying that I was fired." As he said this, tears welled up in his eyes.
"How could this happen? Did you do something wrong?" Jiang Man was also surprised.
Jiang Lu cried even louder. "I don't know! I've been working really hard these past few days! Even my manager praised me for being smart and hardworking. How could I have offended anyone?"
She cried heartbreakingly. Jiang Man frowned and looked at her. He couldn't help but comfort her: "Don't cry first, I'll go to the company to ask for you."
"Sister." Jiang Lu held Jiang Man's hand tightly. "You must help me. I don't want to go back to places like the bar, and I don't want to have anything to do with people like Brother Dao anymore!"
"Don't worry, there has to be a reason for the dismissal. I'll help you find out."
After receiving Jiang Man's assurance, Jiang Lu gradually stopped crying, "Sister, thank you, I can only rely on you now."
"Well, stop crying and go back to your room to rest." Jiang Man also felt it was strange. Notifying someone of the dismissal with just a phone call was obviously not in compliance with formal procedures.
After two days of rest, Jiang Lu remained depressed at home. Even when Jiang Man needed to go to the hospital, she refused to leave. She either stayed in the living room watching TV or chatted on the phone with friends, complaining about how the company was unfair and had fired her.
Monday finally arrived. As Jiang Man just got up, he saw that his cousin had already prepared breakfast and placed it on the table enthusiastically.
When he saw her come out, he immediately called out, "Sister! Come and have breakfast!"
"Huh? The sun rises from the west today?" Jiang Man joked with a smile. After washing up, he woke up Xuanxuan and the three of them sat together to enjoy breakfast.
Jiang Lu lost her appetite. She raised her head, looked at Jiang Man, and asked cautiously, "Sister, will you go and ask for me today?"
Seeing Jiang Man nod, she finally smiled: "That's good."
But after a while, he looked up uncertainly: "Sister, you won't forget, right?"
Jiang Man looked at her helplessly: "Xiao Lu, I promise you! I promise you, okay?"
"It's not that I don't believe you, but I'm just worried." Jiang Lu stirred the porridge in the bowl absent-mindedly.
Jiang Man rubbed his temples and said, "You are my sister, of course I will try my best, don't worry."
Jiang Lu nodded obediently and smiled: "I knew that my sister was the best to me!"
Jiang Man came to the 28th floor and stopped at the door, hesitating for a moment.
If the HR department hadn't told her that it was Su Heng who personally ordered Jiang Lu's dismissal, she would never have guessed it! The company was his, but everything had to have a reason, right?
Thinking that his cousin was so serious about finding a proper job, Jiang Man gritted his teeth and mustered up the courage to knock on the door even though he knew it was against the rules.
"Come in." Su Heng's low and magnetic voice sounded.
Jiang Man pushed open the door and walked in. The cold air inside made him shiver.
She walked to Su Heng's desk and saw that he seemed to have guessed her purpose, but he still asked, "What's the matter?"
"Boss Su." Jiang Man mustered up the courage to ask directly, "Did Jiang Lu do something wrong? Why did you fire her?"
Su Heng slowly leaned back in the chair, his body completely sunk into the leather chair, gently closed his eyes, and then slowly opened them to look at her. From Jiang Man's serious attitude, it can be seen that she probably doesn't know what the sister she tried so hard to protect has done.
