Chapter 133 I Want Something
If she agrees to this marriage, the consequence... will definitely be that both of them will be trapped in a painful marriage life and unable to find relief.
If she doesn't agree, judging from Xiao Xuanjin's intention, she will definitely hinder her father's advance into Huacheng.
For the Su family, losing a market is nothing, but once she agrees to the marriage, there is no turning back.
She was struggling in her heart when the door of the box was pushed open again.
It was Wei Rushuang who came out this time. "Qingqing, what are you still standing there for? Come in and have dinner."
Seeing the joy on his mother's face, Su Mi suppressed the depression in his heart and said, "I'm here."
After walking a few steps, he returned to the box.
This time, Xiao Xuanjin had already sat in the empty seat opposite her.
He took off his suit jacket and put it on one side. He was wearing a white shirt and a dark blue vest. The watch on his cuff was conspicuous and dazzling, which made his temperament highlight a bit of coldness.
When he saw her come in, he just glanced at her lightly and then looked away.
Su Mi was pulled by Wei Rushuang to sit in the same seat as before, which was opposite Xiao Xuanjin.
The distance was very close, and I could see him just by looking up.
Sitting opposite each other, Su Mi watched the waiter serving the dishes without looking at him.
Several elders were chatting in the box.
"My dear relatives, would you like to stay a little longer this time and have some fun before leaving?"
"Forget it, I still have some things to deal with when I get back. I'll come back next time."
"Regarding the wedding date, I wonder how my in-laws will arrange it?" This was asked by Su Boren.
Xiao Heng replied, "I've discussed this with Ke'er. There's still a lot to prepare for the wedding, so we can't do it too early. We've chosen a few dates and see what my in-laws think."
Xu Ke took over the conversation, "Yes, it's mid-July now. I think next New Year's Day would be a good date. The timing is also suitable. Otherwise, it would be after the Spring Festival. March and May are both good dates."
Su Boren and Wei Rushuang exchanged a glance, then looked at Su Mi, "Qingqing, what do you think?"
Su Mi's thoughts were already in a mess, and now hearing that both families were already discussing the wedding date, she became even more upset, "I think..."
But Xiao Xuanjin interrupted her and said, "Don't worry, it won't be too late for me to discuss it with her privately and then make a decision."
Upon hearing that they wanted to discuss it privately, both parents stopped mentioning it and just let them do as they pleased.
Su Mi looked at the man opposite. What did he mean by discussing in private? Was he afraid that she would reject the marriage proposal on the spot and ruin the plan he had painstakingly planned for so long?
Next, the parents turned the topic to them.
Wei Rushuang smiled and said, "I'm quite satisfied with this marriage. This young man now knows how to negotiate things. I'm sure he'll be able to live a good life in the future."
Xu Ke also looked relieved, "My son, it's rare that he can give me so little worry this time."
The two people being talked about didn't even look at each other.
One eats slowly and leisurely.
One of them lowered his head and drank soup.
Xiao Heng glanced at his son with a satisfied expression, "So, they are destined to be together. Otherwise, how could this go so smoothly?"
Su Boren glanced at his daughter, who lowered her head as if shy, and said, "Seeing Qingqing find someone like Xiaojin, I feel relieved."
I had no idea how to enjoy the meal as all I could hear was the parents from both sides talking about them or discussing future wedding arrangements.
Su Mi couldn't hear anything and just wanted it to be over quickly.
After they finally finished their meal, the parents of both sides agreed that they should give their young people some space to spend time together.
Finally, both parents left, leaving only Su Mi and Xiao Xuanjin in the box.
Su Mi felt that there was nothing more to say to him, so she picked up her bag and prepared to leave.
Xiao Xuanjin suddenly said, "Why don't we talk?"
"What do you want to talk about?" Su Mi stopped and sat down again.
"Marrying me will not be bad for you or your Su family. Putting aside the right and wrong between us, this is actually a very suitable marriage."
When it comes to the impact on the family, Su Mi naturally knows that what he said is the truth.
Judging from the satisfaction of both sets of parents, it can be seen that everyone is happy with this marriage.
But for her? What good would it do? It would probably just be constant torture.
"Xiao Xuanjin, stop pretending. You should know exactly what your purpose is."
"What's the purpose of this? I just want to get married." Xiao Xuanjin leaned back in his chair, his posture calm, as if he was sure of victory.
"Get married? With your status, will you be short of a marriage partner?" Su Mi couldn't help but ask, wanting to tear off his false mask.
"Yes, otherwise why would I...find you."
When he said this, Su Mi clearly felt the oppression from him.
The suffix "find you" is particularly clear, which sounds like a relentless pursuit that will not stop until it bites and bleeds.
"Xiao Xuanjin, why do you have to force me like this? Otherwise, you can just give me a knife and kill me."
Maybe if he was more direct, she would feel better.
If this continues, not to mention whether there is room for easing the grudges, her spirit is about to collapse.
"I'm not interested in stabbing people with a knife." Xiao Xuanjin replied indifferently.
"Then can I explain to you what happened back then..." Since he is unwilling to let go of the past grudges, I have no choice but to find a way to explain it clearly.
"It was good back then... Then let's talk about those days and figure out how much you cheated me of."
She spoke in that accusatory tone again. He had no mood to listen to her explanation. "You didn't even give me a chance to speak."
Xiao Xuanjin looked at her coldly, "Here, just tell me, do you have any regrets at all?"
Su Mi paused and looked back at him, her clear eyes imprinted with determination. "Although those things were not my original intention, they were caused by my own hands. I know I have let you down, and I am willing to do my best to make amends."
"Look at you now, so insincere. If I didn't know your true face, I might be deceived by your false appearance."
"I have no need to lie to you." Su Mi really didn't want to hear him speak in that tone.
Every time I heard it, I felt more uncomfortable, and the nightmares at night only became more severe.
"Okay, then tell me how you plan to compensate me."
Su Mi looked at him dumbfounded. Did he want to believe what she just said?
Does this mean that he still has confidence in himself?
Then he continued, "Miss Su, compensation isn't something you can just talk about. You have to take real action. Otherwise, why should I trust you?"
Is he really giving her a chance?
Countless things quickly passed through Su Mi's mind.
After thinking for a long time, Xiao Xuanjin has been a child of destiny since childhood and has lacked nothing. He definitely won't look down on material compensation.
So, she said something really stupid, "Whatever you want, I will do my best to get it for you."
Xiao Xuanjin seemed to be waiting for her to say this, "Okay, I want something right now."
"What?" Su Mi perked up. As long as it could ease the relationship between them, she was willing to give it a try.
"You..." Xiao Xuanjin pointed at her with an evil and rampant expression.
