Chapter 55: Hunger Strike
Su Man had no choice but to walk to the car.
Xiao Beisheng got out of the car, looked at Song Lin behind her, and then looked at the various snacks she was holding in her hands, "What are you doing?"
Su Man felt that he was asking even though he knew the answer. "I'm treating the students to snacks."
Xiao Beisheng looked strange: "You treat, and he pays?"
"I borrowed his."
"Are you so short of money?"
Xiao Beisheng was a little surprised, and his handsome eyebrows were almost twisted into a rope.
Su Man rolled her eyes, not wanting to continue arguing with him about this issue, and asked, "Why are you here?"
Xiao Beisheng said, "Want to get in the car? I'm doing some business nearby, so I'll give you a ride."
Su Man originally wanted to refuse, but when she thought about it, she had to go back to the Shen family tonight to discuss an important matter with her aunt. If Shen Qing saw that it was Xiao Beisheng who sent her back, maybe she would be able to talk to him better.
"Okay. Well, thank you for your help."
Song Lin cried out in grievance: "No way, Mr. Su, you promised me that you would treat me to a meal all over the street."
"I'll definitely do it next time. Unfortunately, I can't pay this time. Next time, I'll definitely treat you to a meal until you have to hold on to the wall before you leave!" Su Man clasped her hands together, feeling very sorry.
Song Lin looked pitiful as he watched Su Man get into Xiao Beisheng's luxury car. Standing beside the car, he looked like a poor puppy caught in the rain.
Xiao Beisheng felt annoyed when he saw Song Lin like this.
He pressed the window-up button.
The car window slowly closed, completely locking Song Lin outside.
Su Man asked Xiao Beisheng to take her back to the Shen family. Xiao Beisheng asked curiously, "Why go back to your aunt's house? Is there something going on?"
"Well, I'm going abroad in a couple of days. My ID card and passport are in my aunt's hands. I'll go back to her and get them." She was going to participate in the dance finals.
This competition is of vital importance to her.
Xiao Beisheng seemed to be thinking, "Your aunt has manipulated you to this extent."
"Asking you to pick me up is indeed a bad intention. My aunt is not easy to talk to. If she saw that it was you who picked me up, maybe she would be more flexible." Su Man was very frank.
Xiao Beisheng smiled.
"What are you laughing at?"
"I know. I guessed it from the first time you asked me to take you home. If a person doesn't take care of himself, he will be punished by heaven and earth. There's nothing wrong with girls using some small tricks to protect their own interests."
Su Man stopped talking.
The car was unusually silent for the rest of the journey.
When they arrived at Shen's house, Su Man got out of the car and waved goodbye to Xiao Beisheng.
Xiao Beisheng was a little worried: "Do you need me to go in with you? Wouldn't it be easier if I were your token?"
Su Man smiled bitterly: "No need, I guess Auntie has noticed it since your car appeared just now."
"Okay, if you have any problems, feel free to call me." Xiao Beisheng was very generous and righteous.
Suman nodded.
After watching Xiao Beisheng's car leave, Su Man turned around and walked into the house. Suddenly, the cell phone in her hand dinged.
She received a transfer.
Su Man picked up her phone and was surprised to find that Xiao Beisheng had transferred some money to her.
This amount of money starts with the number "8" and has several zeros at the end, which is dazzling.
Xiao Beisheng wrote in the transfer note: "This is my second token of sincerity. Although it's a bit vulgar, it seems to be more in line with your current needs. No need to return it. Consider it as my shareholding in your dance studio."
Su Man muttered, "This guy is really weird. He keeps mentioning a dance studio. When did I ever say I wanted to open one?"
She stared at her phone. As soon as she stepped into the yard, the door of the house opened and Shen Qing came out with a smile:
"Xiao Man, you finally decided to go home!"
Su Man put away her phone and became involuntarily reserved: "Auntie."
The aunt and nephew entered the house together, and Su Man told Shen Qing about going abroad.
Unexpectedly, Shen Qing refused outright.
Su Man asked anxiously, "Why? Auntie, you always agreed to my overseas trip before."
Shen Qing smiled wryly: "You were traveling before, what are you going to do this time?"
"Of course... I'm also going on a trip. I made an appointment with my friends."
"Friend? Which friend? A friend called the Galaxy Award International Dance Competition?"
Su Man was startled.
How did aunt know?
Shi Guang was furious, and Su Man thought of the abnormality in her account.
Could it be that her aunt knew that she was going to the competition and froze all the bank accounts under her name in advance?
Su Man stood up and wanted to leave cautiously.
Chen Qing called out to the side: "Come here, ask the young lady to return to her room. During this time, you will guard in front of the young lady's room. She will not be allowed to step out of this house before the competition is over."
Several burly men immediately appeared nearby and grabbed Su Man from both sides.
Shen Qing came up to search her body and took out her cell phone. "The phone has been confiscated. During this period of time, you are temporarily not allowed to contact the outside world."
Then she raised her chin towards the bodyguards, indicating that they could take Suman away.
Suman was thrown into her room.
The door closed, and the sound of the lock being locked from the outside crushed Su Man's nerves.
"Aunt! Why are you doing this to me?!"
"Do you think that just because I don't know why you want to participate in that competition, you want to leave this house and leave me?"
"I can't stay with my aunt all my life. I have to have my own life."
This was the first time Su Man had fought against Shen Qing since she was a child.
Shen Qing's anger, through a door, came layer by layer: "You are really too strong. Don't forget who raised you. If it weren't for me, you would have starved to death or frozen to death by your father!"
It's always this sentence.
And every time, Su Man would be speechless.
She couldn't refute it because what Shen Qing said was true and Su Man owed the Shen family for raising her.
She softened her tone: "Auntie, I still have to go to school, you can't lock me up like this..."
"I've already asked for leave from school for you. You don't have to go to class for the next half month."
Su Man's hands clenched into fists, trembling slightly.
She was angry, furious, and powerless.
Her body slowly slid down from behind the door, and she sat on the cold floor, hugging her knees helplessly.
Suman didn't rest the whole night.
The next day, the three meals that were delivered were taken back intact.
On the third day, just like the day before, Suman didn't cry or make a fuss, and didn't eat anything.
Suman went on a hunger strike for three days in silent protest.
On the third night, not long after the cold food was sent away untouched, Chen Ma was allowed in to see Su Man.
Aunt Chen also brought some steaming and fragrant food.
As soon as Su Man saw Chen Ma, her eyes turned red and she couldn't stop feeling aggrieved. From childhood to adulthood, Chen Ma was the only one in this family who really cared about Su Man.
But Su Man knew that Chen Ma was also a lobbyist sent by her aunt.
So at this moment, she ignored Chen Ma and turned to the wall with her back to Chen Ma.
Mother Chen wiped her tears and said, "Miss, please eat something. How can you not eat?"
Su Man was too hungry to speak, so she simply didn't answer.
Suddenly, something cold and hard touched her waist.
Su Man thought it was Aunt Chen calling her to eat, so she moved aside.
The thing chased after me again.
Su Man looked down and saw that it was an old-fashioned mobile phone.
Mother Chen handed the phone over and winked at her frantically.
Su Man took the phone with surprise. It was fully charged, had a strong signal, and could make calls.
It can only make calls.
Mother Chen asked her to secretly seek help from the outside world.
