Chapter 573: Do you still want to continue to protect me?
In the evening, Suman and Doudou had a video call, and the maid knocked on her door.
"Good evening, Miss Suman."
Su Man looked at the maid outside the door and the food cart in her hand, puzzled: "I shouldn't have ordered any service, right?"
"These are the desserts Mr. Xiao asked the kitchen to make and he ordered them to be delivered to you."
"Xiao Beisheng?"
"Yes."
Su Man looked at the cart of rich desserts and felt a sweet feeling in her heart. "Excuse me, please bring the things in."
The maid nodded and pushed the dining cart into the room.
Su Man didn't notice that the maid's hand holding the cart handle was shaking slightly.
The table was filled with desserts, and the maid was about to leave with the food cart. Su Man stopped the maid:
"I want to know, are these desserts for everyone, or just for me?"
The maid smiled and said, "This is just for you, young lady."
"Especially for me?"
"Yes."
The maid urged, "Miss, please take a bite. The master has instructed that we watch you eat it and comment on whether you are satisfied. Please give us your feedback so that we can give him your feedback. If you are not satisfied, we can make it again for you."
"Oh, I see." Su Man had an ambiguous smile in her eyes. "He is really thoughtful. I want to thank him."
Su Man pretended to take out her cell phone, but the maid panicked and quickly reached out to stop her.
"Miss, don't contact Mr. Xiao!"
"Why?"
"Uh...it's like this. Mr. said that he sent you the dessert without telling Miss Luo Yan. He is with Miss Luo Yan now, so I guess he doesn't want you to contact him directly."
"Ah, you're right," Su Man said, as if she had suddenly realized something. "Thank you for reminding me. It would be bad if Luo Yan knew about this."
"Yes, yes."
"I see. Then thank him for me."
"You're welcome. As for this dessert..."
"I don't have much of an appetite right now, I'll eat later. As for feedback, just say I'm satisfied."
The maid hesitated, glanced at the dessert on the table, and stood there unwilling to leave.
Su Man's eyes threatened: "What's wrong? Is there anything else?"
"No. Have a good rest."
Su Man nodded and stared at the other person.
The maid pushed the dining cart out. Su Man looked at the maid's back as she left the corridor, pondering the doubts in her heart.
Xiao Beisheng and she had indeed reconciled their past grudges, but directly instructing the kitchen to send her dessert was a bit too blatant.
Even when sending flowers, he would secretly run to her room to deliver them.
The maid thought that as long as she emphasized that Xiao Beisheng sent the gift only to Su Man, Su Man would be overjoyed.
Little did they know that it would have the opposite effect.
This made Su Man suspicious.
Later, Su Man's conversations with the maid were all tests.
Su Man took a photo of a large table of desserts for Xiao Beisheng and wrote: "Someone asked the maid to send me a large table of desserts and specifically mentioned that it was you who sent it."
As soon as the message was sent, Xiao Beisheng called immediately. He was nervous and serious:
"Don't touch it."
"I know."
"I didn't ask anyone to bring you any food. I'm afraid there's something wrong with the food."
"I know that, too."
"You know? How did you guess that?"
“Will you get me something with matcha flavor?”
"No. I remember you hated matcha flavor."
"Yes, that's the biggest flaw of these desserts," Suman said. "You know I hate matcha flavor the most. Every time I see matcha-flavored food on the table, you will take the initiative to help me remove it. But among this table full of desserts, there are three matcha-flavored desserts alone."
On the other end of the phone, Xiao Beisheng chuckled knowingly, "So you can actually notice that. I thought there was some heartless little thing who never paid attention to these details."
Su Man snorted and said, "So, it's thanks to your good memory that you saved my life."
"I've always had a good memory, but I don't use it on unimportant people. It wasn't my good memory that saved you, it was my love that saved you."
Su Man's face felt slightly hot.
He was clearly making a passionate confession, so how could Xiao Beisheng speak in such a flat, cold and harsh tone, without a trace of emotion?
Like a straight man without emotions.
Su Man said: "The person who is most likely to send these things to me is probably the one who least wants me to go with him to 'inspect the goods' tomorrow."
Xiao Beisheng hesitated for a moment, "You mean, you doubt Luo Yan?"
"I'm not doubting it, I'm 100 percent sure. But I know you don't want to cause any more trouble right now, so I'll handle this matter myself."
Without waiting for Xiao Beisheng's response, Su Man hung up the phone.
Now that he had the answer, Su Man could take advantage of this opportunity to muddy the waters.
Bai Lan was dating Luo Yan because he wanted to get evidence of certain officials' crimes from the Luo family. He could also use the Luo family to get on the boats of more high-ranking officials and find evidence of their crimes.
If you want to stop Bai Lan from taking revenge, then take this opportunity and let Bai Lan make a choice.
Completely cut off Bai Lan's relationship with the Luo family, so that Bai Lan will have no way to continue his revenge.
Twenty minutes later.
Suman's room was crowded with people.
Bai Lan, Shiyi, Assistant Park, and several medical workers.
"Madam, after testing, these desserts contain excessive amounts of banned substances. After taking them, they are enough to kill an adult." The medical worker took off the medical gloves on his hands.
Bai Lan's cold and elegant face became even more gloomy at this moment.
Eleven fists were clenched so tightly that they made a crackling sound.
Bai Lan said, "Bring up the maid who delivered the dessert."
Soon, several bodyguards came over, carrying the maid.
Before the maid could kneel down, Eleven went up and kicked her in the chest. A mouthful of blood suddenly spurted out of her mouth.
Bai Lan walked up to the maid and half squatted down.
Every movement was elegant yet eerie. "You dare to cause trouble on my territory? Do you know what the consequences will be?"
"Mrs. Bai, I'm sorry, Miss Su Man, I'm sorry... I know I was wrong... It was Miss Luo Yan who forced me to do this. She said she would kill me if I didn't..."
"Really? Then have you ever thought that if you do this, you will die?"
Bai Lan stood up and waved his hand.
The bodyguard came up immediately and dragged the maid away.
The maid cried loudly and begged for mercy.
The screams disturbed the quiet night sky of Bai Mansion.
Su Man frowned and said to Bai Lan, "She has committed a crime, so let her go to where she should go to atone for her crime. I don't want you to have any lives on your hands."
After saying that, he went straight to the point, "Besides, she was only coerced. The person you should deal with most is not this puppet, but the person who really wants to harm me."
Bai Lan turned to Su Man.
Su Man met her gaze and asked, "Are you going to continue to protect her?"
