Chapter 3: Stop bothering me
"Tell me, what's going on between you and Gu Ziheng?"
"We broke up. He was the one who proposed it."
"The engagement news has already been announced, do you think it's just a child's play?"
"He cheated on me, and that woman is pregnant with his child. It's fine if he brought it up, but I don't want to get entangled with him anymore."
"Current commodity!" Shen Qing cursed.
I don't know whether to scold Gu Ziheng for being immoral or scold Su Man for being embarrassed for not being able to catch a man.
The more Chen Qing thought about it, the angrier he got. He walked over and poked Su Man's temples with his finger: "Do you think you can climb up to the Xiao family? Who is Xiao Beisheng? Can he look down on your background? I'm going to put it here today. Either you go and reconcile with Gu Ziheng and continue the wedding. Or, start going back to socialize with me and then arrange a blind date."
When talking about blind dates, Su Man shuddered.
Before, Shen Qing told Su Man about a real estate tycoon in his seventies.
He had two deceased wives and more than a dozen children, some of whom were old enough to be Suman's parents.
As soon as the other party opened his mouth, he asked Su Man to observe the three obediences and four virtues and to serve their entire family wholeheartedly after marriage.
This is not marrying a wife, it's clearly marrying a nanny.
Su Man also heard that although the tycoon was old, he was very extravagant in that aspect, and several of his concubines and young celebrities had been ruined by him in bed.
Later, after she started dating Gu Ziheng, Shen Qing saw that Gu Ziheng's family background was comparable to that of the tycoon, so she gave up letting Su Man continue the blind date.
Su Man was put back into the room by Shen Qing.
After closing the door, Su Man threw herself onto the bed and rolled into the quilt, tears silently sliding down the corners of her eyes.
Can hold on for a while longer.
Hold on for a while longer...
Once she gets the offer from Haicheng Art School, she'll be able to break free from her aunt's control and move out of this house...
She took out her cell phone and saw Gu Ziheng bombarding her with calls and text messages like crazy.
It was nothing more than questioning why she was hooking up with his best friend.
Su Man was annoyed and blocked the person directly.
The contact information of Xiao Beisheng, who had just been added, lay quietly in the address book.
Although she seemed to have reached an agreement with Xiao Beisheng, she still felt that the other party was most likely just in a spur of the moment and might forget about it the next moment.
So in the following days, Su Man didn't take the initiative to contact Xiao Beisheng, let alone meet Xiao Beisheng.
She is busy with the onboarding process.
And Shen Qing didn't let Su Man delay for too long, and couldn't wait to take her to celebrity banquets and business receptions.
At the banquet.
Chen Qing took Su Man and moved through the crowd, toasting and socializing.
A beauty like Suman undoubtedly became the focus of the whole audience.
Many wealthy businessmen and political celebrities gave Suman a good look.
Who says appearance is not a good thing?
In such an environment, beauty can be exchanged for a certain value.
One night, Shen Qing negotiated several major projects, and Su Man also exchanged contact information with many people.
At the end of the banquet, Shen Qing suddenly pushed Su Man to a building materials dealer: "Boss Zhang, our Man Man is now in your care. If she does anything wrong, please bear with her."
"Mr. Shen has something to do first. Zhang will definitely live up to your trust. I will send Manman back home after she has had enough fun."
No matter how slow Su Man was, she knew what this meant.
Su Man has a bad reputation. Someone came to propose marriage to her despite the bad rumors, but Su Man blocked them with her relationship with Gu Ziheng, which offended many people.
Now she was dumped by Gu Ziheng on the eve of their engagement.
To a certain extent, Suman has lost the advantage in negotiating with the other party in the marriage.
Instead of wasting her youth and beauty, it would be better to maximize her value and give her to interested bosses as an exchange of interests.
Thinking of this, Su Man felt dizzy and as if she had fallen into an ice cellar. Her limbs were cold and her heart was even colder.
Her aunt could really be so cruel to her.
"Are you tired, Manman? Come sit over there?"
Zhang Taihua leaned closer and smiled at Su Man with his teeth showing, his attentiveness mixed with a hint of vulgarity.
After he finished speaking, without waiting for Su Man to refuse, he put his arm around Su Man's shoulders and took Su Man to a corner. His intentions were obvious.
This was at a banquet, and he was already so impatient.
Su Man endured it with disgust, while quickly thinking of ways to get rid of this old pervert.
After sitting down, Zhang Taihua indeed became dishonest.
A rough old hand was placed on Suman's thigh.
Su Man stood up as if she had been electrocuted, her face looking a little grim. For the future situation of the Su and Shen families, she forced herself not to get angry: "I need to go to the bathroom. I just drank too much."
"Okay, go ahead and come back as soon as possible."
Zhang Taihua looked at Su Man with a smile, as if he was looking at a lamb to be slaughtered that could not escape from his palm.
Suman walked quickly in the other direction.
She actually didn't know where the bathroom was, she just wanted to escape first.
But unexpectedly, Zhang Taihua also followed behind him.
Su Man's heart was filled with alarm and she started jogging in her eight-centimeter high heels.
Today Suman was wearing a mermaid long dress with a slim fit design, which highlighted her perfect waist-to-hip ratio, but it was difficult for her to run.
She was worried that Zhang Taihua would catch up with her, so she pushed open the door of a private room.
Unexpectedly, as soon as the door opened, Su Man met Gu Ziheng's gaze.
Gu Ziheng sat in the middle of the sofa opposite the entrance, a cigarette in his mouth, playing cards with a group of people. Next to him sat a few friends in the circle, who Su Man was also familiar with.
What made the atmosphere most eerie was that Gu Ziheng's girlfriend Xie Yubing was also there.
Gu Ziheng stared at Su Man, his whole body tense.
Yu Wenshu, who was sitting next to Xu Xiuyuan, noticed that something was wrong with Gu Ziheng. Following Gu Ziheng's gaze, he also saw Su Man, and immediately nudged Xu Xiuyuan, who was dealing cards next to him, with his elbow.
"Well, are you complaining about the crowded space, or do you want to be gay with me..." Xu Xiuyuan raised his eyes, and the words got stuck in his throat, as if he had seen a ghost.
Xu Xiuyuan said, "You guys really got your bet right. She'll definitely be tempted to get back together after being separated from Master Gu for just a few days."
"Mr. Gu, I'm afraid she didn't come here to stop you today!"
When Xie Yubing saw Su Man, her pure and innocent little face turned pale in an instant.
She hugged Gu Ziheng's arm tightly, feeling uneasy and frightened, as if she had suffered a great injustice.
Su Man didn't do anything, but it seemed like she was bullied.
Gu Ziheng retracted his gaze, ignoring the person at the door. "Do you still want to play? Continue."
Xie Yubing's face was pale, and he said to Gu Ziheng in a weak voice: "Ziheng, I don't feel well, I want to go back..."
"What's wrong? Are you feeling uncomfortable? Do you want to go to the hospital?" Gu Ziheng's voice was gentle and considerate.
Seeing Xie Yubing's expression, Xu Xiuyuan couldn't bear it any longer and said to Su Man directly, "Su Man, he and Xie Yubing are doing well now, why are you here again? You and Master Gu, ask yourselves, are you completely innocent? My sister-in-law treats Master Gu a thousand times better than you do. You should know better and stop pestering her."
After seeing these people, Su Man had no intention of going in.
"You're overthinking it. I was just looking for someone and went to the wrong place." After saying that, she walked out without changing her expression or heartbeat.
What she is more worried about now is Zhang Taihua.
Because she was distracted, she turned around and bumped into someone's arms.
