Chapter 142: Scheming
Su Man turned around, and Mu Chuchu had to quickly put these messy thoughts aside for the time being.
"Tell me, what do you want to tell me?" Su Man looked at her.
Mu Chuchu took a breath and said pitifully: "I'm sorry, Madam. As long as you can calm down, I can do anything. If you want to hit me or scold me, I can bear it..."
Su Man raised her hand.
Snap——
A slap landed accurately on Mu Chuchu's face.
The slap was delivered quickly and smoothly, taking the opponent by surprise.
Mu Chuchu was stunned.
Without waiting for Mu Chuchu to react, Su Man raised her hand again, and with another "slap", a loud and crisp slap landed on Mu Chuchu's face again.
Mu Chuchu covered her face and looked at Su Man in astonishment, as if she couldn't believe that Su Man would actually do it.
"Why are you looking at me like that? Didn't you say it's okay to hit you or scold you? Or are you just pretending?"
"No, no..."
Su Man lifted Mu Chuchu's chin, her eyes sharp: "You don't think I won't really hit you, do you?"
"No... Madam is angry, and she deserves to hit me." Mu Chuchu sniffed and really cried this time.
Su Man wiped her tears, her voice gentle but cold: "Don't cry, hold back your tears, don't act like I'm bullying you."
Mu Chuchu had no choice but to hold back her tears. She looked so wronged and pitiful.
Su Man sneered and opened her chin. "Oh, I forgot to tell you, there are no cameras here. You don't have to pretend. Even if I really beat you to death, no one else would see it."
Mu Chuchu's mouth twitched.
Su Man said, "Also, Xiao Beisheng is a man of his words. If he says he'll avoid you, he won't come over. If you think he can continue to protect you like he did that night, then you should give up on that idea."
Mu Chuchu quickly defended herself: "I came here with sincerity."
"Sincerity? Do you really think I don't know that you deliberately knelt down to polish my shoes that night and then fell down on purpose? Now you come running to me and want to apologize. What? Moral blackmail? I don't forgive you, or am I wrong?"
Mu Chuchu stood there, speechless.
Su Man walked to the sofa and sat down. "There's just something I can't figure out."
She paused and said, "That time in the hospital, it was you who took the initiative to find me and hinted to me that Xiao Beisheng had bad intentions towards you. If you really had feelings for Xiao Beisheng, you could have held back and told me about it. Wouldn't it have been better to wait until you had achieved your goal secretly and your position was stable before showing off in front of me? So I think you really wanted to ask me for help at that time. Is that right?"
Su Man was really frank and wanted to ask the reason.
There were no female competitors this time, nor were there any men.
Just one woman talking to another.
A woman who has been struggling in the world for many years has an instinctive desire to protect a young and innocent girl after seeing her.
"That's right." Mu Chuchu raised her head, and her eyes gradually changed from being soft to hard and sharp.
"I used to think that Mr. Xiao was going to pursue me. Mr. Xiao is a very good person, and I was indeed very attracted to him. However, I heard that he already had a family. I come from an ordinary family, and my parents raised me very conservatively. I wouldn't allow myself to do such an immoral thing. So I deliberately told you those things, hoping that you would come forward and cut off Mr. Xiao's thoughts in that regard. At the same time, I also wanted me to give up and cut off my own escape route."
Su Man nodded: "But, what you did later was very contradictory."
"People always change." Mu Chuchu said confidently.
Su Man raised her eyebrows, looking like she wanted to hear more.
Mu Chuchu said, "My plan to get you to come forward seems to have worked. After that, President Xiao started to keep his distance from me. He would occasionally show concern for me, but it would never go beyond the relationship of superior and subordinate. Obviously... this is the result I wanted, but I can't stand it."
Suman recalled.
It was during the time when Xiao Beisheng asked Su Man to act in a play, and he always asked Su Man to go to the company to show her presence whenever she had time.
It was probably at this time that Mu Chuchu was stimulated.
Mu Chuchu continued, "Once I'd experienced the kindness he brought me, the special treatment and warmth he gave me, after losing him, I found myself in excruciating pain. It was then that I realized I had completely fallen for him... I wanted him to treat me like he used to, to favor me, to treat me as the special one when I stood with others... So I tried every possible way to attract him, to seduce him. To get him to look at me more, I was willing to become the type of woman I hated the most. Do you think I wouldn't be in pain? It was obviously him who provoked me first... I didn't ask for anything, but he gave me hope, let me taste the sweetness, and see that there was a different light in my life."
Su Man knew that Mu Chuchu was most likely in love with Xiao Beisheng.
She was very familiar with this kind of feeling. She knew it was wrong, but she still fell into it while being sober.
Su Man kindly advised: "But you also know that he is a family man. No matter what you do, this thing does not belong to you."
These words irritated Mu Chuchu for some reason, and her expression immediately turned ferocious: "Why do you say that to me?"
Su Man was slightly stunned.
Mu Chuchu said excitedly, "What's the difference between you and me? Didn't you also rely on your looks to get to the top? The person Mr. Xiao originally wanted to marry wasn't you at all. Everyone knows that you snatched this marriage from someone else. Since you can do it, why can't I? And from the beginning, Mr. Xiao had intentions towards me. Compared to you forcing me to buy or sell, I am the one Mr. Xiao wants more."
The slaps Su Man had given Mu Chuchu just now had already made her believe that there were really only the two of them here, and now she spoke without caring about anything.
Su Man gasped, "I'm saying this for your own good."
"For my own good? Haha, you're just afraid that I'll take everything away from you, because Mr. Xiao treats me very specially, and that makes you feel a sense of crisis."
Su Man's surprise quickly faded, and she smiled faintly: "Really? Since I'm the one who feels the crisis, why are you the one who's anxious?"
Mu Chuchu was stunned by the question.
Su Man said, "You deliberately got wet in the rain to act pitiful, and you deliberately framed me. It would be fine if it happened normally, but do you know what that banquet meant? You thought you were just throwing dirty water on me, but do you know that I also represent a member of the Xiao family? Throwing dirty water on me is like smearing the Xiao family's face."
Of course Mu Chuchu didn't know.
"Don't scare me... Although I just graduated, I'm not a little girl who knows nothing. Your marriage with Mr. Xiao is not that important at all, and the Xiao family doesn't value you that much."
"What a shameless little girl who is not that important. Where did she come from to speak like that?"
A voice came from the other side.
The old woman's voice was full of energy despite her age, and Su Man knew it was Madam Xiao as soon as she heard it.
Sure enough, when I turned around, I saw Old Madam Xiao walking towards me with steady steps, followed by Aunt Mei.
Su Man was a little surprised. Why did Madam Xiao come?
Mu Chuchu was also shocked. Her first reaction was to question Su Man: "Didn't you say that there were only two of us here? I wanted to have a good talk with you, but I didn't expect you to play tricks on me."
