Chapter 6: A self-torture tactic?
Su Man stayed at home for a few days while she was recovering from her injuries.
But she was not idle either. She kept sending messages to Xiao Beisheng to make her presence felt.
But Xiao Beisheng seldom replied to her. Most of the time, he would just reply "Yeah", "Let me see", "I understand". More often than not, he would just read the message but not reply.
Su Man felt that he was so frugal with words that it was outrageous.
A week later, Shen Qing finally gave Su Man a little good face.
"How's your back injury healing?"
Su Man replied: "Very good."
"That's good." Chen Qing turned around and instructed Chen Ma in the kitchen, "The master wants to eat raw fish porridge tomorrow. Manman is injured and can't eat these irritating foods. Make something else for Manman."
Aunt Chen agreed.
Su Man understood her aunt. Her aunt was used to being tough and could never bring herself to apologize. The fact that she showed concern in this way was just trying to find a way out.
Su Man was not moved for long.
Shen Qing said mysteriously, "Jinglong Bay was acquired by Dingsheng. Did you know?"
Su Man was stunned.
Shen Qing said: "Aren't you friends with Mr. Xiao? Go and find out what development plans Dingsheng has next, and try to help your aunt get some more projects."
Su Man's heart, which had not yet warmed up, suddenly turned cold.
Being nice to her, it turned out that he wanted her to go to Xiao Beisheng in exchange for some benefits.
"I'm not that familiar with him." Su Man stared at the ointment that Shen Qing had just stuffed into her hand, and suddenly felt that the bottle of ointment was very uncomfortable.
Chen Qing's face turned cold: "If you are not familiar with me, can I personally send you home? A single man and a single woman, staying out all night, you say you are not familiar with me! Raising you, is this how you repay me? I didn't teach you to eat and drink for free and be an ungrateful wolf."
Su Man's nails almost poked a bloody hole in the palm of her hand.
After a while, he said, "I'll try my best."
"In two days, there will be a ribbon-cutting ceremony for the scenic area's handover. Xiao Beisheng, as a major shareholder, will also attend. You should come with me."
Shen Qing threw the two invitations on the table and went upstairs.
Two days later, Su Man attended the ribbon-cutting ceremony with Shen Qing.
The ceremony was held in the scenic area.
A temporary platform was built on the wide lawn. Dingsheng was wealthy and the venue was decorated grandly.
In addition to various partners and investors, many well-known media were also invited. Reporters carried cameras and the spotlights on the scene flashed non-stop.
Xiao Beisheng went on stage to speak, Su Man looked at him from below and felt that he was truly a child of destiny.
His elegant temperament and superior appearance are enough to make countless women crazy, but his eyes clearly show that he is an ambitious man who is calm and composed and has a grasp of the overall situation. No one can easily pull him down from the altar.
Xiao Beisheng finished his speech and glanced in Su Man's direction intentionally or unintentionally as he walked down the stage.
Su Man thought it must be her own illusion.
After the ribbon-cutting ceremony, there was a small cocktail party for everyone to communicate.
Su Man took two glasses of champagne and went to find Xiao Beisheng.
Su Man walked up and handed him one of the glasses of champagne in her hand: "Mr. Xiao, would you mind having a drink?"
Xiao Beisheng looked at her coldly and took the champagne.
"Your aunt brought you here today. Is she attracted to a new boss?"
Su Man was stunned. He was very direct in exposing people's scars.
She half-jokingly said, "I like you, so I asked me to come over and seduce you."
Xiao Beisheng sneered, "Then you'd better give up as soon as possible. You are not worth that much to me."
Su Man felt that Xiao Beisheng was a little aggressive today, and she didn't know how she had offended him again.
"If I hadn't come to this ribbon-cutting ceremony today, I wouldn't have known that Miss Su and I had such an ambiguous relationship."
"What?"
"Why play dumb, Miss Su? Your aunt has been telling everyone that you and I are close friends. She's spreading the word and making friends with shareholders everywhere. Don't you know that?"
Xiao Beisheng raised the corners of his eyes and looked at her with a half-smile.
The voice was light, but Su Man felt that it was filled with contempt and disgust.
Su Man took a deep breath and said, "I really don't know."
Xiao Beisheng obviously didn't believe it.
"You called me on purpose so I could hear you being punished by your aunt. What? A self-torture tactic? Or did your aunt never hit you at all, and you and your aunt teamed up to put on a show?"
Su Man was a little confused by the sudden scolding.
Then, she suddenly remembered something.
After calling Xiao Beisheng that night, she checked the call time the next day and found that it had lasted for seven or eight minutes. However, she remembered that she hung up after saying only a few words and thought she was confused due to the fever.
I didn't expect there would be such a misunderstanding.
Xiao Beisheng said, "Put aside these low-level tricks. Instead of playing tricks, just ask me directly. The chances of success are much higher."
Even if Su Man had no shame, she couldn't bear it any longer.
"Whether you believe it or not, I really don't know what my aunt said or did. I will tell my aunt not to use your name anymore. I'm not very familiar with Mr. Xiao, but I believe anyone with eyes can see it."
After she finished speaking, she turned and was about to leave.
Unexpectedly, she bumped into a passing servant, twisted her ankle, and fell on Xiao Beisheng.
Today she was wearing a strapless mini dress with snow-white fluff rolling around the skirt. Her beautiful figure was pure and sexy. With this collision, her upper body was almost pressed against him.
If he lowered his head slightly, he could see a beautiful scene.
Xiao Beisheng looked away.
He was a little resistant to her approach, but he didn't think anything strange about it at the moment.
But there was an inexplicable evil fire in my heart that I couldn't suppress.
He was not the kind of person who could not control himself once he came into contact with a woman. Although he had had a relationship with Su Man, he admitted that he was attracted to her body, but not to the point of being easily aroused.
He noticed something strange in his body, and the reason he reacted was not because his thoughts were too dirty, but because something was wrong with his body.
He pinched Su Man's arm and said through gritted teeth: "What did you make me drink?"
Without waiting for Su Man to react, he dragged her into the lounge.
The door was shut hard, isolating the voices outside.
Su Man looked at his eyes which were beginning to turn red, and became a little panicked. The wine was taken from the servant, so could there be something unclean in it?
"You, calm down... I'll find a doctor for you..."
As soon as she finished speaking, she felt a sudden chill.
The skirt was torn open, exposing a large area of white to the cold air.
Su Man was extremely shocked and wanted to resist, but her hands were restrained by Xiao Beisheng. The strength disparity between the man and the woman was so great that she even injured her back.
"Hiss—it hurts!" Tears welled up in Su Man's eyes.
Xiao Beisheng thought she was pretending, "Why are you crying out in pain before it even starts? Isn't this what you want?"
As soon as he finished speaking, Xiao Beisheng noticed the whip marks on her back.
It has already scabbed over, but it is still eye-catching on the white skin as fine as porcelain.
She probably also put on some powder to cover up her blemishes in order to attend the event.
Xiao Beisheng was in a complicated mood for a moment, and unconsciously, his movements became lighter.
Finally ended this absurdity.
Su Man went to the corner, turned her back to Xiao Beisheng, and silently put her skirt back on, but she couldn't zip it up.
While she was struggling with the zipper, Xiao Beisheng came over and zipped it up for her.
The hand with scorching body temperature touched Suman, and Suman dodged as if she had been electrocuted: "The wine was given to me by the waiter, and I didn't know there was something wrong with it."
Xiao Beisheng's rare good tone: "I understand."
