Damn, How could my family be so wealthy?!-Chapter 422 - 421: Wronging Oneself

At his girlfriend’s request, Su Mu sent a WeChat message to Xuanxuan before leaving the house.

"I’m ready to set off."

"Okay, I’m also ready. I’ll wait for you at the main entrance."

Instant reply.

Today was the day Jiang Xinxuan had agreed to meet with Su Mu, so naturally, her phone was even less likely to be out of reach.

Early in the morning, He Jingfen had gone back home with Bai Wanting and Allen.

Jiang Xinxuan also got up early to send off her aunt and cousin as they left the house.

Even though she already knew that Su Mu would attend the wedding as Allen’s groomsman.

He Jingfen was still not very reassured and repeatedly urged her niece to bring Su Mu to Huangtong City to meet her grandmother and uncle.

Jiang Xinxuan didn’t know why her aunt was so eager to see Su Mu.

But since it was something that had already been agreed upon, Jiang Xinxuan didn’t need to say much and simply agreed immediately.

Jiang Xinxuan knew that Su Mu was not one to go back on his promises.

And Su Mu had indicated the night before that he did not mind going to Huangtong City to meet her uncle and aunt. fгee𝑤ebɳoveɭ.cøm

Jiang Xinxuan now didn’t need to worry at all.

In their haste, He Jingfen, Bai Wanting, and Allen had set off without having breakfast.

Bai Mingyun was worried that skipping breakfast would be bad for her pregnant niece’s health and wanted to persuade her to stay.

But because Bai Wanting did not have an appetite, she declined her aunt’s kindness.

To prevent them from getting hungry on the road, Jiang Xinxuan thoughtfully packed a large bag of snacks for her cousin.

When Jiang Xinxuan had sent off her aunt and cousin, it was actually still quite early.

Thinking about Su Mu coming to her house to meet her parents today, Jiang Xinxuan was too excited to consider getting more sleep.

After hurriedly finishing breakfast, Jiang Xinxuan went back to her room to dress up beautifully and then waited in the living room with her mobile phone.

Upon receiving Su Mu’s WeChat message that he was setting off, Jiang Xinxuan was so excited she almost shouted.

Jiang Xinxuan didn’t quite understand why she was feeling so nervous when it was Su Mu who was coming to meet her parents.

"Su Mu is coming?"

After sending off her sister-in-law and niece, Bai Mingyun also started to get busy.

Of course, Bai Mingyun was busy directing people to prepare for the arrival of her future son-in-law.

Su Mu was the young master of the Su Family Group, and Bai Mingyun knew that despite him being a junior to her, she couldn’t afford to be careless at all.

Jiang Maohua, knowing that Su Mu was coming to the house today, even skipped going to the company.

However, since there was not much he could help with at home, Jiang Maohua was dealing with matters in his study, not nearly as busy as Bai Mingyun.

Bai Mingyun, who was in the living room instructing the servants what to prepare for lunch, saw her daughter’s excited behavior and immediately guessed that Su Mu must be on his way.

"You silly girl, why didn’t you say earlier that you arranged to meet with Su Mu so early? Look, I’m not prepared for anything now, how are we going to entertain Su Mu later?"

Bai Mingyun thought Xuanxuan had made a direct appointment for Su Mu to come to the house and, glancing at the time, felt she had absolutely no time to get ready.

She glanced at her daughter a bit reproachfully.

Bai Mingyun felt that Xuanxuan had always been measured in her actions.

For such a significant event as inviting Su Mu over to their house, why had Xuanxuan not left her any time to prepare?

Although it was Bai Mingyun who had brought up the idea of inviting Su Mu over, she had never imagined that Xuanxuan would arrange for him to come over early in the morning.

If Bai Mingyun had known that Su Mu was coming over in the early morning, she wouldn’t have slept the previous night and would have prepared right away.

"Mom, why are you so nervous, too?"

Jiang Xinxuan looked at her mother’s behavior and really couldn’t understand it.

She had already been anxious for half a day just because Su Mu was visiting their home.

Now, seeing her mother’s behavior, Jiang Xinxuan couldn’t help but feel like it wasn’t Su Mu’s first visit.

It was more like she and her mother were the ones visiting the elders for the first time.

"You child, what are you talking about? Am I anxious? I just think you should have told me in advance that Su Mu was coming to our house so early in the morning."

Being seen through by her daughter made Bai Mingyun feel somewhat embarrassed.

Thinking about it, Xuanxuan was right; it was Su Mu’s first visit, so why would she, the future mother-in-law, be so anxious?

After all, Bai Mingyun and Jiang Maohua were the elders today; if anyone should be nervous, shouldn’t it be Su Mu?

Unfortunately, Bai Mingyun knew the rationale but couldn’t forcibly control her feelings.

Perhaps it’s because Su Mu was so outstanding or because of his prestigious background as the young master of the Su Corporation.

Bai Mingyun made an excuse for her nervousness in her heart.

Of course, she would never admit that to her daughter.

Otherwise, wouldn’t that be a tacit admission of her anxiety?

"Mom, Su Mu had made plans to pick out gifts for you and Dad first, so he wouldn’t come to our house so early."

Jiang Xinxuan also found it hard to imagine how frantic her mother would appear had she misunderstood without being told clearly.

"Your father and I just wanted to meet Su Mu, what gifts are you talking about?"

"Didn’t you tell him to stop? What if his parents find out and think your dad and I are inviting Su Mu over just to get gifts?"

Due to Su Mu’s special status, Bai Mingyun tended to overthink things.

It’s quite normal for a junior to bring gifts on their first visit.

In fact, it would be strange if they came empty-handed.

But Bai Mingyun knew that whatever Su Mu would bring couldn’t be insignificant.

That’s why she had these concerns.

"Mom, Su Mu said that he couldn’t come for the first visit without a gift; otherwise, it’d be impolite."

"I did tell him no need to buy anything, but he said if he didn’t, then he wouldn’t come at all. What could I do?"

Jiang Xinxuan felt her mother had really wronged her.

Given the choice between Su Mu buying gifts and not agreeing to visit, Jiang Xinxuan would choose the former without a second thought.

After hearing her daughter’s explanation, Bai Mingyun didn’t blame Xuanxuan any longer.

Because, like her daughter’s choice, Bai Mingyun also preferred the former.

"Then, when you go to meet Su Mu’s parents, you must also bring a gift."

"Tonight, I will transfer some additional money onto your card"

"You will be choosing gifts with Su Mu, so you must not let anyone know how much he spends today, understand?"

Bai Mingyun thought that since Xuanxuan hadn’t joined the Su Family yet, it was crucial to make a good impression on Su Mu’s parents.

Bai Mingyun was not one to haggle over small benefits, and of course, she wouldn’t make such an oversight in a matter as important as her daughter’s future.

"Mom, I already have a lot of money on my card; there’s no need for more."

Jiang Xinxuan had been receiving a substantial allowance since high school, with six figures to start.

For a high school student, that was practically an astronomical sum.

Though Jiang Xinxuan did buy some luxury items like bracelets and necklaces,

being a student, she didn’t have many occasions to wear them.

Of course, I won’t buy them often either.

Another point is that these are Jiang Xinxuan’s allowance, and it is usually her mother who pays for her daughter’s jewelry.

So now the numbers in Jiang Xinxuan’s account are also quite impressive.

Even to say that Jiang Xinxuan is a little rich girl wouldn’t be an exaggeration.

Of course, Jiang Xinxuan’s status as a little rich girl only applies within her age group.

To those tycoons, the money in Jiang Xinxuan’s account is just a drop in the bucket.

"Keep the money in your account for yourself. Mommy will transfer five million to you tonight,"

"If that’s not enough, just let me know, and I’ll send you more."

Bai Mingyun certainly did not want her daughter to use her own pocket money to buy a gift as a return for Su Mu’s housewarming present.

Bai Mingyun knew the gift that Su Mu brought would definitely not be modest.

Even if Xuanxuan’s account was flush with cash, she had surely spent some of it over her three years in high school.

Just use what’s left in the account?

Anyway, Bai Mingyun felt that definitely wouldn’t be enough.

Originally, Bai Mingyun even thought about transferring ten million to Xuanxuan directly.

But on second thought, if the first housewarming gift Xuanxuan brought was too expensive, it wouldn’t be very appropriate.

It might give Su Mu’s parents the wrong idea, as if Xuanxuan was desperately trying to win their favor.

Therefore, Bai Mingyun eventually decided to transfer five million.

Bai Mingyun thought that amount should be about right. Even if it fell short, she could always send more money to Xuanxuan later.

"Okay, Mommy,"

Hearing her mother mention the five million, Jiang Xinxuan dared not object.

So her mother had planned for her to buy such an expensive gift all along.

Looking at the balance in her own account, Jiang Xinxuan realized she really didn’t have the confidence to refuse.

In three years of high school, even if Jiang Xinxuan had not spent a penny of her allowance, she still wouldn’t have five million.

Of course, if you include Jiang Xinxuan’s little private stash, then it was a different story.

After all, the amount of money Jiang Xinxuan received each year in the form of New Year’s money and the like was quite significant.

Jiang Xinxuan had never thought about emptying her private stash, so naturally, she agreed with her mother’s suggestion.

Jiang Xinxuan knew that five million was nothing to her parents.

So, Jiang Xinxuan wouldn’t take it too much to heart either.

"Xuanxuan, you have to be careful when you go out with Su Mu to pick a gift. Don’t pick anything too expensive, okay?"

"We don’t want to give Su Mu the impression that our family is like begging for gifts from him."

In her heart, Bai Mingyun was very firm about the idea that Xuanxuan must prepare expensive gifts for future visits to Su Mu’s home.

But for today’s gifts from Su Mu, Bai Mingyun was still very cautious.

After all, it was Bai Mingyun’s family who had invited Su Mu over.

If Su Mu brought gifts that were too expensive, Bai Mingyun feared people would think she invited Su Mu just for the gifts.

Of course, these were all overly cautious thoughts from Bai Mingyun.

It was simply because Su Mu was the young master of the Su Family conglomerate, and the Jiang Family’s wealth couldn’t compare to the Su Family’s.

Bai Mingyun would be extra cautious about that.

Bai Mingyun didn’t want the Su Family to think her daughter was after the Su Family’s wealth.

Bai Mingyun and her husband originally didn’t have this thought either.

However, after learning that their daughter was dating Su Mu, Bai Mingyun naturally became particularly attentive to this matter.

Not deliberately seeking to cling to someone powerful was one thing, but two young people falling in love on their own was another matter entirely.

Bai Mingyun now only hoped that Xuanxuan and Su Mu’s romance would have a beautiful outcome.

That certainly gave her an advantage over those girls who were bent on marrying into the Su Family.

In fact, not only Su Mu, but also Su Ruizhi, Bai Xiuping, and even Elder Su had never thought about these things.

In the eyes of the Su Family, this was just a very normal romance between young lovers.

Because the Su Family did not have to worry about matching social statuses, nor did they need to consider whether the girl’s family would have any objections due to their own family circumstances.

So, this was how the different attitudes of the two sets of parents came to be.

"I understand, Mom, I’ll try my best,"

Jiang Xinxuan could only tell her mother that she would try her best.

Because with Su Mu’s status, he would certainly disdain to buy anything too cheap.

Jiang Xinxuan knew without thinking that if she bought some cheap item, Su Mu would rather show up empty-handed.

Besides, Jiang Xinxuan didn’t have the confidence to change Su Mu’s mind, did she?

You see, Jiang Xinxuan usually wouldn’t have any objections to what Su Mu said.

After all, Jiang Xinxuan felt that her mother had already thought it through, so when she officially visited Su Mu’s parents, she could just pick out some expensive gifts, right?

Therefore, Jiang Xinxuan was no longer so worried about what gift Su Mu would choose now.

When responding to her mother, Jiang Xinxuan appeared much more relaxed.

"You child..."

Bai Mingyun clearly still had more to say, feeling that Xuanxuan wasn’t taking her words to heart.

Bai Mingyun, who had wanted to talk more with Xuanxuan, stopped naturally when Jiang Xinxuan’s WeChat on her phone pinged.

"Mom, it’s a message from Cousin, she says they’ve already arrived in Huangtong City and will be home soon."

Jiang Xinxuan felt a bit worried when she heard the WeChat notification.

Could it be she had talked with her mother for too long and Su Mu had already arrived?

After all, Jiang Xinxuan used to wait for him at the villa complex’s main gate.

Jiang Xinxuan certainly didn’t want to make Su Mu wait for her.

Jiang Xinxuan felt having Su Mu come all this way to pick her up already showed that he was a very good boyfriend.

Of course, Jiang Xinxuan didn’t want to give Su Mu the impression she was acting spoiled.

Luckily, after opening WeChat, Jiang Xinxuan realized it was a message from her cousin.

The anxious heart of Jiang Xinxuan finally settled.

After glancing at the time on her phone, Jiang Xinxuan realized she had indeed talked with her mother for quite a while.

She quickly replied to Bai Wanting’s WeChat, already knowing that her uncle had agreed to her cousin’s marriage to Allen.

Jiang Xinxuan naturally didn’t need to worry about her cousin anymore.

Jiang Xinxuan now didn’t dare waste any more time.

For Jiang Xinxuan, waiting at the gate of the villa complex for Su Mu to arrive was the most important thing.

"Mom, I won’t talk anymore; Su Mu should be arriving soon."

Without giving her mother a chance to speak, Jiang Xinxuan went straight to the door, changed her shoes and left the house.
