Damn, How could my family be so wealthy?!-Chapter 432 - 431: Completely Picked Clean

Guided by Xuanxuan, Su Mu steadily parked his car in front of a villa.

Since it was a villa district, the villas actually looked quite similar from the outside.

For Su Mu, who was visiting the Yulong Lake Villa district for the first time, if it weren’t for his girlfriend sitting in his car,

even knowing the villa number, it would still be somewhat difficult to find the place so smoothly.

Su Mu had only ever picked up and dropped off his girlfriend outside the gates of the Yulong Lake Villa district before.

Su Mu had never seriously considered just how large the Yulong Lake Villa district really was.

Now, it became clear that, as the second major hub for the wealthy after the seaside affluent areas, Yulong Lake Villa district truly lived up to its reputation.

Once inside Yulong Lake Villa district, one could see that it was indeed very large.

To call it a villa district is actually an understatement; each villa was a separate entity.

Unlike those row villas, which despite being called villas, weren’t much larger than those three or four-bedroom apartments,

the villas inside Yulong Lake Villa district were different.

These were genuinely spacious villas.

Each one was detached, eliminating any possibility of neighborly disputes.

Being detached and with so many villas, it would be difficult for a stranger to find someone inside.

"We’ve arrived, Su Mu, this is my home,"

Jiang Xinxuan was the first to unbuckle her seatbelt but didn’t get out of the car immediately.

After Su Mu also unbuckled his seatbelt, Jiang Xinxuan and Su Mu got out of the car together.

Of course, when Su Mu got out, he was carrying the gift bag from the Yu Yuan Jewelry Store.

Su Mu and Jiang Xinxuan had just gone shopping at Wanda Plaza for the purpose of buying a gift.

Of course, Su Mu wouldn’t possibly forget the gift in his car.

Otherwise, wouldn’t that purchase have been in vain?

With Su Mu holding the gift bag, the huge bouquet of carnations was, of course, carried by Jiang Xinxuan.

"Su Mu, let’s go in,"

Still holding the bouquet in her right hand, she took Su Mu’s arm with her left.

Having already briefed her parents, Jiang Xinxuan did not feel uncomfortable with the intimate gesture in front of her parents.

Isn’t it a perfectly normal behavior when you’re in love?

"Sure,"

There was none of the timidity of a first visit, no feelings of embarrassment.

Su Mu was actually very calm.

Not because he was the young master of the Su Family Company.

For Su Mu, he never fought battles he wasn’t sure he could win.

Su Mu had agreed to visit his girlfriend’s home because he was fully confident.

If before Su Mu had felt that his own family background didn’t match Xuanxuan’s, he wouldn’t have even started dating Jiang Xinxuan,

let alone visit Xuanxuan’s home.

"Is this Su Mu? Welcome, welcome,"

Jiang Xinxuan and Su Mu hadn’t even approached the villa’s front door when it was opened from the inside.

A middle-aged woman with a smile on her face and a very refined and luxurious demeanor came walking out.

Without needing an introduction, the woman called out Su Mu’s name right away.

Of course, seeing Jiang Xinxuan on Su Mu’s arm, the nature of the two young people’s relationship was clear at a glance.

"Auntie, hello, I’m Su Mu."

Similarly, Su Mu did not need Xuanxuan to introduce the lady in front of him dressed like a wealthy woman to guess her identity.

Living in the Jiang Family’s villa, knowing both his relationship with Xuanxuan and that he was returning to the Jiang Family home today.

Was such an obvious identity even in need of guessing?

"Good, good, good, Su Mu, please come inside."

"And Xuanxuan, what are you standing there for? Hurry up and bring Su Mu inside."

Su Mu’s guess was not wrong at all; the person who answered the door was indeed Jiang Xinxuan’s mother, Bai Mingyun.

Since the tea set had been delivered, Bai Mingyun had talked to her daughter over the phone.

Bai Mingyun knew that Xuanxuan and Su Mu would soon be home as well.

Bai Mingyun’s preparations were almost complete.

After all, Bai Mingyun played the role of commander, while the actual work was done by the servants.

Therefore, Bai Mingyun had been waiting at the front door ever since she hung up the phone.

Of course, Bai Mingyun did not seem too eager, just opening the door and waiting for Su Mu’s arrival.

Even if Bai Mingyun was anxious inside, she would never act so lacking in measure in her actions.

It was only after seeing Su Mu and Xuanxuan get out of the car, seemingly not in a hurry to enter the house,

That Bai Mingyun could not help herself and opened the front door first. novelbuddy.cσ๓

However, this was not a big deal; it simply showed how much Bai Mingyun valued Su Mu’s visit to the house today.

Bai Mingyun realized that her daughter was really not proactive enough today.

Shouldn’t Xuanxuan have led Su Mu into the house as soon as they got out of the car?

In Bai Mingyun’s view, even if Xuanxuan dallied for just a minute or two outside, it was considered a show of lack of initiative.

Bearing in mind that as a mother, Bai Mingyun had been excited since last night upon knowing that Su Mu was coming over today.

Especially after seeing Su Mu get out of the car, Bai Mingyun felt even more that her daughter had good taste.

Setting aside Su Mu’s identity and background, just his extraordinary appearance alone made Bai Mingyun think that this young man was indeed exceptional.

Suddenly, Bai Mingyun had the thought that her daughter had indeed married up by being with Su Mu.

Not just in terms of identity and background, but now, even judging solely on appearance, Bai Mingyun felt Su Mu was a cut above.

"Mom, Su Mu and I were just about to come in. Who knew you would come running out?"

Being reprimanded by her mother in front of Su Mu, Jiang Xinxuan pursed her lips, feeling that she should explain herself.

Otherwise, by her mother’s tone, it was as if she had no clue about bringing Su Mu inside.

Jiang Xinxuan felt she had been wronged.

Su Mu had bought such a large bouquet of fresh flowers for her mother.

Shouldn’t Jiang Xinxuan handle it carefully, taking it out of the car?

Jiang Xinxuan was also afraid of damaging the bouquet and affecting its beauty.

Thinking of this, Jiang Xinxuan handed the flowers she was holding to her mother.

"Mom, these are from Su Mu for you, aren’t they beautiful?"

Feeling misunderstood by her mother, Jiang Xinxuan thought it was sufficient to clear things up in front of Su Mu and there was no need to argue with her mother.

After all, the most important thing was Su Mu’s visit to their home today.

Of course, Jiang Xinxuan also understood that her mother was just too concerned about the matter, hence the excess nervousness.

"Such beautiful carnations, Su Mu, aunty thanks you."

As someone who loved flowers, Bai Mingyun certainly understood the language of carnations.

Not to mention these were pink carnations, which held an even more special meaning.

Looking at the flowers in her hand and then at Su Mu, Bai Mingyun thought Su Mu was not just any ordinary rich second generation.

"If Auntie likes it, that’s good."

Su Mu smiled gently, seeing that Xuanxuan’s mom was so fond of these carnations.

His own mom was also a woman who loved flowers; she would certainly be very happy to receive the flowers he sent, right?

"Su Mu, look at me chatting away and blocking the doorway."

Bai Mingyun, holding the flowers Su Mu had given her, thought about how she indeed had been admiring them for a while.

Feeling somewhat embarrassed, Bai Mingyun quickly invited Su Mu inside.

"Xuanxuan, why didn’t you remind Mom? Hurry and invite Su Mu in."

At this moment, her daughter was undoubtedly the best shield.

After all, it was Bai Mingyun’s first time meeting Su Mu, and she didn’t want to leave a bad impression on him.

Since Xuanxuan and Su Mu were boyfriend and girlfriend, Bai Mingyun knew it was most appropriate to bring Xuanxuan into this.

"Su Mu, let’s go inside."

This time, Jiang Xinxuan didn’t bother explaining either.

Jiang Xinxuan had also noticed that his mom had indeed been a bit excited just now.

Jiang Xinxuan didn’t understand; by all accounts, it should be Su Mu’s first time visiting his home.

Shouldn’t Su Mu be the one who was nervous and excited?

Now, why had it become his mom instead?

However, these were not questions Jiang Xinxuan would actually ask.

The left hand that had been arm in arm with Su Mu had to be let go when he handed the flowers to his mom.

At this moment, Jiang Xinxuan took Su Mu’s arm once again.

Bai Mingyun slightly stepped aside, making way for them to enter.

Jiang Xinxuan, arm in arm with Su Mu, walked naturally through the villa’s grand entrance.

If one didn’t know that today was Su Mu’s first visit to the Jiang family home, seeing this scene, they might think it was Su Mu bringing his girlfriend home.

Because of Bai Mingyun’s insistence, neither Su Mu nor Jiang Xinxuan changed shoes.

Jiang Xinxuan paid special attention and saw that his mom was still properly wearing her high heels.

Jiang Xinxuan silently gave his mom a thumbs up in his mind, surprised that she had considered all these small details so thoroughly.

Since Bai Mingyun was an elder, when Su Mu and Jiang Xinxuan stepped through the villa’s entrance, it was of course polite to let Bai Mingyun go in first.

This time, Bai Mingyun didn’t refuse and, holding that big bunch of carnations, walked at the forefront into the living room.

She handed the flowers she was holding to the maid standing by the side.

Bai Mingyun specifically instructed that they be placed in the best vase.

"Su Mu, please sit down."

"Xuanxuan, quickly tend to Su Mu, have him sit down."

Since Bai Mingyun, the elder, was fussing over the flowers, of course, Su Mu could not simply sit down first.

It was a matter of courtesy, which Su Mu certainly understood.

When Bai Mingyun turned around, she noticed this as well and hurriedly invited Su Mu to sit down.

"Auntie, this is for you, I hope you like it."

The bunch of carnations was just an extra; the real gift was still being carried by Su Mu.

Before sitting down, Su Mu handed the gift bag over to Xuanxuan’s mom.

"Ah? Su Mu, why did you bring such a valuable gift when visiting our home?"

"The tea set from Xuanxuan’s dad is already very expensive; Auntie can’t accept another gift."

Bai Mingyun didn’t need to open the gift box to guess that the item inside was definitely worth a lot.

The words "Yu Yuan Jewelry" on the gift bag were very conspicuous.

Bai Mingyun had some knowledge of jade and knew that jade from Yu Yuan Jewelry Store was also quite expensive.

Another point was that Bai Mingyun had already experienced the generosity of Su Mu’s gift-giving.

The entire tea set that was now displayed in her husband’s study was the best proof of this.

The entire tea set in itself may not necessarily prove anything.

However, the tea set Su Mu had gifted was worth more than three million yuan.

That was certainly not something that could be ignored.

If the tea set was already so expensive, could Su Mu possibly choose something cheap from the famously luxurious Yu Yuan Jewelry Store?

Bai Mingyun was not naive enough to think that the gift Su Mu was offering was only worth a little money.

Bai Mingyun waved her hand, indicating that she could not accept such an expensive gift from Su Mu.

This was Su Mu’s first visit to her home, and it was Bai Mingyun and her husband who had invited him over.

Yet Su Mu had brought two valuable gifts right away.

Bai Mingyun even felt like she had invited Su Mu over just to give gifts.

Of course, Bai Mingyun’s initial intention was not to accept gifts from Su Mu.

So now, she was also trying to decline the offer.

The tea set was accepted earlier because it came from the tea set shop.

Additionally, when Bai Mingyun called her daughter, Xuanxuan had also told her over the phone to just accept it.

Bai Mingyun couldn’t possibly argue with the delivery men about whether or not to accept a gift from her daughter’s boyfriend.

With no other option, Bai Mingyun knew that since Su Mu had already paid, it was impossible for the delivery men to take it back.

Who would be foolish enough to refund a transaction that had already been completed?

Therefore, the tea set gifted by Su Mu was now safely placed in Jiang Maohua’s study.

Jiang Maohua was rather open-minded about it.

He knew that since the gift was from Su Mu, it must have been given sincerely.

Moreover, the tea set Su Mu had gifted really did suit Jiang Maohua’s taste.

Jiang Maohua found that Su Mu had been very thoughtful, not only giving a complete tea set but even pairing it with tea leaves.

Top-notch early spring Dragon Well tea was definitely a fine choice for someone like Jiang Maohua, who understood tea.

Therefore, Jiang Maohua was not present in the living room at the moment.

He was in the study, busy arranging the tea set that Su Mu had just gifted him.

Jiang Maohua felt that he definitely had to serve Su Mu a cup of tea he brewed himself when Su Mu and Xuanxuan came home.

This was also a token of Jiang Maohua’s appreciation.

"Auntie, I picked this out especially for you, and if you refuse to accept it, I’ll be too embarrassed to come over again," Su Mu said.

He didn’t say it was chosen together with Xuanxuan.

Because Su Mu already knew that his girlfriend’s mother had cautioned him not to buy anything too expensive before Xuanxuan left the house.

In a way, Su Mu was indirectly clarifying that purchasing this gift had nothing to do with Xuanxuan.

Actually, what Su Mu said was true, the decision had been made by himself alone.

Of course, the role Xuanxuan played was informing Su Mu of her mother’s fondness for jade, which was vital information.

Jiang Xinxuan glanced at Su Mu and thought her boyfriend was really considerate.

Jiang Xinxuan knew that with Su Mu saying this, if her mother ever nagged her about this matter in the future, Jiang Xinxuan could distance herself from it.

After all, the gift was chosen by Su Mu, and he was the one who paid for it.

Having nothing to do with Jiang Xinxuan, she felt she could finally extricate herself completely from the matter of giving gifts.
