Chapter 208 Four Wishes

A small light was on in the bedroom, casting a dim light on the floor. The decoration and layout of the room were not clear.

Su Mi saw Xiao Xuanjin sitting on the carpet in front of the floor-to-ceiling window, with a bottle of red wine on the small table in front of him. He was holding a wine glass in his hand, leaning against the wall, with his long legs casually bent, looking out the window. He actually had a sense of loneliness and decadence.

Su Mi closed the door, walked over to him step by step, sat down next to him, and said in a sly voice, "Okay, you didn't even ask me to drink."

Xiao Xuanjin turned around, his eyes hazy with drunkenness, and said in a deep voice, "I'm back."

"Well, why do I suddenly want to drink?"

Xiao Xuanjin lowered his eyebrows and shook the glass, causing the red wine to rise slightly, but he did not answer.

Su Mi took an empty cup and poured some for himself, "It's okay, if you want to drink, I'll drink with you."

The red wine had a strong taste. Su Mi took a sip and frowned, "This wine...was given to you by my dad?"

"Well, Dad said he kept it for a long time."

"Sure enough, he still can't change this habit."

If you are close to someone, you will take the initiative to share your wine cellar and taste wine together.

Su Mi felt that the alcohol content of the wine was high and she would get drunk easily, so she put down the glass.

He glanced at Xiao Xuanjin next to him and raised his head to drink up all the wine at the bottom of the glass. The wine rolled in his throat, and his expression remained the same after finishing it, without any change, as if he could not feel the burning effect of the wine.

Su Mi took the empty cup from his hand, put it on the table, and asked, "Did Daddy say anything to you?"

"No." One side of his face was hidden in the darkness, making it difficult to see clearly.

"and you……"

Xiao Xuanjin placed one hand on his bent knee, his eyelashes slightly closed, and his voice was like gravel, "Susu."

"Hmm?" Su Mi put her arm on his shoulder and looked at him closely, her beautiful eyes reflecting his appearance. "What's wrong?"

He finally met her gaze, his dark eyes filled with her gorgeous face. His voice was extremely deep, as if it had been brewing for a long time, a low sigh choked in his throat, "I'm sorry."

Su Mi was puzzled, "Why are you apologizing to me for no reason?"

Besides, he didn't do anything to offend her.

"I'm the bastard who used our past to force you to marry me, and I did so many... terrible things to you."

She had always remembered him all these years, but after they met again, she wondered what he had done to her. He had even made her condition worse.

Every time I think of him, my heart feels like it's being torn apart.

Su Mi didn't expect him to bring up this matter. Looking at his face, which was illuminated by the warm light, with distinct light and dark, and superior contours, her eyes became more focused. "Hubby, that's all in the past. I don't mean to blame you."

If she were deceived by someone like that, she would probably be even more cruel than him.

Xiao Xuanjin was much kinder than she had imagined.

"Don't you blame me?"

"You don't blame me, so how can I blame you?" She did such a thing back then, and he was willing to forgive her. What else could she care about?

Su Mi sighed, raised her hand to touch his face, and half-jokingly said, "If you blame yourself for this, then I will have to die to atone for it."

She knew full well how mentally draining it was to carry the guilt and self-blame she had been carrying for the past few years. She was trapped in a nightmare because she refused to forgive herself and felt too guilty and remorseful towards him.

She didn't want him to bear the same burden.

Xiao Xuanjin held her wrist, his eyes fixed on her, "Don't talk about those things that are neither dead nor alive."

"Hubby, I want to tell you that if you blame yourself, I will blame you too, because I will accompany you and I won't allow you to torture yourself, so you can't and are not allowed to say that again."

After a long moment, he squeezed her hand and whispered, "Okay."

Su Mi breathed a sigh of relief, and then heard him say, "Su Su, I still need four wishes from you."

desire?

Su Mi reacted for a moment and understood what was going on.

"You...saw it?"

"Um."

No wonder he seemed so abnormal today, it turned out that he saw those three flowers.

"I'm sorry, I lied to you back then, and it was also because..." I had to do that in order to make him give up.

"It doesn't matter. It's in the past. Tell me what you want and I'll give it to you."

Seeing that he seemed determined to help her achieve her wish, Su Mi wanted to fulfill his wish, "Then let me think about it."

"Okay, tell me when you figure it out."

Su Mi leaned on his shoulder and said, "Hubby, what happened on the snowy mountain back then..." Speaking of wishes, she remembered the time on the snowy mountain again.

He fulfilled his promise at that time, but it still hurt him in the end.

Xiao Xuanjin understood her hesitation and said, "It's okay. Just like you said, it's over."

Su Mi thought about it and decided not to mention it, so as not to recall the sad things.

Now he should know that she had no choice back then, so there is no need to bring up the past.

As for the scar on her back, he would only feel more guilty if he knew about it.

"Okay, I'll listen to you."

"I...thought of it. I actually have a wish."

It was fulfilling between them, and she hoped it would be the same for others.

"Have you thought about it?"

"Well, I want you to do something with me."

"What's up?"

…

Two days later, it suddenly started raining in Jiangcheng. Dense mist poured down from the sky, and the sky turned bleak and gray.

Su Mi observed everything that happened in Gu's company every day and found that in the past few days, Gu's company was facing the risk of being overthrown by the market.

The reasons are their internal conflicts, problems in high-level decision-making, chaotic management, and inefficient complex organizational structure. In addition, the excessive debt they had previously incurred in order to expand their scale, financing difficulties, and poor collection of accounts receivable led to a broken capital chain.

Moreover, the company has failed to effectively control production costs and management expenses in a timely manner, profit margins have been compressed, and long-term high-cost operations have put the company at a disadvantage in the market.

Now the Gu family is in a precarious situation.

Su Mi went out in the rain, brought a few people with him, and arrived at a place.

She asked Tian Xin to check and found out that Gu Mucheng would come here today, and Xiao Xuanjin also received news that someone would take action here today.

Gu Mucheng's time is running out. She has a vague guess in her heart. Now she can only help him based on her own judgment and hope that her judgment is correct.

Su Mi stood in a pavilion in the suburbs, holding a black umbrella in his hand and looking in one direction.

Soon there was movement over there.

A black business car was driving towards this side. Su Mi looked at the license plate number and found that it was indeed the Gu family's car. Gu Mucheng should be inside.

As she was watching, she saw several commercial vehicles coming from all directions, driving in a large number, and they were about to surround the Gu family's car in the middle.

It seems that those people are really ready to take action.
