Chapter 328: Seeking the Truth
Before, he always blamed his father, but now he realized that he was just a pitiful man.
Chen Mei observed his expression and asked cautiously, "Did you see your mother?"
Su Heng stood up and said, "Sorry to bother you."
He didn't say anything more, just turned around and walked out. Chen Mei didn't want to ask any more questions, so she followed him out the door and said, "Heng, come back for dinner when you have time. After all, this is your home too."
Su Heng did not respond and drove away.
Chen Mei narrowed her eyes suspiciously and immediately called Chen Hao after returning to the room.
Hearing this, Chen Hao said helplessly, "Mom, please stop being so suspicious, okay? That woman is Big Brother's biological mother after all. Now that she's starting to show up, it's normal for Big Brother to ask about her!"
"But I always feel like something's wrong!" Chen Mei asked worriedly, "Do you think he wants to bring his mother back and match her up with your father?!"
Chen Hao laughed: "Mom, have you watched too much TV? Even if my brother wants to, with Dad's temper, how could it be possible!"
Chen Mei thought about it and agreed, but she still warned him worriedly, "Pay more attention to Zhou Rou's movements. Now that Lu Yi is gone, she might be planning to take over your father again! That woman will do anything for the sake of profit!"
"Okay, I know!"
Chen Hao hung up the phone. Although he was curious about why Su Heng suddenly cared about Zhou Rou, he felt that his mother's imagination was indeed very wild.
He turned and walked towards the elevator, and happened to bump into Bai Xue.
"Hello, Mr. Xiao!" Bai Xue immediately greeted him respectfully. Chen Hao looked her over and saw her name tag. "Have you been to the marketing department?"
Bai Xue was full of energy, her big eyes sparkling with energy. "Sister Man and I are in the same department. The manager said that if I perform well, I can be promoted to a regular employee in a month!"
Chen Hao raised the corner of his mouth and nodded: "Then I look forward to your performance."
"Please rest assured, manager. I will never let you down!" Bai Xue was expressing her determination to the organization. Colleagues passing by were covering their mouths and laughing.
Chen Hao coughed twice to hide the embarrassment on his face, "Okay, let's get to work."
"Yes!"
Bai Xue bowed to him at a 90-degree angle. Chen Hao was amused by her. It was the first time he met such a serious employee.
Su Heng left the Su residence and did not return to the company immediately. Instead, he turned around and went to Jiang Man's house.
Su's father was adding a fence to the yard outside, and Pei Fei was watering the cabbages in the yard. When they saw his car from afar, they both looked up.
"Uncle, aunt, I'm here to bother you again."
"No way! Come in, come in!" Father Su put down the work in his hands, welcomed him in warmly, and then asked Pei Fei to make tea.
Father Su asked, "Ah Heng, how come you're free today? Oh, and where's my precious grandson?"
"Jiang Man is at work, and Xuanxuan is in kindergarten. I was meeting a client nearby and stopped by to see you."
"That's it!"
The two of them drank tea. Pei Fei came over, looked at him lovingly and said, "I'll go prepare some dishes later. You can have a few drinks with me, old man."
Father Su nodded: "Okay!"
Su Heng didn't refuse and nodded.
Pei Fei entered the kitchen. Su Heng looked up, then backed away. His father was talking about repairing the fence, and Su Heng stood up: "I'll do it."
"Oh! How can that be? You're not used to this kind of rough work!"
"It's okay, I can do it."
Su Heng picked up the tools and did a pretty good job, finishing the rest of the work in no time. Su's father sighed, "I'm really getting old. I can't compare to you young people."
Su Heng wiped his hands and asked casually, "Why didn't you give Jiang Man another brother then? At least he could have been a lookout."
Father Su smiled and said, "Of course I haven't thought about it. But her mother is in poor health and can't have any more children. So, later on, I thought of taking Xiaoyun in. But the child is not doing well."
"Auntie is not feeling well? Do you want me to contact the hospital?"
"No, no," Father Su waved his hand. "It's an old problem. Jiang Man had a difficult delivery and almost lost her life!" Thinking of that time, he sighed: "You don't know, when the doctor asked me to save the mother or the child, my mind went blank. I felt like the sky was falling!"
Su Heng listened silently, "I have never heard Jiang Man mention these things before."
"Hehe, she doesn't know yet."
Su Heng looked up in confusion. His father said, "Her mother's life was finally saved, but then she developed postpartum depression. She didn't recover until Jiang Man was two or three years old. However, she doesn't remember much of what happened during that time."
He pondered for a moment and said, "That's a good thing."
Su Heng lowered his head, his mood becoming increasingly heavy.
The lunch was very rich, with all home-cooked dishes. Pei Fei kept picking up food for him and urged him to eat more.
"I heard from Manman that you have been very busy lately. You must eat more so that you have the energy to work." Pei Fei looked at him with a smile, and the more she looked, the more satisfied she became.
"Yes. Thank you, auntie."
Pei Fei asked again: "When will you and Manman get married?"
Su Heng froze and his expression instantly became complicated.
Father Su glanced at his wife and said, "Oh! Why are you so anxious?" Then he turned and whispered to Su Heng, "She bought several sets of clothes and always asks me which one will look good on our daughter at her wedding."
Pei Fei's cheeks flushed, and she hit him with a smile: "What nonsense are you talking about in front of your son-in-law!"
Father Su said confidently, "Ah Heng is not an outsider."
Su Heng pulled the corners of his mouth and lowered his head to eat, but the question in his heart was like a black hole with no bottom. The deeper he dug, the more terrified he became...
When he was about to get the answer, he was already afraid.
When she went back, Pei Fei repeatedly reminded her to come over often to drink the soup she made.
Su Heng got into the car, grabbed the steering wheel, and felt anxious.
The car stopped by the roadside and he got out to smoke.
If she really is.
He didn't dare to think about it and immediately cleared the thought from his mind! No matter what, this was impossible!
Zhou Rou was the wife of a wealthy family, and Pei Fei was an ordinary housewife. How could these two possibly have any connection? No, it was impossible! All of this was his mother's lies!
It was with this belief that he mustered up the courage to face reality.
In the afternoon, Chen Hao came to the CEO's office and sat down across from the desk. "Did you go home this morning?"
"Yeah." Su Heng didn't even raise his head. The whole office was filled with a low pressure.
Chen Hao raised his eyebrows, seeing that he was in a bad mood, but he smiled and leaned forward, "In a bad mood? Did you have a fight with Jiang Man?"
