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

Chapter 113 Asking for Diamonds

Jiang Man's heart tightened and he was speechless for a moment.

"Are you married again?"

"You got married without telling your parents?"

Jiang's mother happened to walk over and was stunned when she heard this. "Manman, are you married?"

Jiang Man was too weak to argue, nor did he want to lie anymore. He pursed his lips and nodded, "Yes."

Jiang's father stared at her. Jiang Man lowered her head, expecting a scolding, but her father just sighed and said, "Let's go."

Su Heng returned, having already arranged his hospitalization and other matters. He was admitted to one of the hospital's top private rooms, which at first glance looked like he had stumbled into a high-end hotel. The nurse casually mentioned that even booking such a room months in advance might not guarantee a reservation. The Jiang family's parents exchanged a glance, already making a decision.

Before leaving, the nurse said goodbye to Su Heng politely: "Mr. Su, if you need anything, you can come to me directly."

"Yeah." Su Heng responded calmly.

Father Jiang looked at his wife, who understood and walked forward with a smile on her face. "Mr. Su, I was so busy just now that I didn't have time to thank you properly."

Su Heng said calmly, "Auntie, you are too polite."

"Are you and Jiang Man colleagues?" Jiang's mother asked tentatively.

After a brief thought, Su Heng replied, "I'm her boss."

Hearing him repeat what he had said verbatim, Jiang Man's cheeks flushed slightly.

"Oh, it's Manman's boss!" Jiang's mother turned to look at her husband, then turned back and said, "Our Jiang Man has never been a particularly bright student since he was young. If there's anything he doesn't do well, I'll have to trouble you to bear with me."

Jiang Man's face turned even redder, and she interrupted anxiously: "Mom! Please just talk about business, don't bring up my studies!"

Mother Jiang glared at her. "How can you keep this a secret? You're so slow-witted, do you think your boss can't see through it?"

Father Jiang also nodded slowly, seeming to agree with his wife's statement.

Jiang Man put his hand on his forehead, where his heart was beating violently.

Su Heng glanced at Jiang Man, his eyebrows twitching slightly, his voice still flat: "Auntie, I understand. I always treat my subordinates who are a little slow to react equally."

Upon hearing this, Father Jiang nodded repeatedly, and his eyes were full of admiration when he looked at Su Heng.

Jiang Man looked up at Su Heng, afraid that they would talk about something else, and hurried forward to tug at his sleeve, "Mom and Dad, Mr. Su is very busy, let's not waste his time, I'll take him out first."

Su Heng glanced at Jiang Man from the corner of his eye and said, "Hmm," "Uncle and aunt, today is too hasty. I'll treat you better another day."

Mother Jiang smiled from ear to ear, and she found Su Heng more and more pleasing to the eye. "Okay, then I'll trouble you, Mr. Su."

Su Heng understood the meaning of the word "trouble" and raised the corner of his lips slightly, "It's not a trouble."

Jiang Man dragged Su Heng out of the ward. In the corridor, she narrowed her eyes and glared at him, "Why did you let my parents misunderstand you?"

Su Heng put his hands in his pockets and walked forward, "Can stating the facts be considered a misunderstanding?"

Remembering something, he suddenly turned around and asked, "Does your head still hurt?"

Jiang Man quickly shook his head, "It doesn't hurt."

Su Heng reached out and gently tapped her forehead.

Jiang Man cried out in pain and glared at him, "What are you doing?"

Su Heng was calm and composed, "Didn't you say it didn't hurt?"

Jiang Man gritted his teeth, this was clearly revenge!

Su Heng insisted on accompanying her for a checkup, and after confirming that she was fine, the two left the hospital.

Before I knew it, night fell and the sky had already darkened.

Jiang Man received a call from his cousin and asked about her location.

"I'm near the hospital." She replied, told her cousin the address of the hospital, and asked her to take a taxi there herself.

Su Heng asked her, "Are you hungry?"

Jiang Man nodded honestly. She didn't even have time to eat dinner before rushing over.

The two found a restaurant near the hospital.

Seeing that Jiang Man didn't eat much, Su Heng glanced at her and suddenly said, "I think you are quite thin."

Jiang Man raised his head and said, "Skinny beauty is popular now."

He looked disgusted and said, "She's quite skinny, but I didn't notice her beauty."

Jiang Man curled his lips, as if he would feel uncomfortable if he didn't scold her a few words.

After a while, she said, "Thank you for Professor Chen's matter."

She knew that he had helped her find it, and she felt so grateful that she couldn't express it in words.

He lowered his head and continued eating, "You're welcome."

I returned to the hospital with my packed dinner and saw Jiang Lu as soon as I reached the gate.

Seeing the tall and handsome Su Heng beside Jiang Man, Jiang Lu was stunned, "Sister, who is this..."

This man has an extraordinary temperament and is well-dressed. It is obvious that he is not an ordinary person. Maybe the diamond found in Jiang Man’s house was given by this man!

Jiang Man smiled awkwardly, "He is."

Su Heng glanced at her with a warning in his eyes. Jiang Man coughed lightly and asked vaguely, "Xiaolu, where have you been all day? Have you eaten?"

"Sister..." Jiang Lu bit her lip and lowered her head, "I have something I want to tell you."

"what's up?"

Jiang Lu's eyes were red. "I...I was confused for a moment and took something from you, but I really didn't mean to do it."

Jiang Man looked at Jiang Lu blankly, "What diamond?"

"It's... it's..." Jiang Lu bit her lip tightly and glanced at Jiang Man with fear in her eyes, "It's the diamond you hid."

"Diamonds?" Jiang Man blinked, looking confused. "What diamonds?"

"It's the diamond in your piggy bank!" Jiang Lu said it out loud with a hard heart.

"Piggy bank?" Jiang Man's eyes widened, his confusion deepening. "Where did the diamonds come from in the piggy bank?"

Jiang Lu's face fell and tears fell, "Sister, why are you still pretending to be confused?" She covered her face and sobbed.

"When I went to your house that day, I accidentally saw the diamond. I was obsessed with money and just..." Her eyes were red and she looked so miserable.

Jiang Man lowered his eyes slightly. That piggy bank was Xuanxuan's treasure. He said he would save enough money to buy a big house for his mother.

Jiang Lu hesitated, biting her lip, at a loss, "I thought the diamond was fake, so I took it to someone to appraise it."

"In the end..." Jiang Lu pretended to wipe away tears. "In the end, that person got greedy and contacted some gang members. He insisted that I stole it and wanted me to pay more to redeem it, otherwise he would call the police. Isn't this obviously blackmailing me!"

"Sister, you must help me." Jiang Lu wiped her tears and looked at Jiang Man with a twitching face.

Jiang Man felt that her cousin must have misunderstood. How could her family have diamonds? She glanced at Su Heng beside her. It was really embarrassing to make such a joke in front of him.

Seeing Jiang Man silent, Jiang Lu wiped her tears, grabbed her, and said anxiously: "Sister, as long as you give me the diamond, everything will be fine."
