Chapter 235 Brother and Sister
Chapter 235 Brother and Sister
It was already late at night, and Jiang Man tiptoed into the bedroom.
Just as she quietly climbed onto the bed, the man next to her suddenly hugged her in his arms, "Why are you back so late?" His voice was a little stiff.
Jiang Man told him about her encounter with Bai Xue and Zheng Rui. After listening, Su Heng did not comment much, but sniffed her neck and asked, "Have you been drinking?"
Jiang Man quickly denied, "No."
"Then why do you smell like alcohol?"
"Of course you'll smell like alcohol if you go to a bar."
"No, I need to check." As soon as he finished speaking, he kissed her lips.
Jiang Man's eyes curved into crescent shapes. After a long while, Su Heng finally let her go. "You really didn't drink."
Jiang Man chuckled, "If you want to kiss me, just say so. Why make such a lame excuse?"
He raised an eyebrow, "Excuse?"
"Is not it?"
"Say it again?"
Feeling that he was teasing her on purpose, Jiang Man gave in and surrendered immediately, "No more, no more!"
Su Heng finally let her go with satisfaction. Jiang Man leaned in his arms and suddenly thought of Zheng Rui. She raised her head and said, "Ah Heng."
He responded lazily, "Hmm?"
"Do you know about Miss Zheng?"
"Zheng Rui?"
Jiang Man nodded, "Yes, it's her."
He half-closed his eyes and said, "I know a little bit."
"Then what's going on between her and that man?" The gossip fire in Jiang Man's heart was burning fiercely.
Su Heng spoke slowly: "The person you just saw was her brother."
Jiang Man was stunned for three seconds, "Brother? Brother?! Are they brother and sister?"
She thought it was impossible, this kind of relationship was simply taboo! !
Su Heng said, "The relationship within the Zheng family is much more complicated than we imagined. You can't figure it out with your little head."
Not wanting her to continue asking questions, Su Heng rubbed her head and said, "So, you should feel lucky that you will never encounter such a disaster with me. You should be content and love me even more."
Only then did Jiang Man realize that when Mr. Su became narcissistic, no one could match him.
Jiang Man opened her eyes hazily and saw Xuanxuan's face approaching. She was startled, "Xuanxuan? Why are you here?!"
Xuanxuan's big round eyes stared at Jiang Man, "Mom, can you accompany me to the library today?"
Jiang Man smiled, thinking it was no big deal, "Of course."
At this time, Su Heng pushed the door open and came in. He had just finished his morning exercise and looked refreshed.
Jiang Man quickly said, "Boss Su, can I take half a day off?"
"Approved, but I'll have to deduct half a day's salary." Su Heng said seriously as he walked over to Jiang Man and whispered, "Or we can compensate him in some other way."
Jiang Man's face instantly turned red to her ears. Xuanxuan came over curiously and asked in a baby voice, "Mom, why is your face red?"
Su Heng echoed from the side, "Yeah, with such a red face, she must be thinking of something embarrassing."
Jiang Man glared at him and said, "The child is here, don't talk nonsense!" Then he gently tapped Xuanxuan's head and said, "Go change your clothes quickly."
"Oh!" Xuanxuan ran out happily with his legs stepped forward.
The library was in a busy neighborhood nearby, and Jiang Man held Xuanxuan's hand and walked there.
After walking a few steps, a Rolls-Royce slowly stopped in front of them, the window slid down, revealing a childish face.
"Steady." Jiang Man saw who was coming and immediately greeted him.
"Sister Manman!" Wenwen responded slowly, with a calmness on his face that was not in line with his age.
Jiang Man opened his mouth, feeling something was wrong.
Xuanxuan pouted in dissatisfaction, complaining that all her mother's attention was attracted by Wenwen.
He deliberately slipped and fell into Jiang Man's arms, blinking and saying, "Mom, it hurts! Look at me, not him."
His poor acting skills made Wenwen's mouth twitch slightly, "Sister Manman, I have something urgent to do, so I'll leave first."
"Yeah, okay." Jiang Man nodded.
Looking at the Rolls-Royce driving away, Jiang Man frowned.
"Mom, why are you always staring at him?"
Her baby son's dissatisfied voice rang in her ears. Jiang Man picked up Xuanxuan and said, "No, I just feel that Wenwen today is a little different from usual."
"What's the difference?"
"can not say it clearly."
When he arrived at the library, Xuanxuan excitedly went to look for his favorite books.
Jiang Man stood in front of the bookshelf, flipping through it casually, and accidentally caught sight of a book called "Introduction to Archaeology". She paused and was about to pick it up, but a slender hand got there first and picked up the book.
She turned her head and saw that the man had fair skin, a pair of dark and deep eyes, thick eyebrows, a high nose bridge, and almost perfect lip shape, all of which revealed his noble temperament.
He glanced at Jiang Man and smiled politely, "Do you need this book too?"
Jiang Man shook his head, saying that a gentleman should not take away what others like. "I was just taking a look."
"Oh." The man nodded and asked again, "Are you interested in archaeology?"
"Yeah, I used to be obsessed with it."
"what about now?"
"Now? I read a book occasionally and reminisce about the past." After saying that, Jiang Man smiled faintly, picked up a book, and walked to the rest area not far away.
Pu Jing narrowed his eyes slightly, a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, he walked to her side, put the "Introduction to Archaeology" on the table, "This book is for you."
Jiang Man was stunned. "You don't want to watch it anymore?"
"Miss, if you don't take away someone's love, I will naturally learn to help others."
Jiang Man shook his head and chuckled, took the book and began to read it carefully.
After a while, the sound of a child crying was heard not far away. Jiang Man's thoughts of reading were interrupted, and she stood up and walked over there.
Xuanxuan ran to her with his short legs and hugged her thighs.
I saw a middle-aged woman dragging a child on the ground. The child was crying heart-wrenchingly and refused to get up.
Jiang Man frowned. Seeing that more and more people were watching, the woman apologized awkwardly, "The child is ignorant and disturbed everyone. I'm sorry, I'm sorry." After that, she pulled the child hard again.
The people watching the excitement gradually dispersed, and Jiang Man stood there, his brows furrowed tighter and tighter.
Pu Jing was standing aside and observing. Suddenly, Jiang Man flashed and stood in front of the child. "Little boy, don't cry." He reached out and wiped the tears from the child's face.
Miraculously, the child sobbed a few times and then stopped crying, looking at the woman with fear in his eyes.
The woman looked at Jiang Man with a smile on her face, "Miss, thank you so much." After saying that, she went to catch the child again.
The child shrank back. Jiang Man felt strange and hugged the child. "Little boy, is she your mother?"
As soon as she finished speaking, the child shook his head vigorously.
