Chapter 52 Ignition
Luo Yan also followed Xiao Beisheng.
The woman felt emboldened when she saw Luo Yan. "Su Man spread rumors everywhere, saying that she was Mr. Xiao's female companion at the banquet. But Mr. Xiao's female companion was clearly someone else! I exposed her, but she still refused to admit it and insisted on saying that she was the one who stood you up, Mr. Xiao!"
People around looked over.
Su Man was just on the court, trying to please everyone and stealing a lot of limelight. People are easily jealous and don't like to see others too proud. Many people secretly wanted to see Su Man being poured cold water.
Su Man held the teacup and slowly took another sip of tea.
She looked calm on the surface, but she was actually very panicked.
Xiao Beisheng was fooled by her, and maybe he was angry. He is still with Luo Yan now, and he will definitely not speak for Su Man.
She thought quickly and had to come up with a plan immediately.
At this moment, Xiao Beisheng said, "She did stand me up."
The voice is mellow, deep and pleasant.
The woman in front of him couldn't believe her ears, "What?"
"Being stood up is not a glorious thing. Miss, you keep bringing it up. Are you trying to make fun of me?"
This rhetorical question made the woman dumbfounded.
The woman was shocked and frightened, and apologized profusely: "It's not like that... I just thought, thought..."
"Okay, stop gossiping about other people's business and take care of yourself first, what do you say?"
The woman's face lost all color. She came to provoke Xiao Beisheng, but was humiliated by him instead. She ran away with a pout.
Luo Yan, who was beside Xiao Beisheng, also looked unhappy.
For Su Man's sake, Xiao Beisheng actually admitted the humiliating fact that he was stood up.
The most important thing is that he admitted that Su Man was his female companion, which was equivalent to telling everyone that Luo Yan was not with him, but that Luo Yan came to him on her own.
Su Man looked at Xiao Beisheng, then at Luo Yan beside him. She consciously regarded herself as an outsider and said, "You guys continue. My aunt is still waiting for me."
When she passed by Xiao Beisheng, he grabbed her arm and said, "You stood me up. Don't you have anything to explain to me?"
Su Man shrugged. "I agreed to be your female companion, but I didn't agree to come with you."
She pointed at Luo Yan with her chin and said, "Besides, you don't lack female companions."
After saying that, he pulled his hand away and left quickly.
What is there to explain? She was just teasing Xiao Beisheng on purpose. She couldn't just say it directly!
Su Man returned to Shen Qing and continued to drink.
Fortunately, she took some hangover medicine and managed to get through the whole show, and finally helped Shen Qing win two big contracts.
After the banquet, Su Man called designated drivers for the bosses and sent them to the car one by one. Su Man finally breathed a sigh of relief, and Shen Qing smiled from ear to ear: "Man Man, you still have a way. Once those bosses see you, business talks are much easier. Did you accept the WeChat of the son that Uncle Song just recommended to you? Although his family is just a newly rich family, his sister is an internationally renowned designer with a lot of resources. Make friends and you will have many options."
"I understand, Auntie."
Su Man responded soullessly.
"Where have you been living lately? When do you plan to go home?" When there were only two of them left, Shen Qing brought the topic back to this.
She was always thinking about keeping Suman by her side and controlling her.
"I……"
Before Su Man finished speaking, Xiao Beisheng came up from behind her and asked, "Boss Shen, are you not going back yet?"
Su Man was interrupted. Seeing that Shen Qing was busy dealing with Xiao Beisheng and had no time to continue questioning, Su Man shut up.
"Hahaha, Mr. Xiao! I just sent my partners away and was about to go back with Su Man. Um... Su Man embarrassed you tonight, I want to apologize to you on her behalf..."
"Then let her go with me?"
Shen Qing was stunned: "What?"
Su Man next to him was also dumbfounded.
Xiao Beisheng said: "Since she couldn't accompany me at the banquet, can she lend me her time now?"
These words seemed to be spoken to Shen Qing, but Xiao Beisheng was looking at Su Man.
Su Man stood there drunkenly and did not respond to him.
Chen Qing understood Xiao Beisheng's intention and responded quickly, "Yes, of course! Then I'll ask you to take good care of her."
Shen Qing said this very skillfully, and Xiao Beisheng felt a little uncomfortable listening to it.
It was so easy to hand the drunk Su Man over to another man.
What if it wasn't him but some other man who came tonight?
Will Suman be taken away by another man like this?
Thinking of this, Xiao Beisheng's temper suddenly dropped, and his face became so cold that ice chips could fall out of it.
Chen Qing thought that it was Su Man who made Xiao Beisheng unhappy, and immediately pushed Su Man into Xiao Beisheng's arms, "Apologize to President Xiao properly, and don't be willful again and make President Xiao unhappy."
Su Man had just relaxed when the alcohol took over her brain nerves. She was just about to go home and have a good sleep, but who knew that Xiao Beisheng would happen.
She couldn't stand steadily at all, so Xiao Beisheng hugged her from behind and barely managed to steady her body.
He helped her into his car.
Chen Qing followed behind, waved goodbye, and helped close the car door. After the car drove away for a long distance, Xiao Beisheng could still see Chen Qing standing there watching them go in the rearview mirror.
Su Man got into the car and no longer had the obedient manner she had just shown in front of Shen Qing.
She looked around, "Hey, where's Luo Yan?"
"She didn't come with me tonight. She started her own clothing brand and is now the brand's manager. She came here tonight to expand her network at the Chamber of Commerce."
"You even spent money to create a brand for her! Don't love her too much!" Su Man opened her almond eyes wide.
“It’s not me…”
Su Man didn't listen to him at all, she just chuckled and laughed: "I didn't expect that you are still a love-brained person."
Xiao Beisheng frowned: "Su Man, how much wine have you drunk?"
Su Man began to count on her fingers, carefully counting how many cups she had drunk. As she was counting, the car suddenly braked. Su Man's seat belt was so uncomfortable that she secretly untied it, and now she almost fell onto the back of the seat in front of her.
Xiao Beisheng quickly hugged her.
The space in the back seat was not small, but the two of them were very close. Su Man had been drinking and began to let herself go: "Do you want to do it here now?"
Gao Xu, who was driving in front, had his heart pounding. What explosive words did he hear?
Is this something he can listen to?
After hearing these words, does he think he won’t live beyond tomorrow?
Xiao Beisheng looked at Su Man, whose cheeks were flushed in his arms, and his throat rolled, "What did you say?"
"Isn't this why you asked me to accompany you tonight? Let's get started and finish it quickly. I'm happy tonight and I can do anything." Su Man was a little desperate.
"You're overthinking it. I just want to send you back to the Qiao family in one piece."
What Xiao Beisheng said was really the truth.
He knew that Su Man didn't want to go home with Shen Qing, and offered to take her away just to help her out.
Su Man didn't leave his arms, but instead hugged his neck and sat on his lap, "Don't you want my body?"
She rubbed it on purpose as if it were a prank.
Xiao Beisheng held her waist with both hands and lifted her up a little, his eyes couldn't help but turn cloudy, "Su Man, you are lighting a fire."
