Chapter 385 Differential Treatment

Suman was about to lose her temper.

Looking up, Su Man saw Xiao Beisheng and Gao Xun looking at her with curious and questioning faces. She immediately realized that she had just lost her composure.

"W-What happened?"

"Mr. Xiao wants to ask you if you want to have dinner with us at a restaurant outside. We've been eating hospital food for almost half a month, and it's too bland," Gao Xun replied.

Su Man twisted her fingers, hesitated for a moment, and took the opportunity to express her thoughts: "Actually, I was thinking just now, if there is really nothing going on here and I am no longer needed, can I return home early?"

Gao Xun was stunned.

Xiao Beisheng didn't show any expression, as if everything was within his expectations.

Gao Xun advised: "Well...our President Xiao will be discharged soon, so you shouldn't be in a hurry..."

Xiao Beisheng said coldly: "Okay."

Gao Xun: “Ah?”

Xiao Beisheng said to Gao Xun, "Arrange the nearest flight."

"Thank you. I have something urgent to do and need to go back." Su Man said.

The two of them talked back and forth, and didn't take Gao Xun seriously at all.

Gao Xun still didn't give up: "Excuse me for asking, Miss Su is so anxious to go back, is there something wrong at home? If there is any problem, we can help solve it."

"It's nothing, I just left the child for too long and the child missed his mother."

After hearing what Su Man said, Xiao Beisheng's eyes dimmed slightly.

Gao Xun also stopped trying to persuade him any further.

After Su Man returned to the hotel to pack her luggage, Gao Xun asked Xiao Beisheng, "Mr. Xiao, isn't it a bad idea to let your wife go back alone?"

"If she wants to go back, then let her go. My original intention was also to hope that she would leave as soon as possible so that she wouldn't be an eyesore here."

Gao Xun sighed, indignantly saying, "She's clearly just been unable to sit still after hearing her husband hasn't been home in ages. And she's using the child as an excuse. Women, especially beautiful ones, are so treacherous and cunning! Only villains and women are hard to raise!"

Xiao Beisheng's face was gloomy and he said nothing.

Gao Xun knew his boss was feeling miserable, so he offered an idea: "How about we just show the evidence we've captured of Lawyer Qiao and his female colleague cheating to his wife and help them get a 'divorce'?"

"No interference." Xiao Beisheng said, "I'm quite curious, if there is no human sabotage, will God help their marriage?"

-

Su Man packed her luggage and returned to the ward, but Xiao Beisheng and Gao Xun were gone.

Gao Xun sent her a message, informing her that they had already left for dinner at the restaurant and that she should go to the airport on her own. He also included the flight number.

Luo Yan was about to leave, and Gao Xun personally drove her to the airport.

When it was Suman's turn, she was asked to take a taxi by herself, and no one came to see her off.

Don't make the distinction too obvious!

But Su Man was satisfied. At least they reimbursed her return ticket and booked a flight for her. They took care of the killing and burial, and everything from beginning to end.

Seven hours later.

Su Man arrived in Haicheng.

When I got home, Doudou was still sleeping soundly in his cradle.

Su Man didn't care that Doudou was sleeping soundly. She picked up her chubby son from the cradle and started sucking him hard. "Doudou, mommy misses you so much! Mommy, give me a hug!"

Doudou was shaken awake and opened his eyes in a daze.

A pair of big, black and moist eyes, sparkling and watery under the warm light of the baby's room.

Her facial features inherited the best features from her parents, and she looks exceptionally soft and beautiful.

Seeing that it was Suman, Doudou didn't make a fuss. Instead, he reached out to grab Suman's hair, and then babbled some discordant syllables.

Aunt Chen followed in. "Miss, when you came back, didn't your uncle go to the airport to pick you up? He hasn't been home much these days. Is it because you went to Florida with Xiao... that your uncle is angry?"

Su Man put Doudou back into the cradle. "He doesn't know I'm back. I didn't have time to tell him."

"You didn't tell me? This whole thing...you two don't act like a couple at all."

Su Man curled her lips and said, "In two days, our divorce cooling-off period will be over. By then, we will no longer be husband and wife."

She originally wanted to take advantage of this month to think it over carefully.

But because of this accident, she spent more than half a month abroad.

When she was abroad, she was so concerned about Xiao Beisheng's health that she had no time to think about her marriage with Qiao Shiyan.

This is probably God's will.

Seeing Chen Ma's regretful expression, Su Man said, "He has a good relationship with his female colleague. Don't worry about him."

"I'm not worried about anything, I'm worried about you." Aunt Chen said earnestly.

In the past, Su Man would definitely feel warmed by Chen Ma's attitude.

But now I feel alienated from Chen Ma.

She could no longer let go of her worries and get completely close to Chen Ma.

Su Man returned home and didn't rest for two days.

Friday afternoon.

She looked at the time and went out.

Before leaving, Aunt Chen asked her where she was going.

Su Man said that she was going to buy some old-fashioned pastries that she liked and have some afternoon tea, which were all trivial matters, so Aunt Chen didn't ask any more questions.

Su Man did go buy some cakes and drink some tea, but she wasn't going to do any idle things.

But now, she just hid what she was going to do from Chen Ma.

Su Man arrived at the gate of Haicheng No. 7 Primary School.

Nearby, there is an old-fashioned handmade cake shop known only to the locals. The cakes made by the master chef here are authentic and made with plenty of ingredients. The children in the school love to eat them.

The original price positioning of the pastries was to be affordable.

Until two years ago, the master baker passed away and his son and daughter-in-law inherited the shop. The son and daughter-in-law said that they wanted to keep up with the times, so they introduced Western pastries and coffee, and raised the prices. The "people-friendly route" of the old cake shop suddenly became a "bourgeois route".

However, the cake shop has an advantageous location and is a century-old brand.

Some old customers are willing to buy their accounts.

This has caused hardship for the children in the public primary school across the street.

Some children don’t understand why their parents don’t buy them the cakes they used to enjoy.

Some children from ordinary families can only watch with envy as their classmates from wealthy families feast on cakes in cake shops after school.

Su Man went to the store and ordered a cake and a cup of coffee.

So I sat in the cake shop, next to the window.

5:15 pm.

The school bell rang at the elementary school across the street, and the whole campus became lively, suddenly filled with the noisy chatter of children.

Parents were already waiting at the school gate for their children to finish school.

Some drive luxury cars, and some ride bicycles.

Su Man looked out the window at the endless stream of people and cars outside, as if she was looking at a huge picture of the world.

Not all children who ride in luxury cars are happy. Sometimes, when they open the car door and see that it is only their own driver who comes to pick them up, and then hear that they have to go to interest classes after school, their little faces will immediately turn worried, carrying a heavy burden beyond their age.

The children riding bicycles are not necessarily unhappy. They kiss their parents on the cheeks, hold their parents' hands, and share something excitedly. They are brave and confident, and express their love in a healthy and bold way.

About forty minutes passed.

At the school gate, the cars coming to pick up the children have almost left one after another.

In the sunset, a little girl came to the outside of the cake shop.

She originally wanted to come in, but looking at the high-end and exquisite decoration of the store, she changed direction and sat down against the wall outside the glass window.

Suman knocked on the glass above her head through the glass window.

The girl raised her head suddenly when she heard the voice, and when she saw Su Man, her face was full of surprise: "Auntie Su Man!"
