Chapter 118 Who is the Evil Man?

Su Man also saw the principal and his group through the window.

She broke free from Xiao Beisheng's arms and wiped away her tears.

Xiao Beisheng naturally saw it as well, and his face immediately darkened.

The principal led his men to the door of the ward and knocked.

"Come in." Xiao Beisheng's voice was cold and hard.

The principal came in, immediately putting on a concerned look, and went straight to Su Man's bedside. "Teacher Su, we have understood what happened. We are deeply sorry that this happened..."

"There's no need to resort to all this bureaucratic rhetoric. The incident has already happened. Doesn't the school plan to come up with any countermeasures?"

Xiao Beisheng was imposing.

The principal choked and said, "Regarding Teacher Su's injury, the school will bear all medical expenses and subsequent costs. If Teacher Su needs to rest and recuperate, we will fully cooperate."

Xiao Beisheng said: "Principal, you know, these are not what I care about."

Lu Xiaomin lowered her head even lower.

Xiao Beisheng's gaze fell on her. "I heard that when the incident happened, Teacher Lu Xiaomin was with my wife, and a student witnessed it. It was Teacher Lu who pushed my wife down."

Lu Xiaomin flinched and quickly defended herself, "That's not the case. Teacher Su and I had a disagreement at the time. She tried to pull me first, and I was so excited that I pushed her away... I didn't use any force at all! I didn't expect her to fall backwards so quickly. I was shocked!"

After she finished speaking, she bowed to Su Man: "Teacher Su, no matter what, I'm sorry for hurting you!"

The principal also said, "Teacher Su, Mr. Xiao, we will also punish Teacher Lu by deducting the corresponding quarterly bonus. We are all colleagues, and I believe that Teacher Lu did not do it on purpose."

Lu Xiaomin shouted, "I really didn't mean it! Teacher Su, please forgive me!"

This concerted effort seems to be sincere.

It seems that if Suman doesn't forgive, then Suman would be too unkind.

But in fact, Lu Xiaomin's defense had another meaning. She hinted in her words that she did not push Su Man at all. It was Su Man who fell down by herself. Either Su Man was too weak, or Su Man was acting.

Su Man was thinking about how to respond when Xiao Beisheng spoke first:

"Teacher Lu, what you're saying is that you didn't push my wife, and that she fell on her own? So, those students are lying?"

"No... I just bumped into Teacher Su lightly. I don't know why she fell so hard..."

"Oh? You mean, my wife fell down on purpose and put the blame on you? She even got herself hurt just to put the blame on you?"

"I……"

Xiao Beisheng sneered, "Since Teacher Lu doesn't think it's his fault, why bother going to the hospital and pretending to apologize?"

Lu Xiaomin immediately panicked.

This Xiao Beisheng doesn't buy into the green tea trick!

Xiao Beisheng turned around and asked coldly, "Principal, is this the character and morality of the teachers in your school?"

The principal frowned, glanced at Lu Xiaomin, and signaled her not to say anything more.

The school leaders behind him were already sweating profusely.

Lu Xiaomin was almost crying.

Su Man wanted to laugh, but she held it back, suppressing the corners of her mouth that were curling up wildly.

Xiao Beisheng had played the villain, and it was now Su Man's turn. After all, Su Man was about to leave school, and it would not be good to make the situation too embarrassing.

She spoke at the right time: "I believe that when Teacher Lu pushed me, it was probably not intentional. She was just too emotional and pushed too hard, and she doesn't remember it herself."

With just a few words, Su Man confirmed the fact that Lu Xiaomin pushed someone.

Then, she tugged at Xiao Beisheng's sleeve and said in a consulting tone, "Beisheng, forget it. The principal is right. We are all colleagues. I haven't really had any major problems. Let's just make a big deal out of a small matter."

She was giving Xiao Beisheng a way out, and at the same time she acknowledged that Xiao Beisheng had helped her just now.

Xiao Beisheng could see through her trick. He looked at her red nose and eyes, pursed his lips and cooperated with her acting.

After hearing what Su Man said, the principal and the young leaders immediately breathed a sigh of relief.

They all praised Suman for her broad-mindedness and magnanimity.

Lu Xiaomin was not convinced, but she could only lower her head and accept, thanking Su Manken for forgiving her.

Just at this moment, Su Man saw a girl in professional attire running out of the corridor, panting.

The girl is dressed maturely, wearing a neat and formal professional dress. At first glance, she looks like a workplace elite.

But one look at her face—a youthful, timid expression, with clear eyes, similar to those of Su Man's students—provided Su Man knew it was the aura of someone who had spent a long time on campus. This girl was most likely a recent graduate, perhaps even just doing an internship, having just stepped foot into society.

When the girl saw Gao Xun, she felt like she had seen a savior. She ran to Gao Xun and handed him the information in her hand: "Assistant Gao, am I not too late?"

Gao Xun frowned and sighed: "Why did you come to the hospital? Don't you know how to fax?"

"The meeting is urgent, and you said that President Xiao was in a hurry to use the information. I was so anxious..."

"Okay, okay, I don't blame you. Be smarter next time."

"Okay, Assistant Gao."

The girl lowered her head to admit her mistake, then raised her head and looked into the ward inquiringly. When she looked, she met Su Man's gaze.

Su Man did not avoid it, and the girl's face immediately turned red and she immediately lowered her head.

Su Man twitched the corners of her mouth.

She had heard Gao Xun say before that all of Xiao Beisheng's assistants, from his special assistant to his secretaries and assistants, were men, and Xiao Beisheng was not used to working with women.

But now it seems that they hired a female secretary?

Moreover, with Xiao Beisheng's picky personality, he actually hired a newbie who had just graduated and had little work experience.

No matter how you think about it, it seems weird.

Looking closely, this girl is quite pretty, with a slim figure, which fits the aesthetic of fair, young and thin.

When did Xiao Beisheng start to like this hexagram?

Su Man looked at Xiao Beisheng. He seemed not to notice the movement in the corridor, but continued to talk to the principal.

The principal and his entourage did not stay for long. After expressing their condolences to Su Man again, they left.

Su Man was still thinking about the girl outside when Xiao Beisheng's voice came from above her head: "What's wrong? Are you feeling unwell?"

"No."

Xiao Beisheng raised his hand and supported Su Man's arm. Looking at her arm, his brows were almost twisted into a big lump.

Su Man followed his gaze and noticed that her arms, upper arms and lower arms, were covered with bruises of varying shades, some blue, some purple, which was quite shocking.

When Su Man arrived at the hospital, there were no bruises on her body. But after such a long time, her internal injuries were revealed.

"Ah! So ugly! Summer is almost here, how am I supposed to dress?"

"Oh, you still care about these things." Although Xiao Beisheng said he disliked her, his eyes staring at her showed his heartache. "Besides this, do you have anything else on you?"

He grabbed her arm and tried to give her a spot check.

Su Man stopped him: "Actually, it's just my back that hurts. The rest of my body hardly hurts anymore."

After saying that, she couldn't help but suddenly laughed.

Xiao Beisheng didn't know whether to laugh or cry: "You can still laugh?"

"I was thinking about how Lu Xiaomin was frightened by you just now and was almost crying. That look was completely different from her usual arrogant self. It really is true that 'evil will be punished by evil'."

Xiao Beisheng raised his eyebrows, approached her, and placed his hands on her sides. "Talk nicely, who is the bad guy?"
