Chapter 178 I have something to ask of you
"Is there any difference?"
"There is a difference. She thought you found a scapegoat to help Ms. Luo Yan get away with it. But in fact, you didn't interfere in anything from beginning to end. You just didn't expose Ms. Luo Yan."
Xiao Beisheng did not intervene.
He asked Luo Yan to hide in Qin Ganyun Mansion while he followed up on the matter.
His original intention was to let Luo Yan surrender himself, and then use his own abilities to help Luo Yan fight for a reduced sentence.
But soon, bad news came from the hospital: the injured person died of his injuries.
The nature of the matter escalated from then on.
When Luo Yan learned that the person was dead, she cried and asked Xiao Beisheng if she would spend the rest of her life in prison or if she would pay for someone else's life. She had suffered so much in the first half of her life and thought that she could live a good life with Xiao Beisheng in the second half.
Xiao Beisheng couldn't bear to see her crying.
He owed Luo Yan a great favor and was unable to personally send Luo Yan to surrender.
Even if he could fight for Luo Yan, he could only change the death penalty to life imprisonment. Luo Yan's physical foundation had been completely drained for Xiao Beisheng. What was the difference between letting her go to jail for her whole life and asking her to die?
Xiao Beisheng was in agony and distress for several months, and then the police convicted him.
"Whether I intervened or not, the final result would be the same." Xiao Beisheng's tone was light, and if you didn't listen carefully, you couldn't detect the hidden melancholy in it.
Gao Xun shook his head: "According to Mu Chuchu's personality, she will definitely rely on you."
"Mu Chuchu, like me back then, believes in absolute truth and believes that there is absolute justice in this world. But what kind of justice is delayed? There are some things that cannot be achieved simply by relying on so-called justice. You must have strength and power to protect the people you want to protect and everything you want to protect."
Xiao Beisheng's words seemed to be answering Gao Xun, but also seemed to be talking to himself.
After getting in the car, he called Suman.
The phone rang twice and Su Man answered it, but there was some noise on Su Man's end.
"Are you home?"
"Here!" Su Man replied immediately.
A dark color flowed in Xiao Beisheng's eyes. "I've finished my work today and will be home soon. Is there anything you want to eat? I'll bring it back to you."
"Well... now that you ask, I suddenly feel greedy. I want to eat Lao Xuan Ji's walnut cookies and their Earl Grey black tea cake. Oh! By the way, there are also their cream puffs. Let's have some of each flavor. Is it too far?" Su Man's tone was light and leisurely, just like a little woman who stayed at home, doing nothing, waiting for her man to come home.
"Won't."
“Thank you for your hard work!”
"If you want to eat it, I will definitely buy it for you." Xiao Beisheng said in a doting tone.
If Su Man had not just followed him and heard his conversation with Mu Chuchu, she would probably have really fallen into Xiao Beisheng's gentle trap and would have really felt from the bottom of her heart that Xiao Beisheng was sincere to her.
There is only one Lao Xuan Ji restaurant in Haicheng, and it is far away from Dilanyuan.
The flavors that Su Man picked still require time to make and may not be available ready-made. Even if Xiao Beisheng orders them in advance, he still has to wait.
She did it on purpose, of course, to buy herself some time to go home.
After hanging up the phone with Xiao Beisheng, she quickly got back into the car and drove to Dilan Garden.
When Su Man returned to Dilan Garden, Xiao Beisheng had not returned yet.
She quickly drove the car to the basement and took the elevator up. Just as she reached the first floor, Su Man heard the sound of a car driving into the yard.
Xiao Beisheng is back.
Su Man was so scared that she rushed upstairs.
She quickened her pace and took off her outer clothes.
Normally at home, she wouldn't dress so formally.
She went back to her room, changed into home clothes, picked up her going-out shoes, and quickly rushed to the entrance of the living room. When Xiao Beisheng went out, the shoes were still neatly placed at the entrance.
Although she was not sure whether Xiao Beisheng remembered, she had to make sure that nothing went wrong just in case.
As soon as the shoes were put away, Xiao Beisheng pressed the combination lock and the door opened.
Su Man stood up and greeted him with a sweet smile, "You're back!"
She hugged Xiao Beisheng's neck, and because she was too passionate, Xiao Beisheng took a step back.
Gao Xun followed behind Xiao Beisheng, carrying bags of things he bought for Su Man. When he saw this scene, he coughed lightly, lowered his head, and glanced at the ground.
Xiao Beisheng put his arm around Su Man's waist, stood up straight, and when he lowered his head slightly, he saw Su Man's low collar.
He pressed Su Man into his arms and said to Gao Xun without turning his head, "Okay, give me the things and you can go back first."
"Okay!"
Gao Xun handed the bags in his hand to Xiao Beisheng and left quickly.
Mr. Xiao is not happy about anyone disturbing their love.
Xiao Beisheng closed the door behind him. Su Man let go of him and tried to take the food from his hand.
Xiao Beisheng was helpless: "It turns out that he is not passionate about me, but passionate about these foods."
Su Man put the food on the cabinet and hugged Xiao Beisheng again, "How could that be? Of course I'm passionate about you."
She rubbed her head against Xiao Beisheng's chest like a cat.
Xiao Beisheng smiled dotingly, but his eyes remained expressionless as he glanced at the shoe cabinet.
Her shoes were neatly placed on the shoe cabinet, just like when he left this morning, as if no one had touched them.
However, there was a pair of shoes with some new stains on the soles.
These are oil stains that only appear when you go to certain places, such as the old residential area where Mu Chuchu lives.
In the past, Suman would not go to those places.
"What did you do today?" Xiao Beisheng brushed away the hair that had rubbed against Su Man's face.
"sleep."
Xiao Beisheng raised his eyebrows, "Sleep until now?"
Su Man pretended to complain, "Someone didn't know how to control himself last night. I was very tired."
Xiao Beisheng smiled gently, "Sorry."
His big hands caressed Su Man's waist, which was thin and soft. As soon as the two of them were close to each other for a while, an invisible fire started burning.
At this time in the past, Su Man would have pushed him away.
But now she let him hold her, and she took the initiative, hugging his neck and sticking to him, "There is something I want to discuss with you."
"Oh? That's rare. You haven't asked me for help in a while."
Xiao Beisheng was actually very happy that Su Man had something to ask of him.
This way he feels that he is still needed.
"You suggested before that I open a personal dance studio. I've been thinking about it recently and I think it might be feasible."
When Xiao Beisheng mentioned it before, Su Man didn't take it seriously.
But that idea, like a small seed, was accidentally thrown into Suman's heart. As different events in the outside world happened, they all became nutrients to water the seed, allowing the seed to take root, sprout, and break through the soil.
What happened today further fueled this idea.
Su Man felt that she still had to have a side job of her own.
In this way, even if she leaves Xiao Beisheng in the future, she can live well on her own.
"That's right..." She said, drawing circles on Xiao Beisheng's chest with her fingers, "I wonder if President Xiao would provide some financial support?"
Xiao Beisheng's smile deepened. "Thank you, Mrs. Xiao, for listening to my advice. Since it's my suggestion, I will definitely be responsible for funding, site selection, and market assessment. I will also find someone to help with it."
This is equivalent to Su Man not having to do anything and just being a hands-off boss.
Su Man quickly said, "No, no, I've already done the market assessment myself. You just need to help me choose the shop. I'll take care of the decoration myself."
"Have you made your own assessment?"
"Yes."
"That's right. Su Man is a well-known person who is good at dealing with people and is considerate in her work. I shouldn't underestimate her." Xiao Beisheng smiled.
