Damn, How could my family be so wealthy?!-Chapter 423 - 422: Leading Astray

"Xuanxuan, remember what Mom said."

Bai Mingyun looked at her daughter, seemingly not taking her words seriously, and became somewhat anxious.

But Bai Mingyun also knew Xuanxuan was in such a hurry probably because the time she’d arranged with Su Mu was drawing near.

Bai Mingyun didn’t feel right about holding Xuanxuan back to nag her further.

Bai Mingyun also knew it wouldn’t be too good to let Su Mu keep waiting at the entrance of the villa area.

With no other choice, Bai Mingyun could only follow her to the villa’s main gate and give her daughter a final reminder.

As for how much of her earlier words Xuanxuan had taken in, Bai Mingyun couldn’t really be sure.

"I know, Mom, I really have to go now, bye."

Jiang Xinxuan did seem to be in a great hurry, half-running towards the gate of the villa area.

Fortunately, Jiang Xinxuan was wearing flat leather shoes; otherwise, Bai Mingyun would really worry about her daughter tripping over.

"Wife, why are you standing at the door all this time? Su Mu shouldn’t be coming so early, right?"

Jiang Maohua, who had just held a video conference in his study, saw the villa’s main gate wide open as he came out.

And there was his wife, standing at the entrance looking outside.

Jiang Maohua felt very curious as it seemed his wife was waiting for someone.

As for today’s honorable guest of the Jiang Family, it was only Su Mu; naturally, the person his wife could be waiting for was Su Mu.

Yet Jiang Maohua glanced at the time and found it was still quite early.

Jiang Maohua didn’t think Su Mu would come for a visit so early; that would be somewhat illogical.

Jiang Maohua, puzzled, naturally went straight up to ask.

"How could that be possible? Su Mu is a member of the Su Family; it’s unlikely he would do anything so inappropriate."

Bai Mingyun flatly denied her husband’s speculation.

Bai Mingyun gave her husband a look that said if you don’t know, then don’t talk, as if she knew Su Mu very well.

Actually, Bai Mingyun felt a bit embarrassed inside.

Hadn’t she herself speculated the same thing in front of Xuanxuan earlier?

Now that she knew the true situation, Bai Mingyun felt somewhat sheepish in front of her husband.

"I also think it’s unlikely." fɾēewebnσveℓ.com

Jiang Maohua nodded. He had thought it unlikely too, and if anyone was to be blamed, it was his wife’s actions that had led him astray.

"Wife, since it’s unlikely for Su Mu to come so early, why have you been standing at the gate all this time?"

"Where is Xuanxuan? Wasn’t she in the living room all this time after seeing off her aunt? Where did Xuanxuan go now?"

Jiang Maohua believed his daughter should have been staying in the living room waiting for Su Mu.

After all, Xuanxuan had dressed up nicely since early in the morning.

Moreover, after sending away He Jingfen and Bai Wanting, along with Allen, Xuanxuan didn’t seem to want to go back to her room.

Jiang Maohua remembered before he went into his study, Xuanxuan was sitting on the living room sofa clutching her phone.

As her father, Jiang Maohua didn’t need to ask to know that his daughter was waiting for a message from Su Mu.

It was also because Su Mu was coming over that night that Jiang Xinxuan only spoke of it after she had come home.

There was an important meeting at Jiang Maohua’s company today.

However, at the strong insistence of his wife, Jiang Maohua had changed the important meeting to a video conference.

In Bai Mingyun’s words, nothing was more important than Su Mu’s visit to their home.

It concerned their daughter’s lifetime of happiness, after all.

With such a firm directive coming down, Jiang Maohua, of course, complied unconditionally.

So, at such a crucial moment, Jiang Maohua felt that he should not even go to the office and instead stay at home all day.

How come Xuanxuan is nowhere to be seen?

Jiang Maohua, of course, found this strange.

"Su Mu is especially polite, insisting on taking Xuanxuan out to pick a gift for us."

"I told Xuanxuan that we are just inviting Su Mu over for a meal, there’s no need to be so courteous."

"But Xuanxuan said, Su Mu said he wouldn’t come empty-handed."

"There was no way around it, your daughter has already left to pick gifts with Su Mu."

Bai Mingyun said this with a smile covering his face.

In Bai Mingyun’s heart, it was extremely precious that Su Mu, the young master of the Su Family conglomerate, was still so polite.

Because of Su Mu’s identity, even if what Su Mu was doing was quite ordinary, Bai Mingyun magnified the goodness of Su Mu enormously.

You know, how many boys would go to meet their girlfriend’s parents for the first time empty-handed?

It’s not about the girl’s parents liking to receive gifts or anything, it’s just a matter of etiquette.

So now Bai Mingyun’s perspective had indeed become somewhat magnified.

"Xuanxuan went out? Then why are you still standing at the doorway?"

"Come in already, didn’t you say you still have a lot of things to prepare?"

"Do you plan to stand at the door waiting for Xuanxuan and Su Mu to return?"

Jiang Maohua wasn’t that bothered about his wife’s mention of Su Mu taking Xuanxuan out to pick a gift.

After all, being a man, Jiang Maohua didn’t have such delicate thoughts and naturally didn’t consider as much as Bai Mingyun did.

"Oh, right, I do have a lot of things to deal with, I won’t keep talking to you."

Reminded by her husband, Bai Mingyun remembered she indeed had a lot of preparatory work to instruct the housekeeper to do.

With a turn, Bai Mingyun sauntered towards the living room, leaving Jiang Maohua standing alone at the front door.

Watching his busy wife, Jiang Maohua shook his head helplessly, closed the front door, and followed into the living room.

...

At the entrance of Yulong Lake Villa, Jiang Xinxuan had arrived for only a few minutes when Su Mu’s black Ferrari 812 arrived from afar.

Seeing her boyfriend’s car, Jiang Xinxuan happily waved her hand.

Jiang Xinxuan secretly rejoiced, grateful that her cousin’s WeChat message was timely, reminding her, otherwise she would have kept Su Mu waiting today.

Su Mu, of course, spotted his gorgeously dressed girlfriend from a distance.

Su Mu noticed Xuanxuan liked to wear figure-hugging dresses.

This type would nicely outline Xuanxuan’s figure.

Moreover, the dresses Xuanxuan generally chose were neither too long nor too short.

About knee-length, covering the thighs while still showing off the slender calves.

Su Mu thought Xuanxuan was quite skillful when it came to dressing up.

Whether this was the result of the Jiang Family’s training from a young age or Xuanxuan’s natural talent was unknown.

In any case, it’s undeniable that Xuanxuan always looked gorgeous in public.

Su Mu parked the car right next to his girlfriend.

There was no need for Su Mu to get out and open the door; Jiang Xinxuan opened the passenger door herself, as she was very familiar with the process, and got in.

"Have you been waiting anxiously?"

Su Mu really noticed that it was always Xuanxuan standing at the entrance of the villa area waiting for him.

Once or twice could be called a coincidence.

But every time it was like this, Su Mu knew, Xuanxuan must have deliberately come out early to ensure this.

Su Mu wasn’t sure if Xuanxuan had been waiting there for a long time after receiving his WeChat message or had just arrived.

If Xuanxuan had been waiting here for a while, then it indeed would have been quite a long time.

"No, I also just arrived."

This time, Jiang Xinxuan was telling the truth.

Because Jiang Xinxuan’s mother kept reminding her daughter about the gift selection Su Mu was preparing to take Xuanxuan for today, Jiang Xinxuan actually almost delayed leaving the house.

"Go to Wanda Plaza."

Su Mu wasn’t asking, but telling his girlfriend their destination.

"Su Mu, my mom said not to buy anything too expensive, a small token is enough."

"Originally, my mom said you shouldn’t bring any gifts, my parents just wanted to meet you, and they would feel embarrassed if you brought gifts."

"Later, when I said you wouldn’t come without bringing a gift, my mom didn’t insist."

"How about you just buy a bouquet of flowers? My mom likes carnations, just bring a bunch of carnations."

"My dad likes drinking tea, so buying some tea leaves is also fine."

Because her mother kept talking about this before she left, Jiang Xinxuan very dutifully conveyed her mother’s intentions to Su Mu.

Jiang Xinxuan thought buying a bunch of carnations and some tea leaves would probably be the not too expensive gifts her mother mentioned, right?

Of course, Jiang Xinxuan knew saying it was one thing, but what Su Mu would actually do was another matter.

After all, there was no way Jiang Xinxuan could change whatever Su Mu decided.

That was all Jiang Xinxuan could do.

"Buying a bunch of carnations is no problem, but as for the rest, we’ll see when we get there."

Su Mu seemed indifferent to what his girlfriend said.

His girlfriend’s mother would definitely say not to bring gifts to their house.

Who would say you have to bring gifts just to visit their home?

Moreover, Su Mu could tell from his girlfriend’s character that her parents were not the type to covet wealth.

Of course, the Jiang Family in Huadong City were wealthy, and they wouldn’t really care about a small gift anyway.

But for Su Mu, his girlfriend’s mother saying gifts were not needed represented the family’s attitude.

If he were to truly show up empty-handed, it would indicate a problem with his own attitude.

"Alright, I’ll listen to you."

Jiang Xinxuan didn’t really have much hope that Su Mu would listen to her.

Besides, Jiang Xinxuan was prepared now.

If the gifts Su Mu bought were indeed too valuable, when she went to meet Su Mu’s parents, she could just bring something more expensive, right?

Jiang Xinxuan was very confident now, as her mother said she would deposit five million into her account.

Five million should be enough to buy gifts, and besides, Jiang Xinxuan’s mother also said to just ask if it wasn’t enough.

With such strong financial backing, of course, Jiang Xinxuan had nothing to worry about.

Su Mu gave his girlfriend a glance, originally thinking that since it was her mother’s instruction, Xuanxuan would have had more to say.

Su Mu had even prepared to listen to Xuanxuan’s lecturing for a little while.

But looking at Xuanxuan now, all obedient girlfriend, Su Mu suddenly felt like his girlfriend might be too obedient.

"Allen and your cousin’s wedding must be coming up soon, right?"

Since there was no need to continue discussing the gift issue, Su Mu certainly wouldn’t bring the topic up again either.

Thinking that Allen and Bai Wanting had also suddenly returned to Huangtong City, Su Mu still asked with concern.

"It should be soon, the exact date hasn’t been set yet."

"My uncle only nodded his agreement to my cousin and Allen’s marriage yesterday, so my aunt rushed over late at night."

"Early this morning, my aunt took my cousin and Allen back with her. Once they’re back, they will probably start discussing the details of the wedding."

Without Jiang Xinxuan saying more, Su Mu knew that Bai Wanting’s belly wouldn’t be able to wait much longer.

Since Bai Wanting’s father had agreed, the wedding wouldn’t be dragged out for too long.

Letting Bai Wanting have a wedding while heavily pregnant was probably something neither her parents nor Bai Wanting herself would want to see happen.

This is China, after all, where getting pregnant before marriage isn’t a very glorious thing.

It was natural for the Bai Family to consider this point.

Su Mu guessed that Xuanxuan’s uncle had nodded his head in such a short time because of this reason.

"Regardless, Allen has finally gained your uncle’s approval."

Su Mu felt that Allen was a very decent young man.

Setting aside nationality, there really wasn’t any aspect where Allen was not a match for Bai Wanting.

"My uncle is very stubborn. If it weren’t for my cousin pulling a big move, my uncle wouldn’t have agreed so easily."

"So, for Allen to gain my uncle’s complete approval won’t be that easy to achieve."

Knowing her uncle well, Jiang Xinxuan was not as optimistic as Su Mu.

"What’s there to worry about? Once the child in your cousin’s belly is born, your uncle won’t fret over these things anymore."

Grandparental love, Su Mu now had a deep understanding of it.

Su Mu believed that once the child of Allen and Bai Wanting was born,

their love would extend to the spouse, and Xuanxuan’s uncle would certainly accept Allen from the heart.

"Hmm, I hope that’s the case."

The two moved on from talking about Bai Wanting’s marriage to discussing the matter of Four Eyes seeking the girl from his past.

Hearing that Four Eyes was to start officially dating his girl from the past today, Jiang Xinxuan also felt genuinely happy for Four Eyes.

For Jiang Xinxuan, Su Mu’s friends were her friends too.

Now, Jiang Xinxuan considered Four Eyes to be a good friend of her own.

"By the way, what does Four Eyes’ girl from the past actually look like? What could’ve charmed Four Eyes to this extent?"

Jiang Xinxuan had only seen the photo Four Eyes posted on his moments feed, just a back view, which really did not reveal what the girl actually looked like.

However, Jiang Xinxuan guessed she must be pretty attractive.

Otherwise, Four Eyes wouldn’t have been so smitten at first sight.

Jiang Xinxuan felt that even if Four Eyes’ girl was not a stunning beauty, she surely was a beauty.

After all, someone who can enchant a boy at first glance certainly won’t be lacking in looks.

"She seems okay in the photo, I guess."

Su Mu indicated that he hadn’t seen her in person either, only a brief glance at a photo from Li Minli’s documentation left at Xinghuan Entertainment.

She looked quite delicate.

But Su Mu had merely glanced briefly and hadn’t really taken a good look.

So now, on the matter of girlfriends, Su Mu could only give such a vague answer.
