Chapter 131 Still Like Me
Besides my parents, I also saw a middle-aged couple.
The woman is elegant and easy-going, with a gentle temperament, while the man has a stronger aura and carries the pressure of being in a high position for many years.
But when they saw her, they were both very easy-going.
"This must be Miss Su, so beautiful." The woman was the one who spoke, praising generously.
The man also said in his deep voice, "My dear relatives, you are so lucky. I also want to have a daughter like you."
Su Boren and Wei Rushuang laughed so hard that they couldn't stop. "Father-in-law is joking."
Su Boren stood up and introduced, "Qingqing, this is your Uncle Xiao and Aunt Xiao."
Su Mi was stunned for a moment. What? Did she hear it wrong? Why was the last name Xiao? Or was it Xiao?
After all, there are so many homophones.
She managed to remain calm and responded with a smile, "Uncle, aunt, hello."
"Hello, my dear. Please take a seat."
The woman even called her by her nickname affectionately.
There is no round table in the box today, but a long table.
Very homey atmosphere.
The parents of both sides sat opposite each other, and there was a seat next to them, which was obviously reserved for the younger generation.
Su Mi sat down next to her mother and looked at the empty seat opposite her. She began to feel uneasy.
Are there any families with the surname Xiao or Xiao in Jiangcheng or its surrounding areas?
She kept brainwashing herself, but her mind kept thinking about what had happened during this period, the unusual behavior of everyone at the cocktail party, and their inquiring looks.
After connecting all these things together, an answer was about to emerge, and she became even more uneasy.
Wei Rushuang noticed something was wrong with her daughter and asked her, "What's wrong?"
"fine."
Then Su Mi heard Mrs. Xiao across from him say, "Why hasn't Xiao Jin come yet? I'll call her to urge her."
Su Boren tried to smooth things over, "It's okay, Xiaojin is usually quite busy, it's understandable."
Jin...or Jing...is it him?
Xiao...Jin...
Su Mi could no longer remain calm and took the initiative to ask, "Aunt Xiao, you have come all the way here, and you must have worked hard on the journey."
Xu Ke smiled gently, "It's okay. Although Hwaseong is a bit far, it doesn't take long to get here by plane."
Su Mi felt as if he had been struck by lightning, and his head was buzzing.
What else could she doubt about the Xiao family in Huacheng?
Everything around him began to become blurred, and Su Mi thought he must be having a nightmare.
It must be.
Such a terrifying scene only exists in dreams.
How could the marriage partner be Xiao Xuanjin? How could the Xiao family be a good marriage in the eyes of my parents?
She knew Xiao Xuanjin very well.
How could this marriage happen if he didn't nod?
There is only one possibility for him to marry her, he did it on purpose.
In order to take revenge on her, he was even willing to sacrifice his own marriage.
He must be crazy.
Su Mi felt that her breathing was not smooth, so she stood up and said, "Uncle and aunt, you guys can chat slowly. I'm going to the bathroom."
"good."
She pushed the door open and went out.
As she walked along the corridor, the sudden news hit her brain without any warning, leaving her at a loss as to how to react.
As she walked, she heard footsteps behind her.
There was a hurried voice, and soon the man was standing in front of her.
When Su Mi raised her eyes, she saw this face, the one she least wanted to see.
Is he coming to attend the banquet?
Thinking that all this was planned by him, she felt that he was really going too far.
"Why did you lie to me?"
When they met at the cocktail party, he kept saying that he wanted to have an affair with her and forced her to comply.
He obviously knew everything, yet he teased her like a pet.
Xiao Xuanjin looked at her extremely excited expression and nonchalantly enjoyed her anger at the moment, "Su Mi, you can't stand it? I just fought back a little bit, and you can't stand it?"
His tone gradually turned harsh. "...Compared to the scams you committed back then, this isn't even one ten-thousandth of what you did. You're already so anxious, how are you going to get by in the future?"
Hearing him talk about the past, Su Mi knew that she had lied to him a lot, and she admitted it.
However, she really didn't understand why he wanted to tie her up with marriage.
Is it so that he can torture her at any time after marriage?
Come to think of it, this is the only possibility.
"The wedding is cancelled. I won't go crazy with you, Xiao Xuanjin."
Su Mi didn't want to say anything more to this man who only wanted revenge on her. Even if he was targeting her, she could understand.
But her marriage was at stake...she couldn't accept it.
He can even control marriage, so what else can't he do?
I was originally looking forward to a worry-free marriage, but now it has become the most worry-free one.
She was wrong. She shouldn't have let her parents decide. She should have made the decision herself and this wouldn't have happened.
I regret it so much that my intestines are turning green.
"Cancel? Miss Su, haven't you figured out who holds the dominant position?"
He was like a high and mighty law enforcer, and his words were like frost and ice, without any warmth, which made her realize that he was the one who held the power.
Su Mi collected her thoughts, not wanting to be led by him by the nose, "I'll find a way to cancel it."
After saying that, she turned sideways and walked forward.
Xiao Xuanjin suddenly laughed, as if laughing at her naiveté, "Okay, go ahead. But Su Boren's grand plan might be ruined in your hands."
Su Mi suddenly turned around, "What do you mean?"
"Your father is determined to win the Huacheng market. He's already looked at several pieces of land. He'll need even more connections and relationships. Do you think he can succeed without the Xiao family's help?"
Su Mi thought again of what he said against Su Boren at the cocktail party. He said he would take action, but in fact he was talking to her now.
He had planned every step in advance.
The key point is that last night, she also heard the plan of her father in the study, and knew that Xiao Xuanjin did not lie to her about Huacheng.
"It's okay if you don't have any help. When my father started his business, he didn't get any help either."
Xiao Xuanjin hummed softly, laughing at her stubbornness. "What if this help turns into resistance?"
"Don't be so hypocritical. Do you think I will believe that you can be so kind as to help me?"
"Of course I'm not a good person, but if we can become a family, then I have to help."
A family? He was determined to lock her into marriage.
Thinking of this, Su Mi laughed angrily, "So, you agree to my proposal. As long as I agree to get married, you will target me in the future and not my family?"
Xiao Xuanjin's eyes were shrouded in a mysterious light as he answered cryptically, "That depends on your performance. If you're willing to repay it with all your strength... I'm also very easy to talk to."
The person who refused to agree that day actually agreed so readily today.
This was originally her proposal. Although it came at the cost of her marriage, Su Mi was willing to do it because it could bring benefits to the family and ensure the peace of her family.
Moreover, Xiao Xuanjin became like this because of her. This was also her fault. She should take responsibility for it and not implicate her family.
There was just one thing she couldn't understand: did he really have to sacrifice his own marriage for revenge?
Su Mi's expression was a bit complicated. She looked at the man in front of her, "Do you really want to marry me?"
Took a few steps closer.
She was wearing a thick pearl-colored woven dress today with a hollow design at the waist, revealing a faint slender waist.
She walked over, took his hand, and placed it on her waist. Her voice was like a hook, and she kissed Li Zi lightly. "Xiao Xuanjin, you don't... still like me, do you?"
