Chapter 519 Peach Blossom Debt

After Su Changhai made this heartless speech, he stepped back a few steps to make way for Bai Lan.

It was just a brief accident, as if it had never happened.

Bai Lan entered and greeted familiar friends.

Su Changhai was surrounded by people and taken to the other side of the banquet hall.

Bai Lan no longer had the desire to deal with Su Changhai, and Su Changhai didn't even look at Bai Lan again.

Everyone treated the little incident just now as Su Changhai's unruly little joke.

Xiao Beisheng in the crowd was still secretly observing the two of them, as if thinking about something.

The relationship between this Mrs. Bai and Su Changhai seems to be quite complicated.

What did Su Changhai mean by that question?

Is Mrs. Bai’s identity fake?

And what about Su Changhai, what is he hinting at by the old friend he mentioned?

Did I really recognize the wrong person, or were they old acquaintances?

Xiao Beisheng narrowed his eyes slightly, things seemed to be far more complicated than he had guessed.

The sky over Haicheng became increasingly unpredictable.

Outside the banquet hall.

Su Man and Gu Ziheng were walking towards the garden.

The two of them didn't know what had just happened at the banquet.

Su Man now only wants to find a secluded place to rest.

The two sat down in the rest area next to the flower garden. Not long after they sat down, a group of people appeared out of nowhere.

They surrounded the two of them, asking questions and chatting enthusiastically.

Su Man has now become the daughter of a casino owner and is a hot commodity.

But Suman herself did not like this treatment.

In the past, I was forced by Shen Qing to deal with others and curry favor with them.

Now that she had finally gotten rid of Chen Qing, she just wanted to be alone quietly, without having to put on a fake smile or think about replying. Socializing had no effect on her.

Gu Ziheng could see her annoyance and frowned at her.

Su Man immediately understood what he meant: he was a good hand in social situations, so she left the situation to him and Su Man slipped away first.

Suman made an excuse, saying she needed to go to the bathroom, and left the table at the speed of light.

When she was leaving, she made eye contact with Gu Ziheng, who secretly patted his chest with a generous attitude as if saying, "Leave it to me, you can go and have some free time."

Gu Ziheng is a jerk in terms of emotions, but he is a great friend and quite loyal.

Su Man hid beside a rockery fountain.

There are few people here, so it will take some time for her to be discovered.

After standing in the banquet hall for most of the day and walking for a while, he finally sat down, but was pushed out again. Su Man pounded the sore muscles in his thighs, groped his way to the stone wall beside the fountain, and wanted to sit down.

Just as she moved her butt, a dark shadow suddenly passed by her side. Su Man was so scared that she lost her soul and fell backwards into the fountain.

Just as she was about to fall into the pool, the dark shadow stepped forward and reached out to pull her back.

"Why are you jumping into the pond? If you kill the koi in the pond, Madam Bai will not let you go." Xiao Beisheng's cold voice fell heavily above her head.

Su Man held his arm and was held by him, sitting steadily on the edge of the pool.

"Who would jump in for no reason? If you hadn't suddenly appeared and scared me, I wouldn't have almost fallen in!" Su Man said angrily.

Xiao Beisheng let go of her, turned around, and leaned his back against the pool. "Now that we've found your father, what are you going to do next?"

Suman glanced at him.

This was the first one-on-one conversation he had with her after he drew a line between them.

But it's normal to think about it,

Before, she wanted to find her father, and Xiao Beisheng wanted to find the owner of Jinxuanmen. The two hit it off immediately, and she even went to Jinxuanmen with Xiao Beisheng.

The two of them can be considered teammates who have fought together in this matter.

So it made sense for him to talk to her about this.

Su Man said: "I don't know. I originally thought he was a heartless and irresponsible man, but now, the facts seem to be different from what I thought. I suddenly don't know how to face him. He might as well be a complete villain."

That way, she could hate him.

"Maybe he has had some difficulties since he wasn't with you all these years."

Su Man laughed twice, "Are you speaking for him because you want to get involved in the gambling business?"

Xiao Beisheng frowned slightly, "No."

"Although the gambling business is legal now, it doesn't mean there aren't shady operations behind the scenes. Even if he's the boss of the Golden Gate, he's still not a good person." Su Man said, "Xiao Beisheng, based on our past friendship, I still want to advise you to stop in time and turn back."

Xiao Beisheng twitched the corner of his mouth in an ambiguous manner, and suddenly asked abruptly, "Do you know Madam Bai?"

"Mrs. Bai? I don't know her. I've only heard about her from you all. I've never even seen her in person."

"real?"

Su Man was a little unhappy. "Since you don't believe me, what else is there to ask?"

"Then why did you come today? Even if you said you wanted to meet the owner of this Golden Gate, you can't get in without Mrs. Bai's invitation. If you don't know Mrs. Bai, why would she invite you?"

Xiao Beisheng's sharp eyes were full of inquiry, which made Su Man feel very uncomfortable.

"Are you interrogating a prisoner? Well, even if I know Mrs. Bai, so what?"

Xiao Beisheng's face froze.

He asked, "Why do I feel like I'm going to explode if you talk to me right now?"

In the past, during their marriage, he spoiled her to the point of lawlessness, and Suman also liked to have some small temper tantrums with him.

But it was all half serious, half a joke.

Now Suman is clearly antagonistic towards him.

Like a little hedgehog.

"You make me unhappy." Su Man said angrily.

Xiao Beisheng nodded lightly and stopped questioning her. Instead, he changed his tone to a gentle one: "It's not that I don't believe you, I just find it strange."

He acted gentlemanly yet distant.

In the past, Xiao Beisheng might have teased her evilly, asking her why she was unhappy, and whether it was because she still had feelings for him, so after being pushed away by him, she held a grudge and turned love into hate.

But now...

Su Man couldn't help but feel anxious and choked up.

She said, "I'm also curious why Madam Bai invited me. The invitation was given to me by Gu Ziheng. Gu Ziheng said that because he was invited, Madam Bai knew I was Gu Ziheng's girlfriend, so she invited me to join him and asked me to be there. But I've also thought that this reason is far-fetched."

“It’s far-fetched.”

"Oh, that's not far-fetched. Today is a setup. Madam Bai must have invited me here for Luo Yan. If it weren't for him... maybe Luo Yan and Madam Bai's plan would have succeeded today."

This "he" refers to Su Changhai.

At this point, Xiao Beisheng's expression became serious. He looked mysterious, as if he was thinking about something.

"Why do you ask this suddenly?" Su Man couldn't help but wonder.

"I just suddenly realized that people and things that I originally thought were unrelated might actually be inextricably linked."

“…I don’t understand.”

"Madam Bai is the richest woman in the Golden Triangle's Lai Mansion. She's very close to Black Hawk, and her most profitable business is actually the contraband trade. Your father is the owner of the Golden Triangle. Logically, they shouldn't be related at all, but today, it seems that's not entirely true."

"What does this mean?"

Suman glared at him.

Is he saying that Su Changhai and Madam Bai are secretly having an affair?

Xiao Beisheng glanced at her, with a half-smile: "I know what you are thinking, but that's not what I meant. On the contrary, they seem to be irreconcilable. You can ask your father if he had any romantic debts in Haicheng in his early years."
