Chapter 135: Addicted to Acting

Su Man's prediction was correct. She and Xiao Beisheng met several industry leaders in succession.

Some of them are elders of Madam Xiao's generation, and they have high fame, reputation and status.

Xiao Beisheng had to give enough face and toast.

However, Su Man was very good at socializing. Xiao Beisheng took the lead. After a few greetings, the topic was unknowingly led by Su Man. Su Man controlled the rhythm and was in control of the whole situation. Naturally, after Xiao Beisheng took the first sip of wine, he didn't need to accompany her to drink frequently afterwards.

After meeting three groups of people in a row, Su Man finally saw them again after taking a break.

She took a deep breath and was about to gather her spirit to fight again when Xiao Beisheng suddenly pulled her up and walked in the opposite direction.

He walked so fast that Suman could hardly keep up with him.

The two of them quickly passed by the crowd of people and finally stopped in a remote corner of the banquet hall.

"What's wrong? So sudden, did you see someone?" Su Man asked breathlessly.

After she asked, she widened her eyes and asked worriedly, "Are you feeling unwell? Can't hold on any longer?"

Xiao Beisheng chuckled, pulled her into his arms, and pecked her on the red lips. "Thanks to you, I can hold on a little longer tonight."

Su Man breathed a sigh of relief. "Why is that? That was the director of Honglin Pharmaceuticals and a close friend of the Xiao family. Logically, we should have gone up to greet him."

"You feel sorry for me, so I have to feel sorry for you too."

"What's going on..."

"Mrs. Xiao worked very hard tonight. I can see that. It's not that you don't care about me. On the contrary, you get anxious if I drink one more sip of wine."

Su Man choked.

She hadn't thought about it that much. Looking back now, she was indeed a little nervous that Xiao Beisheng would be forced to drink.

Xiao Beisheng coaxed her: "We have already dealt with the people we need to deal with tonight. The remaining people all need to consider Xiao's face. You can take a break and go to the garden lawn at the back to get some fresh air."

What Xiao Beisheng said was also true.

Most of the remaining people had to look at Xiao Beisheng's face. If Xiao Beisheng had any requests, they would not complain.

Su Man thought about it and agreed: "Okay, you can do it yourself. In twenty minutes or half an hour, we will go home."

"Okay." The tenderness in Xiao Beisheng's eyes could drown people. Su Man fled in panic under his gaze.

Su Man went to the back garden alone.

Only then did she understand why Xiao Beisheng asked her to come here, with its broad view and pleasant scenery.

The most important thing is that not many people come here, it is very quiet, suitable for her to relax.

She asked the waiter for a mojito and sat down on a lounge chair by the fountain.

But things don't always go as planned.

Not long after he was quiet, a shadow fell at Su Man's feet.

"Madam, since you know that you are Mr. Xiao's wife, why don't you worry about his health?"

Mu Chuchu's ghost lingered, standing beside Su Man, her eyes filled with resentment, as if she was a widow who died unjustly in her previous life.

Su Man lay on the chair, slightly turned her face, fixed her eyes on Mu Chuchu, and asked slowly, "What is the connection between you and Bei Sheng?"

"What?"

"You care about Bei Sheng so much, isn't it just because he's been so kind to you? Tell me, what other relationship is there between you two that makes you so obsessed with him?"

"I...I didn't."

"Xiao Mu, the students I have at school are all girls around your age. I've been through the same thing myself, so I know exactly what you're thinking."

"Mr. Xiao is very outstanding and brilliant. I believe that not only me, but many people in the company admire Mr. Xiao..."

Mu Chuchu had no confidence at all, and twisted her fingers together, almost into a twist.

Su Man got up from the recliner and didn't continue the topic: "It's almost time. I'll go see if Beisheng has finished. You and Gao Xun get ready. We can go back now."

She walked across the lawn in front of her, heading towards the banquet hall.

It had just rained and the lawn was muddy. Suman was wearing eight-centimeter high heels and her body was a little unstable as she stepped on the soft lawn.

For a moment, Suman stopped.

She was checking the hem of her skirt.

A few drops of mud splashed on her satin high heels and the hem of her skirt was also wet.

Mu Chuchu caught up with her and said, "Madam, let me help you walk."

"Need not."

"Your shoes are dirty!"

Mu Chuchu ignored Su Man's attempt to stop her and knelt down to wipe the dirt off Su Man's high heels.

She was also wearing a dress, and it got dirty when she knelt down, but Mu Chuchu didn't seem to care at all. Her attention was all on Su Man's shoes. She carefully wiped the uppers of Su Man's shoes with her clean hands.

Suman was startled by her sudden action.

Su Man really didn't expect Mu Chuchu to be like this.

"Hurry up and get up. There's no need to do this."

Su Man bent down and tried to help Mu Chuchu up, but before her hand touched Mu Chuchu, Mu Chuchu suddenly fell to the side.

It looked as if he had been pushed down by Su Man.

Originally, only the knee of Mu Chuchu's dress was dirty. After the fall, half of her body fell on the wet lawn, and the mud and dirty water stained the dress.

Although Su Man was confused, seeing Mu Chuchu's pitiful appearance, she subconsciously stepped forward to help Mu Chuchu up. As soon as she stretched out her hand, Mu Chuchu dodged to the side with a look of horror.

"Suman!"

Behind him, Xiao Beisheng's slightly stern growl came.

Su Man's back collapsed, and she suddenly understood why Mu Chuchu suddenly "fell".

It turned out that he was acting for Xiao Beisheng.

Xiao Beisheng walked quickly towards the two of them, "What's going on?"

Mu Chuchu looked extremely frightened. She supported herself on the ground with her hands and tried to get up by herself, but her fishtail skirt made it difficult for her to move. She fell back halfway up.

Don't even mention how embarrassing it was.

The weakness of wanting to be strong but being so weak that one cannot take care of oneself is even more fragile.

Xiao Beisheng finally couldn't help it and reached out to help Mu Chuchu up.

Mu Chuchu said pitifully to Xiao Beisheng, "Mr. Xiao, I fell down by myself. It has nothing to do with my wife."

Xiao Beisheng looked towards Su Man, who had no expression on her face. "It was just as she said. I didn't touch her at all just now. But it's really strange that Secretary Xiao Mu suddenly fell down."

Mu Chuchu lowered her head and did not make any excuses.

Su Man narrowed her eyes and looked at her coldly.

Haha, I'm addicted to acting.

In fact, Su Man knew in her heart that in this situation, she was obviously at a disadvantage. If she did not take any measures, a green tea girl like Mu Chuchu would definitely have the upper hand.

But Suman didn't want to do anything.

What she needs is someone who will stand by her side unconditionally. As long as she stands there, without doing anything or saying anything, the other party will still firmly choose her.

If there is no such person, then forget it.

In Su Man's dictionary, there is only interest, no love.

In order to gain benefits, she will learn to flatter men, but she will never waste effort for so-called love.

Xiao Beisheng said to Su Man, "If your shoes are dirty, you can ask someone to wipe them with a special stain remover. There's no need to get so angry."

"Do you think I'm angry?" Su Man asked back in a calm tone.

"Just now, Xiao Mu was kneeling on the ground to wipe your shoes. I saw it all." Xiao Beisheng said.

"Why don't you ask if I asked her to wipe it? I said I didn't touch her just now, but you didn't believe me, did you?"

Su Man and Xiao Beisheng confronted each other silently.

Just then, a flash of light appeared in the darkness.

"Click, click" flashed continuously.

In the dark night, it was like a dazzling sword, shooting from the darkness towards Xiao Beisheng, Su Man and others, catching them off guard.
