Chapter 304 Catharsis
Chapter 304 Catharsis
Su Heng's eyes were still deep, as if he could see into the endless night. He stared at her and suddenly said, "Whether this child exists or not, I will not give up on you."
He understood what she meant, and no matter what choice she made, it was all reasonable. But that didn't mean he would let go easily and let fate take his course!
Jiang Man smiled bitterly, stirring the coffee in the cup, round and round, and said calmly: "Xuanxuan is a child without a father. I know how it feels."
So, Ding Xin was right, she had no reason to occupy someone else's father.
Su Heng stared at her straight in the eyes, his tone becoming increasingly cold: "Jiang Man, you are forcing me to accept a fault that is not mine. Is this fair? I certainly owe Ding Xin, but do I have to repay her in this way?"
Jiang Man was speechless for a moment.
Su Heng was right. He had been completely unaware of the incident from the beginning to the end. Now, asking him to abandon everything to repay the debt he had incurred was indeed unfair. But life is often like this; most things don't go as planned.
She shook her head and whispered, "Even if we're together, we'll never be able to get rid of the fact that Ding Xin and that child exist. Ah Heng, I don't want to live in the shadow of owing others."
"Damn it! I owe it, what does it have to do with you?" Su Heng was really angry, staring at her with fiery eyes.
Seeing him like this, Jiang Man also felt a surge of anger in his heart: "Why are you so fierce? As if I did something wrong."
"That's my fault?" Su Heng asked sharply, "You all come to me to ask for results, so who should I ask for an explanation?"
He stood up suddenly, took out some money from his pocket, put it on the table, and turned to leave.
Just after taking a few steps, I heard Jiang Man's voice: "Waiter! Check out!"
"Um, your total spending..."
"Each one pays for himself!"
"Okay, wait a minute."
Su Heng stopped and turned to glare at her. Jiang Man glared back, not to be outdone.
He is innocent, but so is she?
The waiter quickly ran over and handed the remaining money to Su Heng, "Sir, this is your change."
Su Heng happened to see a donation box and threw all the money into it. "Instead of inviting a cold-blooded woman to drink coffee, it would be better to pay more attention to the children who have no education."
The waiter thanked us repeatedly.
Jiang Manyi was angry and walked over and stuffed all the money in his wallet into it, "As if you are the only one with a kind heart!"
Su Heng's face turned gloomy and he turned and left.
"Miss, on behalf of these children, thank you."
Touched by the sincere gratitude, Jiang Man felt embarrassed instead. Her original intention of being angry made her feel that she was not qualified to accept it.
She walked out of the coffee shop quickly and saw Su Heng standing across the street, smoking a cigarette. His deep eyes were fixed on her amidst the smoke. Jiang Man pretended not to see him and walked straight towards the residential complex.
"boarding."
"No need." Jiang Man replied without turning his head: "It's not like I don't know the way home."
Su Heng took a deep breath, stomped out the cigarette, strode over, grabbed her collar from behind and pulled her back.
"You——" Jiang Man was extremely angry and staggered a few steps after being dragged by him, "Su Heng, let go!"
He stuffed her into the car and slammed the door shut. He walked around to the other side and got in, glancing at her sideways: "I let you go, and then what?"
Jiang Man glared at him, turned around and tried to pull the car door. After a few clicks, the door was locked and she couldn't open it no matter how hard she pushed.
Jiang Man was furious and turned to glare at him, "Are you still being unreasonable? I didn't do anything wrong, why are you treating me like this?"
As she spoke, her eyes turned red, her legs curled up, and she huddled into the chair, burying her cheek between her legs, her shoulders trembling slightly.
When Su Heng looked at her like this, his anger suddenly disappeared.
He frowned and asked, "I didn't do anything to you, why are you crying?"
"Leave me alone!" Her voice was filled with tears.
"Jiang Man, who of us is being unreasonable?" Su Heng looked at her expression, feeling a bit amused and helpless. "I didn't say a single harsh word, let alone scold you, and you're still feeling wronged!"
"Why can't I just accept it? Everything was fine, and then suddenly my first love showed up, and you left just for her, leaving me alone in the bridal shop. Do you know how those staff members looked at me at that time?"
As if to vent her emotions, she blurted out, "Where were you when I was sick at night? Weren't you with her? Now you have a child, how can I understand your relationship? I want to let go and fulfill your wishes. Is that wrong? Su Heng, I get tired too. I don't want to be at your mercy anymore, going from heaven to hell!"
She finally roared it all out, and her chest suddenly felt empty. In this small compartment, her voice still echoed.
There was no sound from the other side, only Jiang Man was sobbing quietly.
After a long time, a long sigh was heard.
Then, she was completely embraced in his arms.
Su Heng hugged her tightly, his face full of indelible self-blame.
He rested his chin on the top of her head, his eyes full of pity: "I'm sorry, it's my fault."
Jiang Man was stunned for a moment, and then tears flowed more and more like a flood.
She was no longer a little girl, nor was she at the age where she would be sad because of a word in love, but she was still moved by his words of comfort.
Jiang Man understood that he was her calamity.
Su Heng didn't say anything else, just patted her back gently, as if he was coaxing a child.
Jiang Man had cried enough, so she pushed him gently and kept her head down, not wanting him to see her current appearance.
Su Heng looked at her silently and said, "I just thought that as long as I was with you, it was enough. No matter what happened, I didn't care. Now it seems that I have indeed overlooked a lot."
Jiang Man slowly raised her head, her eyes were red and swollen, but her eyes were moist and bright from crying, which was heart-warming.
After staring at him for a long time, she said, "Heng, if she..."
He understood before she finished speaking.
Su Heng held her hand tightly and said, "I will first check this matter. If. If she really has my child."
He didn't say the rest, but she knew his decision.
The child is innocent. How has Xuanxuan lived these years? Jiang Man can't understand? If Ding Xin and Su Heng really have a child, she knows that Su Heng will definitely be responsible.
Jiang Man lowered his eyes. "You and Ding Xin were once seriously in love. You can try to start over."
Su Heng suddenly tightened his grip on her hand, staring at her with a frightening look, "Jiang Man, are you confused?"
