Damn, How could my family be so wealthy?!-Chapter 429 - 428 Commemorative Significance

"Welcome, Miss Jiang, what kind of flowers would you like to buy this time? Carnations again?"

Su Mu and Jiang Xinxuan had just arrived at the entrance of the flower shop when a girl who seemed to be a shop assistant came out to greet them.

The main reason was that the girl was too young, and Su Mu found it hard to tell whether she was the owner of the flower shop or an employee.

Su Mu didn’t pay much attention to the girl, otherwise, he would have noticed that she was quite well-dressed.

It should not be as simple as a common part-timer.

Seeing the girl greet Xinxuan directly, Su Mu knew that his girlfriend must have been a regular customer of this flower shop.

In fact, Jiang Xinxuan wasn’t really a regular customer of the flower shop.

After all, Jiang Xinxuan had only bought flowers here a few times.

With flower shops everywhere in today’s cities, Jiang Xinxuan wouldn’t specially make a trip to Wanda Plaza just to buy a bouquet of flowers.

It was only when she happened to be shopping at Wanda Plaza that Jiang Xinxuan would buy a bouquet from this shop to take home.

Jiang Xinxuan felt that bringing flowers home would not only make her mother happy.

Such beautiful flowers displayed in the living room at home would also make her own mood more beautiful.

"Su Mu, you pick this time. Whatever flowers you find beautiful, just buy them."

Jiang Xinxuan felt that since it was Su Mu buying flowers for her mother, of course, Su Mu should be the one to decide.

Therefore, in response to the shop owner’s question, Jiang Xinxuan just smiled and did not say anything.

Having frequented the shop a few times, Jiang Xinxuan knew that this particularly young-looking girl was the shop owner, not some part-timer.

Of course, Jiang Xinxuan felt that someone of Su Mu’s status didn’t need to get to know these people.

Naturally, Jiang Xinxuan didn’t introduce the shop owner to Su Mu.

Jiang Xinxuan thought that she was at best slightly familiar with this shop owner.

If it hadn’t been for the shop owner’s keenness in noticing that Jiang Xinxuan was not just any ordinary girl and her special enthusiasm,

the biggest connection between Jiang Xinxuan and the shop owner would only be a nodding acquaintance.

The shop owner, seeing that Miss Jiang did not come to buy flowers on her own but instead was arm in arm with an exceptionally handsome man,

understood from their demeanor that this handsome man was Miss Jiang’s boyfriend.

Because the man was so handsome and the shop owner was a young girl,

she couldn’t help but take several glances at the handsome man.

Of course, these glances were stolen discreetly; the girl knew all too well the importance of not offending the customers.

The shop owner really wanted to go over and greet the handsome man, but with Miss Jiang, such a gorgeous woman, by his side,

she knew that her own looks could not possibly compare with Miss Jiang’s.

She had to quietly stand aside, waiting for a good opportunity to make her presence felt in front of the handsome man.

"Didn’t you say your mother likes carnations? Let’s still get a bouquet of carnations."

Su Mu felt this question didn’t really require any consideration.

Initially, Su Mu hadn’t done an in-depth study on flowers.

Moreover, Xinxuan had already mentioned earlier that her mother liked carnations.

Since they already had the best answer, was there a need to make any other comparisons?

"Sir, are you buying flowers for your girlfriend’s mother?"

"Then carnations really are the best choice."

"When giving flowers to a mother, it’s best to choose a bouquet of pink carnations; they symbolize the undying love of a mother and also wish for the mother to always stay young and beautiful."

It seemed the shop owner, having finally found an opportunity to speak, wasted no time in jumping into the conversation after hearing the handsome man and Miss Jiang talk.

Carnations?

Her own flower shop had plenty of them, all varieties included.

The key point was that the florist felt she had shown off her professional knowledge in front of the handsome guy.

On this note, the florist was quite proud of herself.

She might not become the handsome guy’s girlfriend, but in certain aspects, she was indeed superior to his girlfriend.

Of course, this was an advantage that the florist could only spot by using a magnifying glass to compare herself with Miss Jiang by the side of the handsome guy.

And it was quite unfair, to say the least.

After all, Miss Jiang was just a customer who occasionally bought flowers from the shop, how could she compare with someone who dealt with flowers every day?

Because this was just a little scheme of the florist, Su Mu and Jiang Xinxuan would have no way of knowing.

Naturally, they wouldn’t hold it against the florist.

Even if the florist really tried to compete with Jiang Xinxuan in this regard, it was likely that no one would pay her any attention in the end.

"It seems that the carnations Miss Jiang bought before were all for her mother, right? Miss Jiang’s mother must really like carnations, huh?"

Looking for a way to keep the conversation going, the florist repeated what Su Mu had said earlier.

Now, in order to get closer to the handsome guy, the florist brought it up again.

Knowing she couldn’t please the handsome man openly, the florist had to start with Jiang Xinxuan.

"Miss Jiang is really filial. It’s rare to find such filial young people these days,"

she said with an aire of a pretentious old person as if she were much older herself.

"Su Mu, what do you think?"

Jiang Xinxuan, acknowledging that the florist knew more about flowers, showed genuine humility on this topic.

Although Jiang Xinxuan agreed that the florist made a lot of sense, ultimately, it was her boyfriend who would make the final decision.

"Let’s go with a bunch of pink carnations then,"

As a person knowledgeable about flowers, Su Mu was naturally willing to consider some professional advice.

Besides, the carnations were really just an impromptu purchase; the real gift wasn’t going to be just a bunch of flowers.

Su Mu, therefore, wasn’t too concerned about it.

Xuanxuan’s mother liked carnations, and pink carnations had a very nice meaning.

Su Mu naturally went straight for the pink carnations.

"Alright, sir, how many carnations would you like wrapped up?"

This time, the florist found a perfectly reasonable opportunity to chat with the handsome man.

Now that the handsome man was buying the flowers for Miss Jiang’s mother, the florist felt it was only right to address the real buyer.

"You decide,"

Su Mu glanced at the variously sized, pre-wrapped bunches of flowers in the shop.

"As long as it’s manageable,"

he added upon seeing an especially large bouquet.

Because Su Mu had estimated that it was quite unlikely for him to carry such a large bouquet of flowers.

If the florist ended up presenting him with such a massive bunch of carnations, he knew not to mention fitting it into his Ferrari.

Even if he managed to squeeze them into the car, Xuanxuan’s mother would probably only be able to see the flowers if he arrived carrying such a huge bouquet.

"OK, OK, please wait a moment, I’ll go pick out the best pink carnations to wrap up for you right away,"

"I’ll make sure Miss Jiang’s mother will be pleased."

The florist thought she was extremely lucky today, having had the chance to speak so much with such an incredibly handsome man.

Unfortunately, since Su Mu’s girlfriend, Miss Jiang, was also present, the flower shop owner couldn’t clearly express her joy on her face.

Otherwise, the flower shop owner would have turned into a silly, lovesick fool.

Not only could that affect her future business,

but most importantly, the flower shop owner was afraid that if she made it too obvious, Miss Jiang might not bring the handsome Su Mu to her shop again. What then?

Miss Jiang had bought flowers from her shop a few times before, and the flower shop owner was certain that it was Miss Jiang who had brought Su Mu along this time, too.

Otherwise, why hadn’t she ever seen Su Mu come to the flower shop by himself?

After hurriedly speaking to Su Mu, the flower shop owner dared not let her gaze linger on his face and quickly scurried back into the store to work.

"Su Mu, the flowers from this shop are okay, aren’t they?"

Jiang Xinxuan was probably used to the admiring glances from girls smitten with Su Mu.

Of course, even if Jiang Xinxuan wasn’t used to it, there was nothing she could do about it.

Su Mu was so handsome, and this had been an ironclad fact even before he became Jiang Xinxuan’s boyfriend.

Apart from getting used to it, Jiang Xinxuan really had no other choice.

She couldn’t exactly ask Su Mu to wear a mask every time he went out just because her boyfriend was too handsome, could she?

Not to mention that Su Mu would not agree, Jiang Xinxuan wouldn’t even consider making such a foolish suggestion.

"They’re not bad."

Su Mu truly didn’t have much interest in flowers and plants.

Sometimes Su Mu didn’t understand why girls liked flowers so much.

Not just girls, but basically all women seemed to like them.

Of course, since there are gender differences, it was normal that Su Mu couldn’t understand.

So, Su Mu never voiced this question.

After all, everyone has different tastes, especially when it comes to something that transcends gender.

Therefore, for Su Mu, this was no longer a question.

If he didn’t understand, then so be it. It wasn’t anything important anyway.

Jiang Xinxuan could tell from Su Mu’s lack of enthusiasm that her boyfriend wasn’t very interested in these beautiful flowers.

Since Su Mu wasn’t interested, of course, Jiang Xinxuan wouldn’t keep dragging him to admire them.

Fortunately, the flower shop owner was very quick.

"Sir, Miss Jiang, your bouquet is ready. Are the two of you satisfied with it?"

The flower shop owner was very confident in her skills.

Moreover, aiming to impress the handsome Su Mu, the flower shop owner had indeed put extra effort into her work this time.

"How beautiful!"

It was Jiang Xinxuan, who loved flowers, that let out an exclamation of admiration.

"Boss, your skills have gotten better and better."

Jiang Xinxuan found this bouquet of carnations to be the prettiest she had ever bought from this shop.

Jiang Xinxuan simply thought the shop owner’s skills had improved.

What Jiang Xinxuan didn’t know was that the flower shop owner just wanted to show off a bit in front of Su Mu.

"It’s nothing, really. As long as you both like it, that’s all that matters."

The flower shop owner, still a young girl, felt somewhat embarrassed being praised by Jiang Xinxuan in front of Su Mu.

Of course, the flower shop owner still snuck a glance at the handsome guy.

I’ve put so much care into wrapping these carnations; I wonder if the handsome guy will like them?

"Su Mu, do you think it looks good?"

Jiang Xinxuan had already taken the carnations from the florist’s hands and was extending some toward Su Mu.

It must be that Jiang Xinxuan thought these were the flowers Su Mu intended to give to his mother; it only made sense to let Su Mu check whether they met his satisfaction.

Although Jiang Xinxuan found the bouquet of carnations truly beautiful, she still wanted to solicit Su Mu’s opinion.

"It’s beautiful."

Carnations were inherently beautiful, and with the florist having added Baby’s Breath around, the visual effect was indeed quite pleasing.

Even Su Mu, someone not particularly fond of flowers, felt a brightness in front of his eyes looking at them.

"If the two of you like it, I’m sure Miss Jiang’s mother will love it too."

The florist, having received the handsome guy’s approval, was excited as if he’d won the lottery.

Of course, the florist hadn’t forgotten what the handsome guy intended to use these carnations for.

Mentioning it casually was also meant to make Miss Jiang feel less abrupt.

"Do you offer a flower delivery service?"

This was Su Mu’s first time in a flower shop, and he wasn’t quite sure if such a service was offered.

"Yes, of course, our flower shop can provide delivery services anywhere in the city."

The florist didn’t even mention that there was a certain fee for the delivery service.

At that moment, the florist was just a young girl again.

Seeing that it was the handsome guy’s first time formally speaking to her in her flower shop, her heart almost soared with excitement.

As for that little service fee, the florist, of course, wouldn’t give it a second thought.

Jiang Xinxuan gave Su Mu a look but said nothing.

However, Jiang Xinxuan had a big question in her mind.

Was Su Mu buying flowers for another girl?

Logically, it shouldn’t be the case.

After all, she, his official girlfriend, was standing right beside Su Mu; if he wanted to give flowers to another girl, he shouldn’t be so unconcerned about hiding it from her, should he?

Jiang Xinxuan remembered very clearly that since she and Su Mu had started dating, he had never given her flowers or anything of the sort.

Initially, Jiang Xinxuan thought it might be because Su Mu didn’t like to give flowers, or perhaps he didn’t approve of the gesture.

Therefore, Jiang Xinxuan had never specially mentioned it in front of Su Mu.

Yet now, seeing Su Mu asking such a question, Jiang Xinxuan couldn’t help but feel sour inside.

She, his girlfriend, hadn’t received any flowers from Su Mu yet; who was Su Mu planning to give flowers to now?

Jiang Xinxuan knew from Su Mu’s inquiry to the florist that the flowers he was buying this time definitely weren’t for her.

After all, she was standing right there in the flower shop; if Su Mu had wanted to buy flowers for her, why would he need a delivery service?

Why not just purchase and hand them to her directly?

The more she thought about it, the sourer she felt, and Jiang Xinxuan couldn’t help but glance at Su Mu again.

Jiang Xinxuan hoped that Su Mu would notice her mood and estimate her feelings.

Today was supposed to be the big day that Su Mu was visiting her family, a day with great sentimental importance for Jiang Xinxuan.

She didn’t want her mood ruined over some mysterious bouquet of flowers.

"Wrap another bouquet just like this one and send it to Su Family Group. Have Ms. Bai Xiuping sign for it," Su Mu instructed.

"Also, could you write a card for me, signed by Su Mu?"
