Chapter 469: Setting Up a Scheme
"Really? I thought you were holding a grudge against me and still cared about Lawyer Qiao cheating on you."
Gao Xun didn't finish his words when he felt Xiao Beisheng's death gaze and immediately shut his mouth.
My neck feels cold.
Xiao Beisheng took a deep drag on his cigarette before he said listlessly, "Qiao Shiyan is different from Gu Ziheng. Gu Ziheng is a bit childish, but that's precisely why Su Man can easily control him. Moreover, compared to Qiao Shiyan, although Gu Ziheng did something to hurt Su Man, from beginning to end, it was all because of his love for Su Man. But Qiao Shiyan is different. He wavered..."
"I don't quite understand." Gao Xun seemed to understand, "You mean, as long as it's in the name of love, you can do something to hurt the other person? If so, isn't this love very selfish? I think the essence of love is to act on the other person and make the other person feel good. It's not about forcing it on the other person just because you think it's good, regardless of whether the other person needs it or not..."
Gao Xun was getting a little excited, and at the end he opened the microphone with great passion, even unable to stop talking.
But as he was talking, he noticed that Mr. Xiao's expression was gloomy, as if he was thinking about something.
Gao Xun was a little scared and stopped talking immediately.
"Ah, I don't understand either. I've been single for a lifetime, so I won't make any comments. I'd better study the company's financial statements more."
Financial reports are much easier to read than relationships.
After Gao Xun left, Xiao Beisheng sat alone in the study for a long time.
He muttered to himself, "Selfish love...?"
The magnificent and bright lights, glaring in the night, reveal a sense of vast loneliness.
-
When Su Man returned to her home, she still felt a little unreal.
Xiao Beisheng let her go so easily?
Based on past experience, even if Xiao Beisheng agreed to her request, he might not be sincere. He would only wait for the oriole to come after him and kill Su Man halfway.
But a week has passed and Xiao Beisheng has not come to complain to Su Man.
Su Man thought again after she was puzzled:
Xiao Beisheng had locked her up for so long, but there was no response from Su Changhai.
Did he know that locking up Suman was useless, so he gave up on her as bait?
When you think about it this way, it makes a lot more sense...
on the other hand.
Su Man went around in circles and returned to Gu Ziheng. This incident caused quite a stir in their circle.
It’s not surprising that people in the industry know this.
Unexpectedly, Fang Zhiming also asked Su Man about this matter:
"I heard that you've been in love recently? Is it with the young master from the Gu family?"
"Haha, yes. I wanted to keep a low profile, but I didn't expect you to have heard about it too."
Su Man was a little surprised that Fang Zhiming also knew about the things in their circle.
The only people who knew about their reunion were some mutual friends.
If people outside the circle don't deliberately ask, they won't know.
Fang Zhiming didn't directly answer Su Man's question, but changed the subject: "What would Xiao Beisheng say if you dated someone else? Would he let you go?"
"This time we agreed that from now on, we'll keep our separate ways and he won't interfere with me anymore."
"Is that so... That's good."
Fang Zhiming said yes, but his tone was different. Instead, he sounded like he was thinking about something.
After that, Su Man clearly felt that Fang Zhiming's attitude towards her became colder.
I don’t know if it’s Su Man’s illusion, but she always feels that as long as she is involved with Xiao Beisheng, Fang Zhiming will appear in her life.
But once Su Man and Xiao Beisheng had no relationship, Fang Zhiming no longer had much contact with Su Man.
Before that, she and Xiao Beisheng had a divorce, and she married Qiao Shiyan. Fang Zhiming disappeared for more than a year.
Now that she has reunited with Gu Ziheng, Fang Zhiming has faded from her sight again.
All these things, one by one, are connected into a clue.
As if reminding her of something.
She knew Fang Zhiming wanted revenge, and she also knew that Fang Zhiming was suspected of using her, but it seemed that there was more to it than that...
Su Man couldn't figure out what it was.
She has more important things to do right now.
It was the "bet" with Gu Ziheng.
One day.
At dusk.
Gu Ziheng and Su Man agreed to meet at a sky restaurant.
Su Man arrived a little early. She leaned on the glass railing and looked at the river not far away.
The breeze from the river is particularly pleasant.
As if she noticed someone staring at her, Su Man turned around suddenly and saw Gu Ziheng, who had just arrived, standing stupidly at the corner of the stairs, staring at her in a daze.
When Suman caught him, his face turned red.
He walked towards Su Man with his head held high, frowning and looking a little angry: "Didn't we meet at 6:30? Why did you come early?"
Su Man didn't know why he was acting like a spoiled brat again, so she asked:
"Is there anything wrong with coming early?"
"You coming early makes me look ungentlemanly!"
Su Man chuckled, glanced at her watch, and said, "It's six thirty now. You're very punctual and gentlemanly."
Gu Ziheng's hair was smoothed down a little, and he sat down in his seat, but he was still a little reluctant.
Su Man continued to praise: "This location is really well chosen, the scenery is great, and you can even see the river."
Gu Ziheng said proudly: "Don't you see how popular they are? This location, this time, was reserved several months in advance..."
By this time, Gu Ziheng felt completely relieved.
The effort was not in vain, it was seen and I received praise.
Su Man could also see that Gu Ziheng had dressed up carefully in order to have dinner with her today.
But this cannot be exposed.
Because Gu Ziheng has a strong sense of self-esteem and wants to save face.
If you praise this, it will be counterproductive.
Su Man knew very well how to stroke Gu Ziheng's coat, and she could do it almost effortlessly.
After ordering the dishes, Suman began to get to the point:
"Have you been doing what I told you to do these days, pretending to complain to Luo Yan about your bad relationship with me?"
"Yes, I consult her every day as my psychological counselor. I was the one who took the initiative to contact her a few days ago. After that, she came to ask me every day how things were going with me, punctually, like punching a clock in."
"She gave you a lot of advice, didn't she?"
Gu Ziheng nodded. "She's very enthusiastic and asked me to treat you well. She really hopes that we can get along well. Su Man, you have misunderstood her too much. Sister Luo Yan is not that bad."
Su Man laughed softly, with a mocking arc at the corner of her lips.
"Now, use your phone to send her a message saying that you saw me dating another man alone outside, and we even went to a hotel and it seemed like they were planning to get a room."
"You're fucking crazy!" Gu Ziheng cursed.
This sound attracted the attention of many guests at other tables.
Su Man was very calm, looking at Gu Ziheng confidently and calmly.
Gu Ziheng swallowed his saliva and asked, "Do you really want to do this?"
Su Man nodded, her clear eyes filled with watery light, like alluring autumn water.
Looking at these eyes, Gu Ziheng's heart moved slightly.
He complained, saying how embarrassing it was that he was cheated on right after they reconciled, but in the end, he listened to Su Man, picked up his phone, and sent a message to Luo Yan.
"What should we do next?" Gu Ziheng asked.
