Chapter 167: Retreat
"Either I give you the money, have an abortion, and then give you some time to recover and find a new job. Or, take these things and disappear from my sight. This is the most righteous thing I can do for you, considering you've come to me for help today."
Suman picked up the wine glass and took a big sip.
This red wine wasn't decanted long enough, so it's a bit astringent.
The liquid rolled around Su Man's tongue and was swallowed by her without tasting anything good.
Mu Chuchu was still kneeling on the ground, a little dazed: "Madam, are you serious? Do you mind?"
"What do you expect me to mind? Like what's shown on TV, pulling your hair, tearing your clothes, slapping you, and calling you a shameless mistress? There's no need. I, Su Man, never lower myself for a low-rank role."
Su Man sat there elegantly, and her few leisurely words were like a slap in Mu Chuchu's face.
Although Su Man didn't do anything, Mu Chuchu already felt her face burning.
Neat and decisive.
Mean and humiliating.
And very appropriate.
While Mu Chuchu was feeling resentful, she also suddenly realized the gap between herself and Su Man.
If she were in another position, Mu Chuchu probably wouldn't be able to be as calm and rational as Su Man and look at things from the overall perspective.
Su Man has something that she doesn't have.
But...what is that thing?
She doesn't know.
She only knew that there was a gap between her and Su Man, and Xiao Beisheng chose Su Man instead of her because of these "things".
There is a gap between her and Xiao Beisheng. It is very likely that she and Xiao Beisheng will never be together in this life.
She was angry and unwilling.
But there is no way.
Just like now, she was not only kneeling in front of Su Man physically, but her spirit also seemed to be kneeling in front of Su Man, feeling a head shorter.
Su Man shook the red wine glass, turned around, and found Mu Chuchu still kneeling there, "Why, aren't you leaving yet?"
Mu Chuchu knelt, very stubborn.
Su Man said, "I don't care how you knew to come here to find me, or how you got in, but I think that since you were able to find me, you should know what the occasion is today. You stayed, do you want to have dinner with me and Bei Sheng? I don't mind. A date with three people is quite novel. I just don't know if Bei Sheng knows."
"Ma'am, I have another question."
Su Man didn't say anything and waited for her to speak.
"Why can you be so calm? Aren't you worried that Mr. Xiao will have sympathy for me because I had that one experience with him and I was pregnant with his child?"
"If you were sure of this, you wouldn't have to come to me. You could have taken these things and cried to him long ago."
"Ma'am, you are really smart."
After Mu Chuchu finished speaking, she got up from the ground.
Su Man raised her hand, and with her delicate fingers, she gently tapped the pregnancy test form that she had just placed on the table, "Take your things away."
Not disgust, not resistance.
But it was a light tone.
It showed that she didn't care about the pregnancy test report at all.
Mu Chuchu walked over silently, took the list on the table, turned around and walked out.
The moment Mu Chuchu walked out the door, Su Man thought of something and said to her, "By the way, let me advise you not to leak the photo on your phone. If you ruin the Xiao family's reputation, you'll have to pay the price. You experienced the consequences last time. If you want to continue living a good life, don't commit suicide."
Mu Chuchu shrank back, lowered her head, and quickened her pace to leave.
Su Man sat at the table and was in a daze for a long time.
When she came to her senses, she pressed the service bell.
The one who came over was the foreman.
Suman is a distinguished guest today, so she must be given the best service.
"Mrs. Xiao, how can I help you?"
"Did you let that girl in just now?"
The foreman was startled. "Yes. That lady took out Xiao's work ID and claimed to be Mr. Xiao's subordinate. She wanted to come over to pass on a message to you, so we let someone in..."
The foreman was a smart guy and noticed that Suman's mood had changed slightly.
I immediately realized that letting that person in was a wrong decision.
The foreman asked anxiously, "Mrs. Xiao, is there something wrong with what we did? I'm so sorry..."
"It's okay, just asking." Su Man said in a light tone.
She doesn't plan to pursue the restaurant.
If accountability is pursued, the restaurant will blame these staff members and use them as scapegoats.
We are all workers and innocent.
Nothing bad happened today, so there's no need to get to the bottom of it and make things difficult for others.
"Is Mr. Xiao not here yet?"
"...No, we'll send someone to urge them."
"No need. You don't have to make the dishes you ordered today."
Su Man said this, picked up the wine glass in front of her, drank the remaining red wine, took her bag, stood up and left.
"Hey, Mrs. Xiao..." The foreman chased after her, but could only watch Su Man leave.
They are just there to provide services and have no right to force customers to stay.
Su Man never expected that the person she would be waiting for today would be Mu Chuchu and the pregnancy test form.
This was the "surprise" Xiao Beisheng gave her.
She would have a good discussion with Xiao Beisheng on how to resolve the issue of Mu Chuchu, and would ask Xiao Beisheng what was going on between him and Mu Chuchu.
But there is no need to eat this meal today.
She needs to calm down now, and be alone.
She needed to think carefully about whether she could accept Xiao Beisheng's proposal without any reservations.
Today's proposal is of great significance to Su Man and Xiao Beisheng.
This means that two people choose to start over, change their approach, truly accept each other, and give their hearts to each other completely.
But now, Suman has backed off.
She didn't know whether she should be a qualified Mrs. Xiao or someone who loved Xiao Beisheng.
-
Xiao Beisheng had no idea what happened in the restaurant.
He rushed to H University and drove his car into the gate of H University.
From the outside, the school looked just like any other peaceful day.
But if you look closely, you can find that the security guards on duty at the entrances of the school's various gates and in the security booths have been replaced a long time ago.
There are also several teams of unidentified "plainclothes" bodyguards guarding outside and inside the school.
They were all sent by Xiao Beisheng.
Except for Xiao Beisheng's luxury car, which entered the campus unimpeded, all other cars were stopped outside.
There were sparse groups of people gathered at the bottom of the complex building.
There were originally quite a few students who gathered to watch the fun, but they were all taken away by the counselors and class teachers.
What remains now are the school staff and leaders.
Xiao Beisheng got out of the car and looked up. The afternoon sunlight had dimmed, and a figure was standing at the corner of the rooftop, swaying precariously.
That is Lu Xiaomin.
Xiao Beisheng entered the complex building with an expressionless face and took the elevator straight to the top floor.
