Chapter 671 The Dust Settles

Su Man's response was like a moan, and finally dissolved into the blending of their breaths.

After a sound sleep, it was already dawn.

Usually, Su Man and Xiao Beisheng would coax Doudou to sleep together, but no one thought about it last night.

Ye Ling didn't come to remind them.

Or maybe, it wasn't that she didn't want to remind them, but she knew they were very affectionate, so she didn't disturb them and coaxed Doudou to sleep by herself.

Doudou didn't make any noise last night.

From the time she woke up until Xiao Beisheng got dressed, Su Man's cheeks were flushed with a thin layer of rouge, making her white and rosy, and particularly beautiful.

She remembered to fix Xiao Beisheng's collar and tie, and Xiao Beisheng gently pushed her back to the bed: "No need to get up, I'll come over."

He leaned down, moving closer to her convenient distance.

Her cool fragrance still lingered on him. Her fingers gently brushed against his neck, and there were traces of her passion left on his skin last night.

The two became closer than ever.

Su Man straightened his collar while muttering, "I'm a little embarrassed to go downstairs for dinner."

Xiao Beisheng immediately smiled: "If you want to eat, I'll bring it up for you now. If you still want to sleep, let Ye Ling bring it up for you later."

Wouldn't it be the same if Ye Ling brought it up? She was just too embarrassed to see anyone now!

"Please help me get it up now." Su Man said in a muffled voice.

"good."

When Xiao Beisheng went out, he happened to meet Ye Ling.

Ye Ling asked, "Sir, breakfast is ready. Wouldn't Madam like to eat with us?"

"She's thin-skinned, so I'll bring it up for her."

Su Man's embarrassed, angry, and anxious voice immediately rang out from the room: "I can hear it!"

Outside, Xiao Beisheng and Ye Ling both laughed.

Ye Ling complimented: "Madam and husband have a good relationship!"

Su Man puffed up her face red and pulled the quilt over her head.

-

Soon after, everything was settled.

Zhou Linxian was executed.

Su Changhai handed over the evidence of his crimes over the years, turned himself in voluntarily, and admitted his mistakes with a good attitude. In addition, the higher-ups needed the casino to balance the forces of all parties, so they allowed Su Changhai to continue operating the business, which was considered as meritorious service while serving his sentence. After many twists and turns, Su Changhai was finally promoted to the boss of the casino.

As for Bai Lan, the gray business in the Golden Triangle has become a thing of the past with the death of Black Hawk. Considering that Bai Lan is the victim of an old case and that he helped catch the suspect, his merits and demerits can be considered to offset each other.

Xiao Beisheng said that Bai Lan and Su Changhai were able to achieve such a result thanks to Su Man's help.

But Su Man knew that Xiao Beisheng was making more efforts and paying more in places where no one could see him.

Su Man went to watch Zhou Linxian's trial once.

Qiao Shiyan also came. He wanted to follow Xiao Beisheng to investigate the case of their master.

When he saw Su Man, he still felt a little awkward, but Su Man was very generous to him, which made him feel even more depressed and lonely.

After saying hello, he turned and walked into the court.

Su Man was in the audience that day and heard the whole process of the case.

Xiao Beisheng had already heard Zhou Linxian's statement, but after hearing it again, he was still furious.

The judges present all felt that Zhou Linxian's methods were cruel and his intentions were vicious.

Xiao Beisheng clenched his hands on his knees into fists. The anger in his body seemed like boiling magma, almost bursting out of his chest and erupting.

Suddenly, Su Man's hand gently covered his fist, its coolness extinguishing his anger.

Finally, Zhou Linxian sentenced him to death and executed him immediately.

The moment the verdict came down, tears flickered in Xiao Beisheng's eyes.

But when Su Man looked more closely, she found that it was just the resolute cold light reflected by the ice.

On the day Zhou Linxian was executed, Su Man accompanied Xiao Beisheng and Qiao Shiyan to visit their master's grave.

Now that everything has settled, Xiao Beisheng seems to have felt a heavy burden lifted from his shoulders.

In the past, he seemed to be carrying a heavy yoke. Even though he became the president of Xiao Group and dominated the business empire he created, in the deepest part of his heart, he was still a loser.

But now, he could finally straighten his chest, take brisk steps, and continue walking forward.

Xiao Beisheng and Qiao Shiyan stood in front of the tombstone for a long time.

They didn't say anything, but silence was better than a thousand words.

Su Man accompanied and waited silently by their side, and from now on they had no obsession or regrets.

They didn't leave until it started to drizzle.

When they parted ways, Su Man asked Qiao Shixin: "How is Shixin doing recently?"

Qiao Shiyan smiled bitterly: "She and Song Lin are divorced. They are in the cooling-off period now, but it will be over soon."

Su Man was a little surprised. She had encountered a lot of things herself and had no time to pay attention to other things. She didn't expect that so many things had happened in the Qiao family.

Qiao Shiyan said, "She's getting a divorce. It's not good, but it's the end of a bad relationship. I believe she'll be fine."

Seeing that Su Man and Qiao Shiyan had been talking for a long time, Xiao Beisheng walked over, took Su Man's hand, and asked casually, "Is Song Lin being mean to Shi Xin? I'll have Song Yi teach him a lesson later."

Qiao Shiyan looked at their clasped hands and was stunned for a few seconds.

After so long, he still couldn't let go of Su Man and couldn't let go of his guilt.

In his heart, he and Su Man were only a little bit apart...

Just a little bit.

If he hadn't lost control of himself and gone astray, he might have already gotten married to her.

But now, he could only cheer up and try his best to respond to Xiao Beisheng's joke: "They have their own destiny in marriage. If they are not suitable, then they are not suitable. It's better for them to break up."

"What about you? Brother, you've been worrying about your sister all your life. When will you think about your own life?"

Xiao Beisheng's tone was normal, but Su Man inexplicably felt that he was provoking her, and there was a hint of hostility in his tone.

Qiao Shiyan curled his lips and said, "The law firm is busy, I don't have the time to think about these things."

Xiao Beisheng persisted: "I heard that my senior brother was in love with a staff member in the law firm. How are you guys doing now? How is the relationship progressing?"

Suman held her breath.

It's not that she is overly suspicious.

Xiao Beisheng really used his full power to get close to the opponent's face.

Qiao Shiyan's face was already showing embarrassment. He looked at Su Man and said, "She...went abroad. Actually, I've never been with her."

These words were clearly an explanation to Su Man. A hint of coldness rose in Xiao Beisheng's eyes. Before he got angry, she pulled Xiao Beisheng's hand: "It's late, Doudou is still waiting for us at home."

Xiao Beisheng was silent for a moment, and said goodbye to Qiao Shiyan: "Then we will go back first."

Qiao Shiyan nodded and watched them get into the car.

Xiao Beisheng didn't let go of Su Man's hand until he sent her to the passenger seat.

Qiao Shiyan watched Xiao Beisheng's car drive away, a wave of bitterness rising in his heart. He muttered to himself, "Lifelong event? Is there anyone else in this world who can be like you?"

In the car, Xiao Beisheng slowly raised the window, "The car has driven so far, and I, your senior brother, am still staring at you."

Hearing his sarcastic tone, Su Man was both angry and amused: "Did you see it wrong?"
