Chapter 134: Big Gamble
"Me?" Su Mi pointed at herself, pondering the meaning of his words.
Xiao Xuanjin looked at her confused eyes at the moment, as if she really didn't understand. Thinking about it, he probably thought she was just pretending. "Why? You don't want to? It seems that the compensation you mentioned is just talk."
It was so hard for him to believe her for once, and Su Mi didn't want him to feel that she was lying to him again.
Compensating her is not just talk.
I figured out what he meant, "So... you still insist on marrying me?"
"What else? Wasn't my performance obvious enough?"
Su Mi lowered her head and clenched her fingers. The box was quiet and Xiao Xuanjin did not disturb her, as if giving her time to think.
After a while, she seemed to have made up her mind and said, "Okay, I promise you."
Xiao Xuanjin glanced at her with an indifferent expression, "So... the wedding date..."
"I have one condition."
It was true that Su Mi wanted to make amends and that she wanted to free herself from the guilt, but she didn't want to spend the rest of her life like this.
"You are not sincere. You still want to negotiate with me at this critical juncture." Xiao Xuanjin's tone was already a little impatient.
Even though she knew he would say that, Su Mi still wanted to make it clear that she didn't want the two of them to be entangled in pain for the rest of their lives.
"Three years...three years. During these three years, you can ask me to do anything, as long as it's not against the law or morality. But after three years, this marriage must be dissolved."
Su Mi thought, they had been dating for almost three months, and now she was paying him back for three years. She hoped that he would no longer hate her and that the past should be resolved.
What happened back then has troubled her for too long. None of it was her intention, but the damage had been done, especially since Xiao Xuanjin almost lost his life. She knew that she owed him after all.
The system once said that she could not tell anyone about its existence, so she could not tell anyone about the mission.
Moreover, Xiao Xuanjin now doesn't want to believe her at all.
So, now, she can only do her best to make up for it.
Hearing her three-year deadline, Xiao Xuanjin frowned and looked at her with a cold and deep gaze, "Are you sure you want to shorten the wedding date to three years?"
Su Mi vaguely guessed what he meant. He might have been planning to slowly target her after marriage. If she shortened the time, he would definitely not have that much patience and would only become more aggressive.
Even so, Su Mi will persist.
If asked to choose between long-term pain or short-term pain, she would definitely choose short-term pain.
As for Xiao Xuanjin, he is obviously the opposite of her.
"I'm sure we should draw up a prenuptial agreement and spell all of this out. Of course, if you have any requests, you can also write them in. I'll do my best to satisfy you."
Hearing this, Xiao Xuanjin gave a meaningful and chilling smile, "Okay, as long as you don't regret it."
After saying that, he picked up his coat, slammed the door and left.
The moment the door closed.
Su Mi's nerves finally relaxed. He looked up at the ceiling and realized that he had also been influenced by Xiao Xuanjin.
He was crazy enough to sacrifice his marriage, and she agreed in a daze.
While being perfectly sober, both of them were rushing towards an absurd gamble.
But fortunately, it’s only three years.
Three years later, hopefully everything will be settled.
After sitting in the box for a while, Su Mi returned to the Su Mansion.
Su Boren and Wei Rushuang haven't come back yet, most likely they are still with their in-laws.
When Su Mi returned to the study, he saw a black file on his desk that he had not had time to open before going on a business trip.
I couldn't help but wonder, if she had seen it that day, what would she do? Would she be able to control the situation in time?
Then she shook her head. There is no if in this world. What was she thinking?
Opening the file, Su Mi saw information about the Xiao family.
She knew about the Xiao family when she was in Huacheng, but most of what she knew was from what others said.
Now I finally get to know the Xiao family officially.
After flipping through a few pages, I saw Xiao Xuanjin's information.
Most of them are decisions and proposals he made after taking charge of the family business.
After seeing this, Su Mi realized that he had never let himself be idle in these years.
Perhaps this is the Xiao Xuanjin that the system wants to see.
Suddenly I remembered that New Year’s Eve.
The wish she told him was that he could shoulder his responsibilities and take the path he should take.
In the end, he still fulfilled his promise.
Closing the documents in his hand, Su Mi opened his notebook and began to search for everything in Huacheng.
It was almost dusk when Su Boren and Wei Rushuang came back.
Su Mi called them directly into the study.
Su Boren sat at the tea table, skillfully boiling water and making tea. "Qingqing, what do you want to talk to us about?"
Wei Rushuang leaned against the sofa, waiting for her daughter to ask questions.
Su Mi looked at her parents and asked, "Let me ask you, when did you decide to join the Xiao family?"
"Baby, why are you asking this all of a sudden?"
"I want to know the whole story." Although things have come to this point, Su Mi still wants to find out the truth.
Su Boren didn't intend to hide it. "We both had that plan before you returned to China, but we took into consideration the wishes of you young people...that's why..."
Su Mi didn't expect it to be so early. The key point was that no one from the Xiao family came to the homecoming banquet.
"Dad, this is wrong. If you have that intention, why didn't you bring Xiao Xuanjin to the banquet that day?"
Although Wei Rushuang was puzzled by her daughter's reaction, she still explained, "Xiao Jin came to the dinner that day and fell in love with you at first sight. However, he didn't find a chance to meet you."
What love at first sight? This must be a lie made up by Xiao Xuanjin to deceive them.
Wait... So actually, the reason Xiao Xuanjin intercepted her car that day was not because he tracked her down through overseas leads, but because he discovered her at a dinner party.
But he actually endured and didn't look for her at the party, but came to make trouble after it was over. He probably didn't want her to know that he was also on the invitation list that day.
This also makes it convenient for him to do something unexpected. This man is really insidious now.
Su Mi held her forehead and said that before the dinner that day, she always felt that she had forgotten something, and she forgot to look at the guest list.
She was really careless. She never thought that her parents would invite the family from Huacheng to come all the way to attend the banquet.
What was even more unexpected was that Xiao Xuanjin actually came.
"Mom and Dad, why did you want me to marry to Huacheng? I'm currently taking over the company. How can I manage it if I go there?"
Su Mi's original thought was that her parents would definitely choose a family in Jiangcheng for marriage, and at most a family in the surrounding area.
After all, she still has the responsibility of being the heir. If she marries far away, she will be unable to do anything.
