Chapter 215 Roadblock
Xiao Beisheng took Su Man out of the theater.
Su Man recognized that this was the direction to the parking lot.
"Where are you going?" Su Man asked.
"Aren't you going along with my arrangements?"
"It's up to you, but I have the right to know where we're going, right?"
"Then don't ask."
Su Man stood there and didn't move.
Xiao Beisheng took several steps before he realized that Su Man had not caught up with him. He turned around and saw Su Man standing five or six steps behind him with a wooden face.
His handsome face was slightly cold. He walked back and wanted to hold Su Man's hand, but he couldn't even touch her fingertips. Su Man took another step back, a little further away from him.
Xiao Beisheng narrowed his eyes and asked, "Walk by yourself, or do you want me to carry you?"
Su Man pursed her lips, very angry.
She knew that if she didn't cooperate, he would really carry her away, which would be very unpleasant.
Xiao Beisheng took a step forward, took her hand forcefully and pulled her away without saying anything.
Su Man took a few steps and felt something was wrong.
What is going on?
It was clearly Xiao Beisheng who made the mistake, how could he be so righteous?
Su Man's temper came up and she struggled to break free from Xiao Beisheng's hand, but failed. Xiao Beisheng held her hand even harder than before, almost squeezing her hand tightly.
"Xiao Beisheng! It hurts! Let go!" Su Man shouted.
Perhaps these words irritated Xiao Beisheng's nerves. He suddenly pulled Su Man into his arms and said fiercely: "I won't let go. Since you married me, I won't let you go easily!"
His tone softened, even pleading. "I know you're angry and aggrieved. This kind of thing would be hard for anyone to accept, but I ask you to believe me. Luo Yan and I really have nothing to do with each other. Don't give up a relationship so easily, okay? I can't say I'm completely innocent in this matter. My mistake was letting someone take advantage of the situation, frame me, and make you suffer."
Su Man was surprisingly quiet, just looking at him quietly:
"Why? You clearly want to reconcile with Luo Yan. Now that you have this opportunity, why don't you take this opportunity to announce your relationship to the world? Or do you think Luo Yan will be wronged if she marries you as a mistress?"
"I don't care what happens to her!"
Xiao Beisheng's emotions were a little out of control. "During this period of time, how I treated you, can't you feel it? How I feel about you, don't you understand?"
Xiao Beisheng's expression revealed hurt.
Su Man felt that his acting skills were getting better and better, and she was almost deceived by his expression.
"You're very good to me, but you're also not bad to Luo Yan. When Luo Yan gets into trouble, the first person she looks for is you. No matter what your schedule is, you can push it all aside for her. She is your debt, responsibility, and the most important thing to you."
Xiao Beisheng frowned, "So you've kept all those things in mind. I didn't expect you to mind so much. Since you can't get over it, why don't you tell me?"
Su Man smiled dejectedly: "I don't have the confidence to shake the relationship that binds you so deeply."
"My feelings towards you are different from my feelings towards her." Xiao Beisheng said.
Su Man said: "Things have come to this point, and the ugliness has been enough. If it continues, it will not benefit anyone."
She pulled her hand back.
This time, Xiao Beisheng didn't catch her, and her hand easily broke free.
Su Man didn't know whether he felt guilty because she had just touched upon his secrets and pointed out so clearly that he was worried about Luo Yan.
She said, "Now that we have made things clear, right?"
Xiao Beisheng said, "Come back to the old house with me. Grandma wants to see you."
Su Man secretly gasped.
The road to divorce is full of obstacles.
When she first married Xiao Beisheng, it was an inexplicable accident and everything went smoothly. But she didn't expect that the road to divorce would be full of obstacles.
Who would have thought that this unpopular marriage would be so unexpected.
"Are we going now?" Su Man asked.
"Well, grandma is waiting for you," Xiao Beisheng said, and added, "I'm not lying to you. If you don't believe me, you can call and ask grandma for confirmation."
"I don't disbelieve you."
Su Man made up her mind. This day would come sooner or later anyway. She could not avoid it even if she tried. She might as well face the problem head on. "Okay, I'll go back with you. Let's go."
The two of them came all the way to the old house.
Aunt Mei was waiting for Su Man downstairs and led Su Man upstairs to meet Mrs. Xiao.
"The old lady only saw the young lady. Young master, you should wait downstairs now." Aunt Mei said to Xiao Beisheng with a smile.
Xiao Beisheng nodded and asked Su Man to follow Aunt Mei upstairs.
Xiao Tian knew that something was going to happen at home today. The atmosphere in the old house had been very low these days, and she could sense something.
She went to Xiao Beisheng and asked nervously, "Cousin, aren't you going up with me? Coax your cousin's wife and ask her not to divorce you."
Xiao Beisheng subconsciously put his hand into his pocket, wanting to smoke for no reason, but his hand found nothing.
Then he remembered that Su Man didn't like the smell of cigarettes and had mentioned that smoking was not conducive to pregnancy, so he had quit smoking a long time ago.
"Don't worry, we can't get divorced. Grandma won't let her divorce me." Xiao Beisheng has confidence in Old Madam Xiao.
Xiao Tian nodded:
"That's right. Before you fell in love with my cousin's wife, grandma had been trying to bring you two together. Grandma is so satisfied with my cousin's wife that even if she wants to divorce now, grandma will stop her."
What Xiao Tian said was clearly the truth, but Xiao Beisheng felt inexplicably irritated.
He thought, maybe he was craving for cigarettes.
upstairs.
Madam Xiao was not in the Buddhist temple.
The house here faces west and is cold all year round. As soon as Su Man entered the house, she felt a gust of cold wind. Now that she has stayed here for a long time, she feels cold from the feet up, and she can only grit her teeth and endure it.
Madam Xiao sat in the middle of the pearwood sofa and beckoned to Su Man:
"Xiao Man, come and sit down."
Su Man shook her head: "I won't sit here, grandma."
"Alas," Old Madam Xiao looked at her, her eyes deep, showing the concern of an elder for a younger generation, as well as many complicated emotions. "Child, you may look weak on the outside, but in fact, you are stronger and more stubborn than anyone else. I understand you. So, grandma won't try to persuade you. No matter how you handle this matter, our Xiao family will agree to it. Grandma has only one condition, and that is that I don't agree to your divorce from Bei Sheng."
Right from the start, the framework was set for Su Man.
Don't play the emotional card, just talk about conditions.
They are indeed a family of merchants.
Su Man said, "Grandma, I don't ask for anything, and I don't want anything. I just want a divorce."
Madam Xiao looked at her deeply. "Are you so determined? Even if you divorce Bei Sheng, our Xiao family will not let Luo Yan enter the family. You've given up this position for nothing. Who will fill it? Who else could be more suitable than you? Looking across the entire Haicheng, those famous ladies are not even half as good as you."
"Su Man is the one who failed grandma and misunderstood her."
Su Man lowered her head, determined not to change her mind.
"Although the Xiao family is not as capable as outsiders say, it is more than capable of keeping a daughter-in-law. I don't want things to get so ugly between us." Old Madam Xiao's tone was still soft and gentle, but her words were full of threats.
Su Man already knew Madam Xiao's methods, and she had already thought of a countermeasure.
Success or failure depends on this one move.
"Grandma, you've always wanted a great-grandson. What if I tell you I'm pregnant with Beisheng's child?"
