Chapter 38 The Pot Comes from the Sky
He turned his eyes away, not looking at her, and said, "Get out."
Su Man was puzzled. This man's temper was too weird and changeable!
Su Man ignored him and turned to a reflective glass to tidy up her appearance. When she was done and turned around, she saw Xiao Beisheng lying on the sofa with one hand on his eyes, as if he treated her as air and didn't want to pay any attention to her.
Su Man left the lounge quietly without saying goodbye.
At the party, the children played by themselves while the parents gathered together to chat according to their closeness.
Those gathered on Old Madam Xiao's side were all wealthy and noble ladies.
The fact that Qiao Shixin can go to the same school as these kids from wealthy families shows that Qiao Shiyan is willing to spend a lot of money on his sister.
Luo Yan sat next to Old Madam Xiao, looking respectful like a junior serving an elder.
No wonder Xiao Beisheng had a stomachache and Luo Yan was not with him.
It turns out that it is a way to show filial piety in front of the elders.
Su Man didn't want to go to where Luo Yan was. Just as she was about to leave, a noble lady waved to her, "Xiao Man, come here."
"Mrs. Liang." Su Man also nodded politely.
This Mrs. Liang had a good relationship with Shen Qing. Su Man had attended many afternoon teas and salons with Shen Qing and had dealt with her.
Su Man had no choice but to come forward as invited, and Mrs. Liang gave her a seat.
A few seats away, Old Madam Xiao looked at Su Man with a meaningful gaze again. This time, the old lady was more straightforward. After making eye contact with Su Man, she even smiled at her in a friendly manner.
Su Man also curled the corners of her lips and nodded slightly humbly.
Luo Yan was very keenly aware of the interaction between Su Man and Old Madam Xiao. She looked at Su Man with some vigilance and a hint of warning.
Su Man pretended not to see it and turned around to chat and laugh with Mrs. Liang.
This kind of rich lady situation, Suman is very good at it, and all the rich ladies present are attracted by Suman.
Old Madam Xiao didn't participate much, but she listened attentively to Su Man chatting with the rich ladies, and smiled with satisfaction from time to time.
But towards Luo Yan, he seemed to be unable to see Luo Yan's attentiveness and gave Luo Yan the cold face several times.
Luo Yan could hardly maintain the smile on her face.
Su Man walked away halfway, and Madam Xiao spoke to Mrs. Liang: "This little niece of the Shen family is quite clever. I wonder who will take advantage of this opportunity to marry her. This girl has the demeanor of a mistress of the house. She can be a good wife and help her husband outside. She is a great helper to him."
When Luo Yan heard Old Madam Xiao praising Su Man like that, her expression turned visibly worse.
Madam Xiao sneered, "The ability to speak well and handle things well is something most people can't really learn. With a little cleverness, she can make everyone happy and comfortable, and also make things happen perfectly. Some people, with the same brain and mouth, spend a lot of money and work hard to package themselves as ladies from noble families, but they are just empty facades and are still just idiots and lowly people."
Luo Yan stood up suddenly.
"Grandma, in front of so many people, you have to embarrass me like this?"
Everyone looked over at once, and the comfortable atmosphere of casual conversation came to an abrupt end.
Madam Xiao slowly put down the teacup in her hand: "Did I say anything? Did I name you by name, saying that you are the straw bag and the untouchable? No matter how bad you are, you are still the mayor's daughter, although you were born outside. Oh, but I remember."
Old Madam Xiao is a murderer and a heartbreaker. She is so harsh in her words that she shows no mercy to others.
Luo Yan stood there, her face showing no sign of grievance or sadness, but her eyes were a little gloomy. I don't know what she was thinking with each passing minute.
After a while, she said, "I respect you because you are Beisheng's grandmother, but respect is mutual. Since you look down on me, there is no need for me to stay here and humiliate myself."
She glanced at Su Man and said, "You think Su Man is good, but you don't ask what her reputation is like outside, and what people in the young master circle say about her. I think you are old, blind and deaf, and you can't hear the rumors outside."
"Miss Luo, how can you talk like that?" Mrs. Liang was also unhappy. Su Man was the one she called over. Openly criticizing Su Man was just a slap in Mrs. Liang's face.
Why would Luo Yan care about these things?
These rich ladies only care about Suman, and she doesn't like any of them.
She started to walk away, and just as she turned around, she ran into Xiao Beisheng who had just come out of the lounge. He was standing there looking at her, his handsome brows tightly furrowed.
Su Man watched the show from the outside: Oh wow, so exciting.
Luo Yan looked at Xiao Beisheng, and his stubborn face finally showed a trace of grievance, "Beisheng..."
Xiao Beisheng walked over to her, took her hand, and said to Madam Xiao, "Grandma, Luo Yan is the one I brought here. Why do you have to embarrass her? And also embarrass your grandson?"
"Didn't you hear what she said just now? This is the good granddaughter-in-law you found for me!" Old Madam Xiao was intimidating without even getting angry.
"Luo Yan has offended you. I apologize to you on her behalf."
As he spoke, he took Luo Yan's hand and walked out of the hotel.
Madam Xiao called out to him, “Stop!”
Xiao Beisheng stopped.
Madam Xiao asked painfully, "For such an outsider, you don't even want your grandma?
Xiao Beisheng didn't move.
Luo Yan saw his struggle, gently pulled his hand, and begged him to leave with her.
Su Man was thrilled in her heart.
The two most important women posed such a difficult problem to Xiao Beisheng in public. No matter what choice he made, it would be wrong. No matter which side he chose, it would lead to bad consequences.
Su Man wanted to see how the CEO of Dingsheng, who was so successful in the business world, would properly handle this situation and whether he would be blinded by the beauty.
At this moment, a bright and beautiful girl ran up to Old Madam Xiao and complained unhappily: "Grandma! Aunt Luo Yan is right, why are you driving her away?"
When Old Madam Xiao saw her great-granddaughter standing by Luo Yan's side, she immediately flew into a rage: "She wanted to leave on her own accord. When did I ever chase her away? She's really rebellious... This little rascal has corrupted all of my Xiao family's descendants!!"
Su Man guessed that this girl should be the great-grandson of the Xiao family.
Xiao Beisheng's niece or something like that.
The girl suddenly pointed at Su Man and said, "She is a bad woman. She hooks up with men everywhere and has ambiguous relationships with many people. Grandma, would you allow such a woman to marry into our Xiao family? Anyway, I look down on such women."
Su Man, who was still eating melons, was immediately confused.
When a person is sitting in a melon field, a pot falls from the sky?
What does Suman have to do with their family quarrel?
Qiao Shixin suddenly appeared out of nowhere, rushed over and pushed the girl down, "What gives you the right to slander Teacher Su like this!"
The girl screamed and reached out to scratch Qiao Shixin.
Two teenage girls were wrestling on the ground.
"Ah—Qiao Shixin, you actually dared to hit me!!"
"I'm hitting you for your dirty mouth, you stinking cesspool! Are you pissed? You're spewing shit all over your mouth... Apologize to Teacher Su!"
"I don't!"
"Apologize or not?!"
"I don't!!!"
