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

Chapter 303: Door-to-Door Confrontation

She gently tugged at Su Heng's sleeve and said, "I'd better go out and wait for you."

He frowned and was about to refuse, but was interrupted by Jiang Man: "We are all adults. There is no need to prove anything to each other like children."

There were footsteps in the kitchen. Jiang Man stood on tiptoe, quickly kissed him on the cheek, and then walked out without looking back.

Su Heng looked at her departing back with a frown on his face.

"Heng," Ding Xin came out with a freshly baked pancake and looked at him with a smile on her face. "I remember this was your favorite dessert. I made it especially for you."

Su Heng slowly turned his head and looked directly at her: "I came here to ask you if you said anything to Jiang Man this morning."

"Jiang Man has already told you." There was a hint of bitterness in Ding Xin's smile.

He stared at her and asked, "What should she tell me?"

"Didn't I tell you? Haha, you're really patient." Ding Xin put the muffin on the table and smiled faintly, "Yes, I saw her at noon."

Su Heng's expression darkened even more: "I told you not to involve her in anything."

Ding Xin turned her back to him and the smile on her face gradually disappeared.

She raised her head and slowly turned around: "Heng, are you here to stand up for her? Just because I met her?"

"You and I both know that your motive for meeting her is definitely not pure."

"Oh, so, in your heart, I'm a bad woman?"

Su Heng frowned and said, "Ding Xin, stop making trouble. You are not a child anymore."

"Why can't I?" Ding Xin was a little excited and laughed exaggeratedly, "Didn't you say that you wanted me to be your little girl for the rest of my life?"

"That's all in the past." Su Heng turned sideways, avoiding her sight, his tone revealing fatigue. "I know you've sacrificed a lot for me, and I will do my best to make up for it. Whatever you want, I can help you achieve it."

"I don't want anything but you."

Ding Xin walked forward, put her arms around his waist, pressed her cheek against his back, and said softly, "Heng, you're the only one left in my world. If you don't want me anymore, what's the point of me living?"

He turned around, frowned and scolded: "Don't talk nonsense."

"it is true."

Ding Xin's eyes were as gentle as water, and her white fingers gently stroked his face: "Ah Heng, I can't live without you, I really can't, don't do this to me."

Su Heng grabbed her hand, slowly moved it away from his face, looked directly into her eyes, and spoke word by word, "I've made it very clear about our relationship. It's true that I owe you, but that wasn't my original intention. So, I won't use my current happiness as compensation for this."

Ding Xin stared at him for a long time and smiled bitterly: "How heartless."

She sat down and glanced at him with her beautiful eyes: "Don't you want to know what I said to her today?"

Su Heng stared at her, quite determined about the answer.

Ding Xin took out a file bag from under the coffee table and placed it on the table. "Take a look for yourself."

Su Heng picked up the file bag in confusion, and his expression froze instantly when he saw the contents inside.

Ding Xin said softly, "I didn't want to tell you this secret, but I can't watch my son grow up without a father."

The document slammed onto the table.

Ding Xin was startled and looked up at him.

Su Heng stared at her expressionlessly: "I only knew you were a star, but I didn't expect your acting skills were so superb."

"Heng, what do you mean? Don't you believe me?"

"I don't believe it at all."

Su Heng also sat down, glaring at her with eyes filled with disappointment and anger, his tone as cold as before, "Based on my understanding of you, if this child really existed, why would you wait until today to tell me?"

Ding Xin was choked by his words and was speechless, but she quickly retorted, "People change, and I'm no exception! What's more, even the person who claimed to love me forever has changed his heart, so how can I expect others to remain unchanged?!"

He nodded: "You have changed. You have started to do whatever it takes to achieve your goals."

Ding Xin was completely heartbroken by his words and stood up suddenly. "I will do whatever it takes? That's right, I will do whatever it takes! That's also for survival! Otherwise, what do you want me to do? After being toyed with by another man, I will return to your arms and cry for your forgiveness?"

Her words made Su Heng fall into silence.

Ding Xin covered her face with her hands and burst into tears. "The child is yours. I kept it a secret because I didn't want you to know about that humiliating past. I admit that I still hoped we could rekindle our old love, instead of exposing all the scars in front of you like this."

Su Heng stared at her with a complicated look in his eyes.

"Aheng, after all, we once loved each other deeply. In your heart, how could I be the kind of woman who would use a child to blackmail you? DNA technology is so advanced now that the truth can be known with just one test. How could I be so stupid as to use such a clumsy lie?" Ding Xin looked up and questioned, leaving Su Heng speechless for a moment.

Indeed, if there really is such a child, DNA testing will reveal the truth, needless to say.

Su Heng knew it very well. The reason he did not take immediate action was that he was afraid of the tiny possibility.

Jiang Man waited quietly in the car. Time passed by minute by minute. His originally uneasy heart calmed down again the moment he saw Su Heng walk out.

He slowly approached and after getting into the car, Jiang Man asked softly, "Is everything settled?"

He didn't respond and subconsciously reached for the cigarette in his pocket.

At that moment, Jiang Man vaguely guessed something and his heart sank to the bottom again.

She began to get tired of this feeling. Her emotions always fluctuated with others, and she seemed to be about to lose herself.

Without asking any more questions, she leaned back in her chair and said softly, "Go back."

Su Heng held the cigarette but did not light it. He withdrew his gaze from the villa and gradually became depressed.

On the way back, the two were silent, not knowing where to start or what to say.

As they approached home, Jiang Man called and asked Grandma Yang to pick up Xuanxuan from the kindergarten, saying that she had some things to take care of. Su Heng, who was standing by, heard the deep meaning in her words.

"There's a new coffee shop nearby with a nice atmosphere. Let's go sit down." Jiang Man suggested calmly.

After a moment of silence, Su Heng nodded and agreed: "Okay."

The coffee shop was nearby, on the same street. After parking the car, Jiang Man was the first to enter.

The two of them sat in a corner, which was very secluded because there were no windows.

An orange chandelier overhead cast a soft light, making Jiang Man's face seem somewhat unreal.

It wasn't until the waiter brought the coffee that she spoke softly, "You've heard about the child, right?"
