Chapter 180 Trust Me

Mu Yao is Mu Chuchu's brother.

Xiao Beisheng muttered:

"At that time, I had just started my internship at a law firm. In my eyes, many things were either black or white, but the seniors at the law firm did not see things that way, which had a huge impact on my values.

"At that time, I was young and hot-headed, and I had a big conflict with that senior. Before the end of the working day, I just threw in the towel and left the law firm. I had nowhere to go, so I went to the bar to find Luo Yan.

"That bar was the secret base of Luo Yan and his group. Not long after I arrived at the bar, the law firm called. I went to the door of the bar alone to answer the phone, and listened to my senior scolding me on the phone for more than half an hour. After hanging up the phone, I didn't go into the bar, but smoked a cigarette alone at the door. At that time, Mu Yao came over.

"He came over to me with a cigarette to ask for a light, then stood next to me and refused to leave.

"He asked me with a smile if I had argued with my boss, and advised me to talk it over nicely. These days, it's hard to get a decent job. Unlike him, his mother needed medical treatment urgently, and his sister needed tuition, but he could only run around construction sites and docks, using his physical labor to earn a meager salary.

"I asked him, 'What if the money I make doesn't allow me to defend what I want to defend, and the weapons I thought I was holding don't defend the truth I want to defend, and don't allow me to protect the people I want to protect, then what should I do?'"

"Guess what he said?" Xiao Beisheng asked Su Man.

Suman shook her head.

Xiao Beisheng continued, "He said that every weapon has its own purpose. If the weapon you hold can't protect the people you want to protect, why bother holding it? He didn't become a gangster first to make money for his family, but he became a gangster first to make money."

Su Man smiled and said, "So this is the truth of simplicity."

"It was also because of Mu Yao's words that I finally chose not to be a lawyer. The law can't allow me to protect the people I want to protect, so I can only use other weapons."

Only then did Su Man realize that Xiao Beisheng gave up his career as a lawyer just because of a word from a stranger.

Perhaps, Mu Yao was the direct reason for Xiao Beisheng's change of mind.

But who really made Xiao Beisheng change his mind?

Is it Luo Yan?

Who and what does he want to protect?

Su Man was thinking, "That's why you helped Mu Yao with his connections, running around for him, and finally, you helped him take care of the Mu family."

Xiao Beisheng nodded. "Mu Yao is more righteous and conscientious than my seniors in the law firm. In this world, people who live well should be people like them."

Suman fell silent.

"What are you thinking about? Are you still thinking about Mu Chuchu? She won't bother you anymore." Xiao Beisheng held her face.

Su Man smiled and said, "I didn't think anything."

But Su Man also knew that her smile was a little forced.

Xiao Beisheng was very frank with her today and told Su Man everything.

Explained how he protected Luo Yan and harmed Mu Yao;

Explained why he felt so special towards Mu Chuchu;

He also told Su Man that he had indeed never touched Mu Chuchu, and that the father of Mu Chuchu's child was someone else. He even told Su Man the man's name and the number of people in his family, fearing that the lack of details would arouse Su Man's suspicion.

Xiao Beisheng was obviously so sincere, so why did Su Man still feel that she was so far away from him?

"Su Man, look up and look at me." Xiao Bei called her softly and gently.

Suman raised her head and looked into his eyes.

Xiao Beisheng said, "I used to think that as long as I could handle everything myself and not let those troubles bother you, it would be fine. So when I was doing something, I chose not to let you know. However, this seemed to create a lot of unnecessary barriers between us, which I don't want to see."

"Um……"

"I'm telling you this today because I want to be honest with you and don't want to hide anything from you anymore. Will you give me your trust?" Xiao Beisheng spoke sincerely and his attitude was honest.

Su Man was caught off guard.

"What are you talking about? I have always believed in you." Su Man said against her will.

Xiao Beisheng looked at Su Man, his eyes darkening.

He seemed to be probing Su Man, his eyes like sharp swords, as if to pierce through her. After a long while, he said in a deep voice, "Okay."

Su Man felt a little guilty, and always felt that Xiao Beisheng was hinting at something.

Could it be that he discovered that she was secretly following him today?

She was absent-minded, but suddenly her lips hurt. Xiao Beisheng bit her lips lightly.

"Ah, it hurts!" Su Man touched her lips and glared at him accusingly.

Xiao Beisheng said: "I didn't take any precautions just now, so you are not allowed to take medicine afterwards."

Su Man thought back to how everything happened so suddenly. She was dazed and disoriented, and she seemed to sense that Xiao Beisheng hadn't taken any protective measures.

She thought it was her own illusion and ignored it.

I didn't expect it to be true.

"Xiao Beisheng! You promised me that you would give me time to think it over!"

"You've been thinking about it long enough. I can't wait any longer."

He leaned over to kiss her again. Su Man was furious and raised her hand to elbow him in the abdomen. Xiao Beisheng bent down, covering his abdomen, and Su Man took the opportunity to slip off the bed.

Xiao Beisheng didn't allow Su Man to take medicine, but he had plenty of ways to prevent it.

Suman’s channels for buying medicine were all cut off.

He also didn't allow her to go out.

Su Man was trapped for several days, and only after the validity period expired did Xiao Beisheng set her free.

Su Man was so furious that she didn't let Xiao Beisheng touch her for half a month.

Xiao Beisheng holds the attitude of "I did something that made you angry, and I accept your emotional backlash, but I have my own persistence, I don't regret it, and I don't admit my mistakes."

Even if Su Man gave him the cold shoulder, he would still prepare breakfast for him every day. Before going out for work, Su Man didn't see him off, and even gave him a cold back while lying on the bed, he would still come over and give her a good morning kiss on the forehead.

Su Man didn't let him touch her, but he obeyed without any force. He went out early and came back late every day. When he got home, he would occasionally go to the study to continue working overtime. He acted as if he had cut off all emotional ties and had no worldly thoughts.

Suman's protest did not punish him at all.

Su Man was so angry that she ordered several uniforms online overnight. After paying, she saw a hot and revealing piece of underwear. Su Man blushed and put the underwear into the shopping cart.

That night, Xiao Beisheng was handling official business in his study as usual.

Su Man changed into a sexy uniform, heated a cup of milk for Xiao Beisheng, and knocked on Xiao Beisheng's door.

Xiao Beisheng was processing financial reports. When he heard Su Man knock on the door, he didn't even look up and said, "Come in."

Suman came into the study room carrying milk.

She was originally looking forward to Xiao Beisheng's look when he saw her for the first time, but it turned out that Xiao Beisheng was so focused on the financial report that he didn't even look at her.

Su Man cleared her throat and said, "I heated up some milk for you to nourish your stomach."

Xiao Beisheng still didn't raise his head, "Thank you, you've worked hard, just put it on the table, I'll drink it later."

Suman walked to the desk.

Xiao Beisheng did not respond.

Suman put the milk down and made a noise on purpose.

Xiao Beisheng still didn't respond.

Su Man put her hand on his shoulder, and Xiao Beisheng finally showed some reaction——
