Chapter 5 The Only Exception
Just when Suman thought he was about to do something, the phone in his pocket vibrated.
Xiao Beisheng picked up the phone, "What's the matter?"
"Where are you? You just sat down and you're gone again. Did you go out to pick up girls?"
Gu Ziheng's voice on the phone was particularly clear in the quiet environment.
Xiao Beisheng glanced at Su Man and asked meaningfully into the phone, "What are you worried about?"
"...What are you worrying about? Stop being so narcissistic. Who the hell is worried about you?"
"Who are you worried about me being with?"
"I don't understand what you are saying. It's up to you whether you want to come or not. You're asking me to come and play but you're still urging me." Gu Ziheng hung up the phone cursing.
But both of them knew Gu Ziheng's character very well, and Gu Ziheng felt guilty.
Su Man chuckled: "If I didn't know, I would have thought you two were in love."
Xiao Beisheng glanced at her, and the voice-controlled light was on again, and the ambiguous atmosphere just now disappeared completely.
Xiao Beisheng pushed the door open and went out, "Let's go."
He resumed his cold, aloof, and aloof demeanor.
Su Man followed him, observing his tall figure. His broad shoulders, narrow waist, and long legs rivaled those of a model. The dark grey suit he wore was a solemn and measured presence, perfectly tailored to his figure, outlining his tall, slender features. The sharp folds echoed the man himself, imposing and oppressive.
Xiao Beisheng sent Su Man back to Junlanju, the villa where she now lives with her uncle and aunt.
What Su Man didn't tell Xiao Beisheng was that if she couldn't go with Zhang Taihua tonight, her aunt would definitely not forgive her.
This is her family affair. He can help once or twice, but if he does it too many times, even the Bodhisattva will get annoyed, let alone Xiao Beisheng.
Suman was not wrong.
As soon as he got home, Shen Qing asked Su Man to kneel in the study.
There was no heating in the study, and it was freezing cold in the deep winter of December.
Su Man was wearing this dress, and she had originally put on a mink vest to keep warm outside. When she got home just now, the heating in the house was very strong, so she took it off and gave it to Chen Ma out of habit. Now when she came to the study, she shuddered.
It's so cold.
Suman knelt on the floor resigned to her fate.
Her body soon became stiff, and even though the wooden floor was covered with carpet, her knees were still painful.
The door of the study opened and Shen Qing walked in with a thin whip.
"Take off your clothes. It's not worth ruining such an expensive dress just to teach you a lesson."
Su Man did as she was told, and her dress was taken off, exposing a large area of skin to the air.
cold.
And... humiliation.
More than forty minutes of whipping and scolding.
Shen Qing was finally tired, so he left Su Man in the study and went back to his room to rest.
Shen Qing drank a lot of wine tonight, and his attack was much more ruthless than before.
Su Man's legs had been numb for a long time. With trembling hands, she picked up the dress beside her and covered herself with it. She sat in the study for a long time before her legs regained some feeling.
She tried to force herself to stand up, but just as she stood up, she fell back.
The wound on my back was torn and it hurt so much that my skin was torn apart.
Chen Ma just walked in and was terrified: "Oh my God, how could Madam be so harsh!"
Mother Chen came over to help Su Man, and when she saw the wound on her back, her eyes couldn't help but turn red.
In this family, Aunt Chen cares about Su Man more than Aunt Shen Qing.
Su Man was helped back to her room by Chen Ma. She could no longer hold on and fell flat on the bed as soon as she reached the edge.
She suddenly felt heavy and tired, and very sleepy.
But she still held on, and with the last bit of consciousness she had, she took out her cell phone and called Xiao Beisheng.
The phone rang five or six times before being picked up.
"Hello."
A deep male voice sounded in my ears.
Su Man forced herself to cheer up and tried to make her voice sound normal. "Mr. Xiao, it's me, Su Man. Did you get home safely?"
"Yeah, just arrived."
"Thank you for tonight... I owe you a favor. I'll treat you to a meal someday if you're free."
"Let's watch again." Xiao Beisheng paused and asked, "Are you sleepy?"
Although Su Man tried her best to cover it up, she still looked weak and her voice was muffled. People who didn't know the truth could easily think that she was drowsy.
"Hmm... maybe I drank too much tonight."
"Go to bed early."
Xiao Beisheng was as aloof and quiet as ever.
Su Man said goodbye, put down her phone and continued to lie on the pillow. At this time, Chen's mother came into the room with iodine and medicine.
Seeing that Su Man's face was not right, her skin was red, and her lips were dry and blue, she came over and touched her forehead: "Ah! Why is it so hot! I have to tell my wife, let's go to the hospital!"
"Don't—hiss!"
Su Man hurriedly called her, but unexpectedly pulled the wound on her back:
She was proud and self-respecting in her heart, but she was also delicate and weak. When she felt the pain, tears welled up in her eyes and she sobbed.
Mother Chen came back quickly, distressed and anxious: "Okay, I won't go. Mother Chen will apply some medicine for you. Take some anti-inflammatory medicine later and have a good sleep."
No one noticed that Su Man's phone was still on the call screen.
She was so delirious from the fever that she didn't even hang up the phone before it slid to the side of her pillow.
Xiao Beisheng on the other end of the phone waited for her to hang up out of politeness, but then he heard the sound of Chen Ma taking her temperature.
Are you sick?
No wonder you sounded so listless just now.
Xiao Beisheng was not a nosy person. It was just a fever and none of his business. But for some unknown reason, he did not hang up the phone, but continued to listen to the sound on the other end.
After listening to it later, I found out that Su Man was beaten after returning home.
They personally handed their niece to the old pervert, and when the niece failed to fulfill their wishes, they beat her up. This family is really interesting.
Special Assistant Gao Xun was sitting in the passenger seat, handing a document to Xiao Beisheng: "Boss Xiao, please take a look at this report..."
Xiao Beisheng raised his hand to stop him.
Gao Xun immediately stopped talking.
On the other end of the phone, the little woman continued to sob. The high fever left her with little strength, and she sounded like a weak kitten: "Mom Chen... I'm in so much pain..."
"What should I do...Mrs. Chen is here, and she's with the young lady... If you cry, I want to cry too. How can Madam bear to let go of such a beautiful young lady after raising her to this age?"
Not long after, the sobbing murmurs gradually stopped. She must have fallen asleep, but even in sleep, there were still soft sobbing sounds.
Only then did Xiao Beisheng hang up the phone.
Gao Xun handed the document over. Xiao Beisheng took it and flipped through it, his expression focused. He asked casually, "What do you think of the Jinglong Bay tourism development project?"
Gao Xun was stunned, wondering why the president asked this question for no reason.
On second thought, the Jinglong Bay sanatorium project was awarded to the Shen family, and the president has been very close to the niece of the Shen family recently. Could it be that the president wants to help her?
"Recent policies are geared towards developing new districts. I think we could ask our tourism investment company to evaluate this. But if you're trying to help Shen's company, it would be a bit of a waste of talent."
Xiao Beisheng raised his eyes, his obsidian eyes flashing with an obscure light: "Who said I want to help the Shen family? Is the Shen family worthy?"
Gao Xun immediately apologized: "Sorry, I was prejudiced."
He was very scared.
Come to think of it, he has been working under Xiao Beisheng for eight years, and he has never seen Xiao Beisheng use backdoors for any of his rumored girlfriends, nor will he blindly make concessions just for a little bit of sex.
The president always puts his career first and is known to be ruthless, cold-hearted and indifferent.
The only exception is the one from the Luo family.
It is said that the Luo family member is about to return home...
