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

Chapter 142 Bitten by a snake

Su Heng gave the carefully selected gift to Jiang's mother. Jiang's mother couldn't help but blame Jiang Man: "How could you let Mr. Su spend so much money?"

Jiang Man explained helplessly: "I told him not to buy it, but he just wouldn't listen and insisted on buying it."

"Then you should have stopped him!" Jiang's mother scolded.

Jiang Man pursed his lips and stood aside without saying anything.

Seeing her aggrieved look, she looked exactly like Xuanxuan who had been wronged. Su Heng couldn't help but chuckle.

Mother Jiang slapped her forehead and said, "Look at my memory! Mr. Su, please come in and sit for a while. I'll go cook. We must have dinner at home tonight!"

Su Heng smiled and nodded: "I won't leave even if you chase me away."

Mother Jiang said happily, "Okay, okay."

Then, she turned to Jiang Man and said, "Manman, go to the fish pond in the back mountain and ask your father to come back for dinner. He went fishing just as he was feeling better. When he comes back later, you have to talk to him for me."

Mother Jiang went into the kitchen, and Xuanxuan followed in curiously, "Grandma, let me help you!"

"Oh, my baby is so good." Mother Jiang touched Xuanxuan's head lovingly.

Su Heng glanced at Jiang Man, who was looking down at him, sulking like a child. He couldn't help but laugh again, then looked out the window. The weather was gloomy and it looked like it would rain at any moment.

"Go pick up your dad," he said. "Remember to bring an umbrella."

Jiang Man nodded, found an umbrella, and the two went out together.

The air here is much fresher than in the city, and the picturesque scenery makes people feel relaxed and happy. The two of them climbed up the back mountain together, where there was a dense bamboo forest. It was warm in winter and cool in summer, very pleasant.

"Isn't it nice here?" Jiang Man took a deep breath. It had been a long time since he had smelled the scent of his hometown.

Su Heng looked around and said, "It's really good."

Jiang Man said with a smile: "I often came here to play when I was a child. The bamboo shoots here are especially delicious. By the way, do you like bamboo shoots? If you like, I can make them for you in the future."

At this point, she felt something was wrong and quickly explained, "Just consider it as a thank you gift for helping me so many times."

Su Heng raised the corner of his lips and said slowly, "This kind of thanks doesn't seem to be very sincere."

Jiang Man muttered to himself, "Businessman's nature," and turned to look at him, "Then what kind of thanks do you think is sincere?"

The light in Su Heng's eyes began to grow hotter. "I want..." He leaned close to her ear and said in a hoarse voice, "You."

Jiang Man's eyes widened, and his ears instantly turned red. "Why do you say that?"

Suddenly, a flash of lightning split the gloomy sky, illuminating half the sky.

Jiang Man's face turned pale, and she threw herself into Su Heng's arms without thinking. Su Heng happily opened his arms and held her body firmly, while secretly despising her cowardice.

After realizing his own gaffe, Jiang Man immediately jumped up, straightened his hair and clothes, and smiled awkwardly: "That lightning was quite scary. It looks like it's going to rain soon."

Su Heng raised his eyebrows. "Is that so? Didn't you say lightning was scary just to take advantage of me?"

Jiang Man looked at him speechlessly. For a moment, she felt that people with high IQs were really annoying.

She turned around and was about to leave when Su Heng suddenly shouted from behind her, "Don't move!"

Jiang Man was stunned, turned around and asked in confusion: "What's wrong?"

I couldn't help but wonder: What does this guy want to do?

"Listen to me, don't move, now." Su Heng frowned slightly, stepped forward cautiously, his eyes fixed on a spot at her feet.

A snake suddenly appeared there, silent but frightening.

"What's wrong?" Jiang Man glanced down and screamed, "Ah——"

At the same time, a sudden sharp pain came from the ankle.

Su Heng reacted quickly, taking several steps at a time, accurately pinching the snake's vital point, quickly pulling it away, and then throwing it aside.

At this moment, the drizzle was falling quietly. Jiang Man sat on the ground, and the pain in her ankle made her sweat coldly.

Su Heng hurried forward to check her injuries, and saw that red plum-like blood had seeped out of Jiang Man's ankle.

He secretly breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, the blood was red, which meant that the poison might not be strong.

He frowned and looked around, and happened to find a cave that could take shelter from the rain. Without hesitation, he picked up Jiang Man and quickly entered the cave to avoid the rain.

Jiang Man looked at him pitifully, "Su Heng, am I going to die?"

He glared at her: "Don't let your imagination run wild!"

"Don't try to comfort me. There are often poisonous snakes here. Dad warned me before not to come to the back mountain, but I just didn't listen."

As she spoke, Jiang Man's tears rolled down like beads from a broken string.

"I'm still so young. If I die, what will happen to Xuanxuan? Wouldn't he become a motherless child?"

Su Heng rubbed his swollen temples, looked at her, reached out to gently roll up her trouser legs, and then bent down.

Jiang Man was shocked, "What are you going to do?"

"I'm treating your wound." He answered calmly.

"No! You'll get poisoned too!" She cried even harder. "That's how it's played out in TV dramas. It's called a life for a life."

Su Heng suddenly grasped her hand, his eyes firm, his voice low and serious: "For you, I am willing."

Jiang Man looked at him, and at this moment, her heart was filled with emotion.

Su Heng nodded vigorously, then leaned over and gently covered her ankle with his lips.

Jiang Man groaned. He sucked a little too hard, causing her to gasp in pain. Her eyes moistened again. "Don't do this, or you'll get poisoned too."

After a moment, he raised his head, with a faint trace of blood on his lips, which made him look quite charming.

Realizing what he was thinking, Jiang Man couldn't help but shudder.

She is about to die, why is she still thinking about this?

At this time, Su Heng touched his forehead, frowned, and shook his head, "I feel dizzy."

Jiang Man became nervous. "Is the snake venom acting up?" She was about to cry again. "I told you not to do this. If you don't listen, and if you die, won't I feel guilty for the rest of my life?"

Su Heng raised his head, his eyes gradually becoming blurry. "Rather than losing my life, I would rather do something else now."

She looked at him with tearful eyes, "What?"

He narrowed his eyes, held her head, and kissed her lips in an instant.

Jiang Man's eyes widened and her breathing became rapid. He was coming at her aggressively, and she grabbed his collar, not knowing what to do for a moment.

"Su Heng, you, it's already this late."

Su Heng bit her earlobe, a slight smile on his lips, and kissed her from top to bottom, mumbling: "Oh no, this snake is so poisonous that it has made me lose my mind."
