Chapter 347: Learning that Jiang Man went abroad
Father Jiang looked at him and said nothing in the end.
Su Heng got into the car and immediately took out his cell phone to call Lin Ze. He said hurriedly, "Lin Ze, check this license plate immediately!"
When the housekeeper came to announce that Su Heng had arrived, Pu Caiwei was not surprised. He took off his glasses slowly and placed them gently on the table. Then he stood up slowly and walked downstairs to the living room with steady steps.
When he saw Su Heng, he smiled slightly and said, "It's so late, what brings you here?"
Su Heng's face was terribly gloomy. Without any politeness, he asked directly: "Uncle Pu, I just want to ask, where is Jiang Man?"
"Oh, you just realized she's missing now? Isn't it a little too late?" Pu Caiwei said slowly, which undoubtedly admitted that he was the one who sent someone to pick Jiang Man up.
When Su Heng heard this, he stood up suddenly, his eyes full of anger, and asked, "Why did you do this?"
Pu Caiwei raised his head, looked at him calmly, and said with a smile: "I am really wronged. This was all because of that girl begging me."
"Jiang Man?" Su Heng's face was full of disbelief, his brows tightly furrowed.
Pu Caiwei continued, "Before you came looking for someone in the middle of the night, why didn't you ask yourself what you did to make that girl so sad?"
Su Heng frowned and said firmly: "I didn't do anything!"
"Are you sure?" Pu Caiwei asked back.
"I'm sure!" Su Heng emphasized again.
Pu Caiwei smiled, then shook his head slightly. "Haha, that's strange. You didn't do anything, yet she'd rather abandon her son than run away from you?" He raised his gaze slightly, looking indifferently at Su Heng, and continued, "Ah Heng, I've watched you grow up, and I've always thought highly of you. But I can't help you with this matter."
Su Heng suppressed his inner emotions, his expression suppressed. He was trying hard to control himself, not wanting to lose control in front of this elder he had always respected. He took a deep breath, tried to keep his tone calm, and said, "Uncle Pu, I'm sincere to Jiang Man. I just want to find her and clear up the misunderstanding between us! If you also want her good, you should tell me where she is!"
Pu Caiwei raised an eyebrow, propped up his chin with one hand, looked at him with interest, and asked casually, "Ah Heng, do you really understand that girl?"
Su Heng frowned, as if he didn't understand what he meant.
Pu Caiwei then asked, "Then do you know what her work ability is like?"
Su Heng was stunned, as if he realized something.
"Then have you ever considered how insignificant she would seem next to a radiant man like you? The media used to make a big fuss about her ordinariness, devaluing her as worthless."
As Su Heng listened, his brows furrowed even more tightly, but he fell silent.
"You just think you did nothing wrong and that you're sincere to her, but you haven't considered her perspective. She's willing to be ordinary for you." Pu Caiwei continued, "I've seen her previous planning proposals. I've carefully reviewed every one of them. They're excellent, with many unique ideas. But the strange thing is, no one noticed, and she herself never considered pursuing them."
Pu Caiwei looked at him and said earnestly, "As a man, you let your woman be content with mediocrity; as a leader, you let your employees bury their talents. These are all derelictions of duty on your part."
Su Heng was speechless and could only listen quietly.
"It's true that I gave her a chance. This girl has always been special in my eyes." Seeing Su Heng's sudden questioning look, Pu Caiwei smiled: "What are you thinking? I said special because this girl looks a lot like the woman I loved deeply. Of course, she is no longer with us. I can only find some of her shadow in this girl, which can be regarded as a place to express my longing."
At this point, Pu Caiwei sighed and continued, "I don't want you to follow my old path, always taking her love for granted and never truly appreciating her. In the end, all you have left is regret."
Su Heng sat down slowly, his face looking a little solemn.
Pu Caiwei added, "If you listen to me, let her study there for a while, and you can focus on handling things here. Don't forget, Zhou Rou is capable of anything! If you try to deal with her, she'll definitely take it out on Manman."
Su Heng frowned and said nothing, as if he was thinking about Pu Caiwei's words.
"And." Pu Caiwei looked at him and said slowly: "Although she didn't say anything, she must have misunderstood you."
Su Heng looked up suddenly. What Pu Caiwei said was exactly what he was most worried about. Otherwise, given Jiang Man's personality, he would never be so decisive, as if forcing himself to make a break! Suddenly, he thought of something and blurted out, "Could it be..."
Pu Caiwei looked at him deeply and said, "No matter what the reason is, I can see that the girl is determined to change her current living conditions. I don't think there is anything wrong with that."
"Mr. Pu, why do I feel that you support her doing this?" Su Heng asked doubtfully.
"Haha." Pu Caiwei laughed and said, "To be honest, maybe others think that girl is marrying above her station, but in my eyes, you are not worthy of her! So, of course I have to make you suffer a little! Otherwise, how would you know how to cherish such a good woman? Even if there is no misunderstanding now, it will happen sooner or later. Might as well let you have enough this time!"
Su Heng's face was cold, and he was very angry at Pu Caiwei's words. He asked, "Just tell me, how did I offend you?"
Pu Caiwei shrugged and smiled, saying, "You can understand it as a father's feeling. No matter how outstanding a man is, he always feels unworthy of his daughter. That's how I feel."
Su Heng really had nothing to say.
After a long while, Pu Caiwei stood up, walked over, patted him on the shoulder, and said, "Rather than saying I'm helping you, it's better to say I'm helping myself. Just think of it as making up for the regret in my heart."
When Su Heng went back, he drove very slowly all the way.
Pu Caiwei's words kept echoing in his mind, and he felt mixed emotions. He was anxious and guilty about Jiang Man's departure, and he was also confused and bewildered about the future.
The car slowly drove onto the bridge and stopped steadily at the edge of the bridge. Su Heng reached out and pushed open the car door, his movements a little slow, as if he was being dragged by something heavy.
He took out a cigarette box from his pocket, took out a cigarette, and with a "click", he skillfully lit it with a lighter.
Then, he walked to the bridge railing with heavy steps, leaned forward slightly, put his hands on the railing, and looked straight at the gurgling river under the bridge.
