Chapter 208 Four Wishes

A small light was on in the bedroom, casting a dim light on the ground, and 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 goblet in his hand, leaning against the wall, with his long legs casually bent, looking out the window. There was a sense of loneliness and decadence about him.

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

Xiao Xuanjin turned around, his eyes hazy with drunkenness, and said in a hoarse 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 tasted very strong. Su Mi took a sip and frowned, "This wine...was given to you by my dad?"

"Well, Dad said he had treasured 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 wine was strong and she would get drunk easily, so she put down the glass.

He glanced at Xiao Xuanjin beside him and raised his head to drink up all the wine in the bottom of the glass. His throat was rolling, and his expression was the same as usual 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, "Su Su."

"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 looked her in the eye, his dark eyes filled with her gorgeous face, and his voice was very deep, like a sigh that had been brewing for a long time and 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 let her down.

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

She had remembered him all these years, but what did he do to her after they met again? He 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. Looking at his face, which was illuminated by the warm light, with distinct light and dark, and a graceful outline, she became more focused, "Hubby, that's all in the past. I don't mean to blame you."

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

Xiao Xuanjin was already much kinder than she had imagined.

"Don't you blame me?"

"You don't blame me, so how can I blame you?" He was willing to forgive her for what she did back then, so what else should she worry about?

Su Mi sighed, raised his hand to touch his face, and half-jokingly said, "If you blame yourself for this, then I will die as an atonement."

She knew very well how mentally devastating 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 not dead."

"Honey, I want to tell you that you can blame yourself, and I will 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 tightly and whispered, "Okay."

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

Wish?

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

"You...saw it?"

"Um."

No wonder he felt so strange today, it turned out he saw those three flowers.

"I'm sorry, I lied to you at first, and it was for..." 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 to be determined to help her realize her wish, Su Mi wanted to help him, "Then I'll think about it."

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

Su Mi leaned on his shoulder and said, "Hubby, what happened on the snow mountain that year..." Speaking of wishes, she remembered the time on the snow mountain again.

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

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

Su Mi thought about it and decided not to bring it up, so as not to recall the sad past.

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."

They were happy together, and she wanted others to be happy too.

"Have you thought about it?"

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

"What is it?"

…

Two days later, it suddenly started raining in Jiangcheng. Dense mist slanted down from the sky, and the sky turned pale 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 were internal conflicts, high-level decision-making problems, chaotic management, and inefficient complex organizational structure. In addition, they had previously incurred excessive debts in order to expand their scale, had difficulties in financing, and had failed to collect accounts receivable, which led to a breakdown in the funding chain.

Moreover, the production costs and management expenses were not effectively controlled in a timely manner, the profit margin was compressed, and the long-term high-cost operation has put the company at a disadvantage in the market.

Now the Gu family is in danger amidst the storm.

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 doesn't have much time left. 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 commercial vehicle 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 in all directions, driving in a large number, and they were about to surround the Gu family's car in the middle.

It looks like those people are really ready to take action.
