Mr. Mu appears aloof in public, but secretly proposes marriage and kisses.

"Mingli, drink less! You've already had so much."

Lin Xing'er snatched the wine bottle from Su Mingli and urged him to stop drinking.

Su Mingli tried to take it from her, but failed.

He slumped back onto the sofa, his eyes bloodshot as he stared at the empty table.

With a gloomy expression, he said, "What's wrong with me having a few drinks? Do you even dare to tell me what to do?"

Lin Xing'er rolled her eyes at his self-destructive attitude.

If it weren't for the fact that he could still be of some profit to her, she wouldn't bother with him at all.

"You've been drinking for two days and two nights in a row, and today is the third day. What happened that's making you so upset? Tell me, maybe it won't hurt so much if you talk about it."

Lin Xing'er spoke to him in a professional tone, gently shaking his arm.

Su Mingli looked at her with hazy eyes, then suddenly murmured, "If you were alone... locked in a basement for several days, would you... be scared?"

Lin Xing'er's heart skipped a beat, and her expression froze.

She quickly replied in a terrified tone, "Of course I'm scared! Anyone would be scared if they were locked in a basement for days!"

Su Mingli covered her face and cried silently.

No wonder Su Muran disliked him so much, and looked at him with such coldness.

He only wanted to find her and start over, but he never considered the severe psychological trauma he caused her by locking her in the basement.

"Who's being locked in the basement? Is someone trying to lock you up? Have you offended someone?"

Lin Xing'er quickly grabbed a few tissues and wiped his tears while asking him curiously.

Su Mingli said painfully, "Three years ago... I locked Ranran in the basement, so she hates me and refuses to forgive me."

Lin Xing'er: "..."

He couldn't help but think to himself, "You locked her in the basement for days, how could she possibly forgive you?"

If it were Su Yunge, it would be one thing, since she seems cold and aloof.

The person who can be imprisoned is Su Muran.

Although she had only met Su Muran twice, based on her years of experience in society, she could tell at a glance that Su Muran was a pampered princess who had been spoiled since childhood.

She is a completely different person from him.

Just thinking about such a delicate and beautiful flower being locked up in the basement makes me feel hopeless for her.

"Tell me, what should I do to get her to forgive me?"

Su Mingli asked, her voice choked with emotion.

Lin Xing'er thought to herself, "Only a ghost would forgive you."

"You two are siblings who grew up together. Although you're not related by blood, the bond you share as childhood sweethearts is something no one else can match. She's just angry for the moment; she'll definitely forgive you in time."

"Really? She really will forgive me? But Mu Tingshen... how can he be the chairman of Mushen Group? If he were a gigolo, I would still be confident in winning her back. But now... I'm not confident, Xing'er, you know? I'm afraid I'm not as good as him, I'm afraid Ranran will look down on me."

Lin Xing'er thought to herself, even without Mu Tingshen, Su Muran would still dislike you.

She still comforted him gently, saying, "No, how can an outsider compare to you? But I didn't expect him to be such an important person. What a miscalculation. I shouldn't have slandered him as a thief last time. I should have seduced him."

If she could seduce a big shot like Mu Tingshen, would she still need to stay here and coax Su Mingli?

"Seduce him? Yes, you seduce him. Make Ranran disappointed in him, and he'll come back to me."

As if awakened, Su Mingli stumbled to her feet and pulled Lin Xing'er outside.

They were in a karaoke bar.

After leaving the house, Su Mingli staggered around, and since she was holding someone's hand, she quickly bumped into someone.

"Get out of my way, are you blind?"

In a drunken state, Su Mingli flew into a rage, yelling at people without even looking at them.

He was unlucky; the other party wasn't exactly a pushover either.

"Damn it, you hit me yourself, and you're still swearing at me?"

A fist came flying and hit Su Mingli in the face.

Lin Xing'er screamed in fright and quickly hid to the side, afraid of getting hurt.

Su Mingli, not to be outdone after being hit, retaliated with a punch fueled by alcohol.

Su Yunge had just dropped Professor Su off at home when she received a call from the police station.

"Hello, is Su Mingli a family member?"

"Yes, he is my brother."

"He's at the police station right now. Could someone from your family please come over?"

Su Yunge: "..."

"Okay, I'll be right there."

After hanging up the phone, Su Yunge called Su Mingli again.

She was afraid it was a scam.

This time, someone finally answered Su Mingli's phone.

However, it wasn't Su Mingli who answered the phone, but Lin Xing'er.

"Yun Ge, we're at the police station. The police called you, right? Come over here! Your brother got into a fight and has to pay compensation. I don't know what to do."

"Wait, I'll be right there."

Su Yunge hung up the phone and took a deep breath.

She didn't leave immediately, but knocked on Professor Su's door, gave him blood pressure medication and sedatives, and then subtly mentioned that Su Mingli had been taken to the police station for fighting.

"What? Your mother's still in the hospital, and he doesn't care at all. He even drank and got into a fight, and ended up in the police station?"

Professor Su was so angry that he trembled all over, and even his breathing was shaky.

Su Yunge quickly helped him catch his breath, and it took a while for his breathing to stabilize.

Professor Su's tone was full of disappointment and frustration: "Tell him he's never allowed to set foot in the house again, and I'll pretend I never had this brat!"

"Dad, you should rest well. I'll persuade my brother to come back and apologize to you."

Su Yunge helped him sit down and then called the nanny to look after him before leaving with peace of mind.

Professor Su watched Su Yunge's departing figure and sighed again.

Actually, he didn't like his daughter who suddenly came home at first.

His two children are outstanding and have always been role models among his relatives and friends.

The once happy and fulfilling family was shattered by Su Yunge's sudden appearance.

They had raised Su Muran with such care for so many years, how could they be willing to exchange such an outstanding daughter for a child who hadn't even attended university?

Not to mention that since this matter came to light, the son's personality has changed drastically, causing chaos in the family.

He once harbored resentment towards Su Yunge, thinking that if she hadn't come looking for him, their family wouldn't have fallen apart.

But over the past three years, this child has consistently proven himself through his actions.

She can be just as excellent.

Perhaps he should change his mind and nurture her properly.

After Su Yunge signed the papers and paid the compensation, she picked Su Mingli up from the police station.

"Why are you here?"

Su Mingli also disliked Su Yunge. Although they were siblings, their relationship had always been distant.

Su Yunge snorted coldly and said, "Who else do you think it is? If the police station hadn't called me, I wouldn't have come here. Also, Dad said he's very disappointed in you, and you shouldn't come into the house anymore. He'll pretend he never had you."

"Su Yunge, you..."

"Also, Sister Muran is grateful to Mr. Mu for helping her contact the doctor and accompany him to the jewelry banquet. Don't bother them unless you have to, lest you anger Mr. Mu and make him unwilling to help anymore."
