Chapter 345: Leave Her Alone
I left Hongcheng because of this incident. Now that I've finally opened my own firm, I can't stand the blow. At least, it's not because of this incident. Do you understand? If something can be avoided, why not avoid it? "
This was the first time that Qiao Shiyan clearly listed these crimes in front of Su Man.
Her face burned, and her breathing became short: "I understand...I'm sorry."
Before meeting Qiao Shiyan, she had prepared many explanations, but now, she suddenly felt that those explanations were no longer necessary.
To explain further would be an ungrateful quibble.
Qiao Shiyan didn't say anything else and walked into the house. When passing by Su Man, she felt a chill coming from him.
This kind of Qiao Shiyan is very unfamiliar.
In fact, it should be like this.
Since she received help from Qiao Shiyan, she should be less arrogant and more cautious in her actions.
It’s just that Qiao Shiyan has been so good to her all along, so good that she has become a little carried away.
In her heart, Su Man returned herself to the position of Qiao Shiyan's friend. She warned herself that she would treat him like a friend in the future and always be sensible in everything.
If someone says they don't mind the trouble you cause and can give unconditionally for you, it only means that they are kind-hearted and well-educated, it doesn't mean that you can really do that.
If it happens once or twice, the other party may be able to accept it, but if it happens too many times, even the best feelings will be exhausted.
There should be a sense of propriety and distance between people.
Suman couldn't sleep that night.
She tossed and turned all night long, and only fell asleep at dawn.
When I woke up, it was already past ten o'clock. My phone was filled with calls and text messages from many colleagues, most of whom were asking why Su Man didn't come to work today and whether something had happened. Everyone was very worried about her.
Su Man felt a little warm in her heart.
She called the team leader to ask for leave, replied to her colleagues' messages one by one, and then got up and washed.
His movements were quick and efficient, not at all like the energy of someone who had been up all night.
Aunt Chen heard the noise in the room and came over to knock on the door. "Miss, are you okay?"
Su Man opened the door for Chen Ma. Chen Ma looked worried and stood outside the door to study Su Man's face. "I saw that the light in your room was on all night. You didn't get up this morning. I came to see you and saw that you were sleeping soundly, so I didn't wake you up. I told you to have a good rest. It's not good for you to go to rehearsal in this physical condition."
"It's okay, I just asked for leave from the team leader."
Chen Ma hesitated to speak, and finally said, "My uncle went to work early in the morning."
Su Man and Qiao Shiyan had a quarrel last night, and Chen Ma also heard it.
Su Man responded and turned to look for clothes to take out from the closet.
"Where are you going, miss?"
"Go out for a while." Su Man was full of murderous intent.
When she said she was going out, she didn't even put on makeup, and she just picked a set of long shirt and trousers at random.
She took the printed "scandal photos" that Qiao Shiyan threw to her last night from the bedside and drove out angrily.
Su Man drove at full speed all the way to Dingsheng.
Arriving at the lobby reception desk, she stood in front of the marble counter, her face filled with resentment: "I want to see Xiao Beisheng."
The girls at the front desk recognized Su Man at a glance.
They had received guests in the past when Suman was still the boss's wife.
The girls at the front desk looked at each other. Even though she was just my ex-wife, they didn't dare to be too cold. "Um, please, do you have an appointment?"
"No, so please help me connect an internal line and let them know that there's someone named Su Man looking for Xiao Beisheng."
"Okay, please wait a moment."
There are three front desk clerks, one is the supervisor, and the other two are one slightly younger and the other more experienced.
The young receptionist immediately picked up the phone and tried to connect to the internal line, but the experienced one held the line.
The young receptionist gave her a puzzled look.
The mature receptionist whispered, "Have you forgotten what the current president's wife told you?"
"Oh, I remember now! My wife said that if we see the ex-wife... we should inform her first and not the president. But is that really okay? After all, we're only working for the president."
"You're just too young! Give me a call and I'll tell you."
The young receptionist glanced at the supervisor.
The supervisor also acquiesced.
The phone was handed to the experienced receptionist, who dialed the number, not to the company's internal line, but to Luo Yan's cell phone.
Luo Yan on the other end quickly answered the call.
He probably saw the company's call and knew what was going on. "Why, Su Man is here?"
"Yes, ma'am. Ms. Su requested to see the president, but she didn't have an appointment. We followed your instructions and notified you first to ask your opinion."
"What a pity! I'm not in Haicheng right now, otherwise I would have rushed over to meet her and asked her what she wanted from my husband. You did a good job. You don't need to inform the president. Just say that the president doesn't want to see her," Luo Yan said, then changed her mind, as if watching a play. "Oh no, just tell her that you've already informed the president, but he's busy and asked her to wait in the lobby first."
"Then what?"
"And then? Do you even need to ask? You've almost left her out in the cold, and you just find a random excuse to get rid of her, saying the president doesn't have time to see her. It's that simple."
"Understood, ma'am."
"Okay, I have something else to do here, I'm hanging up."
Su Man didn't know that a secret communication was taking place behind the marble table.
Several receptionists stood up again and relayed to Su Man the same words that Luo Yan had just said.
Su Man said, "Okay, I'll wait in the lobby. Please call me when you are free."
"Okay." The three receptionists said respectfully.
Of course, Su Man did not pin all her hopes on them. She went to the lounge area in the lobby, found a sofa to sit on, and then started calling Xiao Beisheng.
Coincidentally, Xiao Beisheng's phone was also busy.
Maybe he is really busy.
Su Man hung up the phone, closed her eyes, concentrated and held her breath, trying to calm her little universe that was about to explode.
If possible, she would like to rush to Xiao Beisheng immediately.
Twenty minutes passed.
Half an hour.
Forty-five minutes.
One hour...
Su Man still didn't wait for Xiao Beisheng. She looked at the front desk. The three receptionists felt Su Man's gaze and immediately pretended to be busy. Some made phone calls, some received guests, but they didn't dare to look Su Man in the eye.
I was afraid that Suman would come over to ask for an explanation.
Su Man took out her cell phone and dialed Gao Xun's number.
Just as I was about to make a call, a slender figure suddenly walked over to me, "Isn't this my ex-sister-in-law?"
Su Man turned around and saw a young and handsome man with a pair of upturned almond-shaped eyes, looking at her with a half-smile and a hint of evil in his eyes.
Su Man recognized him as Xiao Beisheng's half-brother, Yu Hanming.
"Are you here to see my brother?" Yu Hanming asked.
Su Man looked at him warily and nodded.
"I can take you up there. I'm helping out in my brother's company right now." Yu Hanming's smile widened, and his evil, upturned eyes narrowed into a slit.
