Chapter 561 The Calm Before the Storm
“Cough cough cough…”
"Assistant Park, are you okay?" Su Man quickly handed over a tissue. "Come, wipe it off."
Park Junfeng put down the teacup and waved his hand, indicating that there was no need to worry.
After a long while, his flushed face returned to normal. "Well, there are more or less rumors like this outside. But it's because the common people don't know the inside story and are easily fooled."
"Haha, yes, everyone loves gossip, especially if it's explosive. So, is it true?"
Park Junfeng wiped the tea stains on his lips with a tissue.
He pushed his glasses up solemnly again, "Miss Su, you asked me to come here, but you didn't really want to ask about Luo Yan, right? Asking this is your real purpose, right?"
Su Man met his elegant expression and wise eyes and denied it outright: "What are you talking about!"
What are you talking about!
How could he guess so correctly and expose her so bluntly!
Su Man argued: "I was just gossiping. Madam Bai cares about me a lot, so it's reasonable for me to care about her emotional life."
"This involves the boss's privacy. If you want to know, you should ask Mrs. Bai in person."
He is truly a loyal, upright and exemplary employee.
Su Man nodded and shut up.
The two of them looked at the moon in the sky and were silent for a while.
Not long after, Su Man continued to ask, "Who is this Black Hawk? Everyone says that Mrs. Bai of the Lai Mansion is mysterious, but it is said that this Black Hawk is also mysterious and never shows his face in front of outsiders. But I heard that this Black Hawk, more than 20 years ago, loved to show off everywhere, collecting protection fees everywhere, and was a big bully in the Golden Triangle. Why did he never show up in public again?"
Su Man chattered non-stop. Pu Junfeng took out a handkerchief from his collar and wiped the cold sweat that had appeared on his forehead.
"Since you can think of this, you know that this Black Hawk is no simple person. At least, he is more than just a bully."
"Actually... the relationship between Madam Bai and Black Hawk is more complicated and involves more than what everyone sees on the surface. Miss Su, for your own good, don't ask too much. Just like now, you don't need to worry about anything, live carefree, under the protection given to you by our Madam, isn't it good?"
"Assistant Park, you're so serious," Su Man laughed and said obediently, "Since you've said that, I'm not curious anymore. Curiosity kills the cat, I know."
Only then did Park Junfeng nod in satisfaction.
He sat with Su Man for a while before getting up and leaving.
In the yard, Su Man was left alone again, the innocent smile on her face gradually faded.
In fact, she could feel that Park Junfeng was exercising the guardianship responsibility over Bai Lan on her behalf. Since they wanted her to be an innocent child with no thoughts, she followed their wishes and imagination and played such a role.
Only by lowering their defenses could Su Man find out what she wanted to know.
"Has this tea been drunk by someone else? I don't want to drink other people's leftover tea. Pour me a new cup."
Suddenly, Xiao Beisheng's voice sounded behind him.
Su Man turned around suddenly and saw him looking at the cup of tea that Park Junfeng had just drunk with a look of disgust.
After a long pause, Su Man said, "I didn't invite you here."
Xiao Beisheng seemed not to hear it. He took a long step and sat down on the rattan chair where Pu Junfeng had just sat.
Su Man: “…”
Xiao Beisheng's gaze fell on her face, and he asked leisurely and jokingly, "Do you feel guilty when you see me?"
really.
He never comes to the temple unless he has something to do.
This time I came here for Luo Yan.
"If you want to help Luo Yan vent her anger, then turn left and leave without seeing me off. Otherwise, I will ask Assistant Park to get you out right away."
"Assistant Park is very busy, so stop bothering him," Xiao Beisheng said, laughing. He asked, "Why are you so excited? Do you also think you're doing something wrong?"
"Why should I feel like I did something wrong? She let her minions rape me, and she didn't think it was wrong, right? Oh, right, you probably didn't even ask her if she felt what she did was right, right? Are you guys really that hypocritical?"
Su Man suddenly responded, and Xiao Beisheng did not argue with her.
"You talk a lot, and you are right."
He uncovered a new teacup on the table, and reached out to pick up the teapot to pour tea. Before his hand touched the handle of the teapot, he was hit hard by Su Man with a "bang".
"This is the tea I made. You are not welcome to drink it."
Xiao Beisheng looked at her slightly angry face, and the smile in his eyes deepened, "Tsk, you have quite a temper."
Xiao Beisheng didn't say anything else, nor did he try to argue with her. He just sat quietly opposite her.
Su Man, on the other hand, felt more and more aggrieved the more she thought about it.
When she was pulled out of the sea, she was unconscious. If she hadn't been rescued in time, Suman would have likely drowned. Later, the doctor told her that she had fainted before falling into the sea.
Bai Lan thought that she fainted because she was abused and had a physical and mental breakdown.
But Su Man didn't tell Bai Lan that it was because she was afraid of heights.
She was already feeling dizzy while on the boat's railing.
The moment she jumped down, her memory flashed back to her, and she returned to the scene of jumping into the river on her eighteenth birthday.
The feeling was so similar that she almost experienced that near-death feeling again.
And this time, it was thanks to Luo Yan.
Luo Yan did something so outrageous, yet nothing happened to her. But Su Man was just trying to vent her anger, so why did she treat it like she had broken some heavenly law?
Su Man had already prepared her speech, waiting for Xiao Beisheng to start the fight.
But no matter how long he waited, Xiao Beisheng didn't say anything.
Su Man was impatient. "If you have something to say, just tell me now."
"I just want to come and have some tea with you." Xiao Beisheng said.
Su Man choked.
He actually wasn't here to settle the score with her on behalf of Luo Yan.
"So now, can you give me a cup of tea?"
Su Man said nothing, nor did she refuse. She just guarded her teacup tightly, worried that Xiao Beisheng would poison her when she wasn't paying attention.
Xiao Beisheng poured himself a cup of tea, looked at the moon, and suddenly sighed: "I don't know how long these peaceful days will last."
Su Man felt puzzled, but she also had a vague feeling that they were about to take action.
She calmed herself down, sat quietly drinking tea, trying not to think about anything and just savoring the quiet moment.
I'm afraid this is the last calm before the storm.
The next day, Su Man heard that there was a big commotion on Luo Yan's side. In order to get some peace and quiet, Su Man did not stay in Bai Lan's mansion, but went out to hang out.
Although it was called strolling, it was actually a way for Suman to collect local intelligence.
In order to appear less suspicious, she plans to contact Xiaomei and go "traveling" with her.
However, before contacting Xiaomei, an unexpected person came to Suman first.
