Chapter 169: No More Mercy
Xiao Beisheng shook his hand, raised it and saw a scratch on it.
Gao Xun ran over and saw the wound on Xiao Beisheng's hand. "Mr. Xiao, let's go to the school infirmary to bandage it?"
"No, let's go straight to the restaurant. Su Man should be here by now."
He was still thinking about his date with Suman today.
Su Man probably waited for a long time.
"Mr. Xiao..." Gao Xun hesitated to speak.
"What's wrong?"
"Madam... she had arrived, but then she left again."
"What do you mean?" Xiao Beisheng stopped and frowned.
Gao Xun told Xiao Beisheng what happened in the restaurant.
"I don't know exactly what Mu Chuchu said to Madam, but Madam didn't look very happy when she left."
"Mu Chuchu..."
Xiao Beisheng savored Mu Chuchu's name, his eyes darkening.

Su Man did not return to Dilan Garden. She went to the city lighthouse alone. Suddenly, she wanted to go to a very high place to see the open scenery and feel the sea breeze.
Few people come here, and since today is a weekday, Suman is the only one here.
As the sky darkened, the sunset dyed the sky purple and red.
A round sun slowly descends where the sea and the sky meet.
In the sky, there is a ship sailing along the horizon, slowly passing through the magnificent sunset, creating a vast expanse of space.
Su Man looked at everything in front of her and her heart calmed down.
At this moment, she could think of nothing.
She just wanted to let go.
I don’t know how long I stayed there, until the sun sank below the sea level, the orange and purple-red light in the sky slowly faded, the sky and the sea fell into a deep dark blue, and bright stars hung in the sky.
The sea breeze makes people feel a little cold.
Just then, the door behind him opened.
"Why are you here alone and not answering the phone?" Xiao Beisheng walked over.
Su Man glanced at him and smiled: "You're here."
She knew that it was only a matter of time before Xiao Beisheng came over. Xiao Beisheng installed a positioning device in her mobile phone, so he could find her whenever he wanted.
Xiao Beisheng came up behind her, held her shoulders with both hands, and asked, "Are you cold?"
"fine."
The sea breeze blew her hair, and her profile looked soft and elegant under the light of the lighthouse.
"Have you eaten?" Xiao Beisheng asked again.
Suman shook her head.
The two stood side by side, looking at the sea for a while, and Xiao Beisheng said, "I heard about Mu Chuchu looking for you. It was the restaurant's negligence. I didn't expect her to come to you."
"Don't blame them. It's not the restaurant's fault."
"What did Mu Chuchu tell you?"
"She showed me a pregnancy test report and said she was three months pregnant. She also said the child was yours."
"Impossible!" Xiao Beisheng's face was covered with frost. "You believe such a clumsy lie? You would rather believe another woman's words than me?"
"The timing also matches. It's the time when you went on a business trip to Country M."
"I never touched her at all!"
"She said you were drunk at the time and showed me...the photos."
For the first time, Xiao Beisheng experienced the helplessness and madness of being speechless and unable to defend himself.
"Wait, let's sort out the sequence of events." He unbuttoned his coat irritably, his hands on his hips. "Mu Chuchu only came into my room once when I was off guard. That time was shortly after I arrived in Country M. I didn't drink that time. I had been up all night for two nights and was exhausted and needed to rest. Under those circumstances, I would never have touched her. There was indeed a celebration party afterwards, but I returned to the hotel early that time. I have no idea whether she and Gao Xun stayed at the celebration party or went somewhere else."
"It doesn't matter."
Su Man's light words blocked all of Xiao Beisheng's explanations.
"The most important thing now is that Xiao has to do a good job of persuading Mu Chuchu not to spread those things around. These days, gossip still has a huge impact."
Su Man spoke in a businesslike tone, as if she didn't care whether Xiao Beisheng and Mu Chuchu were in trouble or not.
Xiao Beisheng asked: "Su Man, do you believe me?"
"So what if I believe it, so what if I don't? Does it matter?"
“Very important.”
"I don't trust anyone. I don't believe what Mu Chuchu told me 100% either."
What Su Man meant was that she didn't believe Xiao Beisheng 100%.
Originally, Xiao Beisheng wanted to propose to Su Man tonight.
But when Mu Chuchu's incident came out, all plans were disrupted.
Even if Xiao Beisheng wanted to proceed according to the original plan now, it didn't taste right.
Just at this moment, Xiao Beisheng's phone rang. It was Gao Xun.
As soon as Xiao Beisheng picked up the phone, he heard Gao Xun say anxiously, "Mr. Xiao, Mu Chuchu created a small account on the public platform and published a long article under her real name, describing her extramarital affair with you, and even attached photos."
Xiao Beisheng glanced at Su Man, took the phone away from his ear, clicked on the speakerphone, and let Su Man listen with him.
Gao Xun continued, "Dingsheng's Public Relations Department immediately took control of this article, but the overwhelming attention it attracted made it impossible to suppress it. This news has now topped the trending search list. The Public Relations Department has proposed a solution where you need to make a statement clarifying your relationship with her. Providing evidence would be the best solution. Do you wish to clarify?"
What it means is to confront Mu Chuchu head-on.
Coincidentally, this is also what Xiao Beisheng meant.
"Of course we need to clarify it." Xiao Beisheng said.
"In this case, we need to be more aggressive towards Mu Chuchu, you see..."
"I will use any means to achieve my goal." Xiao Beisheng was no longer as merciful as before.
"clear."
After Xiao Beisheng hung up the phone, Su Man said, "I advised Mu Chuchu not to leak this photo, but it seems she didn't listen to me."
She still spoke in a businesslike tone, without a hint of jealousy.
Xiao Beisheng would rather Su Man get angry at him, blame him, question him, and call him a scumbag and a heartless man without any reason.
But Su Man was surprisingly calm.
This made Xiao Beisheng crazy.
He said: "I regret it now. I regret being so kind to Mu Chuchu."
Su Man seemed not to hear what he said. She took out her cell phone and clicked on the news.
"Sure enough, it really ranked first in the hot search, and the popularity has exploded." Su Man tapped her phone calmly, the dim blue light reflected on her face, and her expression was quiet.
Xiao Beisheng felt annoyed and simply turned away from her, facing the sea. "What did the article say?"
Su Man read the article written by Mu Chuchu word by word. Mu Chuchu fabricated a fact and even described it vividly. Xiao Beisheng thought it was a novel written somewhere.
"Okay, I don't want to hear these fictitious details. This is someone else's story."
Xiao Beisheng glanced at Su Man, she was still looking.
He reached out and snatched Su Man's phone, "Don't even look at it, it's all fake."
He gave the article a cursory glance himself.
The more I watch it, the more ridiculous it seems.
Mu Chuchu not only described that night, but also exaggerated the process of her acquaintance with Xiao Beisheng.
The article states that Mu Chuchu initially believed this was a "destined" love, believing Xiao Beisheng to be her "true love" and "Prince Charming." She also believed Xiao Beisheng's feelings for her were "regrettable not meeting each other earlier" and "true love." Unfortunately, Xiao Beisheng was already married, so their relationship with Mu Chuchu could only "become a regret."
However, as the two of them spent time together day and night, they "could not restrain themselves" and their "emotions soared." Finally, the two of them "naturally" developed a relationship that was morally unacceptable.
But later, after Xiao Beisheng got Mu Chuchu, he ruthlessly kicked her away. Mu Chuchu then discovered that all these so-called "coincidences" and "fate" were planned by Xiao Beisheng. He had designed a trap to trick Mu Chuchu into falling into it.
Throughout the article, Xiao Beisheng is portrayed as a scumbag.
Mu Chuchu herself is the image of a pure, innocent and ignorant female college student.
