Chapter 176 The Diamond Was Stolen by Jiang Lu
"Heh." Su Heng sneered, parked the car next to the convenience store, glanced at Jiang Man, and said, "I'm thirsty. Go buy me a bottle of water."
Jiang Man stared at him. Although he didn't understand why he was in a bad mood, he nodded obediently and got out of the car.
After Jiang Man's figure disappeared, Su Heng turned his head and fixed his sharp eyes on Jiang Lu.
Jiang Lu shuddered and moved awkwardly towards the window.
"I'll ask you again, where did those diamonds go?" He lowered his voice, his tone filled with unquestionable authority.
Jiang Lu clutched the car seat tightly, her eyes red as she looked at Su Heng with a pitiful look, "Boss Su..."
"Don't act pitiful in front of me. It won't work on me." Su Heng interrupted her mercilessly.
Jiang Lu bit her lip, lowered her head, closed her eyes, and admitted bluntly, "Those diamonds were stolen."
"Oh?" Su Heng responded thoughtfully, looking at Jiang Lu with eyes full of suspicion.
"The diamonds were still in my bag yesterday, but when I woke up this morning, they were gone." Jiang Lu looked nervous and didn't seem to be lying.
Su Heng nodded and said nothing more.
Jiang Lu suddenly grabbed Su Heng's sleeve and begged, "Mr. Su, please don't tell my sister. I know I was wrong and I will change." As she spoke, her tears flowed again.
"Let go." Su Heng looked at her hand with disgust and ordered coldly.
Jiang Lu let go of her hand in a daze, at a loss for a moment, not knowing how to impress Su Heng.
"I won't tell her about this, but do you think she really doesn't know anything?" Su Heng glanced at Jiang Lu, "You'll have to take care of yourself."
Jiang Man returned to the car. It was silent inside. Jiang Lu lowered her head and said nothing.
Jiang Man handed the water to Su Heng and said, "Drink it."
Su Heng took the water, unscrewed the cap, and took a sip. "Your cousin said she has some personal matters to attend to and needs to go back to your parents' house."
"Is that so?" Jiang Man blinked and looked at Jiang Lu in confusion.
Jiang Lu nodded quickly, "Sister, I'm getting off the bus. I'm going back to my uncle's house to get some clothes."
"Really?" Jiang Man looked at her suspiciously.
"Yeah!" Jiang Lu raised her head. "I'll call you when I get there."
After hearing Jiang Lu's assurance, Jiang Man finally felt relieved. "Okay then, be careful on the road."
"I understand." Jiang Lu nodded, opened the car door and hurried out of the car.
Jiang Man closed the car door, but he still couldn't help wondering why he suddenly wanted to go home?
She leaned forward slightly and asked in confusion, "What's wrong with her?"
"Maybe he has a change of heart." Su Heng replied indifferently.
He looked up at Jiang Man in the rearview mirror and said, "Jiang Man, you are deceiving yourself."
Jiang Man turned her head and looked at the scenery outside the window. She knew what he was talking about.
"I only have this one sister." She sighed, "I hope she can truly repent this time."
Su Heng shook his head, fearing that she would go too far.
When they returned home, Xuanxuan sat at the table with his eyes lowered, "Uncle Su..."
Su Heng looked at him like this, walked up to him and touched his head, "What's wrong?"
"Have you found those small stones?" Xuanxuan looked frustrated and very sad.
Su Heng sighed, breaking his promise for the first time, "I'm sorry, there's nothing I can do this time."
Xuanxuan sobbed, burying her head in Su Heng's arms, "Will grandma be very angry?"
Su Heng patted his back gently, "No, grandma won't be angry."
Jiang Man looked at the father and son, and his nose couldn't help but feel sore, and he felt very sorry for Madam Qin.
"Don't cry. After dinner, I will take you out to play." Su Heng comforted.
"Yeah." Xuanxuan responded gloomily.
Hearing this, Jiang Man turned and went into the kitchen and started preparing dinner.
Su Heng walked behind her and gently put his arm around her waist. "Why do you look unhappy?"
Jiang Man turned around and snuggled in Su Heng's arms, "I also feel very sorry for Madam Su." There was a hint of sob in her voice.
Su Heng frowned, held her face in his hands, and a tear just happened to fall.
"Don't cry," he said sternly.
"But..." Jiang Man's voice was hoarse, and she felt very uncomfortable. "I can't help it." There was a hint of coquettishness in her voice, and tears fell into Su Heng's palm.
Su Heng sighed helplessly, unable to do anything about her. He kissed her eyes gently and said, "Don't cry. It will be embarrassing for me if you go out with red and swollen eyes later."
Jiang Man smiled and glared at him coquettishly, "You are still in the mood to joke."
Seeing that her mood had improved, Su Heng pinched her cheek and said, "It doesn't matter if the things are lost. If you want it, I will buy it for you."
Jiang Man shook his head, "No, I just."
"I know you think they're precious because they were given to you by grandma. But other than that, they're just ordinary diamonds." Su Heng held her tightly in his arms. "Grandma won't blame you." He kissed her forehead. "Let's cook first. Do you want to starve me to death?"
Hearing this, Jiang Man couldn't help laughing, "You only know how to eat!"
"I can't help it." Su Heng spread his hands, "I still think it's not enough to eat." He licked Jiang Man's cheek, "I want to eat you more."
Jiang Man's cheeks flushed, and she quickly pushed him away, "Get out now, you'll disturb my cooking."
Su Heng shrugged lightly and walked out of the room.
After dinner, the three of them went out together. Xuanxuan looked here and there, full of curiosity about everything new around him.
They came to the famous local night market, where the hawkers' cries were heard one after another, making it very lively.
Jiang Man followed Su Heng closely, and the two walked side by side. "Do you feel bored here?" he asked softly.
The evening breeze blew gently, blowing Jiang Man's hair. She shook her head and said, "No."
"Don't worry, I will definitely find those things." He took Jiang Man's hand and comforted her.
The warmth of his palm was transmitted to Jiang Man's palm, making her feel inexplicably safe and secure. "Well, I believe you."
"Uncle Su, there's a claw machine game up ahead!" Xuanxuan excitedly ran to Su Heng and took his hand as he walked towards a stall.
Rows of adorable teddy bears lined the stalls. Not far away, a toy gun lay quietly. Su Heng turned to look at Jiang Man and whispered, "Which one do you want?"
Xuanxuan pouted and pointed at the brown teddy bear, "Uncle Su, I want that!"
Su Heng raised his eyebrows, held the toy gun in his hand, aimed at the target, and shot accurately at the brown teddy bear.
The stall owner looked at this scene in astonishment, picked up the knocked-over teddy bear, and handed it to Xuanxuan. Xuanxuan happily kissed Su Heng on the cheek.
