Damn, How could my family be so wealthy?!-Chapter 418 - 417 A Different Attitude

"Sister-in-law, Maohua and I only found out about Xuanxuan dating last night as well."

"To be honest, I also want to meet Su Mu, but we can’t rush things either, can we? We should give the kids some time, right?"

Bai Mingyun was still unaware that her daughter had already arranged to visit Su Mu’s family tomorrow.

Bai Mingyun felt that her sister-in-law’s direct questioning might make Xuanxuan feel embarrassed.

What if Xuanxuan mentioned wanting to invite Su Mu over to their house during their outing today?

But what if Su Mu didn’t agree?

After all, Su Mu and Xuanxuan haven’t been dating for that long, so Bai Mingyun thought it would be understandable if Su Mu didn’t want to meet the parents so soon.

Bai Mingyun decided it would be better to wait until she had a private conversation with Xuanxuan about Su Mu’s attitude today before discussing these matters further.

"Oh, right, right, Xuanxuan, your aunt got so excited she forgot everything."

"How can we rush something like this?"

"Your aunt was just thinking about going back to Huangtong City early tomorrow morning with your cousin and Allen."

"In my haste, I truly wasn’t considerate enough."

He Jingfen certainly understood Bai Mingyun’s point.

Realizing she had indeed been too eager, He Jingfen quickly agreed.

Xuanxuan is shy, and He Jingfen definitely didn’t want her niece to feel embarrassed because of her inappropriate remarks.

He Jingfen felt she might have worried too much.

Su Mu of the Su Family Group, a local of Huadong City, how could He Jingfen harbor the same overcautious attitude due to her daughter and Allen’s affair as if ’once bitten by a snake, one fears a well rope for ten years’?

Besides, even if something did happen between Xuanxuan and Su Mu, He Jingfen knew that her sister-in-law and brother-in-law would surely handle it differently than her husband had with Wanting and Allen.

If the partner changed, having the same attitude would be strange indeed.

If Allen knew his future mother-in-law thought this way, he would surely feel wronged.

Apart from not being a local, Allen comes from a prominent and respected family, doesn’t he?

How come Allen is so unwelcome in the Bai Family?

The truth is, Bai Mingqi and He Jingfen are just worried that their daughter may face hardships in her international marriage.

"Mom, Aunt, Su Mu has agreed to come visit our home tomorrow."

Jiang Xinxuan knew her mother and aunt were just trying to spare her from embarrassment by saying this.

Jiang Xinxuan certainly understood her mother and aunt’s good intentions.

If Su Mu really hadn’t accepted Jiang Xinxuan’s invitation, she would definitely have taken the out her mother and aunt had offered.

But now Jiang Xinxuan was confident, and she didn’t need that out anymore.

Her boyfriend had already accepted the invitation, so Jiang Xinxuan was indeed full of confidence.

Jiang Xinxuan felt that Su Mu’s willingness to meet her parents was an acknowledgement of their relationship from his heart.

Jiang Xinxuan had already met Su Mu’s parents.

After tomorrow, it would be as if both Jiang Xinxuan and Su Mu had met each other’s elders.

In Jiang Xinxuan’s heart, this was a step further in her relationship with Su Mu.

"Xuanxuan, is that true? Did you talk to Su Mu about this tonight?"

Bai Mingyun was still somewhat incredulous.

When Bai Mingyun discussed this matter with Xuanxuan at noon, Xuanxuan clearly seemed unsure.

Bai Mingyun thought he would have to wait a while before he could meet his future son-in-law.

But in just one evening, Xuanxuan brought back such good news.

Bai Mingyun felt it was truly beyond his expectations.

It seemed that Su Mu was quite easy to talk to after all.

Or rather, Su Mu was very serious about the relationship with Xuanxuan.

Bai Mingyun had never said it out loud, but the heart that had been hanging in suspense finally settled down.

Bai Mingyun realized he had been completely misled by Xuanxuan’s attitude.

Xuanxuan’s hesitant demeanor at noon led Bai Mingyun to believe Su Mu was unwilling to meet both him and Xuanxuan’s father.

It turned out that all of it was just his daughter’s uncertainty.

"Yes, today I mentioned to Su Mu that Dad and Mom would like to invite him over, and he agreed right away,"

To emphasize that Su Mu had made no excuses, Jiang Xinxuan deliberately stressed the words "agreed right away."

Jiang Xinxuan felt it was essential to make her parents and aunt sense Su Mu’s "sincerity."

"That’s great, Su Mu is coming tomorrow at noon, right? I’ll have the maid prepare well."

In her excitement, Bai Mingyun completely forgot how late it was and was about to head to the maid’s room.

Due to He Jingfen’s arrival, Bai Mingyun had sent the domestic helpers to their rooms to rest after dinner.

It was very clear that Bai Mingyun didn’t want the domestic staff to know too much about her family matters.

Although the Bai Family didn’t reside in Huadong City, in the end, Bai Wanting’s unmarried pregnancy wasn’t something to be proud of.

Of course, Bai Mingyun had to dismiss the domestic helpers.

Now, thinking about Su Mu’s visit tomorrow, Bai Mingyun was truly overjoyed.

"Wife, whatever it is, it won’t be too late to discuss it tomorrow. Even if you call the maid now, she wouldn’t be able to go out and prepare the ingredients, right?"

Jiang Maohua was somewhat calmer after all.

Although he was very happy to hear from Xuanxuan that Su Mu would come to their house, unlike Bai Mingyun, Jiang Maohua kept this joy to himself.

Besides, Jiang Maohua had at least seen Su Mu, and even though they hadn’t said a word to each other, he had indeed seen Su Mu’s true face.

Compared to Bai Mingyun, who was filled with curiosity about Su Mu, it was natural for Jiang Maohua to appear much calmer.

"Right, right, right, look at how excited I got, I forgot it’s already late at night."

Pulled back by her husband’s words, Bai Mingyun also came to her senses.

Waking the maid up in the middle of the night would be of no use, right?

The shops outside were already closed; was she supposed to make the maid line up in the middle of the night?

In today’s society, who needs to line up ahead of time to buy things?

Bai Mingyun felt somewhat embarrassed about making such a blunder.

"Xuanxuan, isn’t Su Mu coming until tomorrow noon?"

"Then hasn’t aunt seen our Xuanxuan’s boyfriend?"

Your part ends, and mine begins.

Before Bai Mingyun could recover from the embarrassment, He Jingfen seemed to ask with some discontent.

With her sister-in-law asking like that, Bai Mingyun felt her awkward state eased quite a bit.

At least now, everyone’s attention was on her sister-in-law, and Bai Mingyun leaned closer to her husband.

At this time, the strong woman Bai Mingyun also needed the comfort of her husband.

After all, there were three younger generations standing here.

It was rare for Bai Mingyun to commit such a "mistake".

"Auntie, I didn’t know you were coming today, and Su Mu and I planned to come to the house tomorrow noon," Jiang Xinxuan said.

Upon hearing her aunt’s words, Jiang Xinxuan knew her aunt must be anxious to bring her cousin and Allen back to Huangtong City.

After all, preparing for a wedding was not a simple matter.

There must be a lot of things to prepare for.

Besides, her cousin’s pregnancy wouldn’t wait for anyone.

Now that her uncle was finally relenting, her aunt must have a pile of things to deal with.

Jiang Xinxuan actually heaved a sigh of relief internally.

When she spoke with Su Mu, she didn’t know that her aunt was already at her house.

Nor had Jiang Xinxuan mentioned her aunt to Su Mu.

If her aunt hadn’t been planning to take her cousin and Allen back early tomorrow morning, Jiang Xinxuan had intended to speak with Su Mu about it while picking out a gift in the morning.

After all, her aunt was an elder, and Jiang Xinxuan was unsure if Su Mu would mind meeting so many elders of her family all at once.

Now, seeing her aunt’s regretful expression, Jiang Xinxuan felt relieved.

Jiang Xinxuan believed that this time, Su Mu was coming to meet her own father and mother.

As for Auntie and the other elders, Su Mu would surely get the chance to meet them later.

Besides, when her cousin got married, wouldn’t her aunt have the chance to meet Su Mu?

As for Su Mu, as Allen’s best man, he would surely attend his cousin and Allen’s wedding.

With this thought, Jiang Xinxuan wanted to comfort her own aunt.

Because her aunt truly looked regretful and frustrated.

"Mom, Su Mu isn’t your future son-in-law, it’s better to leave the opportunity for tomorrow to my aunt," Jiang Xinxuan stated.

Before Jiang Xinxuan could comfort her own aunt, Bai Wanting couldn’t stand it and interjected in a timely manner.

Since Su Mu was Xuanxuan’s boyfriend and the aunt had yet to meet him, Bai Wanting was genuinely afraid that her mother’s anxious demeanor would scare Su Mu.

"What are you talking about? I’m also concerned about Xuanxuan," said He Jingfen, shooting her daughter a look. Why did the words sound different coming out of Wanting’s mouth?

"Auntie, I know you care about me, but you’ll be able to see Su Mu very soon," Jiang Xinxuan said, moving forward to take her aunt’s arm.

Jiang Xinxuan of course understood that her aunt cared about her; it was just that her aunt’s concern was a bit too eager, leaving her feeling somewhat odd.

"What do you mean, Xuanxuan? Are you planning to bring Su Mu to meet your grandmother and uncle?" He Jingfen asked excitedly, wondering if this meant her husband was one step closer to meeting his idol.

"Sister-in-law, don’t get too excited," Bai Mingyun cautioned, tugging at the sleeve of her sister-in-law’s clothing, signaling He Jingfen to moderate her emotions.

Bai Mingyun and Jiang Maohua knew the reason behind their sister-in-law’s excitement, but the three younger ones at home didn’t.

Bai Mingyun was genuinely afraid that her sister-in-law’s demeanor might frighten Xuanxuan.

What if, because of her sister-in-law’s behavior, Xuanxuan didn’t bring Su Mu home tomorrow?

Bai Mingyun certainly didn’t want such a thing to happen.

Therefore, stabilizing his sister-in-law’s emotions was now the most pressing task for Bai Mingyun.

Bai Mingyun seemed to forget that he had just been so excited he almost wished to immediately have his aunt start preparations.

"Mingyun, how can I not be agitated? If Xuanxuan brings Su Mu to see your brother, who knows how thrilled he might become."

Unable to suppress the excitement within, He Jingfen inadvertently "betrayed" her own husband.

"Mom, what do you mean? If Xuanxuan brings Su Mu back to see Grandma, why would Dad be agitated?"

Bai Wanting was genuinely confused by her own mother’s words.

Even if Xuanxuan brought a boyfriend home to Huangtong City, her father would surely be happy.

But agitated?

After all, when Bai Wanting, the biological daughter of Bai Mingqi, brought her own boyfriend home, Bai Mingqi was indeed agitated for a while.

But it was definitely out of anger, not the joyous kind of agitation.

Therefore, it was perfectly normal for Bai Wanting to feel puzzled.

"Your dad is just irritated by you."

Faced with her daughter’s questions, He Jingfen finally caught on.

There was no other choice; at this moment, He Jingfen had to use Bai Wanting as a shield.

Bai Wanting blinked in surprise, okay, when it came to this, Bai Wanting herself didn’t feel confident anymore.

It seemed that her father genuinely resisted intercultural marriages.

Otherwise, her mother wouldn’t have been so sure that her father would be incredibly agitated just because Xuanxuan’s boyfriend was a local from Huadong City.

"Xuanxuan, you haven’t answered your aunt’s question yet. Will you really bring Su Mu to see your grandmother and your uncles?"

Even if the conversation had been sidetracked for a while, He Jingfen insisted on getting a clear answer.

"Auntie, Su Mu has already agreed to be a groomsman for my cousin and Allen’s wedding. You and Uncle will get to see Su Mu then, won’t you?"

Since the aunt kept mentioning her uncle, Jiang Xinxuan smoothly included the uncle in the conversation too.

"Su Mu will be a groomsman for Allen? Is that true?"

After getting a nod of affirming response from Bai Wanting, He Jingfen’s smile became even harder to conceal.

"Now I’m relieved. Wanting, when you go back tomorrow, tell your dad this news. I guess the last bit of displeasure in his heart will vanish into thin air."

Unable to hide her sense of triumph, He Jingfen felt her daughter really didn’t know how to leverage the advantageous position she held.

Having Su Mu as a groomsman at the wedding was like a trump card in Wanting’s hand, wasn’t it?

After so much hassle, Wanting hadn’t even considered playing this trump card, which made He Jingfen think her daughter was a bit slow.

What He Jingfen didn’t consider was that none of the three young people standing here knew Bai Mingqi’s fanatical adoration for Su Mu’s grandfather.

If Bai Wanting had known about this, she would have asked Su Mu for help without a second thought immediately after meeting him yesterday.

Luckily, now that Bai Mingqi had finally softened, the trump card in Wanting’s hand could only play one percent of its potential effect.

Hearing her mother’s words, Bai Wanting’s confusion grew even larger.

But considering her mother seemed a bit off today, Bai Wanting still held back the question she was ready to ask.

Bai Wanting truly felt her mother was taking Xuanxuan’s boyfriend, Su Mu, to heart a bit too much.

Glancing at Allen by her side, Bai Wanting thought it was better to find another opportunity to ask her mother.

With such a stark contrast, Wanting really worried that Allen might get hurt.
